03:50Why, Hoppy's the whitest, gamest, squarest...
03:54Ridingest, fightinest, shootinest. Yes, I know, Wendy.
03:57Joey's told me all about it a dozen times.
04:00Well, it's the truth. Every word of it.
04:03I wouldn't be surprised if Hoppy'd be paying me a little visit
04:07as soon as he find out I've been elected marshal of this here town.
04:13♪♪♪
04:23♪♪♪
04:39Put up your hands, fella.
04:41What are you arrestin' me for?
04:43I'm just waitin' for an eastbound train.
04:45I'm not arrestin' you, you sap. Get him up.
04:48You sure picked the wrong customer.
04:50I ain't got a dime to my name.
04:52Why, they took every...
04:57Well, if it ain't Smokey Joslin.
05:00Your name's Trainer, ain't it?
05:02You were in the pen over at Florence a couple of years ago.
05:05Yeah, text trainer.
05:07But how did you get out?
05:08I thought you had about ten more years to do.
05:11I happened to be lookin' the other way,
05:13and I decided to take myself a little vacation.
05:15But what are you doin' in this part of the country?
05:17Oh, tryin' to pick up a little easy money around Cactus Springs.
05:21But the brakes were all against me, and I went broke.
05:24Law too tough for you?
05:26The law?
05:27Why, the only law they got is an old bird they elected marshal for a laugh.
05:31Well, that ought to make things easier for me.
05:35Look, there's a ranch outside of Cactus Springs, belongs to a woman.
05:39Good lookin' gal, about 30, and has a kid, eight years old, called Joey.
05:44You happen to know where the place is?
05:46The only one that answers that description is the widow Joyce.
05:49Owns a Circle J Ranch about six miles this side of town.
05:55Look, Trainer, you're pretty handy with a gun.
05:57You know this country.
05:58I'm gonna give you a chance to make a little money.
06:01All right, what have I gotta do?
06:03Get to Tucson as quick as you can.
06:05Then look up an old friend of mine, Stiff Hat Bailey.
06:08You remember him, don't you?
06:09Yeah.
06:10With me handlin' the head work and him doin' the outside job,
06:14this territory ought to be all right for us.
06:18Lazy River, rollin' along, rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' along.
06:31Lazy rolls the Rio Grande.
06:37It never makes a bit of difference what you do.
06:43Cause lazy rolls the Rio Grande.
06:50You never get to doin' what you ought to do.
06:56It rolls along, a-bidin' of its time.
07:02Through the dopey slime that doesn't care a dime.
07:08It sings a song, and that's the reason I'm
07:14a-feelin' mighty strong about the Rio Grande.
07:20Life is free.
07:24Bang, bang, bang!
07:26Bang, bang, bang, bang!
07:28I'll bring every one of you out, Martha,
07:31just as if it's the last thing I ever do.
07:33Bang!
07:34Joey, you should've been asleep an hour ago.
07:37Come on, get into bed.
07:40I was playin' on Hopalong Cassidy.
07:43Will you forget about Hopalong Cassidy for the night and go to sleep?
07:46Mother, I'm not sleepy.
07:49Tell me a story.
07:51Tell me some more about my dad.
07:53I've told you all I can, dear.
07:55Now go to sleep.
07:56How long has he been dead, Mother?
07:58Your father died when you were a year old.
08:01I bet he was as brave as anybody.
08:03He was as fine and brave as any man who ever lived, Joey.
08:06And he died serving his country, didn't he?
08:08Yes, dear. Now go to sleep.
08:10I will.
08:24Good night.
08:25Good night.
08:36Singin' a song
08:39Headin' for the promised land
08:47Lazy rolls the Rio Grande
08:52Lazy river
08:55Rollin', rollin'
08:58Rollin', rollin'
09:01Rollin'
09:11Bob!
09:13I thought you were...
09:14Yeah, surprised to see your husband, huh?
09:16Well, to save you asking a lot of unnecessary questions,
09:19I broke out of jail four days ago.
09:21You had no right to come here.
09:23Joey thinks you're dead.
09:24Oh, yes, I heard all about that pretty little fairy tale.
09:28Smokey Joslin, brave and fine, died serving his country.
09:33I had to lie to him.
09:35And you're not going to come back and spoil everything now.
09:37Whether or not I spoil things depends on you.
09:41Sit down. I want to have a little talk with you.
09:45So, Mrs. Bob Joslin turns out to be the widow Joyce.
09:50A brave little lady came out and homesteaded a piece of ground
09:53and built it into a prosperous ranch for her son.
09:58I heard all about it.
09:59What do you intend to do about it?
10:00Oh, I don't know. I think I'll stay around here for a few days
10:03and just sort of get my bearings.
10:05If it's money you want, I'm cattle poor, but I have a few dollars.
10:08I'm not interested in a few dollars.
10:10I said I was going to stay here for a while.
10:12Don't touch that gun.
10:15You might as well get smart to yourself right now.
10:18You're not going to turn me in.
10:19You can't.
10:20Unless you want to do a lot of explaining to that kid.
10:24I thought that would get you.
10:26Now listen to me.
10:27I want you to dig me up some clothes.
10:29I can't wear these around here.
10:31But I haven't anything to give you, Bob.
10:33The only clothes I have are some things that belong to my brother, Dan.
10:37They'll do.
10:38Nobody around here knows that he's been killed, do they?
10:40No.
10:41All right.
10:42If anybody asks you who I am, I'm your brother, Dan Bennett.
10:46Get the clothes.
10:52You stay there, Joy. I'll be right back.
10:54All right, brother.
10:59We'll get a couple of drinks to wash the dust down our throats.
11:02Then you can tip off Johnson when we're here.
11:05Just as you say, Bailey.
11:07Me and the Haskins will round up some of the boys and find a place to hang out until Johnson's ready for us.
11:13Bobby, come back here.
11:16Get out of here. Get out of here, you little mutt.
11:21Quit kicking my dog, you...
11:24Don't do that.
11:30Where I come from, men don't go around slapping little boys.
11:34Let him go.
11:37I didn't mean any harm, mister.
11:39But of course, if you're asking for it...
11:47I'll get even with you for kicking my dog.
11:50Get back to your wagons, honey.
11:52Come on.
11:53Yes, sir.
11:55Now get moving, all of you.
11:57You ain't seen the last of me yet, mister.
12:01Anytime you say.
12:09Thanks, mister.
12:11All right, son.
12:12You better keep that dog of yours tied up, though.
12:15I will.
12:17Where's a dog going at my height if it ain't Lucky Jenkins?
12:20Hiya, son.
12:21Hello, Willie.
12:22Well, see, you sure have grown since I see you last.
12:25Wish you ain't a mite prettier.
12:27Well, maybe so, but as long as I don't get to look like you, I've still got something to be thankful for.
12:31Hey, you better watch your step, young fella.
12:33You're talking to the town marshal of Cactus Springs.
12:37Don't you start putting on any airs with me just because you got that old tin badge.
12:40Don't you talk to me that way.
12:42I'll give you to understand that badge means something in this community.
12:45Oh, yeah?
12:46Yeah.
12:47Where's Huffy?
12:48He's across the street.
12:49He ain't afraid of some of your tough citizens.
12:51At least they thought they were tough until he whipped them into line.
12:54Oh, freakers, eh?
12:55Where are they?
12:56Show them to me.
12:57You're just like every other town marshal.
12:58You get to the trouble when the shooting's over.
13:00Ah.
13:03Uh-oh.
13:04He's in more trouble.
13:05That's Willie Joyce.
13:06I wonder what he's up to.
13:08It's a pretty state of affairs when decent citizens can't ride into town without being shot at by you would-be bad men.
13:15You mean me?
13:16Yes, you.
13:17I heard the shooting.
13:18You hurt, Joey?
13:19No, I'm all right.
13:20Well, I'm sorry I'd upset you, but you see, I...
13:22I don't see anything, except that old people like you should be locked up.
13:25Holliday needn't brag to me about this town being cleaned up.
13:28And look at that.
13:30Look at my molasses.
13:31And look at this buckboard.
13:33Well, you're not going to get away with it, that's all.
13:36Put up your hands.
13:37Put them up, I say.
13:38You want them any higher?
13:39Now, don't try to be funny.
13:41Now, you're going to pay me for that molasses and the damage to this buckboard,
13:44or there'll be one less good-for-nothing bandit in this town.
13:46But, Ma!
13:47Now, Sonny, don't get your Ma too irritated.
13:49She's a right dangerous woman, your Ma is.
13:51She sure is, mister.
13:52You better do what she says.
13:54Well, come on, pay up.
13:56Um...
13:57It's probably the first time you've ever been made to pay for shooting at honest people.
14:00Well, come to think of it, I guess it is.
14:02How much do I owe you?
14:04That molasses costs 60 cents, if you've got that much.
14:08You'll find it right in that pocket.
14:10Can I hold this for you?
14:11Yes.
14:13Hey, I better go over there and tell the witty Joyce who Hoppy is.
14:17Let him straighten it out for himself.
14:21Oh, keep your money.
14:22It's probably stolen anyway.
14:24Anything else I can do for you, ma'am?
14:26You just wait till I tell Marshal Halliday about this.
14:29Get up.
14:30Sometimes you have to untie them, ma'am.
14:32Oh, Joy Joyce, if you dare to laugh at that...
14:35That...
14:36Get up!
14:43I don't like the looks of things, Windy.
14:45What are you talking about?
14:47Well, every woman that started out by fighting with Hoppy usually winds up by trying to hook him into getting married.
14:52Did you notice the way he smiled at her?
14:54Well, you were right, Lucky.
14:56You know, she can get smart enough and pretty enough to do it, too.
14:59If she ever set her mind to it.
15:01Wouldn't it be awful, Windy, after all these years for Hoppy to get married?
15:05Awful?
15:06Why, it'd be a calam...
15:08Awful?
15:09Why, it'd be a calam...
15:11It'd be terrible!
15:13Aw, you don't have to worry none about Hoppy.
15:15Ain't no woman gonna hook him.
15:17Quiet, here he comes.
15:21Same old Hoppy.
15:23Dug on your hide.
15:24In town two minutes looking for trouble.
15:27Why, say, I thought for a minute I'd have to go over there and come to your rescue.
15:31Same old Windy.
15:32Always ready and willing to back me up.
15:35You sure backed down when that lady let in to you.
15:37What'd you let her do it for?
15:39Well, you can't blame her for getting a little mad.
15:42Say, uh, who is she?
15:43Old widow woman named Joyce.
15:45Got a ranch over west town.
15:47Spunky little cuss.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Kind of pretty, too, don't you think?
15:51I didn't know... Huh?
15:53Say, she is kind of easy to look at.
15:56Oh, he's not ripe to get hooked.
15:59Not much.
16:01What are you talking about?
16:03We'll find out soon enough.
16:05Have you any idea what he's trying to say?
16:08Uh...
16:10Well, I'm wondering what's going on here anyhow.
16:13Will you get your nose out of here?
16:15Well, what is it?
16:16I got a surprise for you.
16:19Florida water?
16:20No.
16:21I'll bet you could use some.
16:23Oh, stop it, Lucky.
16:24Hold him and get that old musket off of him.
16:26What do you mean, hold him?
16:27Hey, hey, what are you doing here, Lucky?
16:29Hey!
16:30This is one time when you're not gonna see or talk.
16:33Hold still, will you?
16:35All right, let him loose.
16:36You ain't gonna take my gun.
16:38I've had that gun for 40...
16:43What is it?
16:44What is it?
16:45What are you mumbling about?
16:47What is it?
16:48It's a present for you from Lucky and me.
16:52Present?
16:53For me?
16:54Sure.
16:58Do you like it, old-timer?
17:00I like it.
17:02Slicker than a brook trout.
17:07I'd like to be able to thank you, fella, but...
17:11I don't know.
17:12For some reason or other, I...
17:14Well, I just ain't got any words.
17:16I thought it'd affect you like that all the time.
17:18I'd bring you a present every day.
17:20Well, there's one time I ain't gonna argue with you,
17:22you young whippersnapper.
17:25I suppose there are times when I...
17:28I suppose there are times when I...
17:31talk too much.
17:34We don't care how much you talk.
17:36It sounds good enough to hear it again.
17:38Say, you got any good ham and eggs in this part of the country?
17:41Ham and eggs?
17:42Here, you learn tootin'.
17:44Best in the West.
17:45Right this way, gentlemen.
17:46There he goes again.
17:48Hey, what are you taking it off for?
17:50I'm gonna save this for my Sunday shooting.
17:52I'm gonna put it right in here for safekeeping.
17:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:03Why don't you hang it out on the front porch?
18:05Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:09This is gonna be one of the easiest jobs we ever tackled.
18:12There's over a thousand head of prime cattle on the Joyce Ranch
18:15just achin' to go across that border.
18:18Well, sounds all right.
18:20But it may not be as easy as you think.
18:22Not with this guy Cassidy in the neighborhood.
18:24Who's Cassidy?
18:25A two-fisted gunman, a friend of the marshal.
18:28Bailey here had a run-in with him this morning.
18:30Yeah, well, don't you worry none about that guy.
18:33I'll make it a point to take care of him personally.
18:37When do we move?
18:38Just as soon as I hear from the buyers.
18:40That'll be, oh, I don't know, what, a couple of days?
18:42I already contacted them.
18:44That's fine.
18:49I thought you'd ought to know about it, Marshal.
18:51One of our boys said he saw Stiff-Hat Bailey
18:53headin' for the Blue Hills yesterday.
18:55Oh, you needn't worry none about him.
18:57He's too smart to start pullin' jobs around here
18:59as long as I am, Marshal.
19:02Oh, hello, hubby.
19:03Have a good night's rest?
19:04You better did.
19:05Hey, have you seen Lucky?
19:06Yeah, down at the loadin' pens, watchin' road cattle.
19:09Just like a mailman takin' a walk on his vacation.
19:11Ha, ha, ha, yeah.
19:13Oh, hubby, I want you to meet Slim Baker.
19:15Hop along, Cassidy.
19:16Howdy.
19:17I'm glad to know you, Cassidy.
19:18Foreman over at the wicked Joyce's Ranch.
19:20Slim's a little might worry
19:22since he heard that Stiff-Hat Bailey's in the neighborhood.
19:25Who's he?
19:26He's the slakest cattle thief in the state.
19:29So smart that no one's been able to catch him with the goods.
19:32What worries me, we're a bit short-handed.
19:34And us with a thousand head of cattle
19:36rounded up almost ready to be shipped.
19:38Well, I don't want you to think I'm buttin'
19:40into your business, Marshal,
19:41but if I can be of any help to you, I...
19:43Oh, shucks, hubby.
19:45No need to cow-bent rustle in this neighborhood
19:47since I was made Marshal.
19:49Of course, it won't make you feel any easier.
19:51You can kind of help me keep an eye on the herd.
19:54You know, just in case.
19:55Well, that's mighty decent of you, Marshal.
19:57Yes.
19:58I'll go get Lucky
19:59and we'll ride out and look over the situation.
20:01We're holding the herd down in the south pasture.
20:03I'll see you out there.
20:05So long, hubby.
20:06Bye.
20:08You fellas sure do things the hard way
20:10in this part of the country.
20:12Get that first one started, the rest will follow.
20:14Here, I'll show you.
20:38Hey, Lucky.
20:39Come on, we're going for a little ride.
20:41I'll be with you as soon as I show these fellas
20:43how this job ought to be done.
20:45Well, if I couldn't see it with my own eyes,
20:47I'd never believe it.
20:49Lucky Jenkins actually doing some work
20:51without being hog-tied and forced into it.
20:54Oh, yeah?
20:55Come on, mister.
20:57Hi, young fella.
21:05How are you this morning?
21:06I'm fine, thanks.
21:07When I didn't see you around town,
21:08I kind of figured you'd be over here.
21:10Well, I'm sure glad you came over to see me.
21:12I just wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday.
21:15Well, there's no thanks necessary.
21:17I know you've done as much for me.
21:19Well, anytime I can do something for you,
21:21just call on me.
21:22I'll be glad to do it.
21:24Now, you might do something for me at that.
21:27You might tell your mother
21:29that I'm not near as tough as she thinks I am.
21:31I already told her what you did to those three men,
21:33but she's still kind of mad.
21:35Women folks always get mad
21:36when they laugh at them, don't they?
21:40That's something for you to remember.
21:42Might save you a lot of trouble later on.
21:46Get away, Hoppy!
21:49What'd you call that dog?
21:50Hoppy?
21:51I named him after Hopalong Cassidy.
21:53Hopalong Cassidy?
21:55Yeah, you've heard of him, haven't you?
21:58No, can't say that I have.
22:00What?
22:01Well, everybody's heard about Hopalong Cassidy.
22:04Cassidy?
22:05Well, come to think of it,
22:07I have heard of him in some place.
22:10How'd you happen to name your dog after Cassidy?
22:12Well, I wanted to give him a name he'd be proud of.
22:15Next to my dad,
22:16I guess Hopalong Cassidy's the greatest fella I ever heard of.
22:20You know, I'll bet Cassidy'd be awful happy
22:22if he knew you felt that way about him.
22:24Well, I do.
22:25Marshal Holiday says he's the best gunfighter in the whole world.
22:29He's fair and he's square,
22:31and always helping folks when somebody's picking on him.
22:33That's what I'm gonna try to be like when I grow up.
22:36That's a good idea, son.
22:38I mean the part about giving the other fella an even break.
22:41Always playing square and helping folks when they need you.
22:45You'll never go far wrong so long as you got ideas like that.
22:49Well, I gotta be moving.
22:50So long.
22:51See you later.
22:52And be careful up here.
22:53I will.
22:59What's the matter, Lucky?
23:00They go on getting too tough for you?
23:01Meanest bunch of critters I ever saw.
23:02Look at them.
23:04Well, maybe they know it's gonna be their last ride.
23:07They'd come pretty near being his last ride.
23:09He nearly fell in a while ago.
23:12If a man fell in there,
23:13he wouldn't have one chance in a million coming out alive.
23:16I saw it happen once.
23:17Yeah, so did I, and I never want to see it again.
23:21Give me that fool.
23:23Come on, get in here.
23:28Lucky!
23:31Lucky!
24:02Deputy, get the doctor.
24:03Doc's out in the country on a case and won't be back till tomorrow.
24:06I guess I'll have to do this job myself, then.
24:08Get me your medicine cabinet.
24:10Joey, what's happened to him?
24:12The boy's leg is broken.
24:14Take it easy, son.
24:15This is gonna hurt a little.
24:16You leave him alone till the doctor gets here.
24:18Waiting for the doctor might be serious.
24:20Give me the scissors.
24:21I'd rather you'd wait for the doctor.
24:23The boy will be all right.
24:26Give me some iodine.
24:27Lucky, give me some iodine.
24:29Give me some iodine.
24:30Lucky, get something I can use for splints.
24:32You can't do this.
24:33He's my son.
24:34Well, I'm doing it.
24:35Now, please keep away.
24:37Marshal, Marshal,
24:38Joey's hurt, and this man won't wait for the doctor.
24:42Get a pan of water.
24:44Well, why don't you do something?
24:46Don't shoot, Marshal.
24:47I'll give up as soon as I finish this job.
24:51Young man,
24:52I ought to lock you up for fractured medicine without a license.
24:55Mrs. Joey,
24:56I want you to meet Hopalong Cassidy.
24:59You don't have to worry none about him.
25:01He's a regular surga...
25:04Oh, he's a regular fella.
25:07Oh, for goodness sake.
25:09Oh, I'm sorry.
25:10You mean about the molasses?
25:11Oh, that was fun.
25:13Are you really Hopalong Cassidy?
25:15That's what they call me, son.
25:17Give me some cotton, Lucky.
25:18Lie down, Joey.
25:19You'll hurt yourself.
25:20You don't need to worry about me now, Mom.
25:22I'll be all right.
25:30Oh.
25:35Yeah, there we go.
25:37Take it easy now.
25:40Wendy,
25:41you and Lucky report to Slim.
25:42I'll be out later.
25:43Tie Topper over there.
25:46Come on.
26:00Well, my part of the deal's all set.
26:02How about you?
26:03Everything's all ready as far as I'm concerned.
26:06It'd be a cinch to take care of the herd guards,
26:08and I've got a safe trail to the border all picked up.
26:11Well, that's fine.
26:12We can get away from here tomorrow night.
26:15Oh, Clanny, come here.
26:18Who's that?
26:20It's the Cactus Springs Marshal.
26:22Oh, yeah?
26:23Well, who's that with him?
26:24I don't know.
26:25Some stranger.
26:26I wonder if he has wind or something.
26:28Well, if he has,
26:29we'll close his little book right now, Harlet.
26:31Doing that will bring the whole neighborhood down on us
26:33before we're ready to move.
26:37When I get back to the ranch house,
26:38I'll find out from Mary
26:39if she heard anything about you in town this morning.
26:41Trina can pass the word back.
26:43All right.
26:57You can keep an eye on the ranch house from here.
26:59If I want you, I'll hang a rag in the tool shed window.
27:02I get it.
27:07We'd better get out and let him get some sleep.
27:15You think he'll be all right, Mr. Cassidy?
27:17Oh, sure.
27:19Young bones mend very fast.
27:21And besides, he's not the kind to give up so easily.
27:24I can't tell you how grateful I am.
27:26I was glad to do what I could.
27:29You know, I kind of like that boy of yours.
27:32He kind of likes you too, Huffy.
27:36I hope I never do anything to make him change his mind.
27:39I don't think you could.
27:55I'll ride by in the morning and see how he is.
28:00Um, this is my brother, Dan Bennett.
28:05Howdy, Bennett.
28:06My name is Hopalong Cassidy.
28:08How do you do?
28:09Mr. Cassidy is a friend of the Marshal's, Dan.
28:13My brother just returned from Mexico a few days ago.
28:17My brother just returned from Mexico a few days ago.
28:24Is that so?
28:26That's my old stamping ground down there.
28:30Was you down there long?
28:32Oh, yes, for the past five years.
28:36Negocio de ganano?
28:38You'll have to come again on that, mister.
28:40Don't you speak Spanish?
28:42I was never interested enough to learn the language.
28:46I just asked you what business you was in.
28:48Oh, I did a little mining down around Santa Rosita.
28:52Yeah, that's great mining country.
28:54Great ranching country too.
28:57A friend of mine owns the Gonzales Rancher down there.
28:59Did you ever hear of it?
29:00Of course, I know him well.
29:02As a matter of fact, I talked to him just the day before I left.
29:05That's funny.
29:07Gonzales has been dead over a year.
29:09His daughter's running the ranch.
29:11I may be referring to an entirely different Gonzales Ranch.
29:16Sure, maybe you are.
29:18What have you been telling Cassidy?
29:19Nothing.
29:20I don't like your attitude, Cassidy.
29:22What right have you got to cross-examine me?
29:24I wasn't aiming to, but so long as you're getting so head up over nothing,
29:28I'll make you a bet you've never been in Mexico.
29:30You calling me a liar?
29:31I'm sure he isn't lying, Mr. Cassidy.
29:33I'm afraid you're wrong, Mary.
29:35He's already crossed himself up twice,
29:38and I just begin to wonder what he's doing wearing a dead man's clothes.
29:42What are you trying to say?
29:46Those are bullet holes.
29:48Whoever had them clothes on last was dead when they hit the ground.
29:51Just a minute.
29:53I'll take care of that little trinket.
29:57Steep property, huh?
30:00All right, Cassidy, you're holding the aces.
30:02What next?
30:04We'll just put you away for safekeeping until Mary's cattle are shipped.
30:08You know, there's some rustlers around, and you might get mixed up in some bad company.
30:12You aren't going to take him to jail.
30:14I don't like doing it, Mary, but it looks like the only way out.
30:18It's better for everybody, for him as well as for us.
30:21But you can't do that. He'll be recognized.
30:23He'll be sent back to prison.
30:24Shut up!
30:27I don't like to be inquisitive, but I don't like working in the dark either.
30:31Go ahead and talk, Mary.
30:33What's the answer to all this?
30:34Mother!
30:37Please, please come outside.
30:43I'll be right back, Joy.
30:48That's far enough.
30:50If my boy finds out about all this now, it will destroy everything I've built up all these years.
30:54He'll lose his faith in everything, in everybody.
30:58Well, why should he?
31:00It's not the boy's fault that his uncle is a jailbird.
31:04He isn't my brother.
31:05He's Bob Joslyn, my husband.
31:08Joy's father.
31:10And you've got to let him get away.
31:13I have no right to.
31:14Please, for Joy's sake.
31:22All right.
31:24If you keep your mouth shut to that boy, I'll give you a chance to get out of the country.
31:28You're the only man that ever gave me an even break, Cassidy.
31:31And why shouldn't I accept it?
31:33I'll leave when it gets dark.
31:35I'll give him enough money to get away.
31:37That's fine.
31:38Mother, will you come here a minute, please?
31:40Right away.
31:42You better see what he wants now.
31:43Come by in the morning and see how he is.
31:45I'll never forget what you've done for me, Mr. Cassidy.
31:48Neither will I.
31:50Forget what you've done for me.
31:52The only thing I expect of you is to keep your mouth shut to that boy.
32:22Ah, gee, Ma.
32:43You don't need to baby me.
32:44I'll be all right.
32:45Of course you will, Joy.
32:47No, Ma.
32:49A fellow gets to do a lot of thinking when he's laid up this way.
32:52Yes? What's on your mind?
32:54Well, I was just thinking.
32:56Wouldn't it be swell to have a fellow like Hoppy around all the time?
32:59Well, it would be nice, Joy.
33:01But I hardly think we could get Mr. Cassidy to stay.
33:04Sure you can.
33:05You don't need to pay him anything.
33:07What do you mean?
33:08You could marry him.
33:10Oh, Joy.
33:11Why, I couldn't do that.
33:13You like him, don't you?
33:15Why, of course I like him very much.
33:17Well, then, what's stopping you?
33:19I bet he'd marry you in a minute if you asked him to.
33:22Lots of women will jump at the chance.
33:24No, Joy.
33:25We'll just go on keeping Mr. Cassidy the best friend we've ever had.
33:29Now, you go on back to sleep for a while.
33:31Ah, gee.
33:47Who are you, and what are you doing here?
34:10I ain't mean to no harm, lady.
34:13But I just wanted to see if I could borrow some tools to fix my stirrups.
34:17Stay where you are.
34:21You better put that thing down.
34:22It might go off.
34:24It'll go off, all right, unless you tell me the truth.
34:26Who are you, and what are you doing here?
34:28Well, you see, ma'am, it's this way.
34:30I was just going by.
34:32Nice work, Smokey.
34:34You still know how to think fast.
34:35Bob, he may be one of the rustlers.
34:37Now, ain't that just too bad?
34:39And old Cassidy's here to help you.
34:41So Cassidy was right after all.
34:43You are mixed up with Bailey's gang.
34:46Why, you're even rottener than I thought you were.
34:48I ain't interested in what you think of me.
34:50Come on.
34:52As Mr. Cassidy might say, it'll be safer for all concerned if you stay there until we get the cattle ship.
34:58Cassidy's suspicious.
34:59I gotta tip Bailey off.
35:01We might have to take that herd tonight.
35:03Now, you stay here.
35:04If anybody happens by, see that she doesn't have a chance to talk.
35:07Leave it to me.
35:12Let me out of here!
35:19You fellas want any more of this stew before I throw it out?
35:22No.
35:23I'll take some more coffee, Cookie.
35:24Coming right up, cowboy.
35:26Hey, where'd them tracks you fellas saw this morning?
35:29Up on the ridge.
35:31I've got an idea there's Bailey or some of his men spying on us.
35:34As soon as Hoppy gets back, we'll ride out and look around.
35:37If there's any funny business going on, I'll darn soon find it out.
35:42Yeah, well, Hoppy may be sometime getting out here.
35:46You know, I think I'll have a ride up on that ridge and have a look for myself.
35:49You?
35:50Heh, where do you expect to find him?
35:52Boy, you couldn't find teeth in a comb.
35:55What do you know about teeth?
35:57Don't you get personal with me, young fella.
36:00You'll find out you're dealing with the law.
36:03Andy, I apologize for offending your dignity.
36:06After all, teeth or no teeth, what difference does it make?
36:09You know, a marshal's supposed to shoot a criminal, not fight him.
36:13You darn tootin'.
36:15I'll close your trap before I have to close it for you.
36:19I'd better get out of here before he loses his temper.
36:21How about me going along with you, kid?
36:23I know where the tracks are.
36:24You know, I've always wanted to see how you Bar 20 men work.
36:27Sure, glad to have your company.
36:29Better keep an eye on him, Red.
36:31You know, he gets dumb enough to get you both lost.
36:35Well, if we do, we're sent for a real marshal to come out and find us.
36:48I don't know that we ought to let that kid go tramping off that way.
36:51Oh, don't you worry about Lucky.
36:53He's been out with me long enough to know how to do things right.
37:02Right here's where we saw the tracks.
37:04I wonder. It's easy to follow. It's a signboard.
37:07Let's track our way.
37:09All right.
37:31There he goes.
38:01He's got a bad one there.
38:26Shall I go back and get help, Mr. Cassidy?
38:28No, we'd better get him back to camp.
38:32I'll get this stopped here.
38:35Feeling better, Lucky?
38:37Well, I'm still seeing a few stars.
38:39Don't worry, Hoppy. I'll be all right.
38:41I'm afraid you won't pull through, Hoppy.
38:43That'd make you mad, wouldn't it?
38:45Oh, stop it, both of you.
38:47You're liable to be laid up for a couple of weeks.
38:49I'm going to send you back to the ranch in the chuck wagon.
38:51No, you don't, Hoppy.
38:52You may need every gun you've got out here.
38:54I can still shoot.
38:55You heard what I said. You're going back to the ranch.
38:58But, Hoppy, I'll miss all the fun.
39:00Besides, you need me.
39:01By night, we'll have more men out here than we can use.
39:03Wendy's going into town after him now.
39:05Oh, Hoppy, I...
39:06Will you quit your arguing?
39:07Come on, boys.
39:08All right.
39:16All right, Cookie, get started.
39:17All right, Hoppy.
39:18All right, Hoppy.
39:30See you later, Hoppy.
39:31All right, Wendy.
39:33Say, Slim, I want to take a look at that country over the other side of the herd there.
39:38We can figure out so each one of us can have a section for guard duty.
39:41All right, we'll go along with you.
39:42Fine.
39:43Come on, boys.
40:01How about giving Cassidy a little welcome, boys?
40:03Sure, let's give him the stranger song.
40:07Hi there, stranger.
40:09It's a mighty fine treat and a pleasure to meet you.
40:11Hi there, stranger.
40:13Mighty proud to be here and a pleasure to greet you.
40:15These old wranglers extend a welcome hand.
40:20There's no danger.
40:22We're brothers of the land.
40:24You'll come right handy.
40:26We can share our grub, let our elbows rub from the Rio Grande of the known.
40:31Holy area, we'll spread our bed where the wild coyotes roam.
40:37So hi there, stranger.
40:39You can call this camp your home.
40:41Well, hi there, stranger.
40:43It's a mighty fine treat and a pleasure to meet you.
40:46Hi there, stranger.
40:47Mighty proud to be here and a pleasure to greet you.
40:50This old wrangler extends a feeble hand.
40:54There's no danger.
40:56We're brothers of the land.
40:58You'll come right handy.
41:00We can share our grub, let our elbows rub from the Rio Grande of the known.
41:06Holy area, we'll spread our bed where the wild coyotes roam.
41:12So hi there, stranger.
41:14You can call this camp your home.
41:24Well, if that's the way it stacks up, I'm for moving in on the herd right now.
41:29No, we'd better wait till it gets dark.
41:31Why should we?
41:32They've only got six or seven men guarding the whole herd.
41:35It'll be easy for us.
41:36Yeah, well, don't fool yourself about that, Cassidy, not being smart and fast.
41:40If it hadn't been for Mary and the kid, I'd be sweating in a one-horse jail right now.
41:44Well, all I want is one more chance at him.
41:47Yeah, you'll get that soon enough.
41:48Get the boys together, we'll ride back down to the ranch.
41:50Why don't we just stay here until it gets dark?
41:52It's a shorter ride to the range.
41:54It may be shorter, but not healthier.
41:56Cassidy might take a notion to go snooping around and coming this way with some of his men.
42:00Why take chances when you don't have to?
42:02Come on, let's go.
42:03Fred! Bill!
42:04Come on, boys, mount up.
42:34Who?
42:36Mrs. Joyce!
42:40Mrs. Joyce ain't home.
42:42She went into town.
42:43Well, who are you?
42:45I just went to work for her this morning.
42:47She left me here to take care of the place.
42:49Sounds kind of fishy to me.
42:51I don't like that fella's looks.
42:55Watch out, Cookie, that's one of the men Hoppy tangled with in town.
42:59Watch out, Cookie, that's one of the men Hoppy tangled with in town.
43:02There's something wrong here.
43:04I'll soon find out.
43:05Stay right where you are, mister.
43:07We want to find out if you think.
43:29Lucky, are you all right?
43:31Sure, I'm all right, but what's it all about?
43:33I'll tell you as soon as I get Joy. We got to get out of here.
43:50Hang on tight, Joy.
43:59Now, now, now, now!
44:23What's happened, Tex?
44:24The Joyce woman.
44:25In the chuck wagon, on her way to Cassidy.
44:27We got to stop her, Bailey, before she gets formed.
44:58They're going to overtake us. We'll never make the camp.
45:00All you can do is keep trying, Joy.
45:27Get down.
45:47Drop that gun.
45:52Bailey, you take care of the herd.
45:54I'll stay here and take care of the horses.
45:57family until you're in the clear right come on boys let's go
46:08make yourself at home mrs. Joyce sit down what are you gonna do uncle Dan uncle

46:53away from the range yeah I know I don't want to get him into that past oh there's
46:58no grass in there I know that it'll be a safer place to home in case somebody
47:01wants this herd oh I get it we start the cows into the past yeah and hold them
47:06there till when to get here with more men I might known you had something in
47:09mind when you first swung the herd now let's get him in there
