Transcript

00:00Mr. Burke and his men set forth today on a mighty trail to conquer the country.

00:17Burke's never been outside the settled districts.

00:20Twenty miles on a good road and he loses his way.

00:22I intend to cross this country, Miss Matthews.

00:25You don't know Burke, gentlemen.

00:27I've seen the look in his eyes.

00:31What do you think, Mr. Williams?

00:33I think it's madness.

01:20I have your word on that.

01:26He's lost.

01:28He's lost out there.

01:30You don't care.

01:32First across the country.

01:35We blazed the trail.

01:38We wrote them.

01:39So what's in the show that I'll never forget?

01:43What do you think?
