00:00Champion, the Wonder Horse. Champion, the Wonder Horse.
00:10Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.
00:13Like a swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow.
00:17Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.
00:21You'll hear about him everywhere you go.
00:24The time will come when everyone will know the name of
00:28Champion, the Wonder Horse.
00:47Hello there! Hello there!
00:51I wonder who that is. Be right there!
00:59Hello. You call me? Hello.
01:03Hi. Just wanted to know if we're headed right for the Benson Ranch.
01:06The Benson Ranch? Well, it's only about a half a mile.
01:09Turn left at the next side road. But nobody lives there.
01:13Somebody's going to live there, though.
01:15Meaning us. We bought it. I'm Hal Collier. This is my wife, Beth.
01:19Gee, then you're going to be our new neighbors. Come on. I'll show you.
01:24Well, the first neighbor we meet seems to like it.
01:27And I like him, even though he forgot to tell us his name.
01:38Don't you worry about being strangers here.
01:41My Uncle Sandy and I will help you out with everything.
01:44And so will all the other neighbors.
01:46Well, we're certainly lucky if they're all like you, Becky.
01:49Well, thanks. But there's really lots of nice folks around here.
01:52But I'm sure you're the only one that has a wonderful horse and dog like yours.
01:55Oh, I know how lucky I am.
01:57Well, I promise to meet Uncle Sandy when he gets back from town.
02:00Goodbye. But not for long.
02:08Say goodbye for now, champ.
02:11I hope we see a lot of you in town, Ricky.
02:14I'll bring Uncle Sandy over as soon as I can.
02:16I guess he wants to shake hands to say his goodbye.
02:19You're beautiful, Grandpa.
02:22Adios, boy.
02:23Bye. Goodbye.
02:25It's going to be a new life, Hal.
02:28It sure is for me.
02:31And I'm going to like it.
02:40Well, looks like Uncle Sandy's late for a change.
02:44Might as well go back now, champ.
03:09You kind of look forward to killing a man, don't you, Murph?
03:12If somebody's after me like that marshal we're waiting for, why not?
03:15When you get a little bit older, you get more sense.
03:18You may not want to do it, but you have to.
03:21When you get older, you get soft.
03:23You mean me? I ain't too soft.
03:29There's our marshal.
03:32All right, let's go.
03:42Let's go.
04:13Oops.
04:32Hey, look at that stallion.
04:34I'm looking.
04:37Eh, just a local mustang.
04:40That's all. Let's get moving.
05:11Uncle Sandy will help you.
05:14Hey!
05:19I was just teaching Rebel to be an alarm clock.
05:21I guess I fell asleep.
05:23You guessed.
05:24What were you dreaming about, me helping somebody?
05:26Helping?
05:28Oh, the Cahiers.
05:30They just moved on to the old Benson place.
05:32They're going to be swell neighbors, but they're strange around here.
05:35Oh, well, that's easy enough to fix.
05:37We could use some good neighbors on that place.
05:40Champ, that's funny.
05:43I sent him back to the herd a long time ago.
05:47What's bothering you, Champ?
05:49Something sure is when he acts like that.
05:51Let's have a look.
06:07Hold on.
06:25Bullet wounds.
06:28This is the job for the coroner.
06:32Goodbye, Champ.
06:47Here we are.
06:48As good a hideout spot as you'll find in the West.
06:50I don't see no hideout.
06:52That's what makes it so good.
06:55Not bad.
07:26See?
07:28This is all right.
07:30You bet it is.
07:32Only, uh, what if the Jasper that owns this spread comes nosing around?
07:36No chance of that.
07:38This whole ranch has been abandoned for years.
07:40Some old geezer by the name of Benson.
07:43How long do you figure we're going to stay here?
07:45For a week after we pull that job in town, until the heat's off.
07:48You sure plan far ahead, Lucas.
07:51That's how I stayed away from the law for so long.
07:54I feel lucky.
07:56How about some blackjack?
07:58How about sticking to business and letting me know how we work tomorrow?
08:01Nothing much to tell.
08:03We ride into town, stick up the cattleman's office,
08:06ride off with their bankroll for the year's stock sales.
08:09I suppose you've got it all fixed for the local sheriff to hold our horses for us.
08:13Like you told me, I plan ahead.
08:16I'm counting on the blackjack.
08:18Like you told me, I plan ahead.
08:20I'm counting on the local law to keep on trying to find out who bushwhacked that marshal.
08:27Sheriff got any idea who did the killing?
08:29No, the dead man's a stranger.
08:31No identification on him, so we can't even figure out a reason.
08:34Well, I'd better get to my horse and join that posse.
08:36Want me to ride with you?
08:38No need for that. I just stopped by to warn you there might be outlaws around.
08:41Thank you, Mr. North. We'll keep our eyes open.
08:44And Uncle Sandy wanted to meet you, too.
08:46Guess I couldn't wait when Ricky told me about you.
08:48Mighty happy to have you as neighbors.
08:50Anything I can do to help?
08:51Oh, not right now. Thanks just the same.
08:53How about you, Mrs. Collier?
08:54Well, all I need right now is curtain material for these windows.
08:57Is there a good store in town?
08:58Sure. I'll pick you up and drive you in tomorrow.
09:01Oh, well, that isn't necessary.
09:03You'll be happy to do it, Miss Collier.
09:05Well, all right, then. Thank you.
09:06I'll come for you early.
09:08Come on, young fella. I'd better join that posse or I'll miss it.
09:12A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have believed I'd be offered to ride with a posse
09:15instead of running away from one.
09:17Don't even think about it.
09:19We left all that behind us in Texas.
09:22I look back now, I can't believe it was me.
09:25Oh, you were young.
09:27And you never killed anybody.
09:29And, well, anyhow, it's all over.
09:32Yes, ma'am.
09:34I got cured of trying to earn my living with a gun
09:36by the two best doctors in the world.
09:38Doctors?
09:39Well, the judge was a doctor in a way
09:41when he described the penitentiary sentence.
09:44The other doctor was you.
09:46Oh, you're sweet, darling, but you really cured yourself.
09:49No.
09:50I couldn't have done it if you hadn't trusted me to go straight and marry me.
09:55I don't want an argument on that.
09:57All right, Sid.
09:58You're the boss in this family.
10:00If you say I'm a doctor, I'll be a doctor.
10:03I just hope that nice folks like Ricky and Sandy
10:05never find out about me.
10:07You know, if they're real friends,
10:09it might be better to tell them.
10:11No, it wouldn't be.
10:13Maybe in a year or so.
10:15I've got to prove myself first.
10:17I suppose you're right.
10:19If the other folks found out about me now,
10:21they wouldn't trust either of us.
10:23And I don't want you to suffer for something I did.
10:26Ho!
10:29I'll come in with you.
10:31Think you'll be much help in picking up the phone?
10:33Sorry, I'm a little busy.
10:35You're ready to go.
10:37I'll be back in a minute.
10:39I'll be right back.
10:41Bye-bye.
10:42Bye-bye.
10:43Bye-bye.
10:44Bye-bye.
10:45Bye-bye.
10:46Bye-bye.
10:47Bye-bye.
10:48Bye-bye.
10:49Bye-bye.
10:50Bye-bye.
10:51Bye-bye.
10:52Bye-bye.
10:53Bye-bye.
10:54Bye-bye.
10:55be much help in picking out curtain material well maybe not I can help you get acquainted
10:59with folks. The boys are together over there all set.
11:17Back message you should be doing a minute now you follow him and the boys will follow
11:23you and I'll cover the street. There's the message you know.
12:23If only there'd been
12:36a law officer around the sheriff's out with a posse looking for ever kill that stranger
12:41might be the same man that's what I think I'll take you home and get champ and find
12:46the sheriff and I'll go see. You're.
13:16This horse is through his legs swelling up. I can't make it to the hideout either
13:24a footer with my horse carrying doubles but what are we supposed to do sit here and wait
13:28for the posse to come. The old Benson house is just around this bend we can hide out there
13:35for a while and maybe fix up his legs. Like
13:53a lot of luck somebody's moved in I wouldn't say we were out of luck we can get on and
13:57grab off that saddle or just hope we don't run into any trouble it would bring the posse
14:01around that's the chance we'll have to take. Well I'll be doggone.
14:09I can plug in from here next time he comes outside won't have to plug in he'll lend us
14:20the horse land I'll come pal I used to work with you saddle a fresh horse while I talk
14:58Lucas howdy partner and expect to meet you so far from home there was
15:03a killing in town yesterday were you mixed up in it. Don't you know better than to ask
15:08a man a question like that. I don't know what brought you here Lucas but get out I'm through
15:13I'm going to live different than I used to. Yeah I heard back in Texas how you was getting
15:18married turned irrespectable. That's how it is I can't blame you I tried going straight
15:24two or three times myself once but somehow or other my foot always slipped mine isn't
15:30going to slip what do you want nothing much. I'm going to borrow that saddle horse outside
15:36for a friend of mine you're getting no help from me and kind of rationed you have.
15:41I had a wife as beautiful as this my wife knows all about me yeah folks around here do too I
15:53thought not. I might not like it if I had
15:56an ex-convict for a neighbor because it's tough on the wife too. I'm for you. The man's
16:04got to look out for himself. You'll just let me have that horse to be the last you see
16:09of me. Take
16:15a look outside.
16:22My partner is not like I am how. It is soon kill a man to shake hands or a woman.
16:30This new life for yours could be spoiled so easily. If you don't use common sense.
16:40I wish you luck just the same so long have.
16:42I wish you luck just the same so long have.
17:12I wish you luck just the same so long have.
17:43I don't see any critical material practically in the middle of a hole in the middle did
17:49get into it you try to sleep over one of the outlaws. What's the matter. Nothing I just
17:56hate to think of it being so near danger can I leave the book for here while I go to find
18:00the posse sure you're not going to get into anything are you I don't know and anyway I'll
18:04have champ and rebel.
18:13Mr Collier that's not your horse out there.
18:20Sure isn't what happened. I was working in the house I didn't hear anything I'll go
18:26see what's bothering rebel.
18:31Nothing happened nothing I know about anyway. You find something rebel.
18:43You.
18:49Can't.
18:57Never find a sense I think the outlaw we saw in town was the one that stole your horse
19:02left his What are you going to do maybe I can find out where he went rebel can follow
19:06the trail you must be tricky it's too dangerous I'll be all right I won't get too close.
19:13To.
19:22Her Ricky must be right horses all lathered up there is something wrong. Honey I just
19:30learned a lesson from what Ricky's doing take one wrong step to protect yourself and somebody
19:35else pays for it.
19:43And.
19:51How are you going. After Ricky. I lied to you about. Those outlaws were here.
20:02With someone you used to know yes it was. When I lied to you I thought I was doing it
20:08for your good. That's a mistake I have straightened out right now.
20:39I.
20:51After I will find it again.
21:08Me.
21:15To call you.
21:24See anybody Ricky rebel acted like he was close to something up there. I'll go have
21:29a look and I can't be too dangerous rebel locates the man local city in the sheriff
21:34or somewhere around me we should find them first I can't wait I've got a special reason
21:40for tackling this job see you later.
21:46I only knew where to start looking.
21:50We can see better from over there.
22:05There.
22:27That's. Even we can't.
22:34Still can't figure it out rebel. Their footprints all right they stopped right here.
22:52Reach Lucas. I thought we made
22:55a deal how we didn't make a deal I got scared I was a mistake you should still be scared
23:01for your life's sake I might have given you
23:03a break if you hadn't threatened that. I'm taking you in.
23:16I know it was champ sure if there is.
23:22Any Mr Collier who's outlaws tell me later sure if that shooting is coming from up here.
23:31I.
24:01Don't know.
24:20How you're. Not good.
24:27That's the whole story there's only
24:29one part of the story house left out I don't care what the people around here are going
24:33to think I'm proud of. I think you're going to have plenty of company man I mean you're
24:38not going to hold anything against me the only thing I hold against is the fact you
24:42went after those outlaws alone and gave us a lot of trouble getting it down here she
24:46actually said he didn't mean that I just hope the other folks around won't make it hard
24:50on death when they find out about me serving time in Texas said they're going to find out
24:55did you send it but I remember sure you mean you want going to tell people all the sheriff
25:00Ricky and I aren't the only other two that know a rebel and champ I'm sure they will
25:05tell about it rebel.
25:12And how much.
25:26I.
25:31Like.
25:36From above.
25:40Seems.
25:43To go.
25:46When I.
25:55When I.
