00:02:24Come on, baby.
00:02:56That gal can dance.
00:02:58She's pretty good.
00:03:00I suppose you could do better.
00:03:02Say, I wasn't bad at anything when I was a yearling.
00:03:08Can you remember that far back?
00:03:10Yes, sir, I can remember.
00:03:12Say, are you trying to insinuate that I'm old?
00:03:15Of course you're not old.
00:03:17You just let your joints creak so people think you're playing castanets.
00:03:22That's old.
00:03:23I can take care of young mavericks like you anytime you need it.
00:03:28Well, hello, Miss Adriani.
00:03:32But I'm not you, Senor Windy.
00:03:35I ain't seen you for a coon's day.
00:03:37I swear you're getting prettier every day.
00:03:40You know, I was sitting here watching you dance.
00:03:43No!
00:03:47No, all right.
00:03:49Miss Adriani, this here is Johnny Nelson.
00:03:52He's all right.
00:03:53Keep tight rein on him.
00:03:55Uh, usted are a mucho pretty senorita, senorita.
00:04:01What's the matter, Ranger?
00:04:03Don't you speak English?
00:04:06Will you take me to get a glass of wine, Senor Windy?
00:04:08Will I?
00:04:09You're dead tootin'.
00:04:12Uh, one side, Ranger.
00:04:20A toast to the gentleman from across the border, Senor.
00:04:26To you and to your country, my American friends.
00:04:31And here's to you and your country, Colonel Gonzales.
00:04:36May it ever be so.
00:04:42He looks like a nice boy, Miss Johnny.
00:04:45That's it, he's one of the best.
00:04:47Well, why shouldn't he be?
00:04:49I practically raised him by hand.
00:04:52Espero habrá pasado un tiempo muy contento,
00:04:54tanta señorita bonita, el baile, ¿no?
00:05:00SÃ, quiere decir que si le gustan las muchachas,
00:05:03la comida, el baile, todo esto, ¿qué no?
00:05:07SÃ.
00:05:11Well, I tell you, you see,
00:05:13I don't know whether I can or not,
00:05:14on account of I'm not going to be around here very long.
00:05:17Well, as a matter of fact, I'm going away tomorrow morning.
00:05:19See?
00:05:21See?
00:05:22No.
00:05:26Hey.
00:05:42Hey.
00:05:48Hey.
00:05:55What's up?
00:06:12Don José! Don José! ¿Dónde está Don José?
00:06:15¿Qué pasa, Pancho?
00:06:17Los hombres del zorro pasaron la frontera y se llevaron todas las provisiones, señor.
00:06:21¿Las provisiones?
00:06:21SÃ, señor, y mataron cuatro o cinco.
00:06:23Oh, madre mÃa.
00:06:25What's the trouble, señor?
00:06:27The men of the fox are riding this side of the border again, señor.
00:06:30This time is my supply train.
00:06:32My rancho is the third one that has been robbed within a month.
00:06:37Nothing close to the border is safe any longer.
00:06:39Only last week they raided another pack train from the silver mine.
00:06:42Is there nothing your country can do to help capture this fox?
00:06:46You've got no more kick coming than we have.
00:06:48We're getting the same thing from him on our side of the border.
00:06:50If your government continues doing nothing,
00:06:53maybe we ourselves will find it necessary to ride north.
00:06:55If you're figuring on crossing the border and looking for trouble...
00:06:58Gentlemen, gentlemen, is the friendship between our peoples to be broken by the acts of the fox?
00:07:04Well, it looks like that's just what's going to happen one of these days.
00:07:09I apologize for my people, señor.
00:07:12But you understand, they have suffered much at the hands of the fox.
00:07:17I can't say that I blame you all for getting head up.
00:07:21Something must be done, my friends.
00:07:24It's to worry if one man were to be the cause of bad blood between us of the border.
00:07:29I wish they'd give me three or four rangers.
00:07:30Let me have a try at find...
00:07:33We've had the whole ranger force here twice.
00:07:35I wish Hopalong Cassidy was in this part of the country.
00:07:39Me and him would round up the fox and jig time.
00:07:43Who is the elderly gentleman talking to the ranger?
00:07:47That's Wendy Halliday.
00:07:48He works on a ranch just north of the border.
00:07:53Pardon me, gentlemen.
00:07:58Do I understand that you know this Mr. Hopalong Cassidy?
00:08:04He wants to know why no Hoppy.
00:08:06Why, sure you know him.
00:08:07You've known him all his life.
00:08:09You've taught him every darn thing he knows.
00:08:12Then perhaps you can tell me where this Mr. Cassidy can be found.
00:08:16Sure.
00:08:17Well, he's handling a roundup down in the Pecos country.
00:08:19I happen to be a friend of Hoppy, sir.
00:08:22If you have a message for him, I can take it.
00:08:24He's near our headquarters and I'm going over there tomorrow morning.
00:08:27Thank you, Senor Ranger.
00:08:30But there is no message.
00:08:32I was merely interested in the name.
00:08:40Gentlemen, I believe there is a solution to the problem of the fox.
00:08:44We're with you.
00:08:46Let's hear it.
00:08:47There is nothing to be discussed.
00:08:49Yet.
00:08:51Senor, I will want my horses early in the morning.
00:08:54What?
00:08:55Are you leaving, Senor?
00:08:57Si.
00:08:57I ride north to talk to my friend, Major Stafford, of the Rangers.
00:09:05Yes, I agree with you, Colonel.
00:09:09Something has got to be done before there's trouble on the border.
00:09:14I must admit that this fox has got me stumped.
00:09:18Why, twice we've rounded up his gang.
00:09:20I know.
00:09:21But still, the fox continues with his work.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:25Well, how am I going to round up a man when I don't even know who he is?
00:09:30You've never admitted defeat before, my friend.
00:09:33Well, that's all right.
00:09:34I'm not admitting it now.
00:09:35It's just that I don't like the idea of mixing Cassidy up in this business.
00:09:40It's the only card you have left to play.
00:09:44Yeah.
00:09:46Yeah, I guess you'll ride with that, Colonel.
00:09:51So, I says to this little hot tamale, I think you are mucho pretty, Senorita.
00:09:55And what do you think her comeback was?
00:09:57She says, what's the matter, Ranger?
00:09:59Don't you speak English?
00:10:02There was a fat one there I was going to bring back for you, Bailey.
00:10:04You should have kept it yourself.
00:10:07Nelson, Bailey, I want you to go out to Barkay Ranch and arrest the foreman.
00:10:12I have some questions I want to ask him.
00:10:15Oh, I guess I must have heard you wrong, Major.
00:10:18The foreman of the Barkay is...
00:10:19Hop along, Cassidy, I know.
00:10:24You mean you want me to arrest Hoppy?
00:10:26Exactly.
00:10:31I'd rather you picked someone else for the job, Major.
00:10:34You see, Cassidy and I...
00:10:35No, I'm not interested in hearing about your personal history.
00:10:38Or about your friendship with Cassidy.
00:10:41I gave you an order, Nelson.
00:10:43Carry it out.
00:10:46Yes, sir.
00:11:05All right, Swinger, open and let him back.
00:11:11Come on, you guys.
00:11:12Come on, smack it out of him, Hoppy.
00:11:14That's it, Rocky, Hoppy.
00:11:15Don't let him get you out of here.
00:11:19That's it, ride it out of here, Hoppy.
00:11:21You got him, Rode.
00:11:23That's it, Hoppy.
00:11:25Ride him out of here.
00:11:26Come on, smack it out of here, Hoppy.
00:11:29That's it, Rocky, Hoppy.
00:11:31Don't let him get you out of here.
00:11:34You got him?
00:11:35Come on, you guys.
00:11:44All right, boys, turn him loose.
00:12:02All right, Johnny.
00:12:03When did you get back in this part of the country?
00:12:06This morning.
00:12:08Hello, Bailey.
00:12:09Pull up a chair and watch a real buckaroo handle a bronc.
00:12:26Hey, did you eat something that ain't sitting well?
00:12:33Hoppy, you know, you always told me when a man had a job to do, he did it.
00:12:40And it still goes.
00:12:45That's what makes it so tough.
00:12:48What's the matter to you?
00:12:50You know, if you're in trouble, I'm ready and willing to back you up.
00:12:55I'd rather take a beating, Hoppy, than do what I gotta do.
00:13:00But I'm up against it.
00:13:03What are you trying to say?
00:13:10I'm arresting you, Hoppy.
00:13:15Oh, arresting me?
00:13:17For what?
00:13:19I...
00:13:21I don't know.
00:13:23Hey, you've been eating loco wheat, I think.
00:13:25You're trying to be funny, Nelson.
00:13:27You're not making us laugh.
00:13:28No joke, man.
00:13:29It's Major Stafford's orders.
00:13:31If Major Stafford wants to see me, tell him I said to come out here.
00:13:35You...
00:13:36You know how I feel about it, Hoppy.
00:13:39But it's my job to bring you in.
00:13:41And I gotta do it.
00:13:44All right, Johnny.
00:13:45We'll soon get this straightened out.
00:13:52Hoppy.
00:13:53Yeah?
00:13:54Your...
00:13:55Your guns.
00:13:57Do you mind turning them over?
00:14:04You know, I'm pretty crazy about these, Johnny.
00:14:08But I guess you'll take care of them the way you get this thing straightened out.
00:14:12I'll get my horse.
00:14:23Be back in a little while, Frank.
00:14:35Come in.
00:14:44All right, boys.
00:14:45You can go.
00:14:46Yes, sir.
00:14:53I'm sorry I had to send for you like this, Hoppy.
00:14:56But I thought it was the best way to handle things.
00:14:59Say, what is this?
00:15:01Has the whole ranger service gone loco?
00:15:04What's going on?
00:15:06You'll find out soon enough.
00:15:08Oh, uh, Hoppy, I want you to meet Colonel Gonzalez of the Mexican Secret Service.
00:15:12How are you, Colonel?
00:15:13I've heard about you.
00:15:15And I've heard about you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:15:16Many fine things.
00:15:18Thanks.
00:15:18Oh, uh, sit down, Hoppy.
00:15:26Hoppy, we're up against it.
00:15:29The Fox and a new gang of his are working down around El Rio.
00:15:33They're raiding below the border again.
00:15:36So I've heard.
00:15:38El Rio used to be my home range.
00:15:41Yes, I know.
00:15:42That's the reason I wanted you for this job.
00:15:44Uh, you know the country down there, you see, and the people.
00:15:49Meaning you want me to bring back the Fox?
00:15:51Exactly.
00:15:53I want his gangs broken up once and for all.
00:15:57Well, anything I can do, count me in.
00:16:00But I still want to know why I was brought in under arrest.
00:16:04Mr. Cassidy, you have a reputation of being decent, upright, and only square.
00:16:13Well, I'm glad folks feel that way about me.
00:16:17But, as such a man, you can be of no use to us.
00:16:23Hoppy, I'm going to ask you to do the biggest thing you've ever done in your life.
00:16:28Now, you can take it or leave it.
00:16:30I know how much your reputation means to you, but I'm asking you to throw it away.
00:16:36I'm asking you to make yourself despised.
00:16:39Hated by everybody.
00:16:41Even your best friends.
00:16:46You're asking quite a lot, ain't you?
00:16:55I know it.
00:16:57More than I have the right to ask any man.
00:17:00But I have no choice, Hoppy.
00:17:03We're at the end of our rope, and we have got to fight fire with fire.
00:17:09How are you aiming to have me go about things?
00:17:12I want you to go down to El Rio, a discredited, dishonorable man.
00:17:17One who has double-crossed his friends.
00:17:20The rest, I leave to your own judgment.
00:17:26I don't like to refuse, Major, but...
00:17:29I know how you feel, Senor.
00:17:32But something must be done.
00:17:34Otherwise, all the good work you've helped do
00:17:36in bringing about friendship between my people and yours
00:17:40will be undone.
00:17:42Let's just drop it all, Hoppy.
00:17:45Hoppy, I'm sorry that I asked you to do it in the first place.
00:17:49I shouldn't have.
00:17:51I'll go out and tell the boys that that arrest was just a joke.
00:17:55You're not telling them anything.
00:17:58How and when do we get started?
00:18:04I'll tell you what you do.
00:18:05You make a break out through the squad room.
00:18:07Now, if anybody stops us to talk to us,
00:18:09you let me do all the talking.
00:18:12You understand, don't you, Hoppy,
00:18:14that nobody is to know anything about this?
00:18:17Not a soul.
00:18:18Until we catch the fox.
00:18:21Hoppy, we're playing our last card.
00:18:24I'm taking the job, ain't I?
00:18:27Good luck, Mr. Cassidy.
00:18:30Thanks, Bill.
00:18:42Just a minute, Cassidy.
00:18:48Do you think that you can get away
00:18:49with evading my questions?
00:18:51Well, I'm doing it, ain't I?
00:18:53I'll give you one more chance to clear yourself.
00:18:56That is, if you can.
00:18:58I've got nothing to say.
00:19:00Then I'll say it for you.
00:19:02I have definite information
00:19:03that you've been acting as a go-between
00:19:05for buyers of stolen cattle
00:19:07and rustlers.
00:19:09And you can't deny it.
00:19:11There ain't no law
00:19:13says I have to ask folks
00:19:14where they got the cattle they're selling.
00:19:16Now, of course,
00:19:17Hopalong Cassidy would be smart enough
00:19:19to protect himself
00:19:20on his end of the deal.
00:19:22But those cattle were stolen
00:19:24and you know it.
00:19:26I ain't admitting nothing.
00:19:28So what are you going to do about it?
00:19:30Just this.
00:19:33When we made you an honorary lieutenant
00:19:35in the Rangers, Cassidy,
00:19:37we thought you were a man.
00:19:39Now, there's an old saying
00:19:41that when a good sheepdog
00:19:42turns killer,
00:19:44he's the worst of the lot.
00:19:45You had us all fooled, all right,
00:19:47but any man who will use
00:19:49the respect of his friends
00:19:50to cover up his underhand work
00:19:51isn't fit to associate
00:19:53with white men.
00:19:55Now, I'm giving you until sundown
00:19:56to get out of this district, Cassidy.
00:19:58Hoppy, you get going
00:19:59and keep going.
00:20:10Why don't you talk
00:20:11to the Major, Hoppy?
00:20:13You can explain
00:20:14it's all a mistake.
00:20:15Why should I?
00:20:17Well, you...
00:20:18You've got to do something
00:20:19to square yourself.
00:20:21Why don't you try
00:20:22a mind on your own business
00:20:23once in a while?
00:20:26How about giving me back
00:20:28my guns?
00:20:34You ain't got much time
00:20:35for sundown, Cassidy.
00:20:37You better get going.
00:21:17All right.
00:21:41I know how you feel about it, son.
00:21:44But quitting the service isn't going to help none.
00:21:48You better stick here for a while.
00:21:51You know, we've got to give Cassidy a chance to straighten himself out.
00:21:55Hmm? You see?
00:22:06Yes, sir.
00:22:12I feel sorry for that boy.
00:22:17He loves Cassidy like a brother.
00:22:19You know, since he believes what he heard,
00:22:25it might be a good idea to send him down to El Rio on duty.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:34Hey, it might be at that.
00:22:36Then Cassidy would have a friend to back him up in case of trouble.
00:22:50Hey, Wendy.
00:22:51Did you know that Hopalong Cassidy's headed for El Rio?
00:22:53Why, the ornery glute.
00:22:56Why didn't he tell me first?
00:22:57All he's did before.
00:23:01It ain't likely Cassidy wants to see any of his old friends
00:23:04after being found out for what he is.
00:23:06It wasn't Sam Hill you talking about.
00:23:08Here, look at this.
00:23:12Yeah.
00:23:13Maybe you better read it for me.
00:23:16I've forgotten specs.
00:23:19The editor is informed that Hopalong Cassidy is headed in the direction of El Rio.
00:23:24This paper hereby takes upon itself the duty of advising this Ed Cassidy
00:23:28that we have no use for his kind in our city.
00:23:33A man who would act as a go-between for rustlers is worse than the rustlers themselves.
00:23:40Why, that dirty ink-slinging catterwumpus.
00:23:44I'm riding to make him eat them words.
00:23:48Yeah, and the paper's rid on too.
00:24:07That's Cassidy, the one they're all talking about.
00:24:10Took a lot of nerve for him to come back to his home range after what he's done.
00:24:21Had an idea you were headed this way, Cassidy.
00:24:24I got a right to, ain't I?
00:24:27It's my home range.
00:24:38Well, I suppose you're getting all set to tell me how disappointed you are in me.
00:24:42Like everybody else.
00:24:44Well, you can save your sermon.
00:24:46See here, Cassidy.
00:24:47If you want to stay around El Rio, I advise you to watch your step.
00:24:51I ain't needing your advice.
00:24:54Well, I'm just warning you.
00:24:55I'm not interested in your warning.
00:25:20Hey, Cassidy.
00:25:21Hello, Hoppy.
00:25:25Howdy.
00:25:26You don't mind serving me a drink, do you?
00:25:29Why, we serve anybody as long as they pay for it.
00:25:40Say, it's too bad about that trouble you got into.
00:25:44What's so bad about it?
00:25:45I can still take care of myself.
00:25:48Huh.
00:25:48You got caught up with, didn't you?
00:25:52Well, if I did.
00:25:54I kept out of jail.
00:25:55I'm still roaming around, ain't I?
00:26:01Who's the man with all the mouth?
00:26:03It's Tom Parker.
00:26:05He's got a ranch out of town.
00:26:06He don't like to have folks ask questions about him.
00:26:10He's already told me all I want to know about him.
00:26:19I don't think I'm going to like you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:26:28That makes it practically unanimous.
00:26:33You got any more you want to say on the subject?
00:26:37I might have one of these days.
00:26:43I'll be around.
00:26:46Make it up, Molly!
00:26:48Make it up, Molly!
00:26:52Don't let him burn off, Molly!
00:26:59What's he trying to do?
00:27:01It's only loco.
00:27:03He hasn't got all his machinery.
00:27:10It's not dangerous letting people like that carry firearms.
00:27:14Especially around kids.
00:27:16Oh, it's only blanks that he's shooting.
00:27:18Folks give it to the fools so they can have fun with it.
00:27:21Watch.
00:27:22Hey, loco!
00:27:23Come here.
00:27:31Loco.
00:27:32This is Hopalong Cassidy.
00:27:34He's a pretty tough guy, too.
00:27:36If you think you're tougher than I am, we'll shoot it out.
00:27:41Draw!
00:27:45You don't have to draw.
00:27:47I'll admit you're the best man.
00:27:50In that case, shake.
00:27:58Are you the Mr. Hopalong Cassidy Mr. Windy is always telling me about?
00:28:02What about it?
00:28:04You look just like Mr. Windy said you did.
00:28:07Big and strong.
00:28:09He's always telling me how you can ride better and fight better than anybody else.
00:28:14And you're so nice and everything.
00:28:17He says that they'd turn you and him loose.
00:28:19Why don't you shut your little mouth and go home?
00:28:22What did I do?
00:28:25Nothing.
00:28:26Only I don't like kids.
00:28:28Now go on.
00:28:44Hey, Hoppy!
00:28:53What's the matter, Hoppy?
00:28:54Somebody been saying something about this writing?
00:28:57You show them to me and I'll...
00:28:58Everybody says too much.
00:29:00Oh, I don't believe a word of here.
00:29:03And I can whip my daylights out of the polecat that thinks different.
00:29:07Am I going to have to take a lot of guff from you, too?
00:29:09Now get this straight.
00:29:11I don't want any sympathy from you or anybody else.
00:29:18Well, old blowhard, all that big talk about you being such great pals with Hopalong Cassidy
00:29:25was just a lot of wind.
00:29:28Eh?
00:29:29Well, nobody asked you to horn in.
00:29:39Get up out of there, you ornery maverick, and I'll knock you down again.
00:29:47I knowed everybody was wrong about you, Hoppy, and I knowed you'd back me up if it's come to a
00:29:52showdown.
00:29:53Dry up, you loudmouthed old idiot.
00:29:55I'm not backing up anybody.
00:29:57I'm just proving that I don't need anybody fighting my battles for me.
00:30:11Hoppy!
00:30:12Oh, I'm tired of this palaverin.
00:30:14Come on, I'm buying the drinks.
00:30:17You gonna...
00:30:18gonna buy Loco a drink, too?
00:30:20Sure, anybody that wants one.
00:30:22Come on.
00:30:35Now, now, there ain't no need to cry, Molly.
00:30:38Why, he didn't hurt me.
00:30:40Come on.
00:30:41Old Wendy will take you home to your ma.
00:30:45Mr. Wendy, are you sure that's right, Mr. Cassidy, the one you told me about?
00:30:53Well, I...
00:30:55I ain't none too sure at that.
00:30:58Man and boy, I've known Hoppy nigh on all his life.
00:31:02Can't figure it out.
00:31:05I reckon I'd better hang around town and kind of keep an eye on him.
00:31:09I got a job of reforming to do.
00:31:11Reforming?
00:31:12What's that?
00:31:13Now, don't you worry your little head about that.
00:31:16There's something I gotta do.
00:31:24Figure I'm sticking around El Rio for a while, Hoppy?
00:31:27Why not?
00:31:29One place is just as good as another.
00:31:32And very many jobs laying around.
00:31:35I know what you're thinking.
00:31:37But who said anything about wanting a job?
00:31:40I don't figure I'll have any trouble picking up enough money to live on.
00:31:47Can Loco have another drink?
00:31:54I like you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:32:02If there's anybody you want, put away.
00:32:06You just are bleeding to me.
00:32:09I'm looking out for you from now on.
00:32:28If you want anything, just look around.
00:32:32And there I'll be.
00:32:35I wish you had sense enough so as I could make you understand that I just want to be left
00:32:39alone.
00:32:43That's Cassidy buying the drinks.
00:32:47May I have a notion to have it out with him here and now.
00:32:50I wouldn't if I was you.
00:32:52The fox is dead set against anybody doing anything without his orders.
00:32:56And I kind of think he's going to take a personal interest in Mr. Cassidy.
00:33:25You all set?
00:33:26Wait a minute, Tom.
00:33:28The chief's orders are to get him front and back while they're crossing the creek bed.
00:33:30We can do it just as easy here and save a lot of time.
00:33:33That wasn't the fox's orders.
00:33:35When we're riding, I'm giving the orders.
00:33:37Come on.
00:33:40Come on.
00:33:41Come on.
00:33:42Come on.
00:33:55Get out of the rabbit.
00:33:58Get out of the rabbit.

00:39:18Well, you are now.
00:39:30Oh, she's here now.
00:39:31Oh, stop your grumbling.
00:39:34Darned persnickety women.
00:39:40You look funny, Mr. Windy.
00:39:43Well, you don't have to tell me. I know it.
00:39:46Will you stand still?
00:39:48Well, Loco's making me do it.
00:39:51Looking at me like he wants to laugh.
00:39:53Well, don't pay any attention to the crazy fool.
00:39:56Maybe he ain't so crazy after all.
00:40:10Now, don't you dare move.
00:40:12I've got to get some more pins.
00:40:18Hi there, Johnny.
00:40:20What are you doing back in this part of the country?
00:40:23I've been assigned down here on duty.
00:40:28Everything happens to me.
00:40:30As if I didn't have enough on my hand.
00:40:31Now, I suppose I've got to ride herding on you, too.
00:40:39Well, you'd sure look pretty riding herding in a side saddle.
00:40:47You know what beats me, Windy, is...
00:40:50...how you can keep up to the minute on Stiles way down here on the border.
00:40:54Why, you young muck-wump!
00:40:59Hello, Johnny.
00:41:01Howdy, ma'am.
00:41:03I was just admiring your new housemate.
00:41:05Now, you leave him alone.
00:41:08Don't you think, ma'am, if she wore a veil with that outfit, she'd look better?
00:41:13I'll be.
00:41:14Another crack out of you, and there'd be one less ranger in the service.
00:41:18If it wasn't that a gentleman ain't allowed to hit a lady, I'd make you eat them, Lord.
00:41:21Oh, yeah?
00:41:27All right.
00:41:29All right.
00:41:31All right.
00:41:52You're Brothers.
00:43:40Hello, Mr. Hopalong.
00:43:42Hello.
00:43:47Give me some meat.
00:43:53Mother has a new dress.
00:43:56Yeah?
00:43:58Doesn't she look pretty?
00:44:04Yeah, she looks all right.
00:44:12Pass me a plate, ma'am.
00:44:18We missed you at dinner this noon, Mr. Cassidy.
00:44:25Well, in case you was worried, I rode over to the Bar 20 to collect some money.
00:44:33Hoppy, you didn't ask Buck for that money.
00:44:37Why not? I had it coming to me, didn't I?
00:44:41Yeah, but after all the hard luck he's had this year, he needs every dollar he can get a hold
00:44:48of to restock his range.
00:44:51That's his hard luck, not mine.
00:45:07Hello, Hoppy.
00:45:10Hello.
00:45:14I suppose they sent you down here to keep your eye on me.
00:45:19Oh, what's got into you anyway, Hoppy?
00:45:22Nothing.
00:45:23It's just that I don't like anybody trailing me.
00:45:26Ranger or no ranger.
00:45:31I wasn't sent down here to trail you, Cassidy.
00:45:34And I ain't having no further interest in you as long as you watch your step.
00:45:38I suppose I don't.
00:45:41I'll have to go after you.
00:45:43Same as I would anybody else.
00:45:47Just a little warning, Ranger.
00:45:51Doing that mightn't be so healthy for you.
00:45:54I'll take that chance.
00:45:58You're talking kind of big, ain't you?
00:46:03Figure you can hide behind that badge you're wearing?
00:46:06I've taken about enough from you.
00:46:17Oh, I'm sorry, Hoppy.
00:46:20Let's call it quits.
00:46:24Sure, we'll call it quits.
00:46:26When I've evened things up with you.
00:46:48From what I heard about you, Cassidy,
00:46:51I never figured you'd let the ranger get away with that.
00:46:54Oh, there's ways of doing things without sticking your head in the noose.
00:46:58You shouldn't talk that way, Mr. Cassidy.
00:47:01Why, you and Johnny used to be such good friends.
00:47:05Oh, you mustn't let it get you.
00:47:07Anybody can make mistakes.
00:47:09But just because you made one,
00:47:10there's no reason why you should go on making more.
00:47:13Can a man even eat around here without having to listen to a sermon?
00:47:15Well, let's go.
00:47:53Don't be mad at Johnny, Mr. Cassidy.
00:47:56And don't be mad at Mother.
00:47:58She won't scold you no more.
00:48:01All right, I won't be mad.
00:48:05You know, Mr. Cassidy,
00:48:07Mother always tells me if I try real hard,
00:48:09I won't get into any trouble.
00:48:11Why don't you do that?
00:48:14Do what?
00:48:15Try real hard not to get into trouble.
00:48:19Sometimes it works, even with me.
00:48:21Will you?
00:48:23So you want me to reform, huh?
00:48:25Mm-hmm.
00:48:27What's reform mean?
00:48:29Oh, I guess it's just sort of doing things
00:48:32that other people think you should do.
00:48:34Will you do that?
00:48:37Yeah, I'll try it.
00:48:39I know you would.
00:48:41I'm going in to tell Mr. Winnie you have reformed.
00:48:43Oh, no, don't tell anybody now.
00:48:46We better keep it a secret.
00:48:47Why?
00:48:49Well, uh, people can't reform all of a sudden.
00:48:53Why?
00:48:54Well, it's, uh, it's kind of hard on the nervous system.
00:48:59You understand?
00:49:00Mm-hmm.
00:49:01Why?
00:49:03Well, you never mind why.
00:49:04You just keep it a secret.
00:49:13Where are you going?
00:49:15Down to the bar.
00:49:17Can Loco have a drink?
00:49:20Yeah.
00:49:23Well, what do you want me to do, bring it to you?
00:49:26No.
00:49:27I'll come along and get it.
00:49:29I'll come along and get it.
00:50:18I'd like to have a little talk with you, Cassidy.
00:50:22Well, what's stopping you?
00:50:24Go on, Loco.
00:50:25Get moving.
00:50:26Ain't nobody chasing me.
00:50:28I'm looking out for me.
00:50:29I said get moving.
00:50:41My partner Parker got killed this morning, Cassidy.
00:50:45That's too bad.
00:50:47I figure I need a little help from now on.
00:51:01I heard you know some cattle buyers that ain't too particular about brands or where the cattle come from.
00:51:08I suppose I do.
00:51:10I suppose I do.
00:51:10What about it?
00:51:12Think they'd be interested in a fine herd?
00:51:15Say about a thousand head?
00:51:18Maybe if the price was right.
00:51:21Just where do I get in touch with them?
00:51:25I didn't ask you where the herd is, did I?
00:51:29You don't do all right, Cassidy.
00:51:32How will I get together with these buyers?
00:51:35I'll get word to them to meet you halfway between here and the panhandle.
00:51:39Then nobody's taking any chances.
00:51:41Suits me.
00:51:43Just tell me when I get the herd started.
00:51:46Oh, about two or three days.
00:51:49Whatever you say.
00:51:56Hello, Loco.
00:51:57Want to play horse?
00:51:59Don't feel like plan.
00:52:01What's the matter?
00:52:03Ain't nobody bought Loco a drink.
00:52:06All day.
00:52:10Maybe Mr. Hop along will.
00:52:13Is he around?
00:52:15Yes, he's in his room.
00:52:16But he said he was going to take a nap.
00:52:46He liked it.
00:52:53He's going to be troubled.
00:52:53He doesn't want you to go.
00:53:01He didn't want you to leave.
00:54:21Why, Johnny, are you leaving?
00:54:24Oh, no, ma'am. I'm just taking a ride out in the country on business.
00:54:32Where are you heading for, kid?
00:54:34Down across the border.
00:54:36I got to get a description of some of that stuff the Foxes men stole the other day.
00:54:43Kind of late in getting started.
00:54:45Ain't you afraid you'd get lost in the dark before you get back?
00:54:49Well, if I was sure I wasn't going to see that funny face of yours anymore, I might get lost
00:54:54on purpose.
00:54:55Some of these days, young fellas, something's going to happen to you, and I'm going to be the happener.
00:55:00You got a match for Loco?
00:55:02Yeah, I guess so.
00:55:06Begout you don't burn yourself, Loco.
00:55:08Oh.
00:55:08Oh.
00:55:09Oh.
00:55:19Oh.
00:55:28Oh.
00:55:57So, let's get started.
00:56:27So, let's get started.
00:56:44Johnny.
00:56:45Johnny.
00:56:46Oh, please listen to me.
00:56:48You've got to fight.
00:56:49You've got to hang on till I get you into town.
00:57:10Never mind, Wendy.
00:57:11I'll get it.
00:57:17Wendy, it's Johnny.
00:57:19He's hurt.
00:57:23Get him in the house.
00:57:25I'll go for a doctor.
00:57:47Give me a beer.
00:57:49Did you hear the news?
00:57:50The ranger got shot up and the doctor don't think he's going to live.
00:57:53Hey, Hoppy, did you hear that?
00:57:55Somebody got Johnny Nelson and he's in a pretty bad way.
00:57:58Well, what am I supposed to do?
00:58:00Bust out crying?
00:58:04I'm hoping for $10.
00:58:08Me too.
00:58:10You're looking better this morning, Johnny.
00:58:12Is he going to be all right, Doc?
00:58:14With enough rest and care?
00:58:16Why, he'll be as good as new in no time.
00:58:18See, that proves the old saying.
00:58:20The good die young.
00:58:23But you've got to take it easy for a while, son.
00:58:26You had a pretty close call.
00:58:28If you hadn't had sense enough to use your scarf for a bandage,
00:58:32why, you might have bled to death.
00:58:34What puzzles me is how he ever made it here alone.
00:58:38Must have been sheer instinct.
00:58:41Well, I'll drop in this evening.
00:58:43Goodbye, Doc.
00:58:44So long, Doc.
00:58:49How did it happen, son?
00:58:50Well, you know as much about it as I do.
00:58:53All I know is someone got me,
00:58:55and the next thing I know, I was here in bed.
00:58:59Say, Wendy.
00:59:02Has...
00:59:02Has Hoppy been asking about it?
00:59:06Uh...
00:59:06Why, I guess he ain't hear nothing about it yet.
00:59:10Or...
00:59:10Or maybe he's been pretty busy.
00:59:12Ah, you ain't fooling either of us, Wendy.
00:59:16He's just let us down, that's all.
00:59:18Well...
00:59:20I can't figure it out.
00:59:23I guess we both must have been seeing something in him that...
00:59:28just wasn't there.
00:59:29Well, it was there, all right.
00:59:31Then what made him turn?
00:59:33Oh...
00:59:34I don't know, Johnny.
00:59:37Maybe it's because he got tired of doing things for the other fella.
00:59:41All is given.
00:59:43He made up his mind to do something for himself for a change.
01:00:09I...
01:00:10I...
01:00:10I...
01:00:10I...
01:00:14I'll be doggoned if I see how you tear them papers like that.
01:00:19Let's see it.
01:00:20Sure.
01:00:26Well, I still don't see how it's done.
01:00:33You seen anything of Morgan?
01:00:35Don't like Morgan.
01:00:37I didn't ask you if you liked him.
01:00:39I asked you if you saw him.
01:00:41Saw him at the bar.
01:00:48No, Loco's not coming.
01:00:49I got some important business to talk over with Morgan.
01:00:52I'll bring you something when I come back.
01:00:55Nobody won't let Loco go no place.
01:01:36I'll do it.
01:01:41I've got something to say to you, Morgan.
01:01:43Private.
01:01:44Go ahead and talk.
01:01:46Todd's one of the outfit.
01:01:48Deal me a hand.
01:01:53I've just been thinking.
01:01:55How do I know I'm going to get my cup on them cattle or so?
01:02:00Don't worry.
01:02:01You'll get your share.
01:02:03I'm not worried.
01:02:05I'm going to be right on hand when the money's turned over.
01:02:09You don't take any chances, do you, Cassidy?
01:02:12Not if I can help him.
01:02:14Pass.
01:02:16All of you.
01:02:18That's why I'm not riding with the trail herd unless I know who the men are that are riding with
01:02:22me.
01:02:24Give me two.
01:02:27Two to me.
01:02:29Well, you won't have to bother about that.
01:02:32These men have all worked for me before.
01:02:35It's all right with me.
01:02:37You better have them come in town right away.
01:02:40I want to hear you tell them that I'm boss on this herd.
01:02:43Bet, uh...
01:02:51Tell the boys to get in town right away.
01:02:57When do you figure on getting started?
01:02:59First thing in the morning.
01:03:01I'm going over now to check on supplies.
01:03:16I'll let you know as soon as the boys get here.
01:03:18I'll be close around.
01:03:32I'd rather start the work, Colonel.
01:03:34How soon can you get your men in?
01:03:36I can have 25 men here in as many minutes, senor.
01:03:40Get started.
01:03:42At once, senor.
01:03:54Oh, now, there ain't no need to cry, Molly.
01:03:57Johnny's all right.
01:03:59Why, blame your head.
01:04:00Clunk him on the head.
01:04:01Keep him in bed.
01:04:03Why won't Mr. Hopalong come to see him?
01:04:08Well, what's getting into you, Molly?
01:04:12I heard you and Mr. Johnny talking.
01:04:15I guess Mr. Hopalong isn't going to reform him like he promised he would after all.
01:04:22Please, Uncle Wendy.
01:04:24Ain't there something we can do about it?
01:04:28Now, listen, Molly.
01:04:30Hoppy knows what he's doing.
01:04:32Look, if you promise you won't tell nobody, I'll let you in on a secret.
01:04:37I promise.
01:04:38All right.
01:04:39Now, Mr. Hoppy's all right.
01:04:41Ain't nothing wrong with him at all.
01:04:43You see, he's playing a game.
01:04:47Yeah, that's it.
01:04:48He's playing a game.
01:04:49He's got something up his sleeve.
01:04:51I know.
01:04:52You mean he's just pretending?
01:04:54Yeah, that's it.
01:04:55You'll find out.
01:04:56You wait and see.
01:04:58Well, guess I'll run out the ranch.
01:05:01I'll be back soon as I can.
01:05:19Give me an hour, Stark.
01:05:21Get casted right out of the cabin with you.
01:05:23There's a little matter I want to take up with him.
01:05:25What's up?
01:05:26Did you find out something about him?
01:05:27I'm afraid I have.
01:05:29Something unpleasant.
01:05:32I want to know more.
01:05:33You be a good girl now, and I'll be back in two jerks of a lamb's tail.
01:05:39Hey, Wendy!
01:05:40Yeah?
01:05:41Here.
01:05:42I just remember.
01:05:44Cassidy said he had something to tell you.
01:05:48Well, what is it?
01:05:49What is it?
01:05:50Oh, yeah.
01:05:52He says he wants to see you right away.
01:05:55He's got something important to tell you.
01:05:58You too, Molly.
01:05:59Gee, what did I tell you about Hoppy?
01:06:02Where is he?
01:06:02Out in the south desert road of peace.
01:06:05You want me to show you where?
01:06:07Of course I do, you dumb galoot.
01:06:09Climb in there.
01:06:16Where are you taking Molly, Wendy?
01:06:18Out in the south desert road of peace.
01:06:21Cassidy sent first.
01:06:22Cassidy?
01:06:24That's what I said.
01:06:26Well, don't be gone too long.
01:06:27He says to get a move on.
01:06:31Get moving, you walleye jughead.
01:06:34Cassidy's waiting.
01:07:06All right, let's go.
01:07:14I thought you were out on the south desert road.
01:07:16Me?
01:07:17Why, yes.
01:07:18Wendy took Molly out there to meet you.
01:07:20Said you'd sent for them.
01:07:22Who gave Wendy that message?
01:07:24Well, I don't know.
01:07:28Was Loco with them when they left here?
01:07:30Yes, why?
01:07:31And they headed out to south desert road?
01:07:33Why, yes, not more than ten minutes ago.
01:07:35Watch for that Mexican street singer that's been around town the last few days.
01:07:38That's Colonel Gonzalez.
01:07:39When he comes, tell him to follow me to the cabin at the head of the Cloudburst Canyon.
01:07:42And tell him to ride fast.
01:07:44Well, is Molly in danger?
01:07:45Molly will be all right.
01:08:01What's the matter, ma'am?
01:08:03Oh, I wish I knew.
01:08:04Cassidy's riding after Loco.
01:08:06And I'm afraid something's going to happen to Molly.
01:08:14Something's going wrong, boys.
01:08:15Cassidy's heading out after the chief.
01:08:17We've got to stop him.
01:08:18Come on, all of them.
01:08:19Let's go.
01:08:31Grace?
01:08:33Grace?
01:08:45Mr. Cassidy says to follow him to the cabin at the head of Cloudburst Canyon.
01:08:48And hurry, please.
01:08:50Vamanos.
01:09:01What's all the excitement down on the street?
01:09:02I thought I heard a lot of horses.
01:09:04It's Colonel Gonzalez and his charrows.
01:09:06Cassidy's sent for him.
01:09:07Cassidy?
01:09:08Yes, Johnny.
01:09:09And I'm so worried.
01:09:10Molly and Wendy are out there, too.
01:09:12Cassidy sent for Gonzalez?
01:09:13Yes.
01:09:14They're riding out to Cloudburst Canyon to help me.
01:09:17To help me?
01:09:18Please.
01:09:20Saddle my horse, quick.
01:09:21Where are you going?
01:09:22I'm riding out to Cloudburst Canyon.
01:09:23You said Cassidy needed help, didn't you?
01:09:25Hurry up!
01:10:09I'm riding out to Cloudburst Canyon.
01:10:15Hey, what's the idea of throwing my gun away, you crazy fool?
01:10:18Unfortunately for you, I'm quite sane.
01:10:21Give up those horses.
01:10:23Rip them up, I said.
01:10:42Get down.
01:10:44Get down.
01:10:53Inside.
01:11:02Inside.
01:11:05Inside.
01:11:07Inside.
01:11:07Inside.
01:11:07Inside.
01:11:07Inside.
01:11:08Inside.
01:11:09Inside.
01:11:09Inside.
01:11:09Inside.
01:11:10Inside.
01:11:10Inside.
01:11:10Inside.
01:11:11Inside.
01:11:11Inside.
01:11:11Inside.
01:11:14Inside.
01:11:22You'd better stop right where you are, Mr. Cassidy.
01:11:26Come out of there, Loco.
01:11:28I'm giving you a chance to surrender.
01:11:30You're not in a position to dictate, Mr. Cassidy.
01:11:33Drop your guns and come into the cabin with your hands in the air.
01:11:37You wait a long time for that.
01:11:40I think not.
01:11:42You see, I understand the situation.
01:11:45If I'm captured, I hang.
01:11:47And I much prefer a more spectacular death,
01:11:50such as blowing myself up with dynamite, for instance.
01:11:54And that would be most unfortunate for Wendy and your little friend Molly.
01:12:02Wendy.
01:12:06Would you mind verifying my statement to Mr. Cassidy?
01:12:15He's telling the truth, Hoppy.
01:12:17He's got a bunch of dynamite and a short fuse.
01:12:22All right.
01:12:23If I do what you say, will you turn Wendy and Molly loose?
01:12:26That is exactly what I planned on doing.
01:12:31You win.
01:12:36You win.
01:12:49You win.
01:12:50You win.
01:13:00you can start back to town walking
01:13:06hoppy wendy get her out of here
01:13:12aren't you coming with us mr. Cassidy
01:13:16no my dear mr. Cassidy has some business here with me and then he's going on a
01:13:25long long journey but aren't you coming back to the house at all I guess I
01:13:52need honey
01:13:53goodbye Molly I'm sorry if I scolded you and said mean things

01:14:40no use looking for help in that direction
01:14:43by the time windy gets back to town the career of mr. hop-along Cassidy will be
01:15:07ended
01:15:08well it's your move
01:15:10there's one thing I'd like to know before I finish you Cassidy
01:15:14you see I never want to make the same mistake twice what first gave you the idea that I might
01:15:21be the Fox
01:15:24I had an idea there was something wrong the first time I saw you use your left hand instead of
01:15:29your right to pour a drink
01:15:31I never thought of that it was stupid of me
01:15:36and when I noticed your left holster hung lower than your right I kind of figured that one
01:15:42of your guns was carrying the lead
01:15:45very clever of you
01:15:48too bad you didn't have an opportunity to verify your suspicions before this happened
01:15:53but I did
01:15:54but I did
01:15:55this morning when you were washing up for breakfast
01:15:59that's why I reloaded the left gun with blanks
01:16:10sit down
01:16:19put both your hands on that table
01:16:21put both your hands on that table
01:16:46you tricked me very cleverly mr. Cassidy
01:16:51but it won't do any good.
01:17:07You are done for.
01:17:10I wouldn't gamble too much on that if I was you.
01:17:24I don't know.
01:18:06Sit still.
01:18:14I don't like the idea of having to shoot
01:18:18an unarmed man.
01:18:29I don't like the idea of having to shoot an unarmed man.
01:18:55Get on your feet.
01:19:09Let's get started.
01:19:40You're hurt bad.
01:19:43It's all in the game, Johnny.
01:19:47See that the Major gets the fox.
01:19:50I'd deliver him myself, but I'm just a little tired.
01:19:55Just a moment, senor.
01:19:59Gosh, Hoppy, you've got to hang on until I can get you back to town.
01:20:06You've held on for me, Johnny, until I got you back to town.
01:20:11I guess I can do it for you.
01:20:15Oh, Hoppy, I kind of figured it was you all along.
01:20:19Come on, let's go.
01:20:20Oh, Hoppy, I can do it for you.
01:20:35Oh, Hoppy, I can do it for you.
01:20:41Oh, Hoppy, I can do it for you.
01:20:51Oh, Hoppy, I can do it for you.
01:20:56Oh, Hoppy, I can do it for you.
