00:00.
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00I don't think we're going to have any trouble scaring them homesteaders out.
01:28All you have to do is to point a gun at them and they'll run like jackrabbits.
01:33You're wasting your time, Dad.
01:36The only way to get rid of them land grabbers is to riddle their hides.
01:41Clay, some of these days that itchy trigger finger of yours is going to get you into a heap of trouble.
01:49I don't want to hear any more of this killer talk.
01:53The men elected me as head of the cattlemen's association because they believed in my advice.
01:59And we're going to handle this thing like real men.
02:32I wonder what that was.
02:37Might be another one of those threats.
02:42Careful now.
02:43You open the door, Joel.
02:44Well, read just the same as the rest of them.
03:02Your last warning.
03:04Get out of Paradise Valley before sundown.
03:06Who is it?
03:13It's Bruce Manning.
03:15I'm glad it's you, Marshal.
03:22We just received another one of those warnings.
03:29Have you been able to find out anything?
03:32You know we're with our rights.
03:34I know you are, Maul.
03:36But tracing a note like this ain't easy.
03:39Any one of the ranches in the whole valley could have written it.
03:43They're all together in this movement to run you homesteaders out.
03:46I reckon if Lem Morgan could be ready to speak, we might find out something.
03:51Now don't be too hasty, Maul.
03:54While Morgan is dead set against you, he generally deals out in the open.
03:58I don't see why there should be so much trouble.
04:01There's plenty of land here for everybody.
04:03And the few acres we have shouldn't cause any hard feeling.
04:07I should think this could be settled in a friendly way.
04:12I have to pass Morgan's ranch on my way back to town.
04:16I'll drop in and have another talk with him.
04:19Thanks.
04:24Don't worry, Maul.
04:25Everything will be all right.
05:33What does it say, Dad?
05:56Ah, don't mean a thing, son.
05:59I don't know.
05:59There we go.
05:59There we go.
07:12Well, there's another homesteader that won't settle in Paradise Valley.
07:16Yeah.
07:56What happened? What's wrong?
08:00I don't know.
08:03We ran into a sign down the road to turn back.
08:11When we refused, they opened fire on us from ambush.
08:17They were murderers. They shut down my boys.
08:27We didn't have it, sir.
08:38Are you here to be friendly with people who deliberately come into this valley and steal my land?
08:43Ain't your land. It belongs to the government.
08:48Mo Potter's right, Mr. Morgan. Paradise Valley ain't free range anymore.
08:53The government's declared it closed range, and anybody with a government lease is free to come in here and settle.
09:04Come on. We're wasting our time here. Let's be going.
09:10I'm warning you that you're making a mistake.
09:12You can't bust the government.
09:14And that's what you'll be doing if you raise a hand against these homesteaders.
09:18Looks like me and my future son-in-law are going to tango.
09:34Mr. Morgan, I have no personal feelings in this matter. I don't make the law. I'll do it.
09:39If the law fails us, we'll give bullet for bullet before we'll run.
09:54You have my word.
10:09It looks like we're on opposite sides of the fence, Ann.
10:12Bruce, is Dad really in the wrong?
10:13Yes, Ann, he is.
10:15Times are changing, and your father can't realize it.
10:17Meddling with the government is serious business.
10:19If fighting your father means fighting you, I'd rather turn in my store.
10:21Bruce, you mustn't do that.
10:23Well, that would look as if you were...
10:24I know I'd be resigning under fire, running away.
10:25And even if I did hand in my store, it wouldn't do any good.
10:26The government would send in another man.
10:27Let's not give up hope, Bruce.
10:28Hope so.
10:29They're coming out the...
10:30They're coming out the...
10:31Yes, sir.
10:35Please, you must have a man.
10:36I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
10:37You're going to have a man.
10:38I'm sorry.
10:39But the government is serious business.
10:40I'm sorry, but the government is serious business.
10:42If fighting your father means fighting you, I'd rather turn in my store.
10:44I'd rather turn in my store.
10:45Bruce, you mustn't do that.
10:46That would look as if you were...
10:47I know I'd be resigning under fire, running away.
10:49I hope so.
11:19Hey, that's terrible, come on, fire it up, make it lively, make it lively, come on, let's go on.
11:39Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
12:02Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
12:22Hello, Morgan, have a drink?
12:29Have a drink?
12:32You fellas smell something around here?
12:35Yeah.
12:36I thought so.
12:40Listen, Morgan, and we be friends.
12:44You got a lot of nerve.
12:46You and your mangy breed.
12:49Come around here stealing our range and everything.
12:51What do you think you're getting away with?
12:53Well, there certainly must be land enough for all of us.
12:57And why are you dirty range, Stephen, scum?
13:04Put away your gun, Morgan.
13:05I ain't armed.
13:07You must be tight.
13:10Tight, huh?
13:11Me?
13:27Hey, better get out of here.
13:41We'll cover you this way.
13:42Yeah.
13:42Give me your gun.
13:56Now get this, all of you.
13:58It was self-defense.
13:59He came in here looking for trouble, Marshal, and drove first.
14:13It won't do, Blake.
14:15I saw you plant the gun.
14:17Your lying won't help Clay any.
14:19It might even get you into trouble.
14:21What are you going to do now?
14:32I'm going to arrest Clay Morgan for murder, Sam.
14:35Hello.
14:59Hello.
15:00Hello.
15:00Mr. Morgan?
15:02Yes, this is Morgan.
15:03This is Blake.
15:06Clay just had a run with Joe Potter and plugged him.
15:12The Marshal, Bruce Manning, he's on his way out to the ranch to arrest him now.
15:25Yeah.
15:25Yeah.
15:33Dad.
15:39But Dad.
15:40What happened?
15:49Dad.
15:50They just telephoned me from town.
16:13I only shot in self-defense, Dad.
16:16That's powerful.
16:17He come in here and he asked for it.
16:19He drew first.
16:21He did.
16:22Are you telling me the truth?
16:29It's truth.
16:32He's come for you, Clay.
16:34But if what you've told me is the truth, there's nothing to be afraid of.
16:49You'd better get ready to come with me, Clay.
16:52What for?
16:53Shooting in self-defense is no crime.
16:55I wish that was the truth, Mr. Morgan.
16:58But unfortunately, it isn't.
16:59It is.
17:00It's true.
17:02I have three witnesses.
17:04Kenan Morgan was there.
17:05I know Blake and the others tried to cover you, Clay.
17:09But whatever they might say can't change what I saw with my own eyes.
17:13I was at the window and I saw you beat it out the door.
17:16And I saw Blake plant the gun in the dead man's hand.
17:20It ain't true.
17:21Dad, it ain't true.
17:22Mr. Morgan, Clay shot down an unarmed man.
17:27I don't believe it.
17:29Clay has never lied to me.
17:31And no man could ever make me believe that a son of mine would be guilty of a thing like that.
17:36That's for the law to decide.
17:38Come on, Clay.
17:38Let's get going.
17:39I won't go.
17:40I tell you, I won't go.
17:42You can't take him, Bruce.
17:44Bruce, he's my brother.
17:45But, Ann, I have no choice.
17:51You're not taking him, Marshal.
17:57Interfering with the law is bad business, Mr. Morgan.
18:01Go, Clay.
18:15You better come with me, Clay, or you'll never stand trial.
18:45Well, what do you want?
19:10Come for your arm.
19:15Search the place.
19:41You ain't in the house, Ma.
19:45I'll find him, Morgan.
20:13And when I do, I'll give bullet for bullet.
20:43Go, Clay.
20:44Go, Clay.
20:47Good morning.
20:52Bye-bye.
20:56Get up.
21:26Get on your horse.
21:48He's got clay.
21:56Get on your horse.
22:26Get on your horse.
22:56I'm sorry not your cold, Gray.
23:18I knew Dan wouldn't let you hold me here.
23:34You're foolish, Bruce.
23:43You haven't got a chance.
23:45That'll smoke you out.
23:46Even you have to get every ranch in the valley to help him.
23:48You know it.
23:49Why don't you turn me loose?
23:51You can tell him I got away.
23:53I'll get out of the valley and I'll move.
23:55You know what will happen then.
23:57This won't be Paradise Valley anymore.
23:59It'll be Ambush Valley.
24:01More potter in those nesters ain't jackrabbits.
24:03They're not going to crawl into their holes and forget just because you've disappeared.
24:07It will be war, range war, with a lot of innocence getting in the way of bullets.
24:12If you roll.
24:13You know what I'm going to do.
24:43You've got the Marshal trapped in there with clay.
24:48Marshal, I'm giving you your last chance to release clay before we start smoking you out.
24:55Then I reckon you better begin smoking me out, Mr. Morgan.
24:58Then.
24:58I don't know.
25:28Wait!
25:32Don't shoot! It's Clay!
25:37I took care of the marshal!
25:45He's out. He's out cold.
25:47Then we'd better keep him out.
25:53He's the only one that can bear witness against you, Clay.
25:56Now, wait a minute, boys.
25:58I'm not in favor of this.
26:03But, Dad, it's his life of mine.
26:05Now, now, look.
26:06If we could shut his mouth...
26:08There won't be any witnesses.
26:12His body will be found, and that's all.
26:14There he is, down there.
26:36I'm not in favor.
26:45There he is.
26:48I'm not in favor.
26:49I'm not in favor of that.
26:51I'm not in favor of that.
26:54You gotta wait!
27:24This horse is gone!
27:42Come on, spread out!
27:44He can't be far away!
27:54He can't be far away!
28:04He can't be far away!
28:11He can't be far away!
28:32Take me to him, boy!
28:53I can't understand how he got away!
28:56He was badly hit!
29:00You two fellas ride into town, watch his office.
29:10Doc Wilson's place.
29:11He may show up there.
29:30He can't be far away!
29:43He can't be far away!
29:45He can't be far away!
29:58He can't be far away!
30:00He can't be far away!
30:02He can't be far away!
30:17it's that morgan girl you think maybe she knows where that brother of hers is hiding
30:44it's worth finding out
30:46if you keep quiet you won't get hurt
31:12if you're looking for my brother you're wasting your time I came here to find Bruce Manning he's been hurt
31:19well he ain't around here you better come along with us
31:42bring him inside I'll attend to him
31:53what happened to you just had a little accident you sure that morgan breed had nothing to do with
32:17your accident I reckon there's no use lying to you mall I had play Morgan but he got away I figured that
32:26but I'll get play yet don't you worry mall you better lie down and take it easy you've lost a lot of blood
32:46we didn't find the murder and wealth but we brought along some bait that's rather to fetch him out of his
33:09I reckon Morgan might be willing to trade his son for his daughter
33:17I'm all I know you wouldn't do a thing like that and why not Kyle message ain't too low to use on the
33:33likes of Morgans see what they did to my boy I'm holding her as hostage and when her son is delivered into my hands the murderer of my boy
33:44he can have her then you intend to take the law into your own hands looks like I'll have to seeing as how you have too many to handle alone
33:52do you realize what that means means war we're ready for it we've stood enough from them cattlemen
34:03Morgan will have every cattleman in the valley riding with him he'll wipe you out
34:08I reckon he'll think twice before sacrificing his own daughter
34:12what do you mean by that it means that if Morgan refuses my offer and tries force his daughter's life will pay for the part of my life
34:19the person nester that falls get in the house

38:07Then we'll settle with him.
38:09It'll be a pleasure.
38:10Mr. Morgan, if you weren't such a stubborn old fool, you'd realize...
38:18Listen, Clay.
38:19If anything happens to your sister, you'll have something to think about as long as you live.
38:25Don't worry.
38:26My dad won't let anything happen to her. You know that.
38:29That looks like the Morgan outfit.

39:40Don't turn me over to them.
39:52I won't have a chance.
39:56And I suppose you deserve a chance.
39:59What chance did you give them all Potter's boy?
40:02And then you tried to crawl out of it by lying to your father.
40:06All you think about is your own miserable hide.
40:09What about your father and the other ranchers?
40:13Clay, this is your chance to wipe out some of the rottenness you've done.
40:25All right, Bruce.
40:28I don't want anyone to suffer on my account.
40:34I'm ready to go.
40:36Come on. Let's get going.
40:38We've got to hurry.
40:39We've got to hurry.
40:39We've got to hurry.
41:08That's where you are, Morgan.
41:21If it's a fight you won't, you'll get it.
41:23I've come for my daughter.
41:25Did you bring your own?
41:27Do you think I'm fool enough to turn him over to you?
41:30Your son got what was coming to him.
41:32It was fair play.
41:34That's what you say.
41:35You know my bargain.
41:37The first one of you to put the foot in this drawer gets a bullet.
41:41I've got a bullet for the first one that tries to stop me.
41:48Come on.
41:49We're wasting our time.
41:50Come on, boys.
42:02We're smoking out.
45:39I had it coming to me.
45:46I killed you, Joe Potter.
45:49He didn't...
45:51He didn't...
45:53He didn't even have a gun.
45:57I was drunk.
45:59Dad...
46:00He's asleep.
46:01He's asleep.
46:02You can lay down your guns, Ma.
46:12You can lay down your gun, Ma.
46:13You can lay down your guns, Ma.
46:29Clay Morgan is dead.
46:30Clay Morgan is dead.
46:31His father shot him by mistake.
46:32He's not a mistake.
46:33He's not a mistake.
46:34He's not a mistake.
46:35left...
46:41There's...
46:42I don't know.
46:44I know.
46:45I...
46:46I know now...
46:48Well, Potter, I know now how you felt when you lost your boy.
47:10There's land enough in the valley for all of us.
47:13Don't you suppose we could be friendly, neighborly?
47:43I don't suppose we could be friendly.
47:50You're welcome.
47:52Let's go.
