00:00Here he comes, here he comes, there's the trumpets, there's the drums, here he comes,
00:09Pop-a-lot cassidy, here he calls
00:19Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
00:24An odd series of circumstances happened recently.
00:30They began one morning when Red Connard, my partner and I, rode out to locate some stray cattle.
00:35Sometime during the night they had wandered away from our ranch, the bar 20.
00:39We spotted them in a draw, and being in a hurry, we split up.
01:09Red was still out like a light when I got him home to the Bar 20.
01:38I sent one of the men to Twin Rivers to bring the doctor.
01:42I realized that even a slight concussion can be dangerous, and being plenty fond of Red, I had reason to worry.
02:08Hello, Hoppy.
02:26Hi, Doc.
02:26What's this I hear about Red?
02:28It seems pretty bad to hurt, I guess.
02:30Well, I'd like to wash my hands first before I get in.
02:32Go right in the kitchen now.
02:33There's a basin.
02:52All right, Hoppy.
02:52Where's the patient?
02:53He's gone.
03:09What?
03:10You wait right here.
03:11According to Gus, the ranch hand, Red had dashed out and headed into the hills.
03:27But when, after 24 hours, Red failed to return to the Bar 20, I decided to find him.
03:31Anything on the Thomas woman?
03:56She's doing on the stage today.
03:57You'll meet it, of course.
04:00Naturally.
04:01Just as we planned.
04:02Leave the details to me.
04:03Well, I can't help worrying a bit, knowing how important it is to us to get control of his mind.
04:08It looks like that vein of copper runs straight through from here to my property.
04:11It's to our mutual advantage to operate the two under one management.
04:14But we're blocked until you obtain full title.
04:17I got Thomas out of the way for opposing it.
04:18I can do the same for his sister.
04:22Yeah, that explosion was, was a loo-loo.
04:24Very neat.
04:25Well, he wouldn't listen to me.
04:27You know what an upset that cuss Judd was.
04:28I was just his partner.
04:30But assistant Arena is supposed to be the same way.
04:32Then it'll be her hard luck.
04:34I've been riding for a couple of days following Red's Trail.
04:58It led across two counties and into a third.
05:00I've been riding for a while.
05:30I've been riding for a while.
06:00How do you do, miss?
06:12Everything all right?
06:13Thanks, stranger.
06:14We're all right here.
06:15All right, on your way.
06:17Yeah, sure, baby.
06:18When I had satisfied myself that nobody on the stagecoach had been hurt, I had decided to talk to the wounded highwaymen.
06:26They were dead.
06:28The stagecoach wasn't carrying gold or anything of value.
06:31So the attempted hold-up didn't make sense.
06:35Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to follow it into the town of Broken Wheel.
06:39Well, well, howdy, howdy, folks.
06:52Howdy.
06:53What kind of trip did you have?
06:54Well, everything was all right until we got out here a little ways and then some outlaws tried to hold us up.
07:00Well, did they get anything?
07:01Nope.
07:02Don't even know what they were looking for.
07:03Wasn't it exciting?
07:04If we get too much of that kind of excitement out here, miss, personal, I'll tell you, nice and quiet.
07:10I sure would like to know who it was who drove them off.
07:16That shouldn't be hard to find out.
07:18Here he comes right now.
07:23So it is.
07:24Thanks, mister, for helping us out.
07:33Glad to help.
07:35Say, ain't you help alone, Cassidy?
07:38That's right.
07:39Well, sure, Harvey, I should have known.
07:42You were magnificent.
07:44I've heard of things like this happening in the West, but I never expected to witness them.
07:48This your first trip out here?
07:50Yes, I came out to claim my late brother's estate, a copper mine.
07:53Say, you must be Miss Thomas, Judd's sister.
07:57Yes.
07:58Judd and me were mighty good friends.
08:00We were sorry about him being killed in that explosion.
08:03It was a terrible shock to me.
08:06I want to thank you again for saving our lives, Mr. Cassidy.
08:09I'd be pleased to have you called.
08:11Thank you very much.
08:12I might do that, miss.
08:15What are you doing down this neck of the woods, Hoppy?
08:17I'm looking for my sidekick.
08:19Red Connors?
08:20Yeah.
08:21You haven't seen him around here, have you?
08:22Nope.
08:23Ask the sheriff.
08:24He knows if anybody does.
08:25That's just where I was heading.
08:26See you later.
08:27I can see something went wrong.
08:47You can say that again.
08:48Both of my men are dead.
08:50A stranger interfered.
08:51A stranger?
08:52Where did he come from?
08:53He rode up just as we're closing on the stage.
08:56Clem got it from the stage guard.
08:57A stranger got Joe.
08:59So, what now?
09:01I wish I knew.
09:03If we could have made it look like Noreen Thomas was the victim of a holdup,
09:05that would have settled it.
09:06No questions asked.
09:07Now it's going to be tough.
09:09I think it's a good idea for us to be seen together.
09:23Get in there.
09:24Get in there.
09:29Come on in.
09:33What is this, senor?
09:34What do you want?
09:36Allow me.
09:37I am Don Diego, Colorado.
09:41Fresh out of food and water for myself and my oars.
09:44There's plenty of fresh water in the stream about a hundred yards from here.
09:47Gracias, senor.
09:49And the food?
09:50You left to go up to the cook shack near the mine about a quarter of a mile up the canyon.
09:54Oh, just a moment, mister.
09:56You don't look or talk like any Spanish down to me.
10:02But I assure you I come from a long line of dons,
10:05original settlers of the West Sea,
10:07once all this land belonged to my ancestors.
10:10Yeah?
10:11Well, you go up to the mine like I told you.
10:13Hold on.
10:15Make yourself comfortable for a moment, senor Colorado.
10:19I'd like to talk to you in the other room, Roger.
10:21If you'll excuse us, senor.
10:26That guy's as loony as a coot.
10:32I know that.
10:34But I've got an idea that might do just what we want.
10:51Hello, Mr. Endicott.
10:53Sorry to disturb you, Miss Thomas, but something important has come up.
10:56I figured since we're partners in the mine, you ought to know about it.
10:59This is Don Diego, Colorado.
11:01At your service, senorita.
11:02How do you do?
11:03Won't you sit down?
11:10You were saying, Mr. Endicott.
11:12As I explained to you the other day,
11:14since your brother died, our mine has been operating on a losing basis.
11:17Personally, I feel if we could get an offer, then we ought to sell out.
11:20And Mr. Colorado wants to make such an offer?
11:23Oh, no, senorita.
11:24I have no money.
11:26Besides, why should I buy what already belongs to me?
11:29What already belongs to you, but I don't...
11:31That's why I brought Don Diego, Colorado, to you.
11:34He showed up a couple of days ago
11:35and claimed to own all the land around here.
11:37A friend of mine investigated.
11:39Dug up this.
11:46I can't read this.
11:47It's in Spanish.
11:48What does it mean?
11:50That piece of parchment says the Colorado family
11:52got a grant of land from the King of Spain.
11:54Oh, that's ridiculous.
11:56That's what I tried to tell him.
11:58But if he should decide to sue and get a court injunction,
12:00he could tie up operations for years, maybe.
12:03Si, even months.
12:04I don't know what this nonsense is about,
12:07but I'm not giving up the copper queen with...
12:09Yes.
12:10I don't care.
12:12I don't care.
12:13I don't care.
12:14최 speard, dude.
12:16I don't care.
12:19I don't care.
12:21I don't care.
12:21So, you're not that big.
12:24What do you think?
12:25I don't care.
12:26You're not a generation.
12:28I don't care.
12:30You're unarmament.
12:32I don't care.
12:34Oh, you're on king.
12:35That's what I said.
12:35OK, sure, no, God.
12:39miss thomas i don't know whether you remember me oh yes of course mr cassidy it's so nice to see
12:59you again uh won't you come in thank you i was riding by when i saw a horse out there
13:05belonged to a friend of mine oh then you know these gentlemen i know this one in fact i've
13:09been looking all over the state for him uh mr endicott mr cassidy how are you haven't i seen
13:17you someplace before i don't think so i'm miss thomas's partner i see well red you sure had me
13:26on the go searching for you searching for me why were you searching for me senor allow me cassidy
13:33this is don diego colorado of one of the oldest spanish families in the west
13:38this is done
13:42say what is this this man is red connors he's worked for me for years
13:55that right red you're mistaken senor never before in all my life have i seen you
14:01don diego has proof of his identity he has he brought this here he claims that our copper mine
14:11is on his land
14:12this thing is a forgery you of course are an authority on parchment documents
14:29i don't have to be sure it's written on parchment but any parchment dating back to the 1600s would be
14:36so brown and brittle you couldn't even read it i don't think you have to worry about red taking away
14:43your mine property but i would keep my eyes open if i were you i'll take your advice mr cassidy
14:52well red the long way is home you still insist we are friends amigo yeah but that can change any
15:01minute if you don't come along quietly all right i give in but first i have a souvenir in my saddle
15:09pack for the senorita i will get it a souvenir for me but mr colorado please think nothing of it
15:14let's take another look at this
15:25red red come back here
15:39your friendship appears to be entirely one-sided cassidy
15:44i'd better get back to the mine miss thomas when you get more rested up we'll go over the books
15:49very well but remember one thing mr endicott my brother lost his life for that mine
15:55and i have no intention of letting it slip through my fingers
15:59neither have i hope your luck holds out
16:03thanks
16:04you don't suppose those two are trying to put something over on us
16:09what reason could they have they don't know anything about the mine
16:12i can't answer that right off but if the one is hop along cassidy i've heard he's cagey like a fox
16:17yeah maybe so but the one we know is don colorado is strictly a loon
16:20all of which gets us exactly no points
16:22it's him again cassidy

16:48yeah
16:52yeah
16:58yeah
17:04yeah
17:06yeah
17:10yeah
17:12Now what?
17:17I'll tell you later.
17:18Help me get him up to your powder house.
17:20Here.
17:21I hope you know what we're doing.
17:23I do.
17:25After hearing Noreen's story,
17:27I knew that the answer to her problem
17:28must be up at the mine.
17:42I still don't get it.
17:46All right, let me put it this way.
17:47We've got Red or Don Colorado,
17:49whatever he wants to call himself, right?
17:51Go on.
17:51All right, so we keep him under lock and key
17:53until we get rid of the girl.
17:55Then we turn him loose
17:56and let him take the raft for the murder.
17:57So what's our first move?
17:58Soon as we get back to your office,
18:00I'll go after the girl.
18:01To bring her here?
18:02No.
18:04You'll be waiting on the Goose River Trail.
18:12The office of the Copper Queen
18:30appeared deserted
18:30with not even a horse in sight.
18:42I saw evidence of a struggle
18:47but had no idea
18:48concerning the reason
18:49or the people involved.
18:53I knew that gun
18:54as well as I did my own.
18:56It was Red's.
19:06Hello, Cassidy.
19:08Still looking for your bosom pal, I see.
19:10I think I've found him.
19:12At least I know he's been here.
19:14Where is he, Endicott?
19:16Don't ask me.
19:17You saw him the last time I did.
19:19And if I remember rightly,
19:21he was trying to get away from you.
19:22He's been here since then.
19:25That's how I know.
19:27All right, he came here
19:29and showed us some ridiculous land grant.
19:31And when we laughed at his claim to our minds,
19:33he made a play for his gun,
19:34so we took it away from him.
19:35Who are you?
19:36My name's Hobart.
19:38Not that it's any of your business.
19:41I've got to get over to the mine.
19:42I'll see you again in a couple of days.
19:44Yeah, do that.
19:47I wish I could help you locate your friend, Cassidy.
19:49In his mental state,
19:50he could do something mighty bad
19:51and never know it.
19:53It's dangerous for him to be on the loose.
19:55It really is.
19:56Yeah.
19:56Hey, uh,
20:06do you mind if I take a look at your mind?
20:08Help yourself.
20:09All right.
20:10It was nice of you to ride all the way into town to get me.
20:19Certainly hope Endicott isn't badly hurt.
20:21Quite serious, Miss Thomas.
20:22Otherwise, it wouldn't have bothered you.
20:23By a strange coincidence,
20:44for the second time that day,
20:46I spotted Red's horse.
20:47the whole affair was falling into a sinister pattern.
20:55Red!
20:56Red!
20:58Hoppy!
20:59Hoppy, get me out of here!
21:01Red, I'm in the powder house!
21:04Hurry up and get me out of here!
21:08You all right?
21:09What's taking you so long?
21:11Red remembered nothing
21:28between the time he fell off his horse
21:30and his regaining his full faculties
21:32in the powder house.
21:34He thought I was making up the tale
21:36about Don Diego, Colorado.
21:38About the only concrete evidence
21:40was a very sore head.
21:43In the excitement of the escape,
21:44Red almost forgot a detail
21:46of extreme importance,
21:47the plan of Hobart and Endicott
21:49to murder Noreen Thomas.
21:51Red had no idea
21:52who any of the people were
21:53or why the murder was to be done.
21:55Fortunately, he did remember
21:57the killing was to take place
21:58on the Goose River Trail.
22:00I knew a shortcut to that rugged location.
22:02I had come from there earlier in the day.
22:10I was vastly relieved to see Endicott
22:30making fast time
22:31over the Goose River Trail.
22:33If we could overtake him
22:34before he met Hobart and Noreen,
22:36there was hope for the girl.
22:37Without knowing the details,
22:39Red understood the danger.
22:40Seconds became a lifetime.
22:42I have come from there.
22:43I have come from there.
22:43I have come from there.
22:44I have come from there.
22:44I have come from there.
22:45I have come from there.
22:47I have come from there.
22:47I have come from there.
22:48I have come from there.
22:49I have come from there.
22:50I have come from there.
22:50I have come from there.
22:51I have come from there.
22:52I have come from there.
22:52I have come from there.
22:53I have come from there.
22:54I have come from there.
22:55I have come from there.
22:55I have come from there.
22:56I have come from there.
22:57I have come from there.
22:58I have come from there.
22:59I have come from there.
23:00I have come from there.
23:01I have come from there.
23:02I have come from there.
23:03I have come from there.
23:04Yes!
23:34Stay here with the girl.
23:38Get out of here!
24:04Get on your feet.
24:10You still want that Spanish grass, Don Diego, Colorado? I have it remembered.
24:15Oh, Miss Thomas, what would an Irishman named Connor do with a Spanish grass?
24:20You never can tell me.
24:22I have a Spanish grass.
24:24You still want that Spanish grass, Don Diego, Colorado? I have it remembered.
24:28Oh, Miss Thomas, what would an Irishman named Connor do with a Spanish grass?
24:32Spanish grass.
24:33You never can tell, Red. We'll be heading for Mexico pretty soon.
24:36There might be a dark-eyed senorita.
24:39All I want is to get back to the Bar 20 and sleep for about two weeks.
24:43Goodbye, Miss.
24:44Goodbye, Red.
24:45Goodbye.
24:47I had hoped you'd stick around. I'm going to need a man to run the mine.
24:51Oh, I think you'll find plenty of men that can handle that.
24:55What about you?
24:56No, I'm afraid not.
24:58I don't know what I'd do without Topper back here,
25:01and I'm sure he can't use a pick and shovel.
25:03Goodbye.
25:04Goodbye.
25:05Goodbye.

25:11There he goes, on his way, down the moonma trail to where Cowboys race.
25:13There he goes, on his way, down the moonlet trail to where Cowboy's Ray.
25:32Hop along, Cassidy, hop along, Cassidy, he'll return soon again.
25:43There's no use to say goodbye until then.
25:48Hop along, Cassidy, so long, hop along.
