00:00.
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Hello, Dan.
01:08How are you, John?
01:09Where you been hiding out?
01:10Sit down and tell me all about yourself.
01:13Well, ain't nothing much to tell, son.
01:15Been doing some repair work around the place.
01:18Kind of expected you out.
01:20Well, I was figuring on getting out tomorrow night.
01:24Thought I'd try and even up that cribbage score.
01:27Come ahead.
01:28I've got to run over to King City tomorrow,

01:34Just drawing out all my money.
01:37I'm going to restock the ranch.
01:39Now that you're a sheriff,
01:40I reckon the rustlers won't be so active.
01:44I want the old place to look tip-top
01:46before Bess gets home next year.
01:49She's all I got, John.
01:52And I'm going to see she's comfortably fixed.
01:55I understand, Dan.
01:56And I'll do all I can to help.
02:00I owe you a lot.
02:02You've been as close to me as my own father would have been.
02:05Shucks, son.
02:05You don't owe me nothing.
02:07It's been great to see you grow up into a real man.
02:12You don't know how proud I was when you got elected, Sherry.
02:16I reckon I'll be drifting along.
02:18Why'd you better not watch that roll?
02:19You might not get home.
02:20No, I'm all right.
02:22Nobody's going to hold me up.

06:25I'm going to go back to town.
06:55Dad.
07:25And it's left absolutely no clue.
07:43Gentlemen.
07:44You'll be needing a new share.
07:49I'm through.
07:51This job has brought me the greatest sorrow a man can ever know.
07:54I've killed my best friend.
07:59You were only doing your duty Higgins.
08:02Why take it so to heart.
08:04And duty makes it necessary to take the life of a man like old Dan Matthews.
08:10And then I'm through with duty.
08:12Well there is positive proof that he was one of the gang.
08:15I'm here song ties horse behind Wells Fargo.
08:19The evidence is too strongly against.
08:22Circumstantial evidence has convicted many a man.
08:25Dixon.
08:26And I still believe that Dan Matthews is innocent.
08:31I'd like to see you at the office Mr. Williams.
08:34I'll be right over John.
08:38Well Williams.
08:40I guess you get your old job back.
08:42Well.
08:43My eyes are not as good.
08:45My hands are not as fast.
08:47But.
08:48I'll take the job until you can get a better man.
08:50That's right.
08:51Fair enough.
08:52Fair enough.
09:06When Dan Matthews left here, he'd just draw all his money out of the bank.
09:14We're going to restock his ranch and get it in shape for his daughter, who's coming out this next year.
09:22This money was on, Dan, when I found it.
09:28I wish you'd see that his daughter gets it.
09:31It's rightfully hers.
09:33I'll keep it for her, John.
09:35No one will ever know.
09:38Thanks.
09:39I've been about a year since Higgins left town now.
09:45I saw him about six months ago.
09:47He was in town cashing in some nuggets.
09:49He's turned desert rat, you know.
09:50Must have hit him pretty hard, shooting old Dan.
09:55Never saw anything like it.
09:57He's like a dead man, walking around with the weight of the world in his heart.
10:01What about Dan's daughter?
10:03I had a letter from her a few weeks ago.
10:05Say she's figuring out coming out here soon.
10:07Huh?
10:07I think she'd be better off back east with her aunt.
10:11Same as I think John's better off out yonder.
10:14He's a strange fellow.
10:16Case outlawed.
10:18Says there to blame for him shooting old Dan.
10:37Mr. Jody.
10:46Mr. Jody.
11:02Well, don't try to talk, son.
11:03I'll have you in camp before night.
11:04I'll have you in camp before night.
11:07Well, don't try to talk, son.
11:16I'll have you in camp before night.
11:29Black Eagle.

12:18All right, Black Eagle.
12:19I don't know any place I'd rather be.
12:30Mighty nice of you to give me this ring, Black Eagle.
12:33You keep me, my people, your friends.
12:40Well, thanks.
12:41I won't forget.
13:10I'll be awfully glad to get home.
13:11You see, I'm Beth Matthews, and I own the Lazy M Ranch.

20:06There's your express money.
20:08I might have known it was you.
20:12That young lady whose life was in your hands just left here.
20:15She told me.
20:16She told me.
20:17She told me everything.
20:21She told me.
20:22She told me.
20:23She told me.
20:27She told me.
20:29John.
20:30John.
20:31She told me.
20:32She told me.
20:33She told me.
20:34She's coming back here.
20:35She's coming back here.
20:36She's coming back here shortly.
20:37I'm going to drive her out to the Lazy Inn.
20:39She thinks there's an income from the ranch.
20:42The money that we've got here.
20:44She told me.
20:45You'll need a cool head to spend it.
20:47John.
20:49I'll never get away with it.
20:54She knows I will.
20:55Who's going to tell her.
20:57She'll find out sometime yes.
20:59But in the meantime.
21:01Let's put the old Lazy Inn back on its feet.
21:04Just the way old Dan would like it.
21:06What do you say.
21:09I'll try sure.
21:10Good.
21:11There's your room.
21:12Clothes and everything just as you left them.
21:14After you shave and clean up.
21:16No one will ever know you.
21:18Come out at the ranch tonight about.
21:20Eight o'clock.
21:21All right Ed.
21:22I'll be there.
21:24You've got the finest springs.
21:26The best grazing ground in the valley.
21:29The best grazing ground in the valley.
21:32The best grazing ground in the valley.
21:35The best grazing ground in the valley.
21:38All right.
21:39John Higgins is foreman.
21:41You have the old Lazy M back on its feet in six months time.
21:46That's him now.
21:51Good evening Sheriff.
21:52Well hello John.
22:00Miss Matthews.
22:01I want you to meet my friend John Higgins.
22:03I'm glad to know you Mr Higgins.
22:06Won't you sit out.
22:08The sheriff's been telling me about your thrilling experience.
22:14Thrilling.
22:15It was terrific.
22:17That bandit was the most hideous.
22:19The most horrible creature that ever was born.
22:21You don't say.
22:23A regular blue beard eh.
22:25Worries.
22:28That's Aunt Martha.
22:29Best cook in the country.
22:31Oh I remember Aunt Martha.
22:32Sure you do.
22:33She just about raised you.
22:34Aunt Martha.
22:35Best Matthews.
22:36How you have grown.
22:37And you didn't forget me.
22:38Certainly not.
22:39Well you shouldn't.
22:40I spanked you a plenty when you was a brat.
22:42John Higgins.
22:43John Higgins.
22:44I might have known I'd have to cook for you.
22:45Best.
22:46You're getting the best foreman in the country.
22:48But the worst eater.
22:49He's got an appetite like a camel.
22:50What do you mean my appetite.
22:51It's a swell way you cook.
22:52Oh there you go.
22:53Always flappin'.
22:54And what's more.
22:55He leans back and breaks every chair in the kitchen.
22:56My goodness you boys are so good.
22:57You're so good.
22:58You're so good.
22:59You're so good.
23:00You're so good.
23:01You're so good.
23:02You're so good.
23:03You're so good.
23:04You're so good.
23:05You're so good.
23:06You're so good.
23:07You're so good.
23:08You're so good.
23:09I believe you are.
23:10Mm-hmm.
23:11I believe that's the best way you cook.
23:12Well there you go always flappin'.
23:13And what's more.
23:14He leans back and breaks every chair in the kitchen.
23:16My goodness you boys are sitting there without a thing to drink.
23:21Come on Bess we'll fix him some coffee.
23:23See.
23:28Everything's workin' out fine.
23:33Well so far.
23:35How's it all going to end?
23:53There's the end of the south pasture, Miss Matthews.
23:55Now I guess you've seen about all the ranch.
23:57It certainly is big enough.
24:07I'll pick up a couple of boys and start repairing the fences
24:10and see if I can't develop some new water holes.
24:12You know, it's strange.
24:14But your voice keeps reminding me of...
24:17Of Mr. Bluebeard?
24:18Yes.
24:19Well, I'm sorry I might change it.
24:23I can talk up here like this.
24:24Don't be silly.
24:25You know, that was the only thing about Mr. Bluebeard
24:30that was halfway human.
24:32Shall we go back to the ranch?
24:34If you wish.
24:45Well, Ed.
24:46Hello, Bob.
24:47How's the ex-sheriff making out at Lazy Air?
24:50All right, I guess.
24:52Been there three months and he's worked out a deal with the government.
24:54Uh-huh.
24:55I want to raise horses and sell them to him.
24:57Need some dandy buys, too.
24:58And Miss Beth.
25:00How is she like country and ranch life?
25:02Crazy about it.
25:03You're recording Aunt Martha.
25:04Uh-huh.
25:05Well, that's fine.
25:07John, tomorrow night's Halloween.
25:10Aunt Martha says they're having the biggest dance of the year at Bolter's Barn.
25:13Let's go.
25:14Well, I guess it has been kind of lonesome for you.
25:17Three months now and you haven't been off the ranch.
25:19Oh, I haven't been lonesome exactly.
25:22I've enjoyed being with you.
25:24Our rides and evenings for the fire.
25:26I've enjoyed them, too.
25:27It's the first time you've said so.
25:29You've always been so strange and different.
25:32Don't you like me?
25:33Well, that's just it, Beth.
25:35I...
25:36Well, someday you're going to hate me.
25:39It's inevitable.
25:41When that time comes, I'm leaving this part of the country for good.
25:45Now, you tell Aunt Martha that I'm taking you two to the dance.
25:47Well, for pity's sakes, child, what on earth's the matter with you?
26:13You're as pale as a ghost.
26:14I'm all right.
26:15But Aunt Martha, John says someday I'll hate him.
26:19What's the matter with him?
26:20Why will I hate him?
26:22Now, listen, honey.
26:23All men act like jackasses when they're in love.
26:26That's exactly what's the matter with John Higgins.
26:28He's head over heels in love with you.
26:30But don't worry.
26:31We'll just let matters take their own course.
26:34Like this fellow Spearshake says, all's well that ends well.
26:39Oh, John says he's taking us to the dance tonight.
26:42Yes, I know.
26:43He told me this morning.
26:45He did?
26:46Mm-hmm.
26:51Come on.
27:05Good job.
27:07Come on.
27:07Howdy, Bobby!
27:08Let it start off like they're all going to have a good time.
27:11Good evening, Ed.
27:13Quite a crowd.
27:15Looks like the whole country's gonna be here.
27:17Got a match, John?
27:19Yeah, I think so.
27:25Where'd you get that ring?
27:27It's a gift from old Black Eagle.
27:29I thought I'd lost it.
27:33Miss Hawkins, meet Miss Matthews.
27:35I'm so glad to meet you, Miss Matthews.
27:37I must see Miss Jones.
27:39Yes.
27:41She sure is the belle of the ball, all right.
27:53Oh, Beth.
27:55I want you to know Mr. Dixon.
27:57How do you do? How do you do?
27:59Miss Matthews is boss of the Lazy M.
28:01Oh, it's a pleasure to know you, Miss Matthews.
28:03May I have the honor of the first dance?
28:05I'm sorry, but that's spoken for.
28:07But you may have the second.
28:08Oh, thank you.
28:09I'm lucky.
28:10Hmm.
28:11I should say so.
28:12I'll see you on the next day.
28:21Good night, everybody.
28:22Just a minute.
28:23Just a minute.
28:24Now we're gonna start this dance off with a nice, dreamy waltz.
28:29I'll save this first dance for you.
28:30Well, I hope I don't disappoint you.
28:31I'm not much of a dancer.
28:35I'm terribly happy.
28:36I'm glad.
28:37Being in a crowd must make a difference.
28:39It's not the crowd.
28:40I'm happy.
28:41Because I'm in your arms.
28:42It could only be like that.
28:46Mighty Strange dancing with her foreman.
28:47And he the man what killed her father.

30:22Act like nothing's happened.
30:23This is the first clue we've had since the robbery.
30:26I'll watch every move those Martins make.
30:33Yes, indeed, Miss Matthews.
30:34Your father and I were very close friends.
30:37Mr. Dixon,
30:39I've asked so many people about my father,
30:41and they've all evaded my question.
30:44Won't you tell me how he was killed?
30:46Well, I really think you ought to know.
30:48You won't hold it against me if I tell you.
30:51Certainly not.
30:53Well, your foreman killed your father, Miss Matthews.
30:57My...
30:58You mean...
31:00Mr. Higgins killed my father?
31:03You see, he was sheriff at the time.
31:06He had the law behind him.
31:08They fought it out alone.
31:10There were no witnesses,
31:11so no one ever learned the truth about the killing.
31:14Hold, hold!
31:16Now get your partners for the machines.
31:18I'll see you out there!
31:19I'll see you out there!
31:19Oh!
31:20Oh!
31:20Oh!
31:25Now salute your pardon, then!
31:28Now watch loose!
31:31Whoo!
31:36Oh!
31:37Oh!
31:46Oh!
31:47Give me that, you low-cold fool, you've got to have your wits tonight.
32:00Yeah, and a little courage.
32:02You don't need any courage for this job.
32:05Teach the dancers, all we have to do is break in and grab the money and beat it.
32:09The chief said wait till the milking contest, son, and there won't be anybody leaving.
32:13We won't be seen.
32:14Come on.
32:17Now, folks, Jake Abernathy, undefeated champion of Cow Slip Valley, will contest a great
32:46contest against Aunt Martha Hubbard, undefeated champion of Broken Bow.
32:51Come on.
32:52Come on.
32:53Come on.
32:54Come on.
32:55Come on.
32:56Come on.
32:57Come on.
32:58Come on.
32:59Come on.
33:00You're the only one who's ever told me the truth.
33:03They've all made a fool of me.
33:08Oh, please excuse me.
33:10Come on.
33:11Come on.
33:12Come on.
33:13Come on.
33:14Come on.
33:15Come on.
33:16Come on.
33:17Come on.
33:18Come on.
33:19Come on.
33:20Left 10th to 22.
33:21Turn right.
33:22Now, keep the Martins here until I get back.
33:25Now, keep the Martins here until I get back.
33:37John.
33:40I... I must see you alone.
33:42Well, I'm sorry, Bess. I can't see you right now.
33:47Please excuse me. I'll be back later.
33:55I'll be back.
34:25I'll be back.
34:55I'll be back.
34:57I'll be back.
34:59I'll be back.
35:01Come on.
35:03Come on.
35:05Come on.
35:07Come on.
35:11Ah.
35:21Not going to miss the contest, are you boys?
35:38Well, you ain't missing the contest, are you boys?
35:41Will you please take me home, Mr. Dixon?
35:59Oh, certainly.
36:04I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon.
36:12I don't even know what to do.
36:15I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon.
36:20I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon.
36:23Good night, Mr. Dixon.
36:26I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon.
36:30Good night, Mr. Dixon.
36:33Money's in the sheriff's office, Pete.
36:36Those two will soon lead me to the third party.
36:39And then I'll wring the truth out of them about old Dan.
37:03The champion!
37:08Oh, you won by a foul, but by cracky, I'll beat you next year.
37:13All right, Jake Abernathy.
37:15I'll be waiting for you.
37:17Oh, I don't care.
37:33All right, Aunt Martha, that'll be just fine.
37:37Aunt Martha, if you'll please excuse us.
37:40I want to speak to Mr. Higgins, alone.
37:49I hardly know how to begin.
37:52But when I say I know who you really are and what you are,
37:56perhaps you'll understand.
37:59Why did you wait months to wear that ring, Mr. Road Agent?
38:04And tonight, with my own eyes, I saw you rob the Wells Fargo.
38:09Followed me?
38:10I followed you.
38:12And I found out that you're not only a bandit and a robber,
38:15but a murderer as well.
38:17You killed my father.
38:19You can't deny it.
38:20The whole town knows it.
38:22I'm not trying to deny it, but won't you let me explain?
38:25Explain.
38:27I wouldn't believe anything you said.
38:29You've lived a lie ever since you've been here.
38:32You were right when you said I'd hate you.
38:35There aren't words vile enough to express my contempt for you.
38:39Now get out of here.
38:42I never want to see you again.
38:45I don't it.
38:46I d how you get out.
38:48I know.
38:53Martin boys just went into Joe Dixon's place. They went in the back way picture. I tell
39:16you Joe Higgins was the fellas got that money away from us three months ago. He had a beard
39:21and other clothes that I nude him to the way he rode. Well anyhow I cooked his goose
39:26last night. He's out of a job by now. You know I don't see any reason why I
39:32shouldn't step in and marry the boss of the lazy end. She's sure as well looking
39:36gal and she's got about a thousand head of slick looking horses in that top
39:41pasture. Oh that is news. Making a quick turnover we ought to get about eight or
39:48ten bucks a head. And with no stock on the ranch the boss of the lazy M probably
39:54will be glad to marry a well to do gent like myself. I'll ride over and get
39:59broke on him and his gang can help us with the drive. Yeah that's a good idea.
40:03Dixon's leaving town. I reckon I'll just follow him.
40:33Dixon's leaving town.
40:46Dixon's leaving town.
40:50Dixon's leaving town.
40:51Dixon, Dixon has enorme Death.
40:56Dixon, Dixon.
40:58Dixon, Dixon, Dixon.
41:01There's a thousand head of horses in the south pasture of the Lazy M.
41:32All we gotta do is to shoo them off down to Gomez.
41:35He'll give us eight or ten bucks a head without a squawk.
41:38When do we start?
41:39Dawn, tomorrow.
41:41No one will even see us.
42:01How?
42:04Black Eagle, I'm in great trouble.
42:07Men come tomorrow morning at sunrise to steal all my horses.
42:11Men, no steal horse.
42:14Me, my people, your friends.
42:17We fight.
42:19Good.
42:20Here comes Brokaw now.
42:44Take it easy, and when you get them running, push them through.
43:01Here they come.
43:02Boy, what a surprise they're gonna get.
43:21Starting the first band out of the corral.
43:23Here we go.
43:53I'll be right back.
44:02Go it home.
44:06Come on.
47:11He threw down on me and made me drop the money bag.
47:15Dixon saw him through the wind and killed him.
47:18Dixon?
47:18Take care of him, Sheriff.
47:22I'm heading for a town.
47:24I'm heading for a walk.
47:25I'm heading for a walk.
47:31I'm heading for a walk.
47:38I'm heading for a walk.
47:39I'm heading for a walk.
47:45I've got to tell you, Higgins and his Indian renegades rustled your horses.
47:47Miss Matthews, I've got to tell you, Higgins and his Indian renegades wrestled your horses.
48:00Me and my friends tried to stop them, but there were too many of them.
48:02Now, use your phone.
48:03Why, certainly.
48:17There's no answer at the sheriff's office.
48:47Drop that gun, Dixon.
48:55I arrest you for the murder of Dan Matthews.
48:59Blackie Martin just confessed.
49:07Please.
49:47John's been gone nearly two months now.
50:08I wonder if he'll ever come back.
50:11Why don't you ask him?
50:13There's one fellow that might be able to tell you where to find him, and that's Chief Blackie.
50:17Squibbs, your new foreman, can take you to him.
50:25His place over there.
50:28Thanks.
50:29I won't be long.
50:30There.
50:30I won't be long.
50:38I won't be long.
50:44There.
50:46She's been in there two hours already.
51:03Maybe she's going to live there.
51:07Yeah, women are sure queer critters.
51:11Me hungry.
51:13Me too.
51:15Say, what's the sense in a fella starving himself to death for some low-code female?
51:21Let's get the heck out of here.
