00:08THE END
01:42Oh, Gilman's right on the dot again.
01:44He never misses.
01:52How's tricks up in Kingman, Bo?
01:54Oh, I can't complain.
01:55No, but I'll bet a lot of other people can.
01:58Well, how many did you get this time?
02:00400.
02:01There ain't no better.
02:02All Circle S.
02:03Circle S.
02:05Sam Osborne's stock, eh?
02:06What's the difference?
02:07None at all.
02:09He's a pretty nice fellow, though.
02:11He's kind of tough.
02:31You have any trouble getting through?
02:32Nope.
02:33Osborne don't even suspect any of his herd is missing.
02:35Sam Osborne's watching this, Bo.
02:37I just saw him riding up the hill while he was hunting for strays.
02:41Well, it's his own fault.
02:43What do you figure on doing?
02:44There's only one thing to do.
02:46You keep this herd moving slowly toward the pass.
02:48I'll take care of Osborne.
03:18Let's get the herd moving.
03:39He's a highfalutin', scootin', shootin', son of a gun from Arizona.
03:46Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
03:49He always sings raggy music to the cattle when he swings.
03:53Back and forward in the saddle on a horse.
03:56That is syncopated, gated, and there's such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater how they run.
04:02When they hear the fellow's gun because the western folks all know.
04:06He's a highfalutin', scootin', shootin', son of a gun from Arizona.
04:10Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
04:13Out in Arizona where the bad men are
04:16And the only thing to guide you is an evening star
04:20The roughest, toughest man by far
04:23His right time Cowboy Joe.
04:27God is made for singin' to the cows and sheep
04:31Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep
04:34In a place so rich and deep
04:39Croonin' soft and low
04:57Oh, Joe.
05:00Huh?
05:01Come here.
05:03Oh.
05:11Go do the milkin'.
05:13What is this? A cattle ranch or a dairy farm?
05:16I suppose next your woman's ch-ch-ch-ch stirring the butter.
05:19No, Joe. Just the milkin'.
05:22Oh, Joe.
05:25Where's Dad?
05:26He rode over to South Fork to take a look at the cattle, Miss Austin.
05:28Oh, really? Well, take care of Ranger for me, will you?
05:31Well, look, look, I got a milked on the milked on the cow.
05:33Thanks, Joe.
05:34You're welcome.
05:36I sure got my hands full this time.
05:38Horse in one hand, cow in the other.
05:40Come on, Ranger.
05:42Oh, excuse me, Austin.
05:44Over this way.
06:03Hello, Mary. Is Mr. Parker in?
06:05You're right in, Mr. Gilman. He's expecting you.
06:07Thanks.
06:11Hiya, Parker.
06:13Well, Bo, get your cattle through all right?
06:15Uh-huh.
06:16Pretty fair herd, too.
06:17Osborne's?
06:18Yeah.
06:19And we got top prices.
06:21But, uh, had kind of a bad accident on the way back.
06:25What kind of an accident?
06:26Osborne got shot.
06:27You mean shot, or...
06:29I mean, he's dead.
06:30He come across us while we were pulling our little job,
06:33and there wasn't anything else for me to do.
06:35You think you knew anything?
06:37Plenty, I guess.
06:38Here, take a look at this.
06:44Cattlemen's Protective Association.
06:47Here, Mr. Osborne.
06:49Received your letter regarding cattle rustling in your district.
06:53One of our investigators is leaving at once,
06:56and we'll contact you when he arrives.
07:01So, they're sending a cow detective out here, huh?
07:05Go right over to the sheriff's office,
07:07and report the finding of Osborne's body.
07:09Me report it?
07:10It's your first duty as a law-abiding citizen.
07:14The fact that you do it
07:16will remove any suspicion from you.
07:19And, uh, besides,
07:20the boys were with you
07:22when you found the body, weren't they?
07:24Yeah.
07:26They're the witnesses to your innocence.
07:29All right, Parker.
07:30But you better be right.
07:31I don't like lawyers that make mistakes.
07:33Eh, we'd better keep a sharp look out for strangers.
07:36One of them might be from the Cattlemen's Protective Association.
07:39Mm-hmm.
07:47With a tie-eye-eye-yippee-yi-yay
07:51Riding your pony all day
07:56Swaying in the saddle and a yelling at the cattle poem
08:00A tie-eye-yippee-yi-yay
08:03the hoy-yay-yay
08:04Joel!
08:06Oh, Joel!
08:07Go out and be on your way
08:11Round up all the sprays
08:13and then head on their way
08:14With a tie-eye
08:16Joe!
08:18Paul!
08:18Somebody's always wanting me.
08:20You think there's nobody else on this ranch with me.
08:22Joe!
08:23Yes, ma'am.
08:23I'm coming.
08:26Cowboys, get up, work, don't let up, never rest or change.
08:30Drive them longhorns on.
08:33Dad isn't home yet, and I'm worried.
08:35Well, I wouldn't worry none, ma'am.
08:37He can take care of himself.
08:38I know, but he's never done this before without telling me about it.
08:42Well, maybe he rode into town and got in a poker game with some of the boys.
08:46Hitch up the buckboard, Joe. I'm driving to town.
08:49All right, ma'am.
09:21All right, ma'am.
09:51All right, ma'am.
09:54Let's go!
10:19Are you all right, Miss?
10:21Well, I will be as soon as I get the dirt out of my boots.
10:24I hope you'll realize you've wrecked my buckboard.
10:27Well, I'm mighty sorry about that.
10:29But I'm glad I stopped those horses.
10:30You know, anything can happen in a runaway.
10:32And who told you it was a runaway?
10:35Well, you don't mean to say you drive like that all the time.
10:39Well, I do when I'm in a hurry.
10:41Oh.
10:43Gee, I'm sorry, Miss.
10:44You're sorry? How do you think I feel about it?
10:49Now, you just calm yourself, Miss.
10:51I'll get this rig fixed up in a jiffy.
11:07Hey, Miss!
11:09Where do you want me to take this rig?
11:11To the Osborne Ranch!
11:20Come on.
11:40Joe!
11:40Oh, Joe!
11:42Yes, ma'am?
11:43Is Dad back yet?
11:44No.
11:45Well, where'd you get that pretty horse?
11:46Oh, some smart aleck wrecked my buckboard,
11:48so I borrowed his horse to come home.
11:50Borrowed him?
11:50You mean you stole it?
11:51Oh, all right, I stole it.
11:53Ain't you going to town?
11:54No, I'm too nervous.
11:57I wonder who you are, sir.
12:07Oh!
12:09Well, gentlemen.
12:10You're a stranger around here, aren't you?
12:12Maybe.
12:13I asked you a civil question.
12:14I expect the same kind of an answer.
12:15Where are you from?
12:17Oh, from one place or another.
12:20Where are you going with this rig?
12:21If it's any business of yours, I'm taking it over to the Osborne Ranch.
12:25All right, men.
12:26We'll tag along with this fellow just to make sure.
12:30Good.
12:31Mighty glad to have you company, boys.
12:33Get out!
12:50Miss Helen!
12:53Here comes your buckboard.
13:04What are you laughing at?
13:05Oh, George, the sheriff.
13:06He must have picked up that fellow thinking he stole my buckboard.
13:10Huh?
13:11Oh, yeah.
13:15Sheriff picked him up, thought he stole your buckboard,
13:17and you stole his horse.
13:28Why, that isn't the sheriff.
13:30It's Bo Gilman.
13:31Bo Gilman?
13:32He's got a nerve coming here.
13:39Whoa!
13:41Here's your buckboard, Miss Osborne.
13:43And these others are just a few extras I had picked up along the way.
13:47We come across this fellow driving your rig, and so we came along to find out what you know about
13:51it.
13:51I know all about it.
13:52Oh, you do, eh?
13:54You've heard what the lady said.
13:55Yeah, I heard all right.
13:56But she still hasn't told me who you are or what you're doing hereabouts.
13:59And that's none of your business.
14:00I'm making up my business.
14:02Oh, Gilman just talking to hear himself think.
14:05If I was you, I'd keep my mouth shut.
14:07You might get something to get scared about.
14:09Scared?
14:10Who said anything about getting scared?
14:13Ah, go change your britches.
14:15Huh?
14:16If my dad were here, you wouldn't dare set foot on this ranch.
14:19Is that so?
14:20Yes, and let me tell you something else, Bo Gilman.
14:22You're the one rancher in this whole section he doesn't trust.
14:25Oh, I'm afraid from now on it won't make much difference how your pa felt about me.
14:32Well, what do you mean?
14:34Me and the men was coming back from Railhead and we found your dad laying out on the hillside.
14:38He'd been shot.
14:50There, there, honey.
14:52I know how you feel.
14:53Oh, Gilman.
14:55Don't worry, honey.
14:56You go on in the house and get a hold of yourself.
15:03I'm turning you over to the sheriff to see if he can find out who you are and what your
15:07business is around here.
15:08You better think of a good story to tell him too.
15:10All right.
15:11And it might be a good idea to give him all the facts.
15:41Lock this fellow up, Sheriff.
15:43What's he done?
15:44I got an idea he's the man who killed Sam Osborne.
15:47Well, your idea doesn't prove that he's guilty.
15:50I'll get the proof.
15:51You just keep him here for a while.
15:56Well, this ain't exactly regular,
15:58but I'll have to keep you here until I find out what's what.
16:00You're the law, Sheriff.
16:19So you caught the rustler, eh, Bo?
16:21Yeah, looks like it.
16:22Well, I guess the ranchers around here owe you a vote of thanks.
16:25Oh, they don't owe me a thing.
16:26I only did what anyone else would have done.
16:27If anybody had asked me,
16:29I'd say a little hanging party would be appropriate about now.
16:31Wait a minute, Clements.
16:33That's no way for a law-abiding citizen to talk.
16:35You're a killer, ain't he?
16:37Nobody had anything against Sam Osborne, did they?
16:39But even so, the man's entitled to a hearing.
16:41That's the law.
16:42Well, I wouldn't know about that.
16:44But you've done so much for the folks around here, Mr. Parker.
16:47If you say wait, I guess that's about what we'll have to do.
16:51Oh, that's a spare, Clements.
16:53Oh, could I have a word with you, Mr. Parker?
16:54Mm-hmm.
17:02Well, he's the cow detective for sure,
17:05taking into consideration what that letter said
17:07and then finding him in the Osborne rig.
17:09And I suppose neither he nor Helen would say anything.
17:11Oh, not a word.
17:14That's bad.
17:15You know, the way things stand,
17:17we've got practically all the land through Kingman Pass.
17:21But the key to the whole thing is the Osborne Ranch.
17:24If we get that for a cinch,
17:26if we don't, all our trouble will go for nothing.
17:31Hey, uh...
17:32You know, it wouldn't have taken off a lot to stir up a hanging.
17:37That'd kill two birds with one stone.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Get rid of that cow detective
17:42and remove any chance of suspicion about us.
17:46Osborne was killed by a .30-30 rifle.
17:50Well, that proves that you have no evidence to hold me on.
17:53Well, I'll admit that.
17:54And I'll admit if it was up to me alone, I'd turn you loose.
17:58But if Bo Gilman agrees to sign the charges against you,
18:01my hands are tied.
18:02It seems to me that Bo Gilman has an awful lot to say around this town.
18:06No, it isn't that.
18:08But you see, folks have been losing a lot of cattle lately.
18:11And the loss has caused them to lose their ranches.
18:14Naturally, they're suspicious of anybody
18:16who can't properly explain himself.
18:17Oh, I see.
18:20Oh, by the way, is there a lawyer in town?
18:23Yeah, there's Virgil Parker.
18:25You know, according to law, I'm entitled to one.
18:27That's right.
18:28And he'll see that you get a square deal if he'll take the case.
18:30Good.
18:31Bring him in, will you?
18:32Sure, I'll see what he says.
18:42Hello, Mary.
18:43Hello, Sheriff.
18:45Mr. Parker in?
18:46Oh, I'm sorry.
18:47You just stepped out for a few minutes.
18:48Thanks.
18:50Parker, I've got a prisoner I'd like you to have a talk with.
18:54I don't know if he's guilty or not.
18:56Even if he is guilty, he's entitled to counsel.
18:58Now, come right along.
19:00You better come here and take notes.
19:02Our client may say something we want forever.
19:04Whatever you say, Mr. Parker.
19:15Sit down, Mr. Curtis.
19:17Parker?
19:22Boy, Parker's here.
19:49Mr. Parker, Mr. Logan.
19:53How do you do?
19:54How do you do, sir?
19:55This is my secondary, Ms. Curtis.
19:58How do you do?
19:59I'm very pleased to know you, ma'am.
20:01The sheriff tells me you need legal advice.
20:04Evidently, I do.
20:05It seems that somebody's trying awfully hard to pin a murder charge on me.
20:08No man's guilty will prove so in court.
20:11That's right, Sheriff.
20:13Theoretically, that's true.
20:14But actually, a fallacy sheriff.
20:16Unfortunately, a man on trial for a crime is put to just as much trouble to prove his innocence as
20:23the state is to prove his guilt.
20:27I'm sorry, sir.
20:29I'm sorry, sir.
20:29Now, as my client, you may not be guilty of the murder of Sam Osborne, but can we prove it?
20:36Do I look like a murderer, Ms. Curtis?
20:39Well, I don't know.
20:40I don't know what a murderer looks like.
20:42Suppose you can find your remarks to me, little bit.
20:45Yes, I'm sorry, sir.
20:48Just a minute, Jax.
20:49What's that?
20:50I don't know.
21:02Looks like burning for a hanging part.
21:04They'll have a fight on their hands if they try to take my prisoner out of here.
21:07Oh, Steve, they're coming after you.
21:09It isn't fair.
21:09You haven't a chance.
21:10No, no, don't you worry.
21:11I can take care of myself.
21:15Say, wait a minute, Sheriff.
21:16You don't need me.
21:19Put up those hands.
21:20You too, Parker.
21:25Ms. Curtis, you better get out of here.
21:37You're putting a noose around your neck.
21:38I'll take care of my neck.
21:39That mob will get you, Logan.
21:41They're more likely to get you.
21:42Back into that cell.
21:55Come on, Sheriff.
21:56Open up in there.
21:57We want that prisoner of yours.
22:00Come on, open up.
22:04You better let us out of here.
22:05You haven't got a chance of escaping.
22:08Come on, man.
22:08Let's bust this door.
22:09Come on.
22:13Sheriff, let me talk with them all.
22:14I can cry a little.
22:15Oh, be quiet yourself.
22:30Here, Gilman, get us out of here.
22:32The keys are on the desk.
22:34The long one is the one.
22:47Here, where's your prisoner?
22:50How do I know?
22:56You rode out of town, Sheriff.
22:57He certainly made himself look guilty.
22:59Oh, he's guilty, all right.
23:01What are you going to do about it, Sheriff?
23:02I'm heading to Corsi to pick him up.
23:04Get your horses, men.
23:05Come on.
23:06Come on.
23:07Come on.
23:12Let's go.
23:52I didn't realize until tonight that Dad had this ranch mortgaged up to the hilt.
23:57Ever since the cattle rustling started, the place has been going down.
24:01That's why I had to let all the other hands go.
24:04I can't even afford to feed them.
24:06That's why I have to let you go too, Joe.
24:10Well, I ain't a-goin'.
24:12But you can't afford to stay and work for nothing.
24:15I can't pay you.
24:16You don't have to pay me.
24:18I got a little money saved up.
24:20If you just let me be your foreman...
24:21My foreman?
24:22I've always wanted to be a foreman.
24:24And this is my chance.
24:26But, Joe, there's nobody else.
24:28Well, that don't make no difference.
24:29You just give me the authority and I'll work it out for you somehow.
24:53Well, I've done about everything possible to discourage you except run you off at the point of a gun.
24:58If you're still determined, I'll just have to accept your offer and let you be foreman.
25:03You will?
25:05Yee-hoo!
25:07Thank you very much, Helen.
25:09I'm sorry, Miss Osborne.
25:18Wife, what are you doing back here?
25:20Well, you see, Miss, your friend, Mr. Gilman, put me in jail and then stirred up a hanging party.
25:25That sounds like him.
25:26Well, how'd you get away?
25:28Oh, I didn't.
25:29They killed me.
25:30They killed you?
25:31Gee, I'm sorry.
25:32Oh, they killed you.
25:34Well, what'd you come here for?
25:35Well, Miss, I kind of figured you could use a man around the ranch.
25:39A man?
25:40Say, I'm a man, ain't I?
25:41Besides, if it's a job you're looking for, you've got to see me first.
25:44I'm the new foreman.
25:45Fine.
25:46My name is Steve Logan.
25:47Steve Logan.
25:48My name's Joe Bushberry.
25:50I'm mighty glad to know you, Mr. Bushberry.
25:52Well, now that the formalities are over...
25:54Maybe the new hand could use a feed under his belt.
25:56It's a good idea.
25:57I am kind of hungry.
25:58All right.
26:06No use going any further.
26:07He skipped the country.
26:09There's one place we haven't looked.
26:11Something tells me we're passing up a bet.
26:12I ain't passing up anything.
26:14All right.
26:15And I say we cut over to the Osborne ranch.
26:17He wouldn't have nerve enough to show up there.
26:20Don't be too sure.
26:21He's a slick one, Sheriff.
26:24All right.
26:24We'll take a chance.
26:25But if he ain't there, I'm disbanding the posse.
26:32Will you have some more coffee?
26:34Why, yes.
26:35I don't mind if I do.
26:37I'm afraid I'll have to work awfully hard to pay for what I've already eaten.
26:40Oh, I'll see that you get plenty of work, all right.
26:43I suppose if I were to do the right thing, I'd turn you over to the Sheriff.
26:48If your conscience is bothering you, Miss...
26:50My conscience isn't bothering me.
26:52If you were really guilty, you'd be well on your way to a healthier locality.
26:56You're a mighty bright young lady.
26:59What kind of a game are you playing?
27:01Oh, I'm not playing a game, I...
27:03Say, I do a good game with cards.
27:09Hey, wait a minute.
27:11That might be the Sheriff.
27:17All right, I'm coming.
27:24Why, hello, Sheriff.
27:26Hello, Joe.
27:28Sorry to bust in on you like this, Miss Osborne,
27:31but Gilman figured we might find Logan here.
27:34And who might Logan be?
27:36He's the man I brought in with your buckboard the other day,
27:39the day your father was killed.
27:42Well, I'd hardly shelf for a man guilty of...
27:44I know how you feel.
27:46And I apologize for making this more unpleasant for you.
27:50We might as well clear out, Bo.
27:52It was a wild goose chase.
27:54Well, maybe yes, and maybe no.
27:58Do you, uh, always drink two cups of coffee at the same time?
28:02Who, me?
28:04Well, uh, you see, it's my liver.
28:06Doctor said that coffee's bad for me.
28:08So I, I take one cup of coffee in my left hand
28:10and drink it real fast, like this, you see?
28:15In my right hand, I take the other cup of coffee
28:17and just as I'm about to drink it,
28:19I think of the doctor's orders
28:20and I spill it out, like this, you see?
28:22Why, you, what a map are you looking for?
28:25Wait a minute.
28:26I'm sorry, Mr. Gilman,
28:27it must be the spots in front of my eyes.
28:28I can't see a thing.
28:29Come on, boy, you'd better get outside and cool off.
28:32Good night, ma'am.
28:33Sorry we troubled you.
28:35Not at all.
28:36Good night.
28:45I want to thank you, Miss, for what you've done.
28:49Joe, I kind of thought they had you for a moment.
28:51Yeah, so did I.
28:53But I was a little too clever for them.
28:56Well, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing,
28:58but we can't turn you out now.
29:01Can we, Joe?
29:11I'm going to show you that you didn't make no mistake
29:12when you made me your foreman.
29:14What do you mean, Joe?
29:15I'm going to give you a little demonstration
29:16of how a real foreman works.
29:18I'm going to rope that steer over there for you.
29:21You sure you can do it?
29:22You just watch me.
29:23All right.
29:25Yeah!
29:58I'm going to make no mistake.
30:03Get out of here!
30:10Joel, are you all right?
30:13I think we've had just about enough roping for one day.
30:17I'm going home and take a nap.
30:36Hey, Joel, wake up!
30:38What for?
30:39You're the boss around here, aren't you?
30:41Yeah, that's right, I am the boss.
30:44I've got to find something for you to do.
30:46Well, you're the boss.
30:48Well, let's see.
30:49And don't you forget it, you're nothing.
30:51I'm nothing.
30:52And I'm the boss.
30:53And you're the boss.
30:54Yes, that's right.
30:55That makes you the boss over nothing.
30:57That's right, that makes me the boss over nothing.
30:59Huh?
31:01Well, I may not be the boss of much right now,
31:04but you wait until that new railroad comes through you,
31:06and then I'll be the boss of plenty.
31:08Did you say railroad?
31:09Sure.
31:10I heard there was a railroad coming right through Kingman
31:12and right over this ranch.
31:13Well, when is this going to happen?
31:15It better happen pretty quick,
31:16because the railroad's only ten miles from here right now.
31:19Well, I sure hope you're right.
31:20That is, for Miss Helen's sake.
31:22I know I'm right.
31:23And I'm going into town and get me a brand new outfit.
31:26They're fitting my new job.
31:27Then I'm going off to Gay Parise Saloon
31:29and show them guys over there that said I wouldn't be foreman.
31:32I'll show them.
31:34I'd sure like to go with you,
31:36but I'd better keep out of town for a while.
31:38What are you figuring on doing?
31:39I think I'll ride around and look things over a bit.
31:42Well, you be sure and be here when I get back,
31:44because I want to show him a new outfit.
31:46I wouldn't miss that for the world.
31:48That's good.
31:48I'll be a sight.
31:51I bet you will at that.
31:55Sometimes I ain't sure what that guy's talking about.
32:26Well, hello there, Stanley.
32:28Hello, Mr. Mansfield.
32:30Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
32:32What are you doing up in this neck of the woods?
32:34Checking up on a little unfinished business.
32:35I heard you were down this way,
32:37so I thought I'd drop in to say hello.
32:39I'm glad you did.
32:40Working on a case around here?
32:41Sort of.
32:42I thought maybe you could give me a little information.
32:44I thought this was something more than a social visit,
32:47but I'll be glad to help you if I can.
32:49Tell me, who sold you the right of way through Kingman?
32:52We bought most of the land from a fellow named Porter.
32:56Oh, Parker, I believe it was.
32:58He seemed to control most of the land around here.
33:01What about the Osborne Ranch?
33:03Well, this Parker seemed to control that too.
33:05But he told us we'd have to wait a few days
33:07before he could let us know definitely.
33:10Did the railroad ever contact Osborne?
33:12I don't think so.
33:13As Parker said, there was no use of seeing Osborne,
33:16and since he controlled all the other land around here,
33:19why, we took his word for it.
33:21I see.
33:22And don't tell me you've got something on, Parker.
33:24Well, I can't say yet, but thanks for the information.
33:28It's been mighty good seeing you again, Mr. Mansfield.
33:30I'm glad to have seen you again, Steve.
33:32Thanks.
33:33All checked in.
33:57Looks like the cattle detective.
34:00It is him.
34:00He's been snooping around Railhead.
34:02Checking on our cattle shipments, huh?
34:04Let's nail him.
34:05Don't shoot.
34:06Let's take him and give Gilman that pleasure.
34:42Nice to meet you the隨 hơn
34:44Give me a little shot.
34:47Jaboc!
34:48Oh!
34:56He's on rig.
34:59He's on rig.
35:01He's on rig.
35:20What are you trying to do?
35:21You can't do this to me!
35:23Well, I'll get even with you.
35:26Hey!
35:33Hey, I'll get even with you!
35:36Hey!
35:37Help!
35:43I'll get even with you, police!
36:26I'm gonna tie you up with your little playmate.
36:29It might help you to mind your own business!
36:30It might help you to mind your own business.
36:32What's the matter?
36:35So you don't know who killed Osmond, eh?
36:38Think I'll leave you boys tied up here for a little while?
36:41It might help you to remember.
36:47Why didn't you let me plug him when I had a chance?
36:50What do you think this is, my idea?
36:52Who said it was?
36:53Oh, shut up!
37:02There's a dance you see in France wherever you may go
37:05In Marseille, oh, the heart of gay Paris
37:09Oh, there's a dance you do in France whenever you feel low
37:13And it's full and told in old Paris
37:16It's up to you to do the ooh-la-la
37:21And you'll be happy, carefree and gay
37:24Oh, it's the thing to sing the ooh-la-la
37:28And watch your troubles go bubbling away
37:32So come on, take a chance, eh?
37:35And dance the ooh-la-la
37:36You'll find your feet will completely obey
37:41And when you laugh and shout and kick your heels above
37:44Then you are doing the ooh-la-la
37:48You should all dance the ooh-la-la
37:52To feel always happy and happy
37:55Oh, yes, you have to sing the ooh-la-la
38:00All right, ladies and gentlemen, be sure
38:03When you do this dance the ooh-la-la
38:07You should all dance the ooh-la-la
38:10You should all dance the ooh-la-la
38:12So come on, laugh and shout
38:15Chase all your troubles up
38:17And let us all do the ooh-la-la
38:20And let us all dance the ooh-la
38:24To feel always happy and happy and happy
38:25If you do this dance the ooh-la-la
38:25And the ooh-la-la
38:25And the ooh-la-la
38:32And the ooh-la-la
38:39Well, if it ain't handsome Joe Bushbury
38:42102 ranch, where's that out of it?
38:44Well, it's right next door to the 101 ranch
38:50Say, did old man Osmond wear you them clothes?
38:52Oh, you fellas are just jealous.
38:54Well be, Mr. Bushberry.
38:56The best in the house is none too good for me today.
38:59Yes, sir, Mr. Bushberry.
39:00Had another face to go with them clothes, it wouldn't be so bad.
39:04What's the matter with the face I got?
39:05Why, it's kind of silly.
39:10Sir, let me tell you fellas...
39:11Please, a drink, Mr. Bushberry.
39:13Oh, thanks.
39:15Allow me, Mr. Bushberry.
39:17Well, thanks, Ed.
39:18You know, I've just been made foreman of the Circle S.
39:22You don't say.
39:23Yeah.
39:24Well, here's to the new foreman.
39:32You know, if you doggone mad, I could fill you full of lead.
39:36That's delaying you.
39:37Got rheumatism in your trigger fingers?
40:03Ah!
40:04Ah!
40:04Now, don't get excited, Sheriff.
40:05Yes, sir.
40:10So, you decided to come back and give yourself up.
40:13You don't want me.
40:14Who says I don't?
40:15Here, read this.
40:20Cattlemen's Protective Association.
40:22Steven Logan Stanley, Special Operator.
40:25Why didn't you tell me this before?
40:27You almost got us all shot up.
40:29I wanted to give Gilman plenty of rope
40:31to see how far he'd go in trying to pin that murder on me.
40:34You almost gave him enough rope to hang yourself.
40:37I think I've got things pretty well figured out now, Sheriff.
40:40And I'll need your help.
40:42Well, by the looks of this card, I guess you're all right.
40:45You can depend on me for anything that's law and order.
40:48I knew I could.
40:49I've got a couple of Gilman's men tied up at Oak Flats.
40:52You better bring them in.
40:53I'm quite sure they know who killed Osborne.
40:56I'll send a couple of deputies out to get them right away.
40:58Do you know where the park is in his office or not?
41:01No, I think he went out to the Osborne Ranch
41:03to see what he could do for Helen.
41:05Good. I'll see you tonight.
41:07I'll be here.
41:08Oh, by the way, Sheriff,
41:09keep our little meeting quiet, will you?
41:11Sure.
41:39Oh, hello, Mr. Parker.
41:40How do you do, Helen?
41:42This is the first chance I've had to tell you how bad I feel about your dad.
41:46Well, it was good of you to come.
41:47What's the least I could do?
41:49I've always felt so close to both of you that,
41:52well, it seemed like one of my own family passed away.
41:55Thanks for saying so.
41:56Will you come in?
41:57Just a few minutes.
42:27Hello, Mary.
42:32Steve, you shouldn't have come here.
42:34I had to.
42:35Supposing someone should see you.
42:36Now, you let me worry about that.
42:38If you only would, but you're so reckless when you get on a case.
42:46Is Mr. Parker in, Mary?
42:48Sorry, but I don't expect him back until late this afternoon.
42:51Well, tell him I'll be here tonight as per schedule, huh?
42:55Yes, Mr. Gilman.
43:07I've got to get out of here.
43:08I'm afraid someone might see you.
43:09All right, Mary, I will.
43:11But as soon as I get things straightened out,
43:13I'm going to ask you that famous old question.
43:15And I'm not going to take no for an answer.
43:18But you will be careful for my sake.
43:21I promise.
43:22All right.
43:24And I'll get out of here.
43:28Let's go.
43:57Why do you like me?
43:58How do you like my new clothes?
44:00Oh, they're beautiful.
44:02You like them, huh?
44:03Beautiful!
44:05Take care of my horse, will you?
44:07All right.
44:07Hey, wait a minute!
44:09I'm supposed to be the foreman around here?
44:12Doggone sometimes I ain't sure what that fellow's talking about.
44:20Come on, boys.
44:34Miss Helen, would you mind telling me what Parker wanted?
44:37Why, he offered to send some of his men over to help me get my cattle to market.
44:41Did you accept?
44:43Well, there's nothing else I can do.
44:45Besides, I think it's a good idea.
44:47It is a good idea, but they'll never get through.
44:50Why, what do you mean?
44:52Did you ever hear your father speak of the Cattlemen's Protective Association?
44:56Why, yes.
44:57In fact, he wrote them several letters about cattle rustling going on around here.
45:07Is this one of them?
45:12You're the investigator.
45:14Do you know that Parker is responsible for all the cattle rustling and the death of your father?
45:20Oh, but I always thought Mr. Parker was such a good friend of Dad's.
45:23That just made his little game easier.
45:25And, Miss Osborne, if you'll trust me, I'll prove it to you later on.
45:29I think you're on the level.
45:31And I believe you.
45:32Good.
45:33I'm going into town tonight and pay Mr. Parker a little visit.
45:35Oh, but what if his men come to take my cattle to Railhead?
45:38Let them go ahead.
45:39That'll give me enough evidence to incriminate the whole outfit.
45:48I've made all the arrangements with Helen Osborne.
45:51Clayton and his men will start the cattle drive in the morning.
45:54No doubt Joe will be with them, but you've no worries there.
45:56When do me and my men take over?
45:58Clayton will see that they camp at Twin Oaks that night.
46:01Early the next morning, you and your men will stampede the herd in the direction of Duncan, who will be
46:07standing by.
46:08I've made all the arrangements with Duncan when I left the Osborne ranch this afternoon.
46:13You haven't heard anything about that cattle detective since he left town, have you?
46:18Don't worry about him.
46:19That hanging gag if you're scared him out of the country.
46:22Yeah, his breaking jail away did sure made him look guilty.
46:25Which makes you feel much easier.
46:27Yeah, well, I'll see you when the fun's all over.
46:30Good luck.
46:46Who is it?
46:47The sheriff.
46:48Can I see you a moment, Parker?
46:53Good work, sheriff.
46:54You shall be rewarded for the capture of a fugitive from justice.
46:58And what have you to say for yourself, young man?
47:00Well, Mr. Law-abiding citizen, the sheriff and I overheard your plan to help Miss Arsman.
47:05And as a reward, we are going to see that you take a nice long trip.
47:09But you can't do this to me.
47:10We're doing it.
47:11No.
47:46There's Twin Oaks just ahead, sheriff.
47:49That's where the outfit is putting up for the night.
47:50Well, I'll take my men and hide out on the other side of the herd.
47:54You stay here and keep watch.
47:55Good.
47:56If anything happens, I'll find a couple of shots.
47:58All right.
47:59Come on, boys.
48:09Well, here's where we camp for the night, Joe.
48:12All right, Mr. Clayton.
48:13I'll have the boys stop the herd.
48:15I'll get the eats to go.
48:34Hey, boys, she's getting good, all right.
48:41Good old cross-eyed cake from the Buckeye State was just an all-around good skate.
48:46Her eyes were crossed, but her heart was straight.
48:49Good old cross-eyed cake.
48:51She was not so pretty, but me, oh, my.
48:56When she rolled her eyes to her surprise,
49:00she found that she had two guys.
49:02Good old cross-eyed cake from the Buckeye State would wait beside the garden gate.
49:07And all the boys would congregate around my cross-eyed cake.
49:12For her hair was curly and chestnut brown.
49:18And they didn't care that all her hair was bought at a store in town.
49:24Old cross-eyed cake from the Buckeye State.
49:27Each night she had a different date.
49:29And I do not exaggerate about my cross-eyed cake.
49:34Oh, her teeth were curly and snowy white.
49:40And I loved her so, although I know those teeth came out every night.
49:46So now you know I calculate just why I love my cross-eyed cake.
49:52Her eyes were crossed, but her heart was straight.
49:55Good old cross-eyed cake.
49:59That's all right.
50:02Well, Joe, I guess we better hit the hay.
50:03We got a long drive ahead of us tomorrow.
50:06That's a good idea, Clayton.
50:07I've been eating so much dust and kind of sleeping myself.
50:11Well, good night, boys.
50:38Good night.
50:46You better rest, Helen.
50:48I don't think anything will happen before daybreak.
50:51I'm not tired.
51:02Alma Forman.
51:08After 20 years, Forman.
51:13I am so, Forman.
51:17No cowboys.
51:21Okay.
51:23Well, that cowboys are not out, Forman.
51:35I'm going on down.
51:37You fellas sit tight till I get back.
52:04I'm going on down.
52:04Everything ready?
52:05Yeah.
52:06Joe's sound asleep.
52:07Nothing will wake him up.
52:08Good.
52:09As soon as day breaks, I'll start stampeding this herd right into Duncan's hands.
52:13Fine.
52:14Me and the boys will stage a fake fight, you know.
52:16Make it look on the left.
52:42All good.
52:43All right, men.
52:43Let's get that herd out of there.
52:48Hey!!!
52:54Get the hard movement. Here comes Gilman.
53:03There goes your stock, Miss Helen.
53:05You were right, Steve.
53:28Come on!
53:59Come on!
54:22Come on!
54:52Come on!
55:19Three or four of you men organize the herd and start them back to the Osborne ranch.
55:23Bill and I'll handle these rustlers.
55:25Come on, get out of here.
55:34We got them all except Gilman.
55:35Sheriff's taking the others into town.
55:37You'll find him right back there, kind of quiet and peaceful like.
55:40Add him to your collection.
55:49Steve, have you seen Joe?
55:50No, I haven't.
55:51Well, I'm worried about him. Maybe he's hurt.
55:53I don't think so.
55:55Come on, let's ride back to camp.
56:10Hey, Joe! Joe! Wake up, boy!
56:14Hey, Joe! Joe! Wake up!
56:16The rustlers are stealing the cattle.
56:18Get loose of me!
56:19Oh, yeah!
56:20Here comes the rustlers!
56:22We got to get the stock through!
56:24You go this way, I'll go that way!
56:27Hey, Joe!
56:28Oh, hello, Steve. Where am I?
56:31I'm afraid you're a little bit too late.
56:32Everything is all over with.
56:34All over with?
56:35Where's all the stock?
56:37Here.
56:40Hey, look!
56:42Somebody shot a hole through my head!
56:55Out in Arizona lived a buckaroo, and he dreamed of being foreman of the Holdern crew.
57:02But when there were chores to do, the goat was Cowboy Joe.
57:10While we were pitching horseshoes in the cool and shade, we had Joe a pigeon with a fork and spade.
57:17Boy, what changes have been made!
57:23Introducing foreman Joe!
57:28He always sings raggy music to the cattle when he swings back and forth.
57:34Oh! Oh, Joe!
57:36Joe!
57:36That is secret-baited, gated, and there's such a funny meat-er...
57:39Joe!
57:40... How they run, when they hear that fellas gun before the western folks all know...
57:46I just wanted to let you know that now that all the boys are back, you'll still be foreman.
57:51You don't mean it?
57:52Yes, I do.
57:53A real foreman!
57:55You!
