Corrupt Wisconsin lumberman Jim Fallon (Kirk Douglas) travels to Northern California at the dawn of the 20th century in order to gain control of a tract of redwood forest. Fallon's underhanded tactics stir resentment from everyone, including settler Elder Bixby (Charles Meredith) ; his beautiful daughter, Alicia (Eve Miller) ; Fallon's fair-minded employee, Yukon Burns (Edgar Buchanan) ; and his right-hand man, Frenchy LeCroix (John Archer) -- and his cheating ways create unlikely bedfellows.

00:00:00The End
00:01:20Stand out, Frenchy, we're going in.
00:01:22Drag him out.
00:01:23No, you don't.
00:01:24Settle down now, you'll get paid.
00:01:33What's all the money?
00:01:34What else?
00:01:34Money!
00:01:35Nobody likes working for nothing.
00:01:39Come on out here, Colin!
00:01:49Patience, boys.
00:01:50Be with you in a minute.
00:01:55Alan, I've strung along with you in a lot of wild-eyed schemes of yours.
00:01:58But this time, you've gone too far.
00:02:00You're going to jail.
00:02:01After all I've done for him.
00:02:02Done for me?
00:02:03Your finaglins cost my syndicate a quarter of a million dollars.
00:02:06More, Mr. Murdoch.
00:02:07We finance you to mill lumber in Wisconsin.
00:02:09But you stashed it away for a timber steel in California.
00:02:12According to the new landlord, strictly legal.
00:02:14All I know is what you cost us.
00:02:16You're going to land in prison until we get it back.
00:02:19Putting me in prison is a sure way of losing all your money.
00:02:22Now, what's a couple of hundred thousand to a group like yours?
00:02:25Let me take a boatload of my boys out there and I'll make a fortune for you.
00:02:28Listen to those men.
00:02:30Why, you haven't met a payroll in weeks.
00:02:32You think they'd ever work for you again?
00:02:34They like me.
00:02:37You do too, don't you?
00:02:39What makes you think I'd trust you again?
00:02:41Jim, because your syndicate wants money and there's plenty to be had in California.
00:02:47Hey, Jim.
00:02:49What is it, Frenchie?
00:02:50The boys are mighty close to getting out of hand.
00:02:53Look, Mr. Murdoch, you better let me get the boys under control
00:02:55before they wreck the mill and you'll be out another 50,000.
00:02:58Daisy, honey, take Mr. Murdoch over to the hotel.
00:03:01The best champagne for him and his friends.
00:03:03I just happen to have a couple of bottles in the oven.
00:03:05You come along too, Sheriff.
00:03:07I have a few girlfriends who just love policemen.
00:03:11Don't forget, Fallon, I can put you in jail six months from now
00:03:14just as well as today.
00:03:41Here's your money, boys.
00:03:43Certified Cashier's Check.
00:03:44Ah, you gave us that check business before.
00:03:47Yeah, we want to see the cash.
00:03:48Where's the money?
00:03:49Yeah, we want to see the cash.
00:03:50Yeah, where's the money?
00:03:51All right, boys.
00:03:53Anything you say goes.
00:03:56Frenchie, take this check to the bank.
00:03:58Have them send over a couple of guards with the cash.
00:04:01Go on.
00:04:02You heard them.
00:04:03They want their money.
00:04:04Get to the bank.
00:04:07You know what this means, fellas?
00:04:10You're breaking up the team.
00:04:12For good.
00:04:14Jim Fallon and his boys.
00:04:17The minute you sign that receipt book, paid in full, that's the end.
00:04:21You leave me busted.
00:04:22You put me out of business.
00:04:24Good thing it is, Fallon.
00:04:26It's about time to.
00:04:28Pay them off once and for all.
00:04:29Let them come back to work for us honest lumbermen.
00:04:32Steady work and regular pay.
00:04:33We've had enough of you, Fallon.
00:04:35You'll leave them down.
00:04:37And right now.
00:04:38Yeah.
00:04:39A couple of measly bobcats turned tigers.
00:04:42We're not joking, Fallon.
00:04:43Get going.
00:04:57I'm moving no place till I'm ready.
00:05:06Get them out of here.
00:05:08That was great, Jim.
00:05:09You all right?
00:05:09You all right?
00:05:10What a rock!
00:05:12Good boy.
00:05:17Boys, even if I'd been shot, it'd been worth it to know how you feel about me.
00:05:21You're still like me.
00:05:23And now I want to tell you why I hoped you'd stick with me.
00:05:25You know me.
00:05:27Jim Fallon doesn't like the hire he likes to share.
00:05:29And right now, I want to share with you the whole north of California.
00:05:34There's giant redwoods out there, men.
00:05:36Big around is that office.
00:05:38So tall you can't see the sky.
00:05:40There's so much board footage in just one of those big trees
00:05:43that it makes a month's cutting here look like a pile of toothpicks.
00:05:47Now look.
00:05:48You're the best lumberjacks in the business.
00:05:50That's why you're my team.
00:05:52And that's why I want to take you to California with me.
00:05:55Each man a partner of Jim Fallon.
00:05:57And every man with a share in a hundred million dollars.
00:06:01How do you like that, boys?
00:06:03Do you still want Frenchy to go to the bank?
00:06:05No!
00:06:06Take your chances with me.
00:06:07I will.
00:06:10You might find a couple of cases in the office.
00:06:13Help yourself.
00:06:14Hey, it's all right.
00:06:15It's all right.
00:06:15It's okay.
00:06:16Let's go.
00:06:21Thanks, Jim.
00:06:22You're okay.
00:06:22Hey, stranger.
00:06:28I don't have to tell you how grateful I am, stranger.
00:06:31I'm Yukon Burns.
00:06:32Your name's luck to me.
00:06:34I ought to make a little statue of you
00:06:35and hang it right alongside this horse.
00:06:37You could hang me there.
00:06:38I'll throw them haul them inside.
00:06:41I'll put some stuffing in you.
00:06:42You stick with me, friend,
00:06:43and you'll always have a full belly.
00:06:45Come on.
00:06:50Alaska Goldrush, huh?
00:06:52Yukon Burns, the billionaire,
00:06:53traveling around in freight cars
00:06:54trying to get a logging job.
00:06:56You got yourself a better job than that.
00:06:58For life.
00:07:00Kind of like me, don't you?
00:07:02Like the way you square-toted with your men
00:07:04who stood up for them gun-toters.
00:07:06Here.
00:07:08Keep it learning.
00:07:10Honest, huh?
00:07:11Besides being handy with a gun,
00:07:13I can use a friend like you, Lucky.
00:07:20Hey, Jim.
00:07:27Have to teach them hawks
00:07:28just to keep their nose out of my business.
00:07:30Here.
00:07:31Wet this.
00:07:40Lamb.
00:07:41Lamb.
00:07:42Sorry.
00:07:43I didn't count on the shooting either,
00:07:44but everything worked out just fine.
00:07:48Thanks.
00:07:50That'll learn you to keep your big mouth shut.
00:07:54Come on, Yukon.
00:08:06Jim.
00:08:07Be right with you, Yukon.
00:08:11Well, your pigeon is thoroughly cooked
00:08:13and basted in white wine.
00:08:14He's all yours.
00:08:15I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:08:18I don't care anymore.
00:08:20Just pay.
00:08:21Daisy, honey, don't you trust me?
00:08:23Oh, don't Daisy, honey, me.
00:08:25You prefer Dora Fig?
00:08:27If you lay off my past,
00:08:28or I'll start to spill yours.
00:08:29Forget the past.
00:08:30Think of the future.
00:08:31That's nothing.
00:08:33We're going to get very rich in California.
00:08:36We'll leave next month.
00:08:38Not we.
00:08:39Not me.
00:08:40You.
00:08:41Honey, you're part of my luck.
00:08:43Oh, say that, Balani,
00:08:45for when you head into those wild Westerners.
00:08:47You won't be pushing around
00:08:48a bunch of these tame Wisconsin stump-jumpers.
00:08:50Don't think those Californians
00:08:52are going to sit around in their rocking chairs
00:08:54and watch you grab off their land.
00:08:55I'll handle that problem when I come to it.
00:08:58Without me.
00:09:00You'll be right there looking out for me
00:09:01same as always.
00:09:05Always is over, Jim.
00:09:07I'm tired of chasing those smoke rings of yours.
00:09:10I'm staying here,
00:09:11and I'm looking out for me.
00:09:14You're right, Daisy.
00:09:16You do a lot better without me.
00:09:19You said it.
00:09:21I'm no good for you.
00:09:23You're doing a smart thing, giving me up.
00:09:30I'm just bad for you.
00:09:32Believe me, Daisy.
00:09:34You should have a life of your own.
00:09:37Thanks.
00:09:40Thanks for everything.
00:10:00Yeah, you deserve a lot better man than me,
00:10:02but if you ever want anything,
00:10:05you know where to find me.
00:10:17I'll tell you something like that,
00:10:19you'll be back.
00:10:21Nobody Jim Fallon likes ever leaves him.
00:10:24That goes for you, too.
00:10:27Here's your job.
00:10:29I'm going to dress you up like a billionaire.
00:10:32You're going to Redwood, California ahead of me.
00:10:34Goodwill, Merchant.
00:10:35Pick the biggest treats.
00:10:37Just flash that on his face at the hostile neighborhood.
00:10:40Hostile?
00:10:40Why?
00:10:42Hope you ain't counting on me using this.
00:10:45When a man's my friend,
00:10:46I count on him for anything.
00:11:01Do you mean you've never even been to California?
00:11:04Only in my dreams.
00:11:07Why did you send that Alaska sourdough out ahead of me?
00:11:12Let's face it, Frenchie.
00:11:13It's a good timber, boss.
00:11:15But people say goodbye to you before you can say hello.
00:11:21That you've got.
00:11:22Three weeks in Redwood,
00:11:23and he's got him eating out of his hands.
00:11:26Yeah, I got a feeling he's going to bring me plenty of good luck.
00:11:40You're doing right for logging out, Mr. Keller.
00:11:42I hope so.
00:11:50Look here, Keller.
00:11:51You can't keep refusing to let these men file new timber claims.
00:11:55I'm the government agent here, Mr. Gregg, not you.
00:11:57On that door, it says office hours, 8 to 6.
00:12:00You're opening up again, right now.
00:12:02I'd stay friendly, neighbor.
00:12:05Oh.
00:12:06Palin's man burns.
00:12:08I'm Cleve Gregg.
00:12:10You're just another claim jumper to me, mister.
00:12:12That's because you're new here.
00:12:14I own the Redwood Sawdough Company,
00:12:16and I aim to finance these men file for homesteads.
00:12:19The new law wasn't made for timber thieves.
00:12:21What do you mean, thieves?
00:12:22Every lumberman around here has a copy of that law.
00:12:25All claims filed under the Stone and Timber Act of 1868
00:12:29are hereby rendered null and void.
00:12:31Land agents, that's you, Keller,
00:12:33are hereby authorized and instructed
00:12:35to accept applications on any and all such claims
00:12:38in their districts if you have $125.
00:12:42I know all about that, Mr. Gregg.
00:12:44Just the same, I'm waiting for more instructions
00:12:46from the Department of the Interior
00:12:48before I let you steal homesteads
00:12:50as my friends have owned for 50 years.
00:12:53$125 filing fee for each quarter section is stealing.
00:12:58This fellow's been scouting the biggest trees in the county,
00:13:00and he's probably bribed you to wait
00:13:02until Palin and his men get here
00:13:03to file on choice claims.
00:13:05Jim Palin's an honest man.
00:13:07He's going to pay the old settlers
00:13:08for every claim he stakes out.
00:13:10Did you hear that, Jim?
00:13:11Pay him for free land.
00:13:13He's been doing a lot of expensive goodwillin' around here.
00:13:17He knows what he's doing.
00:13:19Now get this through your head, Keller.
00:13:21You're opening this office right now,
00:13:23or I'll have you jailed.
00:13:24No, you won't.
00:13:26Pay no attention to him, Mr. Keller.
00:13:27He's been away from Byron's sister, Alicia.
00:13:31What are they all dressed up for?
00:13:34There's a hallelujah colony around here.
00:13:36Soul sailors.
00:13:38Rigid and religious.
00:13:40The dark-haired one can save my soul anytime.
00:13:45Open that office,
00:13:46and I'll have my boys break the door down.
00:13:48You do, and you'll walk in on your face.
00:13:50Keller, you're going to start
00:13:51taking applications right now.
00:13:53Come on, boys.
00:13:59Sister Chadwick, no!
00:14:00Stay with us.
00:14:01Hold your ground, Mr. Keller.
00:14:03Be firm.
00:14:03I'm going to Eureka,
00:14:04and tell this to the circuit judge.
00:14:07I'll tote your cross for 50 cents, ma'am.
00:14:10No, thank you.
00:14:11Well, seeing as how you're bull-legged,
00:14:13two bits.
00:14:13I am not bull-legged.
00:14:14Alicia!
00:14:15No, you're not.
00:14:17Sister Chadwick,
00:14:17thy father shall hear of this.
00:14:24There, now, isn't that worth it?
00:14:26Here's your quarter.
00:14:28Thank you, ma'am.
00:14:29Ah, Sister Chadwick.
00:14:31Where's your Mr. Fallon?
00:14:32I came to thank both of you
00:14:33for protecting our land.
00:14:35That Fallon's a wonderful lad, ma'am.
00:14:37I'm sure he could teach you manners.
00:14:39That's Jim Fallon.
00:14:43I'm sure he could teach you.
00:14:45Pleased to meet you, Miss Chadwick.
00:14:46Mrs. Chadwick.
00:14:48Oh.
00:14:49Just like I told you,
00:14:50you don't need to worry about your trees no more.
00:14:52Jim here's going to do the claiming.
00:14:54He's got plenty of money.
00:14:55In fact, he invented the stuff.
00:14:57Why haven't you refiled on your land?
00:15:00Multiply 400 quarter sections by $125,
00:15:03and you'll see how much we'd have to pay.
00:15:05400 quarter sections and broke?
00:15:07Well, you must be pretty poor operators.
00:15:09None of these religious colonists
00:15:10ever bother to accumulate much cash.
00:15:13There's no need to.
00:15:14See, Jim, these are wonderful folks.
00:15:17They'll give you anything they've got.
00:15:18If they haven't got anything to give you,
00:15:20they'll say a prayer for you.
00:15:23Sister Chadwick,
00:15:24you think prayer's going to save those big trees?
00:15:26We were assured we could rely on you for that.
00:15:29We don't want them touched.
00:15:31What's so special about them?
00:15:33Well, after you've been around them a while,
00:15:36he'll understand.
00:15:38Sister Alicia,
00:15:39come thee away from all those men.
00:15:42There's safety in numbers, Sister Blackburn.
00:15:44Say, by the way,
00:15:45whatever happened to your bees and vows?
00:15:47Sister Chadwick has been too long out in the world.
00:15:51I'd like you to meet my father, Mr. Fallon.
00:15:53Won't you have supper with us this evening?
00:15:55I'd like to.
00:15:56I'll meet you at 6 in the Bixby Grove.
00:15:58Mr. Burns knows the way.
00:16:00I'm anxious for you to see our trees.
00:16:10This must be good luck.
00:16:12I've known a lot of gals.
00:16:13This is the first time one of them ever asked me to come up and see her trees.
00:16:17I thought this trip was supposed to be strictly business.
00:16:20There's a lot of ways of doing business.
00:16:23What are all these promises I hear you've been making?
00:16:26Just plain common sense.
00:16:28Yukon, I'd feel a lot better if you'd walk me home.
00:16:31I'm glad the Bordy Garg's any time.
00:16:34Hey, Lucky.
00:16:35I want to talk to you.
00:16:37Meet me in the saloon.
00:16:42You better get rid of that daffy sourdough.
00:16:44Before he gets you hooked for money he ain't got.
00:16:47I ever had to ask you your advice.
00:16:50Look, I passed up top jobs towards Vosher Timber Grab.
00:16:56He promised we'd make a killing.
00:16:58All I hear now is some idiot promising to pay.
00:17:01Pay for something you can get for nothing.
00:17:02Nobody's going to pay.
00:17:03As soon as that bull brings in our loggers, I'll run them into the land office and file.
00:17:08Nobody's going to pay.
00:17:09Let's go.
00:17:39Let me borrow your knife, Lucky.
00:17:44Thanks.
00:17:56Biggest, oldest living things in the whole world.
00:18:00Make you feel kind of small?
00:18:02Nope.
00:18:03Big.
00:18:04I'm the one that's going to knock them down.
00:18:07The widow Chadwick and the folks don't want these trees touched at any price.
00:18:11He's a widow, huh?
00:18:13What's the difference?
00:18:15When you grow up, I'll explain it to you.
00:18:19Who was Chadwick?
00:18:21A young seafaring fellow.
00:18:23Here he lost his life at sea a few years ago.
00:18:29I bet there's a hundred houses in one of these.
00:18:32Look, Jim.
00:18:35Yeah?
00:18:36He's calling us to trust in you on account of what I've told him about you.
00:18:39You play square with them and you'll do all right.
00:18:42You'll bet I will.
00:18:44Well, twenty-eight and a half feet.
00:18:47This is just a baby.
00:18:49Hello.
00:18:53Right on time.
00:18:55Sister Chadwick, thou hasn't been out of my thoughts a minute.
00:18:59I hope you're both hungry.
00:19:01I look forward to thy home cooking.
00:19:03Then it will please thee to know that thou shalt help with the washing of the dishes
00:19:06to make thee feel that our home is thine.
00:19:09It's a lovely walk.
00:19:35Mr. Fallon, this is my father.
00:19:36Elder Bixby.
00:19:37How do you do, sir?
00:19:38Welcome, friend.
00:19:39Brother?
00:19:39Mrs. Blackford, Mrs. Waller.
00:19:41We met practically.
00:19:42Brother Jordan.
00:19:43How do you do?
00:19:44On the roof, Brother Williams.
00:19:47And Brother Williams' daughter.
00:19:53Magnificent country.
00:19:54It's different from Wisconsin, huh?
00:19:56Yes, it is.
00:19:57I've never been stirred as deeply as by your beautiful trees.
00:20:01And his daughter.
00:20:02Then you can understand how we feel about them.
00:20:05Why we hold them in sacred trust.
00:20:07Sacred?
00:20:08Somebody's bound to get them by claiming.
00:20:10Not if we can help it.
00:20:11I'm certain we can place faith in Mr. Fallon and Mr. Burns to help us, keep them from destruction.
00:20:18I felt like you did about trees.
00:20:20I'd soon be out of business.
00:20:21The giant sequoias are more than trees, friend.
00:20:24They are the everlasting living sign of our Creator's work.
00:20:284,000 years old, as old as the book and the faith.
00:20:33This was just a little one.
00:20:35Only 900 years old.
00:20:37But it was a living sapling when the Norman conquerors invaded England.
00:20:41It was about this size when Columbus discovered America.
00:20:46About this large, the time of George Washington and our Declaration of Independence.
00:20:50This marks the time of Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:20:55It was felled during the term of our present president, Mr. McKinley.
00:20:59God made them to touch the skies, taller than any spire of any church.
00:21:04They are our church, our place of worship.
00:21:07Mr. Fallon will build you a dozen churches.
00:21:10Let's be practical.
00:21:12You men cut timber.
00:21:13The small trees are all we cut.
00:21:15The giant redwoods we do not.
00:21:17The government passed a death sentence on every tree in the district.
00:21:20We know you'll help us.
00:21:21I admire your fate.
00:21:24Oh, stop it!
00:21:27What?
00:21:41A real home.
00:21:44Where do you sit?
00:21:46We ladies eat later.
00:21:47As it should be.
00:21:50Mr. Fallon, will you sit here?
00:21:52Oh, thank you.
00:21:54What's your name?
00:21:55His name is Tom.
00:21:57Well, no wonder he likes me.
00:22:00While the ladies are setting the meal, we'll read from the scriptures.
00:22:03It is our custom to ask the stranger in our house to do the reading.
00:22:08Oh, naturally, of course.
00:22:12Perhaps Mr. Fallon would rather cope from memory.
00:22:15Safer if I read.
00:22:17I've been known to get my verses mixed.
00:22:21Um, here, from the Psalms of David.
00:22:27Blessed is he that considereth the poor.
00:22:30The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
00:22:33Amen.
00:22:35Amen.
00:22:46Blessed is he that considereth the poor.
00:22:48You big, hardhead.
00:22:50What'd you get me into?
00:22:51You got me into it.
00:22:52You sent me out here.
00:22:54Look here, Jim.
00:22:54Just how much are you going to pay these folks for this land?
00:22:59Lucky, you better start getting yourself some common sense.
00:23:02Do you realize how much it costs to operate a timber out of it?
00:23:06I can't afford to pay for thousands of acres of free land and still run a business.
00:23:10But I gave him the word, didn't you?
00:23:12Once, last, and for all.
00:23:14There's not going to be any payment for any land the government says is free.
00:23:17You sound like a claim jumper to me.
00:23:20If you know what a sourdough thinks of that stripe, you don't want me around.
00:23:23Where are you going?
00:23:24Back to Alaska to get me some fresh air.
00:23:26Lucky, nobody Jim Fallon likes ever leaves him.
00:23:29I'm kind of superstitious about my luck running out on me.
00:23:32Look, you got the wrong slant.
00:23:35It ain't something you can wear on a watch chain.
00:23:38It ain't even money in your kick.
00:23:39Nine times out of ten, it's the way you live.
00:23:42Look who's talking about living.
00:23:44When I picked you up, you were a job hunting, empty-bellied crumb.
00:23:47Look at you now, you're just beginning to live.
00:23:49But it's going to be my way.
00:23:52Why are you stinking claim jumper?
00:23:54Oh, now take it easy.
00:23:56Get out of my way.
00:23:58Now take it easy.
00:24:01Take it easy.
00:24:17Lucky.
00:24:26I'll pay the premium for the land.
00:24:29And you won't cut the big trees?
00:24:34Sorry, Kim.
00:24:36I'll get you a doctor.
00:24:49Oh, now be reasonable.
00:24:55I'm offering you a royalty of one percent.
00:24:57You throw in all logging equipment.
00:25:01All right, two percent.
00:25:03And believe me, this is all faith, hope, and charity.
00:25:07I believe you.
00:25:08You're a decent man.
00:25:09I like you for trying to do what you don't have to.
00:25:12Well, that very nice apple butter.
00:25:14How much did the elder tell you to hold out for?
00:25:16I've told you we're only interested in saving these giant trees.
00:25:20Not your money.
00:25:22Wait a minute.
00:25:23Wait a minute.
00:25:23I didn't say anything about money.
00:25:25Just percentage.
00:25:27Percentage of what you own?
00:25:28Or what someone else owns?
00:25:30Sister Chadwick, my conscience is clean.
00:25:34All right, another half percent.
00:25:37What's your conscience name?
00:25:38Mr. Yukon Burns?
00:25:42This is a very good place to talk about conscience.
00:25:45This is our church.
00:25:47Let's lay off the pious price hiking and admit the trees are trees and money's money.
00:25:51You folks stand to make a million.
00:25:53You're right.
00:25:55Some trees are trees.
00:26:06Come here.
00:26:12You've never seen anything more beautiful.
00:26:15Never.
00:26:17Certainly there's enough timber around here without you destroying these.
00:26:21I live by the bored foot.
00:26:25Doesn't all this beauty mean anything to you?
00:26:29Beauty?
00:26:30Sure.
00:26:31That's what it's all about, sister, since the beginning of the world.
00:26:34That's what makes men thresh the wheat, pick the grapes, hire a band.
00:26:38All the sweat of men that's poured on earth's been for beauty.
00:26:42The beauty of women.
00:26:46Yeah, that's the buggy whip that drives us, Alicia.
00:26:51You know what I mean?
00:26:54I certainly do.
00:26:56You're wasting all the pretty words.
00:26:58Not words.
00:26:59Time.
00:27:07You're wasting time as well as words.
00:27:11I gotta hand it to you, widow Chadwick.
00:27:14You sure know how to put a man on ice.
00:27:16Why not?
00:27:18Business should be practical.
00:27:20And cold.
00:27:22So let's be practical.
00:27:30Lumberman, look.
00:27:32How tall?
00:27:39Five feet, five and a half.
00:27:42Two hundred and thirteen feet.
00:27:44How big around?
00:27:46Twenty-four waist.
00:27:48Sixteen feet.
00:27:50Total footage?
00:27:51Wonderfully proportioned.
00:27:53Roughly, uh, thirty-three thousand square feet.
00:27:56And every inch alive.
00:27:58Fourteen dollars per thousand bored foot delivered in San Francisco.
00:28:01You got soft lips.
00:28:02Now it takes five times as much labor to market one of the big trees as one of the little
00:28:07ones.
00:28:07And there's only three times as much lumber.
00:28:10Therefore, the giants aren't nearly as profitable.
00:28:12You haven't been kissed nearly enough.
00:28:14I said profitable, Mr. Fallon.
00:28:16You ought to understand that.
00:28:18Uh-huh.
00:28:20You're quite a mathematician, so solve this problem.
00:28:23Either you take three percent or I'm taking your land.
00:28:26Like it says in the Bible, the Lord helps him or helps himself.
00:28:29Then you'll need a lot of help.
00:28:32I've got it.
00:28:33A boatload.
00:28:36A boatload.
00:28:38A boatload.
00:28:41A boatload.
00:28:45A boatload.
00:28:47A boatload.
00:28:52A boatload.
00:28:54A boatload.
00:28:56A boatload.
00:28:57A boatload.
00:29:00A boatload.
00:29:01A boatload.
00:29:02A boatload.
00:29:04A boatload.
00:29:05A boatload.
00:29:06A boatload.
00:29:08A boatload.
00:29:16They're taking over the land office.
00:29:23Judge Crenshaw.
00:29:26Judge Crenshaw, rest me, Judge.
00:29:28We're thankful you're here.
00:29:29I hurried all the way to Eureka.
00:29:31Still swarming with boomers, I see.
00:29:33They need to claim our land.
00:29:35Well, we'll see what can be done.
00:29:39I thought you were going to file in the names of the colonists, Mr. Fallon.
00:29:42That was yesterday.
00:29:43My boys are filing.
00:29:44I want those application blanks.
00:29:45I've got the cash right here to cover all of them.
00:29:48Just a minute, Keller.
00:29:50Judge Crenshaw, must I take these applications?
00:29:53Yes, from anyone mean enough to use this land grabber's law.
00:29:57Can't Mr. Keller wait.
00:29:58Maybe some of us can raise the filing cost.
00:30:00He can't wait.
00:30:02I know claim law.
00:30:03You've got to have a place in line.
00:30:05Let's have those application blanks.
00:30:08Step up, boys.
00:30:10Fill in those blanks and duplicates.
00:30:12Fallon, this is subterfuge with intent to defraud.
00:30:15Filing on the dummy signatures.
00:30:17These men aren't dummies.
00:30:18I'm only loaning them the money.
00:30:20Are you willing to go on record that's illegal?
00:30:23No, I'm not.
00:30:24But the court will go thoroughly into the case.
00:30:26Suits me fine.
00:30:27By that time, the logs will be off and the court can have the stumps.
00:30:32Jim, you've got to let them keep the big redwoods.
00:30:34I came here to get the big ones.
00:30:37You'll never get them.
00:30:39We could have cut enough timber to raise our filing fees.
00:30:42But we believed you're Mr. Burns.
00:30:44We trusted you because of him.
00:30:46But that's past, Mr. Fallon.
00:30:47We know you now.
00:30:49With the help of the Lord, somehow we'll stop you.
00:30:57So far, you've made a liar out of me.
00:30:59Hand back every one of them application blanks.
00:31:02There ain't going to be any filing of any kind here.
00:31:11You win again, Lucky.
00:31:16Kelly, go ahead with those applications.
00:31:17I beat you half to death once.
00:31:20Now I'm going to finish the job.
00:31:23Please don't try it, Dukon.
00:31:29Don't do it, Lucky.
00:31:31Keep out of there.
00:31:46Here's your boat fare.
00:31:48I hear there's still gold in Alaska.
00:31:53I'm staying here.
00:31:56Then you'll get hurt again.
00:32:10What time have you got yourself straight on that sourdough?
00:32:17He's twice the man you'll ever be.
00:32:22Come on, boys.
00:32:23Get out those blanks.
00:32:32I'd never treat a timber boss of mine like that.
00:32:35Let's you and I have a drink sometime.
00:32:41It's a better time than now.
00:32:45And wash us clean of hatred, our father,
00:32:48that we may call no man our enemy.
00:32:51Make our faith in thee
00:32:52to be without question of thy will,
00:32:56that we may live the words of the scripture.
00:33:00Love the Lord with all thy heart
00:33:03and with all thy soul
00:33:04and with all thy might.
00:33:07Amen.
00:33:10Now it's always welcome amongst us, but...
00:33:13But I can't lick Fallon alone.
00:33:15Now you've got some mighty hefty boys here.
00:33:17And if you'd use them the way the Lord suggests...
00:33:20That's right, Yukon.
00:33:21Sister, hush, let him give his testimonial.
00:33:27Well, I've been a wicked man in my time
00:33:31with a weakness for drink and cards and other trifles.
00:33:35But I've done some reading of the book.
00:33:38And when it says love thy neighbor
00:33:40with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
00:33:43that's great.
00:33:44But if it's not enough,
00:33:46it tacks on with all thy might.
00:33:48And that means might.
00:33:50And that there's fighting talk.
00:33:51It's the only kind Jim Fallon will ever understand.
00:33:54Violence is not in our creed.
00:33:57Yeah, I know.
00:33:59And I believe in turning the other cheek.
00:34:01But you've just about run out of cheeks.
00:34:03It's time you started growing some religious muscles.
00:34:06Thou dost not understand our covenants.
00:34:08Well, appears not.
00:34:09But where I come from,
00:34:11the Lord didn't build strong backs
00:34:12just to let waken the seas of the earth.
00:34:14Whatever we do, Mr. Burns,
00:34:16will be done in conformance with the law.
00:34:18But Mr. Fallon is using the law
00:34:20to take our land.
00:34:21The Lord will not fail us.
00:34:25Well, I see it's no use.
00:34:29Thanks anyhow, Elder,
00:34:30for letting me voice my theology.
00:34:36Father.
00:34:39Book of Job,
00:34:419th chapter, 22nd verse.
00:34:43They that hate thee
00:34:44shall be clothed with shame.
00:34:47I'm Judge Crenshaw.
00:34:49I've been looking for you.
00:34:50I've got something I want to talk to you about.
00:34:52So have I.
00:34:53Well, then, hop in, both of you.
00:34:55We'll go over to your place
00:34:56where we can talk in private.
00:35:01Mr. Burns,
00:35:02I heard you were an honest man
00:35:03and good with a gun.
00:35:05I also heard you confessed
00:35:06to a weakness for liquor, cards, and women.
00:35:09Not women, your honor.
00:35:10They ain't for the weak.
00:35:12One of the principal reasons
00:35:13for my coming to Redwood
00:35:14was to appoint a marshal.
00:35:16Marshal?
00:35:19Well...
00:35:22You've got one, Judge.
00:35:23Then that's settled.
00:35:25Congratulations, Yukon.
00:35:27I guess this gives him
00:35:28the power to stop Jim Fallon.
00:35:30Well, they won't keep those applications
00:35:31of his from being mailed to Washington.
00:35:33It would take an act of God
00:35:35to stop that.
00:35:37Judge,
00:35:37just how would a legal man
00:35:39define an act of God?
00:35:40Well, I'd say any cataclysm,
00:35:43which was not caused
00:35:44by the human hand.
00:35:47Cataclysm?
00:35:48Has that got anything
00:35:49to do with cats?
00:35:52Nice kitty.
00:36:10Baby.
00:36:12Baby.
00:36:13Baby.
00:36:14Baby.
00:36:15Baby.
00:36:16Baby.
00:36:17Baby.
00:36:29Sister Chadwick.
00:36:30Good evening.
00:36:31Taking up with four-footed beasts, eh?
00:36:35Don't blame you what I've seen of the two-legged kind.
00:36:38Don't you think the new marshal was an excellent choice?
00:36:40Mr. Burns is a good man.
00:36:42Transferred Fallon's clay money out of here into the bank.
00:36:45Didn't want it to reflect on me if anything happened.
00:36:48I brought a letter of protest written by Judge Crenshaw stating his opinion of our rights in this case.
00:36:53He wants a copy forwarded to Washington along with every one of Jim Fallon's applications.
00:36:58Well, it's getting late and I'm awfully hungry.
00:37:01That's a lot of copying.
00:37:03I'll get started on it. You go home and eat.
00:37:05Thanks.
00:37:07Do you mind if we open a window? It's rather stuffy in here.
00:37:10I'll do it.
00:37:16You better lock up after me.
00:37:22See you later, Miss Alicia.
00:37:42I'll get him.
00:37:42Mr. Alicia, I have to grab him if you can.
00:37:44Get away, Alicia, we don't have food.
00:37:53Cawdoo!
00:37:59Cawdoo!
00:38:00Cawdoo!
00:38:01Dickie!
00:38:15Cataclysm.
00:38:21Wait a minute.
00:38:24I don't want anybody taking anything out of here.
00:38:38I don't want anybody taking anything out of here.
00:38:38Sister Chadwick, what happened?
00:38:40It was my cat, Mr. Keller.
00:38:41Getting out of the way of two stray dogs.
00:38:44Don't blame the cat at all.
00:38:46Kitty kitty.
00:39:11You just going to stand there and watch it burn?
00:39:15Well, it's quite a sight.
00:39:17My application during that.
00:39:19Your claim money was transferred to the bank.
00:39:22I'm the only loser.
00:39:23It's burning down my courtroom.
00:39:26I see.
00:39:32I suppose no one thought of calling the fire department.
00:39:43How did it happen?
00:39:44Accident.
00:39:46For a cat.
00:39:53Dear sister, you're not the sweet child I first knew.
00:39:56Me neither, Jim.
00:39:57Let him that stole steal no more.
00:40:00Rather, let him labor, working with his hands, the thing which is good.
00:40:03Ephesians.
00:40:04First four, line 26.
00:40:0628.
00:40:07Kelly, you better wire Washington tonight for a new batch of application blacks.
00:40:11What's your hurry?
00:40:12You can't file again until they send duplicate title records.
00:40:16That takes time.
00:40:23That is the most satisfying act of God I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
00:40:27Judge, I demand you appoint a marshal to investigate.
00:40:29I've appointed one.
00:40:31Marshal Burns, will you kindly look into this case?
00:40:35Marshal Burns?
00:40:37Yep.
00:40:38There's not much I can do about an act of God.
00:40:40I cite your precedent, Mr. Fallon.
00:40:42The Chicago case of Mrs. O'Leary's cow.
00:40:45Of course, we're not quite as big as Chicago.
00:40:47We've only got a cat.
00:40:49Nice, Jim.
00:40:54As you so rightly said,
00:40:56the Lord helps him who helps himself.
00:40:58We'll raise the money for the filing fees by cutting and selling timber.
00:41:02That fire doesn't change a new law.
00:41:05Your flock can't work property.
00:41:07They don't own.
00:41:07Mr. Fallon's right.
00:41:08That's the law.
00:41:10I'll follow the law to the letter, Jim.
00:41:12That's all I want.
00:41:15Looks like you'll have to train that cat to steal trees.
00:41:26Timber!
00:41:47Timber!
00:42:04Timber!
00:42:06Quiet!
00:42:07Quiet, everybody! Quiet! I'll have you all removed.
00:42:10Fires may come and Rome may burn, but this court's now in session.
00:42:14What are the defendants charged with, Marshal?
00:42:17Your Honor, James Fallon accuses these men of cutting trees on land they no longer own.
00:42:22That's right. Those claims are now the property of the United States government.
00:42:26How do the defendants plead?
00:42:28Guilty.
00:42:30Thirty days of hard labor.
00:42:32Marshal, I'll land the prisoners to your custody and order you to see that the following sentence is carried out.
00:42:36They are to cut timber on government property.
00:42:39The logs are to be transported to Tidewater here at Redwood.
00:42:43Your Honor, what do you intend to do with those logs?
00:42:46Well, section 7, paragraph 18 of the penal code states,
00:42:51trinkets or other saleable objects produced by prisoners may be sold.
00:42:55And the money is there from given to them at the time of their release as an aid to rehabilitation.
00:43:00Logs 40 feet long are not trinkets.
00:43:03This court is serving the ends of justice, sir, and you are held in contempt.
00:43:08Marshal, collect the gentleman's fine, $100.
00:43:12$100.
00:43:13All right.
00:43:15But for $100, I want to say something.
00:43:18$200.
00:43:20Any further remarks, I'll make it three.
00:43:26Put this in your safe.
00:43:28More than cover the fine.
00:43:31Court's adjourned.
00:43:36In the next 30 days, we must do six months' work, night and day.
00:43:39And even on the Sabbath, we'll be lifting the ox from the ditch.
00:43:42We'll need $50,000 to save our land.
00:43:45Marshal, will you kindly rush the prisoners to the woods?
00:43:50No, no, no.
00:43:51Lee James.
00:44:03O'
00:44:05We'll be back!
00:44:37One week more, Garth Billy, we'll have our claim money.
00:44:42My old lady and the kids are having a rough at home.
00:44:45Like I told you, you just have to wait for your money.
00:44:48That's no good.
00:44:48The partnership is fine on paper, but I need some cash.
00:44:51That goes for me, too.
00:44:52All the money I've got in the bank, I'm saving for more claim filing.
00:44:56Once the boys are talking about heading back.
00:44:57Nobody wants to stay.
00:44:59That's the truth.
00:45:01Breaking up the team again, huh?
00:45:03Well, this time you can't leave, men.
00:45:05When the new application blanks get here, I'll need every one of you.
00:45:08The boys don't feel good about that either.
00:45:10About what?
00:45:10They don't like the raw deal you're giving these natives.
00:45:13What's the matter with you birds?
00:45:15Getting gooey?
00:45:16We came out here to work, not to steal.
00:45:18This is strictly legal.
00:45:19Yeah, there's a lot of talk that it ain't.
00:45:22Frenchy, take the boys over to the saloon.
00:45:26It won't work, Jim.
00:45:30All right.
00:45:31I'll meet you at the bank.
00:45:33Get out of here.
00:45:40Once you start that, you'll start hitting every week or so.
00:45:43It won't take long to whittle down your capital.
00:45:46Thinking again, huh?
00:45:47Yeah, Jim.
00:45:48Remember that sawmill man, Greg?
00:45:52He'd be a pretty soft partner for a smart fellow like you.
00:45:55Stop thinking so hard, Frenchy.
00:45:57You'll have to get yourself a bad headache.
00:46:01Fallon's getting down to a shoestring.
00:46:03He's finally dipped into his claim money.
00:46:06Here's where I steer him to you for financing.
00:46:09You mean I finally get an introduction to the great Jim Fallon?
00:46:11The Fallon company becomes LaCroix and Greg.
00:46:14You call the shots, Frenchy.
00:46:16I'll be with you.
00:46:25Your soft partner draws a pretty hard contract.
00:46:28He really doesn't need you.
00:46:29It's a good deal, Fallon.
00:46:30Stop bluffing, Greg.
00:46:33Deceased.
00:46:33I get it.
00:46:35If anything happens to me, the Fallon company goes to you two, huh?
00:46:38Sign it, Jim.
00:46:39Greg here will release funds to your account.
00:46:42Just want you to know I could see through that swamp you call a brain.
00:46:46Jim's always suspicious.
00:46:48But you won't shove any knives in my back because you'll never get a stick to tidewater without me.
00:46:52How do you mean?
00:46:55That little secret is my life insurance.
00:47:09Well, look at here.
00:47:12Fellas, I don't want to impose on you, but do you mind looking after these girls so the rest of
00:47:16their baggage arrives?
00:47:17Oh, you know what they call a lumberjack?
00:47:21Not for me, baby.
00:47:24My, you're strong.
00:47:29I've been sick.
00:47:42All right, men.
00:47:44Have fun.
00:47:45The drinks are on the company.
00:47:49Hacking machine.
00:47:51Let's dance.
00:47:52Are any of these boys married?
00:47:56I could drink your slipper for the white needle.
00:47:58Take Aggie.
00:47:59She's from Texas.
00:48:01Here.
00:48:02Fill it up.
00:48:09Little Dorothy.
00:48:11I've been dreaming of you for days.
00:48:14I used to dance on a beer cake for dimes.
00:48:16Remember that big, swell-headed lumberjack who never had the dime?
00:48:19We're doing all right now, honey.
00:48:21Say, how does it feel to be Queen or Redwood City?
00:48:24Fine.
00:48:25If you're the king.
00:48:34The same old Jim.
00:48:36Daisy, honey, we're going to be rich.
00:48:38Very rich.
00:48:39Just sign these, Dora Figg.
00:48:42Yep.
00:48:43The same old Jim.
00:48:45What kind of last music this time?
00:48:46Well, those wild westerners you warned me about try to cut my throat.
00:48:50This is just to give me a little protection.
00:48:51Uh-huh.
00:49:01It's lucky for you I learned to write instead of read.
00:49:04Thanks, Dora.
00:49:05Jasper!
00:49:07You saw the lady sign these.
00:49:08Notarize them.
00:49:16Well, I'm ready for a nice warm bath.
00:49:20The tub's down the hall.
00:49:22What?
00:49:23Well, I'll be seeing you, honey.
00:49:26What?
00:49:26Oh, look, I'm going to Sacramento for a couple of days.
00:49:28You make yourself at home.
00:49:29Uh, Frenchie will look after you.
00:49:31Frenchie La Croix?
00:49:32Sure.
00:49:33Be nice to her.
00:49:37Come in.
00:49:39Uh, Miss Fisher, may I present, uh, Sister Chadwick?
00:49:43Forget your tambourine, honey.
00:49:46I'm sorry, Jim.
00:49:47I didn't mean to intrude.
00:49:49Well, Daisy's an old friend.
00:49:52He means well-seasoned.
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:56I came to tell you we've cut enough timber.
00:49:58Our logs will soon be at tidewater.
00:50:01Our faith has been realized.
00:50:03We'll be able to keep our lands.
00:50:06But my father and I wanted you to know if you want to stay here and work, we'll help.
00:50:13Goodbye, Miss Fisher.
00:50:15Goodbye, Jim.
00:50:18Jim, huh?
00:50:20Lucky for you, my father never owned a shotgun.
00:50:23What about hers?
00:50:24Believe me, Daisy, I'd rather have my head shot off by a fig than my soul saved by a Bixby.
00:50:29Have fun, girl.
00:50:44I'm the charming soubrette on the police gazette.
00:50:49I can dance with gestures and grace.
00:50:52I've a definite style and a beautiful smile.
00:50:55If by chance you glance at my face,
00:50:58The barbers, the cops, and first-nighters,
00:51:02They all have pictures of me.
00:51:05I'm sharing my fame with the fighters,
00:51:08John L. and Knockout McKee.
00:51:12I am known as the toast of the Barbary Coast
00:51:17And the kind you'll never forget.
00:51:20I'm a very cute queen and you'll know what I mean
00:51:23If you read the police gazette.
00:51:43If you're feeling depressed, let me humbly suggest there's a way for you to forget.
00:51:50Simply turn to the page, to the news of the stage,
00:51:57When you read the police gazette.
00:52:19Champagne!
00:52:20Mm-hmm.
00:52:22A little drink to watch.
00:52:26We've got a lot of things in common.
00:52:28Yeah.
00:52:30Name one.
00:52:32Well, we've, uh, both been Jim Fallon's chumps.
00:52:37I'm through. How about you?
00:52:39What's rattling around in that head of yours?
00:52:41Look, Daisy, Jim's out of town. He's up to something. You're part of it.
00:52:45What's going on?
00:52:47Why don't you ask Jim when he gets back?
00:52:50I'm paying cash money for information.
00:52:53I have a notion to tell Jim about this.
00:52:56You stye on the eye of a flea, on the thigh of a nid, on the neck of a nath.
00:53:08I've seen things. That dam wasn't there last week.
00:53:11Not like that it wasn't, but the foundation's been there since the old mining days.
00:53:15Fallon. Jim Fallon.
00:53:16Well, he's sure got the colonists blocked.
00:53:19Not just the colonists.
00:53:21Nobody's running any more logs to Tidewater without my say-so.
00:53:24But we're partners.
00:53:25Correct.
00:53:26And I've got you right where you thought you had me.
00:53:28You bought that dam with my money.
00:53:31I don't own it.
00:53:32I just got permission to control the river with it.
00:53:35Alan, you've gone too far.
00:53:38No.
00:53:39My good health is very important to you boys.
00:53:42Anything happens to me, the owner of that dam will see that you never get a lot to market.
00:53:46Oh, by the way, I brought back another surprise for you from Sacramento.
00:53:49Be in town this afternoon.
00:53:51I have an appointment with Judge Crenshaw.
00:53:58Franchise for the dam is valid.
00:54:00Fire, property, right, established by the miners when this was gold rush country.
00:54:04We've got to locate the owner.
00:54:06I'm sure if he knew what it means to-
00:54:07The owner's a woman, Dora Fig.
00:54:09Dora Fig?
00:54:12Sacramento Post Office box is the only address.
00:54:16I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.
00:54:17Absolutely nothing.
00:54:19Thank you, Judge Crenshaw, for making that clear.
00:54:22True hell, we, Jim, I can hardly keep this gun from going off right in your face.
00:54:25Don't blame me.
00:54:26You're the one that led these sheep right into the middle of this wolf fight.
00:54:30Judge Crenshaw, this is for you.
00:54:33From the head of the Department of Interior.
00:54:37It is my considered opinion that the Fallon Company can, without penalty,
00:54:41proceed to take possession of and clear of their land.
00:54:44You mean they can cut down our trees?
00:54:46I'm afraid they can.
00:54:48Frenchy, you and Greg set the boys to work right now,
00:54:50possessing and clearing the land.
00:54:52You see, Sister Chadwick, you and your friends could have made a pile of money.
00:54:56Didn't you ever learn any other word except money?
00:55:01You're getting in a rut, Jim.
00:55:02You better look out, because when a rut gets deep enough, it becomes a grave.
00:55:06You've got a couple of partners liable to put you in it.
00:55:17Hell, as you are young, Ihave me alone.
00:55:26You are ο может
00:55:30You are young, you and my child.
00:55:38You are young, son.
00:55:44You are young, bisogna.
00:55:44You are young, my wife.
00:55:46You are young, 277, as a весьミ сейчас,
00:55:50Oh, Lord, hear our last prayer in this temple.
00:55:55If its destruction be by thy will,
00:55:58then to thy higher judgment we bow.
00:56:02Open the hearts of each of us
00:56:04to speak forgiveness for these men of greed
00:56:08who have not been touched by thy understanding.
00:56:12Amen.
00:56:18Don't take any backtalk.
00:56:20We've got the law with us.
00:56:33Come out of there, you fools!
00:56:35You're in the line of fall!
00:56:38We must leave.
00:56:41It's our home.
00:56:43My place is here.
00:56:45They want to go down with the ship.
00:56:47It's their hard luck.
00:56:48They'll be murdered.
00:56:49Fallon's company.
00:56:50He gets life for murder.
00:56:51We get the company.
00:56:55The years that grew into these trees
00:56:57make them long and tedious to saw.
00:57:02There's time to get our friends,
00:57:03Judge Crenshaw and the Marshal.
00:57:06Go on.
00:57:08Hurry!
00:57:29What's the matter with you men?
00:57:31You undercut that tree to hit the cabin.
00:57:32That's right.
00:57:33Stop the sawing!
00:57:35Where's the Bixby's?
00:57:37How should I know?
00:57:51I'm sorry, but you may lose your house.
00:58:00My father's in there!
00:58:02Stay here.
00:58:06Help me, you're my father.
00:58:21Fuck you!
00:58:24struggles me.
00:58:55So, let's go.
00:58:58So, let's go.
00:59:24So, let's go.
00:59:30So, let's go.
00:59:31Let's go.
00:59:32Let's go.
00:59:33Let's go.
01:00:08Let's go.
01:00:13Let's go.
01:00:29Let's go.
01:00:37Let's go.
01:00:38Let's go.
01:00:39Can't hold a man to answer when the chief witnesses for the defense.
01:00:42Release him.
01:00:52Thanks.
01:00:53My people forgive those who trespass against us.
01:00:57My father, most of all.
01:01:01Let's go.
01:01:01Let's go.
01:01:02Let's go.
01:01:02Let's go.
01:01:04Let's go.
01:01:16Let's go.
01:01:19Let's go.
01:01:20Let's go.
01:01:31Let's go.
01:01:34Let's go.
01:01:35Let's go.
01:01:39Let's go.
01:01:54Let's go.
01:02:06Let's go.
01:02:09Let's go.
01:02:12Let's go.
01:02:13Let's go.
01:02:15Let's go.
01:02:16Let's go.
01:02:17Let's go.
01:02:18Hey.
01:02:19You're not in love with that no good, are you?
01:02:22Well girl, you're crazy.
01:02:24You see a big Tom Leopard out in the woods and you don't get close.
01:02:27That is, unless you happen to be a lady leopard.
01:02:30He's been gentle enough with me.
01:02:32That's when he does, he's creeping.
01:02:34Now, you listen to me, girl.
01:02:35A Marion Parson could straight-jack at Jim Fallon and lock him in a box in the bottom of the
01:02:39sea
01:02:39and he'd still slip the gaff and run off with the wedding presents.
01:02:44Then I've been known to change.
01:02:46Oh lady.
01:02:47Even I have been given up by women reformers.
01:02:50The biggest mistake a woman can make
01:02:52is to pick the wrong man and try to make him right.
01:02:54Why don't you just go off somewhere
01:02:56and have a good cry and forget him?
01:02:59I'm reminding you of your duty, Marshal.
01:03:02The duty's protected.
01:03:05Alicia, it's started. What do we do?
01:03:07Are you sure?
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:14It feels like any minute.
01:03:19Take it to the hotel.
01:03:20Room 204.
01:03:22204?
01:03:23That's Jim Fallon's room.
01:03:25Why not?
01:03:26This is all his fault.
01:03:36See those lighted windows upstairs?
01:03:38They're his.
01:03:39You get up in the land office ruins.
01:03:41Maybe you can pot him from there.
01:03:44Charlie, he doesn't know you.
01:03:46You take the saloon.
01:03:49Bullock, I'll stay out here.
01:03:50You get on the hotel porch.
01:03:52He comes through the lobby.
01:03:53Signal me.
01:03:54One of us has got to get him.
01:04:34Come on upstairs.
01:04:36Now what have I done?
01:04:37I want to talk to you.
01:04:49Come on upstairs.
01:04:50Hey, stranger.
01:04:51What are you doing?
01:04:53Come on.
01:04:53Double straight.
01:05:01Come on, sir.
01:05:03Your sister will be all right?
01:05:07Do you want me to get my sister?
01:05:08No, sir?
01:05:08No, sir.
01:05:08No, sir.
01:05:13What's that?
01:05:14Baby.
01:05:16This is one thing you can't pin on me.
01:05:21Looks like you and the stalk arrived at the same time.
01:05:24What?
01:05:24Bill, it's a boy.
01:05:26The street was no place for a baby to be born.
01:05:28Whose baby?
01:05:29Where can I find some water?
01:05:31Right down the hall, right there.
01:05:35What is this, a hotel or a nursery?
01:05:38A baby was just born here thanks to Jim.
01:05:41Congratulations.
01:05:42What do you mean, thanks to Jim?
01:05:44I'd better get out of here.
01:05:45It might be catching.
01:05:48Now what's this all about?
01:05:50You and your land grabbers forced them out of their home.
01:05:52I had nothing to do with it.
01:05:54Too bad his father can't be here.
01:05:56I had nothing to do with that either.
01:06:03So for all I care, you can stay on your pious pedestal.
01:06:06I've never placed myself on any pedestal.
01:06:10I'm too full of bad temper.
01:06:17What a girl.
01:06:19Why you chigger-bitten Don Juan.
01:06:21You just try pitching hay with her and I'll shoot that lump you call her head right out from under
01:06:25your head.
01:06:25Forget it.
01:06:26I tried once, got frostbite in the middle of July.
01:06:29That don't mean she's not stuck on you.
01:06:32You're crazy.
01:06:35Well, maybe so.
01:06:36When you signed that deal with Frenchie, it was heads you die and tails you get killed.
01:06:41Who do you think's got me looking after you?
01:06:42Alicia Chadwick.
01:06:45I don't believe you.
01:06:46Why should you?
01:06:47It wouldn't mean anything to you.
01:06:49You're going to have everything you wanted.
01:06:51You're going to be a millionaire.
01:06:53Sure.
01:06:54Why don't you tell the truth just once?
01:06:56Why don't you come clean and admit that all this wine you're gusling is as sour as vinegar.
01:07:02Tell me more.
01:07:03You stinking steak jumper.
01:07:05I'm only trying to save your hide.
01:07:08It's not because I want to, but I promised her.
01:07:12You still like me, don't you?
01:07:17Come on, sweetheart.
01:07:18I want you to watch me thank Alicia for sending you back to me.
01:07:23Let's go.
01:07:51Get back.
01:08:42You can't love this girl.
01:08:46He understood.
01:08:48Look where it got him.
01:08:51He lost his life protecting you.
01:08:55He should have looked out for himself.
01:09:01When I was a child, I was taught to believe that there was a God-given seed of good at
01:09:07the root of everything alive.
01:09:10But I'm beginning to doubt that now.
01:09:14There isn't the slightest bit of good in you.
01:09:19Let's go.
01:09:19Let's go.
01:09:19...
01:09:48Let's go.
01:10:08I got your message.
01:10:09What do you want?
01:10:10Come here.
01:10:15Sit down, Judge.
01:10:19Look, I figured out how you can stop Frenchie and Greg from cutting on that land.
01:10:23I had that figured out long ago.
01:10:25But you'd have to confess to subterfuge and attempt to defraud when you file those claims for homesteads.
01:10:30And that's a felony.
01:10:32Sit down and draw up an affidavit.
01:10:34What?
01:10:35You heard me.
01:10:39The government will hold all your claim money for forfeit.
01:10:42What do you want me to do, burst out in tears?
01:10:44Yeah.
01:10:45I've been trying to make a dent in you ever since I got here.
01:10:48Stop trying or you'll break your axe.
01:10:50Get those colonists to logging so they can file.
01:10:54Will you take care of Dora Fig and the dam that's blocking them?
01:10:57Let's pretend I'm Dora Fig.
01:11:00You thought of everything, didn't you?
01:11:02I admire what you're doing, Fallon.
01:11:04Then keep your mouth shut about it.
01:11:06Around everybody.
01:11:07What do you think Frenchie and Greg are going to do when they find out?
01:11:10Just stand there with their hands folded?
01:11:11Just make out that affidavit, will you?
01:11:15There.
01:11:17I'll give you back your good luck piece.
01:11:19You'll need it for those tree wolves.
01:11:23Thanks, Judge.
01:11:25Oh, uh, I've been eating some eating money, too.
01:11:29Want to cover that?
01:11:31It's covered.
01:11:33High man deals.
01:11:38Come on, I'll teach you to think of your soul instead of your belly.
01:11:42Check those through to San Francisco.
01:11:47Hate to see you leave, honey.
01:11:49Sure going to miss you.
01:11:50Uh-uh.
01:11:51You'll be beating the drums while she's singing her hymns.
01:11:54Happy trip.
01:11:55Oh, uh, just Dora Fig B's, will you?
01:11:58You'll have to talk to Frenchie about little Dora Fig.
01:12:01Come again?
01:12:02I sell the damn to Frenchie for $25,000.
01:12:07Daisy, honey.
01:12:09That's not funny.
01:12:16What's the matter?
01:12:18Wrong flavor?
01:12:23You're telling the truth.
01:12:25That property was mine.
01:12:27After all,
01:12:29I couldn't live forever on your promises.
01:12:31What promise did I ever break to you?
01:12:34You never broke any.
01:12:36But you never kept any.
01:12:38It took me ten years to get the stars out of my eyes.
01:12:41All the rugs I helped you pull out from under the suckers.
01:12:45I learned.
01:12:47Oh, boy, how I learned.
01:12:49Enough to pull the whole floor right out from under you.
01:12:55Boy.
01:12:57Knock me sky high.
01:12:59You'll land on your feet.
01:13:01You always do.
01:13:03That $25,000 will repay me for all the years I've wasted.
01:13:06Yeah, man.
01:13:08I finally got me a stake.
01:13:13You got yourself educated and well-heeled, huh?
01:13:18Nice work, Daisy.
01:13:20I'm patting myself on the back, too, for being a good teacher.
01:13:24So long, pal.
01:13:26No hard feelings.
01:13:34Thanks, Brother Fallon.
01:13:36Judge Crenshaw told us you led us through the dam.
01:13:38Blessings on me this beautiful day.
01:13:40Frenchy brought the dam out from under me.
01:13:43You're choking the river with logs for nothing.
01:13:45Is this another by tricks?
01:13:46The spots of the leopard do not change.
01:13:49Well, it's time to change yours.
01:13:51Why don't you men get some bristles on your back and start the fight?
01:13:54It's your only chance to spring those logs and get back your land.
01:13:57You can't pray that dam out of the way.
01:14:01No, but we can get around it.
01:14:03That old mining railroad on our property.
01:14:05It wouldn't take much new track to bypass the dam and haul logs to the river below it.
01:14:09Sister, that'll do it.
01:14:11We'll need some rails and tools.
01:14:12I'll swindle somebody out of them.
01:14:15Swindle?
01:14:16Borrow.
01:14:17Sometimes it's all the same.
01:14:18How many of you men worked on this purge rack last time?
01:14:22Judge Crenshaw donated this.
01:14:24Feed your boys good.
01:14:26They work faster.
01:14:27That was very kind of him.
01:14:29And you, too, for helping us.
01:14:31Sister Chadwick, just between us leopards.
01:14:34Keep watching my spots.
01:14:58Downs almost to the river with that track.
01:15:00Yeah.
01:15:01If it gets there, we're out of business.
01:15:03Yeah.
01:15:04The way that cut them timber.
01:15:06How many trussles are there?
01:15:08Three.
01:15:10Show me the one nearest the river.
01:15:34Come in.
01:15:37My first time in a caboose.
01:15:38Sister Wallace.
01:15:40Sister Blackburn went to town with the baby.
01:15:44How are we doing?
01:15:45Just fine.
01:15:46Five carlos have gone already.
01:15:48And this one goes this afternoon.
01:15:51I hate to admit it, but thanks to Brother Fallon.
01:15:54It is good to have him on our side, isn't it?
01:15:56It makes one feel like the strength of Jeroboam was with us.
01:16:00He must mean Jeremiah.
01:16:01Jeroboam was a scamp.
01:16:03I guess I mean both.
01:16:05See thee later.
01:16:07Oh, tell Mr. Fallon.
01:16:09I'll be here until supper time if he needs me.
01:16:11All right.
01:16:28All right.
01:16:54Next one's your pain.
01:16:56How about that one would do it?
01:17:01What was that?
01:17:02We'd better find out.
01:17:10He's right in there.
01:17:12Oh, I might have a gun.
01:17:13Who is it?
01:17:16Better speak up fast.
01:17:29Come on, Mr. Tom.
01:17:31We'll never find him in this bush.
01:17:33We'd better get a train over that trestle quick.
01:17:50Release the brake on the caboose.
01:17:51While you're at it, lock the doors.
01:17:52We'll take care of the end cars.
01:18:23We'll take care of the end cars.
01:18:32We'll take care of the end cars.
01:18:40Come on.
01:18:42We'll be back.
01:19:06Mr. Chadwick figured out we need two more carloads.
01:19:08I think we'll be quicker to get them than below.
01:19:10Let's move.
01:19:12Hey, boss!
01:19:24What happened?
01:19:27They said one more train would crash it.
01:19:32Crash what?
01:19:34It's a third threshold near the river.
01:19:38Sounds like a train now.
01:19:40Can't be.
01:19:40The locomotive's not due to one o'clock.
01:19:44Get them to a doctor.
01:19:47Boss, it is a train.
01:19:50Where's Dr. Chadwick?
01:19:51She's in that caboose.
01:19:52She's in that caboose.
01:19:55Okay.
01:19:56To anything.
01:20:08It's a real train.
01:20:13What if I'm doing?
01:20:19That's quite a lot.
01:20:20I'm going to let him out of 10 minutes.
01:20:20You need to make me.
01:20:20I don't know.
01:20:21I'm going to see the light flying head.
01:20:21That's a little bit.
01:20:22I'm going to take care of us.
01:20:49So, let's go.
01:21:19So, let's go.
