Virginia City is plagued by a powerful gang running a protection racket, forcing citizens to pay or suffer the consequences. A gang member murders a shopkeeper in front of his wife, Beth. The Cartwrights get involved, deputizing themselves to uphold the law and sentencing the murderer to hang at dawn, but the gang leader kidnaps Ben Cartwright and holds him hostage to prevent the execution.

00:08Hey, hey, now, why don't you look where you're going?
00:10I'm sorry, I didn't see you.
00:11You don't sound half sorry to me.
00:14Look, I said I was sorry. Why don't we leave it at that?
00:16If you don't mind, we'll call the shots.
00:17Now, suppose you use the other side of the street.
00:19Joe! Joe, come here!
00:25Your daddy's calling, you little boy.
00:31All right, I'll take you one at a time.
00:33Joe!
00:37What's the matter, Joe? Did you hear me calling you?
00:45You see what they were trying to do?
00:47Yes, I saw what they were trying to do.
00:48I also saw the half dozen men across the street ready to back them up.
00:51Well, I don't care how many there are.
00:53Look, what's got into this town? You can't walk down the street anymore.
00:56We're just going to stand by and let them get away with it.
00:58Now, look, do you think that walking into what crap they've deliberately said for you
01:02and getting your head broken is going to stop them?
01:07Get along to Mr. Cameron's door and help Haas blow the supplies.
01:10I'll round up Adam and join you.
01:27Now, Cameron, what's your answer?
01:30You know my answer.
01:32I won't back down for you or Sam Bryant or any of the gang.
01:38Well, now, that's just plum too bad.
01:42No.

06:52Order in the court.
06:54Please be seated.
06:56Please be seated.
06:57Order.
07:00All right.
07:02Quiet now.
07:03You want to see Farmer Perkins get a fair hearing now, don't you?
07:08Well, you're good.
07:09All right, now sit down, everybody.
07:14We're right ahead, Your Honor.
07:18Are the witnesses present?
07:20Two of them are right here, Your Honor.
07:23Your Honor, before you start, I think you should know these two didn't say a thing.
07:27Are you acting as lawyer for Mr. Perkins?
07:30Well, Your Honor, I'm acting like just what I am.
07:34Farmer Perkins' friend.
07:38I'll not have any more of these outbursts.
07:45All right, Mrs. Cameron.
07:48Is Mrs. Cameron present in the court?
07:51Your Honor, if I may.
07:53Yes, Doctor?
07:54Mrs. Cameron is in no condition to testify at the present time.
07:57Yes, but she was an eyewitness to the alleged crime.
08:00Do you measure emotions by the clock, Your Honor?
08:03This woman just saw her husband shot down in cold blood.
08:11Doctor, you'll please resist passing judgment.
08:14I ask you if Mrs. Cameron is present in this court.
08:17No, she is not.
08:19She's in my office, a very sick woman.
08:21May I ask the nature of her illness?
08:23You certainly may.
08:24It's the same sickness that afflicts this entire town.
08:28Fear!
08:35Can we now hear from the other witnesses?
08:37Well, sure, we're all witnesses, everyone here.
08:40Hey, that's right.
08:41All the witnesses for you any time, Farmer.
08:43How do you hear, Your Honor?
08:45These here are my character witnesses.
08:48Best money can buy.
08:55I'll not have a travesty made of my court.
09:01I'll testify, Your Honor.
09:04My brother and I were outside of Cameron's store when we heard the shot.
09:07We ran in and found Farmer Perkins.
09:10Mr. Cameron was on the floor dead and his wife was standing over him.
09:13That's exactly the way it happened.
09:15But you did not see the actual shooting.
09:21No, Your Honor, we did not.
09:27All right, Mr. Perkins.
09:30Well, now, Your Honor, my good friends here, the Cartwright boys,
09:34they've already said all I know.
09:36It's the same thing with me, exactly.
09:39I heard a shot, I ran in, and that was poor Mr. Cameron.
09:44And that right pretty wife of his.
09:47Don't suppose she shot him, do you?
09:50Hey, let's try it there, Carter.
09:51She must have done it.
09:52Hey, let's try it there.
09:56Are there any other eyewitnesses to the alleged shooting?
10:00I mean, other than Mrs. Cameron.
10:02Judge, you know as well as I do what kind of man Farmer Perkins is.
10:07At this moment, Mr. Perkins' character is not on trial.
10:11Due to the failure of our only eyewitness to appear, I must adjourn this hearing.
10:19I said adjourn it.
10:22Only until Mrs. Cameron is available to testify.
10:26Meanwhile, the suspect is to remain in the custody of the sheriff.
10:30Oh, hey, now, what's he talking about?
10:32Just a minute.
10:35He's subject to bail, isn't he?
10:37I mean, he hasn't been charged with anything yet.
10:43I've already drawn up the paper, Your Honor.
10:47Hey, listen, hey, what was he talking about, Carter?
10:50Come on, give him a drink.
10:52All right, Ben.
10:53You saw it.
10:55All legal, right down the line.
10:57I could have told you that it happened.
10:59Well, I just don't know what's gotten into the people of this town.
11:01They're just going to stand by and watch them get away with a cold-blooded murder,
11:05because that's all it is, a cold-blooded murder.
11:09Well, I'm not sure the people of this town care one way or the other.
11:13Now, what you're saying is that this case is closed.
11:16Is that it?
11:17Well, you saw what happened.
11:19I arrested Perkins, I had a hearing, and he's out there walking around.
11:23Look, Sheriff, if you want to do something, why don't you start by arresting Sam Bryant?
11:26He's the head man.
11:27On what charge, son?
11:29Associating with bad company?
11:30Keeping order in the mines?
11:32That's what he was hired for, that's what him and his men do.
11:35Well, now it's gone a lot further than that, Sheriff.
11:37They've taken over the whole town.
11:41Oh, they have.
11:42Well, he could have stopped it before it went that far.
11:44By myself?
11:45With no deputies?
11:46Not a soul to back me up?
11:49What is it you expect me to do?
11:51Well, I don't know what to expect of you, but I know what I'm going to do.
11:55I'm going to get Beth Cameron to testify.
11:58And if she does, the judge is going to reopen the hearing and set a trial immediately.
12:03And if that's done, will you re-arrest Farmer Perkins?
12:09I'm a practical man, Ben.
12:11And a sociable one.
12:14I don't like taking chances on my life.
12:17But if I'm going to,
12:20I won't come at him.
12:26I've got the right to sway on deputies.
12:29Deputies is what I want before I go after Farmer Perkins again.
12:38Now, you made the complaint, Ben.
12:40Now, I've offered the same chance to have people in this town.
12:52I know Beth Cameron will testify.
12:57There was a hearing a while ago.
13:00You were needed at that hearing.
13:02You weren't there.
13:05What do you want me to do?
13:09Isn't one killing enough?
13:11My husband's dead, isn't he?
13:15My husband tried to stand up to Sam Bryant and they killed him.
13:19And if I try to stand up to them, they'll kill me.
13:22Is that what you want?
13:24No, of course not.
13:26And it won't happen.
13:29Suppose my sons and I promise to protect you.
13:33Would you testify then?
13:34Can you promise to protect all of Virginia City?
13:37And the judge?
13:38Can you promise to keep Perkins in jail?
13:41That he won't go free?
13:42Or break out and come after us?
13:48All right, Mrs. Cameron.
13:50Let's just say that your husband died for nothing.
14:00Ben, wait.
14:05Please, help me.
14:13Judge Scribner will be in town for a few more hours only.
14:19He says he'll hold a trial.
14:22If he can have witnesses.
14:27Will you come for me, Ben?
14:32You can depend on that, Mrs. Cameron.
14:40Come on, you take him.
14:43Okay, go.
14:46Come on there.
14:47Come on there, Jim.
14:49Come on.
14:51Come on, go get him.
14:53Go get him.
14:53Put him down there.
14:54That's it, Jim.
14:55You got him.
14:55You got him.
15:02You just run out of luck.
15:08Go on, farmer.
15:09You can take him.
15:10Come on, Sean.
15:22All right, boys.
15:22Leave him right where they are.
15:25Now, you wouldn't want to spoil all the fun, would you, boys?
15:29The trial's going to resume at one o'clock.
15:31Trial?
15:32Again?
15:34That judge sure is a glutton for punishment, ain't it, boys?
15:37Yeah, wait.
15:38What trial are you talking about?
15:39That trial's over.
15:39It's all right, boys.
15:40Don't get excited.
15:42We're going to have a repeat performance.
15:44Come on down to the courthouse with me.
15:46Yeah, don't worry.
15:46Don't worry, Farmer.
15:47We'll be with you, boy.
15:48We'll be with you, Farmer.
15:49Take care, now.
15:57Will you answer the question, please, Mrs. Cameron?
16:04Farmer Perkins threatened to wreck our store unless my husband paid him for what he called protection.
16:17My husband said he'd never back down.
16:22Farmer Perkins drew his gun and shot my husband.
16:30Thank you, Mrs. Cameron.
16:44The defendant will please rise.
16:53Since you waive trial by jury, it becomes my sworn duty to pass sentence on you.
17:00I hereby find you guilty of murder as charged.
17:09Mr. Perkins, I sentence you to hang by the neck until dead.
17:16The execution is to take place in the yard of the town jail tomorrow at dawn.
17:23This case is closed.
17:33You owe the top cars temporarily.
17:36Not for long.
17:38I promise you, Cartwright, you'll never live to see the day that Farmer Perkins hangs.
17:57I've never seen a jail cell before.
18:00Well, this isn't a sale, Mrs. Cameron.
18:02This is a sheriff's room.
18:05Do I have to spend the night here?
18:08Yeah, I'm afraid so, ma'am.
18:10See, we haven't got enough men to watch your house, and Pa thought you'd be a lot safer in protective
18:13custody.
18:18What are they doing?
18:21Can't have a hanging without a gallows, ma'am.
18:26Killings and beatings and now a hanging.
18:32Won't we ever have a decent town to live in?
18:36That's what we're trying to get, Mrs. Cameron.
18:40You have to believe that.
18:54Well, Judge, all I can say is that the example you set us today was a very necessary one.
18:58And I can assure you that by the time you get back here next month, things will be a lot
19:02more peaceful around here.
19:03Thank you very much, Ben.
19:04Please don't wait around the stage.
19:05You'll be leaving in a few minutes.
19:06No.
19:07Your boys will be needing you at the jail.
19:09As a matter of fact, Judge, those boys can get along without me very well.
19:13Although I wouldn't want them to know that.
19:16But we are a bit short-handed.
19:19Good night, sir.
19:20Good night, Ben.
19:21And good luck.
19:23Yeah.
19:39Good night, sir.
19:40Good night, sir.
19:41Good night, sir.
19:41Good night, sir.
19:41Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:42Good night, sir.
19:43Good night, sir.
19:43Good night, sir.
19:51Good night, sir.
20:16Over there.
20:23Tie his hands. Keep an eye on it.
20:27Norton, take a couple of the boys and circulate around out there.
20:30Let me know if you hear anything.
20:32Right, Sam.
20:34That's all, boys. Game's over.
20:36Got some writing to do.
20:56You sure that Gallus is gonna be ready on time?
20:59What time is dawn?
21:01Five o'clock. A little before five.
21:03But I've got the hangin' set for five o'clock sharp.
21:06We won't keep the farmer waitin'.
21:18What is it, Sheriff?
21:21What's the matter?
21:29Hey, sir! Where's your hurry?
21:31You runnin' for a re-election?
21:35Where's your dad?
21:36What's keepin' him?
21:38He oughta been here a half-hour ago.
21:40I know. I'm gettin' worried about him.
21:42The judge has probably trapped him into some long-winded discussion in the law or somethin'.
21:47No, not tonight.
21:48I just wanted to make sure this was no crazy man's idea of a joke.
21:52Read that.
21:56Hang Farmer Perkins and we hang Ben Cartwright.
22:03Set Farmer Perkins free, give him a horse and a half-hour head start,
22:07and we'll send Cartwright back to you.
22:15Shut up, Perkins!
22:17You'll still hang.
22:21Or Willie.
22:26Now, I don't want to rub it in, but you boys got us into this.
22:29Now, if you've got any suggestions for getting us out...
22:33Have you?
22:34Just this.
22:35Before you three go off half-cock, let me give you a little advice.
22:40There's only one sensible way to get out of this mess.
22:44What's that?
22:46Let Farmer Perkins go.
22:50We don't see it your way, Sheriff.
22:53No, we don't.
22:57All right.
22:59You boys think you're a match for old Sam Bryant?
23:03One of the toughest, smartest gunmen that ever shot up a mine in camp?
23:08Him and his men outnumber us five to one.
23:11He's got this whole town in his grip that's scared of him.
23:17He got you scared too, Sheriff?
23:20I got just one life, Joe.
23:22It's against my principles to better it wildly.
23:26But now, if you boys want to play games with your father's life as the prize, you got the authority.
23:35Now, let's see if you can come up with a practical plan.
23:40We got six hours. We ought to be able to come up with something.
23:43Like what?
23:45Like a search.
23:47Search every house till we find Pa.
23:48How do you know he's in town?
23:50Maybe they've got him hidden in a mine or someplace.
23:54Besides, we've got neither the time or the men for a search.
23:57Sheriff, let me ask you something.
24:02What would happen if we went right ahead with the preparation for the hanging just like nothing happened?
24:06And they never would know whether we got that message or not.
24:09Could you send another messenger?
24:11That's right.
24:12And we'd be waiting for him.
24:13And we'd jump him?
24:14No.
24:15We'd follow him.
24:16We'd follow him right to where they're holding our paw.
24:19Now, that's the first good suggestion I've heard tonight.
24:23Adam, you stay here.
24:25I'll take the boys, stake them out so we can keep an eye on anybody that might come around.
24:31Let's go.
24:41Howdy, Doc.
24:43There are some of us you can count on, Sheriff.
24:45We're spotted around watching the jail in case Sam Bryant and his men try to rush it.
24:49Well, that's not Sam Bryant's way of thinking.
24:52But I'm much obliged to you anyway, Doc.
24:54All right.
24:55Hey, Doc.
24:55Yes?
24:56We're expecting a caller.
24:58Don't stop him.
24:59Just keep out of sight.
25:00We'll do that.
25:03House, over there by those stairs.
25:07Joe, get back there in the alley.
25:09Right.
25:10Keep your eye on the shore.
25:25Keep your eye on the shore.
25:45Put your eye on the shore.
25:46That was a little bit today.
25:48Appearance.
25:50We'll take you after 128 time of the mountain.
25:50Sometimes it was terrible, and time will be combined or just be sitting.
25:51And that's the LA ticketement.
25:53That's the passoic park.
25:54We must've made it up on one bureaucrat encore than one direction, afterward.
25:54So long, after we, it was even four feet, all served on a track for the first DOWN.
25:55To take 38,000 feet of the mountainside, again, in the rest of the building vibe to do the will.
25:56We'll do that much again for the first part in the normal Seriously ì§„valley Center case.
26:02Such avenaway system.
26:03Stay let's go.
26:04We've always seen a lot of distance coming out of sight.
29:35It was Alan.
29:36They shot him down.
29:38He got the sheriff.
29:40How far away?
29:41They didn't see you come here?
29:42No, they didn't see me.
29:46Sam, why don't we give it up?
29:49They got guns guarding that jail.
29:51I'm giving up nothing.
29:54I'm getting Farmer Perkins out of that jail, I'm getting Farmer Perkins out of that jail, and I'll still be
29:58running this town.
29:59I like the way you talk, Sam.
30:02I'm with you.
30:02You can count on me.
30:04Good boy.
30:08Good boy.
30:14Good boy.
30:20I'll see you next to you next to you next to you next to you next to you next to

30:50Hey! Stop that dead blastin' hammerin' out there!
30:54Honey's making him out of sleep!
31:09Sure hope the sheriff makes it.
31:12Doctor's doing everything he can for him, Adam.
31:15Besides, it's our Paul we ought to be worried about.
31:17Well, we already tried one scheme and all we did was kill the messenger that might have led us back
31:21to him.
31:21Talk like we might as well give up.
31:23What are you figuring on doing? Just sitting there?
31:25Well, now, if you've got any ideas, I'd like to hear them.
31:29Well, I'm with the horse. We gotta do something.
31:30Well, just exactly what?
31:32Well, we could at least go around to the saloons and see if we couldn't pick up something.
31:35Look, Sam Bryant's got his spies all over the place. You'll only pick up what he wants you to pick
31:39up.
31:39You sure think he's smart, don't you?
31:40Yes, I do, because he is.
31:48I'm again in the field the key lies in Bryant's mind.
31:51What do you mean?
31:52A couple hours ago when the sheriff was all set to let Farmer Perkins go.
31:56You were both against it.
31:58Now, do you still hold to that?
32:02Well, Adam, it was a couple hours ago.
32:06We still thought we could find Paul by dawn.
32:09And now you're not so sure?
32:11Well, you're not making it any easier the way you're going about it.
32:14Look, all I asked was if you're still intent on hanging Farmer Perkins.
32:17I don't know. I don't want to stand here and play question and answer games.
32:20They got my father out there and they threatened to kill him.
32:22Maybe you forgot that, brother, but I haven't.
32:24Joe, I feel the same way about it you do.
32:27I done told you that.
32:29But Paul sure wouldn't want us all fighting among ourselves.
32:32Right, then let him start making sense.
32:34Well, if you give me a chance, maybe I will.
32:42Now, look at it this way.
32:45What would Bryant do if, say, come dawn,
32:49we simply went ahead and hung Farmer Perkins?
32:53Regardless of what Sam Bryant said he'd do to our pa.
32:57Regardless.
32:59Now, what would you do if you were wrong, Adam?
33:02Would you go out to my father's grave and say,
33:04I'm sorry, Pa, I made a big mistake?
33:07Joe, he's my father, too.
33:11Adam.
33:13I sure hope you're right in your thinking.
33:16Because I don't like the sound of it any more than Joe does.
33:21Look.
33:23If we let Farmer Perkins go,
33:24then Sam Bryant has proved that you can get away with murder in this town.
33:27And he'll have no qualms about going ahead and hanging Pa anyway.
33:30You still haven't told me how we're gonna get Pa away from him.
33:33On the other hand, we go ahead and hang Farmer Perkins
33:35and we show that we punish murderers.
33:38And Sam Bryant will see that his only chance is to let Pa go.
33:41Oh, come on, Adam.
33:42First you stand there and tell me how smart you think Sam Bryant is,
33:44then you say he's gonna back down.
33:46He's never been afraid of the law in this town.
33:48No, but he's never been charged with murder either.
33:51And once Sam Bryant knows that he's facing a murder charge,
33:54I figure he'll be smart enough to back down.
33:58And that's why we gotta go ahead and hang Farmer Perkins.
34:04I'm sorry, Adam. I can't go along with it. It's too big a gamble.
34:08Adam,
34:10you go right ahead thinking like that if you want to.
34:13But you're gonna have to do it alone.
34:16We're gonna go find Pa. Come on, Joe.
34:32Try it one more time.
34:34Only shorten the rope a bit.
34:36Not Farmer's a tall one.
34:38Don't want his feet to touch the bottom.
34:46Old Comstock's staying up for the hanging.
34:49Yeah, there's no lack of people.
34:51Not one single lead on Pa.
34:55Come on, little Joe. We still got lots of looking to do.
35:07What you looking at?
35:08I just wanted to see exactly what kind of a life I'm putting in the balance with my father's.
35:14Before you let me go, huh?
35:16What makes you think I'll let you go?
35:22You don't worry me none.
35:25Brown will get me out of here.
35:27He's smart.
35:29And besides, what kind of son would swap his own Pa's life for mine?
35:34You got 90 minutes left. Do you want to talk to a preacher?
35:41Preacher.
35:42What's so funny?
35:44I killed a preacher once.
35:46Back in Kansas, I think it was.
35:48What for?
35:49For preaching at me.
36:12What's the right note?
36:17Do.
36:20to your sons.
36:22Tell them I'm running out of patience.
36:34That off.
36:42Tell them to let Farmer Perkins go.
36:45In one hour, their father will be wearing a new necktie.
37:05I'll raise my sons to make their own decisions.
37:244-0-8.
37:26The time's run out for looking anymore.
37:29Yeah, they've got him out there somewhere.
37:30Yeah, if we just knew where.
37:32Well, even if we knew, three of us against ten or more of them.
37:35It's a risk I'd be willing to take, Adam, for what we got at stake.
37:38All right, so would I.
37:39But in a wild gunfight, who'd be sure and get killed?
37:42One of Bryant's men to take it out on Pa first.
37:46Come on in here.
37:50Where are you going?
37:51Guild Saloon.
37:52I'm going to announce exactly where I stand, so we'll be sure and get back to Bryant.
37:59Well, if you can convince that bunch over there, you can convince me.
38:03Just remember, a lot of Bryant's men will be there and stir the mob up against me.
38:06Lock the door after us.
38:08You'd better hurry back.
38:09The hanging's at five.
38:20Ring card right over here.
38:26Sorry we couldn't build you fancy gallows like the town would have said to make do.
38:32Get up on the table.
38:33Come on.
38:42Ain't you going to wait to see if they hang the farmer?
38:45Sure.
38:46I just want to see if the noose is high enough.
38:52What's the matter with you and Orton?
38:54Something bothering you?
38:56No.
38:57Nothing.
38:59I'll hang him.
39:00I like doing it.
39:02Whether they hang my friend Farmer Perkins or not, I'll enjoy it.
39:07Look, look, look, look.
39:19Perfect fit.
39:22Godvite, you never looked so good to me.
39:29Get down.
39:37Now, I want Sam Bryant and all of you to understand the following.
39:42From now on, all murders will be hanged in Virginia City.
39:46And the first hanging to take place will be that of Farmer Perkins this morning at 5 a.m. is
39:50scheduled.
39:52And any future murderers will also be hanged.
39:55And if Sam Bryant wants to escape hanging, he'll let my father go.
40:01I know, I know, Brian, kid, better than you do.
40:03He don't fool around.
40:04You're signing your pa's own death warrant.
40:08It's that badge.
40:09That stinking badge is going to...
40:29Is it the badge?
40:31Is it the law, the principle?
40:35It's only part of it.
40:36So that's the way pa would think.
40:38Then it's all a matter of your thinking that you know Bryant's mind.
40:43That you can out-bluff him in this little poker game you're playing.
40:47Yeah, I guess it comes down to that.
40:50But, Adam, it's Paul's life you're gambling with.
40:53What if you lose?
40:57Don't you think I thought of that?
41:20Got right.
41:22His son, Adam, is now acting sheriff.
41:25Says he's going to go ahead and hang Farmer Perkins regardless.
41:29Then leaving it up to me whether or not you swing.
41:33Good.
41:34Good for him.
41:36He's bluffing.
41:38You think so?
41:40You know how stubborn we cartwrights can be, if we want to be.
41:45Yeah, stubborn, but not stupid.
41:48Still time to write him a note.
41:50Bring him to his senses.
41:53Why?
41:54He's doing exactly what I'd do.
41:58Then hang.
42:02Then you'll hang.
42:06Because that'll be the last straw this town would need to bring it to its senses.
42:12Tell me, Bryant.
42:14How do you think it'll feel to hang?
42:17In about 30 minutes, you're going to find out, Carter.
42:20Remember, that's my rope over there.
42:2430 minutes.
42:32I'm getting out of here, Sam.
42:34Norton!
42:37You make another move toward that door, I'll kick.
42:39No, you won't, Sam.
42:42You ain't got the guts to do your own killing.
42:48And don't you do it for him, McNeil.
42:51One shot, and that'll bring a crowd running in here.
42:55And you'll be the one that's going to hang for killing me, not him.
42:58No, I stick by Sam, and he sticks by me.
43:01He's sticking by the farmer, ain't he?
43:03Well, he ain't going to let the farmer hang, is he?
43:05I don't know, McNeil.
43:07Why don't you wait and see?
43:09And when you find out,
43:11you come and let me know.
43:14I'll be around.
43:24I'll be around.
43:39Where's Haas and little Joe?
43:42They're outside watching things.
43:46Adam,
43:48I know what it's like to lose someone.
43:52Do you?
43:55And to know that you're the cause of it?
44:01Adam, Ben Cartwright's worth 10,000 farmer Perkins.
44:05There's still time.
44:06Let Perkins go.
44:13Come on, get up.
44:24Put the noose around his neck.
44:40All right, get down.
44:46Come here, I want to show you something.
44:51Get on down the corner.
44:52You can see the jail from there.
44:55Now, when they turn Perkins loose,
44:56come on back here and let me know.
44:57What difference does it make
44:58we're going to hang Cartwright anyway, ain't we?
45:01Just get down there and let me know.
45:03Okay, I just want to be in on the fun, that's all.
45:11You know, there wasn't any need to send the boy.
45:15Because they'll hang Perkins, all right.
45:19And after they do,
45:20they'll be coming here for you.
45:26Let him come.
45:27They've been after me before.
45:30They haven't got a thing they can prove against me.
45:32They will have.
45:34After you hang me.
45:38Shut up, Cartwright.
45:40Shut up, Proudlyank.
45:41This table I've run to you right now.
46:11You'll never go through with it.
46:18What's so funny?
46:19The old being Cartwright.
46:21I bet he ain't so high-minded
46:23with a rope around his neck.
46:41Let go of me!
46:43Come on, let go!
46:56We found him down by the corner.
46:59It's McNeil.
47:00What are Bryant's men?
47:03What'd you do with my pa?
47:04Where is he?
47:07It's five o'clock.
47:18It's five o'clock.
47:19You hung him.
47:20You hung the farmer.
47:22We told you we were going to the boy.
47:31All right.
47:32All right.
47:32All right.
47:32You want to know where your pa is?
47:34I'll tell you where he is.
47:35He's down at the old stable
47:37hanging on the end of a rope.
47:38You thought you'd back Sam Bryant down.
47:40Will you go down there and see?
47:43Go, go, go, go, go.
47:44Go on, stay away.
47:53Listen to me, all of you.
47:55Look.
47:56I brought Ben Cartwright back.
47:59I didn't do nothing.
48:00Now, look.
48:01I'm giving him back his gun.
48:04You're done right hanging Farmer Perkins.
48:07You turned yellow.
48:10You let the farmer down.
48:12You're just like Norton said you was.
48:14You let other people do your killing for you.
48:18Oh.
48:35You feel all right, Pa?
48:37Yeah, I'm all right.
48:38It's fine.
48:41You know something?
48:43You boys look awful good to me.
49:30You're just like Norton said you were.
49:34Oh.
49:36Oh.
49:37Oh.
