00:02:39Hey Johnny, Don't go out in the dark and get shot.
00:02:42I'll gain some faith and get it.
00:02:45He's a reason to worry about.
00:02:47Don't tell him anything, and let him do what he thinks is right.
00:02:50I suppose that's what you mean.
00:02:52Look, I'm as hungry as ever for knowledge and a voice.
00:02:56But we have to make command of our state to mching out of this uniting movement and trust our curiosity.
00:03:01That changes moving forward, too.
00:03:06Dave.
00:03:07depend upon your measly claim, they'd go out of business.
00:03:10Take your dog with you, will you?
00:03:12Get out of here.
00:03:24Don't suppose anything in that sack for me, do you?
00:03:26About time I was getting some more mining lit here.
00:03:29There's a letter for you.
00:03:30It's been laying around here for a couple of weeks.
00:03:32Why didn't you say so?
00:03:33Why didn't you ask me?
00:03:37I can't make out the writing.
00:03:40You mean you can't read it?
00:03:42Are you insinuating I'm not educated?
00:03:44Educated by you don't know what the three R's mean.
00:03:46Roping, riding, and raising a rocket.
00:03:49Pretty good at the last.
00:03:51Give it here.
00:03:55Why, it's signed Hoppy.
00:03:56Hoppy?
00:03:57Why, that's Hopalong Cassidy.
00:04:00Don't tell me he's a friend of yours.
00:04:02Why, back on the Bar 20 in the old days,
00:04:04Hoppy used to depend on me for everything.
00:04:07Probably while the old days ended.
00:04:10What's it say?
00:04:11Says he's coming up this way and plans
00:04:13to stay over several days.
00:04:16Just my luck, him coming when my grubs run low.
00:04:21Oh, no, you don't.
00:04:24Now, lucky you, Matilde.
00:04:28I can't let Hoppy know things ain't panning out right.
00:04:32You just got the grub statement.
00:04:34You're already on the books for more than your claim is worth.
00:04:37There's gold in that claim.
00:04:39And I know just about where it lays.
00:04:42And I'm going to get it.
00:04:43If you'd spend more time prospecting and less time
00:04:46cutting those fake notches in that gun of yours,
00:04:47you might amount to something.
00:04:49I'll tell you what I'll do, speedy.
00:04:51I'll grub stake you just one more time,
00:04:54providing you don't fight any more.
00:04:57Matilde, I'll promise anything.
00:05:04Come on, Hoppy.
00:05:34Well, he's not very big, but he can sure travel, can't he?
00:05:57He sure can.
00:05:58We better take him back and see if we can
00:06:00find out who he belongs to.
00:06:02Come on, son.
00:06:04Hey, maybe that's our answer.
00:06:34Is it empty?
00:06:47Is it...
00:06:50You know, sometimes I wonder about you.
00:06:57I want to thank you for bringing back my horse.
00:07:05Oh, no trouble at all, ma'am.
00:07:06I...
00:07:07Um, is this yours, too?
00:07:10It was, till somebody took it off the stage.
00:07:13That's why I stopped to look around.
00:07:15Did you find anything?
00:07:16The usual thing, a lot of tracks, a few empty cartridges,
00:07:19and that's all.
00:07:21If you don't mind, I'll be getting on to town.
00:07:23Well, maybe we could help you.
00:07:25Why should you?
00:07:26I don't even know you.
00:07:27Oh, I'm Lucky Jenkins,
00:07:29and this is Hop Long Cassie to the bar 20.
00:07:31How do you do?
00:07:33I'm Jean Colby.
00:07:34My father runs a Golden Creek mine.
00:07:37Did you say Colby?
00:07:38Yes.
00:07:39I've heard your friend Speedy talk about you.
00:07:42Yes, we're going to meet Speedy in town.
00:07:44You mind if we ride in with you?
00:07:46Not at all.
00:07:48That's a swell idea.
00:08:19I know it looks bad, Ackerman.
00:08:22It's always my gold that's stolen.
00:08:24It's strange.
00:08:26Nothing ever happens to the gold shipped by these other mines.
00:08:29They're proving good investments to me.
00:08:31Yours isn't.
00:08:32I'm doing everything I can.
00:08:33It's no fault of mine if the sheriff can't stop these holdups.
00:08:35Colby, I never would have leased that mine to you
00:08:37if I'd known more about you.
00:08:39Are you trying to say that I have something to do with these robberies?
00:08:41You don't suppose I'd cheat my own partner, do you?
00:08:43I'm not accusing anyone.
00:08:46But these robberies have got to stop.
00:08:49They're going to stop.
00:09:02What's on your mind, Colby?
00:09:03You know what's on my mind.
00:09:04Why aren't you out with the posse?
00:09:05I didn't think it'd do any good.
00:09:07It's the same story every time.
00:09:08The trail just leads nowhere.
00:09:09You call yourself a sheriff.
00:09:10You haven't been arrested.
00:09:11You've been in office.
00:09:12Cage being held up.
00:09:13Massacre.
00:09:14Nothing being done about it.
00:09:15Listen to that old horse thief blow off steam.
00:09:18That's my father.
00:09:21Now you listen to me, Cameron.
00:09:22You get a posse together and be quick about it.
00:09:24That's the only way you'll ever stop those outlaws.
00:09:28Outlaws, huh?
00:09:29Well, he ought to know.
00:09:32He's had enough posses on his trail this time.
00:09:36Jane.
00:09:39Who are the two strangers?
00:09:41Let me tell you.
00:09:42Who are the two strangers?
00:09:43Well, they're not exactly strangers, Dad.
00:09:45This is Mr. Jenkins, otherwise known as Lucky.
00:09:47Howdy.
00:09:49And this is Mr. Cassidy.
00:09:51Otherwise known as Hopalong.
00:09:53Yeah.
00:09:55And you're, uh, Ed, Colby.
00:09:58Oh, you two know each other.
00:10:01By reputation only.
00:10:03Hoppy!
00:10:07Speedy!
00:10:09Hoppy, you old maverick.
00:10:11Oh, old timer, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:10:14Hiya, Speedy.
00:10:16Why'd you bring this hungry cub for?
00:10:18Well, because I lost my appetite.
00:10:20But after that ride, I'm twice as hungry as I ever was.
00:10:22Hey, Joe! Bill! Fred!
00:10:26What's going on here?
00:10:33Now, I'm riding out, and I want volunteers for a posse.
00:10:36Who's going?
00:10:37All of it?
00:10:38What do you say, Hoppy? Let's go with him.
00:10:41Showing off in front of a young lady wouldn't be your reason for wanting to go, would it?
00:10:44Well, that's got nothing to do with it.
00:10:46But you did hear what I said about her father.
00:10:48I ought to square myself some way.
00:10:50Oh, sure.
00:10:51I got a half a mind to go with that posse myself.
00:10:56Good.
00:10:57Get your horse. We'll all go.
00:11:01Good luck, Dad.
00:11:08Speedy!
00:11:09Remember your rub steak.
00:11:11But there's a posse riding.
00:11:13You go to fighting, and there'll be no supplies.
00:11:15Coming, Speedy?
00:11:17No, he's not coming.
00:11:19I changed my mind.
00:11:21I got a deal on here in town, a clean forgotten.
00:11:32We found the empty express box, Sheriff.
00:11:34We'd be glad to show you where it is.
00:11:36All right, fellas, let's go.
00:11:45Get away from here!
00:11:47Get away!
00:12:03There's the box, Sheriff.
00:12:05There's the box, Sheriff.
00:12:09Wait a minute.
00:12:11The tracks go this way.
00:12:34Come on.
00:12:57Looks like the end of our trail.
00:13:00We've driven a herd of cattle across the tracks.
00:13:02Well, Colby, what did I tell you?
00:13:03I expected something like this.
00:13:05We'll never be able to find out where they've scattered, that's certain.
00:13:08Oh, come on, let's look up and down the river.
00:13:11Come on.
00:13:20I've seen them cover tracks like that before.
00:13:24It's an old outlaw trick.
00:13:32Let's go.
00:13:43Seems like old times.
00:13:45Sure am glad to have you here, Hoppy.
00:13:48We're sure glad to be here, Speedy.
00:13:51You know, there's something about this part of the country I sure like.
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:56You noticed it when we found the owner of that runaway horse, didn't you?
00:14:00Now, that had nothing to do with it, and you know it, Hoppy.
00:14:04Came and stay long?
00:14:06Well, uh...
00:14:07It's tough to find out what we came after.
00:14:10If I ain't too questioned, just what did bring you here?
00:14:15Well, so long as he started, I might as well finish it.
00:14:18These holdups are getting a little too frequent around here,
00:14:20and the express company wants to know who's responsible for them.
00:14:24So they sent you up to investigate?
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:28But it might be better if folks thought we'd just come to pay a visit to you.
00:14:32Get it?
00:14:34Oh, you can depend on me, Hoppy.
00:14:36I never was one to talk much.
00:14:39Oh, no.
00:14:40Well, you're sure doing your share now.
00:14:42When's supper gonna be ready, anyhow?
00:14:44Suppose you have.
00:14:46That's a good idea. Come on.
00:14:49Stir up the meat there a little.
00:14:54Boy, that was a mighty fine meal, Speedy.
00:14:57We can sure cook, can't we?
00:14:59Well, it ought to be good grub,
00:15:01considering the price I had to pay for it.
00:15:04Say, Speedy, when did you learn how to make pickled peaches?
00:15:07Now, that's a long story.
00:15:09Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
00:15:12Somebody's coming.
00:15:19Well, hello, Jane.
00:15:20Jane?
00:15:25Hello.
00:15:27Out kind of late, ain't you?
00:15:29It's right sourceable of you to come calling on us like this.
00:15:32I'm afraid it's more business than social.
00:15:35I came to see Mr. Cassidy.
00:15:37Was anything wrong?
00:15:39No, not yet.
00:15:40But something is going to happen to us on our mind if these robberies aren't stopped.
00:15:44Well, Hoppy's the one who can stop them.
00:15:47That's why I'm here, Mr. Cassidy.
00:15:48We need a foreman at the mine. Will you take the job?
00:15:51Say, that's a grand idea, Hoppy.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:56But whose idea is it?
00:15:58Mine.
00:16:01I'm sorry, Miss Colby,
00:16:03but I'm afraid I can't.
00:16:05Why not?
00:16:07Well, it's just that...
00:16:10I don't want to get mixed up in your father's business.
00:16:14Are you against him, too?
00:16:16It's not exactly that, but I...
00:16:19What are you talking about?
00:16:23What is she talking about, Hoppy?
00:16:26Well, it's just something that everybody doesn't need to know about.
00:16:29We're not asking you to hide anything for us.
00:16:32Everyone else knows it. You might as well know it, too.
00:16:35You see, my father...
00:16:37Well, he made a mistake once.
00:16:42All right, then he made more than one mistake.
00:16:44He was an outlaw.
00:16:46But he isn't any longer, and he's...
00:16:47He's sorry for the things he did in the past,
00:16:49and he's trying to live them down.
00:16:51Then he deserves help, and we're going to give it to him.
00:16:53Aren't we, Hoppy?
00:16:54Take it easy, will you?
00:16:58It's all right, Lucky.
00:17:01I'm sorry I bothered Mr. Cassidy.
00:17:04Please forget I ever came to see you.
00:17:15Well, I never thought you'd refuse to help a man go straight.
00:17:18How do you know Colby's going straight, you young squirt?
00:17:22Probably because he has such a pretty daughter.
00:17:25Now, that's got nothing to do with it, and you know it, Hoppy.
00:17:28Where are you going?
00:17:29To see that the pretty daughter gets home safely.
00:17:32Well, I think I'll go, too.
00:17:34I didn't expect that... much.
00:17:44Let's go.
00:18:15She sure thinks we're poison.
00:18:17Oh, no. Just me.
00:18:20Well, maybe you know what you're doing, Hoppy, but I think, baby...
00:18:22Oh, tell her about it.
00:18:24I'll tag along behind.
00:18:38I'm sorry about what happened, Miss Jane.
00:18:40I shouldn't have lost my temper.
00:18:42But if you knew how hard Father's trying...
00:18:43Now, you stop your worrying. I'm sure everything's going to be all right.
00:18:47Say, that was a shot!
00:18:49Hoppy!
00:18:51Did you hear that?
00:18:52Yeah. Sounded like it come from up around the mine.
00:18:55Something's wrong. I know it.
00:19:08Dad! What happened?
00:19:09Hello, darling.
00:19:11I was here working on the books. I must have dozed off.
00:19:14Somebody shot me.
00:19:15With your own gun, Colby?
00:19:17Yeah. I reached for it, but he beat me to it.
00:19:19Who? Did you see the man?
00:19:21No, I didn't. I was pretty drunk. I didn't see very clearly.
00:19:25How convenient.
00:19:27What do you mean by that?
00:19:29This isn't the first time a man has tried to get himself out of a tight spot.
00:19:33Just a minute.
00:19:37Get some water and bandages, will you?
00:19:39Take it easy, Colby.
00:19:40Who are you?
00:19:42Hopalong Cassidy, that's who.
00:19:44Oh, well. I'm Ackerman, Colby's partner.
00:19:47Right into town to get a doctor.
00:19:49Right away. This is Hendricks, foreman of another mine I own.
00:19:52Howdy. You better all clear out of here. This man's in pretty bad shape.
00:20:10How is he?
00:20:11Oh, he's much better.
00:20:12Doctor says he's got a 50-50 chance of pulling through.
00:20:15I'm mighty sorry this had to happen, Miss Colby.
00:20:17You're wrong, you know. My father wouldn't try to kill himself.
00:20:20Well, we won't go into that.
00:20:22The thing is, with your father out of commission this way, you and I will have to run the mine.
00:20:26I haven't much time, but...
00:20:28I can run it.
00:20:30Well, that's fine, Jane.
00:20:32Luckily, I've got just the man to help you.
00:20:35Hendricks here says there's no reason why this mine shouldn't pay.
00:20:39And he's willing to take charge.
00:20:41I won't need him.
00:20:43Well, I want to be friendly.
00:20:45But I must insist upon someone who will protect my interests.
00:20:48Your interests are the same as mine.
00:20:50Miss Colby, your father and his outlaws have been stealing the gold ships.
00:20:55That's not true.
00:20:57Hendricks will stay on here as foreman.
00:20:59I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ackerman.
00:21:01But I signed on as foreman.
00:21:03When?
00:21:05Last night.
00:21:06Of course, if you have any objections...
00:21:09No, of course not. That's fine.
00:21:12Nothing to worry about now, Miss Jane.
00:21:14We'll all feel much easier now that you're working for us, Mr. Cassidy.
00:21:18Well, come on, Hendricks.
00:21:20I guess we won't need you here after all.
00:21:24Thank you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:21:28Oh, forget it.
00:21:30You better get some sleep and don't worry about a thing.
00:21:32I won't.
00:21:37Say, what made you decide to stay on here as foreman?
00:21:40It wasn't very much.
00:21:42Just a button off of Hendricks' coat.
00:21:45Yeah? Where'd you find it?
00:21:47On the floor in the mine office.
00:21:49Well, maybe he dropped it last night when he was there with Ackerman.
00:21:53Yeah. Maybe Colby isn't lying.
00:21:56Maybe he did have a struggle with somebody.
00:21:59And tore this off.
00:22:03You mean...
00:22:07Why don't you stay for supper?
00:22:09Can't run the risk of having my claim jumped, Hoppy.
00:22:12Who'd jump that pile of sand?
00:22:14Say, there's enough gold in them there diggings to buy this dump out 50 times.
00:22:19Well, don't spend it all before you get it dug up.
00:22:22I won't.
00:22:24That's right, Speedy. Always look out for yourself.
00:22:26Sure. And if you run up against any technical mining problems, just send for me, Hoppy.
00:22:32We sure will.
00:22:33Good night, Speedy.
00:22:35Good night.
00:22:39There's no point in locking up, Hoppy.
00:22:41Why not?
00:22:43We've been here a week, and Colby's been in bed all the time, and nothing happens.
00:22:47Say, you don't really think he's playing a long hand in all them holdups, do you?
00:22:51Why, sure. If he wasn't, why doesn't something happen?
00:23:04What's the matter?
00:23:06You've got no business out in this night air.
00:23:09I'm all right. What happened?
00:23:11Somebody took a shot at us from back here.
00:23:18Whoever fired that shot had better stick to mining.
00:23:21Or learn to shoot.
00:23:23I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:25I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:27I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:30Whoever fired that shot had better stick to mining.
00:23:32Or learn to shoot.
00:23:39It's funny how Colby just happened to be around.
00:23:43Yeah.
00:23:55Mr. Cassidy.
00:23:57The output has fallen off badly these last few days.
00:24:00Yes, I know it has.
00:24:02Somebody's getting the gold out of that mine, and I can't figure out who it is.
00:24:06I don't see how they could do it.
00:24:08I don't either.
00:24:10I've checked everything that's come out of there, and I'm still not satisfied.
00:24:14How's your father today?
00:24:16Oh, much better. I have to threaten terrible things to keep him in bed.
00:24:19I guess you can handle him all right.
00:24:22I'd better get back in that mine.
00:24:30All right.
00:25:01How are you, Mr. Cassidy?
00:25:03Hi, Jim.
00:25:05Everything all right?
00:25:07Everything's going fine.
00:25:30What happened?
00:25:56Get that timber off of me!
00:25:58Come on, come on, boys, get in here.
00:26:01Come on.
00:26:12Give me your light.
00:26:14There it is.
00:26:16Are you all right, Cassidy?
00:26:18Yeah, I'm all right.
00:26:20Get this mess cleaned up and get some new timber under there.
00:26:22Come on, boys, let's get started on this.
00:26:30Come on.
00:27:01What a tough guy you turned out to be.
00:27:04Couldn't even take care of a meddlesome cowboy.
00:27:07Do it yourself if you think it's so easy.
00:27:09But you gotta get Cassidy away from that mine so we can sneak the gold out.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:14We'll work it through that crazy friend of his.
00:27:16Speedy.
00:27:30Come on.
00:28:00Come on.
00:28:31Hold it!
00:28:32Get him up!
00:28:39All right, boys, break her up.
00:28:46Here's my gold.
00:28:48I guess I done too much talking about my gold.
00:28:51Ain't no use you looking.
00:28:53Honest, I ain't found it yet.
00:29:01I'm getting tired.
00:29:03Turn around and shut up.
00:29:31Come on.
00:29:55How much longer are you gonna keep me standing like this?
00:30:00I can't stand it no longer go ahead and shoot
00:30:20Well now if that ain't something fooled by one of my own tricks
00:30:26Come on back here and fight 200 critters
00:30:41Well now tell it don't go getting mad been fighting again
00:30:46No, I don't contradict me. My eyes don't lie
00:30:49And if this is what you do with supplies, you'll pay cash for them the next time
00:30:53I've got to take too long enough
00:30:55No doubt. This is your friend Cassidy who's supposed to have such a good influence on you
00:31:01Not in your backtalk I've seen enough
00:31:04Hey, you're forgetting your dog
00:31:06Since you can't take care of yourself. I'm leaving buttercup to protect you
00:31:09Oh, no, you ain't take this old dog with you. I won't have it. Do you hear?
00:31:14Yeah
00:31:16Come back here and get him
00:31:18Come back here. You hear me?
00:31:21Hey sweetie
00:31:25Got any idea who left this calling card?
00:31:27What's it say?
00:31:29Says you're a spotter
00:31:31Where does it say that?
00:31:32Right there
00:31:34It does?
00:31:36I'd like to lay my hands on a critter who dares to call me a squatter
00:31:41So would I
00:31:42Bring your bloodhound. We'll see if we can track him down
00:32:21I
00:32:51I
00:33:22What mine is this?
00:33:24That's the one Hendricks manages for Ackerman
00:33:28By the looks of things, it hasn't been worked in years
00:33:30According to Hendricks, there's a lot of gold shipped out of here
00:33:34Shut up, you blasted mutt
00:33:36Nice dog
00:33:52What are you thinking about?
00:33:55I'm just wondering of a coat button
00:33:57This abandoned mine and wrecking your camp didn't add up to Hendricks
00:34:01Well, he ain't my enemy, Hoppy
00:34:03Even if he was
00:34:05With a friend like you to help me
00:34:07That's it
00:34:09I'm going back to my camp
00:34:11I'm going back to my camp
00:34:13I'm going back to my camp
00:34:15I'm going back to my camp
00:34:17I'm going back to my camp
00:34:19That's it
00:34:21He knew I'd drop anything I was doing if he wasn't a gem
00:34:25Wrecking your camp was just a decoy
00:34:28See, I left lucky at that mine
00:34:30Now Betty's needing help. Come on
00:34:43Say, that's a pretty big job for a girl like you
00:34:46Here, let me do it
00:34:50Well, Mr. Know-it-all, I hope you're satisfied
00:34:53You shouldn't be here anyway
00:34:55You should be checking those men out of the mine
00:34:57Yeah, I guess I'd better
00:35:19Come on
00:35:49Come on
00:36:19Come on
00:36:49Come on
00:37:09What are you doing here? What happened?
00:37:11One of those miners got away with some of that gold we've been missing
00:37:14That's why they wanted to get me out of the way
00:37:16Did you recognize him?
00:37:18I plugged one of them, Sanford. The other one got away
00:37:20Hoppy, we've got to find out who he is and where he's hiding that gold
00:37:23Whoever he is, he's working for Hendricks
00:37:25And we'll probably find the gold hidden in Hendricks' old mine
00:37:27Well, let's go up and get it
00:37:29Yeah, but the question is, who's Hendricks working for?
00:37:31Ackerman
00:37:33For a sake, could it be Colby?
00:37:35The only way we'll find out is by tricking him
00:37:38We could just keep things rolling
00:37:40Get another shipment out on that stage
00:37:42Yeah, but what are we going to use for gold?
00:37:44Yeah
00:37:46Hey, Speedy, why don't you lend Hoppy some of those gold nuggets you've been bragging about?
00:37:50How about it, Speedy?
00:37:52Oh, I'm just a bragging old fool, Hoppy
00:37:55I'd give you the fillings out of my teeth
00:37:58But there ain't no more gold in them, and I've dug out them a claim
00:38:01All right, thanks just the same, Speedy
00:38:03I always figured you was lying
00:38:05Come on, Lucky, let's get on to mine
00:38:07Oh, there's gold there, all right, I just ain't found it yet
00:38:10Come on, Buttercup
00:38:17Drop that, you pesky critter!
00:38:19That's my supper
00:38:21Drop it!
00:38:23You ain't bearing that
00:38:25Get away from that
00:38:33Buttercup!
00:38:35We found it!
00:38:37We struck pay dirt!
00:38:39Buttercup!
00:38:47Oh, Buttercup
00:38:49Oh, Buttercup
00:38:52You're getting the best chicken in the world
00:38:55Oh, Buttercup
00:38:58Oh, Buttercup
00:39:02I said I'd show you
00:39:04I never seen so much gold in all my mining days
00:39:08Speedy, I take back everything I ever said about you
00:39:11Say, can I borrow this?
00:39:13What do you think I brung it here for?
00:39:15Oh, thanks, Speedy
00:39:17I'll get it back, Warner
00:39:18What do you care? There's plenty more where that came from, isn't there?
00:39:21Who's supposed to do the exaggerating around here, you or me?
00:39:25You'll get it back, all right
00:39:27We hope
00:39:32Say, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but my boys are asking for their back pay
00:39:37Well, they shouldn't have bothered you about it
00:39:39Well, they're still my boys, and they know I worry about them sick or well
00:39:43We were just talking about it
00:39:45Well, we got to do more than talk
00:39:47We're going to. We're going to pay them
00:39:50We're going to borrow enough gold from Speedy here to make our next week's shipment
00:39:53Well, that's great
00:39:55Well, boys, I guess it'll go through all right if Cassidy rides shotgun
00:39:59I think that stage can get through all right with a regular messenger
00:40:03If we're going to have any trouble, we'll be right here at the mine
00:40:05We'll see to it there ain't any trouble
00:40:07Fine
00:40:08Come on, boys. I guess that'll take care of it
00:40:11You ain't serious about not riding shotgun yourself?
00:40:14Oh, quit worrying about it
00:40:16With your gold to make up the shipment, we got a fair chance of catching up with them outlaws
00:40:19I hope you know what you're doing
00:40:22Poppy?
00:40:40Yeah?
00:40:43You sent for Logan?
00:40:45Oh, yeah. I've been expecting him
00:40:49Hello, Cassidy
00:40:51Hi, Logan
00:40:53Oh, Lucky
00:40:55Hi, Sheriff
00:40:57Hello, Cassidy
00:40:59Well, Logan, it looks like you and your boys got here just about on time
00:41:02What's all the mystery?
00:41:04There's no mystery, Sheriff
00:41:06Express Company sent Logan and some pick men down here
00:41:09We're going to see if we can't trap these outlaws
00:41:11Well, I'm willing to do all I can to help
00:41:13That's fine
00:41:15I want you and the boys to be ready in town
00:41:18If they try to hold up that stagecoach again, they're going to run into a little trouble
00:41:22You don't expect to take them red-handed, do you?
00:41:24Well, we're going to try
00:41:27I think I know where they're hiding that gold. We'll need you there to make the arrest
00:41:30Well, Caffley, I hope you have more luck than I've had
00:41:33Now you better get back into town
00:41:36All right
00:41:38Take care of that
00:41:41Seems like Cassidy would be too smart to let his gold go through unguarded
00:41:46That'd be Fleming's made a mistake, Mr. Hendricks
00:41:48Remember, Cassidy is riding shotgun on that stage
00:41:50Yeah, and maybe you're Yeller
00:41:52Shotgun or no shotgun, we got orders to ride
00:41:56I'm not saying the plan won't work
00:41:59All I'm saying is I sure wish it weren't my gold
00:42:03I told you not to worry. We're only using this gold as bait
00:42:07I've heard of grizzlies taking bait right out of a tree
00:42:10I've heard of them
00:42:12I've heard of them
00:42:14I've heard of them
00:42:16I've heard of them
00:42:18I've heard of them
00:42:20I've heard of them
00:42:22I've heard of them
00:42:24I've heard of them
00:42:26They're taking bait right out of a trap
00:42:28Stage is here
00:42:30All right
00:42:32And both of you keep your eyes open
00:42:34Anybody leaves here, trail them
00:42:48What's the matter? Are you expecting trouble?
00:42:50Maybe and maybe not
00:42:52is. Just
00:43:06a minute bill I'm taking over this trip oh all right.
00:43:23Good luck happy. Thanks.
00:43:27Right.
00:43:48That's our man put it away we'll try to.
00:43:51Help you get to all right. I wonder.
00:44:04If you get me a drink of water.
00:45:21I'm.
00:45:49Sure.
00:46:08All right boys get.
00:46:19To. Never
00:46:31mind turning around just throw that box down.
00:46:34I'll get.
00:47:04Cassidy
00:47:18sure had me fooled I tried to get here to warn you but warn us. Say he was
00:47:23a lot easier than the rest of them Cassidy knew better than to put up
00:47:26a fight I threw that box down without even trying to do anything about it. You hear
00:47:32what he said I forgive my goal without
00:47:34a struggle must be something wrong we'll get Colby's men right on the Hendricks
00:47:39one.
00:47:57Who are the strangers sheriff I don't know Mr Ackman but they're sent here by
00:48:01the express company. Sounds as if you're all set to catch the outlaws
00:48:05confidential Cassidy's figure not let them take the gold off that stays
00:48:09a day. Then we're going to spring
00:48:11a little trap good work sure I got to get them organized now.
00:48:32I think we ought to take Ackerman with us maybe he ought to know what's going on
00:48:41too. We sure had everyone get their eyes nearly popped out of their heads when
00:48:49they seen them express my life and that's all.
00:48:55Well it's like Ackerman left here in a hurry. Things are really coming to a
00:49:00showdown Sheriff better get your posse.
00:49:09Come on you fellows I want to swear you in.
00:49:30Let's go.
00:49:45Can't let them get away. Cassidy's taken one rope we'll take the other.
00:50:01The sheriff. What's wrong?
00:50:07Did you get that Colby shipment? Sure it's hidden with the rest of the high grade.
00:50:10Why you fool that's just what Cassidy wanted. Why what's happened? He's leading
00:50:14his men up here now we got to get that gold out of here get the mules.
00:50:30So
00:52:31So
00:52:46They're coming get your horses. What about the gold? Forget it we'll be lucky if we stay behind.
00:53:00Get him up Ackerman. I finally caught up with you. Wait a minute I admit I double crossed you
00:53:17and I got Hendricks to plug you but I'll make a deal with you now a fair deal. I was crooked
00:53:22once but I'm on the level now and you're going to tell the world I am. Now get walking.
00:53:27Come on.
00:53:58Reminds me of the time I massacred Geronimo and some of his patches. I had 11 bullets and killed 12 men.
00:54:10Sure one bullet went through two men.
00:54:28So
00:54:32So
00:54:56Steady.
00:55:02Come on.
00:55:32So
00:56:02So
00:56:08All right boys get him out of here.
00:56:33So
00:56:36So
00:56:57I thought we'd find Ackerman around here. Yeah there he is Hoppy.
00:57:06Wait a minute that's Colby.
00:57:15What are you doing here? I'm chasing a skunk Hoppy. Ackerman's inside and I'm going in and get him.
00:57:21Ackerman? You better take it easy. I'll get him it's the last thing I do. It's my ride. Take care of him boys.
00:57:36Come out of there Ackerman or I'm coming in after you.
00:58:06So
00:58:10So
00:58:12So
00:58:14So
00:58:35Thanks Hoppy. All right Sheriff he's all yours ring him out.
00:58:43Now let's get home.
00:58:47And put that knife away.
00:59:01Beats all you're selling out to some mining syndicate. Just when we were getting acquainted.
00:59:07Ah enough excitement and gold mining to suit me. Things are going to be awful quiet around here without you.
00:59:14Well now that everything is all right it's been a lot of fun. Thanks Cassidy.
00:59:20I want to thank you too Hoppy. Hey what's going on here? I'm leaving too.
00:59:25Come on. Matilde there's something I want to say to you. Yes sweetie. I don't know how you're going to take what I'm going to say.
00:59:41Well say it and see. Sure you won't get mad and think me over a bowl. Oh please say it sweetie.
00:59:48Well Tildy do you think you can find it in your heart to give me Buttercup for keeps.
00:59:58What? How Buttercup you.
01:00:01Come back here Buttercup.
01:00:05Buttercup.
