01:07Stand up. I didn't invite you to sit down.
01:24That's bad publicity for my business, Brent.
01:30How much did it cost to reelect you?
01:34You've been reading the funny papers again, Owen.
01:37Look here, Brent. You can't get away with it. You can't put me...
01:40I can't, but I will.
01:43You and every rat that hasn't found a hole to crawl into when that deadline is up.
01:48I've heard that before.
01:51Just around election time.
01:54Yes.
01:56Now get this, Owen.
01:59You're a candidate right now for that hot seat up in the big house.
02:05And if you're in town by this time tomorrow, you're as good as elected.
02:16Yes, Mr. Brent.
02:18Tell Bozier I want him now.
02:25Well, once the headlines tell the truth.
02:30You've been dishing it out a long time, Owens.
02:34It's your turn now to take it.
02:42Hello, Bronx.
02:44How are you, Flatfoot?
02:46Butcher's been reading the experts.
02:49He came away up here to tell me that he didn't like the headlines.
02:53I was afraid you wouldn't know where to find me.
02:55Wrong again, Butch.
02:57That's not a bad little hideout you moved your girlfriend into.
03:00But if you'd asked me, I could have picked one with a southern exposure.
03:04Boy, you're double-crossing...
03:05Wait a minute.
03:09Kick him with that present that was slipped to you yesterday.
03:12Present?
03:13Yeah.
03:14A present?
03:16Kill there.
03:18Don't tell me you've been accepting presents.
03:20Yeah.
03:21That's the kind of mug he is.
03:23How do you like him now?
03:26I kind of like him.
03:30Is this what you want to take back, Owens?
03:35From a pal to a pal.
03:38Thanks, Butch, for the thought.
03:42But the brand's too expensive.
03:44I haven't learned to smoke them yet.
03:48I'll keep the case just to remember you by.
03:51When you're gone.
03:53Where do you think I'm going?
03:55Maybe for a ride.
03:57You never can tell.
03:59Funny guy.
04:01Better take this along with you, Owens, as a gentle reminder.
04:05I can't read.
04:07Wipe your feet on it.
04:11Close the door, Butch.
04:13From the outside.
04:19What are you doing tonight, Breezy?
04:21It's taken me three weeks to line this up, Chief.
04:24But she's a swell as little...
04:26Well, put her on ice.
04:30Send Miss Wallace in.
04:34Where does Louis Walsh hang out at night?
04:36Mostly over at Jess Harvey's nightclub.
04:39The new one he calls the back door.
04:41I think Louis has a piece of it.
04:43You know, they're in together on the beer racket.
04:50Still a blonde, Myrna?
04:53Yep, but still not your type, Breezy.
04:57Miss Wallace, Bree's jumping out with you tonight.
05:01He's taking you to the back door.
05:04What's the matter with the front door?
05:06It's padlocked.
05:08Say, listen, I've got a date with my husband tonight.
05:11Well, do the same as I'm doing, sweetheart.
05:13Put him on ice.
05:15I hate to spoil your dates, but this is important.
05:19A head look before we were ready.
05:21This will bring a showdown between the Owens mob and Louis Walsh.
05:25Now, Butch is apt to make another try to get Louis before they get out of town.
05:29If any of them show up at Jess Harvey's tonight, you'll be there.
05:34Hit me on the phone quick.
05:36We won't be three minutes away.
05:38Right.
05:40What'll I wear, Blondie?
05:42Soup and fish?
05:43No.
05:44You might look just like a waiter.
05:46You'd better wear dinner clothes.
05:48Besides, you have to pay for the soup and fish.
05:51I'll pick you up at 9 o'clock.
05:53Oh, my husband's going to be darned to meet you.
05:56Oh, yeah?
05:57Oh, yeah.
05:58Hey!
06:01Ha, ha, ha!
06:14Good evening.
06:22Madame.
06:24I hope everything will be all right.
06:31Thanks.
06:32Get from the D.A.'s office.
06:43What's the matter, Ray?
06:53No, I'll keep it.
07:03Watch.
07:04I knew it.
07:13Good evening, Mr. Owen.
07:14How are you, Jeff?
07:16Fine.
07:18I got a nice table for you.
07:21Over there.
07:23Here, that's a nice table.
07:25For somebody else.
07:27We'll sit here.
07:31Mr. Owen.
07:41Your diaper.
07:49We'd better get out of here, Louie.
07:51Shut up.
07:52My mom is on her way here.
07:53I don't like the look of this, Louie.
07:55Well, who's in the bathroom?
07:57Get me a rock.
07:59Blow on it later.
08:00Yes, sir.
08:10Scram the lamp.
08:11I don't want anything in front of me.
08:18This looks like the start of a swell evening.
08:24I'd like to get to that telephone, but I'm afraid Butch will tumble.
08:30There's that flat foot again.
08:33Where?
08:35Over there by the orchestra.
08:40We tried to give him one little present that he wouldn't take.
08:45But we'll give him another one tonight before we leave here.
08:51Well, here you are, Louie.
08:53What's the idea?
08:54I didn't order any...
08:57Chicken and casserole.
09:03Okay.
09:04Thanks.
09:07Get on the phone, will you?
09:08Find out what's going on with that marble iron.
09:10It should have been here an hour ago.
09:12Okay.
09:16Oh, Jess.
09:19Yes?
09:24Everything all right with those?
09:26Sure.
09:28It's a nice place you got here.
09:31You like it?
09:33Yeah.
09:35And I like the floral decoration.
09:38Who's your florist, Jess?
09:42Like to hold some?
09:44Yeah.
09:46I'll tell you when I come back.
09:53Come back.
10:06It won't take me a minute to get through this call, Myrna.
10:08Sit tight.
10:09Nothing will happen.
10:10Yeah, I bet you.
10:11Yeah.
10:22Hello, Bronx.
10:24Staging a little party for the boys?
10:26Thought of a farewell party.
10:55Hey, wait a minute.
11:00I'm next.
11:01I'm waiting for this fella to get out.
11:03Oh, all right.
11:11Hey, come on, come on.
11:12I've been waiting long...
11:24Get going, Al.
11:33Set deck.
11:38Stick here.
11:44Where's Joe?
11:45Where's Al?
11:47Where's Jim?
11:49The throne will be done.
12:19Come on, Myrna.
12:41We're getting out of here.
12:53Well, how are you feeling this morning, young man?
13:13Like I could lick the world, doctor.
13:15Well, here's the thing that almost licked you.
13:19Thanks.
13:22A nice little souvenir.
13:25Well, maybe someday I'll be able to give it back to the fellow who gave it to me.
13:29Oh, I guess you're out of luck about that, Breezy.
13:32The Orange Gang took it on the run.
13:34Oh, by the way, I almost forgot.
13:38Here's a postcard that Kay offers for you.
13:40It's from Cheyenne.
13:41It's some death.
13:43What's it say?
13:45Don't you ever take a vacation.
13:48Well, I'm taking one now.
13:51You're not going to spend it here, Breezy.
13:53You're going home for that.
13:55Okay, chief.
13:56If you think the apartment can get along without me.
13:58Oh, that apartment will probably go to pieces.
14:01Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
14:02Oh, but if it does, I'll save you a piece.
14:06Say, where do you live?
14:09In a little one-horse town about 20 miles from Cheyenne.
14:13Well, when the doc says the word, that's where you're going.
14:17Well, it won't be long now.
14:38Look at that darn fool.
14:40Crazy as a loon.
14:41Crazy is right.
14:43That road's been closed for two years.
14:46If he don't stop, he's a goner.
14:47He sure is.
14:48Come on, boys.
14:49Let's try to warn him.
14:51Ho!
15:16Well, shoot me a billy.
15:46Well, where the heck did you think you was going?
15:50Home.
15:51It's the only way I know to get there.
15:52Shucks.
15:53We ain't used that road for two years.
15:55Got a new one.
15:57More horse?
15:58Know him?
15:59Ever since he had diapers on.
16:02I made him his first chaps.
16:04Taught him how to ride his first horse.
16:06Learned him how to shoot.
16:08Boys, meet your boss's son.
16:11Breezy Kildare.
16:13How are you?
16:14Glad to know you.
16:15Hello there.
16:16Glad to know you.
16:17Good day.
16:18How are you, Breezy?
16:19Glad to know you, old boy.
16:20Glad to know you.
16:21Pleased to meet you.
16:23Glad to know you.
16:26Where the heck did you think you were going, coming down that road?
16:29Home, I told you.
16:31And now if the old boat's a thing of the past, how am I going to get there?
16:34Like you did when you was a kid, a horsebag.
16:36Well, I'm ready.
16:37Where do we go from here?
16:38We're heading for town to meet up with your pa.
16:40He's attending a meeting of the new cattlemen's association.
16:43Well, give me a nanny goat and let's start.
17:07Now this ain't no country for dudes, Breezy.
17:09Saw beef!
17:23Bring a shark here, somebody.
17:30You're a top hand now, everything but the sky piece.
17:33Here's mine.
17:35Thanks.
17:36Now then, we're heading for town.
17:38We're going places and doing things.
17:40Let's get there.
17:47Well, just tell him you saw me.
17:50Follow that horse and give it to Breezy.
17:52Pronto.
17:53Here he is, Breezy.
17:54Belongs to you anyway.
17:55Thanks, Dennis.
17:59Turn him out.
18:09Hello.
18:16Say, something going wrong with my eye, Breezy Kildare with Walrus?
18:22Well, hang me a name.
18:25Hello, Breezy.
18:26Hello, Cy.
18:27Well, Danny Burns, how are you?
18:29Have you seen your dad yet, Breezy?
18:31Nope, we're looking for him now.
18:33Have you seen him?
18:34Down the street a moment ago.
18:35Maybe he's at Joe Carter's.
18:37Where they're forming that new association.
18:39What association?
18:41Oh, the Independent Cattle Breeders' Protective Benevolent Association.
18:45Some name.
18:48Yeah, and from the looks of things, it's going to be some association.
18:52Yes, it is.
18:53It's going to be the biggest thing in the country.
18:55Yes, your dad said so.
18:57How are you?
18:58Good.
19:05He's got a great dad, doesn't he?
19:07Yeah.
19:27I hear this is Martin Kildare's boy, Breezy.
19:30Joe Carter, Breezy.
19:32Joe's known since you was here.
19:34Oh, Carter and I are old friends.
19:38Yeah.
19:40We have known each other for a long time.
19:45What do you boys have?
19:46Right there.
19:49Give me a little grape juice.
19:51Make mine the same.
19:58I've got something for you guys.
20:01Look at that, boss.
20:03Oh, boy, that touches the spot.
20:06Real beer.
20:23Gucci game of pool.
20:24Sure, come on.
20:26Hey, thanks, you all.
20:28I'll pay a little 875.
20:36How long have you been selling this?
20:38I had to take in a new partner about a month ago.
20:41It was his idea.
20:45Hey.
20:47You seem surprised to see me out.
20:50No.
20:51I signed a petition to get you out.
20:53I am surprised to see you here.
20:56And back at the old racket again.
21:00I knew you were responsible for sending me out.
21:03But I didn't know that you would help to get me out.
21:07You fell into the wrong crowd, New York Carter.
21:10You weren't to blame.
21:12You took the rap for Butch Owens.
21:17I hated to see that...
21:19that little girl of yours suffer for your mistakes.
21:24She was a nice kid.
21:27She still is.
21:30You kind of liked her, didn't you?
21:32Yes.
21:34And she liked me too.
21:36Until...
21:38Until I had to testify against you.
21:41She changed her mind about you...
21:44after you sent me out.
21:54Oh, here's Ruth.
21:56Ruth?
21:57You remember Breezy Kildare, don't you?
22:00Yes, I remember Breezy Kildare all right.
22:03I ought to.
22:17Joe.
22:19You're playing with dynamite again.
22:23This stuff will never get you anywhere.
22:27She's too nice a kid to be working in this atmosphere.
22:30I couldn't throw this stuff out now if I wanted to.
22:34It's too late.
22:36It's never too late.
22:38Where is he?
22:39There he is.
22:40There he is.
22:44I feel like crying.
22:45Same here, Dad.
22:47Gosh, it's good to be home with you again.
22:50If ever a father needed a son, it's now.
22:55But Dad, I'm home on a vacation, so...
22:58I'll load your truffles.
22:59It'll take too long.
23:00Come on and get first-hand information.
23:03Because you can learn more by attending this meeting with me than I can ever tell you.
23:07Come on, Breezy.
23:20Breezy Kildare was right.
23:21This won't get you anything, except a lot of trouble.
23:26Why do you have to do what they want you to?
23:29You've got to quit.
23:30We've got to get away from here.
23:33Every cent I've got is tied up in here.
23:35I don't care.
23:37I'd rather be broke.
23:38Out of here.
23:39Away from them.
23:50When did this happen?
23:51It's happening in there now.
23:53And that's why this organization is going to be a big help to you, gents.
23:59We're here to give you protection, that's what.
24:03And now you'll hear from your president, gents.
24:06He'll tell you about the benefits to be received from this organization for the small initiation fee of one grand.
24:15Mr. B.H. Owens.
24:28Well, well.
24:29Hello, Bronx.
24:33Hiya, Flatfoot.
24:35Sorry your little operation kept me from getting here sooner.
24:38It's like I got here just in time.
24:41You're a friend of this man's?
24:42Sure, Dad.
24:45Butch is always giving me presents.
24:48This is a closed meeting, Kildare.
24:50So close the door as you go out.
24:52Now.
24:53Just a minute, Owens.
24:55This concerns my boy as much as it does me.
24:58And before we join any protective association, we want to know what for.
25:02For protection, Mr. Kildare.
25:04Maybe your son can...
25:06Well, you can't get away with that out here.
25:08Do you gents seem to think this association will do them a lot of good?
25:10Gents?
25:11So that's it, eh?
25:14Well, how's he going to get it?
25:15By dying, patching, gunning, the little kids are getting his way?
25:18How about the men they knocked off?
25:20Two to buy.
25:33Sure, they'll raise the price, but you won't get it.
25:46All right, Butch.
25:49I can wait.
25:51Come on, Dad.
25:54If that kind of an association you fellas want, you can have it.
25:57Wait a minute, Kildare.
25:58I'm going with you.
26:00Sit down, gents.
26:02You both better come back while the membership's open.
26:06There's only going to be a piece of beef in this county,
26:08and no one but members of this association are going to get it.
26:11My father was in the cattle business long before he ever heard of you, Butch.
26:14And I guess we can get along without you now.
26:16Close the door from the outside.
26:34Getting kind of careless, Butch.
26:36Getting kind of careless, Butch.
26:41Must have been bullet proof.
26:58I mean, Mr. Kildare.
27:01I never thought I could feel this way about him.
27:04He's not a copper, out here.
27:06I heard what you said up there.
27:08And I want to be on your side, if you'll let me.
27:11Now you're talking.
27:12And having just stared, I understand why your father said that he couldn't help himself.
27:17Well, I'm going to help him.
27:18And you.
27:20If you'll let me.
27:34Come on.
27:58Not here, you sap.
28:00There's another bunch of them cows down beyond the bend.
28:04I can just see them.
28:05Oh, yeah?
28:06Well, get going.
28:08The thing is to keep them guessing how everything happened.
28:11Before we're through with them, they'll be willing to pay any price for protection.
28:16Let her go.
28:30Here's where beef goes down.
28:40Let them have it.
28:41I play my best tune.
28:50Nice music, eh?
28:53Let's get out of here.
29:16They just moved down some of your best stairs.
29:31Butchone.
29:32I don't know who.
29:33They had a machine gun because I can hear it.
29:36Larry!
29:37Steve!
29:38Come here!
29:40Hurry up!
29:44What's the matter?
30:08Plenty, Dad.
30:09You better stay here and watch the herd.
30:11You come out with that.
30:12Come on.
30:19Join the association now.
30:20The books will be full in no time.
30:40In case anyone asks you, I haven't left this building today.
30:43Do you understand?
30:44Yeah, I understand.
30:48You've been here all day.
30:50And don't forget it.
30:52You may have to swear to it.
31:17Good.
31:29Tell me you didn't...
31:45In case your father forgets,
31:48you remember that we haven't left this building today.
31:52You understand?
32:11If you boys want to join my peers out there in the flat, reach for it.
32:16Line them up on the other side of the room and stare.
32:22Where's Butchone?
32:23He's...
32:24Yeah, I know.
32:25He's been there all day.
32:27Yeah.
32:31Now you fellas reach for a crowd and hang on to it.
32:50Who is it?
32:51Open that door, Willis.
32:53Remember what I tell you.
32:54You play with me and your old man will run off the rack.
32:56Do you get that straight?
32:57Last chance.
33:03Too bad these coppers forget their manners.
33:06Always bustin' in on people.
33:09Ain't got any respect even for ladies.
33:12I've got lots of respect.
33:14For a lady.
33:20But I hate rats.
33:43Give it to him.
33:44Come on, Brady.
33:45Come on, Brady.
33:49I told you you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with that cannon.
33:52You can't bluff me.
33:54Come on.
34:20Come on.
34:22Come on.
34:40Get up.
34:45Don't ever try that again.
34:49Too bad I had to break into your social activities, Butch.
34:52But you'll have 24 hours to finish them.
34:55Because I'm giving you just that long to get out of town.
34:58Your what?
34:59This Cheyenne country isn't big enough to hold you and me.
35:02I'm staying.
35:05If you stay, you're on the spot.
35:33He certainly fixed things for me.
35:35Yes, and for your old man, too, if you double-cross me and play along with that copper.
35:42And right now, he thinks you belong to me.
35:50Put it away, Lola.
35:52All right, you can pick him up.
36:07Maybe you don't believe it, Kildare, but I want to thank you.
36:10Because you did what I haven't got the nerve to do.
36:21That's all right.
36:25Breezy!
36:28Breezy, you don't think that Butch Owens and I are...
36:31What else would you want me to think?
36:34Sure.
36:35Your is.
36:59You handed me a wallet when I saw you upstairs with Butch.
37:04This last one sure knocked some daylight into me.
37:08It made me...
37:10Made me realize that...
37:13That you're okay.
37:15Forgive me, please.
37:20Let's forget we're out west.
37:22Let's picture back home in New York again.
37:26What do you say?
37:29You mean, like it used to be?
37:32Before you became a copper?
37:34And Dad went away?
37:36You said it.
37:40Then you don't think that Butch and I are...
37:42Don't say it.
37:47Excuse me, but...
37:50Hey, why don't you knock before you enter?
38:20Hey, Joe!
38:33Set up another round.
38:36And make it snappy.
38:37The boss is sore.
38:44Here you are, honey. Take it up.
38:51Well, what's the next move?
38:53What are we gonna do now?
38:55Well, what do you think?
38:57We're gonna take Kildare for a ride.
39:00A nice, long ride.
39:03Gonna put me on the spot.
39:06Well, by this time tomorrow, there'll be plenty of weeping around here.
39:11You can put your order in for flowers right now.
39:15What?
39:16Go 20 miles to Cheyenne for flowers?
39:19Oh, forget it, you sap.
39:21Where's the typewriter?
39:23Oh, I left it downstairs.
39:25Well, get it as we go out.
39:26Come on.
39:30Butch is going after Breezy.
39:31What?
39:32They're going to take him for a ride.
39:33They'll do it.
39:34No, they won't.
39:35I'll tip them off with the last thing I ever do.
39:40Operator!
39:43Operator!
39:44Would you answer?
39:49Now, you stay here and keep your mouth shut.
39:51If you don't, we'll fix him up when we come back.
39:56Get your typewriter, sap.
40:03Come on.
40:07Oh, please.
40:15Butch did it, Dad.
40:16They said if we opened our mouths, they'd come back and get you.
40:20Oh, they did it, eh?
40:22Well, they'll only get me once.
40:27Operator?
40:33They don't answer?
40:34Oh, they must.
40:35There must be someone there.
40:36Let me have it.
40:38Operator, please, please try again.
40:46There's no use.
40:48They don't answer.
40:50Maybe I could be Butch there.
40:52Not a chance.
40:53You'd have to pass along the road to do that.
40:55I won't use the road the way I go.
41:25Yeah.
41:26They left in an automobile, headed for Kildare's Ranch.
41:29You gotta move fast.
41:30All right.
41:31I'll call some of the boys.
41:33You phone Pearson and Thomas.
41:34Know their numbers?
41:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know them.
41:37Okay.
41:42Operator!
41:43Operator!
41:44Let me have 294.
41:45Hurry it up, will you?
41:54I'm not worried about a few steers being shot, Breezy.
41:57I've been working all afternoon.
41:59You may have been at work, Dad,
42:01but when you're playing with Butch Owens, you've got to work fast.
42:04I've got every cattleman in this country rounded up to go after Owens.
42:08You may have everything set to wipe gangland out of the West,
42:12but it's easier said than done.
42:15Well?
42:45Wally, quick, get the boys.
42:47Butch and his mob are going to take Breezy for a ride.
42:49Well, they're a darn fool.
42:51What, he want to take a ride with that gang of crooks first?
42:53You don't understand.
42:54He won't come back.
42:55Who him?
42:56What?
42:58But just the same, Breezy.
43:00I tell you, I don't like it.
43:02I tell you, I don't like it.
43:04Everything's going to be all right, Dad.
43:17Step down.
43:18What?
43:19Give it to him.
43:32That was a close one.
43:35It's all right, Dad.
43:37They've gone.
43:40Dad.
43:41Dad.
43:46I'll pull out of it, all right?
43:49Sure.
43:50Sure you will, Dad.
44:01Phone for Dr. Ruth.
44:02And don't leave until I get back.
44:04Wally, you come on with me.
44:28Carter got us worried to get here quick.
44:30The Owens mob just left here.
44:32They got my dad.
44:33What?
44:35You men follow the road.
44:36We're going to take the shortcut and head them off the rock.
44:38Right.
44:39Come on, Ed.
44:41Let's go.
44:55Let's go.
45:15Let's go.
45:44Get up on those rocks.
45:55It'll take dynamite to get us out of there.
46:11Whoa.
46:28They're riding right into their range.
46:31Give me your rope.
46:51Now let them come.
47:20Give it to them.
47:22Not yet.
47:23They're not close enough.
47:28Wait till I get them right at the end of the barrel.
47:31It won't be long now.
48:02Let's go.
48:16Come on.
48:36Come on.
49:05Come on.
49:26So you're tough, eh?
49:27You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
49:29Well, you're in a country now where you've got to take it.
49:32Here's a little since you gave to me.
49:36Don't I get a break?
49:37You bet you don't.
49:38There's no lawyers here to pull a habeas corpus, but there's a gang here that'll pull a rope.
49:42Get up.
49:54Give me a break.
49:55Sure, we'll give you a break.
49:57We'll give you a rope and a tree that ain't ever been used before.
50:26Still yellow, Butch.
50:42You couldn't take it.
51:00Cheyenne to New York.
51:01Yep.
51:02Back to the big town.
51:05Now the dab's well again.
51:07There's nothing to keep me here.
51:09I wish it read the other way.
51:20You mean Broadway to Cheyenne?
51:23Uh-huh.
51:25Shucks.
51:26There's no sense in my going then.
51:28Alone.
51:29Uh-uh.
