00:00Here he comes, here he comes, then the trumpets, then the drums, here he comes.
00:10Hop along Cassidy, here he comes.
00:30Hop along Cassidy.
01:00Hop along Cassidy.
01:30I don't see why we have to go riding clear across two states just because the old foffle got himself elected town marshal.
01:58Well, you can turn back if you want, but personally I've been wanting to see the old cuss ever since he left the bar 20.
02:06Well, I hate to admit it. Just so by.
02:10I'll go ahead and keep moving then. We'll never have a better excuse to pay him a visit.
02:14All right. Get your hands up. Quick. All of you. Come on, you hear me.
02:25All right, old timer. Get their guns. From now on, this town is going to be a decent place for folks to live in.
02:34And then Hoppy herds them all off to jail. And that was the end of the Lost Hills Gang at Macy Grandin.
02:42Gee, Mr. Windy. All those men. And wasn't Hoppy wounded or anything?
02:46Wounded? Why, them pesky cow thieves didn't even get a chance to get their guns working. Hoppy was too fast for them.
02:53Well, besides, wasn't I there to back him up?
02:57Gosh. Mr. Castey must be able to do just about everything better than anybody else.
03:02Well, if he can't, I've sure wasted a lot of time learning him how to do things.
03:07Come on, Mr. Windy. Tell me some more.
03:10Well, now, let's see.
03:12Oh, then. I remember once when Hoppy was marshal down at, uh...
03:17Loose up, Mr. Windy?
03:19You ain't seen anything in my marshal's badge, have you?
03:21Ought to be around here summers.
03:23It'd be terrible if you lost it, wouldn't it?
03:26You'd turn tootin'. It'd be a katash... a kat... it'd be awful.
03:31What a tonnation is that in hell.
03:35Look! Hoppy's got it!
03:37Oh, what?
03:42Just like his namesake, always spotting something nobody else can't see.
03:46Joey, it's time we headed back for the ranch.
03:50Aw, Ma, I don't want to go yet.
03:52Mr. Windy's tellin' me some more about Hopalong Cassidy.
03:55Haven't you heard enough about this Jack, the giant killer, for one day?
03:59What am I going to do with this little man, Windy?
04:01You filled his head so full of stories about this Cassidy
04:03that I can't get him to think or talk about anything else.
04:06Well, Mrs. Joyce,
04:08Joey never does nothin' worse than pattern after Hopalong Cassidy.
04:13He'll be all right.
04:14Why, Hoppy's the whitest, gamest, squarest...
04:18Ridin'est, fightin'est, shootin'est.
04:20Yes, I know, Windy.
04:21Joey's told me all about it a dozen times.
04:24Well, it's the truth.
04:25Have a word of it.
04:27I wouldn't be surprised if Hoppy'd be paying me a little visit.
04:31Soon as he find out I've been elected marshal of this here town...
04:35I've seen you see...
04:35Let me go.
04:35Let me go.
04:37Don't let him go.
04:38Let him go.
04:38Here he is.
04:39In the dark, Sam.
04:40He won't be beaten.
04:41He won't be beaten.
04:42Never
05:00I won't be beaten.
05:00Stephen, he won't be beaten.

09:23Bob, I thought you were...
09:38Yeah, I'm surprised to see your husband, huh?
09:40Well, it saved me asking a lot of unnecessary questions.
09:43I broke out of jail four days ago.
09:45You had no right to come here.
09:47Joey thinks you're dead.
09:48Oh, yes, I heard all about that pretty little fairy tale.
09:51So, Smokey Jocelyn, brave and fine, died serving his country.
09:58I had to lie to him.
09:59And you're not going to come back and spoil everything now.
10:01Whether or not I spoil things depends on you.
10:05Sit down. I want to have a little talk with you.
10:09So, Mrs. Bob Jocelyn turns out to be the widow Joyce.
10:14A brave little lady came out and homesteaded a piece of ground
10:17and built it into a prosperous ranch for her son.
10:21I heard all about it.
10:23What do you intend to do about it?
10:24Oh, I don't know.
10:25I think I'll stay around here for a few days
10:27and just sort of get my bearings.
10:29If it's money you want, I'm cattle poor,
10:31but I have a few dollars.
10:32I'm not interested in a few dollars.
10:34I said I was going to stay here for a while.
10:36Don't touch that gun.
10:39You might as well get smart to yourself right now.
10:42You're not going to turn me in.
10:43You can't.
10:44Unless you want to do a lot of explaining to that kid.
10:48I thought that would get you.
10:50Now listen to me.
10:51I want you to dig me up some clothes.
10:53I can't wear these around here.
10:55But I haven't anything to give you, Bob.
10:57The only clothes I have are some things that belong to my brother, Dan.
11:01They'll do.
11:02Nobody around here knows that he's been killed, do they?
11:04No.
11:05All right.
11:06If anybody asks you who I am,
11:07I'm your brother, Dan Bennett.
11:10Get the clothes.
11:11You stay there, Joy.
11:17I'll be right back.
11:18All right, Mother.
11:23Get a couple of drinks to wash the dust down our throats,
11:26and you can tip off Johnson when we're here.
11:29Just as you say, Bailey.
11:32Me and Haskins will round up some of the boys
11:34and find a place to hang out until Johnson's ready for us.
11:37Bobby, come back here!
11:38Get out of here!
11:41Get out of here, you little mutt!
11:45Quit killing my dog, you...
11:47Don't do that!
11:54Where I come from,
11:55men don't go around slapping little boys.
11:58Let them go.
12:00I didn't mean any harm, mister.
12:03But of course, if you're asking for it...
12:06I'll get in with you for killing my dog.
12:14Get back to your wagon, Sonny.
12:17Come on.
12:18Yes, sir.
12:19Now get moving, all of you.
12:21You ain't seen the last of me yet, mister.
12:25Anytime you say.
12:27Thanks, mister.
12:35It's all right, son.
12:36You better keep that doggy or tie it up, though.
12:39I will.
12:41Well, it's doggone my height if it ain't Lucky Jenkins.
12:44Hiya, son.
12:45Hello, Whippy.
12:46Well, see, you sure have grown since I see you last.
12:50But you ain't a mite for you.
12:51Well, maybe so.
12:52But as long as I don't get to look like you,
12:54I've still got something to be thankful for.
12:55Hey, you better watch your step, young fella.
12:58You're talking to the town muscle of Cactus Springs.
13:01Don't you start putting on any errors with me
13:03just because you got that old tin badge.
13:05Don't you talk to me that way.
13:06I'll give you to understand that badge
13:08means something in this community.
13:09Oh, yeah?
13:10Yeah?
13:11Where's Huffy?
13:12He's across the street.
13:13He had a freighter with some of your tough citizens.
13:15At least they thought they were tough
13:16until he whipped them in the line.
13:18Oh, freighters, eh?
13:19Where are they?
13:20Show them to me.
13:21You're just like every other town marshal.
13:22You get to the trouble when the shooting's over.
13:27Uh-oh.
13:27He's in more trouble.
13:29That's a way to joy.
13:30I wonder what she's up to.
13:32It's a pretty state of affairs
13:33when decent citizens can't ride into town
13:35without being shot at by you would-be bad men.
13:39You mean me?
13:40Yes, you.
13:41I heard the shooting.
13:42Are you hurt, Joey?
13:43No, I'm all right.
13:44Well, I'm sorry that upset you,
13:46but you see, I...
13:46I don't see anything
13:47except that old people like you
13:48should be locked up.
13:50Halliday needn't brag to me
13:50about this town being cleaned up.
13:53And look at that.
13:54Look at my molasses.
13:55And look at this buckboard.
13:57Well, you're not going to get away with it,
13:59that's all.
14:00Put up your hands.
14:01Put them up, I say.
14:03You want them any higher?
14:03Now, don't try to be funny.
14:05Now, you're going to pay me for that molasses
14:06and the damage to this buckboard,
14:08or there'll be one less
14:09good-for-nothing bandit in this town.
14:10But Ma...
14:11Now, Sonny, don't get your Ma too irritated.
14:13She's a right dangerous woman,
14:15your Ma is.
14:15She sure is, mister.
14:17You better do what she says.
14:18Well, come on, pay up.
14:20It's probably the first time
14:22you've ever been made to pay
14:23for shooting in honest people.
14:24Well, come to think of it,
14:25I guess it is.
14:26How much do I owe you?
14:28That molasses cost 60 cents,
14:30if you've got that much.
14:32You'll find it right in that pocket.
14:34Can I hold this for you?
14:35Yes.
14:39Hey, I better go over there
14:40and tell the witty Joyce
14:41who Hoppy is.
14:42Look, he'll straighten it out
14:43for himself.
14:47Oh, keep your money.
14:48It's probably stolen anyway.
14:50Anything else I can do for you, ma'am?
14:51You just wait till I tell
14:52Marshal Halliday about this.
14:55Get up.
14:56Sometimes you have to untie them, ma'am.
14:58Oh, joy, Joyce,
14:59if you dare to laugh at that...
15:01that...
15:02get up.
15:11I don't like the looks of things, Lindy.
15:13What do you tell them about?
15:15Well, every woman that started out
15:16by fighting with Hoppy
15:17usually winds up
15:17by trying to hook him
15:18into getting married.
15:19Did you notice the way
15:20he smiled at her?
15:21Well, you're right, Lucky.
15:23You know, she gets smart enough
15:24and pretty enough
15:25to do it, too.
15:26If she ever set her mind to it.
15:28Wouldn't it be awful, Wendy,
15:29after all these years
15:30for Hoppy to get married?
15:32Awful?
15:33Why, it'd be a clown...
15:35a...
15:35it'd be terrible.
15:37Oh, you don't have to worry
15:38none about Hoppy.
15:39Ain't no woman
15:40going to hook him.
15:41Quiet, here he comes.
15:45Same old Hoppy.
15:47Doggone your height.
15:48In town two minutes
15:49looking for trouble.
15:51Why, say,
15:51I thought for a minute
15:52I'd have to go there
15:53and come to your rescue.
15:55Same old Wendy.
15:56Always ready
15:57and willing to back me up.
15:59You sure backed down
16:00when that lady lit into you.
16:02What'd you let her do it for?
16:03Well, you can't blame her
16:04for getting a little mad.
16:06Say, who is she?
16:07Oh, Widow woman
16:08named Joyce.
16:09Got a ranch
16:09over west of town.
16:11Spunky little cusp.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Kind of pretty, too,
16:14don't you think?
16:15No, I hadn't noticed.
16:16Huh?
16:16Say, she is
16:18kind of easy
16:19to look at.
16:20Well, I don't know.
16:21He's not ripe
16:22to get hooked.
16:23Not much.
16:25What are you
16:26talking about?
16:27We'll find out
16:28soon enough.
16:29Have you any idea
16:30what he's trying
16:31to say?
16:32What's going on
16:36here, anyhow?
16:37Will you get
16:38your nose out of here?
16:39Well, what is it?
16:40I got a surprise
16:41for you.
16:43You already want it?
16:45No.
16:45I bet you could use some.
16:47Oh, stop it, Lucky.
16:48Hold him
16:48and get that old
16:49musket off of him.
16:50What do you mean
16:50hold him off?
16:51What?
16:51Hey, hey,
16:52what are you doing here, Lucky?
16:53Hey, this is one time
16:55when you're not
16:55going to see or talk.
16:58Hold still, will you?
17:00All right,
17:01cut him loose.
17:02You ain't going
17:02to take my gun.
17:03I've had that gun
17:04for first.
17:08What is it?
17:09What is it?
17:10What are you
17:11mumbling about?
17:12What is it?
17:14It's a present
17:14for you
17:15from Lucky and me.
17:17Present?
17:19For me?
17:20Sure.
17:23Do you like it,
17:24old-timer?
17:26Like it?
17:28Slicker
17:29and a brook crowd.
17:30I'd like to be able
17:34to thank you,
17:35fella,
17:35but I don't know,
17:38for some reason
17:38or other,
17:39I, well,
17:40I just ain't got
17:41any words.
17:42If I fella
17:43would affect you
17:43like that all the time,
17:44I'd bring you
17:44a present every day.
17:46Well,
17:46that's one time
17:47I ain't going
17:47to argue with you,
17:48young whippersnapper.
17:50I suppose
17:52there are times
17:53when I
17:54talk too much.
17:58We don't care
17:59how much you talk.
18:00It sounds good
18:01to us to hear it again.
18:02Say,
18:03you got any good
18:04at ham and eggs
18:04in this part
18:05of the country?
18:05Ham and eggs?
18:06You're darn tootin'.
18:08Best in the West.
18:09Right this way,
18:10gentlemen.
18:10There he goes again.
18:12What are you
18:12taking it off for?
18:13I'm going to save this
18:14from a chimney shootin'.
18:16I'm going to put
18:17it right in here
18:17for safekeeping.
18:27Why don't you
18:28hang it out
18:28on the front porch?
18:33This is going to be
18:34one of the easiest
18:34jobs we ever tackle.
18:36There's over
18:37a thousand head
18:38of prime cattle
18:38on the Joyce ranch
18:39just aching
18:40to go across
18:41that border.
18:42Sounds all right.
18:44But it may not be
18:45as easy as you think.
18:47Not with this guy
18:47Cassidy in the neighborhood.
18:49Who's Cassidy?
18:50A two-fisted gunman.
18:51A friend of the marshal.
18:53Bailey here
18:53had a run-in
18:54with him this morning.
18:55Yeah, well,
18:56don't you worry
18:56a none about that guy.
18:58I'll make it a point
18:59to take care
19:00of him personally.
19:01When do we move?
19:03Just as soon
19:03as I hear from the buyers.
19:05That'd be,
19:05oh, I don't know,
19:06more than a couple of days.
19:07I already contacted them.
19:09That's fine.
19:13I thought you'd ought
19:14to know about it, marshal.
19:15One of our boys
19:16said he saw
19:17stiff-hat Bailey
19:18heading for the
19:18Blue Hills yesterday.
19:19Oh, you needn't
19:20worry none about him.
19:22You're too smart
19:23to start pulling
19:23jobs around here
19:24as long as I am, marshal.
19:26Oh, hello, hubby.
19:27Have a good night's rest?
19:28You better did.
19:29Hey, have you seen Lucky?
19:30Yeah, down at the loading pens
19:32to watch him
19:32road cattle.
19:33Just like a mailman
19:34taking a walk
19:35on his vacation.
19:37Oh, hubby,
19:38why don't you
19:38meet Slim Baker?
19:39Hop along, Cassidy.
19:40Howdy.
19:41Right glad I know you,
19:42Cassidy.
19:42Foreman over
19:43the Wiggy Joyce's ranch.
19:45Slim's a little
19:46might worried
19:46since he heard
19:47that stiff-hat Bailey's
19:48in the neighborhood.
19:49Who's he?
19:50He's the slickest
19:51cattle thief
19:52in the state.
19:53So smart
19:54that no one's been
19:54able to catch him
19:55with the goods.
19:56What worries me,
19:57we're a bit short-handed.
19:59And us with
19:59a thousand head
20:00of cattle
20:00rounded up
20:01almost ready
20:01to be shipped.
20:03Well, I don't want
20:04you to think
20:04I'm butting
20:04into your business, marshal,
20:06but if I can be
20:07of any help to you,
20:08I...
20:08Oh, shucks, hoppy.
20:09There ain't a cow
20:10been rustled
20:11in this neighborhood
20:11since I was made, marshal.
20:13Of course,
20:14it'll make you feel
20:14any easier.
20:16You can kind of
20:16help me keep an eye
20:17on the herd.
20:18You know,
20:18just in case.
20:19Well, that's mighty
20:20decent of you, marshal.
20:21Yeah.
20:22I'll go get lucky
20:23and we'll ride out
20:23and look over the situation.
20:25We're holding the herd
20:26down in the south pasture.
20:28Now, see you out there.
20:30So long, hubby.
20:31Bye.
20:31Bye.
20:31Yeah, sure do things
20:44the hard way
20:44in this part of the country.
20:46Get that first one started,
20:47the rest will follow.
20:48Here, I'll show you.
21:01Hey, Lucky.
21:04Come on,
21:04we're going for a little ride.
21:06I'll be with you
21:06as soon as I show these fellas
21:07how this job ought to be done.
21:09Well, if I couldn't see it
21:11with my own eyes,
21:12I'd never believe it.
21:13Lucky Jenkins
21:14actually doing some work
21:15without being hogtied
21:16and forced into it.
21:18Oh, yeah?
21:19Hello, mister.
21:21Hi, young fella.
21:29How are you the boy?
21:30I'm fine, thanks.
21:32But I didn't see you around
21:33and tell the kind of figure
21:34you'd be over here.
21:35Oh, I'm sure glad
21:36you come over to see me.
21:37I just want to thank you
21:38for what you did yesterday.
21:40Well, there's no thanks necessary.
21:42I know you've done
21:42as much for me.
21:43Well, anytime I can
21:44do something for you,
21:45just call on me.
21:46I'll be glad to do it.
21:49Now, you might do something
21:50for me at that.
21:52You might tell your mother
21:53that I'm not near as tough
21:55as she thinks I am.
21:56I already told her
21:56what you did
21:57to those three men,
21:58but she's still kind of mad.
21:59Women folks always
22:01get mad when they laugh
22:02at them, don't they?
22:05That's something
22:05for you to remember.
22:07Might save you
22:07a lot of trouble
22:08later on.
22:10Get away, Hoppy!
22:14What'd you call that dog?
22:15Hoppy?
22:16I named him after
22:17Hopalong Cassidy.
22:18Hopalong Cassidy?
22:20Yeah, you've heard of him,
22:21haven't you?
22:22No, I can't say
22:24that I have.
22:25What?
22:26Why, everybody's heard
22:27about Hopalong Cassidy.
22:30Well, come to think
22:31of it, I have heard
22:32of him someplace.
22:35How'd you happen
22:35to name your dog
22:36after Cassidy?
22:37Well, I wanted to give him
22:38a name he'd be proud of.
22:40Next to my dad,
22:41I guess Hopalong Cassidy's
22:42the greatest fella
22:43I ever heard of.
22:45You know, I'll bet
22:46Cassidy'd be awful happy
22:47if you knew you felt
22:48that way about him.
22:49Well, I do.
22:50Marshal Holliday says
22:51he's the best gunfighter
22:52in the whole world.
22:54He's fair and he's square.
22:55And always helping folks
22:56when somebody's picking on him.
22:58That's what I'm gonna try
22:59to be like when I grow up.
23:00That's a good idea, son.
23:02I mean the part about
23:03giving the other fella
23:04an even break.
23:05Always playing square
23:07and helping folks
23:07when they need you.
23:09You'll never go far wrong
23:10as long as you got
23:11ideas like that.
23:13Well, I gotta be moving.
23:14So long.
23:15See you later.
23:16And be careful up here.
23:17I will.
23:18Come on, Lucky.
23:24They're going
23:24getting too tough for you.
23:25Me and his bunch
23:26of critters I ever saw.
23:27Look at him.
23:29Well, maybe they know
23:29it's gonna be their last ride.
23:31That come pretty near
23:32being his last ride.
23:34He nearly fell in
23:34a while ago.
23:36If a man fell in there
23:38he wouldn't have
23:38one chance in a million
23:39coming out alive.
23:40I saw it happen once.
23:41So did I.
23:42I never want to see it again.
23:45Give me that fool.
23:47Come on.
23:48Get in here.
23:52Lucky.
23:52Lucky.
23:53iente good.
24:07Packed.
24:12Come on.
24:16Get in there.
24:16Get in there.
24:17Come on.
24:17Take.
24:17Get in there.
24:18Get Där smelly yardage away.
24:19Deputy, get the doctor.
24:30Doc's out in the country on a case and won't be back till tomorrow.
24:33I guess I'll have to do this job myself then.
24:35Get me your medicine cabinet.
24:37Joey, what's happened to him?
24:39Boy's leg is broken.
24:41Take it easy, son. This is gonna hurt a little.
24:44You leave him alone till the doctor gets here.
24:45Waiting for the doctor might be serious.
24:47Give me the scissors.
24:49I'd rather you'd wait for the doctor.
24:51Boy, he'll be all right.
24:53Give me a slide, Diane.
24:55Lucky, get something I can use for splints.
24:57You can't do this. He's my son.
24:59Well, I'm doing it. Now, please keep away.
25:01Marshal, Marshal, joy's hurting. This man won't wait for the doctor.
25:06Get a panel, daughter.
25:08Well, why don't you do something?
25:10Don't shoot, Marshal. I'll give up as soon as I finish this job.
25:15Young man, I ought to lock you up for fractured medicine
25:18without a license.
25:20Mrs. Joyce, I want you to meet Hopalong Cassidy.
25:23You don't have to worry none about him.
25:25He's a regular sir-gla...
25:27a sir-gla...
25:28Oh, he's a regular fella.
25:31Oh, for goodness sake, I...
25:32Oh, I'm sorry.
25:34You meet about the melasses?
25:35Oh, that was fun.
25:37Are you really Hopalong Cassidy?
25:39That's what they call me, son.
25:41Give me some cotton, Lucky.
25:42Lie down, Joy. You'll hurt yourself.
25:44You don't need to worry about me now, Mom.
25:46I'll be all right.
25:47There we go.
26:05Make it easy now.
26:08Wendy, you and Lucky report to Slim.
26:11I'll be out later.
26:12Try Topper over there.
26:13Well, my part of the deal's all set.
26:30How about you?
26:31Everything's all ready as far as I'm concerned.
26:33There'll be a cinch to take care of the herd guards
26:36and I've got a safe trail to the border all picked up.
26:38Well, that's fine.
26:39We can get away from here tomorrow night.
26:40Oh, Traynor, come here.
26:45Who's that?
26:47It's the Cactus Springs Marshal.
26:50Oh, yeah? Well, who's that with him?
26:51I don't know. Some stranger.
26:53I wonder if he has wind or something.
26:56Well, if he has, we'll close his little book right now, Harlett.
26:59Doing that will bring the whole neighborhood down on us
27:01before we're ready to move.
27:05When I get back to the ranch house,
27:06I'll find out from Mary if she heard anything about you in town this morning.
27:09Traynor can pass the word back.
27:26You can keep an eye on the ranch house from here.
27:28If I want you, I'll hang a rag in the tool shed window.
27:30I get it.
27:31We'd better get out and let him get some sleep.
27:42You think you'll be all right, Mr. Cassidy?
27:45Oh, sure.
27:46Young bones men very fast.
27:49And besides, he's not the kind that gives up easy.
27:51I can't tell you how grateful I am.
27:52I was glad to do what I could.
27:56You know, I kind of like that boy of yours.
27:59He kind of likes you, too, Huffy.
28:03I hope I never do anything to make him change his mind.
28:06I don't think you could.
28:07I'll ride by in the morning and see how he is.
28:28Um, this is my brother, Dan Bennett.
28:31Howdy, Bennett.
28:34My name is Hopalong Cassidy.
28:36How are you doing?
28:37Mr. Cassidy is a friend of the marshal's, Dan.
28:41My brother just returned from Mexico a few days ago.
28:48Is that so?
28:50That's my old stamping ground down there.
28:52Was you down there long?
28:56Oh, yes, for the past five years.
29:00Negoccio de ganano?
29:02You'll have to come again on that, mister.
29:04Don't you speak Spanish?
29:07I was never interested enough to learn the language.
29:10I just asked you what business you was in.
29:12Oh, did a little mining down around Santa Rosa.
29:16Yeah, it's great mining country.
29:19Great ranching country, too.
29:20A friend of mine owns the Gonzales Rancher down there.
29:24Did you ever hear of it?
29:25Of course.
29:26I know him well.
29:26As a matter of fact, I talked to him just the day before I left.
29:29That's funny.
29:31Gonzales has been dead over a year.
29:33His daughter's running the ranch.
29:35I may be referring to an entirely different Gonzales Ranch.
29:40Sure.
29:41Maybe you are.
29:42What have you been telling Cassidy?
29:44Nothing.
29:45I don't like your attitude, Cassidy.
29:46What right have you got to cross-examine me?
29:49I wasn't aiming to, but so long as you're getting so head up over nothing,
29:52I'll make you a bet you've never been in Mexico.
29:54You calling me a liar?
29:55I'm sure he isn't lying, Mr. Cassidy.
29:58I'm afraid you're wrong, Mary.
30:00He's already crossed himself up twice.
30:02And I just begin to wonder what he's doing wearing a dead man's clothes.
30:07What are you trying to say?
30:08Those are bullet holes.
30:12Whoever had them clothes on last was dead when they hit the ground.
30:15Just a minute.
30:16I'll take care of that little trinket.
30:21State property, huh?
30:24All right, Cassidy, you're holding the aces.
30:26What next?
30:27We'll just put you away for safekeeping till Mary's cattle are shipped.
30:32You know, there's some rustlers around,
30:33and you might get mixed up in some bad company.
30:36You aren't going to take him to jail.
30:38I don't like doing it, Mary, but looks like the only way out.
30:42Better for everybody.
30:44For him as well as for us.
30:45But you can't do that.
30:46He'll be recognized.
30:47He'll be sent back to prison.
30:48Shut up!
30:51I don't like to be inquisitive,
30:53but I don't like working in the dark either.
30:55Go ahead and talk, Mary.
30:57What's the answer to all this?
30:58Mother!
31:01Please.
31:01Please come outside.
31:02I'll be right back, Joy.
31:12Not far enough.
31:13If my boy finds out about all this now,
31:16it will destroy everything I've built up all these years.
31:19He'll lose his faith in everything.
31:20In everybody.
31:22Well, why should he?
31:24It's not the boy's fault that his uncle is a jailbird.
31:28He isn't my brother.
31:29He's Bob Joslin, my husband.
31:33Joy's father.
31:34And you've got to let him get away.
31:36I have no right to.
31:38Please.
31:39For Joy's sake.
31:45All right.
31:47If you keep your mouth shut to that boy,
31:49I'll give you a chance to get out of the country.
31:52You're the only man that ever gave me an even break, Cassidy.
31:55And why shouldn't I accept it?
31:57I'll leave when it gets dark.
31:59I'll give him enough money to get away.
32:00That's fine.
32:02Mother, will you come here a minute, please?
32:04Right away.
32:06You better see what he wants now.
32:07Come by in the morning, see how he is.
32:09I'll never forget what you've done for me, Mr. Cassidy.
32:12Neither will I.
32:13Forget what you've done for me.
32:16The only thing I expect of you
32:17is to keep your mouth shut to that boy.
32:18I'll never forget.
32:43Ah, gee ma, you don't need to baby me. I'll be all right.
33:09Of course you will, Joey.
33:11You know, Ma, a fella gets to do a lot of thinking when he's laid up this way.
33:16Yes? What's on your mind?
33:18Well, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be swell to have a fella like hopping around all the time?
33:23Well, it would be nice, Joey, but I hardly think we could get Mr. Cassidy to stay.
33:28Sure you can. You don't need to pay him anything.
33:31What do you mean?
33:32You could marry him.
33:34Oh, Joey, well, I couldn't do that.
33:37You like him, don't you?
33:38Why, of course I like him very much.
33:41Well, then, what's stopping you?
33:43I bet he'd marry you in a minute if you asked him to.
33:46Lots of women will jump at the chance.
33:48No, Joey. We'll just go on keeping Mr. Cassidy the best friend we've ever had.
33:53Now, you go on back to sleep for a while.
33:55Odd game.
33:56Yeah.
33:56No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:58No.
33:59No.
33:59No.
34:00No.
34:01No.
34:01No.
34:01No.
34:02No.
34:25Who are you and what are you doing here?
34:34I ain't mean to no harm, lady.
34:37But I just wanted to see if I could borrow some tools to fix my stuffs.
34:42Stay where you are.
34:45You better put that thing down. It might go off.
34:48It'll go off, all right, unless you tell me the truth.
34:50Who are you and what are you doing here?
34:52Well, you see, ma'am, it's this way.
34:55I was just going by.
34:57Nice work, Smokey. You still know how to think fast.
35:00Bob, he may be one of the rustlers.
35:02Now, ain't that just too bad.
35:03And no Cassidy here to help you.
35:05So Cassidy was right, after all.
35:07You are mixed up with Bailey's gang.
35:10Why, you're even rottener than I thought you were.
35:12I ain't interested in what you think of me.
35:15Come on.
35:16As Mr. Cassidy might say, it'll be safer for all concerned
35:19if you stay there until we get the cattle shipped.
35:22Cassidy's suspicious. I gotta tip Bailey off.
35:25We might have to take that herd tonight.
35:27Now, you stay here.
35:28If anybody happens by, you see that she doesn't have a chance to talk.
35:31Leave it to me.
35:36Let me out of here!
35:37You fellas want any more of this stew before I throw it out?
35:46No!
35:46I'll give some more coffee, Cookie.
35:48Coming right up, Chavar.
35:49Hey, where are them tracks you fellas saw this morning?
35:53Up on the ridge.
35:54I've got an idea there's Bailey or some of his men spying on us.
35:58Well, as soon as Hoppy gets back, we'll ride out and look around.
36:01If there's any funny business going on, I'll darn soon find it out.
36:06Yeah, well, Hoppy may be sometime getting out here.
36:09You know, I think I'll have a ride up on that ridge and have a look for myself.
36:13You?
36:14What do you expect to find?
36:16Why you couldn't find teeth in a comb?
36:19What do you know about teeth?
36:21Don't you get personal with me, young fella.
36:24You'll find out you're dealing with the law.
36:27Wendy, I apologize for offending your dignity.
36:30After all, teeth or no teeth, what difference does it make?
36:33You know, a marshal's supposed to shoot a criminal, not fight him.
36:37You're darn tootin'.
36:39I'll close your trap before I have to close it for you.
36:43I'd better get out of here before he loses his temper.
36:45How about me going along with you, kid?
36:47I know where the tracks are.
36:48You know, I've always wanted to see how you bar 20 men work.
36:51Sure, glad to have your company.
36:53Better keep an eye on him, Red.
36:55You know, he's just dumb enough to get you both lost.
36:59Well, if we do, we'll send for a real marshal to come out and find us.
37:03I don't know that we'd ought to let that kid go tramping off that way.
37:15Oh, don't you worry about it, Lucky.
37:17He's been out with me long enough to know how to do things right.
37:33Right here is where we saw the tracks.
37:42Well, there is easy to follow.
37:44It's a signboard.
37:45Let's track them a ways.
37:46All right.
37:47There he goes.
38:04Well, there he goes.
38:30He's got a bad one there.
38:50Shall I go back and get help, Mr. Cassidy?
38:52No, we'd better get him back to camp.
38:56I'll get this stopped here.
39:00Feeling better, Lucky?
39:01Well, I'm still seeing a few stars, but don't worry, Hoppy, I'll be all right.
39:06I'm afraid you're going to pull through, Hoppy.
39:08That'd make you mad, wouldn't it?
39:10Oh, stop it, both of you.
39:11You're liable to be late after a couple of weeks.
39:13I'm going to send you back to the ranch in the chuck wagon.
39:15No, you don't, Hoppy.
39:17You may need every gun you've got out here.
39:18I can still shoot.
39:20You heard what I said. You're going back to the ranch.
39:23But, Hoppy, I'll miss all the fun. Besides, you need me.
39:26By night, we'll have more men out here than we can use.
39:28Wendy's going into town after them now.
39:30Will you put your arg in?
39:32Come on, boys.
39:41All right, Cookie, get started.
39:42All right, Hoppy.
39:43See you later, Hoppy.
39:56All right, Wendy.
39:58Say, Slim, I want to take a look at that country over the other side of the herd there.
40:02We can figure out so each one of us can have a section for guard duty.
40:05All right, we'll go along with you.
40:07Fine.
40:07Come on, boys.
40:25How about giving Cassidy a little welcome, boys?
40:27Sure.
40:28Let's give him the stranger song.
40:29Hi, there, stranger.
40:33It's a mighty fine treat and a pleasure to meet you.
40:35Hi, there, stranger.
40:37Mighty proud to be here and a pleasure to greet you.
40:40These old wranglers extend a welcome hand.
40:44There's no danger.
40:46We're brothers of the land.
40:48You'll come right handy.
40:50We can share our grubs.
40:52Let our elbows rub from the Rio Grande of the Nome.
40:55Holy area, oh, we'll spread our bets where the wild coyotes roam.
41:01So, hi, there, stranger.
41:03You can call this camp your home.
41:05Well, hi, there, stranger.
41:08It's a mighty fine treat and a pleasure to meet you.
41:10Hi, there, stranger.
41:12Mighty proud to be here and a pleasure to greet you.
41:14This old wrangler extends a feeble hand.
41:19There's no danger.
41:21We're brothers of the land.
41:23You'll come right handy.
41:25We can share our grubs.
41:26Let our elbows rub from the Rio Grande of the Nome.
41:30Oh, the area, oh, we'll spread our bets where the wild coyotes roam.
41:36So, hi, there, stranger.
41:38You can call this camp your home.
41:43Well, if that's the way it stacks up, I'm for moving in on the herd right now.
41:53No, we'd better wait till it gets dark.
41:55Why should we?
41:56They've only got six or seven men guarding the whole herd.
41:59It'll be easy for us.
42:00Yeah, well, don't fool yourself about that casting, not being smart and fast.
42:04If I hadn't been for Mary and the kid, I'd be sweating on a one-horse jail right now.
42:08Well, all I want is one more chance at him.
42:11Yeah, you'll get that soon enough.
42:12Get the boys together, we'll ride back down to the ranch.
42:14Why don't we just stay here until it gets dark?
42:16It's a shorter ride to the range.
42:18It may be shorter, but not healthier.
42:20Cassidy might take a notion to go snooping around and coming this way with some of his men.
42:24Why take chances when you don't have to?
42:26Come on, let's go.
42:27Fred, Bill, come on, boys, mount up.
42:30Let's go.
43:00Mrs. Joyce!
43:09Mrs. Joyce ain't home.
43:11She went into town.
43:13Well, who are you?
43:14I just went to work for her this morning.
43:16She left me here to take care of the place.
43:18Sounds kind of fishy to me.
43:20I don't like that fellow's looks.
43:24Watch out, Cookie.
43:24That's one of the men Hoppy Tango live in town.
43:27There's something wrong here.
43:28I'll soon find out.
43:30Stay right where you are, mister.
43:31We want to find out a few things.
43:54Lucky, are you all right?
43:55Sure, I'm all right, but what's it all about?
43:57I'll tell you as soon as I get joy.
43:58We've got to get out of here.
44:14Hang on tight, Joy.
44:15Hey, what are you doing?
44:16I will.
44:16Why, do you?
44:19Yeah.
44:25Ah!
44:27Ah!
44:31um
44:31What's happened, Tex?
44:48The Joyce woman, in the truck wagon, on the way to Cassidy.
44:52We've got to stop her, Bailey, before she gets for him.
45:01They're going to overtake us. We'll never make the camp.
45:31All you can do is keep trying, Terry.
46:01Get down.
46:11Well, there you.
46:13Drop that gun.
46:17Bailey, you take care of the herd.
46:19I'll stay here and take care of the family until you're in the clear.
46:23Right.
46:24Come on, boys. Let's go.
46:33Make yourself at home, Mrs. Joyce. Sit down.
46:37What are you going to do, Uncle Dan?
46:39Uncle Dan's going to tell you some fairy tales.
46:42And not the kind your mama told you, either.
46:44Oh, no, no. Please.
46:45Why not?
46:46It's not nice to tell lies to little boys.
47:14I ain't meaning to tell you your business, Mr. Cassidy, but you're heading the herd away from the range.
47:18Yeah, I know it. I want to get them into that pass.
47:21Oh, there's no grass in there.
47:23I know that, but it'll be a safer place to hold them in case somebody wants this herd.
47:27Oh, I get it. We start the cows into the pass.
47:29Yeah, and hold them there. It'll wait to get here with more men.
47:32I might have known you had something in mind when you first swung the herd.
47:34Now, let's get them in there.
47:58I want you fellows to round up every rider in town for a party.
48:01Then report to me.
48:02Right.
48:04They're headed right in the pass.
48:21Couldn't make it easier for us if they'd tried.
48:34Hey, Red, bring your men up here and hold this herd.
48:47What's up, Cassidy?
48:49Somebody down there in the rocks for the past.
48:55What do you make of it?
48:57I've got an idea.
48:58I'm going to be beating up with my friend, Mr. Bailey, before long.
49:01Come on, let's keep these cattle in here.
49:04Now, remember, you fellas, you're duly sworn in, constituted officer's law.
49:12And from now on, you're under my jurist, uh, jurist, uh, why are you under my order?
49:18Come on, let's get moving.
49:27Oh, they stopped the herd.
49:29They won't come to us, we'll go to them.
49:32Come on.
49:34That's Bailey leading them.
49:39They've got us outnumbered.
49:41If they want this herd, they're going to have to make a fight for it.
49:43We can save a lot of killing, Slim.
49:45You boys give yourselves up and leave the rest to me.
49:49What do you mean, give ourselves up?
49:51Well, that's the great Cassidy, riding out on us when we need him most.
49:59We'll do just like he says, Red.
50:01I've got an idea.
50:02He knows what he's doing.
50:07Put up your guns, boys.
50:08Keep your hands in the air.
50:19All right, boys, tie them up.
50:20Where's Cassidy?
50:21Well, I heeled it out for the tall timber as soon as he saw you coming.
50:36So that's the kind of a guy he is.
50:54Yellow when it comes to an even chance.
50:57Well, I'll have the pleasure of meeting up with him again sometime.
51:01Sooner or later.
51:02Sooner than you think.
51:04Get your hands up, all of you.
51:06Or I'll let Bailey have it.
51:07Don't shoot, Cassidy.
51:09Give me a chance.
51:11Tell your men to get their hands up.
51:13Do what he says, boys.
51:14All right, Red.
51:19Get their gun.
51:22Get down.
51:29Come here.
51:36Now, if you've got nothing further to take up with me, Bailey,
51:39we'll just tie you up for safekeeping till the marshal gets here.
51:42You took a long chance, Cassidy.
51:44Supposed me to put up a fight.
51:46Folks that go around kicking dogs and slapping little boys
51:50don't usually put up much of a fight when the odds are even.
51:58Pull them down.
52:03And, Joey, that man hit that old storekeeper right over the head.
52:08And he'd done so many other mean things
52:11that when they caught him, they'd put him in jail for 20 years.
52:14Don't.
52:14Please don't.
52:16He was a pretty nice fellow, that guy, wasn't he, Joey?
52:19No, Uncle Dan.
52:21He was the meanest man I've ever heard about.
52:24He sure was.
52:26Do you want to know who he really was?
52:29That man was your...
52:32Get the wagon.
52:33Make a break for you.
52:34That runaway don't get her.
52:54The boys out there will.
52:55I've never had much respect for snakes or skunks.
52:59But after knowing you, they'll seem like real folks.
53:01Go ahead and talk.
53:03You ain't got much more of it to do.
53:13Bailey, these men's headed for the past.
53:14Get after them, men.
53:15Wait a minute.
53:40All right.
53:45Take them all into town.
53:55Well, that's Mary.
53:56The team's running away.
53:57The team's running away.
53:59Come on, Uncle Dan.
54:00And I'll come here.
54:02Come on, Michael.
54:06Bye, Mommy.
54:08Come on, Uncle Dan.
54:21Come on.
54:23Come on.
54:23Oh, my God.
54:53Oh, my God.
55:23Gee, that was some right.
55:26That's just what I thought you'd say.
55:29Where's Lucky?
55:30My brother is holding him back there.
55:32It's all my fault this happened, Hoppy.
55:34He never meant to keep his word.
55:36Well, there's no time to worry about that now.
55:37I've got to go back and find Lucky.
55:43What happened?
55:44How'd you get away?
55:44The brother had a little accident.
55:46Wendy happened along just in time.
55:48Is he...
55:48He'll never bother you again, ma'am.
55:50Did he say anything to...
55:52No, he was going to.
55:53That's all I want to know.
55:54Come on, get in the wagon so we can get you back and take care of his arm.
55:57Oh, all I've been doing all day long is getting in and out of that wagon.
56:00Then you ought to be used to it.
56:01Get in.
56:02Oh, no.
56:03Who's going to drive?
56:05Quit worrying.
56:06I am.
56:07Oh, well, why didn't you say so?
56:09Get out of that.
56:15I don't know how to thank you, Hoppy, for all you've done for me.
56:18Well, you don't need to, Mary.
56:20Well, there's something else I want you to do for me, but I don't know whether I have the right to ask.
56:24Maybe you have.
56:25Get in and we're talking over.
56:27I bet you're going to do what I told her to.
56:29I bet you're going to ask him.
56:30Ask him what?
56:31I bet you're going to ask, Hoppy.
56:33Nope, I forgot.
56:34Can't tell you that.
56:35Because it's a secret between me and Ma.
56:38Well, why don't you ask me?
56:40Well, I was going to ask you if you'd stay on at the ranch until I get my cattle shipped.
56:44Well, I figured we'd have to stay until Lucky gets well enough to travel.
56:47But no longer?
56:48Huh?
56:49Oh, no.
56:53See, Lucky?
56:54I told you you didn't have to worry about Hoppy.
56:56Come on.
57:05All right.
57:20All right.
