00:00Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up!

00:08This is the story of twenty-six men who rode the Arizona Territory.

00:15High is the glory of twenty-six men whose courage helped to build the Territory.

00:23Twenty-six men who saddled up and then rode off to answer duty's call.

00:31Twenty-six men who lived to write again and fight for the rights and the liberty of all.

00:38This is the story of twenty-six men enforcing law within the Territory.

00:46Praise be the glory of twenty-six men who rode the Arizona Territory.

00:53Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!

01:05One of the smartest and toughest outlaws of the Southwest was a woman who went by the name of Ma Hackett.

01:11Despite three prison terms for various acts of larceny and violence, she had raised four sons.

01:17All outlaws trained sternly to obey this dominant woman's every order.

01:23I thought I told you to watch that stuff cooking on the stove.

01:26I'm tired of watching it. I thought I heard horses.

01:29You'll hear more than horses if you let that meal burn.

01:32Ma, you gotta quit doing that.

01:33You get in there and watch that food.

01:36I said get in there.

01:38All right.

01:39Come on.

02:07Well, Ma, we got it for you.

02:08You sure this is the right one?

02:09Yep. This is Miss Janie Claiborne.

02:11Fresh out of Mrs. Tuttle's or Sputtle's or somebody's fancy-dancy boarding school.

02:15Your name's Claiborne?

02:16Yes.

02:17Your pa, the colonel of Fort Apache?

02:19Yes, he is. And when he hears about this...

02:21I figure he's already heard about it by now.

02:24I sent him a message.

02:25A message?

02:26Your pa's a hard man, girlie.

02:28They got my boy Byron.

02:30They plan to hang him.

02:31And your pa said he wouldn't lift a finger to stop it.

02:34He's a real hard man.

02:37Well, we'll see how hard he is when he hears about you.

02:40What about me?

02:41They plan to hang him come Friday.

02:43I wrote your pa.

02:45If he let him hang Byron, I'm going to hang you.

02:48And there's the rope I intend to do it with.

02:51You wouldn't dare.

02:53Oh, wouldn't I?

02:55If he lets him kill my son, you're going to die too.

02:59I promise you.

03:07Something wrong?

03:08I was just thinking.

03:10They'd better not hang Byron Hackett yet, not till we get the girl back.

03:13Colonel Claiborne's smart enough to know that.

03:15I hope you're right.

03:17Johnny!

03:20Yes, Captain?

03:21Can you come over here, please?

03:31Yes, Captain?

03:32Do me a favor, will you, Johnny?

03:33Sure thing.

03:34I'm expecting a telegram.

03:35When it comes in, I'd like you to bring it to me right away.

03:37I'll be at the corral.

03:38Anything for you, Captain.

03:39Good.

03:40Good.

03:57Ma Hackett's message to the colonel in command at Fort Apache got quick results.

04:01It brought two hard-eyed men to Arizona in a hurry.

04:04They were Lieutenants Holloway and Castile, Army officers on special assignment.

04:08To avoid complications, we'd better change clothes.

04:11It's a little like the rest of them around here.

04:12Yeah, then we can check with the sheriff.

04:14Yeah.

04:15Oh, there's the hotel.

04:25About food, Captain, I was thinking four days' supply would be about right.

04:29Well, then you're an optimist.

04:30On a ride like this, you figure what you need, then double it.

04:32Well, I don't know about you, but I didn't plan to gain any weight on the trip.

04:36Hey, I haven't gained an ounce of weight in years.

04:38Nothing personal, Captain.

04:39I'll pack eight days' supply, then.

04:41You pack what you said first, four days' supply.

04:43Yes, Captain.

05:03Captain Reidy?

05:04That's right.

05:05I'm Lieutenant Holloway.

05:06This is Lieutenant Castile, United States Army, Special Service, Fort Apache.

05:09Well, you got here in a hurry.

05:10We took the stage.

05:11Why don't you sit down?

05:14Nice of you men to come down here and help us.

05:16Well, this is sort of a special case, J.E. Clayton.

05:19I'd like to see what you've got.

05:20I've got a picture of the ship.

05:21I've got a picture of the ship.

05:22What picture?

05:23You've got a picture of the ship.

05:24What did you say?

05:25I said, I've got a picture of the ship.

05:26What picture?

05:27No, I've got a picture.

05:28I've got a picture of the ship.

05:29No, I've got a picture.

05:30It's sort of a special case.

05:31Janie Claiborne happens to be our colonel's daughter.

05:34Well, let us help you then.

05:35You really don't think we need any help, do you, Captain?

05:38Let me point out something.

05:40If you break this case...

05:41If we break it, Captain?

05:43There's no doubt about that now, is there?

05:45If you break this case, how will you make arrests?

05:48The Army has no authority in civilian matters.

05:50Oh, we do now.

05:51We were just deputized by your sheriff.

05:53You see, Captain, we heard that Ma Hackett is holing up

05:56somewhere here in the Dragoon Mountains.

05:58We thought you might give us a breakdown on how to locate her.

06:00I thought you didn't need any help.

06:02Well, maybe a little information.

06:06Oh, this is Clint Travis, one of my men.

06:08How are you?

06:10Information won't do you much good up in that country.

06:13It's one of the toughest areas in the territory.

06:15You need someone to take you there.

06:16Well, we might take along one of your men as a guide.

06:20You'll have two men as guides.

06:22Travis will be one, and I'll be the other.

06:24But, Captain...

06:25You'll need some horses.

06:27You can borrow some from our corral.

06:29You're welcome to use some rifles.

06:31Unless you think they're unnecessary.

06:33You're making this old woman sound mighty tough, Captain Reine.

06:36Well, maybe I know more about her than you do.

06:38For 15 years, Ma Hackett was known as Mabel Swann, girl sharpshooter.

06:42She traveled with Brocklin's Carnival

06:44all through Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.

06:47She can pick your eyes out with any kind of firearm.

06:51Let me tell you something about the gang she has left.

06:54You folks have Byron Hackett in jail.

06:56That's right.

06:56But Ma Hackett still has Clay, Grady, and Tobe Hackett, and Al Troxell.

07:02According to the report, Troxell killed Joey Corbin a few weeks ago.

07:06And Corbin had a long record as a gunfighter.

07:09Grady is wanted for killing a marshal in Amarillo, and another in Huntsville.

07:13Marshals?

07:14They were Arizona marshals.

07:16And probably you don't know this,

07:18but Clay Hackett and Troxell, with the Claiborne girl,

07:21were stopped by one of your men just before they reached the New Mexico border.

07:26Your man was killed when he tried to question them.

07:28Now do you want the rifles?

07:30Well, if you say so, Captain.

07:32Pick out a couple. We'll get the horses ready.

07:34All right, fine.

07:50Won't Ma let you out for a breath of air?

07:53I guess you're kind of scared, ain't you?

07:57I don't blame you.

07:58A mark would just about scare anybody.

08:03Oh, now.

08:05You don't have to be scared of me,

08:07because I wouldn't hurt you.

08:08You sure are pretty.

08:09You don't think she'll kill me, do you?

08:11I've just never seen anything like you before.

08:14I swear, you're prettier than a pearl-handled pistol.

08:17I've got to get away from here.

08:19I've just got to get away.

08:21Oh, now, don't do that.

08:24Come on, you don't have to cry.

08:26Please, stop crying.

08:27I don't like to see anybody cry.

08:28I don't like to see anybody cry.

08:34What do you want?

08:35You're supposed to be working.

08:36What do you think I've been doing?

08:38Come on, get outside.

08:39Oh, man.

08:40You heard what I said, get outside.

08:42Get your hands off me.

08:47All right, baby brother, you've been asking for this for a long time.

08:52You don't understand.

08:54I've been looking everywhere for this.

08:57What's important is that you're here

08:59and know that she's not there.

09:00We'll take care of this.

09:04It's all yours, baby boy, it's all yours.

09:06I'll take care of it.

09:10The treasurer's words are pretty good,

09:11if you want to burn the house down to the ground.

09:13So chop it up now.

09:15And I said you'd do everything I could.

09:18If I were you, I'd cut her cow into pieces and then

09:21What'd you do that for, ma?

09:23I'll bend this rifle barrel over your head the next time.

09:26I heard you lala-gagging with that girl in here.

09:29I told you to dig those holes, and I meant it.

09:31Ah, dig holes.

09:32That's all I heard all day long.

09:34Now, what are you going to do, plant melons?

09:36Do you think we can kidnap a girl like that one

09:38and not have the law after us?

09:40They'll be moving in on this place like cats to the fish fry.

09:43They don't even know we're here.

09:44The whole territory knows we're here,

09:46because you baboons are the ones who are here.

09:49Because you baboons can't keep from riding off to some town

09:52and getting liquored up.

09:53You can't keep from making enough noise

09:55to be heard a hundred miles.

09:57So you're going to dig those holes like I said.

09:59Do you understand?

10:07That's telling them, ma.

10:08You get out.

10:09Help me.

10:13You clean up this place.

10:20You think those army men are going

10:21to be satisfied with these horses?

10:23I'll give you a word of advice.

10:24Don't even ask them.

10:33Hey, what's that out there?

10:36Show you which way the wind's blowing?

10:38Don't you know where the wind's blowing?

10:40I don't know where the wind's blowing.

10:42I don't know where the wind's blowing.

10:44I don't know where the wind's blowing.

10:46I don't know where the wind's blowing.

10:48Don't you know the Arizona Rangers

10:49use that for target practice?

10:51Target practice?

10:52Why don't we have one of those to play with down

10:54in Fort Apache?

10:55Go on.

10:56Try it.

11:01Fine shooting.

11:02That thing should spin faster than that.

11:04It will.

11:19I bet he practices that trick every day.

11:21I bet he could get a job in a carnival.

11:24Telegram, Captain.

11:25Oh, thank you, sir.

11:26Here, just a minute.

11:34You men have any objection to riding all night?

11:37A horse can break a leg at night, Captain.

11:39But if it's important.

11:41It's very important.

11:42We have to get to that girl as soon as possible.

11:44Afraid the old lady might be getting jealous.

11:46Her boy should have gotten a stay of execution.

11:48Colonel Claiborne knows we need time to work on this.

11:51Claiborne left for Washington the day before

11:53Ma Hackett's message arrived at the fort.

11:55They haven't been able to contact him.

11:56He doesn't know about it.

11:58I'll read this telegram.

12:00Byron Hackett was hanged at 5 o'clock this morning.

12:05We'll ride all night, Captain.

12:17Anything for me yet?

12:20Uh, what was that name again?

12:23Hackett.

12:24Grady Hackett.

12:25I'm expecting a message from White River.

12:27Oh, nothing from White River.

12:29The only thing I've had from around there

12:31was a wire from Fort Apache for Captain Riding of the Rangers.

12:34I sent a kid to deliver it.

12:36Thanks anyway.

12:39What was the message from White River?

12:42Anyway, what was the message for the Rangers?

12:47How's that?

12:48Was it about a man named Hackett?

12:50Yes, as a matter of fact, it was.

12:52Some fellow they just hanged back there.

12:54Say, didn't you tell me your name was Hackett?

12:56That's right, Hackett.

12:58The fellow they hanged just happens to be my brother.

13:13It'll be getting dark pretty soon.

13:15They gonna arrest the horses anywhere?

13:17No time.

13:18We're still 15 miles from the Dragoons.

13:20How much farther beyond that?

13:22Another five, maybe.

13:23That's 20 miles.

13:24Means we're gonna have to press to get there.

13:27We'll get there.

13:43Now what?

13:44It's almost dawn.

13:45They should be getting up pretty soon.

13:47I'm gonna climb that rock

13:48and see if I can pick up a light or a thread of smoke.

13:50You know what'll happen to us if we don't save that girl?

13:53Quit worrying.

13:54The Captain's doing everything possible.

13:57Maybe we should have brought a patrol with us in Fort Apache.

14:00A patrol would never cover the ground as fast as we have.

14:05I'm gonna go look for the girl.

14:06I'll call you when I get there.

14:07All right.

14:08Let's go.

14:09Let's go.

14:10Come on, let's go.

14:11Come on, let's go.

14:23Come on.

14:24Come on.

14:25Come on.

14:36Any luck, Captain?

14:37No.

14:39There are two more canyons beyond this one.

14:41We'll just have to try them all.

14:56This is a dead-end canyon.

14:58You mean to tell me we've been on the wrong trail?

15:01I thought you said you knew where this mawhacket lived.

15:04I said I knew this section, not the exact canyon.

15:07We'll just have to keep looking till we find the right one.

15:09This may take hours, days.

15:12It may, if we keep talking about it.

15:25Come on.

15:26Come on.

15:27Come on.

15:28Come on.

15:29Come on.

15:30Come on.

15:54Come on.

15:55Come on.

15:56I don't know if I can make out my own foot.

15:57I just have a headache.

15:58I don't know..

15:59I want to get out of here.

16:00I don't know where I am.

16:01You're going to get in trouble, son.

16:04I'm not going to hurt you.

16:05What do you want?

16:06How'd you like to get away from here?

16:08Get away.

16:09All you gotta do is come with me.

16:10I'll get you out of here.

16:13Oh, I don't know.

16:14Listen, I want to help you.

16:15Can you just see that?

16:16I just want to help you.

16:17How do I know what you want?

16:21Please, leave me alone.

16:23to stay here and die. My mom meant what she said. Now you listen. You don't have to be

16:27scared of me. You don't have to be scared at all. I just want to get you out of here.

16:32Now will you listen? All right. We'll sneak out to the corral. We'll take a couple of

16:37horses and we'll just ride out of here. Here we come.

16:53See, Ma? Didn't I tell you to try to sneak her out of here?

17:01You rigged that, didn't you? I'm going to climb all over you.

17:04You listen to me, you young pup. You're trying to be a traitor to your own family just because

17:10you let yourself get mushed over that girl. What good's it going to do you? Do you think

17:15she'd take a second look at you once you got away from here? I wouldn't mind a flail of

17:19hide off you.

17:19Hey, Ma, wait a minute.

17:21What is it?

17:21I thought I heard something.

17:22Maybe it's Troxel.

17:28It's Grady.

17:33I got bad news, Ma.

17:36Byron?

17:37Yeah, Ma. Byron.

17:39Oh, they didn't. They didn't do that to Byron.

17:42They killed him, Ma. They killed him this morning. I hung around the telegraph office in Phoenix

17:46and it came over the wire.

17:52Did you hear that?

17:53Did you hear that your brother is dead?

17:56Your pa let him do it. Your pa let him kill my boy.

17:59Well, I warned your pa. I told him I was going to kill you and I'm going to do it come daylight.

18:05Ma, you can't do that. You can't kill a girl.

18:09Oh, can't I? Did you ever hear of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, boy?

18:14Well, I'm going to do it come daybreak. And don't you try to stop me.

18:22I wish I could be sure we're headed in the right direction.

18:26Captain.

18:29Tracks here. They're fresh.

18:33It's a single horse.

18:34Good. It'll be one of Ma Hackett's sons bringing the news about Byron.

18:38We got the information. No reason to believe she won't.

18:40Well, if she's heard it, we've got no time to lose.

18:52There it is.

18:53Doesn't seem to be much joy.

18:55Could be. They're all still asleep.

18:57I doubt that.

18:58It's the same as too good a chance to miss.

19:00We ought to ride in.

19:01That's up to you.

19:03You ready?

19:04Yeah, let's go.

19:22Hey, Ma. The men you're expecting are here.

19:25Well, get to your places, then.

19:36Here they come. We'll see how far they get.

19:52It worked, Ma. You got them on the run.

19:54Now you see why I had you dig those holes and plant that dynamite?

20:21Come on.

20:52Well, what do you think of the old woman now?

20:54She tough enough for you?

20:55A bloodthirsty old biddy?

20:57How do you feel?

20:58I'm all right. What happened out there?

21:00The whole approach to that shack has been mined with dynamite.

21:02She's made a battlefield out of it.

21:03Captain, we got to get that girl out of there.

21:05First, we got to crack that fort up there.

21:07Seems to me all we got to do is outsmart her a little, that's all.

21:10They're not going to give us time to outsmart them. Look.

21:13You remember now. I don't want anything to stop this.

21:16You see them lawmen coming, you start shooting.

21:19Captain, they got a rope around her neck.

21:21We'll make a move, but not yet.

21:23But they're going to hang her right now.

21:25You want to charge four or five rifles with a handgun?

21:27You move when I tell you.

21:29Come on with me.

21:31What's the matter? Can't you tie that thing?

21:33We ain't got all day.

21:35You can cut that rope out with a bullet.

21:36That's pretty long odds.

21:38Look.

21:58I said, don't touch her.

21:59odds make sure you allow for the wind get a beat on it and keep shooting till you hit it all right captain
