Transcript
00:00Well, that was a long, tough day, little pal.
00:19I could really use some shut-eye.
00:20Hey.
00:21Good night, Mr. Callahan.
00:22Good night, Dusty.
00:23Good night, Andy.
00:24Good night, Dusty.
00:25Enough of the good nights already, huh?
00:26Let's get some sleep.
00:27Sure thing.
00:28Good night, little Petey.
00:31Please, can we get some sleep?
00:37Holy smoke.
00:40Holy smoke what?
00:41Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Brooklay, man.
00:45Now, set.
00:46Cover everybody.
00:49Let's get some sleep.
00:54Huh, doesn't take him very long, does it?
00:58A killer tornado!
01:28Good morning, Mr. Brookhaven, doing your morning exercises, huh?
01:57No, I'm just checking my wallet.
01:59Good morning, Dusty.
02:01Good morning, Mrs. Brookhaven.
02:02You know, it's quite warm today.
02:04Would you ask Mr. Callahan to please head north?
02:07Mrs. Brookhaven, we're headed for California. That's west.
02:10Not northern California.
02:23Hey, Dusty, never mind the fire.
02:25We've got to get out of here pronto.
02:26What's wrong? What's wrong, Mr. Callahan?
02:28Listen, what do you hear?
02:29I hear a lot of ringing.
02:30No, no, the air. It's warm.
02:32A little touch of moisture, slight breeze.
02:34You think we're in for a storm?
02:36Worse than that, a killer tornado.
02:37But it's such a nice day.
02:39That's how killer tornadoes start.
02:40Everything is beautiful, and then all of a sudden, wham, bam!
02:43I hate tornadoes.
02:44I had an uncle once who lived in Kansas City who once got caught by a tornado.
02:46I thought your uncle lived in Cleveland.
02:48That was before the tornado.
02:49Yeah, well, never mind about that. Get the horses, will you?
02:51Right away.
02:52If we don't make it to Hidden Canyon in a double, I'll tell you we're in a lot of trouble.
02:55And the party was wiped out on this very same trail.
02:57How much time do you figure we got before it hits?
02:59I don't know, a day, day and a half, maybe.
03:01I'd better alert the brocade.
03:02Good idea, good thinking. I'll go check the map.
03:04We've got to get to Hidden Canyon.
03:06Girls, secure everything in there. We have got to roll and fast.
03:10Oh, good. I just love to feel that cool breeze on my face.
03:13You're going to feel a breeze, all right.
03:14Is there some kind of problem?
03:16No, not if I can find that shortcut to Hidden Canyon.
03:26Don't tell me.
03:30Horses are all set, Mr. Kelly.
03:31Yeah, maybe they're all set, but we're not.
03:33What do you mean?
03:34I can't find the map, the map to Hidden Canyon.
03:36All right, all right.
03:38One map, we got to Hidden Canyon, it's lost.
03:45A killer tornado?
03:46Are you sure?
03:47Just look up there.
03:50I'm telling you something, if that tornado hits this wagon train,
03:53we're going to be picked up and blown around like a feather.
03:55I just did my hair.
03:57Don't worry about your hair. Believe me, if that tornado hits,
04:00all we got to do is find the map.
04:02Couldn't we just leave without the map?
04:04Look, I'm going to tell you, that map's got to be around here someplace.
04:06The wind must have blown it away.
04:08We'll help you look for it.
04:10Do you smell something?
04:12Like something burning.
04:18Oh, Al, your blanket.
04:21You can wear it like this.
04:23Never mind the blanket, let's just go find the map,
04:26or we're going to be blown all the way to Laredo.
04:28Laredo? Where's Laredo?
04:29It's in Texas, about 800 miles south.
04:31Never mind, just help me find the map.
04:50That's me.
04:54Here, I'll tell you what we'll do, little pal.
04:57You go over that way, and I'll go over this way.
04:59It's got to be around here somewhere.
05:08Oh, Lulu. Oh, I can see you didn't find the map, either, did you?
05:11Sorry, Cal.
05:12Hey, what's the matter? What are you walking like that for?
05:14I threw a shoe.
05:16You're really worried about that old tornado, aren't you?
05:18I'll tell you something, honey.
05:19You put my worries on a scale from 1 to 10, they measure about 15.
05:22Mr. Callahan, look what I found.
05:25An old cavalry canteen and some ancient Indian jewelry,
05:28which is quite valuable, I suppose.
05:30And I found these luscious-looking blueberries.
05:33They're going to be marvelous with cream, if I can find a cow.
05:37Hey, don't you remember we're supposed to be looking for a map?
05:40Oh, yes, I've forgotten that tornado.
05:44Let's have another look for that map, dear.
05:45The scale just went to 20. It has to be...
05:47There's not a sign of the map anywhere.
05:49Look, why can't we just start riding without it?
05:52Honey, we got to find Hidden Canyon or we got no chance, and I need the map to...
05:56Mr. Callahan, my gold locket's missing.
05:58Are you sure?
05:59I'm positive.
06:00She's right. We were looking for the map, and there was a gold locket. Gone.
06:03It was like great-great-grandmother's.
06:04That's odd. Now, first the map is missing, now the gold locket is missing.
06:07Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You think there's a connection?
06:09Oh, sure. Whoever stole the gold locket wrapped it up in the map.
06:12Dusty.
06:13Yeah?
06:14No, no, no.
06:15Come on, Bessie. We'll look for your locket. They can look for the map.
06:19You really sure about this tornado?
06:21As sure as my name is Callahan, Andy. Believe me when I tell...
06:26Hi, Harry. You want some baked beans?
06:30Harry?
06:31What's the matter with you? Are you crazy? Birds don't eat baked beans.
06:35This one does.
06:37That one's over 200 miles from his natural habitat.
06:40Now, he's scared of something, and I'll bet it's that tornado.
06:43I know. You're right about that.
06:44You know, animals and birds, they have an instinct about these things.
06:48Hey, man, I mean to tell you, we've got to find that map, pronto.
06:55Hey, what's the matter with you? Are you crazy?
06:56We've got to get going. We've got to find that map.
06:58Yeah, but I just want to give him some beans. Here, hold this for a minute, will you?
07:06My emerald. My koala emerald. It's gone.
07:09Oh, Daphne, please remember, calm down. It's insured.
07:13Carter, it's your insurance company.
07:16Good heavens, so it is.
07:18It's a lot of commotion. Let's find the map.
07:20Mrs. Brookhaven's emerald is missing.
07:23Everything seems to be missing. I think my belt buckle is gone.
07:26What makes you think that?
07:27This.
07:30Dusty, for crying out loud, will you cover up?
07:33I heard a scream.
07:34Yeah, well, Miss Brookhaven here lost an emerald, and he's lost a belt buckle.
07:37Yeah, but I thought I heard a scream.
07:38You did. It's the one that raised my hands like this.
07:42Please.
07:43Callahan, can I see you for a moment?
07:44Yeah, sure. Excuse us, will you? And Dusty, keep your hands in your pockets.
07:48What is it, Andy?
07:49Look, there's something strange going on around here.
07:51My college ring is missing.
07:53Lulu just reported one of her earrings gone, and there's Betsy's locket.
07:56There's got to be a thief around here someplace.
07:58Exactly.
07:59Yeah, but why would he steal a map? That has no value.
08:02On the contrary, a map's got great value.
08:05While we're out looking for the map, he figures we'll stay put in one place.
08:09Well, the varmint picks us clean.
08:11But there's one thing he may not know about.
08:14About the tornado.
08:15Aha, yeah, we got him there. A tornado come along and blow...
08:19Yeah, blow him away with the rest of us.
08:21Unless we catch him first and get the map back.
08:24Maybe if we leave out something of value where he can see it, we might trap him.
08:28Good idea.
08:29Maybe Miss Brookhaven will give us something valuable from her jewel box as a decoy.
08:33No, no, she's screaming like a wounded coyote now over that emerald.
08:37Unless, uh...
08:38Unless what?
08:41You keep the girls busy for a little while. I got me an idea.
08:48You want me to talk to the Brookhavens?
08:50That's right. But get them away from the coach before you do it. Wait till I'm through.
08:54Through with what?
08:55Well, never mind. I'll tell you later. Because if I told you, now you'd talk to them about that.
08:59I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
09:01Oh.
09:02Just get them away from the coach and keep them for about five minutes.
09:05Five minutes? Nobody's ever talked to me for that long, especially the Brookhavens. What am I going to talk about?
09:09I don't know. Whatever you've got in common.
09:11In common with the Brookhavens?
09:12Yeah.
09:14I know just the thing.
09:15Oh.
09:22Mr. and Mrs. Brookhaven, I hate to disturb you when you're resting, but...
09:24Oh, we're simply exhausted from searching for that map.
09:28Yeah, well, I want to talk to you about something.
09:30About our period of exhaustion?
09:32Yeah, well, it's very important, or I wouldn't, you know, interrupt your period of exhaustion.
09:36Oh, very well, Dusty. What is it you want to discuss?
09:39Well, I can't talk about it here. It's a very private thing. Couldn't we talk about it over there?
09:43But it's so comfortable here. Couldn't we discuss it here?
09:46Certainly. We have no secrets from the others, so whatever it is you have to say, speak up.
09:51I want to talk to you about my life savings.
09:54Daphne, Dusty, wishing to discuss money. Come along, dear.
10:19Now then, Dusty, what was that about your life savings?
10:24I was thinking about putting them in a bank.
10:26Oh, Mr. Brookhaven owns many banks.
10:28Oh, yeah. Some of the branches of my banks have branches of their own.
10:33Like a money tree.
10:46What are they safe from robbers?
10:48Impenetrable.
10:49Yeah, but are they safe?
10:51Mr. Brookhaven means that our banks and all our strongboxes are under lock and key.
10:59But what if somebody tries to break the lock?
11:02A Brookhaven safety steel guaranteed for life lock?
11:06Huh, impossible.
11:12See, Dusty, you need have no fear when you deal with a Brookhaven bank.
11:17Our strongboxes have never been entered.
11:29Okay, I'll do it. I'll give you my life savings.
11:32It's right here in my piggy bank.
11:35Piggy bank?
11:36Good heavens, Carter, don't touch it.
11:38Pigs are such unclean creatures.
11:41Piggy bank, indeed.
11:43Come, Daphne.
11:48Hey, look what I got. Isn't that a sparkler?
11:52Oh, it's a perfect decoy.
11:54Hey, I bet you that's worth a lot of money.
11:56Hey, I'll just put that over there.
11:59And then tonight, they'll catch the firelight and sparkler. We'll catch that thief.
12:04Callahan, look.
12:08What?
12:09Well, if there hadn't been anybody here, it couldn't have happened.
12:12We're up against a real criminal.
12:13I know, and I'm going to be up against a very mad Mrs. Brookhaven.
12:17Uh, all right, wait a minute.
12:19No, I know what to do.
12:20Tonight, we will set a trap for that thief.
12:23A real trap.
12:25All right, get it off of him. Get it off of him. We got him.
12:29What? Dusty?
12:38Will you sit still? Let us get this thing off of you, Dusty.
12:41Thanks for getting that fishnet off me.
12:43That's not a fishnet. That was a trap.
12:45For a mysterious thief.
12:47I can't believe it. I just can't believe it was you, Dusty.
12:50But, well, never mind. Give a salute.
12:53Okay, I admit it. You caught me in the act.
12:56Hey, Brad, what's bread?
12:58For Harry.
12:59Who's Harry?
13:00That's the bird. You know, he likes baked beans and bread.
13:02Dusty!
13:03What about the valuables?
13:04And the map. That's the most important thing.
13:06The map and the valuables?
13:07Yeah, we've got to get the map to get back on the trail.
13:09Before the tornado hits.
13:11Well, that's a pretty terrific idea, but there's only one problem.
13:13What?
13:14I don't have any of those things.
13:15Dusty.
13:16If you don't believe me, you don't believe me.
13:18I don't have any of those things.
13:19Dusty.
13:20If you don't believe me, you can search.
13:27Wardrobe.
13:28Harry has quite an appetite.
13:30That's my fishhook.
13:32Now you tell me, huh?
13:34He's right. There's nothing here.
13:36Mr. Callahan, I'm innocent.
13:38Hold it.
13:39Maybe Dusty's telling the truth and maybe he's guilty, too.
13:42What are you talking about?
13:43I remember reading in a medical journal about some people
13:46who have this unstoppable desire to steal things,
13:48even from their closest friends.
13:50It's called kleptomania.
13:52I've never even been to that country.
13:53Kleptomania is a sickness.
13:55Now, basically, these are honest people,
13:58but they block this from their mind like it never happened.
14:01Well, you mean he could have taken those things from us and not even know it?
14:04Exactly.
14:05Now, I know a little about hypnosis.
14:07I could put Dusty under.
14:09Under what?
14:10Put him to sleep.
14:11Oh.
14:12To see if unconsciously he's avoiding the truth.
14:14Dusty, do you really think you took those things from us?
14:18I don't know, but if I didn't know,
14:20maybe I did know that I didn't know that I didn't know.
14:23That I knew.
14:24That I know that I didn't know.
14:30Remember, Dusty, we're your friends.
14:32We want to help you.
14:33Did you find anything out yet?
14:35Yeah, we found out that when he's unconscious,
14:37he's just the same as when he's conscious.
14:39Well, I'm going to keep looking for the map.
14:43One, two, three.
14:48Hi, Dusty.
14:49Hi.
14:50Hey, hi there, little pal.
14:51Hi, Dusty.
14:52I want you to tell us everything you did yesterday.
14:54Sure.
14:55Well, now, what did you do after you watered the horses?
14:57Was I supposed to do that?
15:01Right.
15:02What did you do after you didn't water the horses?
15:06I tried to fix the harness.
15:07Harness?
15:08I accidentally caught on the spokes of the wheel.
15:10Yeah, that's what happened to the...
15:12Now, Dusty, this is very important.
15:15Did you enter the Brookhaven's coach at any time?
15:18Yes.
15:19Ah, there you are.
15:20If he went in the coach and took the jewels,
15:22he also took the map.
15:23Dusty, why did you go in the Brookhaven's coach?
15:27To put out the fire.
15:28Fire?
15:29The one that started when I dropped the lantern.
15:37It's so sad, Carter.
15:39My dear, with a tornado approaching,
15:42we must make final arrangements.
15:45Please read it back to me.
15:50To my board of directors,
15:53as my last act on this earth,
15:57I leave the bulk of my estate to the Massachusetts home
16:01for millionaires.
16:04The rich are always discriminated against.
16:10TORNADO
16:15See that?
16:16I can't even play Mumbly Peg right.
16:18Dusty, stop condemning yourself.
16:20Everybody's gonna be killed by that tornado,
16:21and it's all my fault.
16:23Dusty, you're wrong.
16:24Andy said you didn't remember stealing a thing.
16:27Well, maybe I'm so good at covering my tracks,
16:28I don't even know I'm the thief.
16:30Hey, you want something to eat?
16:31Yeah, how about a steak, some hash browns,
16:32and a big slice of apple pie?
16:34Ah, you know we don't have that kind of stuff.
16:37I thought a condemned man got anything he wanted.
16:38You're not a condemned man.
16:40You haven't done anything wrong.
16:42Maybe I haven't, maybe I haven't.
16:45Dusty, look!
16:46On top of your head, a big bird!
16:48The one you were feeding.
16:50Oh, girl, you don't have to cheer me up.
16:51It's no use.
16:52The map! He's got the map!
16:53What's going on here?
16:54Mr. Callaghan, look, the raven.
16:56He's got the map.
16:57I can see he's got the map.
16:58Don't anybody move!
17:05Follow that bird!
17:09He's probably got our jewelry, too.
17:11Stand back, everybody.
17:12Hey, don't shoot him, Mr. Callaghan.
17:14I'm not going to shoot him,
17:15I'm just going to scare him so he'll drop the map.
17:17He's my friend, let me talk to him.
17:19Well, if anybody knows what's going on in a bird's brain,
17:22he does.
17:29Hey, look at this.
17:31My locket.
17:33My earring.
17:35And everything else that was missing.
17:37Well, get the map!
17:40Oh, well, here's some more bread, some baked beans,
17:44and...
17:46he eats worms.
17:48Well, hurry up and get the map!
17:51Mr. Callaghan, look!
17:53What?
17:56Yeah, but he's still got the map!
17:58Don't worry, I'll get it.
18:04Hi, Harry.
18:05Hi, Harry.
18:07Nice, Harry.
18:08Don't eat the map, Harry.
18:10Let me have it.
18:11Come on, boy.
18:12Come on, I'll give you a whole slice of bread.
18:15Center cut, with a worm.
18:22Cave.
18:23All right, you get Mrs. Brookhaven and the coach,
18:25and pull and secure all those grapes, will you?
18:27All right, look, we're going to pull out of here
18:29as soon as he gets back with the map.
18:30Tie that thing down tight.
18:31Right.
18:32Mr. Callaghan, come quick,
18:33I got Harry trapped in the cave with the map.
18:34Cave? What cave?
18:35Over there, behind those rocks.
18:36It's too late now, look!
18:43All right, everybody in the cave!
18:46Come on, girls.
18:47Hey!
19:03I know the way!
19:04Everybody, follow me!
19:11Mr. Callaghan!
19:13Pass me!
19:14You look after the Brookhavens,
19:15and I'll look after the horses.
19:17Okay, I'll help you!
19:23My channel!
19:24My precious horse,
19:25and we have to save it!
19:38My service for 12!
19:40Don't you need service for 250?
19:42My securities!
19:44I left them in the stagecoach!
19:46I'll help you get them!
19:57Cave's over there!
20:00Put your back to the wind!
20:11Hi, Lulu!
20:13I'm not Lulu!
20:15I'm Mr. Callaghan!
20:17Get this thing off of me!
20:19Okay, but I think you've got a nice seat.
20:21Yes!
20:22Come on, we've got to get to that cave!
20:34Will you come on?
20:41I didn't think it would be this far!
20:52Hey, Justin, we made it!
20:54We made it!
20:55Hey, Justin, we're in here!
20:59We didn't think you'd make it alive!
21:01I'm not sure I did.
21:02How's everybody in here?
21:04Yeah, just a little cold.
21:05Yes, it is frightfully drifty.
21:07Well, at least we're safe.
21:09Yeah, well, thanks to Dusty here for finding this cave.
21:12Me? Don't thank me, thank my friend Harry.
21:14He's the one who found the cave.
21:17Hey, looks like he's trying to give us back that map, Andy.
21:20It's almost like he wanted us to follow him in here on purpose.
21:26Hey, maybe it's his way of repaying Dusty for feeding him and saving his life.
21:30Yeah, too bad we can't give him some kind of reward, huh?
21:33Too bad I don't have my checkbook handy.
21:36I've got something for him.
21:40It used to be a piece of bread.
21:42Oh, Dusty, that's a pretty crummy reward.
21:52Now listen, your nest is back the way it was and you've got two days' worth of supply of bread.
