00:00Here he comes, here he comes, there's the truppets, there's the drums, here he comes,
00:10Humble on Cassidy, here he comes.
00:30Ah, that's a good boy.
01:00Well, what took you so long?
01:07Oh, shucks, I tried to beat you, but Lucky hadn't gotten in my way.
01:10Hey, you got in my way.
01:11I, wait a minute, the bet was two dollars, you remember?
01:15Why, Hoppy, I thought you was betting us a dollar a piece.
01:18You did, huh?
01:19No, I reckon I understood you.
01:21Ah, that's better.
01:22You know, you boys keep up this reckless spending, you're not going to have any money for your vacation.
01:26Vacation, huh?
01:26A lot of fun Lucky and me are going to have sitting around the bar 20.
01:29There's no place like home to spend a vacation.
01:32Oh.
01:33Sure.
01:34Can't we go someplace and have a little fun, Hoppy?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Oh, well, I suppose it's perfectly natural for a couple of cowpokes with a few dollars in their pocket
01:41and want to go on a spree.
01:42Why, sure.
01:43Why, Lucky and me is just like a couple of kids.
01:45Where do we go?
01:46Home.
01:47Oh, now, Hoppy, what...
01:49I hate to think of sitting around twiddling my thumbs.
01:52Well, are you coming?
01:53Sure, we're coming, but we don't want to.
01:55They didn't know it, but I didn't intend to miss the celebration either.
02:04Hey, Hoppy, you're going the wrong way.
02:07Hey, you're trying to go to the bar 20.
02:09Do you think I don't know my right from my left?
02:12You mean we're going to...
02:13Yeah, we're going to Mesa City.
02:16Woo-hoo!
02:17Yeah-hoo-hoo!
02:18Don't get excited.
02:19I'm going to pick up some things in there.
02:20We'll only be there a couple of hours.
02:22We'll have fun anyway!
02:23Come on!
02:38Yeah, too bad we didn't get here sooner.
02:40You could have been in the parade.
02:41Yeah, yeah.
02:42Oh, sure, Hoppy ain't dressed for it.
02:44Ha-ha-ha-ha!
02:58Hey, strange, strange!
02:59Yeah, I want everybody to register.
03:01Don't forget to sign the book.
03:03Sign the book, everybody!
03:05Well, welcome to Mesa City, stranger.
03:08Here, Jed, take this.
03:09I'm Mayor Frank Patton.
03:10How do you do, Mayor?
03:12I'm glad to know you.
03:13I'm Hoplong Cassidy.
03:14This is California Krause.
03:16Howdy, Mayor.
03:16I'm Lucky Jenkins.
03:17How do you do, Mr. Jenkins?
03:18Gentlemen, I wish you'd please step over here and sign the book for me.
03:22This is my daughter, Gloria.
03:24Hello, welcome.
03:26How do you do?
03:26Sign here, please.
03:27I've signed that we're not going to be in town very long.
03:29Oh, that's too bad.
03:30If you had, you could have entered some of the contest.
03:32Yeah, yeah.
03:33And by the way, I'm chairman of the entertainment committee.
03:35Self-appointed.
03:37He's the most important man in town.
03:39Owns a hotel, president of the city council.
03:42That's self-appointed, too.
03:44He's chairman of the realty board.
03:45Oh, quiet, quiet, Jed.
03:47Just because I let you run my hotel doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful.
03:50Sorry, Your Honor.
03:52Here, Connell Boy, you better sign.
03:53Sure.
03:54What's the celebration about?
03:56We're going to have the greatest irrigation project in the state.
04:08What kind of contraption is that?
04:10It's what they call a horseless carriage.
04:12Looks dangerous to me.
04:14You might as well get used to them.
04:15Probably be dozens of them around before long.
04:21Give me your, give me your, give me your.
04:24If you want to see some more land, just call on me.
04:28Thanks very much, Sheriff.
04:29All right, folks.
04:30Let's go.
04:31Well, I got that chip for the benzene in, Whitey Regal.
04:33Mr. Dunning, meet Mr. Cassidy.
04:35How do you do, sir?
04:36Very glad to know you.
04:37How do you do?
04:37Mr. Dunning's responsible for our irrigation project.
04:40That's what this land needs.
04:41It'll open up more territory for new crops.
04:43Thousands of acres.
04:45White, we'll be the biggest boom since I was the president of the CAIAI.
04:49CAIAI?
04:50Yes, the Citizens Amalgamated Improvement Association, Inc.
04:55By the way, Your Honor, here's another draft.
04:58Add it to my account, would you please?
05:00Nice.
05:02Mr. Dunning, he's one of my biggest depositors.
05:05Oh, I own the First National Bank, too.
05:07Mr. Dunning thought out the whole plan for our irrigation improvement.
05:11We're going to build a pipeline from the East Lakes.
05:13All financed by local people, with his help, of course.
05:16The local ranches have contributed very generously, too.
05:18Well, I'll say they have.
05:19Why, we've got over $100,000 on deposit in my...
05:23Oh, I told you that before, didn't I?
05:25Yes, you own the bank, too.
05:29If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.
05:30Hope I see you again, Mr. Cassidy.
05:34There goes the old fellow with the head on his shoulders.
05:37Well, Mr. Cassidy, let's get on with your buying.
05:39The sooner the better.
05:41And remember what I told you to.
05:43Be here in 30 minutes and keep out of trouble.
05:45Well, uh...
05:48Well, how about it?
05:49Well, darn it, Hoppy said we wasn't going to stay.
05:51Do you think he'd skin us alive if we, uh...
05:53Oh, I don't know. I don't think so.
05:56Especially if we win some of that prize money before he's ready to leave town.
05:59Yeah.
06:00It's a go?
06:01Meet you in the hotel lobby.
06:03We stay?
06:04We'll stick together and take our punishment if anything goes wrong.
06:06Fight man.
06:07Right.
06:09Just the same. I hope Hoppy don't get mad.
06:13Teleporting.
06:14Teleporting.
06:15After I paid my entry fee, I found out the bronc riding contest doesn't come off till tomorrow.
06:19Yeah? Well, the dancing contest ain't till tonight.
06:21Yeah, but I can't get my money back.
06:23Well, I can't neither.
06:25What can we do about it?
06:27I...
06:27Lucky.
06:29The time's come for action.
06:31I got an idea.
06:31Well, I'll even try one of your ideas.
06:34We couldn't be much worse off.
06:44Okay, Mr. Cassidy.
06:45I'll have those things ready for you before you go.
06:48That's fine.
06:49Say, by the way, Mayor.
06:50Didn't Denning say he was going to bring that pipeline in from the East Lakes?
06:53Yes, right over the East Range.
06:56What's on your mind?
06:57Well, that's going to be quite a problem, bringing that water over the East Range, isn't it?
07:00Oh, not for a man like Dunning.
07:02Oh, he's a smart fellow.
07:04Maybe he is.
07:05Yeah.
07:19Oh, excuse me, Miss Patton.
07:20I was supposed to meet my two friends here.
07:22Have you seen them?
07:23I saw them in the lobby a few minutes ago.
07:30Have you seen the two men I came to town with?
07:44Why, yes.
07:44They're up in suite 214.
07:46Suite 214?
07:48Well, go on up and see them.
07:48I'm sure it'll be all right with them.
07:50Well, what are they doing up there?
07:52I don't know.
07:53I never pry into the personal affairs of the guests.
07:57So I see.
07:57California, tell him.
08:01Well, it's like this, Hoppy.
08:03You see, this year's celebration, it lasts two days.
08:05And the dancing contest, it's tonight.
08:07And the bronze contest is tomorrow.
08:09So we thought...
08:10You thought what?
08:11Well, California.
08:13We thought that maybe you'd like to stay here tonight.
08:17And you made all arrangements.
08:18Oh, but we was going to ask you about it, Hoppy.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Oh, sure.
08:22Well, this was the bridal suite.
08:23Jed gave it to us.
08:24Ain't it elegant?
08:25And it won't cost you a cent, Hoppy, the treats on us.
08:28You bet it is.
08:29It's the best sleeping place west of the Mississippi.
08:31And oh, it's one of them newfangled bathtubs.
08:34Oh, looky here.
08:37A clothes cover.
08:38And a dummy waiter.
08:41See this thing here?
08:42You just blow into it.
08:45And order anything you want.
08:46And it talks back to you.
08:50How about it, Hoppy?
08:54Oh, this is wonderful.
08:56When I was over at the store a while ago, I was thinking we might all get together and do just this.
09:00Yeah.
09:01You mean...
09:01Sure.
09:02Only I don't think we'd have had the bridal suite.
09:05No.
09:05And you'd better win that contest money, too.
09:07Oh, sure.
09:08Come on, come on.
09:09Sit down, Hoppy.
09:10Make yourself comfortable.
09:11Let's take your boots off.
09:12Sure.
09:13Joey, look at them checkered pants.
09:19You looked at them.
09:21I'm going to be the best dressed man at the square dance.
09:23Right, Mr. Carson.
09:24I outfit all the important gentlemen in town.
09:27Did you get that, Lucky?
09:29Ha, ha.
09:29Married.
09:32I want to look like that dummy.
09:34What?
09:35Don't worry.
09:36Don't worry.
09:36You'll look exactly like him.
09:39Well, thanks.
09:40Who said that?
09:42Ha, ha, ha.
09:43Well, well, look at him.
09:47Well, you think you're the only ones that can buy new clothes?
09:50No, no.
09:50You just surprised us.
09:51That's all.
09:52Mr. Cassidy picked those things out when he was in the store a while ago.
09:55Running me competition, huh?
09:56Oh, you'll win hands down in that suit.
09:59It could be a little big.
10:00Oh, no.
10:01It'll look fine on you.
10:03Looks like you'd been poured into it.
10:05Well, the sleeves are a little long.
10:07Oh, just a little.
10:07I'm sorry.
10:08I can't do any altering today.
10:10But I've got to wear it at the square dance tonight.
10:12I'll pay you extra if you fix it up.
10:14Well, I'll try.
10:16I'll wrap up your old things, Mr. Cassidy.
10:18Yeah, and don't forget this suitcase I just bought.
10:20Oh, sure, sure, sure.
10:21You mean you bought one of those, too?
10:22Yep.
10:23You're getting kind of reckless with your money, aren't you?
10:26Taint every day I go on the spree, Hoppy.
10:32Fun, huh?
10:32Yeah.
10:33I'm going over to the store and get my new suit.
10:35You're going to be the belle of the ball.
10:38Don't let them start the contest without me.
10:39Oh, they wouldn't think of it.
10:40California will never believe this.
11:02It fits perfectly, Mr. Carlson.
11:08Perfectly.
11:09And now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to the hotel.
11:12You've got to get back.
11:13I've got to get back.
11:14But you're not as important as I am.
11:15I have to judge the concert.
11:16Oh, we don't need no judge.
11:18I'm the best square dancer in the country.
11:20Where's my old clothes?
11:21Right over there.
11:21Oh, no, no.
11:22I remember.
11:22They're in the dressing room.
11:23Oh, yeah.
11:24You did all right.
11:27Sure enough.
11:28Yeah, I was surprised.
11:29Well, maybe I should do that more often, huh?
11:36That a clothes came from the bank.
11:38Look at those men running out.
11:47What was that?
11:48It sounded like it came from the bank.
11:49The bank!
11:50Don't call me.
12:18What?
12:19We're going away.
12:33Who are they?
12:34I don't know.
12:40Hoppy.
12:45Hoppy.
12:48Hoppy.
12:49What happened to you?
12:50Somebody run into me.
12:51Hit me in the head.
12:52Did you see who it was?
12:53No, it happened.
12:54It's a quake.
12:55Help!
12:56Help!
12:57Where's the sheriff?
12:59Sheriff!
12:59The bank!
13:00Where's the sheriff?
13:02Somebody's cleaned out the vaults.
13:06Did you say those men robbed the bank?
13:07Yes, they did.
13:08Did you identify any of them?
13:10No, I couldn't.
13:11Well, you should be able to.
13:12They went right by you.
13:13I'm sorry, Mr. Cassidy, but it was too dark.
13:15Sheriff, I demand immediate action.
13:17I'll organize a posse.
13:18Come on, Mr. Cliff.
13:19Lucky, you take care of California.
13:21I'm going with the posse.
13:22That's right, Hoppy.
13:24Mr. Cassidy and the posse haven't arrived.
13:26They will.
13:27How about some more towels for our room?
13:29Sure thing.
13:30Bring them up myself.
13:31Service.
13:32That's me.
13:33Better get on my old clothes.
13:35Sure.
13:35I'll put it in the closet.
13:59It's Hoppy.
14:13Well, well, bring them in here.
14:14Let's have a look at the thieves.
14:15They lost their trail.
14:16What?
14:17This isn't our freak.
14:18How's California?
14:19He's all right, Hoppy.
14:20You know what a hard head he has.
14:21Never mind whose head is hard or soft.
14:22I want those robbers apprehended, or you'll be looking for a new job.
14:25Now, look here, Frank, I...
14:26No familiarity.
14:27Address me as your honor.
14:29All right, your honor.
14:30We'll be on the trail again by daylight.
14:31By daylight, they'll be well out of our reach.
14:33Or anyone else's, for that matter.
14:35And what would you suggest?
14:37That's for the law to say.
14:38But I will say this much.
14:40I'm going to hold the mayor responsible for my law.
14:42I have absolutely...
14:43Mr. Mayor, I've got the thief locked up.
14:48Sheriff, I found a stolen money.
14:50What do you mean to say?
14:51Everybody, stop talking at once.
14:53Now, Jed, what is it you're trying to tell me?
14:56Follow me.
14:57You better disarm them, too.
14:59Why us?
15:00Because your partner, California, has the money.
15:02And I wouldn't be surprised by what you're in on it, too.
15:05Oh, you're out of your mind, Jed.
15:07Oh, no, I ain't.
15:08Just take the guns.
15:09I'll prove what I said.
15:10All right, boys.
15:11Let me have the guns.
15:13There you are.
15:15All right.
15:15Let's go.
15:16Will you be quiet?
15:18Well, where is the money?
15:19It's over there, Hoppy.
15:21I'll show you.
15:22Hey, why, I just...
15:25There it is.
15:30Doggone it, it's gone.
15:32He's lying, Sheriff.
15:34He hid it someplace.
15:35You'd better be careful while you talk, mister.
15:37Are you sure that's where you put it?
15:39Why, yeah, sure, sure, I'm sure.
15:41I ain't crazy.
15:42Did you or did you not take the money?
15:44All right, Sheriff, do your duty.
15:46Hoppy, you're not going to let him take California, are you?
15:48Well, what else can I do, Lucky?
15:50California admits he had the money.
15:51Jed saw him with it.
15:52Now it's gone.
15:53What about these two?
15:54We'll be right here.
15:55We're just as anxious to see this cleared up as you are.
15:57Don't try to leave town.
15:59Come on, you come along with me.
16:00Now, wait a minute, Hoppy.
16:02You ain't going to let...
16:02Come on.
16:05Hoppy, I just remembered something.
16:06Now, go on with the Sheriff and don't give us any more trouble.
16:09Our whole celebration is ruined.
16:14Well, I wouldn't get too upset about it, Your Honor.
16:16I'm sure after he's had a good night's sleep, he'll talk.
16:18You think so?
16:19Oh, yes, he usually talks in the morning.
16:22He better.
16:23This could develop into a very nasty affair,
16:25particularly when you consider the losses of the ranchers in this community.
16:28You don't seem upset about your own money.
16:30Well, that's his honor's worry.
16:31Oh, Mr. Dunning, Mr. Dunning, please be patient.
16:34I assure you, I...
16:36What goes on here, anyway?
16:38You know California didn't steal that money?
16:40Of course he didn't, Lucky.
16:42And he'll probably never forgive me.
16:44Then why did you let them take him?
16:46Do you know why they put cheese in rat traps?
16:49To catch rats.
16:55It's Dunning.
16:59Everything all right in town?
17:00Yes, you made a perfect getaway.
17:02Come on, open it up quick.
17:03I want to fan out of here.
17:04You mean to say you haven't taken your share yet?
17:06No, we ain't touched it.
17:07We've been waiting for you.
17:08Well, you can have the honor of making the split.
17:10According to your figures, Dunning, we ought to have over a hundred thousand.
17:13Mr. Bob.
17:15What is this, a joke?
17:17You better show me that money pretty quick.
17:19Put away that gun, Ace.
17:20Not that one of you double-crossers shows me that money.
17:22None of us have the money.
17:24You left it in town.
17:25I'll quit the mystery, Dunning.
17:27You remember bumping into a man when you left the bank?
17:29Yeah.
17:31Yeah, I knocked him down before I could get away.
17:33Yes, well, he was carrying a suitcase, too.
17:34You must have grabbed the wrong one.
17:36Where is the old coot?
17:37He's in jail.
17:38We robbed the bank and you give it right back to him.
17:40Maybe we're not so bad off.
17:43At least we have someone to blame for the robbery.
17:45What good is that without the money?
17:47You know, I just happen to think of something, Dunning.
17:50Ten thousand dollars of your cash was in it.
17:53You don't look like you're worried much.
17:55We'll recover the right suitcase.
17:56Let's go.
17:57We can't do anything tonight.
17:59The man you bumped into is still dizzy.
18:01But when he starts talking, we'll be there.
18:03You bet we will.
18:04Now, look.
18:05You two meet me at the edge of town in the morning.
18:08Hill, you come with me now.
18:09Okay.
18:15Oh, I don't think so.
18:16Well, never mind.
18:17But you've arrived at a very bad time.
18:19But I assure you, this unfortunate affair
18:21will be very quickly taken care of.
18:23Mr. Cassidy, this is Mr. Hill.
18:26He's an associate engineer on our project.
18:28How do you do, sir?
18:28Oh, yes, sir.
18:29Mr. Jenkins.
18:30I'm lucky to be here.
18:32I lost my way.
18:42You're taking the prisoner out of jail now.
18:44We'd better go for the investigation.
18:47Come on, now.
19:02Come on, now.
19:03Come on!
19:03Come on.
19:04Now, stay outside for a while and then come inside.
19:07And don't attract any attention.
19:09Remember what I told you about a trap?
19:11Yeah.
19:11Well, looks like the rats are going for the cheese.
19:19This comes off like you expect it to.
19:20Me too.
19:30Well, here he is, Mr. Cassidy.
19:32Slept all night like a baby.
19:34How's your head, California?
19:35Oh, kind of sure, Hoppy, but I think he remembers.
19:37Well, come on, good. Let's go inside.
19:39What have you got to your room?
19:41Now, don't let him get you excited. Just take your time.
19:43Yeah, I'll go slow.
19:45Well, I put the suitcase in the bed.
19:47I opened it up, and gosh, home was fainted.
19:50I never saw so much money in all my born days.
19:52All the money I had in the bank vaults.
19:54Well, doggone it, I never counted it.
19:56Of course you didn't.
19:57I only counted up to two dollars.
19:59Then what'd you do?
20:00Now, don't rush me. After all, I was hitting the head.
20:03All right, go on, go on.
20:05Was you ever hitting the noggin with something I tried to remember?
20:07Yes, I know.
20:08You know what?
20:09Well, try it sometimes, dog.
20:11This ain't a billiard ball, you know.
20:13It's bone or something.
20:15Just a minute, Jim.
20:20What do you want?
20:21Leaving town?
20:22Mind your own business.
20:23Wait a minute.
20:24What do you want?
20:25I want the suitcase you got in that sack.
20:27Wait a minute.
20:28Wait a minute.
20:29Wait a minute.
20:30Wait a minute.
20:31What do you want?
20:32I want the suitcase you got in that sack.
20:34Wait a minute.
20:35Everybody stand back.
20:36I don't reach for any guns.
20:37I don't reach for any guns.
20:38I don't reach for any guns.
20:39Mr. Dunning, I demand an explanation.
20:40Don't try to follow us.
20:41Don't try to follow us.
20:42Don't try to follow us.
20:43Don't try to follow us.
20:44Don't try to follow us.
20:45Wait a minute.
20:46Wait a minute.
20:47What do you want?
20:48I want the suitcase you got in that sack.
20:49Come on.
20:50Pull it.
20:51Come on.
20:52I want the suitcase you got in that sack.
20:53Everybody stand back.
20:54We didn't reach for any guns.
20:58Don't try to follow us.
21:03Don't try to follow us.
21:10Come on.
21:17Come on, come on.
21:22Hoppy, is it fast?
21:23No, I'm all right. Where'd they go?
21:24They went into the street carrying the sand.
21:26That's a suitcase.
21:40Look at the money!
21:49Hey, Alton! Somebody do something!
21:51Now throw him in! Sheriff! Sheriff!
21:53Go organize the posse!
21:54Jed! Jed! Where are you?
21:56Jed's been shot. Somebody take care of him.
21:58Jed? What's he gonna do with it?
21:59I'll explain later. Let's get going.
22:00All right.
22:10Come on, boys!
22:23The tracks go this way!
22:25Ha!
22:40We're out of fuel.
22:51We're not far from the shack.
22:53Come on, we'll make a stand there.
23:10Well, they've taken off on foot here.
23:23Hey!
23:24Hey!
23:40Hey!
23:57Look at that window.
24:03Keep them busy.
24:10All right, Sheriff. Come and get them.
24:31We've been robbed again.
24:32What happened to the money?
24:33I think the mayor can tell you where it is.
24:35I can?
24:36What do you mean?
24:37If you'll come back to the hotel with me,
24:38I'll see that the mayor produces the money.
24:40Well, go ahead, Frank.
24:41Well, I've never been so unjustly accused of complicity enterprise.
24:44Come on, come on, come on, come on.
24:46Come on, get going!
24:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:51Let me have that package, will you, please?
24:56Well, that's addressed to Dad!
24:58Yes, I know it is.
24:59Sheriff, will you open that?
25:01You're the one.
25:02You're the one.
25:03You're the one.
25:04You're the one.
25:05Now, now, wait a minute.
25:06Wait a minute, Sheriff.
25:07You'd better come along with me, Frank.
25:08You know absolutely...
25:09Now, wait a minute.
25:10I found the money last night and addressed it to you in case anything happened to me.
25:14Some of that money belongs to me.
25:15Some of it did belong to you.
25:16Now it belongs to the state.
25:17They'll decide what to do with it, and you too.
25:18Now, I remember, there's the fellow I sold the other suitcase to.
25:20Well, it's too bad you didn't remember sooner.
25:21All right, Sheriff, take him along.
25:22All right, get going.
25:23Oh, I'll explain the failure of the water project to the people.
25:24Oh, I'm sure any explanation you give him, Your Honor, will be perfectly all right.
25:27Yes, it is.
