00:00:00Gold was the magic word that sent hundreds, then thousands of men, swarming into the vast territory of California.
00:00:18The lust for gold soon became a raging fever that brought death to conscience and honor.
00:00:24Fear and violence spread throughout the land. Those who tried to enforce the law were destroyed, as were many of the innocent.
00:00:34The courts were powerless to keep order, and the guilty went unpunished.
00:00:40Mob rule reigned, and the times were ripe for those who would control at any cost.
00:00:54I say we've got to stop all this violence, murders, robberies.
00:01:01Why, it's getting so a man's got to sleep with a gun under his pillow.
00:01:04What else do you expect?
00:01:05Right, and you're going to keep on having violence until California joins the union.
00:01:09Yeah, when's that going to be?
00:01:10We've been here not for months.
00:01:12Congress adjourned before taking action.
00:01:13Oh, it takes time, that takes time.
00:01:15But this territory's going to be a state, now you'll see.
00:01:18We'll petition Governor Mason at Monterey. We'll tell him to call that constitution meeting or else.
00:01:23That's the ticket. Cummings is right.
00:01:25I've got a better idea.
00:01:28Why don't we send friend Cummings to Washington? He'll build a fire under those senators.
00:01:32Now that's talking.
00:01:33Now we're getting some. Cummings is our man.
00:01:35Now, Jan, you know I can't go no place. Me and the missus gotta get the crops in.
00:01:39Politics is more important than crops.
00:01:41You tell that to Mrs. Cummings.
00:01:43You riding my way, Jan?
00:01:44I've a lot of shopping to do for Mary.
00:01:46She gave me a list a yard long.
00:01:48See you later, neighbor.
00:01:49Hey, Congress got an idea that we don't know anything down here.
00:01:53Statehood's the only answer, man.
00:01:55I think coming.
00:02:16What's the idea?
00:02:19I ain't got no money.
00:02:22Guess not, Cummings.
00:02:23Seems how you forgot to pay your mortgage installment.
00:02:25Installment?
00:02:27I didn't take out any mortgage.
00:02:29You've been so busy talking politics, you must have forgot.
00:02:32That farm of yours is now owned by the Sierra Land Corporation.
00:02:35No. No, it ain't.
00:02:38It says different here.
00:02:39Now all you have to do is sign the deed.
00:02:41I won't do it.
00:02:42You'd better think it over.
00:02:51And if I do sign it, what then?
00:02:54I will let you get back to your farm.
00:03:24You usually take a shot.
00:03:25The other day, I will be looking for you.
00:03:26You look at the bank.
00:03:27You just shoot a shot.
00:03:28You sure you don't know anything.
00:03:29This is for the bank.
00:03:30But the bank will get the bank.
00:03:31You need to get back to your house.
00:03:32You've got the bank.
00:03:33You're gonna be supposed to get the bank.
00:03:34He'll find the bank.
00:03:35You're gonna be.
00:03:36You.
00:03:37Suck a child.
00:03:38All you got everything.
00:03:39Look at the bank.
00:03:40You.
00:03:41You're gonna be.
00:03:42You're gonna be.
00:03:43A million.
00:03:44You're gonna be.
00:03:45A million.
00:03:46You're gonna get the bank.
00:03:47You're gonna be.
00:03:48I'm gonna be.
00:03:49You're gonna be.
00:03:50Mary?
00:03:52Mary?
00:03:56Mary?
00:03:58Is that you, James?
00:04:00Been expecting somebody else?
00:04:04I'm so crazy about my own husband.
00:04:10Just for that, you get a present.
00:04:12I do? What, is it in there?
00:04:14Come into the drawing room and receive it properly.
00:04:24Mrs. Morell,
00:04:26oblige me by accepting this humble gift
00:04:28from your devoted spouse.
00:04:30I'd be pleased to accept, kind sir.
00:04:34Oh.
00:04:36Oh, it's beautiful.
00:04:40But wasn't it awfully expensive?
00:04:42Kind of.
00:04:44Oh.
00:04:50I'll wear it as long as I live.
00:04:52I'll make up the cost, darling.
00:04:54I'll squeeze every penny until it hollers.
00:04:56If that stream out there keeps paying off,
00:04:58we won't have to scrimp anymore.
00:05:00I've got another surprise.
00:05:02It's a letter from Uncle Ned.
00:05:04Says he's located some mighty nice farming land
00:05:06up in Napa Valley.
00:05:08Do you think we could leave soon?
00:05:10A couple of more halls like this,
00:05:12and we'll be all set.
00:05:14Our own farm.
00:05:16Sort of miss it here.
00:05:22The river's been good to us.
00:05:24You and Frank have worked like dogs
00:05:26for every speck of gold you've got.
00:05:28No nuggets the size of walnuts came your way.
00:05:30Is Frank still at it?
00:05:32Mm-hmm.
00:05:33Go hustle him up.
00:05:34Stuff is about ready.
00:05:46What do you want?
00:06:08Maybe we stopped in for supper.
00:06:10Who are you? Why are you here?
00:06:12You're not very hospitable, ma'am.
00:06:14Get out.
00:06:15Don't start to scream.
00:06:19Where's the gold?
00:06:21What gold?
00:06:22We heard you two talking.
00:06:23Where is it?
00:06:24That's all there is.
00:06:25You want me to slap your pretty face?
00:06:27Speak up!
00:06:32Get out of here, all of you!
00:06:33All right, boys, start looking.
00:06:38You're a regular spitfire, aren't you?
00:06:41Take her in there and shut her up.
00:06:43Fire!
00:06:47Hurry it up.
00:06:58Come on, Frank.
00:06:59Stuff is about ready.
00:07:00There's still daylight.
00:07:01We've got to keep putting in our legs
00:07:03or we'll never end up in that mansion on Knob Hill.
00:07:05A little farm's all I want.
00:07:07That's too young to settle down.
00:07:09One of these days, a nice girl will come along.
00:07:12You'll settle down.
00:07:13Go and wash up.
00:07:14Yeah, as soon as I clean up this riffle box.
00:07:16As soon as I clean up this riffle box.
00:07:18Up?
00:07:20Come on.
00:07:21Go get our handsitoed corner.
00:07:23Come on.
00:07:24Hey, boys.
00:07:25Look here.
00:07:26Hey, boys, look here.
00:07:47This is more like it.
00:07:48Hey, that's quite a hole, huh, Clarkie boy?
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:50I figured them guys getting calluses on their pinkies digging this stuff.
00:08:05Pretty, ain't it?
00:08:07Hey, you didn't have to.
00:08:08Hey, get back.
00:08:20What about his claim?
00:08:31That's a dead man going to prove it was his claim.
00:08:47Let's go.
00:08:50Hey.
00:08:59Let's see.
00:09:19Jam! Jam! What happened?
00:09:29They cleaned us out.
00:09:38Who are those men?
00:09:40Mary.
00:09:42Mary.
00:09:59Mary.
00:10:02Mary.
00:10:05Mary.
00:10:09Mary.
00:10:13Mary.
00:10:18Mary.
00:10:21Mary.
00:10:25If it takes the rest of my life, I'll get every murdering one of them.
00:10:51We gotta start someplace.
00:10:58Come on, girl. I got $50 on your head.
00:11:05You don't want any ruckus in here. Circulate.
00:11:12We don't want any ruckus in here. Circulate.
00:11:42Who's been spending the most money tonight?
00:12:01Well, it's Saturday night and the sky's the limit.
00:12:04Why are you asking?
00:12:06Somebody broke into our cabin today.
00:12:09We had a stake saved up.
00:12:11They took that and killed his wife.
00:12:14There were four of them.
00:12:16What's your name?
00:12:17Jan Morrell.
00:12:18It's my brother Frank.
00:12:19Can you identify the men?
00:12:23No, not exactly.
00:12:25Then you're out of luck.
00:12:27You could describe them, we'd hold a miner's court right here.
00:12:30As it is, well, what can you do?
00:12:36What's the difference?
00:12:40How long are you TLB out of your batch?
00:12:45Mm-hm.
00:12:51Come on, let's go.
00:13:21Beat it. Janet.
00:13:25I'm done.
00:13:45He dropped the ball, Tom.
00:13:46I wonder who they were.
00:13:47Never mind, I'll take care of him.
00:13:52Can you set your horse, senor?
00:13:53We must go at once.
00:13:54Oh?
00:13:56Where?
00:13:58Who are you?
00:13:58Hey, friend.
00:13:59Come on.
00:14:06My brother.
00:14:07I'm afraid it's too late, senor.
00:14:08Leave everything to me.
00:14:32Who's he?
00:14:32His name is Morales.
00:14:34Let me help you, senor.
00:14:35Why did you bring him here?
00:14:36He needs us.
00:14:38And we need him.
00:14:45I've got to find them.
00:14:48Four of them.
00:14:52They killed my wife.
00:14:53Listen, you must rest.
00:14:55My brother.
00:14:55We want to help you.
00:14:58I've got to find him.
00:15:05Who are you?
00:15:06I'm Felipe de Ortega.
00:15:07This is my sister.
00:15:09My name is Elena.
00:15:11We are friends.
00:15:12Look down there.
00:15:29All they land from here to the horizon
00:15:31was once the Rancho de Ortega.
00:15:32Quite an outfit.
00:15:37Ainsworth stole it from my father.
00:15:40That's what killed him.
00:15:41Thomas Ainsworth, the Alcalde?
00:15:42Yes.
00:15:44I thought you said it belonged to the Sierra Land Company.
00:15:47Ainsworth is the Sierra Land Company.
00:15:49Not many know that.
00:15:51And if anybody asks questions,
00:15:52his position as the governor's representative protects him.
00:15:55But it will not protect him forever.
00:15:57No.
00:15:58But one day when California becomes a state,
00:16:00the cause will protect us.
00:16:02We can't do much but wait and hope for that day.
00:16:05I'm tired of waiting.
00:16:06You settle your score, I'll settle mine.
00:16:08But wait.
00:16:09The men you want, you don't even know their names.
00:16:12Do you?
00:16:13No.
00:16:14But Ainsworth does.
00:16:15Your wife and brother were killed because he wanted your claim.
00:16:17What would a rich man like him want with my claim?
00:16:20It is said that the mother Lowe dissented in this district.
00:16:24Whoever controls these lands will be the richest man in the world.
00:16:28How do I know you're telling me the truth?
00:16:30You can prove it.
00:16:30Go to the Sierra Land Company's office in San Andres.
00:16:33Ask for a record of your claim.
00:16:34Welcome, Senor Sterling.
00:17:00Good morning, Vicente.
00:17:01Everybody well?
00:17:02The health of El Alcalde is excellent, Senor.
00:17:04Also the Senorita.
00:17:06Good.
00:17:15Hello, Sam.
00:17:16It's good to see you.
00:17:17Elizabeth, my dear.
00:17:18You look ravishing.
00:17:20As always.
00:17:21Why aren't you 20 years younger and a bachelor?
00:17:23Well, if I were, you think your father let me near you?
00:17:25He's going to have to learn someday that he can't tyrannize over everybody, especially me.
00:17:29I second the motion.
00:17:30But don't you tell him I said so.
00:17:32Father's in court.
00:17:33I'll tell him you're here.
00:17:34Go in and make yourself comfortable.
00:17:35Father, Sam Sterling's arrived.
00:17:42Go ahead.
00:17:43I'll be there in a minute.
00:17:47Welch.
00:17:48Yeah, Mr. Answorth.
00:17:53We took care of these claims around Angel's camp.
00:17:55Yeah, so I heard.
00:17:57I don't like your methods, Welch.
00:18:01There's an accident about that miner's wife, sir.
00:18:03She turned on us and we...
00:18:04I'm not interested in details.
00:18:07One of these days, you're going to leave a trail that'll be picked up.
00:18:09See if you can't get results with less violence.
00:18:17The governor's sending a marshal out to look things over.
00:18:19I don't want him getting nosy.
00:18:20All right, Mr. Answorth.
00:18:29Now, Elizabeth, don't tell me a beautiful young creature like you
00:18:32doesn't have at least a dozen offers of marriage a week.
00:18:34Oh, offers, yes.
00:18:36But the minute the poor lad's getting out on bended knee,
00:18:38father takes a whack at him.
00:18:40Anybody think I didn't want to part with him?
00:18:42The truth is, I haven't met any young galoots around these parts
00:18:45who could handle him.
00:18:46How are you, Sam?
00:18:47Fine.
00:18:48I hope you had a good trip.
00:18:49Stage was right on time.
00:18:50Good.
00:18:50Well, Elizabeth, you'll have to visit with Dora and me.
00:18:52We're spending some time in Monterey.
00:18:54We'll find you a young man with spirit.
00:18:56It's an idea.
00:18:56The country's getting on my nerves.
00:18:58I'm going for a gallop while you and father
00:19:00settle the affairs of the territory.
00:19:02See you later.
00:19:03Bye.
00:19:03Bye.
00:19:04Oh, Sam, good news, I hope.
00:19:05Not too good, Tom.
00:19:07No.
00:19:07Governor Mason's finally decided to call
00:19:09a constitutional convention at Monterey.
00:19:11Delegates are coming from all over the territory.
00:19:14Most of the important ones are in favor of statehood.
00:19:16Fremont and Captain Sutter, for example.
00:19:18Oh, buy them off, then.
00:19:20Union means the United States Land Commission
00:19:22snooping around, investigating my titles.
00:19:24We've got to stop it.
00:19:25You'll have to convince a lot of people.
00:19:27Popular sentiment's in favor of union.
00:19:29Hang popular sentiment.
00:19:31People will believe whatever their leaders want them to believe.
00:19:33All we've got to do is to make sure that the right men
00:19:37come out in favor of independence.
00:19:39It'll take money.
00:19:40A lot of money.
00:19:41How much?
00:19:42All you can raise, and in a hurry.
00:19:43Events are moving fast, Tom.
00:19:45Yeah, you'll have a shipment of gold in two weeks.
00:19:47There'll be more when you need it.
00:19:49To the Independent Republic of California.
00:19:52To California.
00:19:53I checked my claim.
00:20:23It's like you said.
00:20:24The Sierra Land agent swore I never had a claim.
00:20:27Said that all that land belongs to the Alcalde.
00:20:31You won't solve anything that way, Jan.
00:20:34I heard what happened to Cummings, too.
00:20:36After tonight, Ainsworth won't order any more killings.
00:20:39You won't even get past the guards.
00:20:41I have a plan, senor.
00:20:43We've been waiting for you.
00:20:53This is Jan Morata.
00:20:56Marty Smith.
00:20:56Hi.
00:20:57Dick and Boone Logan.
00:20:58Hello.
00:20:58How are you?
00:20:59Mountain Jim Ferris.
00:21:00Hiya.
00:21:02My cousins, Juan and Ramon Castillo.
00:21:04Mucho gusto.
00:21:05Comercial.
00:21:05We are here because every one of us has a score to settle with Ainsworth.
00:21:10Maybe not as great as yours.
00:21:11But each of us has lost everything he had.
00:21:14Alone without the proper courts, we can never get justice.
00:21:17But if we band together, share all risk, fight Ainsworth with his own weapon.
00:21:21Philippe.
00:21:22You don't know what you're saying.
00:21:24You've become outlaws, hunted men.
00:21:25We've made up our minds, Elena.
00:21:28Jan, please don't listen to him.
00:21:31You said you had a plan.
00:21:32We'll seize Ainsworth's wealth wherever and whenever we can.
00:21:35We'll bankrupt him, force him to return the lands.
00:21:40When do we start?
00:21:41Tonight.
00:21:51Nice-looking herd of horses.
00:22:03The best on the coast.
00:22:05My father bred them.
00:22:06They'll bring a nice price in Monterrey.
00:22:09There may be some vaqueros down there.
00:22:11Juan, Ramon.
00:22:12Si, Felipe.
00:22:12Circle through the trees and be careful.
00:22:14Muy bien.
00:22:15Why don't we unsaddle our horses and walk them into the herd?
00:22:18The moon's about right.
00:22:19Sounds good to me.
00:22:21When you reach the herd, mount up and wait for my signal.
00:22:27Adios.
00:22:27If all goes well, we'll be back in a week.
00:22:30Adios, Felipe.
00:22:32Goodbye, Jan.
00:22:33Good luck.
00:22:35Thanks.
00:22:37You'd better go now, Elena.
00:22:39I shall pray that you won't be hurt.
00:22:51I shall pray.
00:23:12Bye.
00:23:13I don't know.
00:23:43Oh, my God.
00:24:13Nice welcome home greeting from El Senor Alcalde.
00:24:24$5,000.
00:24:25He'll offer ten times that much before we're through.
00:24:28Marty, you and Mountain Jim know what you to do.
00:24:31Yep.
00:24:31Say, Jan, if it's all right with you, I think I might ride up to El Soledad.
00:24:36See how Ainsworth is making up with my claim.
00:24:38Well, be careful, Jim.
00:24:39We need you.
00:24:40Don't worry about me.
00:24:42Marty, when you get to San Andreas, pick up some ammunition.
00:24:44Right.
00:24:45Felipe, for the new office.
00:24:47It's a pleasure.
00:24:49I'll see you at the cabin.
00:24:50Come on, boys.
00:24:51Hasta la vista.
00:24:51Stay where you are.
00:25:08Hold your fire, Abby.
00:25:09It's me, Mountain Jim.
00:25:11I didn't expect to see a friend.
00:25:13You've got lots of friends, Abby.
00:25:16And you're going to see John Cummins with her and kids go hungry.
00:25:19Here, take this.
00:25:21What?
00:25:21Did you make another strike, Jim?
00:25:23Well, call it that if you want to, but that's for you to buy yourself a decent home.
00:25:28I'd be afraid, don't another farm.
00:25:30Look here, Abby.
00:25:33There's a new company going to open up for business soon.
00:25:35The Sunset Land Company.
00:25:37Deal with them.
00:25:38You won't be bothered.
00:25:39Oh, Jan, I'm so glad you're back.
00:25:58Hello, Elena.
00:26:00Did everything go the way you wanted it?
00:26:02Everything went fine.
00:26:03Where's Felipe?
00:26:05In San Andreas.
00:26:07All right, boys, find yourself some shelter.
00:26:09You look tired.
00:26:21Why don't you sit down?
00:26:22I'll give you something to eat.
00:26:24While you were gone, I didn't have much to do, so I improved my cooking.
00:26:28You may have your choice of enchiladas with frijoles or enchiladas without frijoles.
00:26:34You suppose you could manage some frijoles without frijoles?
00:26:36No, that I can't.
00:26:42It's good to see you smile.
00:26:43Jan, why don't you start over again, without bitterness?
00:26:55Already two men have been killed.
00:26:59Their reward notice is up for you.
00:27:02You must stop, Jan.
00:27:03Not until I do what I have to.
00:27:07And after it's done, what have you gained?
00:27:09You can't bring back your wife.
00:27:11You're only destroying yourself.
00:27:12The United States Marshal is in San Andreas now.
00:27:18Why don't you talk to him?
00:27:20Without witnesses?
00:27:22There's only one way to get them.
00:27:24The way we're doing it.
00:27:25You don't have to be part of it.
00:27:31But I am part of it, though.
00:27:33Don't you see?
00:27:37Maybe you'd better find a safer place.
00:27:41I'm not afraid for myself.
00:27:42We back up our loans to protect your claims.
00:28:06I hope they mean what they say.
00:28:08It's about time the Sierra Land Company got some competition.
00:28:11You think they'll be able to stand us?
00:28:13Why not?
00:28:14You support them, they will.
00:28:15Well, I for one, well.
00:28:16All right.
00:28:20Baines were thinking of life, this.
00:28:22You better get over and get that outfit blasted before they get started.
00:28:25The Marshal's hanging around too close.
00:28:28Besides, they've got other things to do.
00:28:59I'll have a dozen boxes of cartridges.
00:29:11This size here.
00:29:13All right, help yourself.
00:29:16I'll take it.
00:29:18Well, I'll allow you 25 on this one.
00:29:21That'll be $75, Mr. Purvis.
00:29:23It's high, but good guns are scarce.
00:29:25And that will...
00:29:26Yeah, Ainsworth will pay for it.
00:29:28All right.
00:29:29Is he working for Ainsworth?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:36He's going to ride guard tomorrow when the Alcaldi's daughter goes to Monterey.
00:29:40That Ainsworth keeps close tabs on his belongings.
00:29:45He should.
00:29:46A Man soul under myitations.
00:29:46It's ham pequeÃąa.
00:29:48It'sules I have broken the locks.
00:29:52A man ship.
00:29:53A man ship.
00:29:54A man ship.
00:29:55A man ship.
00:29:56A man ship.
00:29:57A man ship.
00:29:58I can't wait.

00:31:25An extra guard, huh?
00:31:27Maybe the Alcalde is protecting something more valuable than his daughter.
00:31:32It's a gamble.
00:31:34We'll take it.
