00:00The End
01:59How are you getting along with that?
02:01Pretty good.
02:02Buckskin showed me how to fix the ice.
02:08I wonder how Mother and Dad are doing up ahead.
02:10They must be pretty tired.
02:12It's been a long trip, Jimmy.
02:13I'm tired, too.
02:15I'll be glad when we get where we're going.
02:17Wish we'd never left home.
02:19Cheer up, Jimmy.
02:20Don't always be complaining.
02:21Then, when we get settled in our new homestead, you'll be glad we left old Kansas.
02:26Jack, you told me I'd get to shoot Indians, and I ain't even seen any yet.
02:30That's what's wrong with you, Jimmy.
02:32Always looking for trouble.
02:33If you don't change your way, you want them up to anything.
02:36Oh, you're always telling me that.
02:38That's the use of coming out here if we can't run into some Indians so I can use this gun.
02:42There's a rumor about five miles down.
02:59I'll ride ahead and see if we can cross it before dark, Mr. Winters.
03:12I guess that's the outfit, all right.
03:36They don't look black to me they'd be carrying that payroll money.
03:38But Larson tipped me off if the money'd be shipped secretly with the settler's outfit for protection.
03:43So if it's there, we'll get it.
04:08Round them cattle!
04:24Round them cattle!
04:27Round them cattle up!
04:57We got the wrong outfit, boss. That money ain't here.
05:17Well, we'll take whatever else we can find.
05:21Stay away or I'll shoot.
05:24You're a spooky little rascal.
05:26A real fighter.
05:29Eh, kid?
05:30Well, I like fighters.
05:35I'm gonna take him with us.
05:56Well, that's the cattle we got for more than pay for the trouble.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Yeah.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Yeah.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Yeah.
06:21That's so.
06:25But I think it's just me.
09:03You never learn of him?
09:05Nope.
09:06He seemed to disappear from the earth.
09:09Jack and me have been trying to locate him ever since.
09:12You call him Jack?
09:13Sure, that's his name.
09:15Oh, we all call him Cherokee.
09:17But the people think he's part Indian.
09:20So I've heard.
09:21And he never meet up with his gang?
09:23No, but he'll keep on looking just the same.
09:26I will hate to be in their shoes when he find them.
09:29Come on, Rusty.
09:31Come on, Rusty.
09:39What is that you make, my friend?
09:41Oh, I've been doing this since I was a kid.
09:43Yeah, I've been doing this ever since I was a kid.
09:50Get where I learned it.
09:52I'm just a habit when I'm nervous, I guess.
09:54You know, when Dad first talked you was wagon boss for this trip,
09:57I nearly fainted when I saw you whittling a doll.
10:00There you were, the Kansas kid carving a doll.
10:03Well, what's that?
10:07Oh, that's a locket my mother gave me.
10:09Oh.
10:11I never knew my mother.
10:14She died when I was just a youngster.
10:16Killed by the Indians.
10:20And I've sort of knocked around ever since.
10:22We're ready to roll whenever you are.
10:24Sooner the better, Mr. Masters.
10:26I'll be glad when we get through that sending country.
10:28Oh.
10:29Well, uh, I'll get things started.
10:33I never saw a man look so worried just at the mention of Indians.
10:46Well, his mother was killed by them.
10:47He told me so.
10:49Oh, I see.
10:52Lex, you knew my mother.
10:54Sure I did.
10:55Why?
10:56Was she, uh, pretty as her?
10:59Well, let me see, kid.
11:02The other time I ever seen your mother was when she was...
11:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
11:07Say, you ain't getting too interested, are you?
11:09You know we got a job to do and Buff's counting on you.
11:13Don't you worry about that.
11:18Oh, Mr. Masters.
11:19Yeah?
11:22Lex and I are going to ride ahead to the south ridge and check the trail.
11:25Right, kid.
11:25We'll pass along behind you.
11:45I'm heading them for Rainbow Canyon, but they'll camp at the Willows tonight.
11:48Now we'll have a chance to give Buff the tip.
11:50That ought to work.
11:51Okay.
11:51Time adds little changes to rocks, eh, Rawhide?
12:03It's been a good many years since we was here.
12:07But this country ought to make good pickings, the way the kid works.
12:10Funny thing, the way that kid took to our game, ain't it?
12:13A born leader, good with a gun, and tough as a boot.
12:19I pity you if he ever learns the truth.
12:22I told you never to breathe, that.
12:25He'll always think it was Indians.
12:29I'll kill the man that tells him different.
12:31Well, only Lex and me knows, so don't worry.
12:35Charles Redding, come on.
12:36I'll kill her.
13:02That's right.
13:02I'm going to kill you.
13:03Buffett worked easy.
13:19Masters hired me without any question.
13:20I'm wagon boss with them.
13:22Where are they headed?
13:23Wagon Springs.
13:24Got a nice load of provisions and some cattle.
13:27What's it going to be worth?
13:29With beef at four cents a pound, should clear about 2,000.
13:32When do we take them?
13:34I've steered them off the main trail.
13:36They're headed for Rainbow Canyon.
13:39Get us about noontime.
13:41We'll be there.
13:54Hey, what's on your mind?
13:56I wish we'd never come back here.
13:58Why?
13:58Well, it was somewhere near here you found me, wasn't it, Buff?
14:03That's right.
14:05I never knew my folks, but somehow I feel they're near me.
14:12You better get some grub.
14:14Thanks.
14:18I love my tamale, that's my sweetheart name.
14:23She loves the chilies, to me it's just the same.
14:27And when we get married, we'll buy a rancherito.
14:31To raise friolis, tamales, and little chilies too.
14:35Well, I love the chilies, they never give me sorrow.
14:49Cause the little chilies of today is the big pepper tomorrow.
14:53Hey, who's that?
15:13That fella seemed scared when he saw us.
15:26Yeah, I'll find out why.
15:28You wait here.
15:33Hey there!
15:33Hey there!
15:33Hey there!
15:35Hey there!
15:37Hey there!
15:39Hey there!
15:40Hey there!
15:41Hey there!
15:42Gee ma'am, I'm sorry.
15:58I thought you were a man.
15:59And when I called to you, you didn't stop.
16:01And you were acting so strange, I...
16:02Well, you sure scared me.
16:03I'm very sorry.
16:04But say, who are you?
16:06Well, they call me Cherokee.
16:08Oh, my dad and I have heard lots about you.
16:11But somehow, our trail's never crossed.
16:13You're riding kind of far out, aren't you, miss?
16:15Are you alone?
16:16No, my outfit's back in the willows.
16:18We plan to camp there tonight.
16:19Well, what's an outfit doing way up here?
16:21We're going to Wagon Springs.
16:24Wagon Springs?
16:27Who's leading your outfit?
16:28My dad, Jeff Masters, and the Kansas Kid.
16:31Why?
16:32Well, you're way off the main trail.
16:35If you're sure of that, I wish you'd tell Dad.
16:37Well, I'd be glad to.
16:47Mr. Masters, you're heading for Rainbow Canyon.
16:50It's blind.
16:51Where's your wagon boss?
16:53Why, he rode on ahead, but he'll be back soon.
16:56Dad, Cherokee said he'd be glad to head us to Wagon Springs.
16:59Well, uh, what'll he charge us for your time?
17:02Oh, there'll be no charge, Mr. Masters.
17:04I'm going that way myself, and I'll be very glad for the company.
17:07You know, I can't figure how we missed a trail.
17:10Well, evidently, your wagon boss doesn't know much about this country.
17:13But we'll get you back on the main trail easy.
17:15I'm giving the orders here.
17:21What seems to be the trouble?
17:23Oh, Cherokee, this is, uh, the Kansas Kid, our wagon boss.
17:29Well, there's no hard feelings, Kansas.
17:31I just figured you were off your bearings, that's all.
17:33What's wrong with the way we're headed?
17:35Well, Rainbow is impassable.
17:37And besides, it's Apache country.
17:39You ought to know about Indians, Cherokee.
17:41You're one, ain't you?
17:45My word, Mr. Masters, you're heading wrong.
17:49I'm inclined to believe you, Cherokee, and we'll go your way.
17:52Hold on, Masters.
17:53You hired me to run this outfit, didn't you?
17:56We want no interference from that half-breed.
17:58How do you know he's not figuring a double-cross,
18:00leading us into an Indian trap?
18:03Relax, please.
18:15I'm sorry for starting trouble.
18:19It wasn't your fault.
18:20I'd have done the same thing.
18:29Masters, I'm quitting this outfit.
18:30Go ahead and string with that galoot and see where it gets you.
18:33Yeah.
18:34And we'll drift along after supper.
18:36All right, boys.
18:38If that's the way you want it.
18:39I hope our trails cross again, Cherokee.
18:47You know, Cherokee, this is the first chance I've had to thank you
19:09since we got straightened out on the trail.
19:11No thanks, necessary, ma'am.
19:13You're an odd man, Cherokee.
19:16Odd?
19:16Your life.
19:18The way you're always willing to help people
19:19who can't even afford to pay you.
19:21And you always travel the trails alone.
19:23They say you won't stay working long for one outfit.
19:26That's right.
19:28I like to drift around and see different places
19:30and different people.
19:33Ever think of settling down?
19:36Someday, maybe.
19:37To ranching.
19:38In fact, I've got the spot all picked out.
19:41Tell me about it.
19:43Well, it's the kind of place Mother always wanted.
19:46Acres and acres of trees and flowers.
19:50And a lake, too.
19:52And the sky seemed to always be smiling down on it.
19:56Mom always dreamed of a place like that
19:58and called it her heaven.
19:59She never saw it, though.
20:04Lost her life on this very trail.
20:07Indians?
20:07No.
20:09White renegades.
20:11That's the reason I stick to the trails.
20:14Because someday I'll find them.
20:16What are you thinking, Buck?
20:35I hope what I'm thinking is wrong for Cherokee's sake.
20:39Let's get ridin', kid.
20:54Let's get ridin', kid.
20:55Let's get ridin' of...
21:13I've got a little unfinished business.
21:27Well, I was waiting for that.
21:43Dad is going to establish a freight line between Wagon Springs and Independence.
21:52Well, he should do all right.
21:53And if I can ever help, you just call on me.
21:56Thanks.
21:57Well, I guess I'll turn in.
22:01Good night, Cherokee.
22:02Good night, Mary.
22:13What's wrong, Rusty?
22:31What's the matter?
22:41Hold it, Rusty.
22:43Hold it, son.
22:54Them critters ain't worth going after.
22:57Yeah, I guess you're right.
22:59And you promised to lead us to Wagon Springs.
23:07Well, that's why I called the raid off, Buff.
23:10I'll tell you, that Cherokee is a whole lot smart.
23:12And powerful with a gun.
23:14Ask Lex, he can tell you.
23:20For years, I heard plenty about him.
23:22He makes it tough on men in our business.
23:24I'd hoped he wasn't in these parts.
23:27He won't be for long.
23:29I'd have dropped him in his tracks last night, but, well, we was outnumbered.
23:33We didn't come all the way out here for nothing.
23:35We've got to make a haul.
23:37We will, and on Wagon Springs.
23:38But my first job is to take care of that Cherokee.
23:44We'll be.
23:56Oh, Cherokee.
24:17Good morning, Mr. Masters.
24:20I was just wondering if you'd be interested in tying in with me as trail boss.
24:24What do you say?
24:24Well, I don't care much about tying in too tight on any one job, Mr. Masters.
24:32You see, I have matters of my own that keep me traveling.
24:35Well, just as you say, I was counting on you, Sorter.
24:38But we will guide your outfit until you get things running.
24:41That's fine, because I got a special shipment that'll make history in the next day or so.
24:46And I'll meet you. Thanks.
24:48All right.
24:51Buxkin, I think I'll make that little visit.
24:53Well, that's a good idea.
24:56And I'm taking Lopez along.
24:58Thank you very much.
25:00Well, I'll just drift over to the Oasis and wet my whistle.
25:05Might see some new faces and learn something.
25:11Rusty!
25:11Come here, boy.
25:15Hey!
25:31Firebrand!
25:32Come here, boy!
25:32Hey!
25:32Where are we going, please?
25:54Where are we going, please?
25:57We'll be, all right.
25:57列!
25:58Let's go Reese!
25:59There's a little—
25:59Whoa!
25:59Let's go!
26:00Go.
26:01Go.
26:01Go!
26:02Go!
26:02Go.
26:03Go.
26:04Go.
26:04Go.
26:05Go.
26:05Go.
26:06Go.
26:06Go.
26:06Go.
26:07Go.
26:08Go!
26:14Go.
26:19Go.
26:24Go.
26:54I bring you good news.
26:57White's Fathers Beyond Big River promised me peace treaty will be lived up to.
27:02You will get your lands back under one condition.
27:05No fighting.
27:18Say, there's something going on in Wagon Springs.
27:21Some galoots discovered gold and made a deal with Jeff Masters for him to haul out their first big load.
27:25Say, this might be the luckiest strike we've ever made.
27:28There you men, come on with me.
27:30What are you going to do?
27:31Well, if it's all right with you, Buff, I'm going to get the load on this deal.
27:34And make sure that Cherokee don't cut down on our plans again.
27:38Go ahead.
27:38It won't look good for all of us to ride in there.
28:06Broheide, you go with me.
28:09The rest of you stay here until we get back.
28:10Find out when Masters is going to roll out of here with that shipment.
28:30Try and get yourself a job at the outset.
28:32I'm going to take a look around for Cherokee.
28:45The discovery of gold, Buckskin, will make history in Wagon Springs overnight.
28:50If I can carry that shipment through safely for the Kramer boys, my freight line will be made.
28:54Looks mighty good for you, Masters.
28:59Who'd ever thought that there was gold out here?
29:02How much ore are you figuring to haul?
29:04Oh, I can take $10,000 worth on this trip.
29:07It's plenty rich.
29:09Say, where's Cherokee?
29:10Well, way on a little business.
29:12Say, when are you expecting to start with this ore?
29:15In the morning?
29:16You'll be back before then.
29:17Howdy, mister.
29:21I hear you was looking for some hands on your freighter.
29:23Well, I can use a man.
29:25Better show up in the morning.
29:26Thanks.
29:26I'll be here.
29:29News of this discovery travels like wildfire.
29:32I better be getting things ready.
29:34Will you tell Cherokee I want to see him?
29:36Sure thing.
29:37Sure thing.
29:38I've caught her on with them.
29:48I know all their plans.
29:50They roll out in the morning.
29:52Good.
29:54This Cherokee ain't in town.
29:57I'll go back and get buff set.
29:59You stick here and keep your eyes open.
30:08Hey!
30:24Senor, these Indians are not such bad people.
30:27They're accused of a lot of things they don't do, Lopez.
30:31And some of the things they do, they're driven to by renegade white men.
30:35Men who try to rob them of their lands.
30:38That tribe raised me, and I know them pretty well.
30:42Do we go back to town now?
30:43No, Lopez.
30:45The chief told me of a gang of white men in back of the hills.
30:47I'm going to have a look.
30:49You go back.
30:50Si, senor.
30:50Hey!
31:09Foxkin!
31:10Wait!
31:13What are you doing here?
31:14Where do you go?
31:15I got some important business up here.
31:17Where's Cherokee?
31:18I don't know.
31:20Well, hunt him up and have him follow my trail up here.
31:22This is going to lead to something.
31:24Si, senor.
31:25Fronto.
31:25There you go.
31:26That's going to be...
31:26...
31:27...
31:31Let's go.
32:01Let's go.
32:03Hold this.
32:11That's Jackie.
32:13I wonder what he's doing up here.
32:15Well, whatever it is, it ain't no good.
32:17We better stay out of sight and see what he's up to.
32:31Hey, he's coming in now.
32:40He mustn't see me.
32:51Howdy, mister.
32:52Howdy.
32:53I understand there's a cattle off that's starting up here.
32:56I could tie in if you need men.
33:01Cattle your business?
33:02Full scale, Cherokee.
33:07I'll answer for you, because I'm on to your game.
33:11You and your pals cut in on us with a master's outfit.
33:13Figured a nice haul, but on account of a girl, you wouldn't go through with it.
33:18And I got something to settle with you.
33:20There's a gold shipment you won't cut in on, because we're getting that.
33:31I don't know what happened.
34:26With no horse, he can't get away.
34:56With no horse, he can't get away.
35:26With no horse, he can't get away.
35:56With no horse, he can't get away.
36:26With no horse, he can't get away.
36:56Put him down.
37:11Well, I'm glad to see you here.
37:15What's up?
37:23What's up?
37:27Who is he?
37:28That's Cherokee's pal.
37:31And it gives me an idea.
37:32Now I know how I can get that Cherokee back here.
37:37By just holding him.
37:39Get your horses.
37:55Mr. Masters, have you got that shipment loaded and ready to go?
38:15Why, son? What's wrong?
38:16The Kansas kid and his gang are planning to take it.
38:20And you can't tell when they're going to try.
38:22So you better load now and make a run for it.
38:25Thanks, Cherokee. I'll leave at once.
38:27I'll get Buxkin and Lopez and follow you.
38:30All right, I'll pull out just as soon as our little deal works.
38:39Cherokee, I wanted to go, but Dad wouldn't hear of it.
38:42Promise you'll see them through?
38:43I'll do my best.
38:49Well, I guess I'll get the boys and be on my way.
38:54I'll get it.
38:55I'll get it.
38:59Buxkin wants you to follow him out on the trail.
39:02I think he's after the kid.
39:08Lopez, here's what I want you to do.
39:10Cherokee's left.
39:23They started down the trail with that gold shipment.
39:25We'll just buff and add them off.
39:33And don't lose any time.
39:35See, amigo.
39:38Firebrand, we have work to do.
39:41Buff, I tell you, you're making a mistake.
39:44The kid is handling this all wrong.
39:46What's the matter with you?
39:47You're getting yellow.
39:49No, not yellow.
39:50But we're fooling with dynamite.
39:52This Cherokee won't be taken so easy.
39:54He's smart, I tell you.
39:55He'll find some way to get enough men together to cook us.
39:59Since when did you start trying to run this outfit, Lex?
40:01I ain't trying to run it.
40:03But I'm for cleaning up on that stuff at Wagon Springs and getting out of here.
40:06Some of the other fellas feel the same way.
40:09The kid will handle it his way.
40:10Ah!
40:11The kid.
40:12That's all I've heard out of you for years, ever since we picked him up.
40:15And if he ever knew it was you, he killed his people.
40:18I warned you, Lex.
40:34They're making a run with that shipment.
40:36If we hustle, we can catch them across the plains.
40:38Good work, kid.
40:45I just remembered something.
41:05How about that fellow buckskin?
41:07That's right.
41:08We can't leave him there.
41:10I'll go back.
41:11No, let me do it.
41:12It'll be a pleasure.
41:13Right on.
41:14I'll be right with you.
41:15All right.
41:16All right.
41:43You're lucky, Lex.
41:55His bullet just creased you.
41:57Thanks.
41:58Well, thanks for helping me.
42:00I'll be right with you.
42:02I'll be right with you.
42:30Let's step out in the open, kid, and get it over with.
42:50You count five, and come on.
42:53One.
42:56Two.
42:58Three.
43:01Four.
43:03Hold it!
43:04Killed the key.
43:06The kid's your brother.
43:08Understand?
43:09Your brother!
43:10It's a trick, buckskin.
43:17No, it ain't, kid.
43:18I'll prove it.
43:19Come here.
43:20Lex!
43:20How can you prove it?
43:45In the years we've been together, kid, I've never lied to you.
43:50Cherokee is your brother.
43:53Remember these?
43:54I showed you how to carve them.
43:56Yeah.
44:04I remember.
44:07Buckskin.
44:10Yes, Jimmy.
44:12I've hunted for you for a long time.
44:16And maybe now you're sorry.
44:18No.
44:20I'm glad.

45:05Well, where is he?
45:09That's Buff.
45:09They've got masters.
