02:20Shot in the back, eh?
02:35Don't try to talk, Sheriff.
02:50It's a nasty wound.
03:05Stop bleeding though, that's something.
03:08Oh, you're gonna be all right.
03:11I'll have you in Starbucks before night.
03:16Just a swollen now.
03:18You can have more later.
03:46Oh, boy.
04:09We got him.
04:38Boy, you hurt, miss?
04:55I don't think so.
04:57Are they coming?
04:59They're almost here.
05:01They mustn't take me.
05:02Really, they mustn't.
05:03Please don't let them.
05:05I'm not a bandit.
05:06Really, I'm not.
05:07You see...
05:10Hey, hey, this is the best place here, Elmer.
05:12Give me a push.
05:18Hey, you know, I meant...
05:20Don't you understand?
05:22It was our only way out.
05:24Won't you please help me?
05:26Well, I'll do what I can for you, miss.
05:31Your horse is done for.
05:36Well, you'll have to take mine.
05:41Hey, why don't you stay out of this?
05:53I'll have your horse in town for you in an hour.
06:21You got his horse, Bert.
06:23Yeah, too bad I didn't get the road agent.
06:25Well, he can't get far.
06:35We got him.
07:04Come on.
07:24We lost him.
07:45You go that way.
08:15Oh, come on, Bert.
08:17This ain't getting us nowhere.
08:38Dad!
08:40I got it!
08:41You got what?
08:42Where in the world have you been?
08:44I beat the robbers to it.
08:46I held up the stage, and I got our money.
08:48You held up the stage?
08:50Why, I never...
08:51Don't get excited.
08:52It's all over, and I'm safe.
08:54But I lost Prince.
08:56They shot him from under me.
08:58And if it hadn't been for a stranger lending me his horse,
09:00I guess I'd be in jail by now.
09:02A stranger?
09:03Well, who was he?
09:04I don't know.
09:05But he sure was swell.
09:07I've got to change my clothes and get his horse back into town.
09:11I'd never heard of anything like that before in all my life.
09:34The boys are sure late.
09:35I wonder if anything's happened.
09:38Here he comes now.
09:55Put down them irons.
09:56There ain't no passengers.
09:58Well, hand down the bag.
09:59You're late now.
10:00There ain't no bag.
10:01A masked rider held us up about two miles back.
10:05What'll the boss say?
10:06We can't help what he says.
10:07It ain't our fault.
10:10Well, we'll see you in town.
10:12All right.
10:14Get him!

11:14Ha!
11:15Well, Pete, we got stucked up again.
11:16Where did it happen?
11:17Down by a big rock canyon.
11:18Oh, how do you do, Miss Denton?
11:20How's your father?
11:21Better, thank you.
11:22Oh, Pete, was there a package for me today?
11:24There was, but the stage was held up.
11:27Again?
11:29Where's the sheriff?
11:30He hasn't got back yet.
11:31You know, he went out to try and break up this road agent gang.
11:34We haven't been able to find him.
11:36Can I be of any assistance?
11:37Well, my horse and saddle were stolen last night.
11:41I thought maybe he might be able to help me find them.
11:43What color was your horse?
11:45He was a sort of a bay with a double O brand.
11:48Well, it was a horse that that description just shot.
11:51Oh, I hope it wasn't mine.
11:54If it was, Miss Denton, I'll bring your saddle to you.
12:06Howdy, folks.
12:07Could you tell me where the sheriff is?
12:10Oh, I take charge when he isn't here.
12:12Can I do anything for you?
12:15Thanks.
12:16I'll wait for him.
12:17The sheriff didn't care especially for this job.
12:20He might not come back.
12:22I'll take that chance.
12:24I have an idea he will come back.
12:37I don't like the way that fellow talks.
12:40We'll watch him.
12:44Let's go.
12:53Meet me at the crossroads and I'll take you home.
12:56All right.
13:11That masked bandit's already was on the square, huh?
13:13He's ahead of the boys here.
13:14Well, he's afoot now.
13:15The only place he can get water is the Dentons or town.
13:18We may get him.
13:19Let's have a look at that horse.
13:24All right, then.
13:25All right.
13:26Come on.
13:44You'd better put your horse in the barn.
13:46It's a good idea.
13:47I reckon he's pretty dry.
14:00You were right.
14:01He is thirsty.
14:03Come on.
14:04I want you to meet my daughter.
14:05I'll take you home.
14:06All right.
14:07Come on.
14:08Come on.
14:09Come on.
14:10Come on.
14:11Come on.
14:12I want you to meet my dad.
14:13Why, sure.
14:14I'd be glad to.
14:21Dad, I want you to meet Mr. Saunders.
14:25I want to thank you, young fellow, for what
14:27you've done for my daughter.
14:28Well, forget it.
14:29But what's happened to you?
14:31Sit down.
14:32I'll tell you all about it.
14:36You see, Fay and me own half interest in a mine at Yucca.
14:41Our partner sends us our share every couple of weeks.
14:44Sometimes, it's only a few dollars.
14:47Other times, it's a few hundred.
14:49He always writes us when to expect it.
14:51And almost always, the stage was held up
14:53when the shipment came through.
14:55One day, we discovered our letters were being opened.
14:58They knew just when the money was coming.
15:01So I decided to follow the stage.
15:04I ran into the holdup and got a slug in my hip.
15:09Today, Fay thought she'd beat him to it.
15:12Hm.
15:13That's when you happened into it.
15:27It's Kinkade with my saddle.
15:29Wait here.
15:30I'll get him on his way.
15:35It was your horse, all right, Miss Denton.
15:38Here's your saddle.
15:40Thank you so much.
15:41Not at all.
15:42Bert, take it out to the barn.
15:44Never mind.
15:45Don't trouble.
15:50When your father's feeling better,
15:51I'd like to talk to him about buying your ranch.
15:54He's too ill to talk now.
16:04Well, I'll be in a minute.

17:25Why is Kincaid so anxious to buy your right he's trying to buy up all the rent. And
17:31he's offering the boys the ridiculous price of
17:34a dollar an acre he owns the water rights to Lost Creek you see Lost Creek
17:41comes up and disappears on his land. He supplies the whole country here about
17:46with water that's why he's so independent no one will fight him for fear you'll

26:16That the old creek bed. When I first come here was running water through every

26:29You can't divert a stream and you know that you know all. Well those water
26:34contracts expired a day at noon. I think I'll take a run in town and see what
26:39happens that's a good idea. I'll be glad to hear about it.

27:16hanging on to our land and we are not paying you your price for your water.
27:21All right. Then take the consequences boy turn off the water guard my damn and if
27:28anyone set foot on my land shoot.
27:38Well Kincaid may get more shooting than he's looking for.
27:46At the minute. I'm sure that will give you all the water you can all.
27:51Well we may call on him for drinking water but he can't supply enough for our
27:55stock and. That man from Washington would only call.
28:21.

29:22Well. I've decided we better stick with the boys and their family you're right you
29:28write down tell Kincaid that we ain't selling I sure well.
29:38I get more water from them I expected that I've got my men posted and they'll never

29:48I'll own his place before night.
29:59We come.
31:17.
31:47.
32:17Water! Water! Water!
32:29Water! Water! Water!
32:42Fred! Fred! Oh, Fred!
32:56They got through. Saunders drove the wagon.
32:59Saunders, huh?
33:02Slip, when I give you the signal, you come down the middle of the street.
33:06I'm ordering this Saunders out of town.
33:09Then he may be just fool enough to fight it out with you.
33:14I'll be ready for him.
33:23I tell you, men, this has got to stop.
33:26Your cattle's dying. Your crops are withering.
33:30You're fighting a hopeless fight.
33:32Kincaid's got the law behind him.
33:35Sign up and take your licking.
33:37Sign up and stop this bloodshed.
33:49Saunders, you've interfered in my business once too often.
33:53Now I'm giving you just one minute to get out of town.
34:05I'll be back.
34:36Quick, Miss Denton!
34:42What's the trouble?
34:43There's going to be a shooting.
34:47Raise up your guns out low and cinch them on tight.
34:51There'll be blood a-running in town before night.
34:56There'll be guns a-blazing, singing the...
34:59Why, that's singing Sandy.
35:01Who?
35:04The most notorious gunman since Billy the Kid.
35:17Make it fast, Slippery. This is your last draw.
35:22You'll never handle guns again, Morgan.
35:37Right through the ribs.
35:38You'd better get him over to the doctor.
35:44Well, Saunders, you're in for a beating.
35:49Well, Saunders, I guess you win.
35:53Can I talk to you a minute?
35:55Sure, I'll talk to you.
36:00He's singing Sandy, I tell you.
36:03I saw him do the same thing down on the border.
36:07Is he a killer?
36:09He's got a reputation from here to Kentucky.
36:19I need you, and I'll pay your price.
36:23What's the job?
36:24Protecting me and my interests.
36:26The law's on my side.
36:28But the sheriff's gone, and these ranchers may start trouble.
36:32I need a gunman.
36:37Fair enough.
36:39I'll take the job.
36:41Now, how about these debtors?
36:43I've made them pay.
36:45Now, how about these debtors?
36:47I've made them an offer they can't refuse.
36:50Oh, why pay them anything?
36:52Just drop a charge of dynamite down their well and collapse it.
36:56They'll have no water, and then like the rest of the ranchers, they'll have to sell out for nothing.
37:00That's a good idea.
37:03Send in the boys.
37:16Kincaid wants you.
37:25I knew very well that this would happen.
37:29I'd like to talk to your ranchers confidentially.
37:32Why, certainly, Mr. Saunders.
37:34What is it?
37:37Now, listen, boys.
37:39Saunders is working with us now.
37:41So let bygones be bygones.
37:45We're going to blow up Denton's well,
37:48and I want you to get enough dynamite to collapse it for good.
37:53If what you say is true, Saunders, we'll owe you a lot.
37:58Well, let's all owe each other a lot.
38:01If what you say is true, Saunders, we'll owe you a lot.
38:05Well, it's a long chance, but I say take it.
38:09Well, we were going to sign the contracts anyway,
38:12so we'll insist on that clause.
38:15Good.
38:21Boys ready?
38:23I'll go along and watch old Denton.
38:25Now, it'll take a big charge...
38:27I'll get enough to blow it to China.
38:29Good.
38:47We are ready to sign, Kincaid,
38:50provided you are willing to insert a new clause in our contract.
38:55What is it?
38:57If you should fail at any time during the life of our contract
39:03to provide us with water,
39:05your water rights and lands become community property.
39:11Sure, I'll agree to that.
39:13Come on in.
39:27Dad! Dad!
39:30Something terrible has happened.
39:32Mr. Saunders' real name is Singing Sandy.
39:35He's a gunman and a killer.
39:37I saw him shoot a man in town,
39:39and then he joined Kincaid's gang.
39:41Why, I can't believe it.
39:43I heard him tell Kincaid not to pay us a cent,
39:46and he's planning to blow up our well so we won't have any water.
39:49Oh, blow up our well?
39:51Let's have a look in his room.
40:22Well, that's Bill Baxter's daughter.
40:27Maybe he killed the sheriff.
40:38When I get inside, you boys let her go.
40:40Now let's do this job right.
40:42Leave it to us.
40:52That's him now.
40:54Don't let on.
41:03Hello, Dad. Say, I just saw Kincaid.
41:06I know you did. I heard everything you said.
41:09Well, that must have been interesting.
41:11We know who you are, Mr. Singing Sandy.
41:13You may be a killer and play with sheriffs,
41:15but you ain't never gonna blow up my well.
41:21Let's go.
41:51Let's go.
42:22That's one job we did right.
42:24Yeah, we opened up the whole Pacific Ocean.
42:37We better clear out of here before Kincaid catches up with us.
42:41Tomorrow, Kincaid's dam will be nothing but a mud hole.
42:45Your well was the headwaters of Lost Creek.
42:48Yeah, but Bill Baxter's bad.
42:50Oh, he made a deputy of me, not knowing who I was.
42:54He'll be here today.
42:56He'll be here.
42:58He'll be here.
