00:00The End
00:30Looks like we'll have the detour. Something must be wrong.
00:54You're right, brother. This is a sticker.
01:00Throw down that bag.
01:30You're right, brother.
01:35You're right, brother.
01:39You're right, brother.
01:45You're right, brother.
01:52How'd you like it?
01:54Judging from the motions, must have been mighty pretty.
01:57I'm sorry I couldn't have heard it.
02:00You sure do all right with your lip-reading, Booch.
02:03Gosh, I ought to. I've been practicing all my life.
02:06John, you know this part of Wyoming's sheep range.
02:09What makes you think so?
02:11I might be deaf, but I ain't dumb.
02:14And what's more, my smeller ain't crippled.
02:16And when the morning breeze wafts the smell of sheep,
02:20since I don't have to hear them.
02:22I might be deaf, but I ain't dumb.
02:25And what's more, my smeller ain't crippled.
02:27And when the morning breeze wafts the smell of sheep,
02:30since I don't have to hear them.
02:45You carry everything in that hat band of yours, don't you, Booch?
02:48Yep, it's hanging there in a pocket.
02:51Son, I reckon you'll be glad to see your maw.
02:57I sure will, Booch. Fifteen years is a long time.
03:01You know, my folks died when I was a yearling.
03:04You haven't talked much about it,
03:07but from what I gather,
03:09I don't reckon your childhood was any too pleasant either.
03:12No, it wasn't, Booch.
03:16My dad died when I was a little shaver.
03:19My mother married again, a fellow named Hendricks.
03:22He kicked me around so much that I shoved off on my own.
03:26A ranch.
03:28I always figured mother was never very happy with this Hendricks.
03:33So I went back to get her.
03:35I found out they had moved.
03:37I spent years trying to locate her, Booch.
03:40And just a month ago I found out that Hendricks had died
03:43and that she was alone.
03:45So I'm on my way to get her and take her home with me.
03:49And I reckon we'd better get started.
03:56Audrey.

05:47There's two of them.
05:48Keep your hardware ready.
05:51And don't you gum this up.
05:54Let them pass, and when their backs are toward us, I'll sing out the orders.
05:59It'd be a heap easier to let them have it now, wouldn't it?
06:01You ain't got the brains of a fly.
06:04They gotta make sure who they are before we dust them.
06:08Kootenai got a tip that a marshal was coming this way, riding a Palomino horse.
06:14And I reckon that's him.
06:17Reach high.
06:30Reach high.
06:44The Pal's dead.
06:50He didn't hear you.
06:51Yeah?
06:52Well, maybe this'll stop him.
06:54Put the blaze out.
07:18We got reinforcements.
07:25They've got us in a trap.
07:28Come on.
07:28Where are they?
07:35Right down that draw.
07:38I ain't never saw such a darn country where people started shooting at each other for no dad-burn reason.
07:44Looks like our reinforcements hit bad.
07:56Come on, Booch.
08:04Lamar.
08:06John.
08:08Booch, I want you to meet Lamar Blyde.
08:11My old trail bar.
08:13Howdy.
08:13Howdy.
08:13Well, I reckon I picked the right side to be on.
08:18Was that the Kootenai gang we were shooting with?
08:20I'm darned if I know.
08:22Those three Umbries trail jumped us just as you showed up.
08:25What are you doing in this part of the country?
08:27I'm a lawman now.
08:29Working on the Kootenai gang.
08:31Mail robbers.
08:33I kind of had my suspicions about you two and been trailing you for hours.
08:43Phil, you're right to the bone.
08:49You're going to be laid up for quite a spell tomorrow.
08:52Just my luck.
08:54Nice reward, too, one of them fellas.
08:56Chance for a promotion.
08:58Now look at me.
08:58You got one of them.
09:00That's something.
09:02Good press that fellow, John.
09:03I'd like to find out if he's one of Kootenai's gang.
09:06Give your friend a shot of this Mew, D.
09:08We've got to get you to bed and then wrestle a doctor.
09:17Remember that wagon we passed down the way?
09:20I'll go down there and get it.
09:22As fast as you can, Boots.
09:27Have another shot of this.
09:30I'm going to work on that leg a bit.
09:33I'd trade the doggone leg.
09:36If I could just hang my rope on them two crooks.
09:38Well, don't worry about them.
09:39I'll take after them and crawl them for you if I can.
09:42Say, that's an idea.
09:45Here, you take my badge.
09:47I'll swear you in as special deputy.
09:49Fine.
09:50I'm glad to do it for you, Lamar.
10:08He was one of the Kootenai gang, all right.
10:13I found the tag to the mail pouch in his pocket.
10:16Good work, John.
10:17Get on their trail.
10:19Take good care of him, Manuel.
10:21I'll be back as soon as I can.
10:22Boots.
10:38Grew?
10:39Boots.
10:40I'm going to use his name so he can collect that reward.
10:42Well, I reckon from now on, you're alias John Law.
11:12Well, what happened?
11:42Where's Rusty?
11:44Dead. We run into a whole army, Kootenay.
11:48How many times have I told you not to call me Kootenay around here?
11:52If these lazy dollar cowboys heard it, it would spoil everything.
11:57Come inside.
12:00Now then, Rico, spill it. What happened?
12:14While I was laying on the trail, I was waiting for the marshal on his white horse.
12:18But he had another fellow riding with him.
12:20We stuck him up, but he had a whole posse following him.
12:24Posse cut loose ones and killed Rusty.
12:27We high-tailed it, but not to laugh till we wing one of the posse.
12:30Ain't that so, Sammy?
12:32So you let the marshal get away, did you?
12:36Couldn't find a whole posse, could we?
12:39You probably killed the biggest chance that any of you's ever had for making some big money.
12:44I don't see why you're so anxious to get your hands on this scrubby ranch, Kootenay.
12:48This scrubby ranch, as you call it, is worth $75,000 cash.
12:53If that marshal doesn't gum up my plans.
12:56$75,000? Huh. That's a lot of money.
13:00That beats sticking up stages.
13:02How are you going to get it?
13:04When we held up that stage, I found a letter notifying the heir to this measly lazy dollar ranch to come and claim it.
13:11The letter said that oil had been struck on the adjoining land and for him to hurry and claim it.
13:16That the Western Oil Company had made a cash offer of $75,000 for the lease.
13:21Gosh, that's a heap of money.
13:24I took that letter, made my claim, and got away with it.
13:27As soon as the properties turned over to me, I'll lease it to this oil company, get the money, and blow the country.
13:33Nice brain work, Kootenay.
13:36But what about the real heir to this lazy dollar?
13:39What if he's to show up?
13:40Not a chance.
13:42Didn't I steal a letter telling him to come?
13:44Besides, he ain't never been in these parts.
13:47So you be careful about calling me Kootenay around here.
14:03Hello, inside!
14:06It's a morsel and his pal.
14:19Now there's a chance to nail both of them.
14:21Put that gun away.
14:22We can't kill them here, and have these call hands as witnesses.
14:26I'll go out and stall them.
14:29You stay here.
14:39Howdy, strangers!
14:41Would you like to have a feed?
14:43Thanks, but we're in a hurry.
14:45Where's the nearest doctor?
14:47Well, what's the matter?
14:48Busted leg.
14:49We ran into a stick up back yonder, and a friend of ours got shot.
14:52That's too bad.
14:54Any idea who these fellas were?
14:57Might have been some of the Kootenay gang.
15:00You haven't seen any strangers around here, have you?
15:03Come to think of it, I did see a couple of fellas streaking it for that canyon up yonder.
15:08They acted as if they were in a powerful hurry.
15:11Boots, you fetch that doctor.
15:13I'm trailing those two riders.
15:15Oh, forget it.
15:16I'll send one of my men.
15:18Say your name was?
15:20His name's Lamar Blythe.
15:22Hurry and get that doctor up to Manuel's camp before a friend kicks out on us.
15:26I'll tend to it right away.
15:28You might overtake those fellas.
15:30If you hurry.
15:32Well, thanks.
15:38I'm giving you one more chance.
15:50I've sent them up Wild Horse Canyon.
15:52You two follow them, and this time don't fail me.
15:56You understand?
15:58When they find their bodies, one of them will be the Marshal's,
16:01and these letters will identify the other fellow as me.
16:05The law will stop following us, and I'll have no interference in this land deal.
16:09You've got brains, Cootney.
16:11But what about that fellow at the sheep camp?
16:13Forget him.
16:14Get going.
16:35Get back.
16:36Ready for help.
16:37Ready for help.
16:38Ready for help.
16:39Ready for help.
16:40It's easy.
16:43They're spitting.
16:45We'll take old whiskers first.
16:50You're spitting.
16:51Take them.
16:52Oh.
16:53I'mung.
16:54Take it.
16:55Oh.
16:56Get back.
16:57Take that.
16:58It's easy.
16:59They're spitting.
17:00We'll take old whiskers first.
17:04Everett, Tarkin, and Clark.
17:25That might be interesting to Kootenay.
17:31Huh, he's done for.
17:58The Marshal's next.
17:59Kootenay can't crab out us this time, can he?
18:01He certainly can't.
18:02We're getting what he sent us for.
18:15Knocked out?
18:16What happened, Boach?
18:17Two of Kootenays men shut me down.
18:20They sure did.
18:24How do you know they were Kootenay men?
18:26Cause they said that Kootenay sent them over here at...
18:29Where's it go, Boach?
18:30Just up the canyon.
18:31You stay right here.
18:38I'm good.
18:45I'll be right back.
21:20Where have you been?
21:22Trailed him in.
21:23I had to hide till the marshal left.
21:25So you fell down on the job again, eh?
21:28Well, let me explain.
21:29You talk too much.
21:31I never said nothing they could hear.
21:33No?
21:34Then how does it happen that they know that I wanted them wiped out?
21:37I don't know.
21:38I just whispered, didn't I?
21:40So you admit it, eh?
21:42You know I told you what would happen if you crossed me again.
21:45You're not going to turn me over to the sheriff for you.
21:50If you do, I'll spill everything.
21:52Don't worry, Rico.
21:54I'm not going to turn you over to any sheriff.
21:56That fellow sure covered his tracks, Booch.
22:01Well, we might run across him here in town.

42:24Oh, then you shouldn't have come here. There's a deputy in camp.
42:34Look.
42:43I wonder who they are.
42:46It's that claim-jumping gent and his gun-slinging pal.
42:48What are they saying, Booch?
43:02Argument about us dissatisfied. The claim-jumper threatens to give him nothing.
43:12John! The little fella just called him Kootenay.
43:15Kootenay?
43:18John, that claim-jumper is Kootenay.
43:21We're going after him.
43:25You can't double-cross me, Kootenay.
43:27I'm taking you back to town, and I'm spilling the whole works.
43:33They'll let me take evidence.
43:35I'll put you at the end of a rope where you belong.
43:39I'm not trying to double-cross you, Simi. I told you you'd get yours.
43:45Now, if you don't mind, I'll make a cigarette.
43:50You stay here with him, Booch. I'm going after Kootenay.
44:02You stay here with him, Booch. I'm going after Kootenay.
44:16Where's them outlaw friends of yours?
44:28Those outlaws, as you call them, just went after Kootenay, the mail robber.
44:32They went over that way.
44:33You're just in time, Sheriff.
45:02This critter wants to talk, and from what I gather, it's powerful and important.
45:07Yeah, and from what I can gather, you've got a lot of explaining to do, too.
45:11He's Kootenay, all right.
45:24He murdered Rico.
45:26And now, now he's done me in.
45:31He found a letter addressed to the real clerk, and nightly robbed the mail.
45:38Well, that's what gave him the idea to steal the wrench.
45:46Here, you want to sign this?
45:50Sure.
45:50All right, old-timer.
46:05You take care of him.
46:07You take care of him.
46:25You take care of him.
46:29You take care of him.
46:59You take care of him.
47:04You take care.
47:05He took care of him.
47:07Right, old-timer.
47:07He's gone.
47:09John?
47:12Now, we're going to sign this one.
47:17And...
47:19Right.
47:20Yeah, you can.
47:22Yeah, that's it.
47:54You boys circle around the rocks.
48:09They're here someplace.
48:24That was Kootenay, Sheriff.
48:43If you can get him out of there, you'll find that mail robbery evidence.
48:47That won't be necessary, Mr. Clark.
48:50And I guess I can pin this badge back on you.
49:01Come on, Booch.
49:02What are they saying?
49:04Come on.
49:05Tell us what it's all about.
49:06Well, what is it?
49:19Come on, Booch.
49:20What is it?
49:20What is it?
49:21Come on, tell us.
49:37Don't stir, bye, doggie.
49:41I'll never tell on a pal.
49:43Well, I'll tell you this much.
49:47There's going to be a wedding ride soon.
