00:00Here he comes, here he comes, there's the truppets, there's the drums, here he comes.
00:10Popolum Cassidy, here he comes.
00:15We were returning to the bar 20 when Knight forced us to stop at the Landrider's Shack.
00:34Come on, California, get that fried chicken ready.
00:38I'll get you stewed.
00:41Hey, Hoppy, what's that horse doing here?
00:43Oh, I don't know.
00:45What did you get on the doorknob?
00:54Now what did I do?
00:55It's all sticky.
00:56I wish you'd learn to keep your grease in the frying pan.
01:06We're about out of matches here, California.
01:08Oh, I can watch from here, Hoppy.
01:10Hoppy.
01:10Well, that's blood.
01:19Somebody's been here all right, and not long ago either.
01:22He must have ducked out when he heard us.
01:23What do you suppose he's scared of?
01:25I don't know, and I ain't injured.
01:27Looks like he was wounded pretty bad.
01:29California, you better get a fire start and get some hot water ready.
01:31I'll go around the back.
01:45You look over here.
01:48Why did I go, Hoppy?
01:49I'll go, Hoppy.
02:04Stop or I'll shoot.
02:05Put your gun away.
02:18Look, he couldn't understand why the girl had fallen.
02:21He had merely fired a warning shot into the air.
02:23What's this?
02:27Now I can use that hot water I ask you for.
02:29And some clean bandages.
02:30I'll get him.
02:31Give me a hand, Willis.
02:38I wonder who she is.
02:40What do I know?
02:44She's looking at me.
02:45Hello there.
02:47Her eyes are blue.
02:48Who are you?
02:49Well, maybe I should introduce ourselves.
02:52I'm Hopalong Caster at the bar 20.
02:54This is Lucky Jenkins, and he's California Carlson.
02:58What did you say your name was?
03:00I really must be going...
03:01Oh, no, you mustn't.
03:03Mustn't take a chance with this wound.
03:05California, get some supper ready.
03:07Sure.
03:07Miss, would you care for some...
03:09Just get the stew and beans ready.
03:11That's all we got.
03:14Where are you going, Hoppy?
03:15I'm going out and do a little investigating on my own.
03:17I'll get my hat.
03:17You're not going.
03:19You stay here and look after her.
03:20You don't mind, do you?
03:21No.
03:22I want you both to guard the shack.
03:24We don't want anything more to happen to her.
03:25I'll be back as soon as I can.
03:26Hoppy, you ain't going into the...
03:28Yeah, Devil's Playground.
03:30It's almost midnight.
03:33I figured that whoever had wounded the girl
03:35might be hiding nearby.
03:36And the Devil's Playground
03:37seemed the likeliest place to begin the search.
03:39I can't look after her.
04:12Hello there.
04:35Where's the trail out of here anyhow?
04:39Who's that up there?
04:42Well, that's just me.
05:02What's the idea of sneaking down on it?
05:04You got me wrong, mister.
05:05I wasn't sneaking down on you.
05:06I was trying to find my way out of this place.
05:07Where have you been?
05:09Someone hollered, boss.
05:10How good to see.
05:12Maybe it was you.
05:13I guess it was me, you heard.
05:14Well, who are you?
05:16I'm Hopalong Cassidy.
05:18And what are you doing out in the Devil's Playground at night?
05:22Well, I might ask you the same thing, Mr.
05:24Oh, yes.
05:25Morton.
05:25Judge Morton.
05:26This is Mr. Roberts and this is Mr. Wolfe.
05:28Howdy.
05:29And this is Shorty.
05:31The ever faithful Shorty.
05:33He was very devoted to my daughter until...
05:37Until what?
05:38Until, until she was...
05:39Get out.
05:40Oh, no.
05:40We must explain to Mr. Cassidy.
05:43Perhaps he can help us.
05:45She...
05:45She shot herself.
05:48Why would she do that?
05:49Well, she...
05:50She wasn't exactly herself lately.
05:53Oh, I see.
05:55What does your daughter look like?
05:57Well, she's a brunette.
05:58She has blue eyes.
06:01She had on a brown divided skirt.
06:04Oh, well, I wouldn't worry too much about her, Judge.
06:05She's not badly hurt.
06:08You know where she is.
06:10I think I've found her.
06:11Hurry, Mr. Cassidy.
06:12You must take me to her at once.
06:13Boys, saddle up quick.
06:15Shorty, you stay here and pack up.
06:16We'll come back for you later.
06:18Shorty, get going.
06:24Just a minute, then, please, Mr. Cassidy.
06:33Uh, Mr. Roberts.
06:35Perhaps you'd better go back and warn Shorty to be sure and put out the fire.
06:39Right, George, Ed?
06:42It was early morning when we reached the line shack.
06:48You want to sleep?
06:49Never close an eye all night.
06:50Not a peep out of her.
06:51That's good.
06:51Perhaps you'd better let me talk with her alone first, my boy.
06:54All right.
07:01Where's California?
07:03Still under the wind, I guess.
07:04No, no, there he is out there tending the horses.
07:09Where is she?
07:11Where have you hidden her?
07:12Well, isn't she in there?
07:13No.
07:14Where is she, Lucky?
07:15Uh, I don't know.
07:16I was sure she was there.
07:17I see!
07:17I see!
07:18We've been robbed.
07:19The gal's horse is gone.
07:20Showed a pair of my pants and a shirt I had in the line.
07:22Why?
07:23When did you get back?
07:24Well, your daughter must have slipped away while these men were asleep.
07:27Gosh, I'm sorry, Hoppy.
07:28I don't know when I could have...
07:29Quit play-acting, cowpoke.
07:31Come on, tell us where she is.
07:32Hold it, boys.
07:33I think they're telling the truth.
07:35I think she's tricking us again, Judge.
07:38Why, that sneaking little wildcat.
07:40Who does she think she is anyway, double-crossing us like this?
07:42Don't worry about that.
07:43She'll pay for it when we catch her.
07:50Go on.
07:50What kind of talk is that?
07:52Certainly strange, coming from a worried father.
07:54What goes on here, anyway?
07:56I don't know, but we're going to find out after a while.
07:58We'll ride in and have a talk with the sheriff.
08:00We'll get ready.
08:00Just a minute.
08:01You don't mind if I have a couple of weeks sleep, do you?
08:04After all, you two had some sleep.
08:06After thinking it over, I decided to notify the nearest sheriff of my findings.
08:20That's two blues, Porcy.
08:22Raise your half a stack.
08:23Sheriff, can I see you on a...
08:24Don't bother me.
08:25Raise your half stack, and I'll raise your stack, son.
08:28I think you're bluffing, Daniel, so I'm just going to call you.
08:31What do you got?
08:33Now, what's on your mind?
08:35I'd like to see you in your private office.
08:36This is private enough for me.
08:38Coming in, Daniel?
08:39No, sir, I'm cashing in.
08:41Speak up.
08:41What's so important?
08:42I ran into a Judge Morton, a couple of men called Robertson Wolfe, and a little fellow...
08:46Judge Morton?
08:46What's he doing down here?
08:48What do you know him?
08:49Sure.
08:50He's some solid ad.
08:52Old Morton was the judge that sent Curly Evans up for that solid ad bank robbery.
08:55You remember that, don't you, Porcy?
08:57Yeah.
08:58Never did find the gold that Curly stole.
09:01Maybe they're down here looking for it.
09:02Keep quiet, will you?
09:03They say they're looking for a girl.
09:05Judge Morton's daughter.
09:06Why, Judge Morton never had no daughter.
09:08He didn't, huh?
09:09No.
09:09Beat those in the wheat, Sheriff.
09:11Gosh darn it, how can a man concentrate with all this chitter-chatter?
09:15Just what do you want?
09:16I thought it might be a good idea to bring those men in and question them.
09:19Listen, I ain't a question of anybody on your say-so.
09:22Now, get out of here with them crazy ideas and let me finish my game.
09:25Maybe the sheriff's right and we should tend to our own business.
09:33But that fellow said the girl wasn't Morton's daughter, just like you thought.
09:36Yeah, and what about the gold in that, uh, what's his name?
09:39Curly Evans.
09:40I remember hearing about him a couple of years ago.
09:42He stole some gold and hid it away before they caught him.
09:46He's never told where.
09:48Is he still in jail?
09:50I don't know, Lucky.
09:52There are a lot of things I don't know.
09:54For instance, what that little fellow was trying to tell me last night.
09:59Hey, I forgot about him.
10:00Maybe I can get to him before the judge does.
10:17It's like we're too late.
10:27Yeah, the judge must have beat us.
10:28Hurry up.
10:47Well, we are too late.
10:50Uh, it's a knife stuck in his back.
10:53Yeah, and I saw that knife last night, too.
10:56You did?
10:57Well, who's it belong to?
10:59Roberts.
10:59Roberts?
11:00That's what the judge sent him back here for.
11:02He was afraid the little fellow's going to tell me something.
11:05And they killed him to keep him from talking.
11:07Yeah, I guess so, the poor little...
11:09Hey, what's this?
11:12What you make it at me, Hoppy?
11:14It's a map of the devil's playground.
11:16What do you suppose it's for?
11:17I'm not sure yet.
11:19You boys load him on the horse, will you?
11:22Where are we taking him, Hoppy?
11:24The sheriff, as soon as I make a copy of this map.
11:29After taking care of Shorty, I set out following the map.
11:35You know, this little spot on this map's been bothering me.
11:37I wonder...
11:38Oh, Hoppy, forget the map.
11:39That girl's in trouble.
11:40We've got to help her.
11:41Yeah, I know, but we've got to find her first.
11:42That's kind of tall order, ain't it?
11:44Not knowing where she's gone.
11:46Maybe.
11:46Maybe.
11:47But I've got an idea.
11:47She's heading to the same little spot, and that's where we're heading.
11:50What if we meet up with a posse that's out looking for the gal?
11:52I don't think they'll be looking where we're going.
11:54Well, according to this map, we turn left right here.
12:08She certainly makes it tough to try to help her, doesn't she?
12:23Let me take her off.
12:29Let me take her off.
12:45Take it easy, Miss.
12:46Take it easy, Miss.
12:51I hope you didn't hurt your arm, Miss.
12:57I hope you didn't hurt your arm, Miss.
12:59Arms all right.
13:00We had a message to help you.
13:02Message from whom?
13:05Shorty.
13:06Where is he?
13:08I hate to tell you, Miss.
13:09Shorty's dead.
13:10Robert stabbed him.
13:14We had a message to help you.
13:16Message from whom?
13:16Shorty.
13:17Where is he?
13:19I hate to tell you, Miss.
13:20Shorty's dead.
13:21Robert stabbed him.
13:24Look, what?
13:25I'm going to tell you, Miss.
13:28I hate to tell you, Miss, Shorty's dead.
13:31Robert stabbed him.
13:35Oh, no.
13:37Well, you might try trusting us.
13:40Can I trust you?
13:42Well, if you don't, I'm afraid we're not going to be able to help you.
13:46Now, why don't you tell me what this is all about?
13:50How much do you know already?
13:52Well, I'm not sure of anything.
13:54Well, I suspect you're not Judge Morton's daughter.
13:57No.
13:58And I think you know where Curly Evans hid the sound of that gold.
14:01Yes, that's right.
14:03Why didn't Morton try to kill you?
14:06Because I have the only map showing where the gold is hidden.
14:09And Morton wants the gold for himself.
14:12That's a tough spot for a gal to be in.
14:14Not as bad as it sounds.
14:16I have...
14:18Oh, I had Shorty.
14:20He used to guard me in my cradle.
14:23Well, he died for me.
14:26Has Morton ever seen that map?
14:28Nobody has except Shorty.
14:30When I knew Morton was after it, I told Shorty in case something happened to me.
14:33Yeah, and right now, they're in Hoppy's pocket.
14:35That's all right, Lucky.
14:36Then you will help me.
14:38We won't leave you until you're safe and sound in the Sheriff's hands.
14:41But I don't want to go to the Sheriff.
14:42But he's the law here.
14:43He's the one to handle this.
14:45That's what I thought about Judge Morton.
14:46But I was wrong and Curly was right.
14:49That much gold will tempt any man.
14:50Not us.
14:51No, we'll help you bring it out.
14:52We will pop you.
14:53Oh, no, we won't.
14:54That has to be brought out legally.
14:55It belongs to the bank in Soledad.
14:57I was a fool to trust you.
15:02What is your connection with Curly Evans?
15:05Figure it out for yourself.
15:06I finally convinced the girl that I was her friend.
15:14And we set out to follow the map together.
15:21It seemed as though Judge Morton and his men had some ideas of their own.
15:25Come on!
15:36And looks like that girl and them cowboys.
15:47They're probably heading for that gold.
16:06I sent California off at an angle as a decoy.
16:35Well, they swallowed the bait.
16:36Somebody must have beat us to it.
16:49Judge Morton.
16:50I don't think so, but I'll investigate.
16:52Lucky, you stay here and keep your eyes open.
17:03Curly!
17:06Curly, what are you doing here?
17:11Stay where you are!
17:12But it's me.
17:14How did you get out of jail?
17:16I broke out.
17:17But Curly, why?
17:19Because I was tipped off that you were coming here to get the gold.
17:22Of course I was to get your sentence cut.
17:25Now, what are those men doing with you?
17:27They're here to help us.
17:29Help us?
17:30Please, won't you trust me?
17:31I don't trust anybody.
17:34I've taken this gold myself.
17:37I'm going to make sure it gets back to its rightful owners.
17:40Curly, Morton and his men will be here any minute.
17:42That's all right with me.
17:44I've got plenty of ammunition.
17:46And I'll plug the first man that comes near this cave.
17:49I'm going to him.
17:51Curly, I'm coming in.
17:53All right, come on.
17:54But tell those friends of yours not to try any tricks.
17:56Did he believe we're your friends?
18:04No.
18:05He's fat, dead, hunger and thirst.
18:06His lips are bleeding.
18:07I've got to get him some water.
18:20Wait a minute.
18:22I hate to ask you to do this.
18:23But there's only one way we can get him out of there alive.
18:25Will you trust me and do as I say?
18:27Poppy, I'll do anything.
18:28Good.
18:29Walk into the cave.
18:32Stop there.
18:34Curly, she has the water, but she's not bringing it in to you.
18:37You're coming out after it with your hands up.
18:43There's probably no water in that canteen anyway.
18:46Yes, there is.
18:48Show him, miss.
18:49Pour it.
18:50Pour it.
18:50Pour it.
18:55Hey, Hoppy.
19:23What?
19:25Sure, glad you pushed, Hoppy.
19:28I've been going around in circles.
19:29Where's Morton and his men?
19:30Well, I fooled them for a while, but they got wires.
19:32They headed back on the trail.
19:34We'd better get out of here and quick.
19:35Give me a hand with this gold.
19:36Sure.
19:37Gold.
19:38Gold.
19:39We got it.
19:46We headed back to the line shack with Curly and the gold.
19:55The Judge and his men were not long in picking up our trail.
20:02California.
20:03You're lucky.
20:04Get that gold in the shack.
20:05Right.
20:06Take that window over there.
20:07Get over here.
20:08Keep down.
20:09Keep down.
20:10Keep down.
20:11Keep down.
20:12Keep down.
20:13Keep down.
20:14Keep down.
20:15Keep down.
20:16All right, Lucky.
20:17Give him his gun.
20:18He's got ready.
20:21He's got ready.
20:22I'm out of one.
20:23There's a doctor.
20:24There's a couple of people.
20:25There's a good figure.
20:26There's a good figure.
20:27There's a good figure.
20:28What's going on?
20:29There's new figure.
20:30Good figure.
20:31All right.
20:32I don't know if you want to.
20:35They're not impossible.
20:36If you want to put a gun on the ground.
20:37It's a good figure.
20:38If you want to get in there, I'm not too much.
20:40Yes, a good figure.
20:41Oh, I don't have to make sure that I'm given away.
20:42A good figure is a good figure.
20:43Yeah.
20:44It's a good figure.
20:45How many shells you got lucky?
20:55About half a dozen.
20:56How about you, Californian?
20:57There's three, Harvey.
20:58I've got two.
20:59Miss, would you see if there are any shells in that closet?
21:09There's none left.
21:15All through, Harvey.
21:23Here goes our last bullet.
21:31Morton's got nothing.
21:33What are we going to do, Harvey?
21:34Give us that towel over there.
21:45You can't go get the gold.
21:47It's either this or die.
21:48Might sooner die.
21:53We see your flag.
21:55Come out.
21:56But remember, we've got you covered.
22:00Give me that towel.
22:01Right now.
22:02Hurry up.
22:06Get outside with your hands up.
22:08I suppose you understand I can't let any of you live and take chances on being exposed.
22:27Judge, the shack's on fire.
22:28Quick.
22:29Get the gold out.
22:30Get your hands up.
22:31Drop that gun.
22:32I'm surprised that you're losing your head, Judge.
22:33What do you mean?
22:34Forgetting that gold coins don't burn.
22:35Next time I won't miss.
22:36Get the guns, boys.
22:37California, put some water on those blankets.
22:38Hoppy.
22:39It's Daniel and the U.S. Marshal.
22:40The Sheriff had notified the U.S. Marshal after all.
22:41Well, Morton, I see they finally caught up with you.
22:43Curly Evans.
22:44What's up, Judge?
22:45What's up, Judge?
22:46What do you mean?
22:47Forgetting that gold coins don't burn.
22:48What do you mean?
22:49Forgetting that gold coins don't burn.
22:50Next time I won't miss.
22:51Get the guns, boys.
22:52California, put some water on those blankets.
22:53Hoppy.
22:54It's Daniel and the U.S. Marshal.
22:57The Sheriff had notified the U.S. Marshal after all.
23:03Well, Morton.
23:06I see they finally caught up with you.
23:08Curly Evans.
23:09Curly Evans.
23:10So you broke jail, hmm?
23:12Yes, he did, Marshal, but for only one reason.
23:14To return that gold he stole from the bank in Soledad.
23:16I see.
23:17Well, Curly, you've made one step in the right direction.
23:20You'll have to go back to jail, of course,
23:22but I have an idea you'll get time off your sentence for trying to return stolen property.
23:27All right, boys, let's make a move.
23:29Hoppy.
23:30I don't know how to ever thank you.
23:31Well, I enjoy that, and I'm sure California Lucky did, too.
23:34Miss.
23:35How can I ever thank you?
23:39Well, the fact is, miss, there comes a time in every man's life when he, well, he gets kind of lonesome.
23:47Sort of like a homeless maverick.
23:49Oh, well, you must never feel that way.
23:51You always have a home with us.
23:52Us?
23:53Already, Mrs. Evans?
23:54Coming.
23:55Miss.
23:56Miss.
23:57Surprise.
23:58You suspected she was married all the time, didn't you?
24:02No.
24:03Well, let's pack up and get back to bar 20, you homeless little maverick.
24:08Ha, ha, ha, ha.
24:09There he goes, on his way, down the moon that trails and where cowboys reign.
24:21Hop along, Cassidy.
24:23Hop along, Cassidy.
24:25Hop along, Cassidy.
24:26Hop along, Cassidy.
24:27He'll return soon again.
24:40There's no use to say goodbye until then.
24:44Hop along, Cassidy.
24:46Hop along, Cassidy.
24:47Pull over the fuel.
24:48Hop along, Cassidy.
24:49Hop along.
24:50Hop along.
