01:00The End
01:30You're away ahead of time. Roy ain't due for 15 minutes yet.
01:50You're always ahead of time.
01:53What did I get you?
01:56Hold him! Come on in!
02:03You bust this cage in wide open again, Roy.
02:06I nearly got busted wide open myself.
02:08The Kiowars are out on the north port.
02:10Ah, be careful.
02:11I'll be seeing you.
02:12I'll be seeing you.
02:43The ponies do it a minute now.
02:45Good. The colonel's anxious to get his California dispatches.
02:48All cleared in New York, Mr. Blaine.
02:49I've got to throw wire into the Herald office.
02:51That's fine.
02:52Greeley's always anxious to get first news from the pony.
02:56Oh, hello, Langhorne.
02:58Hello, Mr. Garrett.
02:59You boys ought to know Brett Langhorne.
03:00He's a newspaper man, too.
03:02Blaine of the New York Herald.
03:03How do you do, sir?
03:04Wallace, Washington Post.
03:05Wallace?
03:05How's it doing?
03:06I'm only a crossroads publisher.
03:08I took over the Sentinel here, and I thought I might pick up something from you east and corresponded.
03:12Well, we'll pass on anything that turns up, Langhorne.
03:14Thanks.
03:14Webb, why don't you swap me for this genuine beaver rope?
03:18I'm busy now.
03:19See me later.
03:20What's the matter, Horseshoe?
03:21Can't you plumb off those rabbit skins on anyone?
03:23What do you mean, rabbit skin?
03:25Genuine beaver.
03:26Ought to know.
03:26Caught him myself.
03:27Don't you get caught around here when that pony comes in.
03:29Go on out and meet it.
03:31Hey, you young'uns.
03:32Clear out of that.
03:33Roy Rogers is coming in with the pony, and I don't want you cluttering up the place.
03:38Hey, and another thing.
03:40I don't want to catch none of you young'uns touching this beaver rope.
03:45Is it really beaver?
03:47Yes, ma'am.
03:49The finest ever come out of the Rockies.
03:52Too bad I got to sell it, too, for about half price.
03:55How much is it worth?
03:57Oh, I'd say about, uh, $100.
04:01But I'd let you have it for $50.
04:05Dear me.
04:06That's a lot of money.
04:08But I would like to have it.
04:11I'll tell you what I could do.
04:13I'd trade you even for that cameo pin of yours.
04:17Well.
04:18And, uh, I'll throw in one of Trigger's pet shoes, too.
04:22All right, then.
04:23Yeah.
04:25You know, I'm a loser on this trade, but I always get soft-hearted when I get dickin' with a woman.
04:32Now, don't forget the horseshoe and nail it up.
04:39Pony!
04:40Coming in!
04:41Come on in!
04:44Come on in!
04:45Looks like you've set another record, Roy.
04:52Have any trouble gettin' through?
04:53Nothing much.
04:54The Kiowas are on the North Forks.
04:56Kiowas?
04:56A large war party?
04:58No, just a handful.
04:59These are all for Fort Riley, Captain.
05:01Thank you, Garrett.
05:02And these for you, Brett.
05:04Oh, by the way, I don't think you two know each other.
05:06Roy, this is Brett Langhorne.
05:08Just bought the local newspaper.
05:09Brett, Roy Rogers, my top rider.
05:11Glad I know you.
05:11Howdy.
05:12Well, gentlemen, I have to get these letters for the East over to the stage station.
05:15By the way, former Senator Lasseter's coming in from the East on today's stage.
05:19Calhoun Lasseter?
05:20Why, he's as southern as Jeff Davis.
05:22Say, what's he doing out here in St. Joe, anyway?
05:24Langhorne should know something about it.
05:26They're both from Maryland.
05:28I'm sorry I can't help you, gentlemen.
05:30The senator's an old family friend, but this is the first I've heard of him coming here.
05:34Quite a staunch confederate, isn't he?
05:36If he were, he'd stay out of Union territory, wouldn't he?
05:39There's something in that.
05:45Say, there's the stage now.
05:46Welcome to St. Joe, folks.
05:51Welcome to St. Joe.
05:52Ah, Senator, we've been expecting you.
05:56I'm very happy to be here.
05:58Three cheers for the senator.
06:03Man!
06:04Come on, let's go.
06:34There, you're all right.
07:02No harm, Dan.
07:02Well, I don't know how to thank you.
07:11Oh, Brad, Brad.
07:16This is my sister, Anne.
07:18Anne Roy Rogers, one of the pony riders.
07:20How do you do, Mr. Rogers?
07:21Very pleased to meet you, Miss Langhorne.
07:24I'll not try to thank you, Rogers.
07:25Well, that's all right. Somebody had to stop them.
07:27You two get in, and I'll drive you back to the station.
07:30Well, I'd almost rather walk.
07:32You're safe enough, Miss, with Roy driving.
07:35And dear, what on earth brings you out here?
08:01Why didn't you write and tell me you were coming?
08:02Brad, I just had to come.
08:04You don't know what it's like in Maryland, where everything is war.
08:08Yeah, I know, honey.
08:11Did you have a good trip?
08:12Mm-hmm.
08:13I was fortunate enough to run into that charming Senator Lasseter.
08:16He thinks a lot of you, Brad.
08:18What did he say?
08:19Oh, lots of things.
08:20All nice things.
08:21He thinks you have a brilliant future as an editor.
08:23Is that so?
08:24Mm-hmm.
08:25Yes.
08:25Senator is a charming man.
08:27If the strongbox had been on her when she ran away, we might have gone out and stopped
08:39her ourselves.
08:41A little closer to town even for you, Luke.
08:43If I knew who did that gun shooting and yelling, I'd boot him until he'd sound like an Indian
08:49drum.
08:50Who's this young man?
08:50Roy Rogers.
08:51The best pony express rider in these or any other part.
08:55Pony riders.
08:56Splendid.
08:56Splendid.
08:57Are you quite all right, my dear?
08:59Yes, thank you.
09:00How are you, Brett?
09:01Fine, thank you, Senator.
09:02I must see you at once.
09:03Are the mails in from California?
09:05Yes, sir.
09:05Several letters.
09:06I'll take Anne home and meet you at my office in half an hour.
09:09Good.
09:11Thank you so much, Mr. Rogers.
09:13We have a lot to thank Mr. Rogers for.
09:14I hope we'll see him frequently.
09:17Well, I hope so, too.
09:19Can I take you?
09:23Now, Roy, don't be getting a lot of silly ideas in that head of yours.
09:27Interesting town.
09:30Isn't it?
09:32Interesting men.
09:33Yes, very.
09:34Especially pony express riders.
09:37Why, Brett Langhorne?
09:40Who are those tough-looking men?
09:45The big one leaning against the post is Luke Johnson.
09:49They say he's an outlaw.
09:51Well, why isn't he in prison?
09:52This isn't Marilyn Huntingwood to the frontier.
09:55The last two marshals that went after Johnson are dead.
09:59Well, why you picked a place like this to open up a newspaper is beyond me.
10:03I have my reasons.
10:04Here are the deeds and bills of sale for the Sentinel, sir.
10:15They're unimportant at the moment.
10:18Brett, do you know why you were sent out here?
10:21No, sir.
10:22My orders were to buy this paper and await further instructions from you.
10:25You're here to help me win the state of California for the Confederacy.
10:29I'm afraid I don't quite understand, sir.
10:31I have an organization in California working night and day to this end.
10:34But why aren't we in California?
10:36Surely we can't help such a plan here.
10:38On the contrary, my boy.
10:40Before we can succeed, the loyal Union troops in Sacramento and San Francisco must be disposed of.
10:46How do you propose doing it from St. Joe?
10:48Through the Pony Express.
10:50If we can get forged dispatches into the mail pouches, we can dictate the movements of every Union trooper in California.
10:56With them disposed of, my own men will take over control of the state.
10:59I'm afraid that's impossible, sir.
11:01All the pony riders are loyal to the North.
11:04Have you forgotten the power of money?
11:06Take this chap, Roy Rogers.
11:07He's young, eager, undoubtedly ambitious.
11:10There's a situation made for our purpose.
11:12That's bribery, sir.
11:14I don't like bribery.
11:16Brett.
11:18Before this war is won, we will all be called upon to make sacrifices we do not like.
11:23Remember your oath as a Confederate officer.
11:27Yes, sir.
11:28I'm sorry, sir.
11:29What do you want me to do?
11:31Win the confidence of this Roy Rogers.
11:33Then I would suggest...
11:36These mojilas sure do stiffen up.
11:38Well, there ain't no wonder.
11:39Let them alone, Roy.
11:40I'll take care of them.
11:41Hello, Roy.
11:42How are you, Brett?
11:43I've been looking for you.
11:44Morning, Horseshoe.
11:46Morning, Mr. Longhorse.
11:47What's on your mind?
11:49Oh, nothing really important.
11:52When do you ride west again?
11:54Tomorrow.
11:55Oh.
11:55Well, we'd better make it tonight, then.
11:58Ann and I would like to have you take dinner with us, if it's all right with you and convenient for you.
12:02Well, that's fine.
12:03Only thing is, I don't have any clothes for things like that.
12:05Ann would never forgive you if he came all dressed up.
12:08Come just as you are, guns and all.
12:11All right, I'll be there.
12:13Fine.
12:13Hey, Horseshoe, finish this mojila.
12:15I've got to get ready.
12:16I know, I hearin' all about it.
12:18The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
12:36Till summer, the darkies are gay, the corn top's ripe, and the meadows in the bloom,
12:54While the birds make music all the day.
13:06Weep no more, my lady.
13:14Oh, weep no more today.
13:25We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home.
13:41For my old Kentucky home.
13:49Fall away.
13:56That was lovely, Roy.
13:57Sorry, I wasn't home, Rogers.
14:03You got here sooner than I expected.
14:05Well, you see, I...
14:06That's quite all right.
14:07Better hurry dinner along, Mrs. M.
14:10Everything's ready now, Mr. Langhorst.
14:18Say, what are you doing here?
14:20I'm just waitin' for Roy.
14:21I'm his stock tender.
14:23Say, ain't you the man that sold me that beaver robe?
14:27I...
14:28I just remember it, ma'am.
14:29Oh, no you don't.
14:30You give me back that cameo, beaver indeed.
14:31That means your robe you sold me was nothing but rabbit and jackrabbit at that.
14:35Lively now.
14:36Where's that cameo?
14:37Well, to be honest with you, ma'am, I give it to a friend of mine to keep for me.
14:52Well, you better get it back and fetch it to me or I'll set the marshal after you.
14:56Oh, don't do that, ma'am.
14:57I did it for you.
14:58You better.
15:05Did you hear what she said, Dinah?
15:11Will you have some more dessert, Roy?
15:12Oh, gosh, I'm so full I can't hardly walk now.
15:16Wanna smoke, Roy?
15:17No, thanks.
15:18I know what that means.
15:19Will you excuse me?
15:20And will you tell me more about the Pony Express later?
15:23I sure will.
15:28I'd like to hear more about the Pony Express too, Roy.
15:34I suppose they pay you riders well.
15:37Some of us make a hundred a month.
15:39Is that all?
15:40A hundred dollars a month?
15:42That's a ridiculous amount.
15:44Well, there are times I wish it were more.
15:47I've been told it wouldn't be difficult for a pony rider to make money.
15:51Real money, if he wanted to.
15:54I never heard of it.
15:55These are troubled times.
15:57A lot of mighty important events hinge on the dispatches you pony riders carry.
16:03I know that.
16:04Roy, there are men who'd pay well to see those dispatches.
16:09Do you know these men?
16:12Well, you're not leaving.
16:15I guess I'd better.
16:16You're too interested in the Pony Express.
16:18What do you mean by that?
16:20You not only know these men, you're working for them.
16:22I don't like either your tone or your insinuations.
16:24I don't care whether you like it or not.
16:34Brett!
16:35Brett, you're hurt!
16:36No, it's nothing.
16:38I...
16:39We just had a little difference of opinion on politics, that's all.
16:43It's as much my fault as his.
16:45We...
16:46We both lost our temper.
16:49You accept my brother's hospitality and then shoot him.
16:52Oh, please go.
16:57Is that to go?
16:58Yes, sir.
16:59You'll meet the town rider at the Laramie Station.
17:01And you can take the next run in.
17:02I'll be back for the end of the week.
17:07Good luck, T-Roy.
17:14Just got a wire.
17:15Your Pony Express payroll from the East has arrived at Fort Ford.
17:19They're sending it on under cavalry escort.
17:21That's fine.
17:22That's all in gold, you know, and there's been a lot of Confederate raids lately.
17:25Hiya, Cherokee.
17:31Got another trade horseshoe?
17:33Uh...
17:34No.
17:35No, I ain't, Cherokee.
17:37But about that, uh...
17:39Cameo pin.
17:40I was thinking that...
17:41Yeah, I know.
17:42Mighty nice pin.
17:43Yes, sir.
17:44Larry Burns wants the Ace High Saloon.
17:46Give me $50 for it.
17:48What?
17:51$50?
17:52Larry, I'll tell you what I'll do with you.
17:57You give me that Cameo, and I'll give you $60.
18:02Just as soon as the Pony payroll gets in.
18:05For sure you never had $60 at one time in your life.
18:08Well, I know.
18:09But I got too much pay coming to me.
18:12They're gonna pay in gold, too.
18:14Cause that's the way the payroll's coming in.
18:16When's it gonna get here?
18:18Well, it's coming from Fort Ford.
18:20I'd be here any time.
18:23Well, I gotta see the one in before you get the pin.
18:26Oh, Larry.
18:28Go on.
18:30You got work to do.
18:35Whatever you say goes to me, Luke.
18:37This knocking over a detail of cavalry could be pretty serious.
18:41They might even recognize us.
18:43Dead men don't recognize anybody.
18:45Here they come, Luke.
18:47There they come, Luke.
18:48There they come, Luke.
18:53Let's go.
19:23Did you get all of them?
19:48Yeah, they won't do no talking.
19:49Then everything's all right.
19:51Split the stuff and we'll hightail it for St. Joe.
19:59That's the fifth double eagle you've busted, Luke.
20:02I'm running out of silver.
20:03Maybe we'll have to get some silver to back up our gold.
20:06Doyle, you always did talk too much.
20:09Let us have a drink.
20:10I'll catch up with you later.
20:11I've got to get some debacker.
20:12Thank you so much, Mr. Lathrop.
20:22Such a little girl to be kind of many big bundlers.
20:24Let me take them.
20:26Come on, let's have them.
20:27Please let me pass.
20:29Don't shoot!
20:30That's an old dodge, Freddy.
20:34But it don't work.
20:36Nobody in this town a dare shoot play, Molson.
20:38Even in the back.
20:39Ow!
20:39Ow!
20:51Ow!
21:01Ow!
21:02Are you all right, Miss Langhorne?
21:14Yes, thanks.
21:19How's your brother?
21:20Doing nicely, thanks.
21:22I want to tell you how sorry I am for what happened.
21:25Please, I'd rather not discuss it.
21:26Hell up the pony paro!
21:29What'd you say, Chanky?
21:30The hell up the pony paro!
21:32What?
21:35I've got to get over there quick.
21:37I was accounting on that money, too.
21:41Hey, Dan!
21:42They stuck up your paro!
21:43What?
21:44Out in Red Rock Canyon.
21:45What about the escort?
21:46They're all dead.
21:47Scattered all over the place.
21:49Confederators?
21:50No, just plain raiders.
21:52They were too far away from me to see who they were.
21:54I think I know who did this.
21:56Luke Johnson.
21:57Now, wait a minute.
21:58Ain't supposed to be good judgment, talking out loud like that.
22:01This is most distressing, Garrett.
22:02I trust the loss isn't a serious one.
22:04Sorry to hear about this, Dan.
22:06Serious enough.
22:07It'll be toughest on the boys.
22:08I can't get another payroll through for at least three weeks.
22:10That's most unfortunate.
22:12I'd be glad to personally subscribe.
22:13The boys wouldn't like that, Senator.
22:14Then, uh, might I suggest something like a ball given in the name of St. Joe?
22:19A public gesture.
22:20Anything to provide temporary funds for these gallant, phony express riders.
22:24It'd be splendid, Dan.
22:25The whole town would turn out.
22:27I'd get out an extra edition of the Sentinel and we'd really have a party out of it.
22:30I was terribly proud when they asked me to have the entertainment committee,
22:34but I'll need a lot of help.
22:35That's why I want you to sing a song, and then you'll be able to...
22:38But, Dan, I couldn't do that.
22:39I'd mess the whole thing up.
22:41Besides, Dan Garrett said I had to ride out special tomorrow night.
22:44Well, for heaven's sakes, what for?
22:46There's an army order coming through.
22:48It's mighty important.
22:49They're even sending a special courier from Washington with it.
22:52Well, you'll be here for a little while, won't you?
22:55Oh, sure.
22:55I just got to be ready to ride out fast, that's all.
22:58Well, it seems to me the Yankees could find some other time to send out their orders.
23:02I'm a Yankee.
23:03But you're one of the nice ones.
23:05Even Brett likes you now.
23:07Oh, that reminds me.
23:08I must go to Brett's office to get some money.
23:10Will you be here when I get back?
23:12I sure will.
23:15I think it's a disgrace, Senator.
23:18Everybody in St. Joe knows that Johnson held up the pony payroll.
23:22That he and his men swagger around here as if they owned the place.
23:25Spinning gold pieces like water.
23:27Knowing it is one thing.
23:28Proving it is another.
23:29Remember, he left no witnesses.
23:31No.
23:32A murderer.
23:33Oh, I am dear.
23:34So good to see you.
23:36You're always like a breath of the old self.
23:38Oh, Senator, you do say the prettiest things.
23:41Brett, honey, I need some money.
23:43How much this time?
23:44Oh, lots.
23:44I've got lots to get for the party.
23:47Hey, uh...
23:48How's your shooting mailman?
23:51Why, Brett, you know he's not just a mailman.
23:54He's really important.
23:55When he rides west tomorrow night, he'll carry army dispatches.
23:57He told me so.
23:58Oh, I'm afraid he's spoofing you a bit, as the English say.
24:01All pony riders carry army dispatches.
24:03But not as important as these.
24:04They're coming by special courier from Washington.
24:06Oh, well, that's fine, sugar.
24:08But hadn't you better do your shopping?
24:09Oh, I know.
24:10You and the Senator want to talk over things.
24:12I'll see you at dinner.
24:15Brett, we must get those dispatches.
24:18But how?
24:19Can you arrange to have Johnson meet me here without attracting any attention?
24:22Johnson?
24:23He's the very man we need, my boy.
24:25But, Senator, he's an outlaw, a bandit.
24:28Surely you wouldn't take such a character into our confidence.
24:30For the great cause we both serve, we must use any instrument that comes to our hands.
24:35Get this Johnson here for me tonight.
24:37Very well, sir.
24:51Come in.
24:57Understand you sent for me.
24:59Yes, Johnson, I did.
25:01And I'll come straight to the point.
25:03How would you like to make a lot of money?
25:06Nothing shadier, I hope, Senator.
25:08Nothing shadier than that Pony Express payroll holdup.
25:11I wouldn't if I were you.
25:15What's your proposition?
25:17I thought we'd understand each other.
25:20I want you to raid the Pony Express.
25:23What for?
25:24Of course, pony riders don't carry anything but letters and army dispatches.
25:28There's no money in them.
25:30Johnson?
25:31Whoever controls those dispatches controls the Union troops in California.
25:36So you're working for the South, Senator.
25:38That's what the South thinks.
25:40But I'm working for Calhoun Lasseter.
25:42And when I succeed, California will become the Republic of the Pacific with me at its head.
25:47How do you aim to do that?
25:49Very simply.
25:50With forged orders on the Pony Express.
25:52All right.
25:53Where do I come into all of this?
25:55You're going to raid the Pony Express office here in St. Joe tomorrow night while the ball is going on.
26:00I'd never get away with it.
26:01Why not get there, Ryder, before you reach a St. Joe?
26:05Let me make myself clear.
26:08This mustn't look like a raid on those dispatches.
26:11The motive for an attack on the Express office could be plain robbery.
26:14And during the confusion, you can switch my fake dispatches for the real ones.
26:19And nobody knows about the switch, eh?
26:20That's right.
26:22How about me being recognized?
26:24I can fix that.
26:25The Confederate supply train is camping at Pipestone Wells tonight.
26:28You and your men can get there by dawn.
26:42Why do we have to check these things anyway?
26:44I'm afraid of them.
26:45It's been a Tlasseter's idea.
26:46He said it would prevent any trouble and the men wouldn't prevent it if we answer.
26:50Oh, Roy, check your pistol, please.
26:52For?
26:53Well, this is a respectable party.
26:56We're asking all the men to do it.
26:57But I can't, Ann.
26:58When I leave here, I'm going to have to leave in a hurry.
27:00I better keep them with me.
27:02Oh, Roy, please don't spoil it.
27:03Come on, Roy, and do what the lady asked you.
27:06Well, you're running this party.
27:08Here they are.
27:10Just for that, you may have two dancers.
27:12Say, for three dancers, you can just keep those guns.
27:14Now, listen, don't get a lot of foolish idea in your head.
27:20Is everything ready?
27:21Have you got the uniforms?
27:22Yes, where are the dispatchers?
27:24Right here.
27:26If these get through to California, you'll wear a general's uniform in the Republic of the Pacific.
27:31At this rate, Mrs. Fuhrer, I might wear a rope right here in St. Joe.
27:34You've checked everything?
27:35I'll get word the minute Garrett sends for Rogers.
27:37And then?
27:39Two minutes after that, you'll think the whole Confederate Army has moved into St. Joe.
27:43Good.
27:43Now, don't you worry, nun-ma'am, or just as soon as the dance is over, I'll get you that cameo.
27:58You better.
27:59Folks, there's a pony rider here that can sing just as well as he can ride.
28:17And that's saying a lot.
28:18Miss Langhorne, prod him out.
28:21And I thought you were a pal of mine.
28:23Go on, think.
28:23It's all yours, son.
28:31Out in the bunkhouse, gathering dust, are two comrades' pride and fruit.
28:49Battered, neglected, covered with rust.
28:56I've kept them the long years through.
29:03Rusty spurs hanging there forgotten on the wall.
29:11Wonder if you're dreaming of the days beyond recall.
29:15Symbol of the olden ways, relic of the golden days.
29:22Just a pair of rusty spurs.
29:28Rusty spurs, do you hear the cattle on the trail?
29:35Do you miss the music of the coyote's lonely wail?
29:40What a story you could tell of the days we knew so well.
29:45Dusty pair of rusty spurs.
29:51Where are all the saddle pals we rode with long ago?
29:56All of them have vanished like the herds of buffalo.
30:02Rusty spurs, you're the only keepsake that remains.
30:10All the rest are scattered far and wide across the plains.
30:14Though your riding days are true, I will always treasure you.
30:21Rusty pair of rusty spurs.
30:24The blonde
30:25Please, and I must wave my head as número一 in to the sky.
30:29Oh, my God.
30:30Close-up!
30:31I'm sorry, Miss, but I'll have to leave now.
31:01Oh, it's a shame Roy has to leave.
31:07I do hope nothing happens to him.
31:10I do, too, Ann.
31:12Time to ride, Roy.
31:14All right, where'll I get my guns?
31:15Five?
31:28The red riders are attacking the corners.
31:30Oh, the guns.
31:31Don't unlock them.
31:34Give me the key, quick.
31:35Where is it?
31:36I don't know, I must have lost it.
31:39I understand.
31:40Oh, my God.
32:10Come down the town with all the smokers.
32:16Get down there and head them off.
32:17It's easy to figure out who started this fight, or I want to know who's going to stop it.
32:43Come on, let's get to the corral.
32:48You said, Erson.
32:50Come on, fairie.
32:55Fire out!
32:56Get that fire out!
32:59Let me turn it on the fire.
33:01Roy, you ain't going to take trigger, no gun fight.
33:04I'm not going.
33:05I've got to ride west.
33:06Oh, I forgot.
33:16We'll never make a stick now.
33:18Too many of them.
33:27That's gone, boys.
33:29We've licked them.
33:29Get those dispatchers away.
33:31All right, Lieutenant.
33:32Johnny!
33:35I'll tuck these in your shirt.
33:37You'll attract less attention.
33:38Get one of those loose horses out there and ride west and make it fast.
33:41All right, boss.
33:46That posse is right behind us, Luke.
33:49I know it.
33:50But we've got to get rid of these fake dispatchers.
33:51Johnny Weston, they must have given him the dispatcher.
34:04Well, that'll save you a job, Roy.
34:05There's another job I've got to tend, too.
34:10The raid must be over.
34:13Brett, did you have anything to do with it?
34:19Well, no, Ann.
34:20Then why didn't you let me give them the key?
34:27All right, I'll tell you.
34:29Maybe I should have told you before.
34:32Ann, I'm an agent of the Confederate Secret Service.
34:36Brett!
34:37Oh, now, honey, somebody has to do it.
34:39Oh, but, Brett, that means you're a spy.
34:42Are you ashamed of me?
34:44Oh, no, darling, not ashamed, but afraid.
34:48Why, if you're caught, they'll kill you.
34:49Better kill them back there in the Army, too, sugar.
34:55No, Brett, there's been enough killing for tonight.
34:57Go in there.
34:58Please, Brett, do as I say.
34:59I want to talk to you.
35:18Well, Roy, it's late, and I'm...
35:19It's not too late to find out who's responsible for that raid.
35:23Who did you tell about those dispatches?
35:25Dispatches?
35:26Well, I don't know what you mean.
35:29I was afraid you'd say that.
35:31I trusted you, told you things I had no right to tell you.
35:34And as a result, people have been killed.
35:37That raid wasn't successful, but you did everything you could to help it,
35:41by trying to keep our guns locked up.
35:44Is that all?
35:45Yes, that's all.
35:47Except...
35:47Well?
35:49I guess I'd better go.
35:58Rogers, you're wanted at headquarters.
36:00What for?
36:01You'll find out.
36:02Come on.
36:03I'm sorry, Miss Langhorne, but I'm not too...
36:18Well, my brother isn't here.
36:20I'm not interested in your brother.
36:21My orders are to escort you to Point Express headquarters.
36:24Oh.
36:25Well, very well.
36:26May I get my cloak?
36:27Well, yes, of course.
36:29Garrett says he told you, and you only, those dispatchers were coming in tonight.
36:35Who did you talk to?
36:36I've talked to a heap of people around St. Joe.
36:38So that's your attitude.
36:40Do you realize I could have you taken to Fort Riley under arrest and held there until further...
36:43Just a minute, Lieutenant.
36:45I saw Roy with a six-shooter in each hand, smoking his way to the station.
36:49I'll admit he may be a little careless, but that's all.
36:52And I know how to fix that.
36:54Roy, you'll go to Laramie tonight.
36:56Until further orders, you'll ride west.
36:58Well, you can't find out anything important.
37:00Yes, sir.
37:01Can I take trigger with me?
37:03No, I'm sorry.
37:04What I can't do is my top rider and my fastest horse on the St. Joe run at the same time.
37:07Yes, sir.
37:09Good luck, son.
37:20Miss Langhorne, Lieutenant.
37:22This is an unpleasant duty, Miss Langhorne, but I am forced to inform you that you're under arrest...
37:26...until you can be tried by court-martial.
37:28Court-martial?
37:29Your conduct at the Pony Express Ball tonight gives us every reason to believe you are trying to assist the Raiders.
37:34Lieutenant Harris.
37:35Yes, sir.
37:35You will be responsible for Miss Langhorne's appearance at the trial.
37:39That is all.
37:40Mr. Garrett, can I, uh, get transferred?
38:00Why?
38:01Well, it's sort of a private matter.
38:04All right, Osher, you can go to Deer Lodge.
38:05Is that all right?
38:07Sure.
38:08Sure.
38:08Where are you going, Roy?
38:31Transferred to Laramie.
38:32Well, if Dad burned my buttons, quiet tarnation, didn't you tell me?
38:36I'm transferred, too.
38:38I'm going to Deer Lodge.
38:42You know, Roy, I'm going to miss you.
38:45That goes double, Horseshoe.
38:47Look out for those trades you've been making.
38:49Say, Roy, I ain't never going to trade nothing.
38:52No more.
38:53I thought you didn't want me to come here in daylight.
39:01Ordinarily.
39:02But today, let me read you something.
39:06Here's something that came on today's pony.
39:09One million dollars in gold bullion has been shipped to England on a British flag to avoid Confederate blockade runners.
39:15The vouchers, made to bearer, are payable through the Bank of England agents in New York.
39:19They will be sent by Pony Express to arrive in St. Joe on the 15th.
39:24You realize the importance of this?
39:26I know what a million dollars means.
39:28We failed in getting the dispatchers.
39:30We mustn't fail in this.
39:32We won't.
39:33We'll ready to have a relay station between here and Laramie.
39:35Splendid.
39:36And I'll meet you later at Deer Lodge Station.
39:38I wish he wouldn't come here.
39:49He won't in the future.
39:50Have you seen Anne?
39:51Yes.
39:53She's as comfortable as she can be under the circumstances.
39:56Now I've got to go to Richmond and leave her.
39:58Richmond?
39:59Yes, sir.
40:00Blaine got a tip from his California correspondent.
40:03There's a big shipment of Union gold on his way to England.
40:06Headquarters may want to send a blockade runner after it.
40:08Impossible.
40:09It's being shipped under a British flag.
40:11Then you know about it?
40:12By, uh, yes.
40:13I had, uh, word today on the Pony Mail.
40:16Oh, I have to get word to Richmond.
40:18No.
40:18I forbid you to go.
40:20It may arouse false hopes.
40:22You don't want news of the gold to reach Richmond?
40:25Why?
40:25Brett, you might as well know.
40:27I never intended to take California for the Confederacy.
40:30California is going to become the Republic of the Pacific with me at its head.
40:33And this gold will help me to establish it.
40:35Well, you can't sacrifice the Confederacy to a mad dream like this.
40:39It's far from a dream.
40:41Johnson is on his way now to get the vouchers from the Pony.
40:45And I've got to get to Richmond.
40:57I thought I heard a shot.
40:58A shot?
40:59Mr. Langhorne!
41:07Oh!
41:09I called out to Lawson.
41:13Never.
41:14Never mind, Lawson.
41:16Go to, go to Dan Carrad.
41:19Tell him, tell him I've got to see you, and...
41:22You lie here.
41:24That's...
41:31That's the whole story, Ann.
41:33I'm...
41:33I'm sorry.
41:34I...
41:35I trusted Lasseter.
41:37I would have died for him.
41:42I guess...
41:43That's what I'm going to do.
41:45Oh, Brett, darling, what can I do?
41:47Fine, Rogers.
41:48Tell him the truth.
41:51Tell him to get Lasseter for me.
41:53Oh, there.
41:58There, my dear.
41:58No, don't.
41:59Don't, please, not now.
42:01Tell Lieutenant Harris to take me to Dan Carrad.
42:04Yes.
42:05Yes.
42:08And my brother said that Lasseter would stop at nothing to get those gold vouchers.
42:12Lasseter and Johnson are working together.
42:14Johnson.
42:15We've got to stop this, Trent.
42:18Logan.
42:19Check Logan.
42:19Yes, sir.
42:20You've got to get through the latter of me and warn them.
42:21How much time have I got?
42:22As usual, not enough.
42:23But you've got to get through.
42:25Well, I'll do my best.
42:26Good boy and good luck.
42:27Take trigger.
42:28Yes, sir.
42:29I'll get the cavalry from Fort Riley.
42:31Right.
42:31You're riding to St. Joe today.
42:40But Dan Garrett said that I had to...
42:41I know what Dan said, but this is important.
42:44Today's pony carries gold vouchers that may change the whole course of the war.
42:48It's got to get through to St. Joe.
42:50Yes, sir.
42:51Now, you know the trails between here and St. Joe better than any rider on the pony.
42:55That's why I'm sending you.
42:56Oh, he's coming in.
43:09He's badly hurt.
43:11Raiders.
43:13Anywhere the gold vouchers are safe.
43:15On your way, Roy.
43:26The pony rider's coming.
43:51He'll have heard our firing.
43:52We'd better meet him before he gets away.
43:54Come on.
43:56Come on.
44:26Road agents, look out for him.
44:37We'll never get him now with that fresh horse.
45:07That don't matter.
45:08They'll get him at Deer Lodge.
45:09Right.
45:09Chet Logan.
45:12Do you think you can make it to Deer Lodge old timer?
45:34Trigger.
45:36Trigger.
45:37Trigger.
45:38Trigger.
45:39Frigga!
45:59What's the idea of heaven is out here?
46:01If our pony rider thinks we're already like,
46:04he'll think everything's all right and come riding on in.
46:09Crap, eh?
46:11Yeah.
46:21Roy!
46:27Roy! Get back!
46:29Get back!
46:39Roy!
46:47Roy, Trigger!
46:48Roy!
46:51Never mind the rider!
46:52Let's get the horse!
46:53Come on!
46:55Move!
46:56Come on!
46:57Come on!
46:58Come on!
47:03Come on!
47:04How bad are you hitting?
47:05I'll treasure my head for your arm.
47:07Let's get after them scopes.
47:09I'll treasure my head for your arm.
47:11Let's get after them scopes.
47:25I hold that up.
47:39Don't shoot.
48:03If he thinks we'll never get the vouchers.
48:06All right. We'll circle around and catch him when he gets to the other shore.
48:29Get triggered. This ain't Joe. I'll try to hold him back.
48:32Come on. We've got to get that horse.
48:40Come on. We've got to get that horse.
48:42Come on.
48:44Come on.
48:46Come on.
48:48Come on.
48:50Come on.
48:52Come on.
48:53Come on.
48:54Come on.
48:55Come on.
48:56Come on.
48:57Come on.
48:58Come on.
48:59Come on.
49:00Come on.
49:01Come on.
49:02Come on.
49:03Come on.
49:04Come on.
49:05Come on.
49:06Come on.
49:07Come on.
49:08Come on.
49:09Come on.
49:10Come on.
49:11Come on.
49:12Johnson and your men are after me.
49:29Forward, ho!
49:42Too many of them.
49:43Let's get out of here.
50:12Let's go.
50:42Let's go.
51:12Let's go.
51:22Robert sent me through with today's pony.
51:25Have you seen anything of Horseshoe and Trigger?
51:27They're all right.
51:27Probably in St. Joe by now.
51:29I saved the mojila.
51:40Well, good work, Horseshoe.
51:42I'll see that you're promoted for this.
51:45And a mighty good job, even if I do say it myself.
51:49That's him, Marshal.
51:50That's the man that swittled me out of my cameo.
51:53Oh, Mrs. Murphy.
51:54Come here.
51:55You're under arrest.
51:56What's this?
51:57Well, there's quite a lot to it, Roy.
51:58But the main part reads something like this.
51:59I suggest that Miss Langhorne be immediately released to the custody of Roy Rogers.
52:03Signed, Lieutenant J.J.
52:04Trent.
52:05Did you stand for this prisoner, Dan?
52:06Oh, yes.
52:07Yes.
52:08How would you like to trade him for a nice cameo brooch?
52:12And they're throwing one of Trigger's pet shoes to boot.
52:33Good luck.
52:35I'll see you later.
