01:45Hey, Hank.
01:47Oh, hello, Sheriff.
01:49The storm's made me a little bit nervous.
01:51I've been jumpy all night.
01:53It's time to stage, though.
01:55Oh, long about midnight, but the wrecking of the storm will hold it up some.
01:58And the middle fourth place will watch out.
02:01They'll have to wait here until the storm is over.
02:03Got a room?
02:05I've been riding all night.
02:06I want to get a little sleep before stage, you see.
02:09Expecting trouble?
02:10I'm always expecting trouble.
02:13There's a place around here where I can watch goings-on.
02:17I got it.
02:19My room.
02:21You see that, Bucko?
02:22Yeah.
02:23Well, you all you've got to do is pull it around just to one side, and you can see you
02:26put it in every corner of this room.
02:29Cracky say, that's Jeff made order.
02:31Call him when the stage is in.
02:33Will you, Hank?
02:33I'll ring the night bell.
02:35There's two beds up there.
02:36Take which one you want.
02:37Good night, Hank.
02:38Good night.
02:43What a night.
03:09Good night.
03:16Good night.
03:17Good night.

03:36Good night.
03:41Oh, my God.
04:07I've got a room with a stove in it.
04:09I'm chilling now, and I've got to steep me a cup of hot tea.
04:14Well, there's a coal oil and a stove in every room.
04:17Here's your tea.
04:39Just sign Mr. and Mrs. right there.
04:49I suppose you folks would like the bridal chamber?
05:03Well, how much?
05:05Well, we always get two dollars for the bridal chamber.
05:08You see, it's for the best in the house.
05:15And please be as quiet as you can.
05:18The man next to you gets up at five.
05:35Hello, Hank.
05:38I'm putting the bottom of the lake.
05:43Lock that up, will you, Hank?
05:464,000 in there.
05:48Hello.
05:49The lost load mine.
05:50Well, it would be safe here.
05:51It has to take away the safe to get it.
06:21Hey, in the morning, Hank.
06:41Well, speak up, young man.
06:43What is it?
06:45I can't find it.
06:47He can't?
06:51Well, what ever have you lost?
06:53I ain't lost nothing.
06:57Well, what in the world is it that you...
07:00That you can't find?
07:02Well, it's...
07:03It's clear that it's so happy.
07:06Oh, it's wonderful.
07:27Well, Hank, I reckon I had my trip for nothing.
07:31You see, I was just off a pokey-duck bandage hereabout.
07:34Well, you don't expect him out in a storm like this, will you?
07:38You can expect him anywhere there's money.
07:42If so, maybe.
08:31There's no doubt.
08:34I can't believe.
08:36You can't believe.
08:37– There's nothing.
08:50I don't know.
08:50Huh?
08:51Huh?
08:51Did you hear that?
08:52No, no.
08:53What is it?
08:53I don't know.
09:10My chimney is for PokΓ©Doc.
09:36Reckon your tip was right, Sheriff.
09:38But how did they get the combination?
09:40I don't know.
09:43What's that?
09:46That's a safe combination number.
09:49You watched it through the window when you opened it.
10:07No use trying to trail him tonight.
10:09No.
10:10By morning he'd be miles away.
10:12Just the same, I'm going to run him down if it takes me ten years.
10:17Good evening.
11:32Don't move.
11:34Put up your gun.
11:40Everything's all right, old timer.
11:43You're just in time for beans.
11:45Sit down.
11:49Think you're pretty slick, don't you?
11:51No, just careful.
11:53Well, you might have been the polka dot bandit.
11:55Or some other notorious outlaw.
11:57Yeah?
11:59Well, how do you know I ain't?
12:00Just by your looks.
12:02Come on, let's see.
12:10These beans sure smell good.
12:13Well, help yourself.
12:26Pretty slick on the draw, too, ain't you, son?
12:28No, old timer.
12:29Just force a habit.
12:30Well, don't get excited.
12:33See, I carry this for snakes.
12:35Oh, I ain't insinuating that you're a snake, but here's to me right now is a good time to open
12:40it.
12:41You have a drink?
12:43Well, in this particular case, yes.
12:46You mind if I roll up here for the night?
12:49No, old timer.
12:50I'd be right glad to know you better.
12:52Yeah?
12:54Well, I ain't so sure.
12:57Anyway, here's the mud in your eyes.
13:00And how.
13:25See any sign of Mason and the gang?
13:28Saw a cloud of dust down by Cotton Creek.
13:30Maybe the outlaws.
13:32Oh, hard to think so.
13:33How could they know when Mason was coming through?
13:36Well, how did they know before?
13:38I tell you, there's a skunk in this town and we ought to roll him down.
13:43We ought to be hearing from Sacramento.
13:45That letter was sent three weeks ago.
13:47All right.
13:48The government don't care nothing about us.
13:51We've got to help ourselves.
13:52You can't fight outlaws without ammunition.
13:55And we can get it.
14:16They're just entered in the pass.
14:18You boys know what to do.
14:20Remember, no harm has come to the girls.
14:40No sign of outlaws yet, Betty.
14:42But I still insist you shouldn't have come.
14:44Now, don't scroll, Dad.
14:47It's been a wonderful trip.
14:50Let's go.
15:12It's been a wonderful trip.
15:15Now, I'm going to see you later.
15:15Let me see you later.
16:15It's kind of lonesome, trailing alone.
16:18Yeah.
16:19If I ain't mistaken, you're going to have plenty of company.
17:11Outlaw, please help us.
17:31Dad!

19:29Dad!
19:32Dad!
19:46No sign of them.
19:48I reckon they were on the bottom.
19:59Well, they've never got you, old-timer.
20:02With the feel of my head, they did get me.
20:05What happened?
20:07I only shot you off your horse and you fell over the cliff.
20:11Into the water, eh?
20:12You pulled me out.
20:15Son, I reckon I owe you my life.
20:18I ain't forgetting that.
20:19Don't worry about that, Dad.
20:21We've got to get out of here.
20:23Think you can make it?
20:24Well, I'll make it or bust a cinch.
20:40Come on.
20:42Everything worked out just as you planned.
20:44Only we bumped into a couple of strangers.
20:46We had to run and fight.
20:48They got Jake, but they're on the bottom of the river.
20:50What about the girl?
20:51Are you sure she didn't recognize you?
20:53Nah, we didn't get close enough for that.
20:56She's probably in town by now.
20:58Come on.
21:15Hello, boys.
21:16Any worries from the factory?
21:18Here comes Freddy now.
21:19That's what she ought to do.
21:20Yeah.
21:36Where's your father?
21:38Where's Tom?
21:39Dad and Tom are dead.
21:41All right.
21:42Who killed them?
21:43They killed them.
21:44Who killed them?
21:45There, there.
21:46Tell us all about it, Miss Betty.
21:47Well, we were just coming through the pass, and...
22:03Then these men rode after the outlaws.
22:06I ran to Dad and found him...
22:09There, there, Miss Betty.
22:12I am...
22:22Miss Betty, you must let me take care of you.
22:26I want you to consider my ranch your home until we can make more definite plans for your future.
22:31I want you to know that I'll do everything possible to help you.
22:35And you'll send someone for him?
22:36I'm going myself.
22:38Right away.
22:40Oh, Mrs. Williams.
22:42I want you to take care of Betty until I return.
23:17In town, I reckon.
23:21Dead?
23:23Your daughter just told her.
23:25We were just going to bring him into town.
23:28Yeah?
23:29Well, you can give us a hand, then.
23:31You can get some...
23:38I know that's a real throw.
23:40Oh, ma'am.
23:51Boys!
23:52Some of you take care of me.
23:53What happened?
23:55What happened?
23:56All right.
23:57Oh, ma'am.
23:58Oh, ma'am.
24:00I want you to take care of me.
24:01Oh, ma'am.
24:14Don't move, either one of you.
24:16Now talk and talk fast.
24:18Where's the rest of your gang and the provisions?
24:20Why was it necessary to kill?
24:22You could have taken the packs without committing murder.
24:24Men, we found these two going through Mason's pockets.
24:27Now what's to be done?
24:28Get out of that gun!
24:32I keep him covered.
24:34Men, we didn't kill Mason.
24:36If you'll call his daughter, she'll prove it.
24:38His daughter's in no condition to be dragged out here and questioned.
24:41We're not trying to question anyone, but under the circumstances,
24:43I think Miss Mason will be glad to explain.
24:45Here she comes now.
24:48Miss Mason, these men have accused us of killing your father.
24:52Oh, no, Mr. Melrose.
24:53These are the men that drove the unroads away and saved my life.
24:56Well, in that case, we certainly owe you gentlemen an apology.
25:01You, of course, don't realize, but this town is in a most desperate state.
25:05We are without food and ammunition, terrorized by a band of murdering outlaws.
25:10Two attempts have been made now to bring in supplies,
25:13only to have our men killed and the food taken.
25:16If we don't get provisions here before snow sets in, we're trapped.
25:20We're trapped now.
25:21We can only last a few days longer.
25:24Let's all get out.
25:25A teller is the only solution.
25:27I think you're right.
25:28How can we get out when our money is all gone for food that we never got?
25:33Then I have a little money, not much, but I'll do this.
25:36In order that we can get out, I'll give you $100 each for your homestead.
25:40I'm taking a long chance of ever getting my money back, but I'll risk it.
25:44Oh, that's my square of the mill, Bruce.
25:46Come on, let's take that back.
25:49Get out of the net.
25:51Don't you think before you sell your homes for a few dollars
25:53that you should take at least one more chance at getting the provisions through?
25:57Our men have families.
25:59There's been enough killing.
26:03Why not let us take it quicker?
26:05If you can get us provisions, I'll pay you well.
26:07Forget that.
26:09You give us an order and we'll have the provisions back here inside of four days.
26:12Good. And come to my ranch this afternoon
26:15and I'll give you an order for a $1,000 supply.
26:17That's right.
26:20Let's back and get out.
26:32See that pal of Melgrove?
26:35You're going to be mighty interested in him right soon.
26:37Who is he?
26:39I'm keeping that for a surprise.
26:41Yeah?
26:42Well, I'm keeping a surprise for you, too.
26:49Come on.
26:50Come on.
26:52Come on.
27:13Show Miss Mason the spare room.
27:15Yes, senor.
27:25Remember, this is to be your home, Betty.
27:28It's going to be a great pleasure to have you with me.
27:51I thought you said those two men were at the bottom of the river.
27:54I'd swear those were the two we shot down.
27:57Hadn't been for those two meddlers, the town would be moving out right now.
28:00Well, anyway, you got the girl.
28:02And remember this. She's private property. Hands off.
28:06Yeah, you better tell the boys not to be talking around here.
28:09She might find out who you really are.
28:11Kent made another inspection of Homestead Valley.
28:14Swear's it'll be the richest gold strike ever discovered.
28:17Runs right through the middle of all the ranches.
28:19We'll soon be rid of those hombres.
28:21The town will move out, and we'll own the gold field.
28:36Take her to the hideout. We'll keep her in there till the town is deserted.
28:39You don't dare.
29:06I'm going over to Melgrove's and get that order.
29:10Okay, so.
29:10...
29:11...
29:38...
29:38...
30:44Only one came over.
30:46What are you doing in the bunkhouse?
30:48I don't know.
30:49But now is your chance.
30:51Remember, no shooting.
31:19You boys tell me where Melgrove is?
31:22Why, yeah.
31:23I think you'll find him right for...
31:35Come on, get in.
31:37I don't know.
31:38I'm not going to...
31:43I don't know.
31:47I don't know.
31:49I don't know.
31:52I don't know.
32:02I don't know.
37:02And the tail goes to the hide.
37:09We'll leave at dawn.
37:10They'll be coming too early.
37:13Where's the girl?
37:14In the strong room.
37:15She won't eat.
37:16She'll get over that.
37:17I'll have a talk with her tomorrow.
37:24Miss Mason?
37:28Betty?
37:29Oh, I'm so glad you found me.
37:31Tell me briefly what's happened.
37:33They caught me over here in their plants and brought me here.
37:36Melgrove is the leader.
37:37He's trying to force the people out so he can get their land.
37:39But why?
37:40Well, you see, under their topsoil is a rich gold deposit.
37:43And it runs right through all the ranches.
37:45Kent is in with them.
37:47Well, they'll be leaving early.
37:49I'll be back shortly after dawn to get you.
37:51Now try and get some sleep.
37:54Good night.
37:54Good night.
38:03Wake up, oldheimer.
38:05Huh?
38:05What's the matter?
38:06Clean out them ears.
38:07I got a world of news for you.
38:09Where have you been?
38:09I followed Melgrove to the hideout.
38:11That sounds interesting.
38:12Go on.
38:13Well, they're holding Miss Mason present.
38:15And I got to talk to her and she gave me the lowdown on the whole deal.
38:19Now listen to this.
38:26I got to talk to her and I got to talk to her and I got to talk to her

39:12I'll be back by noon.
39:14I want you to guard this place, boys.
39:15Keep your eye on the girl.
39:17If anybody comes, shoot.
39:20OK, boss.
39:50You try and find the wagon.
39:51I'll go get the girl.
39:52I'll go get the girl.
39:52I'll go get the girl.
40:03Go get the girl.
40:05Go get the girl.
40:24I'll go get the girl.
40:45I've located the wagon and the horses.
40:47Good. Give me a left here. We're taking this hombre with us.
40:50I'll take him.
40:51All right.
41:06Miss Nathan.
41:08Hurry and get ready. They've gone.
41:14Let's go.
41:15Let's go.
41:38Let's go.
42:00You've been tricked, Mel Grove. They're headed for the hideout.
42:17Keep back. I'm going to break this in.
42:29Let's go.
42:29Are you ready?
42:30Oh, I'll be naming my boots.
42:32I'll meet you at the tunnel.
42:33All right.
42:46Hey, son. There's enough drop in there to last a year. Come on.
43:13Now, just where do you think you're going?
43:15Ah!

44:51Good work, son, but we've got to hurry, they're coming back.
45:04Take that lone horse behind those trees and race for town.
45:10Hey, son, here's a box of dynamite. Might come in handy.
