01:29Hey, Hank.
01:47Oh, hello, Sheriff.
01:49It's always made me a little bit nervous.
01:51I've been jumpy all night.
01:53The time's stage's over.
01:55Oh, long about midnight, but the wrecking of the storm will hold it up some.
01:58And the middle fourth place will watch out.
02:01They'll have to wait here until storm's over.
02:03Got a room?
02:05Been riding all night and want to get a little sleep before stage gets in.
02:09Expecting trouble?
02:10I'm always expecting trouble.
02:12I think there's a place around here where I can watch no one's on.
02:17I got it.
02:19My room.
02:21You see that, Doc O?
02:22Yeah.
02:23Well, you all you got to do is pull them around just to one side, and you can see you put them in every corner of this room.
02:28Cracky say, that's just made the order.
02:31Call me when the stage is in.
02:33Will you, Hank?
02:33I'll ring the night bell.
02:35There's two fens up there.
02:36Take which one you want.
02:37Good night, Hank.
02:38Good night.
02:43What a night.
03:08Good night.
03:38Oh, my God.
04:08I want a room with a stove in it.
04:10I'm chilling now.
04:11And I've got to steep me a cup of hot tea.
04:14Well, there's a coal oil stove in every room.
04:17Here's your tea.
04:38Just sign Mr. and Mrs. right there.
04:45I suppose you folks would like the bridal chamber?
04:53How much?
05:05Well, we always get two dollars for the bridal chamber.
05:08You see, it's the best in the house.
05:12And, uh, please be as quiet as you can.
05:17The man next to you gets up at five.
05:21Hello, Hank.
05:37I'm wearing the bottom of the lake.
05:41Lock that up, will you, Hank?
05:45Four thousand in there.
05:48Hello.
05:49The lost load mine.
05:50Well, it could be safe here.
05:51It has to take away the safe to get it.
06:15Well, speak up, young man.
06:16What is it?
06:17Well, speak up, young man.
06:19What is it?
06:20The cast finds it.
06:21The cast?
06:22The cast?
06:23The, my, my, my.
06:42Well, speak up, young man.
06:44What is it?
06:46The cast finds it.
06:48You can't?
06:49No.
06:50Well, what ever have you lost?
06:53I ain't lost nothing.
06:56Well, what in the world is it that you... that you can't find?
07:02Well, it's...
07:03It's...

07:27It's...
07:28Well, Hank...
07:29I reckon I had my trip for nothing.
07:31You see, I was picked off a polka dot bandage hereabout.
07:35Well, you don't expect him out in a storm like this for you.
07:38You can expect him anywhere there's money.
07:43You know, maybe...
08:43Jerry?
08:51Didn't you hear that?
08:52No, no.
08:53What is it?
08:53I don't know.
09:10My Jiminy is for Pokéduc.
09:13I think your tip was right, Sheriff, but how'd they get the combination?
09:39I don't know.
09:43What's that?
09:46Well, they're the state's combination numbers.
09:49You watched it through the window when you opened it.
10:07No use trying to trail him tonight.
10:09No, by morning he'd be miles away.
10:12Just the same, I'm going to run him down if it takes me ten years.
10:17Ten years.
10:24No, I'm going to go to the window.
10:34I'm going to go to the window.
11:09Don't move.
11:33Put up your gun.
11:36Everything's all right, old timer.
11:43You're just in time for beans.
11:45Sit down.
11:49Think you're pretty slick, don't you?
11:51No, just careful.
11:53Well, you might have been the polka dot bandit.
11:55Or some other notorious outlaw.
11:57Yeah?
11:58Well, how do you know I ain't?
12:00Just by your looks.
12:02Come on, let's eat.
12:06The beans sure smell good.
12:09Well, help yourself.
12:13Pretty slick on the draw, too, ain't you, son?
12:28No, old timer.
12:29Just force a habit.
12:30Well, don't get excited.
12:32See, I carry this for snakes.
12:34Oh, I ain't insinuating that you're a snake.
12:37But here's to me right now is a good time to open it.
12:41You have a drink?
12:42Well, in this particular case, yes.
12:45You mind if I roll up here for the night?
12:48No, old timer.
12:49I'd be right glad to know you better.
12:52Yeah?
12:53Well, I ain't so sure.
12:56Anyway, here's the mud in your eyes.
12:59And how.
13:15See any sign of Mason and the gang?
13:28Saw a cloud of dust down by Cotton Creek.
13:30Maybe the outlaws.
13:31Oh, are you think so?
13:33How could they know when Mason was coming through?
13:36Well, how did they know before?
13:38I tell you there's a skunk in this town and we oughta run him down.
13:41We oughta be hearing from Sacramento.
13:45That letter was sent three weeks ago.
13:47All right.
13:48The government don't care nothing about us.
13:50We got to help ourselves.
13:52You can't fight outlaws without ammunition.
13:55And we can get it.
14:11They're just entered in the pass.
14:18You boys know what to do.
14:20Remember, no harm has come to the girls.
14:23No sign of outlaws yet, Betty.
14:42But I still insist you shouldn't have come.
14:45Now, don't scroll, Dad.
14:47It's been a wonderful trip.
14:53That.
14:54Now.
14:55We're all of you okay?
14:56Now, let's understand.
14:58Now, let's do the war Tenemos.
14:59Let's do it.
15:00Now, let's do it.
15:01So, let's do this.
15:02You can do it.
15:03You can do it.
15:04Now.
15:05Do it.
15:06You can do it.
15:07The event.
15:08You can do it.
15:09Literally.
15:10You can do it.
15:12Oh, you can.
15:13There, you can?
15:14You can do it.
15:16I can.
15:17I can.
15:18You can do it.
15:19No one.
15:20No one.
16:21I have plenty of company.
16:51Outlaw, please help us.
17:13Dad!
17:20Dad!
17:33Dad!
17:35Dad!
17:36Dad!
17:37Dad!
17:38Dad!
17:39Dad!
17:41Dad!
17:42Dad!
17:43Dad!
17:44Dad!
17:45Dad!
17:46Dad!
17:47Dad!
17:48Dad!
17:49Dad!

17:52Dad!
17:53Dad!
17:54Dad!
17:55Dad!
17:56Dad!
18:57Well, we got both of them.
19:01We'd better make sure.
19:27No sign of them.
19:48I reckon they were on the bottom.
19:59Well, they've never got you, old-timer.
20:01Yeah.
20:02With the feel of my head, they did get me.
20:05What happened?
20:07Well, they shot you off your horse and you fell over the cliff.
20:11Into the water, eh?
20:12You pulled me out.
20:15Son, I reckon I owe you my life.
20:18I ain't forgetting that.
20:19Don't worry about that, Dad.
20:21We've got to get out of here.
20:23Think you can make it?
20:24Well, I'll make it or bust a cinch.
20:27Come on.
20:28Come on.
20:42Everything worked out just as you planned.
20:44Only we bumped into a couple of strangers.
20:46We had to run and fight.
20:48They got janked, but they're on the bottom of the river.
20:50What about the girl?
20:51Are you sure she didn't recognize you?
20:53Nah, we didn't get close enough for that.
20:56She's probably in town by now.
20:58Come on.
21:15Hello, boys.
21:16Any words from the pack train?
21:17Here comes Betty now.
21:19She ought to kill her.
21:20Yeah.
21:36Where's your father?
21:38Where's Tom?
21:39Dad and Tom are dead.
21:41All right.
21:42They killed them.
21:43They killed them.
21:44Who killed them?
21:45There, there.
21:46Tell us all about it, Miss Betty.
21:47Well, we were just coming through the pass, and...
22:03Then these men rode after the outlaws.
22:06I ran to Dad and found him...
22:08Fair, fair, Miss Betty.
22:11I am...
22:12Miss Betty, you must let me take care of you.
22:26I want you to consider my ranch your home until we can make more definite plans for your future.
22:31I want you to know that I'll do everything possible to help you.
22:35And you'll send someone for him?
22:36I'm going myself.
22:38Right away.
22:41Oh, Mrs. Williams.
22:42I want you to take care of Betty until I return.
22:45Oh, yeah, we get you back.
22:56Yeah.
22:56Oh, yeah.
22:57Oh, yeah.
22:59Oh, yeah.
23:05Oh, my God.
23:12Oh, yeah.
23:12In town, I reckon.
23:21Dead?
23:23Your daughter just told her.
23:25We were just going to bring him into town.
23:28Yeah?
23:29Well, you can give us a hand, then.
23:38I have a drill drill.
23:42I love you.
23:51Boy!
23:52Some of you take care of me.
23:54What's going on?
23:55What's going on?
24:03What's going on?
24:06Hey, boy!
24:08Hey, boy!
24:10Come on.
24:11Don't move. Either one of you.
24:16Now talk and talk fast.
24:18Where's the rest of your gang in the provision?
24:20Why was it necessary to kill?
24:22You could have taken the packs without committing murder.
24:24Men, we found these two going through Mason's pockets.
24:28Now what's to be done?
24:30Now that's gone.
24:32I keep him covered.
24:34Men, we didn't kill Mason.
24:36If you'll call his daughter, she'll prove it.
24:38His daughter's in no condition to be dragged out here and questioned.
24:40We're not trying to question anyone,
24:42but under the circumstances, I think Miss Mason will be glad to explain.
24:45Here she comes now.
24:48Miss Mason, these men have accused us of killing your father.
24:52Oh, no, Mr. Melrose.
24:53These are the men that drove the unlaws away and saved my life.
24:57Well, in that case, we certainly owe you gentlemen an apology.
25:01You, of course, don't realize, but this town is in a most desperate state.
25:05We are without food and ammunition,
25:08terrorized by a band of murdering outlaws.
25:10Two attempts have been made now to bring in supplies,
25:13only to have our men killed and the food taken.
25:16If we don't get provisions here before snow sets in, we're trapped.
25:20We're trapped now.
25:21We can only last a few days longer.
25:24Let's all get out.
25:25A teller is the only solution.
25:27I think you're right.
25:28How can we get out when our money is all gone for food that we never got?
25:33Men, I have a little money, not much, but I'll do this.
25:36In order that we can get out, I'll give you $100 each for your homestead.
25:40I'm taking a long chance of ever getting my money back, but I'll risk it.
25:44Oh, it's my square, Mr. Melrose.
25:46Come on, let's take it out.
25:47Let's take it out.
25:49Don't you think before you sell your homes for a few dollars
25:53that you should take at least one more chance at getting the provisions through?
25:57You know, our men have families.
25:59There's been enough killing.
26:03Why not let us take it quick?
26:05If you can get us provisions, I'll pay you well.
26:08Forget that.
26:09You give us an order and we'll have the provisions back here inside of four days.
26:13Good.
26:13Then come to my ranch this afternoon and I'll give you an order for $1,000 supplies.
26:17That's it!
26:18Get out!
26:21You see that pal, Melrose?
26:35You're going to be mighty interested in him right soon.
26:37Who is it?
26:39I'm keeping that for a surprise.
26:41Huh?
26:43I'm keeping a surprise for you, too.
26:45Come on.
26:50Come on.
26:51Show Miss Mason the spare room.
27:15Yes, senor.
27:15Come on.
27:45I thought you said those two men were at the bottom of the river.
27:54I'd swear those were the two we shot down.
27:56Hmm.
27:57If it hadn't been for those two meddlers, the town would be moving out right now.
28:00Well, anyway, you got the girl.
28:03And remember this.
28:04She's private property.
28:05Hands off.
28:06Yeah, you better tell the boys not to be talking around here.
28:09She might find out who you really are.
28:11Kent made another inspection of Homestead Valley.
28:14I swear it'll be the richest gold strike ever discovered.
28:17Runs right through the middle of all the ranches.
28:20We'll soon be rid of those hombres.
28:21The town will move out, and we'll own the gold field.
28:24Take her to the hideout.
28:37We'll keep her in there until the town is deserted.
28:40You don't dare.
28:41I'm going over to Melgrove's and get that order.
29:08Let's do it.
29:12I'm going over to Melgrove.
29:12Good night.
29:13Good night.
29:14Good night.
29:14Good night.
29:15Good night.
29:16Good night.
29:16Good night.
29:17Good night.
30:47I don't know.
30:50Now is your chance.
30:51Remember, no shooting.
31:17You boys tell me where Melgrove is?
31:22Why, yeah.
31:23I think you'll find him right...
31:25Come on, get in.
31:35Come on, get in.
34:22We'll find out.
34:23It's the things we least expect that usually happen.
34:26I thought we was going to Sandy.
34:39We're not going to be that foolish old-timers.
34:43They'd be waiting for us at the pass.
34:45Do you think Mel Grove and Danty are with the outlaws?
34:47There's no doubt about it.
34:48Well, what shall be done?
34:49Well, it all depends on what happens between now and tomorrow morning.
34:55What happened to Miss Mason?
34:57Miss Mason.
34:58Miss Mason.
34:59I'm sorry.
35:01I think we're going to be able to do that.
35:05There's a good one.
35:07I think we're going to see that.
35:09There's no doubt about it.
36:41And the tail goes with a high.
37:05Oh, hey.
37:07Come on, Monroe.
37:07Hi.
37:09We'll leave at dawn.
37:10They'll be coming too early.
37:13Where's the girl?
37:14In the strong room.
37:15She won't eat.
37:17She'll get over that.
37:18I'll have a talk with her tomorrow.
37:19Oh, I'm so glad you found me.
37:31Tell me briefly what's happened.
37:33They caught me over here in their plans and brought me here.
37:36Nugwell is the leader.
37:37He's trying to force the people out so he can get their land.
37:39But why?
37:40Well, you see, under their topsoil is a rich gold deposit.
37:43And it runs right through all the ranches.
37:45Ken is in with them.
37:47Well, they'll be leaving early.
37:49I'll be back shortly after dawn to get you.
37:51Now try and get some sleep.
37:54Good night.
37:54Good night.
38:03How you got up, old diver?
38:05Huh?
38:05What's the matter?
38:06Clean out them ears.
38:07I got a world of news for you.
38:09Where you been?
38:09I followed Melgrove to the hideout.
38:11Hey, that sounds interesting.
38:12Go on.
38:13Well, they're holding Miss Mason present.
38:15And I got to talk to her and she gave me the lowdown on the whole deal.
38:19Now listen to this.
38:20I got to talk to her.
38:50I'll be back by noon.
39:14I want you to guard this place, boys.
39:16Keep your eye on the girl.
39:17If anybody comes, shoot.
39:20Okay, boss.
39:21Keep your eye on it.
39:36Keep your eye on theøs.
39:37Keep your eye on theгов a sudden.
39:39You try and find the wagon. I'll go get the girl.
40:09I'll go get the girl.
40:39I've located the wagon and the horses.
40:47Good. Give me a left here. We're taking this hombre with it.
40:50I'll take him.
40:51All right.
40:52Miss Nathan.
41:07Hurry and get ready. They've gone.
41:09Let's go.
41:39You've been tricked, Melgrove. They're headed for the hideout.
42:03Keep back. I'm going to break this in.
42:19Are you ready?
42:30All the names in my booth.
42:32I'll meet you at the tunnel.
42:33All right.
42:46Hey, son, there's enough grub in there to last a year.

44:27Good work, son, but we got to hurry.
44:53Hey, they're coming back.
44:54Take that lone horse behind those trees and race for town.
45:08Hey, son, here's a box of dynamite.
45:13Might come in handy.
45:15Hey, son.
45:22I don't know.
45:52What's the matter?
46:09They took a girl.
46:10They're dancing.
46:22They took a girl.
46:52They took a girl.
47:22They took a girl.
47:52They took a girl.
48:22They took a girl.
48:24They took a girl.
48:28They took a girl.
48:30They took a girl.
48:34They took a girl.
48:40They took a girl.
48:44They took a girl.
48:46They took a girl.
48:50They took a girl.
48:56They took a girl.
49:00They took a girl.
49:02Oh, my God.
49:32They've blocked us out.
49:35We've got to swim the narrow.
49:37A thousand dollars to the man who gets that girl.
50:02A thousand dollars to the man who gets that girl.
51:00Here they come, old-timer.
51:14Don't miss your mark.
51:16It means the lives of everyone in town.
51:30Now, Grove is the leader.
51:37And under your topsoil is the richest goldfield ever discovered.
51:43Boys, here comes the largest.
51:46Now, men, your troubles are all over.
52:03The outlaws are buried in the past.
52:08Tell them all about it, old-timer.
52:10Well, you see, sirs, we're like this.
52:15I don't know how I can ever repay them.
52:18Well, don't worry about that.
52:20It's all in my line of duty as a government marshal.
52:23But I am leaving for Sacramento today, and...
52:26Well, you don't know it, but you're going with me.
52:29And he's dead.
52:33Must have got a slug from one of his own men.
52:36Sheriff, congratulate me.
52:38May I present the future of Mrs. John Carruthers?
52:41Now, wait a minute, young man.
52:42You can't do this.
52:43You see, I know who you are.
52:45So does Miss Mason.
52:46You mean to say your words, uh...
52:48Now, sit here, young fellow.
52:51I ain't forgetting you saved my life or what you done for this town.
52:55But I got my duty to perform.
52:57Can't you see I got to take you in?
52:59Don't you realize I know you're the polka-dot?
53:02Why, Sheriff, you must have seen me through the knothole.
53:04You're right, boy.
53:06Cracky, I did.
53:06But you saw the wrong man.
53:08The polka-dot bandit left just ahead of me.
53:11He left this row sticking in the floor.
53:13You must have seen me just as I picked that up.
53:16And that row belongs to Danty.
53:19Well, what do you make of this?
53:21Oh, I found those in Danty's room yesterday.
53:25Danty's a polka-dot bandit.
53:27There's a $5,000 reward for him, Sheriff.
53:30I guess it's up to you to collect it.
53:32Well, if Danty's a polka-dot, who in Blazers are you?
53:35Why, he's a United States Marshal.
53:38He's your man from Sacramento.
53:39Oh.
53:51He's your man from Sacramento.
