00:01Here he comes! Here he comes!
00:04There's the truppets, there's the drums!
00:06Here he comes!
00:09Hump along Cassidy, here he comes!
00:15Oooooooooooooo!
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Oh, my God.
01:30Oh, my God.
01:59I might have stopped somebody getting killed.
02:01I wish we'd have had a good look at them.
02:03Well, the one riding bareback looked like an Indian.
02:06I ain't so sure, Hoppy, but I think I saw him on the bar 20 this morning.
02:09On the bar 20?
02:10Yeah.
02:11I hollered at him.
02:12He took off like a scared jackrabbit.
02:14You're right all near the town and get the supplies.
02:16I'll meet you there.
02:16I'm going to see if I can't pick up a trail.
02:18Don't you want me to go with you?
02:20I think I can manage.
02:21Somehow.
02:23Oh, Hoppy.
02:24I didn't have much hope in picking up a trail, but thought it was worth a try, especially
02:42after seeing how determined those gunmen were to shoot the bareback rider.
02:46Also, Red's remark about thinking he'd seen the boy on the bar 20 increased my interest.
02:50I wondered why he'd been hanging around and why he'd ridden off in such a hurry when noticed.
03:20The hotline of the fair one is very strong.
03:38I see happiness in store for you and many children.
03:43Your lifeline is long.
03:45You will live many years.
03:46I will read your destiny in one moment, fral.
03:52Fral?
03:53That means friend.
03:55Oh, well, I don't know, I guess.
03:56Wait.
03:58The tall one you spoke of who rides the bay horse will ask you to marry him.
04:02That is all Mother Kiyomi sees for you.
04:05So that bad luck will not overtake you, you must cross my palm with silver.
04:13And now for you.
04:14Well, I ain't got much time, I, but...
04:17You are afraid your friends will see you?
04:19Do not be ashamed.
04:21I have read the palm for many wise men, just like you.
04:26Sit down.
04:27Well, maybe just a quick look.
04:30You have a very interesting palm.
04:33I do?
04:34Yes.
04:35You are a bachelor, and you eat much.
04:39How did you know that?
04:40It's in your hand.
04:42I see you and a man on a white horse, riding to a strange adventure.
04:47I must talk quickly.
05:00You tell Fral Cassidy he must ride two miles north of town.
05:04He will find a sign.
05:05What are you talking about?
05:07Why should I tell you?
05:08Shh, quiet.
05:09Deliver my message.
05:10And say to him,
05:12Calvato.
05:12Good things will come to you.
05:18I see love in your heart line.
05:21To keep the evil spirits away, you must cross my palm with silver.
05:25Oh.
05:26There you are.
05:27I sure don't want to get into any trouble.
05:30A thousand things.
05:32Remember what Kiyomi has said to you.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Red sheepishly admitted he hadn't bought the supplies.
06:01He'd wasted his time having his fortune told.
06:03He started telling me what the old gypsy woman said.
06:08When he said I was to ride two miles north of town where I'd find a sign,
06:12I didn't take much stock in it.
06:16But when he mentioned the name Calvato,
06:18it struck a responsive chord in my memory.
06:21I wanted to talk to the gypsy woman at once.
06:24Red said she was sitting right over there.
06:29The fortune teller was gone.
06:30Red mentioned the man she'd seemed afraid of.
06:33He too had disappeared.
06:36I told Red to mount up we'd get the supplies later.
06:39But I could never head.
08:47You cool?
08:48Let's get out of here.
08:49Let's get out of here.
09:19I saw the gypsy sign.
09:24A piece of cloth signifying there was a message nearby.
09:27I knew what we'd find near that bush.
09:42I showed it to red.
09:43The twigs pointing to the right indicated a turn in that direction.
09:51If the long side of the twigs were to the left, I would have turned that way.
09:54The three stones told another message.
09:57The first stone was a larger one.
10:00It meant I would be received as a friend.
10:03If this stone were smaller than the other two, it would mean danger.
10:07The two stones farthest to the right designated a distance of two miles to be traveled before I reached my destination.
10:12Let's do this.
10:24Let's do this.
10:25Red expected all kinds of trouble.
10:45He thought if anyone wanted to see us so badly, they should be there to welcome us.
10:49However, I had an idea the gypsies were near and would soon show themselves.
10:55Let's go.
11:19Harvey.
11:20Hey, wait a minute.
11:23Although Mother Kayome had talked to Red before, I introduced them formally.
11:27Then we met Artera and the girl Morella.
11:35Artera was the son of Calvato, the man suspected of the Wells Fargo robbery.
11:39For the past seven years, the boy had been in bondage to Lasho, king of the Bahara tribe.
11:44According to their laws, he had to work out his bondage to pay for the disgrace his father had brought upon the tribe.
11:51Two weeks ago, Artera became of age. He ran away with Morella and the old woman.
11:56Morella and Artera were to be married, but they couldn't enter into a marriage ceremony until the boy cleared his father's name.
12:03My father did not steal the $30,000. Before he died, he whispered to Mother Kayome that he'd taken the money from the real robber.
12:10And he intended to return it to the rightful owners.
12:13Artera's father could not tell me much, except that the money was buried on your property and that he had left a sign.
12:21Did he have any idea who it was?
12:24He did not live long enough to give me a name.
12:28Mother Kayome and I violated tribal laws, running away with Artera.
12:32But I would rather die under King Lasho's whip than to be separated from Artera.
12:37You will help us.
12:39Of course I will.
12:41You knew my father?
12:43I knew him very well.
12:44He was a good man. He did not steal.
12:46We will find you gold and I will return it to you Wells Fargo Company.
12:49Doggone it, Artera. Why haven't you done something about this before?
12:53Randy's already told you these people live according to their own laws.
12:57And where is King Lasho and the rest of your tribe now?
13:00Many miles from here. A five-day ride.
13:03And who were those two men you were running away from this morning?
13:06I do not know. They followed us soon after we left.
13:09I will keep an eye on them.
13:11We have only this knife for protection.
13:13We have not even built a fire to cook our food, for fear the smoke would betray our camp.
13:17For how long since you had?
13:20Two days.
13:22Two days? Without food?
13:26I'm afraid my friend couldn't stand that.
13:29You better hook up your horses and come over to my place. You can cook and eat there.
13:32Oh, for our Cassidy.
13:34Sure, you might just as well since you'll be on the bar 20 hunting for the money anyway.
13:37Hey, by the way, Artera, didn't I see you on the bar 20 this morning?
13:42Yes, but you see, I was just...
13:43Come on, Brad. Come on.
13:44Come on.
13:48Come on, Brad.
13:49Yes!
13:52Come on...
13:53Come on.
13:54Come on where you go?
13:57Came on.
13:58Did it?
14:00No.
14:04No.
14:06The problem is
14:09I have some potatoes.
14:21A little more there.
14:23Just a smidgen.
14:25More potatoes, Mose.
14:27Them gypsies sure have funny notions, don't they?
14:30Well, they might seem funny to you.
14:31Not a goodie did to bring them over here.
14:34Well, they figure so long as Artera has a spell on him,
14:37they'd bring them bad luck if they came into the house.
14:38Bad luck or good luck didn't affect her appetites any.
14:41Nor yours either.
14:44I'm going over and see Mother Kaomi.
14:47I haven't the slightest idea what kind of a sign she's looking for to find that money.
14:50Come on.
14:51Be with you as soon as Fancy.
14:52If they don't finish you.
15:02After custody.
15:03You feel better?
15:04Yes, thank you.
15:05This hot food does much for us.
15:07That's good.
15:08Where's Mother Kaomi?
15:10In the wagon.
15:11She wished to consult her cards.
15:13She thinks it will help her to find the gold.
15:16We sure need something.
15:17The cards tell me nothing.
15:32Ah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
15:34About finding a sign that may indicate where that money is hidden.
15:37There must be a curse upon us.
15:39Oh, but there can't be.
15:41You're only trying to right a wrong.
15:42You have great wisdom, Frau Cassidy.
15:46Tomorrow morning I'm going to send Red out with you.
15:48I want you to search every tree and every rock.
15:50Colbato must have left a sign that you can understand.
15:54We will do as you bid.
15:55But are you not coming with us?
15:57I'll be riding nearby.
15:58I still have an idea that those men will be around watching every move you make.
16:01But we are on your property.
16:04A few fences won't stop those killers.
16:06You are a good man.
16:08The blessings of our people will be upon you.
16:11For two days I circled about keeping an eye open for those gunslingers.
16:22They were around all right.
16:23I never saw them, but did cross their trail.
16:34They had been joined by a third man whose horse left a peculiar track.
16:38Then I found a campsite where they'd bedded down.
16:42That third man was really unusual.
16:46This was where and how he slept.
17:08Hey, Hoppy!
17:11Hoppy!
17:13We just found something buried.
17:15What was it?
17:15It was a knife.
17:16Oh, he said it belonged to his father.
17:18Any sign of the gold?
17:19No, not yet, but I've dug so many holes.
17:21I'm beginning to feel like a gopher.
17:24You're beginning to look like one, too.
17:26Come on!
17:26I would know that dagger a hundred years later.
17:36He is right.
17:37The dagger was Calvato's.
17:39I've seen it many times.
17:41You find any other sign?
17:42Nothing.
17:44Well, we'd better keep working.
17:45Fortunately, I stumbled onto something the others had missed.
17:58The tree had grown in seven years,
18:00but there on the bark were faint marks,
18:02which carried around the tree.
18:05Hey, look at this!
18:06I showed the gypsies the outline
18:13Calvato must have cut in the bark
18:15when he buried the money.
18:16Mother Kayomi excitedly interpreted the sign at once.
18:20The gold was buried under the tree, all right,
18:23but on the opposite side.
18:33You hit on something.
18:36At last, I can return this money
18:56and save our names from disgrace.
18:58Oh, Tara, I'm so happy for you.
19:00We'd better get this gold back to the house and count it.
19:03To be sure, but it is all there.
19:04Calvato would not take one coin.
19:07Well, let's get her in the wagon.
19:09Yeah, and we'd better keep our eyes open
19:10for those three men, too.
19:11Yes.
19:13Three men?
19:14That's right.
19:15Another man joined them.
19:16Did you see him?
19:17No, I didn't, but I have an idea who he was.
19:19Well, but who was?
19:20Now, don't ask questions.
19:22Remember, gypsies don't accuse anyone
19:24unless they're real sure.
19:25You will go with me to the Wells Fargo Company?
19:29No, not just yet.
19:31But I do not understand.
19:33But, Tara, just taking the gold back
19:35isn't going to clear your father's name.
19:36But I will tell them the truth.
19:38He did not steal it.
19:39I know, I know, and they'll thank you for your honesty.
19:41But how are you going to prove
19:42he didn't steal the money in the first place?
19:44He is right, Artaro.
19:45We still could not take the marriage powers.
19:47What shall I do?
19:50I think the first thing we'd better do
19:51is get out of this open country of that gold.
19:53Then I have an idea how I can clear your father's name.
19:56Good.
20:05We gave the gypsies plenty of supplies,
20:07then loaded the boxes and sent them on their way
20:09with our best wishes.
20:17As they drove off,
20:22Red and I hoped we were being watched.
20:23Red and I hoped we were being watched.
21:53Hold it.
22:23These are pretty heavy.
22:29They can't all be filled with gold.
22:31Better send him back here.
22:32You keep your eye on the gypsies.
22:36Jeff wants you.
22:37They've got three boxes here.
22:44Which one of them's got the gold?
22:46They're all heavy.
22:48These one here and in the middle.
22:51Get your hands up.
22:54Get on off that horse.
22:56Get on here.
23:00Get over.
23:00I had an idea you were the one back of this.
23:14You hired these two gunnies here to follow this boy around so you could get your hands on this gold again.
23:19Isn't that right?
23:20Yes.
23:21There were only three people that knew anything about where this gold was or what kind of a box it was in.
23:25The Wells Fargo Company, this boy's father and you.
23:29When you came in here and picked out the right box, I knew you were the one that originally stole it.
23:33And just to make you feel real good, there's no gold in any of the boxes.
23:37They're filled with rocks.
23:38So you stole the money and killed my father.
23:43Well, the old fool, he want to return it.
23:45So I killed him when he refused to tell me where he hid it.
23:48Wait a minute, Artero.
23:50We'll let the law take care of him.
23:53Yes, Frau Custy.
23:56All right, get on your horses.
24:01Goodbye.
24:03Goodbye, Red.
24:04I hope you can come to the wedding festival.
24:06We're going to try to.
24:06Thank you for everything.
24:09To try, Frau.
24:11And a long life to you, Mother Kyle.
24:12Yes, goodbye, Fran.
24:14Friend.
24:16Goodbye.
24:17Goodbye.
24:18Goodbye.
24:18Goodbye.
24:23Hey, Hoppy.
24:24Yeah?
24:24How did you know the third member of that gang was a gypsy?
24:27I found where he slept.
24:28Oh, yeah.
24:31I don't understand.
24:32They're very superstitious people.
24:34When they sleep on the ground, they put little twigs all around them.
24:37Keeps the evil spirits away.
24:39Oh, yeah.
24:42I don't understand.
24:43Come and get it!
24:45That you understand, don't you?
24:47Let's get it.
24:47Hi, there, friends.
24:55You know, sometimes a smile will buy things that money can't buy.
25:00But there's something pretty important that goes with that smile.
25:03Good teeth.
25:04A lot of people worry about going to the dentist.
25:08Remember that he's just as nice a guy as any other guy, and he wants to help you.
25:13So go and see him at least once a year.
25:15Maybe twice a year.
25:18Brush your teeth good twice every day, too.
25:20Will you do that for me?
25:21There he goes, on his way, down the moon the trail to where Cowboys ran.
25:34Hop along, Cassidy.
25:37Hop along, Cassidy.
25:40He'll return soon again.
25:43There's no use to say goodbye until then.
25:46Hop along, Cassidy.
25:51So long, hop along.
