Western Vows is a romantic tale set against the colorful world of cowboys. Blending comedy, love, and the charm of the western frontier, the story places a wedding vow at the heart of its narrative. With a 1950s classic touch, it portrays how romance can bloom in the most unexpected places—amidst dust, horses, and the sparkle of shining spurs.

00:00:00Yip-yip-yip-yip
00:00:09He's a Hollywood cowboy
00:00:12With a silver saddle
00:00:14But he's afraid of his horses
00:00:17And he don't like cattle
00:00:20Just a Hollywood cowboy
00:00:23Full of western glamour
00:00:26He's a dangerous gent
00:00:29In a Miller crammer
00:00:33The girls propose
00:00:36Take me!
00:00:37A dozen every day
00:00:39No, take me!
00:00:40But he just stands there pointing
00:00:42Saying I went that away
00:00:45He's a standalone hero
00:00:47Moving cool and lazy
00:00:50Just a flick of his wrist
00:00:53And the girls go crazy
00:00:57When bandits appear
00:01:00He's always full of boys
00:01:03He shoots them full of bullets
00:01:06But he just can't stand the noise
00:01:13Like a Hollywood hero
00:01:16He got his gas
00:01:18He hurt
00:01:19And the days they were married
00:01:23I'll never forget
00:01:25That the group was first
00:01:46I think Mr. Castle is expecting me
00:02:04I'm A.J. Furnival, attorney at law
00:02:06Oh, yes
00:02:07You come in, please
00:02:16I'll never forget
00:02:18Wait
00:02:19This is the castle
00:02:20He's away
00:02:22On the terrace
00:02:23This way
00:02:24Frank
00:02:25Frank
00:02:26Frank

00:02:40Frank
00:02:42Frank
00:02:44Frank
00:02:45Frank
00:02:46Oh, sorry.
00:02:55I didn't know you were there, little gal.
00:02:57Some people have been riding in the studio saying I've been getting a little slow on the draw.
00:03:05Stuck.
00:03:06I'm A.J. Furnival.
00:03:09And Mr. Castle, I don't think you're slow on the draw.
00:03:12Well, thanks.
00:03:14You're the lawyer?
00:03:16That's right.
00:03:17And before we get down to business, I would like to tell you how much I've enjoyed you in pictures.
00:03:23I think your movies are really the best entertainment of all.
00:03:26What's more, they've done so much to influence the youth of America.
00:03:30They have?
00:03:31Mm-hmm.
00:03:32As a matter of fact, my nephew, Arnold, who's all of the seven years old,
00:03:36he won't even go to bed without his bedcastle spurs.
00:03:41Must be a little hard in the sheets.
00:03:42Uh, I meant that he, he has them on a chair beside his bed.
00:03:48Oh, sure.
00:03:49Say, do you mind if we sit down?
00:03:51These darn high-heeled cowboy boots can be terrible pains in the arches.
00:03:54Not at all.
00:03:54Here.
00:03:55Well, uh, Mr. Grant said that you had some slight legal problem.
00:04:20Yes, sort of.
00:04:21I, it's, it's kind of hard to talk to a woman.
00:04:25I, I mean, it's, it's hard to talk business to a woman.
00:04:29Well, you, you mustn't think of me as a woman.
00:04:31You must think of me as a lawyer.
00:04:33Well, uh, uh, uh, uh, the fact is...
00:04:42Yes.
00:04:46But, you, you see, uh, uh, this case involves...
00:04:50Yes.
00:04:50Uh, yeah.
00:04:53Where was I?
00:04:54You were thinking of me as a lawyer.
00:04:57Silly.
00:04:58I was?
00:04:59Is this a, uh, uh, criminal case, Mr. Castle?
00:05:05No.
00:05:05Uh, I mean, not yet.
00:05:07You see, I was in Nevada.
00:05:09I, uh, I was over on location in Las Vegas.
00:05:12There was a friend of a little dice game between me and a fellow called Harry Callan.
00:05:17Oh.
00:05:17Uh, how friendly?
00:05:19Sixty thousand dollars friendly.
00:05:22Well, was the, uh, game honest?
00:05:25Mr. Callan didn't seem to think so.
00:05:28Oh.
00:05:29Well, why not?
00:05:30Well, at the time, I didn't have the sixty thousand.
00:05:32And he got a little excited, naturally, so I signed a note and now it's past due, so...
00:05:40Mr. Castle, in Nevada, gambling debts are collectible.
00:05:43Oh, yes.
00:05:43However, in the case of Sunshine Parlor v. McHenry, the California courts ruled that such debts are not collectible in this state.
00:05:49When you signed this note, was it, uh, witnessed?
00:05:53Uh-huh.
00:05:56Uh-huh.
00:05:57You all right?
00:05:58Uh-huh.
00:06:00Well, then, I think we may logically presume that no exchange of benefits occurred.
00:06:05You may or may not feel morally obligated to repay this, Mr....
00:06:09Callan.
00:06:10Callan?
00:06:11Uh-huh.
00:06:12Uh, but I don't believe that this would come within the compass of a court action, even in the state of Nevada.
00:06:17So it is my opinion that you really have nothing to worry about.
00:06:23But you don't know Mr. Callan.
00:06:25He has friends with guns.
00:06:29Oh.
00:06:30Well, what about the police?
00:06:32Like I said, you don't know Mr. Callan.
00:06:35I see.
00:06:37Well, why are you hesitating to make...
00:06:39Well, I don't have the sixty thousand dollars.
00:06:42Well, not that I'm extravagant.
00:06:44As you can see, I'm a man of very simple taste, but in these days, every little thing adds up.
00:06:51So I thought maybe you could have a little conference with Mr. Callan and, uh, reach some sort of settlement.
00:06:57Well, I certainly think it's worth a try.
00:06:59Good.
00:07:00What's your address?
00:07:01We can fly to Vegas tonight.
00:07:02My man will pick you up at seven.
00:07:05Fly to Vegas...
00:07:07Is there any reason why you can't make it?
00:07:09I...
00:07:10Well, I...
00:07:11Of course not.
00:07:12I...
00:07:13Of course there is...
00:07:15Here's my address.
00:07:19I'll, uh, try to be ready in time, Mr. Castle.
00:07:22And...
00:07:22Goodbye.
00:07:24I hope our association will be satisfactory and mutually beneficial.
00:07:28Oh, yes.
00:07:30And Mr. Castle...
00:07:31I still don't think you're slow on the draw.
00:07:34What do you think?
00:07:43He says he'll pick you up at seven.
00:07:44Hi, Alice.
00:08:02Hi.
00:08:03Well, that's what I like about this room.
00:08:05It always looks lived in.
00:08:06Come on.
00:08:10Let's not milk this gag now.
00:08:12Let's go.
00:08:16Oh, you'd think a couple of gals like us could afford more luxurious quarters.
00:08:21Oh, but I guess we'd rather put our paychecks on our backs.
00:08:24Oh, would you hand me that sweater, Alice, please?
00:08:28Well, I think I'm psychic, A.J., but are you by chance going somewhere?
00:08:33Las Vegas.
00:08:34Las Vegas?
00:08:35You?
00:08:36Mm-hmm.
00:08:37Just for overnight.
00:08:38It's a business conference.
00:08:40I'm going with a client.
00:08:41Incidentally, Mr. Grant recommended me to him.
00:08:44Oh, a him.
00:08:45A suit or suing?
00:08:47Married or single?
00:08:48Come on.
00:08:48Give me the details.
00:08:49The relationship between attorney and client is one of strictest confidence.
00:08:53Now, look.
00:08:53Would you get my nail polish, please?
00:08:55Well, who have you got more confidence in than your roommate?
00:08:57What kind of a taste is it?
00:08:59Oh, my stockings, too, huh?
00:09:01Oh, loosen up, A.J.
00:09:03What sort of a guy is he?
00:09:05Here.
00:09:06You know, I kind of like your new short haircut.
00:09:09Don't change this subject.
00:09:10I was trying to...
00:09:12You do?
00:09:13Well, the girls at the shop said since they cut my hair so short,
00:09:16they don't look like a little old lady anymore.
00:09:18No?
00:09:19No.
00:09:20They look like a little old man now, don't they?
00:09:23Would you get the buzzer for me, please?
00:09:26Thanks.
00:09:30Hello?
00:09:31Mr. Castle, say pick up your lady.
00:09:32Take to the airport.
00:09:38How's that again, please?
00:09:39Mr. Castle, call here.
00:09:40Speak English.
00:09:42Dwayne, call downstairs.
00:09:43You hurry up, please.
00:09:44Okay, she'll be right there.
00:09:47Strict confidence, huh?
00:09:49And with a foreign accent.
00:09:50Oh, that couldn't have been him.
00:09:52That must have been his chauffeur.
00:09:54Chauffeur?
00:09:55What?
00:09:55Say, who is this client?
00:09:58Well, if you won't say anything, it's Ben Castle.
00:10:04Oh, oh.
00:10:05I better help you pack.
00:10:06Oh, you better take your bathing suit, boy.
00:10:10Yeah, that's a little dancing.
00:10:11Wait a minute.
00:10:12What am I saying?
00:10:13You're going to Las Vegas with Wild Ben Castle?
00:10:16Look, I don't need those things.
00:10:17Now, come on.
00:10:17Give me a hand.
00:10:18Give me a hand.
00:10:18Oh, Alice.
00:10:19Now, come to that thing there.
00:10:20Well, you better listen to your Aunt Alice.
00:10:22I've heard plenty about that guy.
00:10:24Not the beauty parlor.
00:10:25Every dame in Southern California's been out with him.
00:10:28Oh, I know.
00:10:28He's been a perfect gentleman with me.
00:10:30And besides, it's just a business trip.
00:10:31Yeah, well, you've got an awful lot of stuff in there for just an overnight hop.
00:10:34Well, I don't know what I'll be called upon to do.
00:10:37That's what I mean.
00:10:38Oh, Alice, goodbye.
00:10:39Now, wait a minute.
00:10:40I'm telling you, A.J., you take care of yourself.
00:10:43Watch that cowboy.
00:10:45He's got away with women.
00:10:46Briefcase, briefcase.
00:10:48Yeah, and you take care that he doesn't forget that you're a lawyer.
00:10:51Coat, coat.
00:10:52Yeah, you take care of that coat.
00:10:54It's mine, you know.
00:10:56Wow.
00:10:57Wild Ben Castle.
00:11:00Should happen to me.
00:11:01I suppose you're the part of Ben's taking to Las Vegas tonight.
00:11:06Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:11:07I was hunting for a different girl.
00:11:09Oh, no, I think you might be hunting for me.
00:11:11I'm A.J. Furnival, Mr. Castle's attorney.
00:11:13Oh, yeah, sure.
00:11:14Glad to meet you.
00:11:15I'm Steve Hall, his pilot.
00:11:18Oh.
00:11:19Oh, aren't we going on a commercial flight?
00:11:21No, I'm taking you on my ship.
00:11:23Ben likes to travel in style.
00:11:26Tonight, he's traveling in better style than usual.
00:11:29Oh, thank you.
00:11:34Oh, my God.
00:11:38Oh, my God.
00:11:40Oh, my God.
00:11:59Well, hello, honey.
00:12:02How are you?
00:12:05Good evening, Mr. Castle.
00:12:07Will it be the usual accommodations?
00:12:09Why, shucks, partner, you know I don't need nothing but a fence post at time a caillou's
00:12:12to.
00:12:13A piece of dry ground to throw my bedroll on.
00:12:16In the morning, of course, I may need little greasewood to cook up a mess of flapjacks.
00:12:20Yeah.
00:12:24Oh, you won't need to register, miss.
00:12:26I'll just put down Mr. Castle and party.
00:12:27Oh, but don't you think I should?
00:12:29I mean, I don't know the municipal code of Las Vegas, but most cities have a section similar
00:12:35to Los Angeles 47.01, which requires that every hotel guest register.
00:12:41Of course, unless they're a man and wife.
00:12:46What?
00:12:47Yeah, Miss Furnival happens to be my attorney.
00:12:51Oh, well, in that case, may I help you?
00:12:55Mr. Castle's key.
00:12:57Yes, sir.
00:13:03Oh, uh, Mr. Castle.
00:13:04Hmm?
00:13:05If you were planning on entertaining any friends in the hotel this weekend, uh, remember,
00:13:09hotel furniture costs money, too.
00:13:12Why, showman.
00:13:19Go along, boy.
00:13:20Oh, Mr. Castle, we heard you were in Las Vegas.
00:13:27Oh, please, Mr. Castle.
00:13:28You're such a convincing actor.
00:13:30Well, thank you, honey.
00:13:31Oh, it is fantastic.
00:13:33Yes.
00:13:35Hey, where's your gun, Struple-on?
00:13:38Smile when you say that, partner.
00:13:42Oh, my, this is very attractive.
00:14:01Yeah, it'll sort of shell you from the winds off the prairie.
00:14:04Boy, you, uh, you bet in there, little gal.
00:14:07Oh, fine.
00:14:12Give me the key.
00:14:13I'll, uh, I'll fend for myself, boy.
00:14:16Oh, Mr. Castle, if you don't mind, not boy.
00:14:20Hmm?
00:14:21Uh, don't call me boy.
00:14:24Oh, well, sure.
00:14:26Sure, anything you say, son.
00:14:34You know, young lady, I just come out here from Vermont.
00:14:38That Mr. Castle, he's the first movie star I've ever seen, close to.
00:14:43Oh, really?
00:14:44Yep, and he's just as natural off the screen as he is on it.
00:14:48Well, I'll put this in the closet.
00:14:51Hello, Raider.
00:14:52Honey, this is Ben Castle.
00:14:54Oh, yes, Mr. Castle.
00:14:56Ah, honey, you know, you've got an awful sweet voice.
00:15:01You married?
00:15:02Yes, I am, Mr. Castle.
00:15:05Oh, well, say hello to your husband for me.
00:15:08And, honey, uh, could you get me one of those drive-yourself cars, you know, a convertible?
00:15:12Yes, sir, Mr. Castle.
00:15:16Do you know if Harry Callan's around the hotel tonight?
00:15:18I put a call through to him in the Golden Horseshoe Room a little while ago, Mr. Castle.
00:15:24Thanks, honey.
00:15:25Oh, uh, oh, well, I, I, I keep a, uh, sort of a wardrobe here with the management, you see.
00:15:41I, I, whenever I'm away from Hollywood, I, I, I gotta wear this get-up.

00:19:01I don't need a lawyer to tell me that his note is no good well in that case I and I'm quite sure that

00:20:20how come a nice girl like you should be having fun is wasting her life tied down to a lot of dull law
00:20:33books and mortgages and babies as corpuses or whatever you call them well it's very easy to explain my my
00:20:41father wanted a boy it is he must be pretty stupid
00:20:45wait

00:21:31oh no no you just said because I was a lawyer I I wasn't able to really enjoy myself and I was thinking that
00:21:38if I hadn't studied my blackstone and uh you hadn't needed counsel you wouldn't have fired me and
00:21:47we wouldn't be in Las Vegas and I wouldn't be dancing with Ben Castle enjoying myself

00:22:13Danger Pass uh-huh oh Danger Pass let's see now

00:25:37I'm not interested in consequences

00:25:42what would be the legal consequences if a guy should take a girl in his arms in the moonlight and kiss her

00:27:05Yes.
00:27:08You know, you...
00:27:09You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:27:21Well, there he is, A.J.
00:27:29But you think I ought to wait here while you talk to him alone?
00:27:33You know, the direct approach, man to man, I mean, the woman, you know, well, you know what I mean.
00:27:42I know what you mean.
00:27:43Darling.
00:27:44For luck.
00:27:45Oh, yeah, sure.
00:27:46Dear friend, there's one thing I want to know.
00:27:50Do you really like this girl?
00:27:52Do I really?
00:27:53Well, sure, I like her.
00:27:54But you think I ought to wait here while you talk to him alone?
00:27:56You know, the direct approach, man to man.
00:27:58I mean, the woman, you know, well, you know what I mean.
00:28:01I know what you mean.
00:28:02Darling.
00:28:03For luck.

00:28:05Dear friend, there's one thing I want to know.

00:28:10Do I really?
00:28:12Well, sure, I like her.
00:28:17Oh, hello.
00:28:18Hello.
00:28:19This is my office, won't you sit down?
00:28:24Vicki.
00:28:31Well, let's get on with it, shall we?
00:28:35You know, that sounded exactly like your father.
00:28:37My father?
00:28:39Did you know my father?
00:28:41Yeah.
00:28:43Swell guy, fine attorney.
00:28:45He represented me many times.
00:28:48I heard he had some financial trouble a few years ago.
00:28:50I should have stepped in then, but...
00:28:52I put it off and then it was too late.
00:28:54That's right, but...
00:28:56How did you know?
00:28:58I find it pays to check with people that I'm about to do business with.
00:29:02I have friends in Los Angeles, so I checked.
00:29:04that my friends in Los Angeles left out something.
00:29:11Didn't tell me anything about this.
00:29:14Oh, well, I...
00:29:17I just got this...
00:29:20tonight.
00:29:22The cowboy?
00:29:23Hmm?
00:29:24He's a lucky guy.
00:29:27The more I think of it, he's a very lucky guy.
00:29:29Excuse me, I want to congratulate the groom.
00:29:40Well, congratulations, Ben.
00:29:42Congratulations?
00:29:43For what, Harry?
00:29:45You just got married, didn't you?
00:29:47Oh, yeah, sure.
00:29:48Thanks, thanks a lot.
00:29:49Under the circumstances, I think I ought to give you a wedding present.
00:29:53You can forget that 60,000, Ben.
00:29:54I'll tear up the note.
00:29:58Good luck, Mrs. Castle.
00:29:59And if the cowboy turns out to be the wrong kind of a husband, you know where to find me.
00:30:04Well, this time you've really surpassed yourself.
00:30:07Of all the cheap, dirty, low-down, double-crossing...
00:30:10What?
00:30:10I said double-crossing.
00:30:12Wait a minute, Steve.
00:30:13What are you trying to say?
00:30:14Nothing, I think.
00:30:15I've already said it.
00:30:16Wait.
00:30:17I don't believe I quite understand.
00:30:20Forget it.
00:30:21Just sour grapes.
00:30:24I, uh...
00:30:25I wouldn't pay any attention to that bird man if I were you.
00:30:29Well, then why don't you explain to me what he means, Ben?
00:30:33Me?
00:30:35I haven't the biggest idea.
00:30:39Well, I, uh...
00:30:42I think I'm beginning to get one.
00:30:47You knew all the time.
00:30:48He knew all the time that there was some past connection between my father and Harry Callan, didn't you?
00:30:54Well, when Mr. Grant suggested you as an attorney, he...
00:30:59He might possibly have mentioned that...
00:31:02Did he, uh...
00:31:04Suggest that you marry me, too?
00:31:07Oh, no.
00:31:09That was my idea.
00:31:10Yes, I'm certain it was.
00:31:13Steve, take me back to Los Angeles.
00:31:15No, wait a minute.
00:31:17You gotta look at it from my side.
00:31:29Fill it up again and mix one for yourself, boy.
00:31:31Now, don't call me boy.
00:31:33Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:34Well, fill it up anyway.
00:31:35Well, I don't know if I should, cowboy.
00:31:37Hey, don't, don't call me cowboy.
00:31:39I'm not...
00:31:40You know, I'm gonna celebrate my wedding.
00:31:43I just got married, you know, he...
00:31:44I'm gonna celebrate him if I hadn't got a wife.
00:31:47Well, here's the luck, cowboy.
00:31:48Here's...
00:31:50I said, please don't call me cowboy.
00:31:53You know, she walked out on me.
00:31:55She's my wife, I'm telling you.
00:31:56He's a very nice girl.
00:31:58Pretty smart, too.
00:31:59She could say I wasn't the right kind of a guy for her.
00:32:02Oh, take it easy, cowboy.
00:32:04Now, do you mind?
00:32:05Please don't call me cowboy.
00:32:06I'm not a...
00:32:08Don't call me cowboy.
00:32:09Sure, sure.
00:32:10Anything you say, son.
00:32:26I'm asleep.
00:32:35Shh.
00:32:36I'm asleep.
00:32:37Oh, Alice, I'm sorry.
00:32:39Well, I certainly didn't expect you home at this hour.
00:32:42Must have been a short conference.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:48Well, prepare yourself for a shock.
00:32:51It wasn't just a conference.
00:32:54Huh?
00:32:54He married you?
00:32:58Castle?
00:32:59Well, congratulations.
00:33:01I think it's just wonderful, A.J.
00:33:03I never would have believed that you and he...
00:33:06But, uh, you're here and you just got married and, uh, shouldn't the groom be around somewhere?
00:33:14He's marrying me with just a planned, cheap trick.
00:33:18He's a cynical, egotistical movie star.
00:33:25Thank heavens I discovered it before I fell in love with him.
00:33:29Oh, sure.
00:33:30Before you fell in love.
00:33:32But you married him.
00:33:34Huh?
00:33:34Well, all right, maybe he wasn't on the up-and-up, but nobody twisted your arm and forced you to say yes, did they?
00:33:43Do you remember me?
00:33:44I'm the girl that tried to warn you about that cowboy.
00:33:48Hmm.
00:33:48And whose fault is it?
00:33:50Whose fault is it?
00:33:52If you didn't read all the fine print in the contract.
00:33:55Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore.
00:33:58Besides, I'm going to get an annulment tomorrow.
00:34:03An annulment?
00:34:05Gee whips, an annul...
00:34:07Why?
00:34:08I know you pretty well, A.J., and you never would have married him unless you loved him.
00:34:17What's the matter, honey?
00:34:18Are you too proud and dignified to fight for him?
00:34:21Oh, he doesn't want a wife.
00:34:23He doesn't need one.
00:34:26What he needs is somebody to grab hold of him and make a man out of him.
00:34:31Oh, don't they call those things wives?
00:34:36What are you suggesting?
00:34:38Oh, nothing.
00:34:47What do you think of me and Bangs?
00:34:50What do you think?
00:34:52I couldn't do it.
00:34:55Maybe over one eye.
00:34:58Hmm?
00:34:59I don't care that much about him.
00:35:03Do you want this all one-sided?
00:35:08Are you suggesting that I live in the same house with him?
00:35:13Some brides do.
00:35:15Well, not me.
00:35:17My only hope is that someday somebody will make him as...
00:35:20miserable as he's made me.
00:35:24Don't you know the one way a woman can really get even with a man is by living with him?
00:35:29Good morning, Ignacio.
00:35:30Good morning, Missy.
00:35:31Very nice to see you again.
00:35:32Thank you, Ignacio.
00:35:33You make me feel very welcome.
00:35:34You make me feel very welcome.
00:35:36Oh, yes.

00:35:56And put them in the spare bedroom.

00:35:58Oh, yes.

00:36:00I'm going to give a great order.
00:36:01Everybody welcome.
00:36:02I'm going to give a great order.
00:36:03Everybody welcome.
00:36:04Especially the young lady.
00:36:05Oh.
00:36:06Oh, yes.
00:36:07Uh, is Mr. Castle up yet?
00:36:08Oh, no.
00:36:09Oh, boy, she's still sleeping.

00:36:15Would you go out and get them, please?
00:36:17And put them in the spare bedroom?
00:36:19Uh, you're moving in here?
00:36:22Uh, well, you see, uh, this is my house now.
00:36:27Oh, you buy house?
00:36:29Oh, no, not exactly.
00:36:31You see, Mr. Castle and I were married last night, and I and Mrs. Castle.
00:36:34Oh, no, you go away.
00:36:36Boy, she's still sleeping.
00:36:38You go away.
00:36:38You come back later.
00:36:40I'm sorry, Ignacio, but I'm staying here.
00:36:43I live here.
00:36:43This is my house.
00:36:45So if you'll be good enough to go out and get my things and bring them in,
00:36:48I'll sort of look around and, uh, make myself at home.
00:36:52Yes, Missy.
00:36:53Yes, Missy some Missy.
00:37:03To Ben with all my love, Linda.
00:37:13Are you a cook here?
00:37:14Mm-hmm.

00:37:16Well, how do you do, Mrs. Forbes?
00:37:22Is, uh, is breakfast ready?
00:37:24Cowboys is.
00:37:25Where?
00:37:26Oh, there.
00:37:28Where?
00:37:29Right there!
00:37:33You'll see thirsty in the morning.
00:37:35Seven on the eight.
00:37:38Red Queen and the Black King.
00:37:40Well, while I'm sort of, uh, waiting, I may as well learn the routine of the house.
00:37:52The, the laundry days, the menus, and the, uh, monthly accounts.
00:37:57Who's been talking to you about my accounts?
00:38:01No one.
00:38:02You have no right to come in here and accuse me of stealing.
00:38:04I didn't accuse you.
00:38:06You're gonna be that kind of a wife, watching every penny, I'll-
00:38:09You'll quit?
00:38:10Yes, I will!
00:38:11I had your touch spotted the minute you came through the door.
00:38:14Menus, accounts.
00:38:16Believe you me, there isn't room for two women in this house.
00:38:19Well, if that is your decision, believe me, I heartily concur.
00:38:23Wait a minute!
00:38:24You can't fire me!
00:38:25You are so right, because you have just quit.
00:38:28And we'll leave it that way, shall we?
00:38:32Thank you, please.
00:38:35Oh, excuse.
00:38:36Poor Missy.
00:38:38Poor, poor Missy.

00:38:54Publicity man say you and Mrs. Bencastle take picture this afternoon.
00:38:59Oh, well, we'll be ready, Ignacio.

00:39:13Poor Ignacio!
00:39:17Mr. Bencastle, your breakfast is ready.
00:39:36Mr. Bencastle, your breakfast is ready.
00:39:41Mr. Guetzel, your breakfast is ready.
00:39:50Now, put it in the bucket.
00:39:54Oh, my head.
00:39:57What is it?
00:40:00What did you wait me so early for?
00:40:03I didn't get to bed until 7 o'clock.
00:40:08Close the curtains.
00:40:12Mrs. Forbes, close the curtains. There's still much light in here.
00:40:23They are closed.
00:40:26They're closed?
00:40:28Oh, they are closed.
00:40:30Keep them closed.
00:40:32And Mrs. Forbes,
00:40:34please don't let anybody else in this room all day.
00:40:37All day.
00:40:40Oh, who is it?
00:40:42Will you please go away, please?
00:40:45Mr. Castle, may I have your autograph, please?
00:40:48Look, I...
00:40:50Autograph?
00:40:52Autograph? How did you give a...
00:40:54Mrs. Forbes, Ignacio, get these people out of here!
00:40:57Mr. Castle, please give me your autograph.
00:40:59What's that?
00:41:00Didn't your mother ever tell you that I...
00:41:02I don't give autographs?
00:41:05I think you need some coffee.
00:41:07No, no, no, I don't need any coffee.
00:41:08What I need...
00:41:09I...
00:41:11I need somebody to talk to them.
00:41:15You don't know what I did, do you?
00:41:18I got married.
00:41:20Yes.
00:41:21I know.
00:41:22It's not even half of it.
00:41:23My wife left me.
00:41:26But she's back then.
00:41:28Yes.
00:41:29Somebody else.
00:41:31Well...
00:41:33What difference can one more make?
00:41:36Come in!
00:41:39Mr. Castle!
00:41:41I want a few words with you.
00:41:43I think you should be informed that I've just received notice!
00:41:48Hmm?
00:41:49I've just received notice!
00:41:53But aren't you a little too old for the draft?
00:41:57I'm not talking about the draft, Mr. Castle!
00:41:59I've just been discharged!
00:42:02Already?
00:42:04But...
00:42:06How can you be discharged before you're drafted?
00:42:09Please try to understand me, Mr. Castle!
00:42:12Mrs. Forbes, I am doing the very best I can.
00:42:16I was in the kitchen, slaving my fingers to the bone over a hot stove and...
00:42:20Over a hot stove and...
00:42:21That's not...
00:42:22My...
00:42:23My head aches!
00:42:24Look, come back later, hmm?
00:42:26Over a hot stove when your wife came in and told me to get out!
00:42:33Now look at here, cowboy!
00:42:34I've been with you for three long years!
00:42:38And no gal in the house can tell me what to do, much less fire me!
00:42:44It may interest you to know, Mrs. Forbes, that under the law, the kitchen is the special and peculiar province of the wife.
00:42:50As in the case of Perkins v. Perkins, Justice McCarthy ruled for the plaintiff, Jennifer Perkins...
00:42:55Perkins?
00:42:56I've never heard of them!
00:42:57And granted her full jurisdiction in the matter of dismissing domestic employees!
00:43:03Ah!
00:43:04That's right!
00:43:05That's the law!
00:43:07Perkins v. Pickles!
00:43:10So I suggest, Mrs. Forbes, that you start packing immediately!
00:43:16It may be a little while before I can leave!
00:43:20I've got a few things cooking!
00:43:37Oh, it's nice!
00:43:39Where'd everybody go, hmm?
00:43:42Oh, well, where's my breakfast?
00:43:45Eat.
00:43:49Ah!
00:43:53Must be on the other side!
00:44:03Ah!
00:44:05Another one!
00:44:07Must be ladies' day!
00:44:10Ah!
00:44:11How do you do?
00:44:14Ah!
00:44:15You're married, sir, huh?
00:44:16Whatever happened to my wife, you know?
00:44:20A vanished thing!
00:44:21You see...
00:44:26Hey, Shane!
00:44:28That's funny!
00:44:29I was just talking about you!
00:44:31I was...
00:44:33Oh!
00:44:34Oh, what's the matter?
00:44:36Oh, you should have been here earlier.
00:44:38It was a sell-out.
00:44:40Harmony, will you send out three cans of tomato juice,
00:44:43tomato juice, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce,
00:44:45some spirits of ammonia,
00:44:47and two raw eggs.
00:44:51Pardon me.
00:44:58Caption!
00:44:59The cowboy star with his two dearest possessions,
00:45:00his bride and his horse.
00:45:01How's that sound to you, Ben?
00:45:03It's all right with me, if Pancher doesn't mind.
00:45:09One, two, three!
00:45:10Got it!
00:45:11Oh, now.
00:45:12Oh, boy, take it easy.
00:45:13Okay, now, Ben, let's get a couple of shots with you in the saddle.
00:45:15Oh, no, not today, Jake.
00:45:17After what I've been through, I can't take it.
00:45:18Ah, but your fans expect it.
00:45:19We'll get Sam to help you on the horse.
00:45:22To help him?
00:45:24What does he mean, help him?
00:45:26Why, in his last picture,
00:45:27the sheriff of Dead Man's Gulch
00:45:29he jumped from the second story right onto Pancho's back, didn't you?
00:45:33Yeah, well, uh, no, not exactly that.
00:45:35That was my double.
00:45:37What?
00:45:38You might as well know it right away.
00:45:40I hate horses.
00:45:42Yeah, this is Sam Taylor, Abigail.
00:45:44He's Pancho's stable mate.
00:45:45He's what Ben Cashel should be, a real cowboy.
00:45:48How do you do, Sam?
00:45:49Glad to know him, ma'am.
00:45:50Yes, sir, a real cowboy.
00:45:51Bow-legged, born in the saddle.
00:45:54Shoes to back him.
00:45:57Well, let's get this over with us, Sam.
00:45:59Hold on to him, Jake.
00:46:01Well, let him go.
00:46:02You know what a beast he is.
00:46:03All right, Sam.
00:46:04Hold on to me, though.
00:46:05Let me go now.
00:46:06I won't.
00:46:07Wait up.
00:46:08Take it easy, Pancho.
00:46:09That's it.
00:46:10I'm not going to hurt you.
00:46:16All right.
00:46:17I made it.
00:46:18All right, Abigail.
00:46:19One, two, three.
00:46:22Got it.
00:46:23Okay, now Mrs. Castle is shot at you on Pancho and back up then.
00:46:26Give us a different angle.
00:46:27No, no, it's crowded enough up here already.
00:46:29Don't make a good shot.
00:46:30Turn the horse around, Sam.
00:46:33Now look, nothing fancy.
00:46:38I'll help you.
00:46:39Oh.
00:46:44Well, now, take it easy.
00:46:47Hold on.
00:46:48Come on, smile, Dan.
00:46:49Look happy.
00:46:50Look at Pancho.
00:46:51He's smiling.
00:46:52Can I look sad in this picture?
00:46:53Oh, well.
00:46:54All right, Abigail.
00:46:55One, two, three.
00:46:56Got it.
00:46:57Mrs. Castle, Mrs. Castle.
00:46:58News of paper, man.
00:46:59He come.
00:47:00Lay off.
00:47:01I need lay off.
00:47:02Oh, I got to get out of here.
00:47:03What's the matter?
00:47:04Where are you going?
00:47:05The reporters are here.
00:47:06Help me down.
00:47:07Hold me.
00:47:08Hold me.
00:47:09What about me?
00:47:11Now listen, Mrs. Castle.
00:47:12You're new to all this.
00:47:13So don't say much.
00:47:14Let me and Ben do the talking.
00:47:15They're only interested in the cowboy.
00:47:17You just happen to be married to him.
00:47:20Hiya.
00:47:21Howdy, boys.
00:47:22Hiya, Ben.
00:47:23Congratulations.
00:47:24Thank you kindly.
00:47:25Why did I see you to pass this little visit?
00:47:26Come on.
00:47:27I want you to meet my new little filly, Abigail.
00:47:29Honey, meet my good friends of the Pretts.
00:47:32Well, go on.
00:47:33Say howdy.
00:47:35Howdy.
00:47:36Howdy.
00:47:37Say, Ben, how'd you two happen to get acquainted?
00:47:39Well, was this the way, partner?
00:47:40I hired her to represent me in a little legal matter.
00:47:42Legal matter?
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:44Are you a lawyer, Mrs. Castle?
00:47:47I was A.J. Furnival.
00:47:48I had offices in Beverly Hills.
00:47:49Furnival?
00:47:50Off of Furnival's daughter?
00:47:52That's right.
00:47:53This is an angle.
00:47:54Get your camera over here, Bill.
00:47:55Solo shots of Mrs. Castle.
00:47:56You take a mighty pretty picture, too.
00:47:58Do you mind getting out of the picture, Ben, please?
00:48:00Huh?
00:48:01I said, would you mind getting out of the picture, please?
00:48:03Oh, no, no, no, I guess not.
00:48:05No.
00:48:10Mrs. Castle, what do you think of the Barton case?
00:48:12Oh, I think it's an open and shut case.
00:48:14There was a similar case before the Supreme Court last April.
00:48:17The majority opinion by the Chief Justice, six Associate Justices...
00:48:20Do you ever consider going into politics?
00:48:22Oh, no.
00:48:23How do you think a career in a home will make?
00:48:24How about some domestic stuff on the inside the house of Mrs. Castle?
00:48:27Yeah, yeah, come on, Danny, I need you.
00:48:29Oh, you too, Ben, we may need you.
00:48:31If you don't think I'll be in the way.
00:48:33I've got to hand it to you, cowboy.
00:48:35You really lassoed quite a girl.
00:48:37Yeah, well, that's just the kind of a prairie flower I've always been looking for.
00:48:40Yeah?
00:48:41You're going to fool me.
00:48:43Oh, I sowed a few wild oats, maybe, but shucks, I don't mean nothing.
00:48:46Put the cowboy hat on, Mrs. Castle.
00:48:50Now smile.
00:48:52Thank you, Mrs. Castle.
00:48:53Now we'd like a few shots on the terrace.
00:48:55Good idea.
00:48:56I'll round up some props.
00:48:58What's the joint he's got here?
00:49:03Just as he always says, nothing too good with a cowboy.
00:49:06Fire!
00:49:07Almost a lady now, Mr. Halliday.
00:49:09Well, boys, here I am.
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:12What can we have to do now, Jake?
00:49:13Well, there must be a million shots we can get out here on the terrace.
00:49:16Let's see.
00:49:17How about one of her sitting on the couch reading the magazine?
00:49:19Hey, how about that?
00:49:21Mr. Castle.
00:49:22Huh?
00:49:23I haven't finished packing yet.
00:49:25There's been some telephone calls.
00:49:27Old friends?
00:49:28Well, never mind that right now, Mrs. Forbes.
00:49:31I'll tell her you'll call back later.
00:49:35Ben.
00:49:36Hmm?
00:49:37How about putting a little romance in these shots?
00:49:39Know what I mean?
00:49:40Yeah, sure.
00:49:41Well, I don't mind if Abby doesn't.
00:49:46Do you, Abby?
00:49:47No.
00:49:48I don't mind at all.
00:49:50After all, she's my wife.
00:49:51Yeah, that's right.
00:49:52That's right.
00:49:53I'm his wife.
00:49:54Yeah.
00:49:55Well,
00:49:56not Belle.
00:49:57Well,
00:49:59I will not mark the table at all, but I will kiss him.
00:50:02No, Ben.
00:50:03Kiss him.
00:50:04Mm-ooh-ih-ih- supplies.
00:50:05Oh,
00:50:21All right, all right. That'll be enough for you. Let's give them a break.
00:50:42They've all gone.
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:51You know, it seems a shame, but let a fire like this go to waste.
00:50:58Yes.
00:50:59It's a very good one.
00:51:01Yeah.
00:51:02Do you like chuck wagon food?
00:51:05You?
00:51:08That's the only thing about the West I do like.
00:51:21Turn it off.
00:51:25Hmm?
00:51:26Turn off the radio.
00:51:28Hmm?
00:51:29Don't you, uh, remember that?
00:51:34Hmm?
00:51:35You don't remember that song?
00:51:37No.
00:51:38Well, that was out of your picture, Deadwood Dick.
00:51:41Yeah, sure.
00:51:42Would you, uh, would you do me a favor?
00:51:48Yeah, sure.
00:51:51Anything.
00:51:52Would you sing it for me?
00:51:55No?
00:51:57Uh, well, I, uh, I don't remember that, that song very well.
00:52:03After all that, that was a long time ago, you know.
00:52:05Oh, please, please.
00:52:07Well, uh, I have to get my guitar.
00:52:09Ignacio, come here.
00:52:15Put on a record.
00:52:21Now, uh, I want you to close your eyes, little gal, and try to use your imagination.
00:52:36No more wandering around since I've found my true love.
00:52:43No more hitting the trail looking for a new love.
00:52:49No more wandering around, rounding up the cattle.
00:52:55Let them have a stampede.
00:52:59They can all skedaddle.
00:53:02So goodbye, old paint.
00:53:06My guns ain't spittin' lead.
00:53:09I'm through with chasin' rustlers.
00:53:13Gonna chase my gal.
00:53:15Instead, I'll be settlin' down.
00:53:18You can keep the prairie.
00:53:22I'll be happy in town.
00:53:25With the gal I'm married.
00:53:28You can keep the prairie.
00:53:55He likes to join us sometimes.
00:53:57With the gal I'm married.
00:53:59With the gal I'm married.
00:54:02I'll be settlin' down.
00:54:05You can keep the prairie.
00:54:08I'll be happy in town.
00:54:11With the gal I'm married.
00:54:15I guess I should've told you about it.
00:54:28I don't do my own singing in pictures.
00:54:30You see, I just pretend that they get another guy and they dub in his voice and guitar.
00:54:38It's not that I don't like music, it's just that I can't carry a tune.
00:54:44Somebody else rides poncho.
00:54:45Somebody else sings for you.
00:54:47Isn't there anything that you can do for yourself?
00:54:51Hey!
00:54:52Here they are, everybody!
00:54:54The newlyweds!
00:54:55Hi!
00:54:56Hi!
00:54:57What you got that I haven't gotten?
00:54:58What is she doing?
00:54:59This is her, isn't it?
00:55:01Yes.
00:55:02Hello, honey.
00:55:03Abby, these are some friends of mine.
00:55:05I wish to meet my wife, Abigail.
00:55:07Abigail?
00:55:08How do you?
00:55:09Hey, that calls for a drink!
00:55:10Oh, now will you look at what I found!
00:55:14Ha-ha!
00:55:15He's been giving her his old record routine.
00:55:18He played for me that night down by the swimming pool.
00:55:21Remember, Ben?
00:55:22I remember the night the needle got stuck.
00:55:24Tell me, how did you meet the little lady?
00:55:26Well, I...
00:55:27Never mind.
00:55:28Hey, you haven't forgotten.
00:55:29You promised me a part in your next picture.
00:55:32Listen, honey, I never went back in a promise on you yet.
00:55:34Hey, let's all go to the Macombo, wouldn't you say?
00:55:36Oh, that's a great idea.
00:55:37They have a new singer there you'd like, Ben.
00:55:39She's just your type.
00:55:40Look, you all run on ahead.
00:55:42I'll join you later at the place.
00:55:44Hurry up, will ya?
00:55:46We'll be waiting for her.
00:55:47In the studio, Mr. Castle.
00:55:48Well, tell him I'll call back later.
00:55:50But this is Jay Norman Biggin.
00:55:51Big...
00:55:52Oh, Bergin, yeah.
00:55:54Hello?
00:55:55Hello, Jay-Ann.
00:55:56I can't talk to you right now.
00:55:57I'm sorry, I...
00:55:59Yes, Jay-Ann.
00:56:01Yes, Mr. Bergin.
00:56:03Yes, sir, I know what my contract says.
00:56:06I'll see you in the morning.
00:56:09No, no, I don't think I can bring my lawyer with me.
00:56:12I don't...
00:56:13Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:17Wait a minute.
00:56:18Maybe I can.
00:56:20Jay-Ann, you're absolutely right.
00:56:22That's the thing to do.
00:56:23I'll see you in the morning.
00:56:25Then, let's go.
00:56:26I'll see you in the morning.
00:56:40Now, remember, AJ.
00:56:43He's a man with a very strong will, a very determined nature, and he irritates very easily.
00:56:51Besides all that, he's my boss.
00:56:54If you would prefer another counsel...
00:56:56No, no, no, you stay where you are. I'll see if I can round him up.
00:56:59I sure hope this is one of his good days.
00:57:13We'll work on him out here, Mr. Bergen.
00:57:17Oh, hello, Sam.
00:57:19Howdy.
00:57:20Hello, Poncho.
00:57:22Some horse, huh?
00:57:25Yes, he certainly is.
00:57:28He's the most valuable actor at Apex Allied.
00:57:33Oh?
00:57:34You know how many people paid to see his picture last year?
00:57:37Twenty-five million.
00:57:40He said he talked to him.
00:57:47Mr. Bergen?
00:57:48Where are you?
00:57:53I can hear you, but...
00:57:55Where are you?
00:57:59Stop bumbling.
00:58:00Where are you?
00:58:03Where?
00:58:05I see that you two have already gotten together.
00:58:08This woman with you?
00:58:10Well, in a way, Jay-Ann, sometimes.
00:58:14Uh...
00:58:15She's my wife.
00:58:16Your wife?
00:58:17Well, what's she doing here?
00:58:18I told you to be a lawyer.
00:58:20Well, she's also my lawyer.
00:58:22Right now, I'm a justice lawyer.
00:58:25Well, since you managed to find out how I feel about your... client...
00:58:31Here's his contract.
00:58:34Do I tear it up, or do you?
00:58:38On what grounds?
00:58:42Grounds?
00:58:43Take a look at it.
00:58:44You'll find plenty of grounds.
00:58:46Paragraph 33.
00:58:48He can't get married without permission of the studio.
00:58:51Mr. Bergen, uh...
00:58:53I'm afraid that you'll find that these are very, uh...
00:58:56Unusual clauses, and I doubt that they will stand the test of a court action.
00:59:01I'll take that, Chet.
00:59:03Telephone call for you, Mr. Castle.
00:59:06But...
00:59:07Oh, uh...
00:59:08Go ahead, Ben.
00:59:09I'm almost finished with Mr. Bergen.
00:59:11But, A.J., shouldn't I stay?
00:59:13After all, it is my contract.
00:59:15It was your contract.
00:59:21Tomorrow morning, I shall file suit on behalf of my client against Apex Allied Studios...
00:59:27...for the sum of $150,000.
00:59:29What?
00:59:31I feel confident the courts will, uh...
00:59:33...sustain such an action for breach of contract...
00:59:36...and award damages to the plaintiff.
00:59:39Well, he's the one that broke the contract, not me.
00:59:41Hmm.
00:59:43What about clause 17?
00:59:45What about clause 17?
00:59:50The corporation will give the artist, that's Ben...
00:59:52...solo star credit above the title of each picture.
00:59:55He's had it.
00:59:57And, uh...
00:59:58...in all paid advertising and publicity, furthermore...
01:00:01...no other member of the cast may appear in the same size of type...
01:00:05...as large as that accorded the name of the artist.
01:00:08Mm-hmm.
01:00:11That's what it says.
01:00:12Uh, did you notice this over here, Mr. Bergen?
01:00:16There are two names above the title.
01:00:19But that's Poncho's name, he's a horse.
01:00:23But, uh...
01:00:24...his name is the same size as Ben's.
01:00:27As a matter of fact, I think it's a little bit larger.
01:00:31But he's an animal, not an actor.
01:00:34Didn't you tell me just a few moments ago...
01:00:36...that Poncho was the most valuable actor you had in your studio?
01:00:41All right.
01:00:42All right.
01:00:44I'm stuck with that no-talent cowboy for another 40 weeks.
01:00:48But when his next option comes up, it's gonna drop with a thud.
01:00:53Sure, sure.
01:00:54Any...any time at all, it's fine.
01:00:57Yeah.
01:00:58It's well.
01:00:59Goodbye.
01:01:03Hey, AJ.
01:01:04We gotta get back to town right away.
01:01:06Yes, but there's something I wanna tell you first.
01:01:08Mr. Bergen and I have just torn up your contract.
01:01:11Oh, swell.
01:01:12Everything happens to me at once.
01:01:13No, we've...we've reached a new agreement.
01:01:15At that call, I was Harry Callan on the phone.
01:01:17He's in town.
01:01:18He might drop in on us, and...
01:01:19...if you weren't there...
01:01:20Sorry, I won't be there.
01:01:21You can't do this to me.
01:01:23What's it gonna save my career if you won't save my neck?
01:01:26Here you are, Mrs. Castle.
01:01:28Notes on what we agreed to, and a check as an advance against Ben's salary.
01:01:33Thank you very much, Mr. Bergen.
01:01:36You know, you're not as smart a lawyer as I thought you were.
01:01:39I'd have given a $75,000 advance instead of $60,000.
01:01:43Well, $60,000 would be quite sufficient.
01:01:50Well, there's your contract.
01:01:53And if Mr. Callan is really in town, you can give him this.
01:01:57Now that all of your problems are solved, you don't need a lawyer, and...
01:02:01I'm sure you don't want a wife.
01:02:04So, why don't you give a big party tonight and celebrate?
01:02:07What?
01:02:14Look, AJ, I don't want to celebrate.
01:02:15I want you.
01:02:16It isn't only because of Callan.
01:02:18Wait a minute.
01:02:19How am I gonna get home?
01:02:20Poncho's in there!
01:02:21Write him, cowboy!
01:02:32What's this?
01:02:34Oh, that's a picture of me when I won a bathing beauty contest.
01:02:38What year was it?
01:02:39Uh, 1922.
01:02:44And what's this?
01:02:45That...
01:02:46That's me when I graduated charm school.
01:02:52Oh.
01:02:53Oh, there I go fogging up your glasses again.
01:02:56Mm-hmm.
01:02:59Hello, AJ.
01:03:00Hello.
01:03:01Uh, we were kind of...
01:03:03We were sort of...
01:03:04You're back!
01:03:06I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
01:03:08Oh, perish the thought.
01:03:10Uh, this is...
01:03:12Oh, this is Austin Tisdale.
01:03:14How do you do?
01:03:15How do you do?
01:03:16Mr. AJ, uh, he's assistant cashier, uh, at my bank.
01:03:20They sent him over to check up on my account.
01:03:21They think I got more liabilities than assets.
01:03:24Isn't that right, Austin?
01:03:25Well, uh, in a way.
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:27Oh, here.
01:03:29Oh, Alice, wait a minute.
01:03:31Don't answer that.
01:03:32Oh.
01:03:33I...
01:03:34I think that's, uh, uh, one of my clients and I don't want to talk to him.
01:03:37You mean it's me?
01:03:38And you don't want to?
01:03:39No.
01:03:40Well, if he was, why not?
01:03:41Because he misrepresented the facts and I walked out on the cake.
01:03:44Are you a little late?
01:03:45Well, no, but I, I found out in time.
01:03:48Now, you just let that ring.
01:03:49I'm going downstairs and get my law books out of my car.
01:03:51Oh, no.
01:03:52Austin will get them for you.
01:03:53It's a black coupe, the oldest job on the street.
01:03:55You can't miss it.
01:03:58Now, you just tell Aunt Alice what that cowboy did.
01:04:02That thing is liable to ring for hours.
01:04:05I hope it does.
01:04:14This place gets more like a firehouse every day.
01:04:21Hello.
01:04:22Hello.
01:04:23Hello.
01:04:24If that's who I think it is, I'm not at home.
01:04:29You're wasting your time, cowboy.
01:04:31Oh, how do you do?
01:04:32I'm looking for Miss Furnival.
01:04:33Uh, Mrs. Castle.
01:04:35Well, I'll have to see if she's in and announce her in just a moment.
01:04:40Hey, it's a man.
01:04:41And a fresh one.
01:04:42I better let him in.
01:04:45Entree.
01:04:47Hi, Abby.
01:04:48Steve.
01:04:49What are you doing here?
01:04:50Well, I just saw the morning papers and I...
01:04:53Oh, this is my roommate, Aunt Alice.
01:04:55How do you do?
01:04:56The aunt part is just a courtesy title.
01:04:58Hi, Aunt Alice.
01:04:59Here's a picture of you with a cowboy with only a horse between you.
01:05:02What gives?
01:05:07You're wasting your time, cowboy.
01:05:09Oh, it's Austin.
01:05:12Hi.
01:05:13Uh, Mr. Tisdale and Mr. Hall.
01:05:16How are you?
01:05:17How are you doing?
01:05:18Uh, I suppose you've got some plans, huh?
01:05:20Plans?
01:05:21Uh, did you come to fix the toaster this morning?
01:05:23Well, no.
01:05:24I fixed it last night, don't you remember?
01:05:25Today I'm supposed to start working on the alarm clock.
01:05:27Yeah.
01:05:28What are you going to do?
01:05:29Well, I plan to stay here with Aunt Alice for the rest of my life.
01:05:34Oh, but you can't do that.
01:05:37A girl like you needs a man to...
01:05:40Well, I don't need Ben.
01:05:46But you'll want a home and a, and a guy who'll...
01:05:55A guy who'll work for you, make you happy.
01:05:58But Ben is not that kind.
01:06:01Who said anything about Ben?
01:06:13Hello?
01:06:14What?
01:06:15Well, I know.
01:06:16Our phone is working perfectly.
01:06:19Can't you hear it ring?
01:06:23You're welcome.
01:06:27I don't know.
01:06:28It seems like I always try to come in for a landing when there's another plane on the runway.
01:06:33Well...
01:06:35Well, if you need somebody to fly you to Reno...
01:06:38You know where to find me.
01:06:40Thank you, Steve.
01:06:43Bye.
01:06:44Bye.
01:06:49What can I do for you, cowboy?
01:06:52I...
01:06:53I could save you a trip up to my home, so...
01:06:56I brought...
01:07:00I told you to forget about paying this.
01:07:02When you got married, things changed.
01:07:04Things have changed back.
01:07:06Abigail's not with me anymore.
01:07:08Why?
01:07:11Well...
01:07:14A lot of reasons.
01:07:15You look as though you miss her, cowboy.
01:07:17I do.
01:07:19It was all my fault, I guess.
01:07:21I...
01:07:23I've tried everything I could think of.
01:07:24Well, there's always some sort of an angle that you can use on a woman.
01:07:27I thought I knew them all.
01:07:28But what kind of an angle can you use on a woman who's an attorney at law?
01:07:34Yes, you have a problem.
01:07:37As a matter of fact, I've got a few of them myself.
01:07:42And your $60,000...
01:07:45Can't help solve them.
01:07:49Good night, cowboy.
01:07:50Thanks, Harry.
01:07:51Thanks, Harry.
01:07:56Harry.
01:08:01Now, boy.
01:08:02Here's an angle you could use on your wife.
01:08:03Operator.
01:08:04Huh?
01:08:05Operator.
01:08:06Get me Mrs. A.J. Ben Castle-Fernival at Camp Kilgar in the San Bernardino Mountains.
01:08:09Now, this is a matter of life and death, mostly death.
01:08:10No!
01:08:11No!
01:08:12That's what I'm saying.
01:08:13I don't know.
01:08:14You can't help me.
01:08:15Let's go.
01:08:16Go.
01:08:17Go.
01:08:18Go.
01:08:19Go.
01:08:20Go.
01:08:21Go.
01:08:22Go.
01:08:23Go.
01:08:24Go.
01:08:25Go.
01:08:26Go.
01:08:27Go, go!
01:08:28Go.
01:08:30Go, go.
01:08:31Go.
01:08:32Go.
01:08:33Go.
01:08:34Go.
01:08:35Go!
01:08:37Go.
01:08:38Oh, I'm stoned.
01:08:44Hello.
01:08:49Come in.
01:08:51Mrs. Castle.
01:08:53Hello, Uncle George.
01:08:54Kitten, darling.
01:08:56Uncle George?
01:08:57Yes, Abby always calls me Uncle.
01:08:59I've known her ever since she was a little girl.
01:09:02Well, Kitten, I guess the boys have told you that Ben here is in pretty serious trouble.
01:09:06Harry Callan's been murdered.
01:09:08And his bodyguard found Ben at the scene of the crime.
01:09:11He wouldn't even make a statement without his lawyer.
01:09:13So if you want to talk to him alone before...
01:09:16I think I had better confer with him alone.
01:09:23I hate to do this to you, little gal.
01:09:25I guess you don't stand a chance of winning the case.
01:09:27That's nonsense, Ben.
01:09:28You didn't kill Harry Callan.
01:09:29Of course not, but look at the evidence against me.
01:09:32I had a motive.
01:09:33I owed him $60,000.
01:09:34But you had a check to pay him.
01:09:36Yeah, but he wouldn't take it.
01:09:36He burned it.
01:09:37Then the guy stepped through the window and shot him.
01:09:39You, you were just a witness.
01:09:41But I picked up the gun and I was still holding it when Ricky walked in.
01:09:45Oh, that's still circumstantial and not too serious.
01:09:49I do think you ought to have a good criminal lawyer, though.
01:09:51And a friend of my father...
01:09:52No, no, I don't believe in changing horses in the middle of a stream.
01:09:56But I...
01:09:56Well, there's so little to go on in my experience.
01:09:59It's very limited.
01:10:00Of course, if you're afraid to tackle a criminal case.
01:10:02Well, that's ridiculous.
01:10:03I'll have you cleared in 24 hours.
01:10:05They won't even get an indictment.
01:10:07That's more like it.
01:10:08That's my wife talking.
01:10:09Correction.
01:10:10That's your lawyer talking.
01:10:12Now, just one more thing.
01:10:13Would you recognize the killer if you were to see him again?
01:10:16Well, I just got a glimpse of him, but I guess I might.
01:10:19Good.
01:10:22Uncle George.
01:10:24Abby, you know Mr. Hillman from the DA's office.
01:10:26Abby, how are you all?
01:10:27Hello, how are you?
01:10:27Mr. Castle, Mr. Hillman.
01:10:28Mr. Castle.
01:10:29How are you?
01:10:30Well, let's get on with it, shall we?
01:10:33I've just had a talk with my client,
01:10:35and I'm not only convinced of his innocence,
01:10:37but I'm also in possession of certain information
01:10:41which will enable us to produce the real killer within 24 hours.
01:10:46So if you will just release Ben and...
01:10:48Release him.
01:10:49He's our only suspect.
01:10:51Well, I could wake up Judge Martins
01:10:55and ask for a writ of habeas corpus,
01:10:57but then it'd be in all the papers
01:10:58that you've been holding an important person like Ben
01:11:01without sufficient evidence.
01:11:02Sufficient evidence?
01:11:04Abby, he was found with a gun in his hand.
01:11:07I suppose you've given him the paraffin test.
01:11:11Mm-hmm, sure.
01:11:12Kind of messy, too.
01:11:13I still got something under my fingernails.
01:11:14Well, has he fired a gun in the past 72 hours?
01:11:18No, but the paraffin test isn't conclusive.
01:11:21Well, in addition, I can prove that he had in his possession
01:11:24a check to pay Harry Callen what he owed him.
01:11:26Fred, can she really build a defense out of this?
01:11:30Her father would have.
01:11:33Well, Abby, if you do have any information about the killer,
01:11:36we'll run it down for you.
01:11:37Uh-uh, just give us until morning
01:11:40and we'll bring in the killer ourselves.
01:11:42If it's okay with you, Fred.
01:11:43Sure, send a couple of the boys with him.
01:11:45We won't be taking much risk.
01:11:46Abigail, the district attorney's office seems to be...
01:11:49Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:11:50It's entirely up to you, Chief.
01:11:51Now, you know it.
01:11:52Mr. Castle is under your jurisdiction.
01:11:54Oh, thank you, Uncle George.
01:11:55Thank you, Fred.
01:11:56You both have been just wonderful.
01:11:57Come on, Ben.
01:11:57Remember, you just have four hours.
01:11:59Oh, that'll be quite sufficient.
01:12:00That'll do it.
01:12:00Come on, Ben.
01:12:01Hold on, little gal.
01:12:02I sure can't thank you enough, Uncle George.
01:12:04Oh, thanks.
01:12:04Boys, stay with them.
01:12:09Don't let them out of your sight.
01:12:10And have them back here at 2 a.m.
01:12:12Yes, sir.
01:12:15Wait a minute.
01:12:16Where do you think you're going?
01:12:17Well, uh...
01:12:17Well, the chief said we could have four hours to...
01:12:19Yeah, without some chaperones and in the police car.
01:12:21Oh, I didn't...
01:12:22Oh, Ben.
01:12:23What?
01:12:24Ben, help me.
01:12:25What happened?
01:12:25Abby, what is that?
01:12:25What's happened?
01:12:26Oh, I've been having these spells, and I...
01:12:30I didn't want to tell you.
01:12:31Tell me what?
01:12:32Well, the doctor isn't sure yet.
01:12:36Daddy?
01:12:36Daddy?
01:12:37You mean...
01:12:39I mean, that's almost impossible.
01:12:43Get rid of the cops.
01:12:44Yeah, sure.
01:12:44Boys.
01:12:45Boys, you've got to help me.
01:12:46What's wrong, Mr. Castle?
01:12:47It's my wife.
01:12:47It's our first.
01:12:48I feel kind of funny myself.
01:12:50I don't know how you feel.
01:12:50I've had five.
01:12:51Yeah, well, you shouldn't...
01:12:52Water.
01:12:52Water.
01:12:53Water.
01:12:54Water.
01:12:54Oh, I'm so hungry.
01:12:57If only I had something to eat, like...
01:13:00like strawberries and pickles or something.
01:13:05Well, I haven't got any strawberries, but I might have some pickles.
01:13:07Oh, look, will you, please?
01:13:07Hurry up, okay.
01:13:08Of course.
01:13:20Hey, hey, they're gone.
01:13:21Maybe he took them to the hospital.
01:13:23Yeah, that must be it.
01:13:24Hey, we could catch up and clear a path.
01:13:26Oh, sure.
01:13:26Wait a minute.
01:13:27Wait a minute.
01:13:28What's the matter?
01:13:29How long have those two been married?
01:13:30Don't you remember?
01:13:31It was in the papers just last...
01:13:32Yeah.
01:13:33How about that?
01:13:35We've been tricked.
01:13:35Come on, let's get in the car.
01:13:37You weren't serious when you told the chief we'd bring the killer in, were you?
01:13:41I...
01:13:41This is a pretty big town.
01:13:43I think I know where we might get a lead.
01:13:48Strawberries and pickles.
01:13:49So, Callum got his tonight, huh?
01:13:58Ah, figured.
01:14:00Well, uh, Mr. Callum must have had quite a few enemies.
01:14:04Enemies?
01:14:05Mm-hmm.
01:14:06You want names?
01:14:08Don't look at me.
01:14:10You know I got a bad memory for names.
01:14:12Yeah, me too.
01:14:13Boys, you don't understand.
01:14:15This is Abigail Furnival, Arthur's daughter.
01:14:20You know, he did all of us a few good turns.
01:14:26I'd say, uh, Tony Lomack was our pigeon.
01:14:30Uh-uh.
01:14:31Lomack didn't do it.
01:14:32I just finished bailing him out of jail about 15 minutes ago.
01:14:37Wait a minute.
01:14:39What time was Callum bumped off?
01:14:41Oh, I reckon it was a little after 8.
01:14:44And Lomack was picked up by the cops about 8 to 30.
01:14:47You know, he could have done it at that.
01:14:51Sure.
01:14:52That's why he was in such a big hurry to get out of town.
01:14:56To get out of town?
01:14:57Where was he going?
01:14:57He called the airport from my joint.
01:15:00Something about hiring a plane to get to Mexico.
01:15:03To Mexico?
01:15:03Well, where's the phone?
01:15:04Over there.
01:15:06He gave me a thousand bucks for his bail.
01:15:10I figured he would run away from something more than a traffic rap.
01:15:13You know, I want to thank you, boys, for what you're doing.
01:15:15I want you to know you're helping an innocent man.
01:15:17What's that got to do with it?
01:15:23Well, nothing.
01:15:24So long, fellas.
01:15:27Yes, that's right, Steve.
01:15:28It's a plane chartered from Mexico, and it's due to leave any minute,
01:15:30and you've got to keep it from taking off.
01:15:32Why?
01:15:33What happened?
01:15:34Well, we're on our way right now.
01:15:35Okay.
01:15:38Dixon.
01:15:39Yeah?
01:15:41You flying that plane to Mexico City?
01:15:43Yeah, why?
01:15:44Well, I'll tell you.
01:15:50Why are we going this way?
01:15:51Well, this is a shortcut to the airport.
01:15:54Wait a minute.
01:15:55What if we're after the wrong guy?
01:15:57I mean, how can we be sure that Lomack is there?
01:15:59Well, we won't know until you see him.
01:16:02Hey, where's the plane?
01:16:17It's that Cessna right across from the hangar.
01:16:18It's all revved up and ready to take off.
01:16:20What about the passenger?
01:16:21Well, he hasn't shown up yet.
01:16:22Where's the pilot?
01:16:23Well, he's sort of taken care of.
01:16:24He's waiting on a long-distance call.
01:16:26Come on.
01:16:26Come on.
01:16:27Come on.
01:16:30What's that?
01:16:30Anybody here?
01:16:45I guess we beat him, huh?
01:16:46Well, so far, so.
01:16:48Is there some way that we can signal somebody?
01:16:51Oh, I don't know about that.
01:16:53Hey, you better duck.
01:16:55Abby, duck.
01:16:56I chartered a plane for Mexico City.
01:17:03Is this it?
01:17:04Yeah, you're the guy I'm waiting for.
01:17:06Lock the door and I'll take care of you.
01:17:12Castle, what's going on here?
01:17:15You get up there and fly this crate.
01:17:16I'm not a pilot.
01:17:17I never flew a plane in my life.
01:17:19Look, pilot, I'm expecting you to fly me to Mexico.
01:17:22Now get going.
01:17:23Sister, what are you doing here?
01:17:24Get up on your feet.

01:17:47Tower of pilot Cessna C-706.
01:17:49Are you having trouble?
01:17:50Am I having trouble?
01:17:52Oh, no.
01:17:53Oh.
01:17:54Oh.
01:17:54Oh.
01:17:55Ben, Ben, Ben, no.
01:17:58When do I go?
01:17:58Where's my double?
01:17:59I can't fight without a double.
01:18:04Ben, I don't know how to fight it.
01:18:06I didn't read the instructions.
01:18:09AJ, I got him.
01:18:14Get your tail down.
01:18:16Get your tail down.

01:18:30This is what I'm trying to do!
01:18:36That's what I'm trying to do!
01:19:04Kip!
01:19:06Oh, Ben!
01:19:06You all right, A.J.?
01:19:07Yeah, I'm all right.
01:19:08He got away!
01:19:28Which way did he go?
01:19:29I don't know.
01:19:30Oh, Ben, you're not going to start showing off now.
01:19:33Well, I've got to do something.
01:19:34Just remember how I captured Billy the Kid
01:19:36and, uh, Billy the Kid is captured?
01:19:38Huh?
01:19:39You be careful.
01:19:51Ben, look out!
01:19:53Look out for that gun!
01:19:54Oh, Ben!

01:20:01Hey!
01:20:02It worked!
01:20:04Okay, boys, take him away.
01:20:08Mighty brave thing you did, Ben.
01:20:10If I could, just one more now, the hero and his wife.
01:20:12Take like I congratulated him, Mr. Castle.
01:20:15You really were brave, Ben.
01:20:17Here, Ben, put on your hat.
01:20:18Is that better?
01:20:24Mm-hmm.
01:20:25I want to know one thing.
01:20:26What?
01:20:27Do you really like strawberries and pickles?
01:20:29I could learn, too.
