00:02The
01:13Have you ordered me, Cap?
01:15How are you feeling?
01:16I'm feeling fine.
01:18Know where we're playing tomorrow?
01:21Yes, I know.
01:22Prairie City.
01:24Well, I thought maybe you might not want to face them up there.
01:27So I'll put another act in your place and you sort of take it easy, huh?
01:32That's not necessary, Cap.
01:34It's been five years.
01:36They've probably forgotten about it anyway.
01:39You've got something else on your mind, haven't you?
01:48It's about your father, Betty.
01:50What about him?
01:51He's broke in jail.
01:53Did they get him?
01:55No, he's still up.
01:56Happened about a week ago.
01:59I read it in the Prairie City paper.
02:03I'm sorry, darling, but you have to know it sometime.
02:07I'm sorry, too.
02:09You should have done it, Cap.
02:11Well, hell's no use worrying about that now.
02:13But you see what I meant when I said about taking the day off tomorrow?
02:18Might be a little embarrassing.
02:20Embarrassing?
02:20Why should it be?
02:25Well, the lab will have a little hard feeling about you up there,
02:29on account of your father, I mean.
02:30And I just sort of figured that...
02:32That's all the more reason I should face them, Cap.
02:34We've got nothing to be ashamed of.
02:37You think I'd let you down.
02:39Well, as a matter of fact, Betty,
02:41what you're doing is exactly what I expected you to do.
02:43Now you go hit the hay, old trooper.
02:45Yes, sir.
02:49You look worried.
02:52Maybe I am.
02:53A little.
03:11Have you ever been in Prairie City?
03:12No, this is my first trip.
03:15You're going to have to show me around.
03:16I sort of dread strange places.
03:19I think I know what you mean.
03:22I dread it, too.
03:24But I thought you knew the place.
03:27That's just the trouble.
03:29I do.
04:12I saw the boat in the Narrows.
04:14I saw the boat in the Narrows.
04:14When does it reach Prairie City?
04:16Maybe two or three hours.
04:17It's going to be awful hard getting on board until after dark, Mr. Wetson.
04:21Tonight will be all right.
04:24I'll give you a note.
04:26I'm sure Betty gets it.
04:28But don't let anybody see you give it to her.
04:30Understand?
04:34Get your tickets here for the greatest show that ever hits Prairie City.
04:39Hurry, hurry, hurry.
04:40Get your tickets here.
04:43Step right up, folks.
04:45Get your tickets here for the greatest show that ever hits Prairie City.
04:49It's just about to start, folks.
04:52Thank you, sir.
04:53Hurry, hurry, hurry.
04:54Get your tickets here.
04:55Just a minute, gentlemen.
04:57Get your tickets here.
04:58Official business.
05:00Take over, Lou.
05:01All right, Captain.
05:06All right, folks.
05:08You seen anything?
05:09Not yet, Sheriff.
05:10I know everybody that's come aboard so far.
05:12I still don't think he'd risk coming up here.
05:14It's a sucker move.
05:16Wetson's no sucker.
05:17He's sharp.
05:17He figures he'll be safer in the crowd than trying to make it alone.
05:21I know that guy.
05:22Well, keep your eyes open, boys.
05:24How many, sir?
05:26Four?
05:26Yes, sir.
05:27All right, sir.
05:28Step right along, please.
05:30There's plenty of tickets and plenty of room.
05:33Thank you, sir.
05:34All right, lady.
05:35How many?
05:47All right.
05:50All right.
06:04The End
06:29The End
07:09The End
07:41The End
07:57The way you smile reminds me of the one I used to know
08:01There's many a rose in Texas if you're looking where they grow
08:06There's a cowboy back in Texas
08:09Well, he's really just a friend
08:11He lives down by the Rio where the river makes a bend
08:16Well, you know, my rose of Texas lives across on the other shore
08:21So as long as they're together, we won't see them anymore
08:26She's a rose of rarest beauty this fellow ever knew
08:32Her eyes are bright as diamond
08:35But it's far to light the blue
08:37You're listening of other pretty gals from Maine to Tennessee
08:42But a certain one of Texas is the only one for me
09:02Just a minute
09:04Hello, Ms. Weston
09:05How do you do, Cheryl?
09:07You wanted to see me?
09:08I'd like to ask you a few questions
09:10When did you hear from your father, Les?
09:14Well, about a month ago, he wrote me a letter
09:17But I think I know what you want me to say
09:19But, uh, you tell us
09:22That I know where he is
09:24I'm sorry, Sheriff, but he didn't let me in on his plans
09:27Uh, you were figuring on seeing him, weren't you?
09:29Absolutely not
09:31There's no particular reason you should tell us if you did know
09:34In that case, Sheriff, why do you bother to ask?
09:37Just a minute, young lady
09:38If you know what's good for you
09:40If you want to save yourself from trouble, you talk
09:42And talk fast
09:43Simmer down, mister, you're getting out of line fast
09:46You too, cowboy
09:48Suppose you mind your own affairs
09:49How do you know this isn't my affair?
09:51Please, Roy, I can handle it
09:53I did, uh, beat it
09:55Do you mind? I'd like to talk to the Sheriff alone
09:59You better stay here, boss
10:32Long distance, please
10:36I'd like to place a call to Mr. John Ellis
10:39National Insurance Company in Dallas
10:42Hello, Roy
10:43How you doing?
10:45Did you contact the girl?
10:46Yes, sir
10:47I got a job on the showboat as an entertainer
10:49I have a hunch she doesn't know anything about the missing money, though
10:52Well, I hope your hunch is wrong, Roy
10:55But handle it your own way
10:56Stick close to her
10:57I still say that she and her father will try to get together
11:01Right
11:09In a hurry, mister
11:10I could be
11:11Why?
11:12Nothing
11:12Only it might be a good idea
11:15As a matter of fact, I make a m***h
11:16You leave town right away
11:18And I second it
11:19You wouldn't want to get that nice shirt all dirty
11:21It's too pretty

11:24But don't worry about it getting dirty

19:37Dad! Betty!
19:40Oh, my little gal sure has grown up.
19:43Dad, are you all right?
19:44Don't worry about me.
19:54Drop it, Wes.
19:57This is quite a surprise, Betty.
19:59But not a pleasant one.
20:01Who is he?
20:02A policeman.
20:04Next time, I'll be more careful making friends.
20:07I suppose you think I planned all this.
20:10It doesn't matter much now, does it?
20:13Ready, Weston?
20:17Take your gun, Betty.
20:19Now get around there, mister.
20:22Now keep your hands up.
20:24That's all, brother. Drop it.
20:30You dropped your gun, mister.
20:33Why, you little squirt.
20:47Who needs your wagon, mister?
20:49Shall we get started?
20:50No, you're making a mistake.
20:52Oh, I don't think so.
20:53He's the one who made the mistake.
20:55Breaking jail, and before that, stealing the payroll.
20:57But he didn't steal it.
20:59You don't believe that, do you?
21:00Why should I?
21:02Uh, the waste of time, Betty.
21:04All this guy is interested in is collecting the reward.
21:08Say, you're not a regular copper, are you?
21:10No, I'm from the insurance company.
21:12But I still have to uphold the law.
21:14And after that, I'll expect you to tell me what you did with the money.
21:17Which I haven't gotten, which I never saw.
21:19All Dad wants is to prove his innocence.
21:21They framed him.
21:22Honestly, they did.
21:23Well, that's not for me to judge.
21:25Well, at least you can listen, Roy.
21:26It can't do any harm.
21:28Young fella, we're both looking for the same thing.
21:31Only for different reasons.
21:32If you turn me in, you lose the money.
21:34And I lose the last chance to clear myself.
21:37And if I listen to your story, what happens then?
21:40You might change your mind.
21:41And give us both a break.
21:43You game?
21:45All right, Buster.
21:46Put down the gun.
21:48Make yourself comfortable, Weston.
21:51And make the story good.
21:53Go ahead.
21:54Thank you, Roy.
21:56Well, it all started five years ago right here in Perry City.
22:01Betty and I were strangers.
22:03Our idea was to buy a ranch.
22:05But needing a little money,
22:07I got a job driving for the express company.
22:10It was my first night on the job.
22:12We had to run a payroll shipment up to the Hollister Mine.
22:17The express agent sealed the box
22:19and turned it over to me and the regular driver,
22:22a chap named Charlie Goss.
22:24He owns the club ace here now.
22:27Between us, we carried the box out to the buckboard.
22:31Being new on the job,
22:33I suggested Goss drive and let me ride guard behind.
22:38But for some reason or other,
22:40he didn't like the idea.
22:43I ain't supposed to.
22:44Your job was to drive.
22:45So we chased places.
22:46What's the difference?
22:48Well, none.
22:49I mean, I hired out as guard.
22:51Well, you know the road, Goss.
22:52I don't.
22:53It'll save time.
22:55All right, but stick close.
23:00It was rough going right from the start.
23:03I was riding about 20 feet behind the wagon when it happened.
23:09Goss fell to the ground unconscious.
23:32Goss fell to the ground unconscious.
23:55And that's the spot I found myself in.
23:58My horse shot from under me,
23:59the wagon gone with the payroll,
24:01and Charlie Goss slugged in the back.
24:04Right after that, the sheriff picked me up.
24:07Yeah, they gave me a trial all right.
24:09But when Goss testified that I shot him,
24:12and said I insisted on riding behind,
24:15the jury lost no time in hanging the blame on me.
24:18Now I'll tell you who I think did it.
24:20I'm way ahead of you, Weston.
24:21You think Goss had a hand in it, don't you?
24:23Well, who else?
24:25I'll admit he didn't rig it right,
24:26or he wouldn't have got shot himself.
24:28That slug was intended for me.
24:31Somebody was working with him.
24:32But that somebody got his signals mixed.
24:35They counted on killing me,
24:37framing it as a hold-up,
24:38and then splitting up the money later.
24:41But I got a hunch it didn't work out that way.
24:44Not with Goss shot,
24:46and the other fellow gone,
24:47and the team running away with the money.
24:49What do you think happened to that box, Weston?
24:52That's exactly what Dad's been trying to find out, Roy.
24:55If he could find that box, it would clear it.
24:57Nobody ever found that box.
24:59It's around here somewhere.
25:02I don't want to give up now, Rogers.
25:03I've got to find it.
25:05That's a pretty big order, isn't it?
25:07Not so easy to think.
25:08A couple of weeks ago,
25:09Pete here found a piece of the buckboard in the canyon
25:12about five miles from the place we were held up.
25:14It's true, Roy.
25:15Dad wouldn't have broken out of prison
25:17if he hadn't had at least a clue.
25:19Won't you help us?
25:20All I need is 48 hours.
25:23Supposing I make you a proposition, Weston?
25:26You said I need that box as badly as you do.
25:28And you're right.
25:30If I help you find it,
25:32are you willing to remain in my custody
25:33and at the end of 48 hours, give yourself up?
25:36You mean whether we find it or not?
25:38Win or lose.
25:40If the posse tracks you down ahead of time,
25:42I'll have to surrender.
25:43Take it or leave.
25:48I'll take it.
25:50That's a fair proposition, young fella.
25:52Then it's settled.
25:53We can leave tonight and start looking by morning.
25:56I know a few fellas will give us a hand, too.
25:58You won't regret it, Roy.
25:59I hope you're right, Betty.
26:13Ain't far to sing.
26:21The sheriff's coming.
26:22The sheriff?
26:23Yeah, he and his men.
26:24I had to come across the ridge to get here first.
26:27You going to surrender me, Rogers?
26:28Well, that was our bargain, but don't jump the gun.
26:30We'll see what he wants first.
26:32Betty, you better stay here with your father.
26:33Come on, Puss.
26:47You looking for somebody, sheriff?
26:48Yeah.
26:49And don't try to tell me he ain't around here, either.
26:52Come on, boys.
26:53We'll search this canyon.
26:54Before you go ahead with this,
26:55I'd like to have a few words with you.
26:56Don't trust them.
26:57They're stalling.
27:05It's no use, Buster.
27:06Somebody must have tipped them off.
27:21What are you covering up for?
27:23Where did he go?
27:25I can't answer that.
27:26We're wasting time.
27:27They're all in it together.
27:29All right, scatter out, men.
27:30Then bring him in.
27:37He didn't break his word, Roy.
27:39So he just couldn't let them catch him now.
27:41Where is he?
27:44He's going to meet us at Pete's cabin.
27:45We promised.
27:48Don't you believe that?
27:49I don't know what to believe.
28:07There he goes.
28:12Look, over there.
28:17All right, get your horses.
28:31Did the boys get back?
28:33Yeah.
28:34But they didn't see any signs of Weston.
28:36And neither did the sheriff.
28:39Looks like our bird has flew the coop.
28:42I can't understand what's happened.
28:45Get my horse with you.
28:49Well, it's pretty plain to me what happened.
28:51Your dad grabbed the first chance he had to run out on me.
28:54I think you're jumping to conclusions.
28:57Have you any suggestions?
28:58Only that you wait and find out what actually did take place.
29:02I think we already know that.
29:03Your dad agreed to meet us here.
29:05Well, we've waited three hours and he hasn't shown up yet.
29:09So you think he let you down?
29:13I certainly do.
29:20It's at times like these I get awfully lonesome for those hills we were talking about.
29:25Remember?
29:26All set, Roy.
29:36Well, where do you think you're going?
29:38I'm checking out, Cap.
29:39Oh, now take it easy, Roy.
29:42I want to have a little talk with you.
29:44Betty told me the whole story.
29:46And if you knew that kid like I know her, you wouldn't make such a darn fool of yourself.
29:52I'm afraid if anybody made a fool out of me, it was Betty and her dad.
29:56I think you're wrong.
29:58The point is, I wasn't crazy about having to come here in the first place.
30:01It just happened to be my job.
30:04Looks like my job's done.
30:07You won't change your mind?
30:09No.
30:11Timber!
30:12Timber!
30:15Oh, mountains high, down the canyon's wide.
30:22Let me roam and ride, ride through timber.
30:27When the day is done, by the campfire's gleam.
30:34Let me lie and dream, dream of timber.
30:39Tall timbers fallin' in, and the echoes ring.
30:46For all nature sings a song along the timber trail.
30:52Blue shadows fallin' in, down the canyon's veil.
30:58And the west green pines entwine along the timber trail.
31:02High in the sky above, the love song of the trees will blend, and when it's way out on the
31:15breeze.
31:16Tall timbers fallin', and the echoes ring.
31:22For all nature sings a song along the timber trail.
31:27The timber trail.
31:29The timber, timber, timber.
31:45What's the matter?
31:46You're all under arrest.
31:47Arrest?
31:48For what?
31:48For obstructing justice.
31:50If you're looking for Weston, he's not here.
31:52Well, we'll take a look around for ourselves, if you don't mind.
31:55Before you do, Sheriff, I'd like to talk to you a minute.
31:57About what?
31:59Well, it concerns this problem right here.
32:01Well, go ahead.
32:02I'm listening.
32:04This'll have to be in private.
32:06Keep your eyes with me, boys.
32:08All right.
32:13Does this explain things a little better, Sheriff?
32:18Rogers, why the devil didn't you come to me in the first place?
32:21As a representative of the insurance company, you ought to cooperate with my office, not jamming you up.
32:26Jamming you up was an accident.
32:28I had a hunch, but I was wrong.
32:30After listening to Weston's story, I was about convinced he was telling the truth.
32:34Him taking those pot shots of me this afternoon ought to convince you otherwise, does it?
32:37Well, let's just say I was following the wrong trail.
32:44There's just one thing that puzzles me, Sheriff.
32:47How did you know that we had Weston down there in the canyon with us this morning?
32:51Got a tip.
32:53Somebody tossed this in my window.
33:01You mind if I keep it?
33:02No, help yourself, Rogers.
33:05What a sec, boy.
33:07You better get my bag and get the horn and come back to my room.
33:10We're not leaving after all.
33:12Oh.
33:13It's all right, boys.
33:14Go ahead.
33:22What's the matter, fellas?
33:23Something wrong?
33:24I'll take it easy.
33:41Weston!
33:42Hello, Roy.
33:43Is it all right for me to come out?
33:45Yeah.
33:50What made you come back here?
33:52You said I wasn't in your custody, didn't you?
33:54That was before you took a shot at the sheriff and ran away.
33:58I didn't shoot it, Sheriff, Roy.
34:00Those shots were meant for me, whether you believe it or not.
34:03One of them got me in the arm.
34:04I had to make you get away to save my life.
34:07I might have been doing this, and I wouldn't have shot myself, would I?
34:10If I wanted to get away, I wouldn't have come back here.
34:14I wouldn't have shot you.
34:15Who shot you?
34:16For Goss, naturally.
34:19It couldn't have been him.
34:20He was standing out over 20 feet from me when the shots were fired.
34:24Are you sure?
34:25Of course I'm sure.
34:28Well, I don't get it.
34:30Neither do I, but I'm going to find out.
34:32Wait.
34:34Maybe this will help.
34:36Here's the slug.
34:37It dug out of my arm.
34:40I'll keep this.
34:41What about me?
34:43Take it easy.
34:44I'll have somebody look after that arm.
34:49Betty, if you don't think I'm too much of a heel, I won't apologize for this afternoon.
34:54Why?
34:54I was wrong about your dad.
34:56You better get some bandages and go back to the stall where Trigger is.
34:59He's there.
35:03Hey, Buster.
35:06I got something I want to tell you.
35:07Come on.
35:14Hey, Buster.
35:15See that guy with Goss?
35:21Yeah, his name's Ferguson.
35:22How long has he been around here?
35:24Born here as far as I know.
35:26Hey, you don't think he could have shot Weston?
35:28Anybody could have done it.
35:30He happens to be on Gossel's team.
35:32And anybody that's a friend of his is sure no friend of Weston's.
35:35We've got to figure a way to get a fired slug from his gun.
35:38I want to compare it with this one.
35:47Well, I told you to stay out of here.
35:49Oh, did you?
35:50I guess I wasn't listening.
35:51Well, you're listening now.
35:52Get out of here before you're thrown out.
35:54You haven't your gang with you this time.
35:56I wouldn't talk rough to him, Mr. Ferguson.
35:58He's a gunfighter.
36:00Gunfighter, huh?
36:02Well, you're two to one.
36:03I can out-shoot anyone around here.
36:05You've got to bet, cowboy.
36:07Just 20 says you can't.
36:09I'll hold the money.
36:10I'll take some of that easy money.
36:12Just 10 bucks.
36:13It says Ferguson can beat you.
36:14Oh, you're going to be sorry.
36:16Now, I'll take five.
36:28What's the name of the horse?
36:35How about that barrel down there?
36:36What about the side of the building?
36:38I mean the club.
36:39All right, with me.
36:59Gosh, you missed the whole barrel.
37:01I'll say you did.
37:05All right.
37:14Would that be a lesson to you, cowboy?
37:17Yes, sir.
37:19Let's keep that club.
37:25Here we are, Lucky.
37:27By what was the name of the horse?
37:33Bill, I'll give it.
37:37No, no, no, no.
37:41Now, you've done it.
37:43Wait a minute, wait a minute.
37:47Boy, if you ain't a man.
37:51But I got it.
37:53Well.
37:56Let's go to the espresso.
38:02All right, howdy.
38:07Say, that's a small-looking shotgun.
38:09Best in the country.
38:12Nice balance.
38:14Do you do much shooting?
38:15Every chance I get.
38:17What do you think of these?
38:20Nice-looking birds, aren't they?
38:22They sure are.
38:23Where'd you get them?
38:23Up in the hills.
38:25What happened to you?
38:26Did you fall in the river?
38:28What can I do for you fellas?
38:30I'd like to ship this box by express.
38:32Sure.
38:35National Insurance Company, Dallas, Texas.
38:41From Roy Rogers.
38:44Do you work for this outfit, Rogers?
38:46That's right.
38:47But I don't want it generally known around town, if you don't mind.
38:50If you worry, anything that goes through this office is strictly confidential.
38:54Hey, uh, maybe you can be of some help to me.
38:57My company's still working on that hold-up that happened a few years back.
39:00Do you know anything about Goss?
39:03Nothing special.
39:04Seems you've done all right financially the past few years.
39:08Nobody can joke out where he got the money.
39:10From what I hear, people figure that payroll box was never recovered.
39:14I don't believe that.
39:16Any guy slick enough to stage that hold-up is smart enough to follow through and get the dough.
39:20Of course, I'm only guessing.
39:22So are we.
39:23There's your receipt.
39:24Thanks.
39:33Didn't place that wagon?
39:34Not a bolt or a sliver.
39:36Wherever it is, it's sure not in that canyon.
39:39This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
39:41We better call it a day.
39:42That's two of us for that idea.
39:44Yeah, make it three.
39:51Hello.
39:52Howdy, Pete.
39:53You look unlucky.
39:54We are, 100%.
39:56Say, Pinto, that's quite a weapon you got there.
40:00A little dangerous, though, isn't it?
40:01No, see?
40:02I'll show you.
40:04That don't count.
40:06Something slipped back.
40:07I see.
40:09Say, was the sheriff still in town when you left?

42:39open it. Come on, we're heading back.
42:55I saw a hot one. What's behind all this, Joe? Search me. Sounds interesting, though. Going
43:00over to see what it's all about. You might as well. I think it's just a plane left to
43:04get a bigger crowd at this show. What do you suppose he's trying to pull?
43:09I don't know. But somebody said Rogers found that strongbox.
43:16Hi, Rogers. Howdy. Looks like you've stirred up some excitement. Well, I figured the town
43:20could use a little. Hey, you mind telling the guy what you got up your sleeve? For a buck,
43:24sure. You really going to spill something up there tonight? Why don't you come out and
43:28see the show? I may take you up on that. What does this mean, real culprit? Everybody knows
43:32Weston's guilty. Rogers doesn't seem to think so. Well, I think Rogers is crazy. Yeah, crazy
43:37the fox. That stunt's going to fill the showboats a dollar a head. Sure. Do you know the routine?
43:44Yeah, I got it. Yeah, come on with that surprise. If you got one. We paid a dollar to find
44:00out here around the express wagon. Yeah, give us something for our money. Where's Rogers?
44:04We want Rogers! We want Rogers! We want Rogers! We want Rogers!
44:08We want Rogers! Don't say that surprise. I'm not going to let you down, folks. The strongbox,
44:13which was stolen here five years ago, has just been recovered. Acting in the interest of my
44:19insurance company, I've taken possession of it. I'll give you my reason for this later.
44:24But just to satisfy your curiosity and put the sheriff's mind at ease, I want to announce
44:30that the strongbox is right here on this stage. After the professor finishes his act, I'm going
44:37to ask the sheriff and the committee to come up here and open the box in plain sight. And
44:44I believe what we find inside the box will be the surprise I promised you.
45:01Certainly, Buster.
45:10You know what these are, Sheriff? Sure. They're bullets. What of it? I'll explain
45:15that in a minute. But before I do, I suggest you arrest this man for stealing the money in
45:19the payroll box. Don't listen to him, Sheriff. He's trying to put over a fast one for his
45:24company. Can you back up this charge, Rogers? Sure. Open the box. All right, put it over
45:35here. Yeah, Sheriff. You did better? Yeah. While you're doing it, you might notice that
45:41the express company seal is still intact. Why, it's empty. Just as I figured. Funny part
45:52about it, Sheriff, there never was any money in that box. Lucas made away with it before it
45:57was ever put into the wagon. Then he staged a holdup to cover up. Incidentally, Goss,
46:03this is the man that shot you in the back, not Weston. Well, I'll be. For a while, I figured
46:08you did it. I even thought Ferguson had a hand in it. That's why I wanted to compare the bullets
46:13that hit Weston with the one from your gun, Ferguson. Obviously, the comparison was never
46:17made, because we just found the bullets on Lucas. I guess he opened the package and substituted
46:22his own samples. You can't prove anything with those slugs. You mind letting me take a look
46:27at those bullets, Rogers? Don't let anybody move.
46:32So, let me go.
46:34Lucas!
46:43Mr.
46:43Marco, there's been fountains, Bella.
46:43And?
