An outlaw gang led by Frank Lambert robs the Virginia City bank, taking almost all of its money. The youngest gang member, Ben Cooper, manages to get a job on the Ponderosa as a bronc buster. He acts as an informant, reporting on any possee threats to the gang's hideout. While the Cartwright family generally welcomes the new hand, Little Joe becomes suspicious of his activities

00:03The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC.
00:27Hurry up, Sam.
00:28What do you say about it?
00:30Let it go.
00:47Hurry up.
00:49Make it fast.
00:50This whole town ain't deaf.
01:04Well, it looks like we made it clean, Pardo.
01:06They sure sleep sound in Virginia City, don't they?
01:08Let's go.
01:19Let's go.
01:27Sam.
01:30Ponderosa's off in that direction.
01:31Well, I reckon I can find it.
01:33You know what you're going to do when you get there.
01:35We've been over it 97 times, Pardo.
01:38Just once more.
01:39All right.
01:40I go to the Ponderosa and I hire on as a hand and I keep my ears open.
01:44And if a search party comes down this way, I let you know first.
01:47Especially if it's a platoon from the army.
01:50Then what?
01:51Well, then when things quiet down, I come on back and we light out.
01:57Mark that big old dead tree.
02:00We'll be a mile and a half south of here.
02:02You'll see a big granite boulder.
02:04Leads into a box canyon.
02:06That's where we'll be waiting.
02:08You just let old Sam take care of it.
02:10You're my eyes and my ears.
02:12I'm dependent on you, Sam.
02:15Let's go.
02:30Sam.
02:31Cover up those hoof prints.
02:34They probably want to know where you came from.
02:37Tell them about that ranch you used to work on.
02:39That fellow was always talking about the Ponderosa.
02:42That ought to convince him.
02:44What if it doesn't?
02:45What?
02:46What if somebody starts getting extra nosy?
02:49You got a gun, haven't you, Sam?
02:52Sam.
03:10What if somebody starts getting extra nosy?
03:47THE END
04:09Hey! Ride him, cowboy!
04:11Come on! Stick with him, Adam!
04:14Ride him, Adam!
04:15Come on, Adam!
04:17Fan him! Fan him!
04:18Come on!
04:24I told you it was too much horse for you, Adam.
04:28You're next, Bronc Buster.
04:31That's what they call me.
04:32Hey, Joe, you ain't been making no rash promises to Ellie McClure, have you?
04:36I ain't had a chance.
04:37Are you sure? Because there comes your paw and the sheriff right now.
04:47Hey, I wonder what they want.
04:48I don't know, but now, me, I always sort of went for June weddings with lots of apple blossoms.
04:54Yeah, well, you know, a fella could do a lot worse than Ellie McClure.
04:58Oh, excuse me all to pieces.
05:01Well, are you going to ride this thing or not?
05:04Come up!
05:11If you'll excuse me, ladies, it's time for your riding list.
05:31Now we'll see some fun.
05:35Hide him, Joe!
05:36Hide him!
05:37Hide him, Joe!
05:41Keep his head up, Joe!
05:42Hide him!

06:31What else do you do?
06:33Well, I've accidentally managed to break a horse or two in my day.

06:49What's this?
06:51Cowboy wants to try his luck on that hammerhead.
06:54You ever busted any broncs before, Button?
06:58One or two, I guess.
06:59Well, if you ain't for sure, right now would be a real good time to back out.
07:04Well, no, I don't reckon I'd want to do that.
07:16You think we should let him do it?
07:17Well, it's his hide.

27:34and
27:39Well, it wasn't much of a picnic for him.
27:42Paul, you reckon what to do a man's back like that?
27:47But the only thing I could figure is a bullwhip.
28:08What are you all looking at?
28:10Oh, forget it, Joe. Ain't nobody looking at you.
28:14Well, all right, what was I supposed to do?
28:16You didn't have to poke him.
28:17Oh, I didn't have to poke him.
28:18Look, he's the one who threw the first punch.
28:21Come on, now.
28:22You've been down on him ever since he rode that horse.
28:25I told you that's got nothing to do with it.
28:27Well, what is it then, Joe?
28:29What do you got against that boy?
28:32All right, I'll tell you.
28:32Rudy told me he saw him in town Thursday night.
28:35I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with a bank robbery.
28:40Hey, Joe, that's going a bit too far, ain't it, boy?
28:43It's a pretty serious charge, Joe.
28:46Do you have any real evidence to support it?
28:50Now, Rudy told me he thought he saw him in town.
28:52He thought he saw him in town.
28:55And do you call that real evidence?
29:00I guess not.
29:03I'm sorry, Pa.
29:04I should have known better.
29:06Huh?
29:07Look, maybe I better write after him, tell him I'm sorry.
29:10Yeah, good idea.
29:29Come on, too.
29:39Yeah, good idea.
29:40Yeah.
29:40Yeah.

30:39Hello, Sam.
30:42How's the boy?
30:43Just fine, Pardo.
30:44Things quieting down?
30:47No.

36:48i suppose they left that out
36:51it's all there
36:51now roy what's all this about
36:54since when do we hound a man who's paid for his mistake
36:58it wasn't exactly a mistake
37:02now just what does that mean
37:04he murdered his father in cold blood
37:10is what he's saying true
37:14yeah some
37:16he was my stepfather
37:19and he needed killing
37:22nobody needs killing
37:23he did
37:25i was six years old when my mother died
37:28you know what he did when we come back from the funeral
37:31he took a whip to me
37:33just to show you he says
37:35just to show you things are going to be different from now on
37:39that was my stepfather
37:42see
37:44from then on he beat me every day i can remember
37:48except when he was too drunk
37:53that it was he who
37:56did that to your back
37:58he did
38:02so i waited
38:04i waited till i figured i could handle him
38:09and i waited till he was stone cold sober
38:14i wanted him to know what was happening
38:16and who was doing it
38:18that's premeditated murder
38:20yeah
38:23and then one night he came for me
38:26and i was ready
38:29and i killed him
38:33i was 14 years old
38:37and that's what you served your sentence for
38:40for 10 years

39:22he can't prove where he was thursday night
39:23and he's got a prison record
39:25that's enough to take a man
39:26that's not enough to take a man off this ranch
39:30now what does that mean ben
39:33roy half the people in this territory
39:35couldn't prove where they were thursday night
39:36and as for a man having a prison record
39:38once he served his sentence
39:40his debt is paid
39:40and that's it
39:43the boy stays here
39:45you're refusing to cooperate with the law
39:47i'm refusing to allow you to lock the boy up without a valid reason
39:50no law in the world says you can do that
39:55i could deputize some men
39:56well sheriff i reckon you better get you a whole bunch of them
40:02all right
40:03all right ben
40:04but it's your responsibility
40:06ben you're sticking your neck out a country mile

44:51Adam, are you around?
45:02I got hit in the head.
45:04Kirby slammed into me and ran off.
45:08I guess he had us all fooled.
45:09And particularly me.
45:11I think the sheriff is right about him.
45:13Little Joe, too.
45:16He might have the answer to Joe's wellbots.
45:19Well, let's get awesome.
45:20Get saddled up and pick up this trail as soon as it turns light.
45:32All right.
45:32Once more.
45:34You're wasting your time.
45:35Which way?
45:44About time you were getting here.
45:45We got to get moving.
45:46What are you doing to him?
45:50What did you find out?
45:51Did you find out which way the horse soldiers were coming in?
45:53No.
45:54I didn't get a chance.
45:56Well, maybe we still have a chance.
45:59He probably knows which way they're coming in.
46:02Why don't we just have you make him tell us?
46:05Yeah, why don't you make me talk, Sam?
46:10Go on.
46:11After all, you're practically one of the family.
46:16Oh, what are you waiting for?
46:20You ask him.
46:22That living with the Cardroids is making you go soft.
46:24It's his kind that put you in jail and took eight years out of your life.
46:27You're forgetting that?
46:27No, I'm not forgetting that.
46:29But I know the Cardroids well enough to know that he won't talk.
46:32Now, if we stay here any longer, we'll never get out of here.
46:34Let's get going now.
46:35He'll never get out of here.
46:38When my Pa and brothers find out I didn't come home all night,
46:40them and the cavalry will be all over the place.
46:42You're not going to make it.
46:44Maybe we won't.
46:46But you won't be alive to know it.
46:48Kill him.
46:49Hold it, Link.
46:50He just gave us the answer.
46:52Yeah?
46:53Yeah.
46:53Take him with us.
46:55Joe Cartwright riding out there in front.
46:57Then if we get trouble from any of the other Cartwrights,
46:59he gets a bullet right in the back.
47:03Might work.
47:05Ramos, go get Andy and saddle up the horses.
47:10Link, get the money out of the cave.
47:11All right, Cardo.
47:19Cardo!
47:34You sure waited long enough.
47:36You took ten years off my life.
47:38Well, I just hope I didn't take ten years off my life, too.
47:41All right, don't worry.
47:49You got friends now.
47:51Friends that'll stick by you.
47:54I know that.
47:56I'll be all right.
48:01What about those other two?
48:03Yeah, let's pick them up.
48:05Oh.
