00:03The
00:30Oh, my God.
01:10Well, son, we've sure been through a lot these last three years, ain't we?
01:15Sure have, Grizzly.
01:18Sometimes I wonder how we ever got through it all.
01:20Yeah, that time in Colorado, three years ago, when I first met you.
01:26You dragged me out of that burning hotel room with a slug in my shoulder.
01:30Heh, heh, heh, heh.
02:08Stay back there, you hungry, or somebody will be stopping last.
02:11Come on, son.
02:12Come on.
02:12Come on.
03:04Sure, let's get out of here.
03:20Let's get out of here.
03:38Let's get out of here.
03:53Hey!
03:54Hurry up!
03:56Hey, come on!
04:08This shoot-and-scrape today with that marshal was one of the closest calls we've ever had.
04:40Looks like the marshal's in a tough spot.
04:43They still marshal, they'll think you're hit.
04:54He ain't hit, he's just fooling them.
05:08Look!
05:23He thought we fired him.
05:25Thanks for part of the gang.
05:26He'll never believe us with our reputation.
05:28Let's streak it.
05:43Come on, men!
05:45We got him on the run!
05:49Come on!
06:04Come on!
06:24Come on!
06:36Come on, come on.
07:19Well, I reckon we lost them.
07:21Looks that way.
07:25It's a question which way they went.
07:27You boys, go downstream, and I'll go this away.
07:48Yes, sir, it's sure been some excitement.
07:53Always on the pride, dodging the law.
07:56And what for?
07:57We ain't done nothing but good, fighting bandits, rustlers, and outlaws, and helping the helpless.
08:04There's been a lot of dirty tricks blamed on us, Grizzly, but we never did.
08:08Do you realize, son, that with all our shooting, we ain't never killed anybody?
08:12I wonder what old Marshal Greg would say if someone told him we saved his life today.
08:17With our reputation?
08:20You'd never believe it, Grizzly.
08:21He thinks we were part of that gang sure shooting.
08:24The old buzzer didn't know that hombre was on the roof right above him.
08:28If we hadn't winged him, the Marshal'd been wearing wings by now.
08:32Our horns, you never can tell.
08:38I'm getting tired of hiding out like this all the time.
08:43Let's go to a new country, where we can walk the streets and not have to shoot our way out.
08:49Me too.
08:52Let's cut through California up into Montana.
08:56We'll homestead a ranch and settle down.
08:59I suppose you'll be getting married.
09:03There's nothing to suit me better than to play grandpappy to your kid.
09:09When do we start?
09:10In the morning?
09:12Let's make it early.
09:15Well, pleasant dreams, Grizzly.
09:18Yeah, there's one consolation.
09:20There won't be no gun-toting, star-packing Marshal to turn them into nightmares.
09:36Ah!
09:41Was that you?
09:42No.
09:43Well, what was it?
09:46Maybe it was the horses.
09:48Son, our horses never made a noise like that.
09:52It wasn't human.
09:53We're getting out of here right now.
10:12Well, son, we're in California now.
10:14She's a land of milk and honey.
10:17Well, right now, I'd be satisfied with a beast, too.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Let's get out of here and find one.
10:38I reckon there won't be any money in this this trip.
10:42Yeah, that's what the other driver said.
10:44Well, there must have been some crooked work done.
10:46How could anybody get in this box without me an O on it?
11:00I don't know.
11:01All right.
11:31Stay down, boy.
12:19Hey, one of you fellas give me a hand with this trunk, will you?
12:22Come on, give me a hand.
12:34Let her slide down.
12:35Yes, Sammy.
12:39Yes, Sammy.
12:41Yes.
13:07I guess blacksmith must be having a seat.
13:13I'll be with you in a minute.
13:30Where's Pete?
13:32Pete's having lunch.
13:33He didn't expect you so soon.
13:40What can I do for you boys?
13:42A horse through a shoe.
13:44How soon can I get him?
13:45We'll fix him right up.
13:46Fair enough.
13:47What do you say we look the town over, son?
13:48Okay, Grant.
13:58You know, son, there's an old friend of mine used to live in this town.
14:03Friend, huh?
14:04Yeah.
14:05Well, I'm betting two to one.
14:06It's not the sheriff.
14:08Come on.
14:13There's a fellow in this town named Pete Manning.
14:15Yeah, he's the express agent.
14:17I'm going up that way.
14:18Come on.
14:30Hello, boys.
14:31Where's Pete?
14:32Hello, Sheriff.
14:33What's up?
14:34Well, in a minute, my old friend Grizzly.
14:37Hi, Pete.
14:39Well...
14:39Oh, Pete, I want you to meet my sidekick, Bob Rivers.
14:42This is Pete Manning.
14:43Glad to know you, too.
14:45Howdy, Manning.
14:46Excuse me, boys.
14:47I'll be with you in a minute.
14:49Oh, Silver.
14:50Hi.
14:51Got through okay, did you?
14:52Yeah.
14:53Never eaten to water.
14:55Uh-huh.
14:58Wait a minute, boys.
14:59We'll just take a look.
15:15Well, Keller, what have you got to say?
15:18It's mighty strange, Manning.
15:20Bill and I can swear.
15:22We never ticked this box till we got here.
15:26Came straight through.
15:29That's what the others said.
15:32I'm sorry, boys, but you're both responsible.
15:35I'll have to hold both of you, Keller, and solve this mystery, and find that money.
16:02This is the third time that money's disappeared.
16:05Someone must have a duplicate key.
16:07Impossible.
16:09That's a new padlock.
16:10Stephens and I have the only keys.
16:13I guess I'll have to shut down the station or drive the stage myself.
16:18You see, the boys are scared of the job.
16:21I had to send in the batter for Keller.
16:25If you mean that job's open, Manning, why, Grizz and I'd be glad to take it.
16:29In fact, we're itching for it.
16:30Well, I'd hate to get you boys into trouble.
16:33Trouble's our middle name.
16:34We live on it.
16:35What do you say?
16:36Well, if you want to take a chance, the job's yours.
16:39When do we start?
16:40You're working right now.
16:52You boys just passing through?
16:54We were, but we decided to stay a while.
16:56We've taken over the stage job for the express company.
16:58What happened to the new driver?
17:00There was a 5,000 mission from the strong box.
17:03Money gone again, eh?
17:05The money can't jump out of the box that way.
17:07That's all?
17:08Not that box.
17:09I made it myself.
17:11Someone must have a duplicate key.
17:33Mary.
17:35You'd better get back to your work.
17:37All right, Dad.
17:42That's a mighty fine-looking daughter you got there.
17:45She don't belong in this town.
17:47As soon as I can, I'm taking her away.
18:09Hello, Grizz.
18:10Hi, Pete.
18:12You've been driving a week now.
18:14How do you like the job?
18:15Oh, it's all right.
18:16But there's not enough action to suit me.
18:18We crazy treadmill.
18:20Well, your first shipment of money's coming through.
18:22Maybe you'll get your excitement.
18:35I can't help but think that this blacksmith might have something to do with this mystery, Grizz.
18:39He made that strong box, you know.
18:40What's the difference?
18:41Who made it?
18:42The question is, who gets into it and how?
18:44That's what we've got to find out.
18:46I think I'll go over and have a talk with him.
18:48He might let something slip.
18:50Yeah.
18:51Are you sure you're going to see the blacksmith?
19:13Hello.
19:14Hello.
19:15Is your dad here?
19:17No, he isn't.
19:17He's gone over to Ojai to see his brother.
19:21He won't be back for a while then, will he?
19:23I don't think so.
19:35Howdy, Matt.
19:36Been expecting you all week.
19:38Any trouble?
19:39No.
19:40Only another driver in jail.
19:42Don't tell me.
19:43Ain't that too bad.
19:50The express company sent this over with their compliment.
19:54Grab it a good haul, Matt.
19:56Not bad.
19:58How'd the kid come through?
19:59All right.
20:00She don't care much for the job, though.
20:03You know, I've been thinking that.
20:05She's liable to squeal someday.
20:06She'll never do that.
20:08I've got her train.
20:09He's home now, afraid to even look outside.
20:13Do you mean that he keeps you corralled up here in the house all the time?
20:18Why, yes.
20:20He says I'm not old enough to have friends.
20:29He's your...
20:30My part.
20:31And the best pal I've ever had.
20:34The only trouble with him is he's always worrying about me.
20:38Now he wants me to settle down and get married.
20:44Well, I've often thought how wonderful it would be to have someone really care for you.
20:53It would be wonderful, I guess, if you've got the right girl.
20:57Oh, I remember well the village schoolhouse bell was a-clingin' and a-clangin' and a-clingin'
21:12And when I went to school, I learned the golden rule.
21:20And I always joined in the singin'
21:27Hold the air!
21:29Hold the air!
21:37So that new driver and his partner are a couple of tough hombres, eh?
21:40They're the slickest pair of gunslingers I've ever seen.
21:43I caught them practicing this morning.
21:46Yeah?
21:46Maybe I'd better get the boys and surprise them.
21:50That's what I've been thinking.
21:51One thing, their being here ain't doing us any good.
21:59Here you are.
22:19No wrong, Stephen.
22:20So long, good luck.
22:33You know I don't trust those two that's why I came along I ain't taking any chances with strangers
23:02I'll be right behind you Chris don't I know it
23:49I'll be right behind you
24:07Why the kid ain't with him that makes things easy
24:21Why the kid ain't with him?

37:13aways.
37:14Why?
37:15He was down at Ojai and helped me load that trunk on the stage.
37:18And they thought it was mighty heavy.
37:19Asked me what was in it.
37:20What'd you tell him?
37:21I told him it was a bunch of your tools I was sending down to town to you.
37:24You seem mighty curious.

38:38I'll be there.
38:44By the way, where's that kid pal of yours?
38:48I ain't seen him the whole trip.
38:51I don't know, Sheriff.
38:53He'll be showing up.
39:19You're right.
39:20He's suspicious.
39:20We've got to get out of here.
39:28Hello, Griff.
39:29Hi, Pete.
39:39I don't know how to get out of here.
39:39Empty.
39:42Why, you was with me all the time, Sheriff.
39:45That's true.
39:46But where was that partner yours when he was getting a drink at the lake?
39:49Why, I...
39:50Don't tell me this man's driving your state.
39:54He sure is.
39:55Why, he and his pal are wanted in every state on the border.
39:59I was right.
40:01I suspicioned you two from the start.
40:03This man's a friend of mine, Sheriff.
40:05There's some mistake.
40:06Mistake or no mistake, I am holding him.
40:08Ten to one, his partner's got the money.
40:10What do you got to say?
40:12I'll hate to tell you, you fatter.
40:20I'm forming a posse to run down that partner of yours.
40:25Get going.
40:51I'm...
40:53I'm moving.
40:56I'm...
41:01I'm...
41:04I'm coming.
41:22Oh
41:43Oh
42:08Oh
42:44Oh
43:07Oh
43:54Mary
43:57They forced me to do it Bob
43:59They threatened to kill you if I didn't
44:02I went through with it just to save your life
44:05But why didn't you tell the sheriff
44:09Don't you understand
44:11I couldn't send my own father to jail
44:14Maybe to hang
44:16You see
44:18There have been men killed
44:24I think I am in
44:26But you don't have to worry about that anymore
44:30He'll never bother you again
44:32You mean you
44:33No
44:35He was killed
44:36When the buggy went over the cliff
44:42Hi Murphy
44:46We've got to get out of here
44:48No one must ever know about this
45:17We'll just keep circling the town

45:42He'll be back looking for his pal

45:54Grizz and I will be back for you later.
45:56All right, Bob.
46:00Stay here.
46:15Hands up there, outlaw.
46:17Get down.
46:21Search him.
46:28Just as I thought.
46:30I can explain this, Sheriff.
46:31I was just on my way to...
46:32On your way to find your pal, I know.
46:34He's in jail and that's where you are going.
46:37Get mounted.
46:38Get out of bed.
46:38Get out of bed.
46:53Get out of bed.
47:16put down that money don't be silly Mary I'm taking this dough and you're going
47:21with me I'm not going with you and you're leaving that money I am am I but
47:27I'll show you
48:01the
48:01the
48:02the
48:02That company's money!
48:04Listen, now let go of here!
48:06I'll put this thing! Let go of here!
48:08Let go of here!
48:09Shut the bat!
48:11Hand over that money, quick!
48:17I'm a United States Marshal, Miss.
48:19And I want you to tell me what all this is about.
48:24I will tell you!
48:26I'll tell you everything!
48:27Because you've got to help me save my friends!
48:29Who are your friends?
48:31Bob Rivers and Grizzly.
48:35Oh, so they stopped off here, eh?
48:39Well, go on with your story.
48:41I got everything figured out except how they got into that box.
48:45Well, how do you account for the kid bringing those bandits?
48:49Competition!
48:50The whole field for themselves!
48:52So you see, Grizzly, what else could I do?
48:54Don't you worry, son.
48:56We've been in tighter spots for this.
48:57I'm glad you've done what you did.
49:04How are you, Sheriff?
49:05Howdy, Marshal.
49:07I've got a prisoner I want locked up.
49:09That's easy.
49:10Bring out those two outlaws.
49:13I'm going to take them to the border.
49:14I'll be glad to get rid of them.
49:18Captain, go get their horses.
49:20There he is.
49:27Now, Kent, I figured I'd have you in here sooner or later.
49:32Come on, Arthur Coop.
49:36Now get in there.
49:40Put these on.
49:51Hmm.
49:53So I finally caught up with you, eh?
49:56You boys have been running wild for the last three years.
50:01But now you're coming with me.
50:04Now get going.
50:07Come on, Sheriff.
50:08Come on.
50:41I reckon you'd better take these.
50:44You might be lost without them out there in Montana.
50:48Now this is what's it for saving a certain Marshal's life on the border.
