00:00Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up! Saddle up!
00:09This is the story of 26 men who rode the Arizona Territory.
00:16High is the glory of 26 men whose courage helped to build the Territory.
00:2426 men who saddled up and then rode off to answer duty's call.
00:3126 men who lived to write again and fight for the rights and the liberty of all.
00:39This is the story of 26 men enforcing law within the Territory.
00:46Praise be the glory of 26 men who rode the Arizona Territory.
00:53Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!
01:0626 men, carefully chosen for their courage and ability, formed the Arizona Rangers.
01:11Fame and public acclaim was not their objective.
01:14This is perhaps why the story of these 26 men has never been told until now.
01:2526 Rangers to maintain the peace of an entire state.
01:29There were many who felt it couldn't be done.
01:32And several recent arrivals in Nogales were thoroughly in accord with this opinion.
01:37These men had made hundreds of headlines with their criminal exploits.
01:41They were known from the Dakotas to the Rio Grande as the Wild Bunch,
01:45and they specialized in train robbery.
01:50Unique in the annals of frontier lawlessness,
01:53most of them practiced fastidious taste, both in clothing and in women.
01:58Intelligent, well-organized, they professed contempt for the law in general
02:03and for the small company of Arizona Rangers in particular.
02:07On the 14th of June, 1901, they intended to prove this with a daring escapade.
02:1330 miles of riding for nothing, Captain.
02:16The rancher says he doesn't want to prosecute after all.

02:42Sorry, Captain, I didn't mean to interrupt.
02:44You don't have to go, Travis.
02:46All right, Miss Bender, let's get back to it.
02:48You say you're a schoolteacher.
02:50That's right. I'm a schoolteacher.
02:52Where did you teach?
02:53I was working in Bisbee.
02:55How long ago?
02:56Just a little while ago.
02:58We can check on that.
03:00Well, let's see. I guess it must have been four or five months ago.
03:04What have you been doing since?
03:06Traveling.
03:07On what you made as a schoolteacher, you were able to travel for four or five months?
03:11I saved up for it.
03:13But this morning you were arrested for shoplifting.
03:15I tell you, I wasn't shoplifting.
03:17I just took those things outside to see the color in the daylight.
03:21And was the daylight so much better halfway down the street?
03:25Now, Miss Bender, the shoplifting charge is between you and the local police.
03:31We're interested in these railroad timetables we found in your room.
03:35Why, you have timetables for every railroad in the West.
03:38How do you explain that?
03:39I told you. I've been traveling.
03:41People use timetables when they travel, don't they?
03:45What do you know about the hole-in-the-wall gang, Miss Bender?
03:48The what?
03:49They're also called the Wild Bunch, train robbers.
03:52I don't know anything about them.
03:54They travel high, wide, and fancy, and keep two or three pretty girls with them.
03:59Aren't you one of those girls, Miss Bender?
04:01Thank you for calling me pretty, but I'm not one of those girls.
04:06You ready, honey?
04:07You didn't really think you could keep me here, did you?
04:10You stay right where you are.
04:32Where's the man who just came in here?
04:35Where's the man who just came in here?
04:59Just disappeared and nobody knows where.
05:01How's the man I hit?
05:02Bullet in the thigh.
05:03Dunning and Peters moved him to the jail.
05:05Can he talk?
05:06No, he can.
05:07But he won't.
05:09He's one of the Wild Bunch.
05:10Got a poster on him.
05:11How about the girl?
05:12She's in a cell, too.
05:14Took nerve coming right into this office after her.
05:16If that girl was shoplifting, they must be pretty low on money.
05:19Right.
05:20They'll be pulling another train robbery fast, and in their own backyard.
05:23How about letting me handle this case?
05:25You're taking the girl up to Tucson.
05:33Why send me up there when the job is down here?
05:37Travis, the biggest problem we have in this case is lack of information.
05:40Nobody wants to tell us anything.
05:42These are thieving killers.
05:44The public seems to think they're a bunch of Robin Hoods.
05:46All right, so let me stay here and go after them.
05:48No.
05:49I want to draw the gang into another try of freeing the girl.
05:52Somebody in the outfit thinks a lot of her.
05:54And if you take her out of here, they'll come after her.
05:57And when they do,
05:59they move into a trap.
06:06Within the hour,
06:07the Nogales press was told that Mary Bender was being moved north
06:10under conditions of maximum security.
06:13Travel arrangements were to remain secret.
06:21Go ahead, Travis.
06:22We'll be covering you.
06:23Right.
06:25We're ready now.
06:27Anything you say, Ranger.
06:29Seems like you and your prisoners are going to be my only passengers, Mr. Travis.
06:32We planned it that way.
06:44Go!
06:45Yes!
06:58You're not afraid of me, are you?
07:00What's with that idea in your head?
07:02I sit over here, you sit over there.
07:05Why don't you sit back and relax, Miss Bender?
07:07It's going to be a long ride.
07:27Go!
07:57Go!
08:28Isn't he more bad?
08:30Beats that musty jail.
08:32Doesn't seem too bad to me.
08:58We're spending the night here.
09:00A hotel.
09:01How nice.
09:16You're being very kind to me.
09:18I thought I'd have to thank you.
09:20You're welcome.
09:21You're welcome.
09:22You're welcome.
09:23You're welcome.
09:24You're welcome.
09:25You're being very kind to me.
09:27I thought I'd have to spend the night in jail.
09:41Ranger?
09:42Yes?
09:44I'm beginning to realize what a fool I was to get into a mess like this.
09:48Everybody makes mistakes.
09:50Would you help me?
09:51How?
09:53Well, maybe after I get out of this,
09:56you might be able to help me get another teaching job.
10:00Maybe not teaching.
10:02Maybe some other kind of work.
10:05Anything.
10:06I might be able to do that.
10:09A lot of people know you.
10:11You're a ranger.
10:12People think a lot of rangers.
10:14They listen to you.
10:16If you want to try for a new start, I wouldn't turn you down.
10:19You will help me, then?
10:21If you're on the level.
10:22It'd be worth taking a chance on that, wouldn't it?
10:33What are you sneaking, double-crossing?
10:36I'll bring you back some supper.
10:49I was wondering where you'd be.
10:51Where's the girl?
10:52She's faved at me.
10:53I've got her handcuffed to a bed.
10:54Well, how's it going?
10:56I find her very enjoyable.
10:57Never mind about that.
10:58You've got a job to do.
10:59What time do you leave in the morning?
11:00Seven o'clock.
11:01Good.
11:02You better get yourself some dinner.
11:03I'll keep an eye on the girl till you get back.
11:21Anna, I've got the boot.
11:22No trouble.
11:45Take it easy.
11:46Easy, Travis.
11:47Easy.
11:48Easy.
11:49Easy.
11:50Mr. Travis, the doctor broke me all up inside.
11:54What started this?
11:56I don't know.
11:57I was sitting there eating.
11:59He lit on me like a buffalo stampede.
12:02Do you know them?
12:03I never saw them before in my life.
12:06Come on, Will.
12:07Get you to the doctor.
12:11This is a wonderful breakfast.
12:13Thank you, Mr. Travis.
12:15Thank the Arizona Rangers.
12:16They're paying for it.
12:17Now, why didn't you just let me think
12:18you were buying it for me?
12:20Don't you have any romance in your heart?
12:22Lady, as the city lawyers say, that's a leading question.
12:39I thought you'd want to know the stage is filling out
12:41in 10 minutes, Mr. Travis.
12:42Who are you?
12:43Name's Cremotti.
12:44I'm taking Muller's place.
12:46He won't be able to drive for a month.
12:48A little early, aren't you?
12:52I've got nine minutes to seven.
12:54We'll be ready.
13:17Help!
13:18Help!
13:47Oh.
13:48Oh.
14:08What's the trouble?
14:09This wheel's freezing at it.

14:32just stick with me mind if I stay here while the driver fixes that we are I won't
14:36see places like this for quite
14:38a while if I end up behind bars why didn't you think of that before you got in this
14:41mess I should have had someone like you around. Suppose they don't put me in jail
14:47because they give me another chance I hope they do give you another chance when
14:51you help me find that job. Sure think about it you'll think about it.
14:59It's your beats all what a woman will do to get her own way now if you really want
15:03that job. I'm not going to get you.

17:09bait was Mary Bender a prisoner who made good her escape from the Arizona Rangers
17:14within forty eight hours after being taken into custody made it did you think I
17:18wouldn't wear now back to Nogales the boys are still there you can hold up at

17:48got to him I don't know what I don't belong to any guy you're under arrest anyway

18:18Twenty six men who lived to ride again and fight for the rights and the liberty of all.

18:33Captain Reining and his men returned to Nogales without their quarry the wild
18:38bunch was still at large and the Arizona Rangers had lost a prisoner.
19:00I'm going to bet that came back here why one thing they're cocky enough to do it
19:04and after what happened I figured I'd have the edge on.
19:09It looks like a lot of people around here willing to agree with them I want to stay

19:16a little smarter on it suit yourself you're certainly letting everybody know what you
