00:00The
00:42The End
01:13How many?
01:14Three.
01:21Just a minute.
01:25You're terrible.
01:26If you try any of those phony tricks in Rattlesnake Gulch,
01:28they'll run you out quicker than they did in the last place.
01:31I didn't get us run out of that last place.
01:33It was your fault.
01:35Now, if you hadn't got mixed up with that dance hall girl,
01:37we'd have still been there.
01:38I got mixed up with her.
01:40You forget, my boy, that it was you with the young lady
01:43when the vigilantes asked us to leave town.
01:46And we ought to stay away from her.
01:48What, chasing after every good-looking Dane,
01:50you see, ain't gonna get you anyplace?
01:52By the time we cut it out and tried to make something of ourselves.
01:55Now, that's the first sensible thing you ever said.
01:58Now, the thing for you to do is to ignore them.
02:01But how can I?
02:03Ever since I've been able to tip my hat,
02:05women have had a weakness for me.
02:07Well, don't tip your hat.
02:09Don't even talk to them.
02:13Say, that's an idea.
02:15It's talk that always gets you into trouble with a woman.
02:18They always think you mean more than you say.
02:21Why?
02:22All you gotta do is say good morning.
02:23And they think you wanna get hitched.
02:26From now on, I'm deaf and dumb to all of you.
02:30Now you're talking, that's a great idea.
02:32You'll save me a lot of trouble if you really mean it.
02:36Absolutely.
02:48Oh, boy, take a look at that.
02:52I gotta do something about that.
02:54I thought you said you were deaf and dumb to all of them.
02:56That's the trouble with you, Kansas.
02:58You haven't any willpower.
02:59What do you mean, no willpower?
03:01When I say a thing, I mean it.
03:03But you just said that you were deaf and dumb
03:04as far as women were concerned.
03:05That's right.
03:07And it still holds good.
03:08Good.
03:11Will you allow me?
03:13Certainly.
03:18Hurry up.
03:24I'm John Scott.
03:26Heading for the Rodeo at Rattlesnake Gump.
03:29Oh, how do you do?
03:30I am Juanita Rivero.
03:32My phone is there.
03:34Oh, that's great.
03:35Maybe I'll be able to see a lot of you while I'm there.
03:45Are you a Rodeo star?
03:47Well, not exactly.
03:48Although, uh, I did pick up some money at the Cheyenne and Pendleton shows this year.
03:56It's your friend here.
03:58Is he a Rodeo star?
04:00Him?
04:00A Rodeo star?
04:02I should say not.
04:04That's Kansas Charlie.
04:05He's my, uh, he's my ward.
04:09He's a poor, deaf and dumb guy.
04:11I just carry him along to take care of my saddle.
04:17Oh, very too bad.
04:19How did it happen?
04:21Why, uh, he was scalped by Indians when he was a baby.
04:25Never regained his power in speech.
04:28Wait till he takes his hat off.
04:30He's bald as a goat.
04:34See, the poor fellow's trying to talk, but that's the best he can do.
04:39Well, women or no women, I'm not going to sit here and let you insult me like that.
04:43I am not bald-headed.
04:45It's only a high forehead.
04:47See?
04:48Well, well.
04:50It's a positive miracle.
04:52They always told me that a sudden shock would restore his speech,
04:56but I didn't think he'd turn out to be half-witted.
04:58Now, that's the first forehead I ever saw that ran clear to the back of the neck.
05:03Why, you...
05:06There's a lady present.
05:08You see, miss? He's practically a midwit.
05:10Midwit?
05:11Say, I got more brains than this fellow ever have.
05:14Now, what you need is a man to protect you.
05:17Somebody that's going to get ahead in the world.
05:20Ah, you got too much class for these small-town fellows.
05:24You need a man that's been around.
05:25Oh, thanks, Kansas, for the build-up.
05:28But I think you're putting it a little strong.
05:31I'd rather the young lady found out a few of the things for herself.
05:34I wasn't talking about you.
05:37I was referring to myself.
05:40Modest, isn't he?
05:41Regular, shrinking violet.
05:44Ben, if you are all this thing, you must be very rich.
05:49Oh, yes, yes.
05:50Barely rolling in wealth.
05:52Most of the time.
05:54Of course, I don't carry it with me while I'm traveling.
05:57There's plenty of money waiting for me at the Rattlesnake Gulls Casino.
06:01Now, if you want to play a sure thing, Juanita, stay away from this guy and make a bet on
06:04me.
06:05He'll wear diamonds.
06:07Oh, that would be very nice.
06:09I should say it would.
06:16Oh, this is my house.
06:18This is where I get off.
06:30I will see both of you while you are here.
06:33I'll say you will.
06:34I'll say you will.
07:18I'll say you will.
07:42I'll say you will.
08:23I'll say you will.
08:26I'll say you will.
08:30I'll say you will.
08:31I'll say you will.
08:31I'll say you will.
08:32I'll say you will.
08:32I'll say you will.
08:32I'll say you will.
08:33I'll say you will.
08:33I'll say you will.
08:33I'll say you will.
08:34I think you better stick to your gambling.
08:36You're a hero of this Rodeo with all that prize money.
08:39You won't stand a chance.
09:15Let's do it.
09:16Nothing too.
09:22Hello, boss.
09:30What's the matter?
09:31That's it, boys. Why all the penny annie?
09:33You'd be playing them close to your chest, too.
09:36You got mixed up in this chiseling rodeo outfit.
09:38I had to settle for 25 cents on the dollar.
09:41My award money.
09:42That's right. I got 82.50 for the 350 I had coming.
09:46And those boys out there in that bulldog contest
09:48will be lucky if they get anything.
09:50Oh, is that so?
09:53I'll be back in a minute, boys.
10:15Oh, they've cleaned you out already, huh?
10:17You're coming back to me for money.
10:18Oh, wait a minute.
10:19Ah, well, you don't get it.
10:21I need all my dough for that date with Juanita.
10:24Now, wait a minute. This is serious.
10:25I'm not clean, but you are.
10:28Some of the boys were telling me
10:29that they're paying off surprise money
10:30to this on the dollar.
10:31And some of the guys that can relate
10:33ain't going to get any.
10:34That means you, pal.
10:36Oh, is that so?
10:39We'll just see about that right now.
10:49What's the matter? Getting cold feet?
10:51With all that money waiting in the till?
10:54No, no feet. I'm all right.
11:05We'll wait till he comes out.
11:10I got $900 in prize money coming, Farnsworth.
11:13And I'll collect it right now.
11:17I ain't denying the money's due you, Scott,
11:19but this show is breaking mighty tough for us.
11:22It ain't paying out like we expected,
11:24so we're giving the boys 25 cents on the dollar.
11:27Not me, you're not.
11:29You'll make it 100%.
11:31$900?
11:32I should say not.
11:34I'll give you $2.50 and not a cent more.
11:38It's $900, Farnsworth, no less.
11:40Now, don't try to get tough with me, Scott.
11:42I'm expecting it to even give you $2.50.
11:45You'd better take it or you'll have to go without a cent.
11:50It's still $900.
11:53Kansas, count $900 out of that money in the safe
11:56and we'll get out of here.
12:07We'll get out of here.
12:07Don't come out until you hear our horses leave.
12:19Don't come out until you hear our horses leave.
12:28You'll get out of here.
12:29Get away from that hole!
12:30Get behind the counter and shut out those receipts.
12:33Come on, give me that money!
12:49Come on, sir.
12:49That sounded like it's New York Day office.
12:51Come on, sir.
13:02Sheriff.
13:06Keep your mouth shut.
13:08Let me do the talking.
13:13What?
13:13Safe open?
13:14Yeah.
13:16Hornsworth!
13:19What happened?
13:21What happened?
13:22I saw Scotland, Kansas Charlie the Gambler, coming out of the office right after shots were fired.
13:27They must be the ones who did it.
13:29Yeah.
13:29Come on.
13:31Take a look at the gambling casino, and I'll have the boys get mounted.
13:35Come on, boys.
14:08What are you getting all flicked up for?
14:10I got a date with Juanita.
14:12Too bad you ain't gonna be able to keep it.
14:14Who says I ain't?
14:15I do.
14:18Do you think she'd have anything to do with a sheep herder like you?
14:22With a man of the world like me to be had?
14:24Just the same you aren't gonna keep that date.
14:26Hey, who's gonna stop me?
14:28I am.
14:28What are you...
14:30What are you...
14:35It ain't over at the casino, Sheriff.
14:37All right, boys.
14:38Let's go down to the shack.
14:42As I said before, it's too bad you can't keep that date tonight.
14:45Why, you...
14:46But I'll give her a little chubby for you, Kansas.
15:03So, if you want to keep it in place...
15:06It's right.
15:06Let's go down to the shack of the street.
15:08So, this time this time this time, I'm going to be at the back of the camp.
15:09So, I can tell you that I'm...
15:21And I just have to give it for a long listen.
15:28I would like to show you what I'm talking about.
15:34Well, here's one of them already tied up for us.
16:18I'll tell you, Sheriff, I didn't do it.
16:20Why, I can make mine too easy at the gambling table
16:22without going in for murder.
16:24Well, that's what you say.
16:27What do you say?
16:28What do you say?
16:33Maybe we can try him this afternoon and hang him right away
16:36and save the county the expense of feeding him.
16:41Well, Sheriff, you can do one thing for me, will you?
16:43What's that?
16:44Take my bankroll and my watch and give them to Juanita.
16:48Well, I don't reckon we can do that all right.
17:01Put him on the horse, boys.
17:19Just a minute, Sheriff.
17:21Drop those guns.
17:26Now, throw down that roll and watch.
17:36Now, just start out and keep going.
17:57I'm getting out of here for Poker City tonight.
17:59Getting scared?
18:00You don't think I'd tell the Sheriff
18:02that you was the one that done the shooting?
18:04We're pals.
18:05We've got to stick together, kid, huh?
18:07The fact is I'm going right along with you
18:08when you go to Poker City tonight.
18:10Listen, Pete, I'm only going over there
18:12to lay low for a while at my sister's place.
18:13Well, I'm going right along.
18:15Don't you think I know that some of the richest shipments of gold
18:18go out on that Poker City stage?
18:20I'm not interested in that.
18:21Well, you're going to be if you want me to keep my mouth shut.
18:26Allow me to at my shack tonight.
18:28I've got to say goodbye to my lady friend.
18:48You know, Pete, I think you are the sweetest man in all the world.
18:53Yeah?
18:54Mm-hm.
19:11Mm-hm.
19:13Oh!
19:14I think can't.
19:16He will not let you find you here.
19:19Here in the closet.
19:20Pronto.
19:22Yes?
19:22Yes?
19:23Let's go.
19:37How are you?
19:38Hello, Anita.
19:42Whose horse is that out there?
19:44Oh, it's mine.
19:46A friend just gave him to me.
19:48Oh.
19:49Well, I've got something better than that for you, baby.
19:51Just feast your eyes on this.
19:54Oh, it is beautiful.
19:56It's wonderful.
19:58But I cannot take it.
20:00No?
20:01No.
20:01Oh, all right. I'll keep it then.
20:14John, why haven't you come around to see me?
20:17I need you so much, and I'm so lonesome for you.
20:22Oh, now listen, baby.
20:24You just get yourself all dolled up, and we'll go out and buy you a real present.
20:29You know, if you cook me a little, then I can take the wash, too.
20:42John, you know I think you're the sweetest boy in all the world.
20:55Well, fine pal you are.
20:57As soon as my hands are tight, you try to steal my girl.
21:00What's the matter, Candace?
21:01Didn't the rope necktie fit?
21:02You're a brave guy as long as my hands are tight.
21:05Oh, yeah?
21:08Say, what do you mean by breaking in on a lady's privacy like this?
21:12Privacy?
21:13Yes.
21:14Untie his hands when he doesn't know how to teach him a few lessons in manners.
21:21Why, you...
21:22Ow!
21:25Ah!
21:28Wait!
21:35Your watch.
21:40Hey, how about my bag?
21:41Oh, I almost forgot about it.
21:49It's a good thing you gave that back to me.
21:51I'm not too cold.
21:54Oh, my poor Panthers, are you hurt?
21:56Hurt?
21:57I should say not.
21:59Maybe I'd better count it, too.
22:02Maybe I'd better take charge, Candace.
22:07You boys are not to be trusted with so much money.
22:10And if either of you have any doubt about who's best man here...
22:15Ask Juanita.
22:17Come on, get in that closet.
22:19Get moving!
22:32Now you have the money, you will take Juanita with you to Poker City, no?
22:37No, he's right.
22:38Is that what he said?
22:40He's heading for Poker City.
22:41Oh, you wouldn't leave Juanita.
22:44Oh, you sure made a mess of things.
22:46What do you mean, the mess I made of things?
22:48I was doing all right till you came along.
22:50Oh, is that so?
22:52She was only consoling herself with you.
22:55You noticed how she had it straight for me as soon as she found out I was alive?
22:59That's what you think.
23:00And if it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have lost the money.
23:02Oh, yeah, and if you hadn't have come here, he wouldn't have got the money.
23:05I'd ought to smack you in the jaw for that.
23:07Well, I'd like to see you try it.
23:10Thanks.
23:11I will.
23:18I wouldn't want to steal you away from them.
23:22Adios.
23:34Oh, you beat it stiff.
23:36You ruined my clothes.
23:37Get out, both of you.
23:38I don't want to see you anymore.
23:40Get out.
23:40Come on, Nita.
23:41No, I've got to Poker City with speed.
23:43I hate you all.
23:44Get out.
23:48Oh, dear.
23:49Oh, my God, I amd because of the way.
23:51I will never let you go on this side today.
23:57It's the sheriff.
23:58Let's go out of here.
24:12It's the sheriff.
24:14Let's go out of here.
24:17Let's go.
24:56Let's go.
25:14It looks like they've given us the slip.
25:17Now, no use trailing them any further.
25:20Let's go back to Juanita's and question her.
25:23Come on.
25:26Oh, I sure got us out of that scrape, didn't I, boy?
25:29I'll say you did.
25:30And now that they got us out of it, I think we better split up.
25:33I'm going to Poker City and get that guy Pete and my bankroll.
25:37There's no use you heading for Poker City.
25:39I'll take care of Pete myself, but I'll travel him from the States.
25:42Well, you slap, they'll get you for sure.
25:45Who, me?
25:58Not the Reverend Smith, my boy.
26:01They will never question a doctor of divinity.
26:05Well, so long, Moses, and I hope you get out of the wilderness.
26:08I'll take care of Pete and I'll take care of Pete and I'll take care of Pete.
26:38Well, I should be the commander of the law.
26:40Well, it's a nice enterprising little city you have here, Sheriff.
26:43Yes, it is.
26:45I don't believe I got your name.
26:47Oh, pardon me, Sheriff.
26:49I'm the Reverend Harry Smith from Rattlesmith Kulsh.
26:52Oh, I'm pleased to meet you, Parson Smith.
26:55Plan I'm staying here long?
26:57Well, yes.
26:58That is, if the climate agrees with me.
27:01You see, Sheriff, I had a little recent throat trouble.
27:05I have to be real careful of my health.
27:08Yes, I reckon a change of climate is healthy.
27:11Now and then, what do you plan to do here, Parson?
27:16Well, I kind of thought that maybe I'd, well, well, one of my old congregation.
27:22You remember me, don't you, Jim? I'm the Reverend Smith.
27:26Yeah, how are you, Parson?
27:28Oh, I'm always glad to see one of my old friends.
27:31My boys?
27:33Ah, looks like we're going to have a new Parson, boys.
27:35Yeah.
27:47Oh, yes.
27:47Hey, what's the name?
27:48Eh?
27:49Oh, yes.
27:51Ann, I want you to meet our preacher from Rattlesnake Gulch.
27:54How do you do?
27:55I'm pleased to meet you, Dr. Smith.
27:58I'm so glad to know that Jim associated with good companions during his stay in Rattlesnake Gulch.
28:03Oh, yes, yes. Jim was a regular member of my congregation.
28:07As a matter of fact, he was one of my greatest contributors.
28:10Oh, it's so nice to know that. He's all the family I have.
28:13Oh, keep an eye on him, Miss Ann.
28:15Uh, the fact is, uh, I was hoping to get some of the boys together for a little prayer meeting
28:19tonight.
28:19And I would like to have Jim attend some of the, uh, sessions.
28:23How about it, Jim?
28:25Uh, thanks, Parson.
28:42Well, Lone Van, I tried to help the state this morning.
28:45That's the fourth time this month. We gotta do something about it.
28:47What does he look like?
28:48I didn't get a very good look at him.
28:50There's too many strangers around these parts.
28:53It's time we started investigating some of them.
29:03There's one of them now.
29:05Hey, you!
29:06Me?
29:08Yes, you.
29:10What's your name?
29:12John Jones.
29:14There's getting to be too many Joneses and Smiths around here to suit me.
29:19You better come on over to my office. I want to ask you a few questions.
29:23Oh, now, wait a minute, Sheriff. You can't put me in jail yet. I just got in town.
29:27Now, don't try to be funny.
29:30Is this the fellow that held up the stage?
29:35Well, I can't rightly identify him.
29:39You see, I didn't get a very good look at him.
29:43Sure, Sheriff. You got the wrong man look.
29:46There's a fellow who knows me.
29:48Hey, son.
29:49Come here a minute.
29:52You remember John Jones, don't you, Jim?
29:56Yes.
29:56Oh, sure. Jim's an old friend of mine from Rattlesnake Ghosts.
29:59I just came over to pay him a visit.
30:01How are you, Jim?
30:03Well, be seeing you, Sheriff.
30:10Sure is good to see you again, Jim.
30:12You kind of took me by surprise.
30:13I didn't expect to see you here.
30:16Oh, well, I got to be going. I'll see you later, Scott.
30:19And I won't be home until late.
30:21That's all right, Jim. Mr. Smith will see me home.
30:23All right.
30:28Thanks a lot, Miss, but the name is Jones.
30:31I said Smith.
30:32And if you'll pardon me, I'm going to lock up Mr. Jones.
30:38I'm waiting for Mr. Smith.
30:40Well, in that case, I guess we'll both wait for him.
30:43Well, you needn't trouble.
30:44Oh, it's no trouble. I haven't anything else to do.
30:47Couldn't you find some other place to do it?
30:49Well, I could, but you wouldn't be there.
30:53Is there anything you want?
30:54Sure.
30:59What's in those bottles?
31:01Nerve tonic, but you don't need any.
31:03No, but my horse does. He's all run down.
31:06I think I'll take one.
31:22Is there anything else?
31:24Oh, let me see now.
31:29Well, well, well. Just what I've been looking for.
31:33You think they'll fit?
31:34Well, I'm sure I don't know.
31:36Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.
31:41I hope that's all.
31:44Well, come to think about it, uh...
31:48I think I'll take another bottle of that Nerve tonic.
31:51My horse is pretty well run down.
32:11Shall we dance?
32:21I'm so glad to see you, Parson Smith.
32:23Well, I'm right on time.
32:24Well, you couldn't have come any too soon to suit me.
32:27Well, if I thought I meant that much to you,
32:29I could have been here long before this.
32:31Well, well, well.
32:32So this is the Parson Smith.
32:35Jones is my name, Doctor. How do you do?
32:39Haven't I seen you someplace before?
32:43It was at a party.
32:45A farewell party.
32:47You were going away.
32:49But come now, Doctor. What can we do for you?
32:52I have it.
32:57How about a necktie?
32:59This looks very becoming with that outfit.
33:01Will you stop this nonsense so we can pick these things up and close the store?
33:05Oh, are we ready to go?
33:07And just where do you think you're going, Mr. Jones?
33:10Oh, you can come along, Mr. Smith.
33:13That is, if the young lady doesn't mind.
33:15I wish I had your nerve, Mr. Jones.
33:19That's easy.
33:24Why, you...
33:25Don't say it.
33:27Wait a minute.
33:28If it's going to cause all this trouble, you both can take me home.
33:33I'm telling you, I don't like the looks of things.
33:36It was bad enough when Andy's Charlie showed up, and now John Scott's here.
33:39They must know something.
33:40We've got to quit this racket.
33:42So they followed us.
33:43You forget they're still wanting for the Monsworth.
33:46And if I should tell them that you've done it...
33:48Oh, you wouldn't do that, please.
33:50No, not as long as we're still partners.
33:53When does that next gold shipping go out?
33:56Saturday.
33:57Meet you here Saturday.
34:22Good morning, Dr. Smith.
34:23Don't tell me you're back for more nerve, Tony.
34:24You were in here five times yesterday and three times the day before.
34:28And you've just about cleaned me out.
34:30Well, perhaps you'd better try soothing syrup for a change.
34:32Well, no thanks. I think I'll leave that to Parson Smith.
34:35As a matter of fact, I came in here looking for him.
34:42Good morning, Dr. Smith. I was just looking for you.
34:45Yeah?
34:46Looks like it.
34:47No, this is on the level. I've got to talk to you.
34:49Will you pardon us, Ann?
34:50Certainly.
34:59Well, listen. I just saw Jim riding out on the desert trail with a man that looked like Pete.
35:05I figure if we take a ride out that way, we might get our dough back.
35:09Hey, is this the straight goods?
35:11Absolutely.
35:12All right. Let's go, then.
35:25Now, let's get this straight.
35:26I'll cover the stage from here.
35:28You go in and clean up the passengers.
35:30Then you climb up and get the strongbox.
35:32Right?
35:47I wonder what all the shooting's about.
35:48I don't know. We'd better find out.
36:03Get moving! Somebody coming!
36:24You take after them. I'll stop the coast.
36:37Well, sit up here. I'll meet you in town.
36:42What?
37:01I'll see you in town.
37:02Help us.
37:04I'll be right back.
37:04Come out, there.
37:04Come out.
37:05We got to go out in town.
37:10Come out, man.
37:10We'll go out and fill in theinnen and fill in the triple shed.
37:10I'll go out.
37:11I'll go out and fill in the water.
37:11You're not going out now.
37:12Well, young man, you sure saved our lives.
37:16Did they get anything?
37:18Yes, my watch and money.
37:20Well, that's too bad. I'll drive you on into town.
38:01Well, Jim, I didn't think you'd get mixed up in a thing like this.
38:05Pete made me do it, and he made me take the stuff.
38:08Oh, Pete, eh?
38:10So this is his stuff.
38:11Oh, Pete, eh?
38:11Please don't tell Ann.
38:13No, I won't tell her.
38:15You helped me out of a little jam with the sheriff when I landed here.
38:19Besides, Pete's the man I'm after.
38:21Maybe this will kind of even things up.
38:26You tell Pete we'll just call out interest.
38:30And if you want my advice, you'll stay away from Pete.
38:33Or you'll find yourself dangling on the wrong end of a rope someday.
38:37Thanks, Kansas, for letting me go.
38:39Ah, don't thank me.
38:40Thank you, sister.
39:00What happened, Franker?
39:01Take care of the driver.
39:06Sheriff, we certainly owe that young man a vote of thanks.
39:09He drove off the bandage.
39:11I'm sorry.
39:13I was wrong about you, Jones.
39:15Oh, that's all right, Sheriff.
39:19Well, folks, we certainly took care of that situation.
39:22Wait a minute, Sheriff.
39:24These men are wanted for murder over Gretelsnake Gulch.
39:27They killed Farnsworth, held up the stage,
39:31and now trying to pass themselves off as heroes.
39:34I don't believe it.
39:40Sheriff, my watch and change.
39:42You're under arrest.
39:45I wasn't so wrong after all.
39:47Lock them up, boys.
39:52What do you think of that, huh?
39:54Will it come off the box?
39:55I'll notify the Sheriff of the Rattlesnake Gulch.
39:57Yeah, I would if I were you, Sheriff.
40:21Look at that jam you got us into.
40:24I got us into.
40:26Where did you get that watch?
40:27I took it off a jam.
40:28He and Pete pulled that hold of him.
40:31I turned him loose.
40:33Oh, big-hearted Charlie.
40:35You turned him loose and landed us right in jail.
40:38I landed us in jail?
40:40Say, smart guy, why did you bring that stage into town?
40:43But I didn't steal the stage.
40:46It's just a little matter of property rights that you wouldn't understand.
40:50Oh, I wouldn't understand.
40:54Do you mean to insinuate that I'm dumb?
40:58No.
41:00Dumber!
41:01Why, you...
41:19What's the matter, sis?
41:21The Sheriff arrested John in Kansas today for stage robbery and murder.
41:25And they're talking about hanging them.
41:27I don't believe they had anything to do with it.
41:30I'm sure they didn't.
41:31But how are we going to prove it?
41:34You're mighty fond of one of them, aren't you?
41:40Oh, don't you worry, sis.
41:41You go on home and get some sleep.
41:43I'll close the store for you.
41:44All right, Jim.
41:55I'll be home later.
41:56All right.
42:25All right.
42:27I'm here.
42:54I'm here.
43:00Look!
43:07She sure is a swell girl.
43:09I knew she wouldn't let me down.
43:11Shut up and give me those saw blades.
43:12We've got plenty to do before morning.
43:18Good morning, Miss Anne.
43:20Good morning, Sheriff.
43:22I wonder if it would be all right
43:24if I came over a little later to talk to John in Kansas?
43:27Oh, that'll be all right.
43:28We were just taking them over some breakfast.
43:30Thanks. I have to go to the store, but I'll be right back.
43:46There's a couple of horses at the other end of the street.
43:49Now, take it easy and they'll never suspect it.
44:00Let's go.
44:43What happened?
44:45John and Kansas broke jams.
44:46The whole town's shooting at them.
44:49Now's our chance to pick up the bank.
44:50Make a final of all and get out of here.
44:53That's me.
44:54I'm through.
44:56I'm going to tell the sheriff.
44:58You killed Barnsworth?
44:59Yes.
45:00And then I held up the stage.
45:02Wait, you won't.
45:10Jim!
45:14He's a shot to him.
45:23Easy, sis.
45:27They'll think we did it.
45:29We've got to get out of here.
45:39The girls are out of the way.
45:41Let's rush them.
46:09Let's go.
46:09Careful, boys.
46:10They may be in the back room.
46:25There's Pete.
46:26We've got to get him and make him talk.
46:28It's our only chance.
46:43Sheriff!
46:44Sheriff!
46:46I've held up the bank.
46:47They took the road to the river.
46:49Let's get married, boys.
47:16Stephen.
47:16Are we done all with ourнок?
47:37He was just an update on them.
47:38They weren't in the back room.
48:45You drive fire from the front while I get around and back.
49:31The sheriff on the posse is coming.
49:33Well, I'll hold him off. You see if you can bring Pete to and make him talk.
50:05What happened, sis? Did John and Kansas get to the river shack all right?
50:10They got away. The sheriff and posse are after them.
50:13You've got to stop them. John and Kansas are innocent.
50:17I shot Farnsworth. Pete framed it all.
50:22He made me help him hold up the stage.
50:27When he wanted me to rob the bank, I told him I was through.
50:33I was going for the sheriff when he shot me.
50:39Jake, come with me.
50:45You said he got out of jail?
50:48Which way did he go?
51:06What do you want to hit him so hard for?
51:11Well, if I don't bring him to me, we won't be able to talk.
51:14Shut up and get busy.
51:15OK, let's go.
51:16Let's go.
51:18Let's go.
51:54Let's go.
52:28Sheriff, Jim just told me that he and Pete held up the stage.
52:32Pete framed the whole thing.
52:34John and Kansas are innocent.
52:35That's right, Sheriff.
52:36I heard the confession.
52:37It was Pete who robbed the bank, too.
52:39Stop hiring, boys.
52:40Tommy, you come with us.
52:45I've quit firing.
52:51Probably getting ready to rush us.
52:56Well, we're all out of ammunition.
52:58That means we'll have to give ourselves up.
53:00Oh, if I could only make this guy talk.
53:17It's Ann with the sheriff.
53:30Let him in.
53:37All right, Sheriff.
53:38We give up.
53:40I'm sorry, boys.
53:41I made a mistake.
53:43Jim has confessed.
53:46All right, men.
53:47Bring him out.
53:51Well, I've got to be getting back to Anita, so I'll have to rush this.
53:58Do you, Ann, take this man, John, to be your lawful wedded husband?
54:04I do.
54:06And do you, John?
54:08Get out of here.
54:09I want this thing to be legal.
54:10I want this thing to be legal.
54:11I want this thing to be legal.
54:15I want this thing to be legal.
54:18I want this thing to be legal.
54:18I want this thing to be legal.
54:18I want this thing to be legal.
54:19I want this thing to be legal.
54:20I want this thing to be legal.
54:20I want this thing to be legal.
