00:00The
00:30You know, sis, I think we're gonna like it out here.
01:00Get out of this western life.
01:02I hope so, Jack.
01:06At any rate, it'll be better than what we left back east.
01:30All right, folks.
01:37This is a stick-up.
01:39Everybody out but the young lady.
01:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:51All right, driver.
01:52Come down from there.
01:53All right, gents.
02:00Unload your cash and family jewels.
02:09I can use that.
02:10Drop it in the hat.
02:11All right, let's go.
02:42You know, Bill, Tomein Pete, I'm hungry.
02:47I could devour an ox all by myself.
02:51I'm sorry I came along.
02:54Nobody asked you along, and we don't eat until we get to that rodeo and win.
02:59Win, did you say?
03:01Why, Tomein Pete is supreme.
03:04Unchallenge the greatest of them all.
03:07I think you're a lot of bull.
03:10Are you telling me?
03:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:22Hey, that looks like a runaway.
03:24It is a runaway.
03:26It is a runaway.
03:26It is a runaway.
03:26It is a runaway.
03:31Get in there.
03:31You know, it looks like you're still good.
03:31Hey, boy.
03:32Hey, or...
03:39...
03:40...
03:40...
03:41Let's go.
04:11Let's go.
04:41Let's go.
05:11You sure had a narrow escape that time.
05:14I'll say I did.
05:15Let's go.
05:22Say, I'm glad I was there when that stage rivaled by.
05:31Now tell me some more about this hold-up.
05:34There's nothing more to tell other than the bandit seemed very nervous and kept a long black cape drawn up around his eyes.
05:41Say, I'll bet that's the Phantom Bandit.
05:46And you know, there's a thousand dollars reward for him, dead or alive.
05:50Well, I guess we'd better take the stage back and pick up those stranded passengers.
06:03I think so, too.
06:04I'm worried about my brother.
06:07That's right.
06:08By the way, Bill Collins is my name.
06:11And yours?
06:12Ruth Rogers.
06:13How do you do, Miss Rogers?
06:14How do you do?
06:15I'm glad to know you.
06:16But where are you going?
06:17Well, my brother Jack and I are bound for Canyon City.
06:20I'm going to teach school there.
06:22You teach school?
06:23Why, silly, of course.
06:26Well, fine.
06:27That's my sidekick over there.
06:36Notice how suspicious he looks?
06:38He does look suspicious, doesn't he?
06:46Yes, he's a true reflection of strength and character.
06:49I want you to meet him.
06:51All right.
06:51Miss Rogers, I want you to meet the one and only Tomeyne Pete.
06:58Why, how do you do?
06:59I'm glad to know you.
07:02Tomeyne, I'll tie the horses to the back of the stagecoach here, and you get up in the driver's seat.
07:07We're going back to this hold-up seat.
07:12Hold-up?
07:13Did he say hold-up?
07:15Yes.
07:16Where are the bandits?
07:17Why, Tomeyne Pete is the greatest bowler thrower.
07:23I mean, the br-br-br-bronco buster.
07:25Ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:26My mistake.
07:27Why, I bust them wide open.
07:31I am the greatest in this world.
07:34I bust them wide open.
07:36You do?
07:37Phantom bandits of Black Cape.
07:40Ha, ha.
07:41Tomeyne annihilates someone.
07:44Oh, annihilate up there.
07:45Well, what do you mean annihilate up there?
07:46I must tell the woman who I am, you know.
07:49Well, wait a minute there.
07:50How do you expect me to get up here if I'm getting thrown all over the place?
07:54Where do you expect to go?
07:56Bill, did you ever see such a beautiful girl before?
08:01Only once.
08:02Where?
08:03Arizona.
08:04Ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:05That's quite a long way from here.
08:06Say, Bill, look, Aquapura.
08:19The last one in is the heel.
08:22Not a bad idea, Tomeyne.
08:24Let's go, boy.
08:25Ha, ha, ha.
08:26Be nice and cool in there, kid.
08:27Oh, boy, for those swim in the blindy.
08:32Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:39Go to bathe the lily-white form in the Aquapura.
08:42Ha, let's go.
08:43Just a minute till I try out the water.
08:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
09:13Get your clothes on.
09:23It's too cold.
09:27Look, Bill.
09:36The Phantom Bandits.
09:38And our clothes.
09:39Hey, you.
09:40Hey, come back with those clothes.
09:43Look.
09:46Hey, bring back those clothes.
09:51Well, looks like we're in for it.
09:53You would have your swim.
09:55Go ahead.
09:56Go ahead.
09:56Blame me.
09:57Blame me.
09:58Go on.
09:59Come on.
09:59Let's start hoofing it.
10:05Well, it's going to be much healthier hoofing, I'll tell you that much.
10:09Well, any old port in the storm, you know.
10:11And it isn't my pride that's hurting me.
10:13Oh, stop grumbling.
10:15Come on.
10:15This is much healthier.
10:17Hey.
10:17Hey.
10:38It's bug board.
10:39Oh, that will be ducky-wucky.
10:52It's a woman driver, too.
10:55I hope not too far, us and our BBDs.
10:58Behind the bush.
10:59All right, let's go.
11:07Hey, baby!
11:10Will you give us a lift into town?
11:12Sure, hop on the back.
11:16Oh, no!
11:17No!
11:33Back on our own resources again.
11:40Are you telling me?
12:01Oh, if I could only rest my poor 18 feet.
12:06Oh, stop squawking.
12:10At last!
12:36Pardon us, uh, does miss, uh, uh,
12:40uh, Rogers live here?
12:42I, I didn't quite get you.
12:45Pardon us, does, uh, miss, uh, live here?
12:48You'll pardon me, I didn't get you very well.
12:52Pog does, stranger, but we can smell bacon sizzling!
12:56How about a handout?
13:01Oh, yes, yes, I get you.
13:03Tain't much, but I'll share it with you.
13:08Well, come on in.
13:10Yes, but you must lead the way.
13:13Come on in.
13:28Me here?
13:29Yeah, why not?
13:30I'll never sit with my back to the door.
13:34Oh, that, that's right.
13:35Sit down there, then.
13:39Well, let's have it.
13:43Hey.
13:44A few monkeys want to eat.
13:45Come on over here and set the table.
13:46All right, we're all ready.
14:08We're all ready.
15:08We're right in the lion's den.
15:15And a thousand dollars for his capture.
15:18Shh.
15:24All right.
15:25Come on and get it.
15:27Hey.
15:28All right, Tomane.
15:30I'm the guest.
15:31Oh, is that so?
15:33All right.
15:34Yes.
15:38As a rule, when I'm eating, I generally go mad.
15:58Let me go.
16:28Let me go.
16:36Pretty hot out today.
16:39Boy, I'll say it is.
16:41Nice day for a swim, too.
16:45Headed for Canyon City?
16:46Well, yes.
16:50Providing you'll return our clothes to us.
16:53And our...
16:55Well, the joke's on me.
16:59We'll go into that later.
17:01But I'll tell you, providing one thing.
17:06Meaning what?
17:07Strictly business.
17:10Strictly business.
17:13Strictly business.
18:53You see, we are exact doubles, like two peas in a pod.
18:59Yeah, so I see.
19:02Very well, then.
19:07As you no doubt surmise, I'm the Phantom Bandit, sometimes known as the Mask Rider, White Outlaw, a few other pet names.
19:17They're all one and the same, but a price on my head of $1,000 cash, dead or alive.
19:26Is it okay to talk private in front of your pal there?
19:37Well, any proposition you have to offer must include my pal here.
19:41I'm an honest prospector by profession.
19:44The other is merely a sideline with a purpose.
19:48You two look to me as though you were merely romancing, bucking rodeos and picking up whatever you can here and there.
19:55As we are exact doubles, as we look like twins.
20:05I can use your services.
20:08I can pay you well.
20:09In the town of Canyon City, I am known to practically everybody as an honest prospector, Jim Russell, with a rich claim back in the hill.
20:17During the past 30 days, I've been watched and trailed by a gang of killing claim jumpers.
20:22And for that reason, I postponed my weekly trips to the mine, grew this beard, and resorted to the phantom gang.
20:30The one I fear most is Buck Houston, part of the Eldorado Saloon, who will stop at nothing to gain his own ends.
20:37You will spend four days and nights circulating the best you can.
20:41Sunday noon, I'll meet you here and settle my obligation.
20:45You will never regret it.
20:46It sounds interesting and worth looking into, I guess.
20:52Do they know you with or without the whiskers?
20:58Smooth shade, without the whiskers.
21:02Thank you for it there.
21:22If it's agreeable, I'll get you an outfit like mine and you can start tomorrow.
21:28Okay.
21:29You can, uh, keep that lighter as a token of our new friendship.
21:33Thanks.
21:33Thanks.
21:57Oh, here!
21:59Get it out, cowboy!
22:01Hey!
22:03Stop that, dear, Josh!
22:05You're a liquor!
22:07Oh, here!
22:13Howdy, Hank!
22:15A little liquor.
22:17Well, you're good.
22:19A little liquor.
22:21Well, you're good.
22:23Well, you're good.
22:25Well, you beat it?
22:27Ah, that's amusement.
22:35Oh, there!
22:37Oh, there!
22:39Come on, boy!
22:49Oh, he didn't know!
22:51But he thought he was going to kill him.
22:53And look!
22:55Thank you!
23:01There's a bunch of killers in here.
23:03They kill on savage.
23:05Oh, don't let that worry you.
23:07Why, they're all afraid of me!
23:09Oh! Well, I need protection.
23:11I'm just sixteen.
23:13What a memory you must have!
23:15Well, quite heavens, I'm through dancing with that clumsy bull thrower.
23:23Who, the one with the big hoofs?
23:25Yeah, he thinks I'm a Texas deer.
23:27No, just a little cow deer.
23:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
23:31Is that what you think of me?
23:33Do you really want to know what I do think of you?
23:35I think, yes.
23:37Well, I think, yes.
23:39Well, I think you're the sweetest girl I ever met.
23:41And you dance marvellously.
23:43And that you can't live without me.
23:45Exactly.
23:47Well, dearie, I've changed my mind.
23:49I'm going to dance with you all evening.
23:51I won't last that long.
23:53Why don't you try to hogtie one of the other girls?
23:55I'll try to hug you and hug you and hug you.
23:57I'll try to hug you.
23:59I'll try to hug you and hug you.
24:00I'll try to hug you and hug you.
24:01Yes.
24:02Well, I think, yes.
24:03Well, I think you're the sweetest girl I ever met.
24:06You dance marvellously.
24:07And that you can't live without me.
24:08Well, dearie, I've changed my mind.
24:10I'm going to dance with you all evening.
24:12I won't last that long.
24:14Why don't you try to hogtie one of the other girls?
24:19You must be on your vacation.
24:25I've seen you around for the last four days.
24:29Yes, it is good to be away from work for a few days.
24:32And instead of resting, you spend it dancing with me.
24:34Without even a thought of how tired you must be.
24:39We're paid to dance, you know.
24:43Yes, I know.
24:44The old school teacher gag has been pulled on you,
24:47just like a lot of other girls.
24:48And that makes me more determined than ever to...
24:59Buck Houston sure has been keeping his eye on me for the last four days.
25:03Oh, he's just jealous.
25:05He hates to see me talk to anybody but himself.
25:10No, that isn't it, Ruth.
25:12It's something else.
25:13I'll take you at the rancho.
25:23All right, but be sure you have everything fixed.
25:25Don't worry.
25:30You got everything set, Hank?
25:32I'll pick up the rest of the boys a little after midnight.
25:35Say, I was thinking it'd be a good idea.
25:36Well, never mind your ideas.
25:40Oh, I was just thinking.
25:42Who asked you to think?
25:43Yes, all you've got to do is to open that combination for us.
25:46Now, do you get it?
25:47Oh, ain't I got something to say?
25:49Listen.
25:50You're going to do what we say,
25:52I'm going to smack you in the nose.
25:53Do you get it?
25:55Okay.
25:56Now, you fellas got your horses
25:57and know exactly what to do, don't you?
25:59Yeah.
26:00Match?
26:02No, I haven't.
26:03Use my lighter.
26:08From Ruth to Jack.
26:18Why don't you get yourself a box of matches?
26:21Here, here, here.
26:23Cut that out.
26:24Cut it out.
26:25Now, get out of here.
26:29Never did get the light.
26:59I...
27:00I must go.
27:13Quit stalling.
27:40You've been sitting around here all night.
27:43But I just had to rest.
27:45Yeah?
27:46So I noticed.
27:47You've been hanging around that prospector all evening.
27:50But he's only been here a few days.
27:52Yeah?
27:53I noticed he's only been here a few days.
27:56That's why we give the regulars a break.
27:58Now, go ahead and grab yourself a cash customer.
28:01But I...
28:02I...
28:03Oh...
28:04So they're not in your class, eh?
28:08Now get busy before I forget that you're a woman.
28:11Now, just a minute, Hank.
28:13Miss Rogers can dance with whoever she wishes to.
28:17Why, certainly.
28:26Thank you, Mr. Houston.
28:30Don't start anything, Bill, or you'll ruin all our plans.
28:34Beat it.
28:34You're welcome.
28:43Come on.
28:45I haven't seen you since last night.
28:56Russell.
28:58You're not late?
28:59Are you?
28:59Yeah, for a little while.
29:02By the way, Jack,
29:03don't forget what I told you about.
29:12I told you that I really am grateful
29:14for what you've done for Jack and me.
29:17Well, why don't you let me do more for you?
29:20Why don't you let me give you everything in life
29:22that is really worthwhile?
29:24What do you consider worthwhile?
29:26Well, my love for one thing
29:30and everything that goes with it.
29:33Well, let's not go into that again.
29:36I'm quite happy as I am.
29:38And I really love dancing.
29:41You'll excuse me, please.
29:43Say what's Houston but sand to you.
30:03Save all mine, huh?
30:07Be careful, sis.
30:08You're doing fine, Hank.
30:25Just keep riding her.
30:28Why, I'm always at your service.
30:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:39What's up, man?
30:40Come on, let's get down.
30:44Let me alone.
30:45Come on, get busy.
31:03I can't go on.
31:05I'm sick and I'm not used to this sort of work.
31:08You heard me.
31:09Get on that floor.
31:11Sis, say what's going on here?
31:14She can't leave a partner
31:16in the middle of the dance floor.
31:18Oh, yeah?
31:19She's all in it.
31:20She's going home.
31:22She does.
31:22She loses her job.
31:24Oh, yeah?
31:40Come in.
31:40Come in.
31:44A little mountain dew, Ruthie?
31:50No, no, thanks.
31:52I came to see you about my brother.
31:56It's a pleasure to set my hungry eyes on you again, Ruth.
32:01Really, Mr. Houston.
32:03I'm worried about him.
32:05Well, why?
32:06Well, something he said to me about an hour ago.
32:11About these henchmen of yours.
32:14Oh, that they might lead him astray?
32:18I realize that he's a grown man.
32:22But this is no place for him.
32:25Or me either, for that matter.
32:26So, he slipped out on you again tonight.
32:32I've offered you a way to save that Noah Kahn brother of yours.
32:36And the offer still stands.
32:40Well, I'm tired of this racket, too.
32:44Why don't you be sensible, my dear?
32:49Please.
32:49Please.
32:50Please.
32:50And they're at the ranch now.
33:06Go and get them.
33:09Thanks for the tip-off.
33:10Thanks for the tip-off.
33:11Somebody's beat us to the loot.
33:34Maybe that foreman Mason or Jack Rogers has double-crossed us.
33:41It wasn't the foreman.
33:53Well, I must be going.
33:55Yeah, but you'll think over what I said?
34:00It's no use.
34:02Jack and I will get along.
34:03Why, you little fool.
34:05Hello.
34:21What?
34:23In the safe, it was stripped clean.
34:25Do you know who did it?
34:27Sure.
34:29We know who it was.
34:31Why, the dirty thief beat us to it.
34:33Sounds like the posse's coming.
34:40Come on, get to the horses.
34:48Well, your sweet brother just pulled a nice one.
34:52What do you mean?
34:53He overheard the gang talking about that rancho robbery.
35:03Pretended to be with us.
35:05Then he pulled off the job himself and tipped off the sheriff.
35:08I don't believe he would do such a thing.
35:09No?
35:10Well, if he's double-crossed us, you know what that means.
35:13You're just trying to frighten me.
35:15Oh, you think so, eh?
35:18And I tell you, he went to the sheriff.
35:20I never did like him from the minute he rode into town.
35:23I told you that.
35:25And you wait till he shows his face.
35:27Well, are you sure the sheriff didn't double back on your trail?
35:31I don't think so.
35:34Oh.
35:36Hello, Rogers.
35:39Hello.
35:40Hello.
35:40Hello.
35:40Hello.
35:47Good, uh, I borrow your lighter, Jack.
35:55Sure.
36:05Is this it?
36:06Yeah.
36:08Where did you lose it?
36:10I don't know.
36:12You, uh, didn't happen to drop it in front of the safe at, uh, Rancho, did you?
36:17Why, no.
36:19Where is the stuff?
36:21Why, I haven't got it.
36:23Ah, come clean.
36:24What did you do with it?
36:25Why, Ruth, what are you doing up so late?
36:27Bill.
36:28Oh, I'm so glad you're here, Bill.
36:30My brother's in another jam.
36:33Ah, cut out the bluff.
36:35This isn't getting us anyplace.
36:36Tell me what you did with the stuff or I'll break your neck.
36:39What'd you do with it?
36:40I tell you, I don't know.
36:42You don't know, huh?
36:47Don't worry.
36:55I will protect you.
37:05I'm going to get in that fight.
37:07You watch me annihilate them.
37:09Now watch me.
37:10Let's go.
37:35Let's go.
37:36Come on, come on, cut a big cap.
38:06What a nice mess for the corner.
38:31Oh, I do hope Bill got away safely.
38:47Oh, he got away all right.
38:50But what I'm worried about is how are you and I going to get out of here?
38:55So am I.
38:57The fellows out there will never let us go.
39:03Say, you know where I might find Miss Rogers or her brother Jack?
39:07If I did know, I wouldn't tell you.
39:11Much obliged, buddy, for your information.
39:16I'm so glad you're safe, Bill.
39:23I've been after Houston and his gang, but at daybreak, I lost their trail.
39:27I guess the sheriff is after him now.
39:29I saw him right out with his posse this morning.
39:32You two come up to the cabin with me.
39:34You'll be safer there.
39:36But Bill, those men out there.
39:39Well, we can try anyway.
39:41What do you say?
39:42All right, Bill.
39:44Now you two stand back at me.
39:47Come on.
40:09I know everything that happened, but did you get the guy that got ahead of you at the safe?
40:14Did we get him?
40:15If he's still alive, he's lucky.
40:18I suppose you turn him over to the sheriff to get that thousand dollars reward.
40:24Say, what are you talking about?
40:26Well, the reward for the phantom.
40:27That's the guy you caught, isn't it?
40:39Let's go look no further for him.
40:58I figure he's done for.
41:00I guess you're right, Dick.
41:02But I'd like to collect that reward.
41:04Or get ahold of that ranch old loot.
41:06There's Ruth now.
41:08Here's your big chance.
41:23It's Houston.
41:25You two ride to the cabin and I'll hold these guys off.
41:29Hurry up.
41:38Move aside.
41:39Make some applause
41:44Move out.
41:49Move away.
41:51Move away.
41:52Look.
41:53I defy you.
41:55You, all you batterη.
41:57Move away.
41:58Move yourself.
41:59Move away.
42:00Move away.
42:00Move away.
42:01Move away.
42:02Move away.
42:03I defy you.
42:05I defy you, all you bandits and evildoers!
42:10I, Tobain Peek, the terror of the Rockies!
42:16I tell you, one and all, crime doesn't pay!
42:23Down with the liquor!
42:27Down!
42:30I hear hoofbeats approaching on a horseback!
42:49Courage, Tobain! Courage!
43:00Hello, Bill! What happened, Bill?
43:05You did!
43:14You did!
43:15Good!
43:17Good job, Bill!
43:22Bill! Bill! What happened? Are you hurt?
43:52Say, are you Bill or are you the Phantom? Speak to me, Bill or Phantom? I'm lost. I don't know which is which.
44:22I don't know which.
44:50Bill! Now do you feel better? Come in!
45:09I don't know which is which. I'm lost.
45:17Bill! Bill, what happened? Are you hurt? Oh, Bill!
45:28Don't take it so hard. You'll be all right.
45:36What happened, Domain? Oh, he rode in dragging from his saddle. I helped him in and he hasn't said a word since.
45:57Why, Bill! Bill, I'm glad you're here. Don't worry, Ruth. It's me. I'm not a ghost.
46:12Bill, I'm hit hard. I guess it's my time to cash in this time.
46:20I wouldn't say that, Jim. We'll get a doctor for you.
46:27No, Bill. Stay right here. I know this is curtains for me, but I want to tell you something before I go.
46:33It was me that busted the Rancho's safe this morning. It was Buck Houston that got me.
46:46And Bill to find the money right under the bed.
46:49But how about Jack Rogers' lighter they found in front of the safe?
46:52I stole it from his room early this morning before I tackled the Rancho's safe.
46:59But why implicate Jack? It was the only way I could even score is with Houston.
47:05While up at my mine, I uncovered another rich vein. Pure wire gold. And I want you to have it, Bill.
47:12It will be a wedding present for you and the girl.
47:31You boys remain here. I'll trail Houston and see what he's up to.
47:37All I want now, before I die, is to get Buck Houston and take him along with me.
47:59Come on, stick him up.
48:03Get over there. Get over there!
48:07Come on down here, you two.
48:22You thought you had me fooled, didn't you?
48:37What's going on here?
48:46Why, this is Buck Houston.
48:49You're right, Sheriff.
48:51Well, who's that?
48:53That's the Phantom.
48:54He and Houston had a long-standing feud. I guess they fought it out for the last time.
49:08It looks that way.
49:11Just a minute, Sheriff. I have something for you.
49:13And here's the money the Phantom took from the Rancho Safe.
49:24I guess that clears up everything, doesn't it?
49:26Anyway, it'll save the county a lot of expense and time for another trial.
49:42Besides, you've got a thousand dollars coming to you for finding the Phantom.
49:45I guess we could use that thousand dollars.
49:48I guess we could use that thousand dollars.
49:50you
49:55I guess we could use it for the Phantom.
49:57I guess we could use it.
49:58It's three and four hundred thousand dollars.
50:00That's $2,000.
