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.
00:30Hurry up, Ashton, get your stuff in that wagon clear out of here.
00:43Pike, you thieving rat, you and Herman got no right to throw me out of my place like this.
00:48Is that so? We're dispossessing you legal. Marshal Ty deputized us for this job.
00:53Yes, everything he does is legal, leastwise on the surface of it.
00:57Now get going, you own deadbeat.
01:00If Rick was here, he'd kill you for saying that.
01:04I reckon he'd try if he wasn't too busy running from the law.
01:07Your son's worse than you.
01:09Oh, if I only had my gun.
01:11He's got an idea there.
01:14I wouldn't want nobody to ever say that Pike Jennings never give a man a chance.
01:20You do the con, Pop.
01:22When you get the three, reach for that gun.
01:30All set.
01:40One.
01:46Two.
01:50What are you waiting for?
01:51Don't try to pick it up.
01:58I wouldn't reach for that if I were you.
02:00Here, Red.
02:10It's the most brutal setup for murder I've ever seen.
02:13Why, you double-crosser.
02:14Wait a minute.
02:15Put away your gun.
02:16Now, what's wrong here?
02:18We're dispossessing him for not paying his bills or his mortgage.
02:20It ain't so.
02:21It ain't so.
02:22They're cooks and Jason Rands are cooks, and I'm going to...
02:24Now, hold your horses.
02:25Let's find out what this is all about.
02:27Get him to show you the paper I gave him.
02:29Where is it?
02:30Oh, it looks all right.
02:32Jason Rands thought of that.
02:34But I own this property outright.
02:36Well, as much as I'd like to help you, mister, this dispossession paper is in order.
02:41Well, you ain't been around here long.
02:43You don't understand what's behind this.
02:45I can't say that I like it much, but I...
02:47But you can't do anything about it, can you?
02:49Not right at the minute.
02:51But there'll be no more attempts on this man's life.
02:54All right, Red.
02:55Give them their guns.
02:55Now, get out of here.
02:59We'll be back.
03:13Pop, you better be gone or the Marshal himself will tend to you.
03:15Under the circumstances, there wasn't anything Pop could do but leave.
03:29I heard his story.
03:31After being mustered out of the Union Army, he, Tom Rand, and several other Union soldiers
03:36accepted government land grants of 160 acres.
03:40Pop had worked this homestead till his property was clear.
03:42About two years ago, things started going bad.
03:47Cattle stolen, water's poisoned, barns burned down.
03:52It was all having the same trouble, except the rands.
03:56After his old buddies gave up and moved out, Tom bought up their homesteads.
04:01I borrowed money at the bank, but couldn't pay it back.
04:05So Rand bought up their notes.
04:08Tom died kind of sudden-like, and his son Jason kept on grabbing up land.
04:12Last week, he foreclosed on me.
04:15My son Rick lost his temper when the deputy marshal came out to evict us.
04:19Wounded him bad.
04:20Where is Rick now?
04:22Hiding out in the hills.
04:23Ain't much else he can do.
04:25But they'll never take him alive.
04:28Have you got any way of proving that the rands are back of all this trouble you're having?
04:32Well, not exactly.
04:34But Rick said he could prove it.
04:37What are you going to do now?
04:40Well, I got a few dollars or I can get me a place in Union City.
04:44Union City, huh?
04:46Just waiting for a chance to take a pot shot at Rand.
04:50Maybe.
04:57That'd be kind of crazy, wouldn't it, Mr. Ashton?
05:00I'll tell you what we'll do, Pop.
05:02We'll go into town with you, and if you'll promise not to use that gun anymore,
05:06I'll see what I can do to help you.
05:07What do you say?
05:09All right, on your wagon.
05:19When we got to Union City, I sent Red to get us a room
05:21while I headed for Marshal Ty's office.
05:23I'll admit I've had my suspicions about the rand outfit, Mr. Cassidy.
05:31But my hands are tied.
05:33There's no proof.
05:35I understand Rick Ashton thinks he has some proof.
05:38Just wishful thinking.
05:40That boy had better give himself up.
05:42My posse's made three trips into the hills and never got a glimpse of him.
05:46What about these two men that served the dispossession papers?
05:49Jason suggested I use them.
05:51I see.
05:53Well, that kind of ties in with my report on Jason.
05:55I'll admit I need your help, Mr. Cassidy.
05:58And I don't mind telling you.
05:59Rand has made me so uncomfortable.
06:01I'd sell this job for a quarter.
06:03Marshall, if you don't mind, I'm going up in the hills to see if I can't find Rick.
06:07Well, I wish you luck.
06:09There you are, Ty.
06:10That's my man, Mr. Rand.
06:12Marshall, arrest that man.
06:14What for, Jason?
06:15For interfering with my men while they were serving legal papers
06:17and for wounding Herman.
06:19You start anything and I'll have those two gunslingers of yours
06:22locked up for attempted murder.
06:24What's he talking about, Pike?
06:26Oh, he were just having a little fun with the old coot.
06:30Fun?
06:30You have a very peculiar sense of humor, my friend.
06:36See you later, Marshall.
06:42Get off of me and give me back my gun.
06:52Hey!
06:55Hey!
06:57Doggone it, Mr. Conner.
06:58Get off of me and give me back my gun.
06:59What's going on here?
07:01I told him just in time, Hoppy.
07:03He was about to break the New Year's resolution.
07:05Jason again, huh?
07:06When I saw that young no-good coming into town, Mr. Cassidy,
07:10I plum forgot my promise and felt like I was at full room.
07:13Wait a minute.
07:14Give me that gun.
07:15If you don't stop losing your temper every time you turn around,
07:18I'm going to put blanks in this thing.
07:19Now, put it away.
07:21Well, I guess you're right.
07:23What did the marshal say?
07:24Well, he shares your suspicions, but he's got no proof.
07:27I'm going up in the hill and see if I can't find your boy.
07:30Good.
07:30I'll go with you.
07:31You stay right here and behave yourself, will you?
07:33Come on, let's go.
07:35I want to go alone.
07:36You stay here and look after Pop.
07:37Oh, Hoppy, I get tired of playing nursemaid all the time.
08:04Get my bag down, will you, boy?
08:06I'm in a hurry.
08:07Hey, I've seen that female somewhere before.
08:18Well, that's Trixie Brown from Emmett.
08:21We heard her singing the Silver Slipper.
08:24I wonder what she's doing here in Union City.
08:26I don't know.
08:28Wherever you find Trixie, you find trouble.
08:37I followed the directions given me by the marshal.
08:45But after riding through the hills for several hours, I couldn't find a trace of great.
08:49The Silver Slipper
09:02When I was about to give up,
09:19I thought I saw faint tracks and followed them.
09:32All right, that'll be far enough.
09:58I want to talk to you, Rick.
10:00This Winchester's looking right down your throat, mister.
10:03Now you better turn around and head out of here.
10:05I didn't come to harm you. I want to help you.
10:07My name's Cassidy. I just left your father.
10:10He's been dispossessed.
10:13Jason, huh?
10:14Well, I'll take care of him.
10:16Everything will be all right if you just listen to me.
10:19I'm listening.
10:20It'd be healthier for you to get out of here.
10:22You said you could prove some things about Jason Rand.
10:25Why don't you give yourself up and offer some of that proof?
10:28Is that all you got to say?
10:30No, it isn't.
10:32Your father's in town with a friend of mine.
10:34We're looking after him, but he needs your help.
10:37If I show my face in town, the marshal will lock me up.
10:40That'd suit Jason fine.
10:42He's rich now, got power.
10:44Nobody can touch him.
10:45But he ain't gonna live to steal our spread.
10:48I'll see to that.
10:49I'll make a bargain with you, Rick.
10:51Wait for three days before you do anything.
10:54Well, what do you say?
10:58Why should I?
11:00Well, I can't promise too much, but I might be able to do something in that time.
11:05I'll think about it.
11:07Now you'd better get out of here.
11:09All right, but I'll be back in three days.
11:12Tell my father I'm all right.
11:14I will.
11:15But how am I gonna find you again?
11:17Just ride up here.
11:18I'll see you.
11:19Here's some water for you.
11:36Thanks.
11:37When you come back, don't bother to bring anybody with you.
11:41I won't.
11:42See you later, Rick.
11:49I'll see you later, Rick.
12:19No, I couldn't get the kid to come down out of those hills.
12:28He's just about as stubborn as his old man.
12:31What else did he say?
12:32I'll have to tell you the rest of it later.
12:34Come on.
12:36Well, Mr. Cassidy, how are you?
12:38How do you do, Miss Brown?
12:39You're the last person I'd ever expect to meet here.
12:42And Mr. Connors.
12:44Speaking of surprises, what brings you to Union City?
12:47Visiting an old friend.
12:51Hey.
12:57I'll bet they miss you at the silver slipper.
12:59Too bad if they do.
13:00I'm not going back.
13:02Oh?
13:03You found something better?
13:04Decidedly.
13:05I'm coming into some money, Mr. Cassidy.
13:08Sort of an inheritance.
13:09I see.
13:11Goodbye, gentlemen.
13:12Goodbye.
13:14Shall we go?
13:22Gosh, she's pretty.
13:24And dangerous.
13:26I'd still like to know what she's doing here.
13:30Trixian trouble.
13:32Come on.
13:33I'd like to satisfy my curiosity.
13:44She hired that rig to drive out to Jason Ranch.
13:47Now, this may only be a hunch.
13:49But I wish you'd ride over to Emmett and find out what the connection is between her and Jason.
13:53Sure, Hoppy.
13:53I'm good at snooping.
13:59You know, Jason, dear, it makes a person feel good to know they're so welcome.
14:24Of course you are, honey.
14:25Don't ever go back to Emmett's.
14:27Maybe I won't.
14:28I won a little favor, Jason.
14:34Just name it.
14:35$50,000.
14:37A little favor?
14:39It's the amount I need, dear.
14:43What if I should say I couldn't get that much cash together?
14:46I wouldn't believe it.
14:48Perhaps I should tell you how urgent this is.
14:51I mean, urgent for you.
14:53For me?
14:54Remember, I've seen you every time you came to Emmett.
14:57You drank quite a bit.
15:00You talked quite a bit.
15:02And I know quite a bit about that last card game.
15:05Can't get by with any less, eh?
15:17No, dear.
15:18Even though I'm so very fond of you, blackmail is too big a favor to ask, dear.
15:40Pulling that trigger would be the most stupid thing you've ever done, Jason.
15:46I've written down everything I know about you, just in case anything happens to me.
15:52Now, be a good boy.
15:53Put that gun away and fix me another drink.
15:56I admire clever women, Trixie.
16:05It'd be better to have you on my side.
16:08Mm-hmm.
16:19Rick, I brought you some food and water.
16:22Thanks.
16:32I won't be needing it now.
16:34Oh?
16:34Why not?
16:36Time's up.
16:36I'm going after Jason.
16:38I want you to wait till tomorrow.
16:42You hear me?
16:43You're lying.
16:48You did bring somebody with you.
16:51They're not with me.
16:52Hold your cover.
17:01Come on.
17:02Let's get out of here.
17:02I was too far away from the riders to positively identify them, but I thought they were Jason's
17:14two killers.
17:18Rick!
17:21Rick!
17:22I couldn't get another answer from Rick, and I didn't dare try following him.
17:26All right, so I don't know how to fix flowers, but I've got to give the boss something.
17:47I never knew you could be so romantic, Jason.
17:50Well, hello there, Herman, Pike.
17:56Congratulations, ma'am.
17:57We're sure glad you decided to stay a spell.
17:59Oh, thank you, Pike.
18:01Well, this calls for a celebration.
18:03Fix us a drink, will you, honey?
18:05Oh, go on.
18:05You're the lady of the house now.
18:09Oh, these flowers are lovely, Pike.
18:15What happened?
18:16It's all right to talk.
18:18Oh, you had it figured right.
18:19We followed Cassidy.
18:21He talked to Rick from a distance.
18:23And?
18:23Well, we couldn't get a good shot at either of them.
18:28Drinks are on the house, gents.
18:32To you and the missus, boss.
18:34To my luck.
18:35May it never end, especially with such a wonderful wife.
18:39Luck?
18:39I'm the lucky one, Jason, dear.
18:42I never thought I'd have $50,000 all at one time.
18:46Nice wedding present.
18:47You're sweet.
18:51You know, Pike, I hope you get married someday.
18:54It has a lot of advantages for a man.
18:58Yeah, advantages.
19:04Yep.
19:05Jason's been in Emmett often.
19:06Did a lot of drinking and gambling.
19:08They seem pretty friendly with Trixie, too.
19:10Good work, Brad.
19:11That ain't all I found out.
19:13She hinted that she had something on some wealthy person and was going to collect.
19:17Say, she must have known plenty about Jason to get him to marry her.
19:21That's right, Cassidy.
19:22I think I'll go out to the Rand place and offer my congratulations to the bride and groom.
19:26I'll see you later, gentlemen.
19:37I was playing a long shot, but I was sure of one thing.
19:40In dealing with people like Jason and Trixie,
19:43you stand a pretty good chance of using their suspicions to your own advantage.
19:47Mr. Cassidy, come in.
20:16Thank you, Mrs. Rand.
20:19I'm glad you stopped by.
20:21Well, congratulations are in order.
20:23Thanks.
20:24Refreshments?
20:25No, thanks.
20:26Not right now.
20:27Where is the groom?
20:29Well, he rode off with Pike.
20:30Doesn't speak well for a new bride, does it?
20:33Oh, I don't know.
20:34Jason has large holdings.
20:35He has to work very hard to protect them.
20:37Oh, I'll see to that.
20:38I wouldn't want him to lose any of this.
20:41Please sit down.
20:42I shouldn't think you would.
20:44You've done very well.
20:46This is quite an inheritance.
20:48Guess I am lucky.
20:50Wonder what the girls back at the old place would say
20:52if they knew I got a $50,000 wedding present.
20:58What's the matter?
21:00Oh, I was just thinking.
21:03Thinking what?
21:04Thinking maybe you should have cashed that right away.
21:06What do you mean?
21:10Mrs. Rand, sometimes a man will do most anything
21:13until he gets the woman he loves and then...
21:16Oh, but what am I talking about?
21:18Jason isn't that kind of a man.
21:20Of course not.
21:23Besides, it's too late.
21:24The bank is closed.
21:26It does sort of remind me, though,
21:28of a trick that Gus Adams played on his Millie.
21:31Trick?
21:32Yes, it seems that Millie found out
21:35about some shady dealings he'd been in on
21:37and tried to blackmail him.
21:40What happened?
21:42Oh, he gave her a large check.
21:44Then he married her so she couldn't testify against him.
21:49And then, to add insult to injury,
21:52he stopped payment on the check.
21:54Stopped payment on the check?
21:55I forgot, a wife can't testify against her husband, can she?
22:00Oh, no.
22:03What is it, Mrs. Rand?
22:04That dirty, double-dealing murderer.
22:07To think that I was stupid enough
22:09to believe that Jason was ever on the level with anybody.
22:12What are you talking about?
22:13I won't let Jason get away with this.
22:15Nobody plays Trixie for a fool.
22:17I'll tell all I know about him.
22:19A minute ago, you said something about a murderer.
22:22What did you mean by that?
22:23There was a crooked card game in my place over in Emmett.
22:26Jason cheated a man by the name of Caldwell.
22:28Got his 160 acres away from him.
22:31Caldwell's deed and Ashton's place
22:32were the last two strips that Jason needed
22:34to own everything in this county.
22:36He's a crook.
22:38Did, uh, Jason kill this Caldwell?
22:41Yes.
22:41It was hushed up.
22:44Could you give me the names of the people
22:45that were mixed up in this?
22:47I can do better than that.
22:48It's all written down on a piece of paper
22:50in a strong box, locked in my trunk.
22:52I'll show that, Jason.
22:54Nice speech, Mrs. Rand.
22:57Don't reach for a gun, Cassidy.
22:59Come on over here, Trixie.
23:02Please, Jason.
23:04Don't kill me.
23:05All right, come on outside.
23:19All right, Marshal, they're all yours.
23:49I sure appreciate you getting my homestead back from you, Harvey.
24:15Ah, you'll be all right now, Pop.
24:17Trixie's silent testimony will convict Rand
24:19and break up his crooked empire.
24:21Thanks for getting the Marshal to drop that charge against me.
24:24You thank the Marshal yourself.
24:26It was his idea.
24:27Don't you forget, Pop.
24:29Keep that New Year's resolution.
24:31For at least an hour.
24:32So long.
24:34So long.
24:43Hi there, little partners.
24:45I understand there's been quite a little talk around your house lately
24:49about going to bed.
24:50Now, I know that we all hate to go to bed.
24:55We're always so afraid we're going to miss something.
24:58But you must get a lot of sleep.
25:01And the time to go to bed
25:02is when your mommy or your daddy tell you to.
25:05Not 15 minutes later or 20 minutes later
25:09or not one or two television shows later
25:12but right now.
25:14I'll see you next week.
25:17Until then, get lots of good sleep, will you?
25:21Good night.
25:24There he goes
25:26On his way
25:27Down the moon that trails
25:29Where cowboys reign
25:32Hop along, Cassidy
25:35Hop along, Cassidy
25:39He'll return
25:41Soon again
25:42There's no use to say goodbye
25:45Until then
25:47Hop along, Cassidy
25:50So long, hop along
25:53Day
26:01And
26:11Goかな
26:13And
26:14Get
