00:00:49He fell in love with a young girl.
00:00:52...
00:01:14Great country, isn't it?
00:01:17Well, there's a lot of it.
00:01:19I'd like it better if we're sort of populated.
00:01:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:01:23Easterner, eh?
00:01:24How'd you guess?
00:01:25Well, you've got the city look about you.
00:01:28Too many tall buildings.
00:01:30Not enough cactus.
00:01:32Too many sidewalks.
00:01:34Not enough prairie.
00:01:36Say, where are all these ranches I've been hearing about?
00:01:39Isn't enough out there for a jackrabbit to make a living on?
00:01:42You see them hills?
00:01:45Well, they're all burned off on this side where the sun hits them.
00:01:48But on the northern slope, they're all nice and green.
00:01:52There's one ranch after another.
00:01:54Did you ever hear of a ranch called Red Rock?
00:01:56Red Rock?
00:01:57Sure.
00:01:58That's over beyond Winston.
00:02:00A nice piece of property.
00:02:03Are you interested in cattle?
00:02:06Only when they're served medium rare with plenty of gravy.
00:02:09Oh.
00:02:10Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:17Going through to the coast, I suppose.
00:02:19No, I'm getting off at Winston.
00:02:21Goodbye.
00:02:22Goodbye.
00:02:23Keep the change, boy.
00:02:35Baggage delivered, brother?
00:02:36Uh, yes.
00:02:37Say, uh, where's the town?
00:02:41Ha, ha, ha.
00:02:42So it is.
00:02:44Bus will be leaving in a little while.
00:02:46Thanks, I'll walk.
00:02:47Say, you can have my bags left over at John H. Beckett's office.
00:02:50You know where that is?
00:02:51Right in the Winston block on the main drag.
00:02:53You can't miss it.
00:02:59It's my property, isn't it?
00:03:01Ain't no matter of doubt about that, Mr. Shelby, but...
00:03:05Then why can't I sell it?
00:03:07Is anything wrong with it?
00:03:10Red Rock's worth today about half what it was six months ago.
00:03:15Should be about 10,000 head of stock on the place.
00:03:18I understand there's less than five.
00:03:21You mean the stock's been sold?
00:03:22Don't know.
00:03:23Ain't been shipped out of here, Mr. Shelby.
00:03:26Then what?
00:03:27Well, looks like a lot of cattle has just evaporated.
00:03:32But man, that's impossible.
00:03:33There must be some record as to where the stock's gone to.
00:03:36What about Hepburn's reports?
00:03:38Your uncle never acquired any record.
00:03:40Hepburn operated the ranch, turned in half the profits,
00:03:43and your uncle let it go at that.
00:03:45Why didn't you report this?
00:03:47You're one of the executors.
00:03:48Well, you can't prove anything outright.
00:03:52Hepburn's quite a big bug around here.
00:03:56What's the matter?
00:03:57Afraid of him?
00:03:58Well, not exactly, but...
00:04:01A big bug or not, listen, Beckett.
00:04:04I inherited that ranch from my uncle.
00:04:07It's mine.
00:04:08I own it.
00:04:09Now, everything's going to be different from now on.
00:04:11I'm going out and have a showdown with that Hepburn.
00:04:16If I'm short a couple of million sirloin steaks,
00:04:18I'm going to find out where they went to.
00:04:21How do you get there?
00:04:22Well, it's pretty tough for a car,
00:04:24but I can fix you up with a horse if you're bound to go.
00:04:27Can you ride?
00:04:30A little.
00:04:32I feel like I'm going to nose over any minute
00:04:34walking on these high heels.
00:04:36Mm, nice horse.
00:04:38What's his name?
00:04:39He minds the name of Leo when he minds.
00:04:42Leo?
00:04:43That's a funny name for a horse.
00:04:45Yeah, he is a funny horse.
00:04:47OK, I'm used to funny horses.
00:04:49Here's some sandwiches, ma, I'll fix for you.
00:04:51Oh, thanks.
00:04:52Don't forget to take the left fork at the gully.
00:04:54I'll be back in a minute.
00:04:56I'll be back in a minute.
00:04:57I'll be back in a minute.
00:04:58I'll be back in a minute.
00:04:59Don't forget to take the left fork at the gully.
00:05:01OK.
00:05:02Just throw the reins over his head
00:05:04and he'll get off and he'll stand, maybe.
00:05:10I'll see you tomorrow.
00:05:15How are you, Miss Anne?
00:05:16How are you, Al?
00:05:19Sure good to see you in town, Miss Hepburn.
00:05:22First of the month's about the only time you honor us.
00:05:24And I bet you just sit around and wait.
00:05:27Well, Miss Anne, you gotta admit,
00:05:29you're a big improvement to the scene rate.
00:05:31Oh, I do admit it.
00:05:32Where's the payroll?
00:05:33Ready in a minute.
00:05:35How's your dad getting along?
00:05:38Well, he still sticks to his wheelchair.
00:05:40Bones don't heal so readily at dad's age, you know.
00:05:42Don't you worry about your dad.
00:05:44Why, you couldn't kill Sam Hepburn with dynamite.
00:05:48Here you are, Miss Anne.
00:05:52All in hard cash.
00:05:54So I hear.
00:05:57Hi.
00:05:58Hi, boys.
00:06:10Guess my horse is thirsty, too.
00:06:27Here you are, Miss Hepburn.
00:06:28I'll put him in the bags for you.
00:06:29No, thanks.
00:06:30I can do it myself.
00:06:31Oh, no trouble at all.
00:06:32So I'll do it myself.
00:06:33Goodbye.
00:06:34Huh?
00:06:35Goodbye.
00:06:36Oh, goodbye.
00:06:46Cowboy.
00:06:48Huh?
00:06:49Pick up that package for me, will you, cowboy?
00:06:52Why, certainly.
00:06:59It's all right.
00:07:00Hmm.
00:07:02Nice horse.
00:07:26Huh?
00:07:27Ooh.
00:07:28Oh, you missed me, huh, boy?
00:07:29You missed me?
00:07:30Bye.
00:07:31Oh, you missed me.
00:07:32Oh, you missed me.
00:07:33Bye.
00:07:35Bye.
00:07:36Let's go.
00:07:37Well, I'll be back, then.
00:07:38Oh, sure.
00:07:39Sure, you'll be back, sure.
00:07:41Sure.
00:07:42Sure.
00:07:43Sure.
00:07:44Sure.
00:07:45Take care.
00:07:46Take care.
00:07:47Sure.
00:07:48Sure.
00:07:49Bye.
00:07:50Fine.
00:07:51Bye.
00:07:52Bye.
00:07:53OK.
00:07:54Bye.
00:07:55I'll bet you a new pair of boots he shows up here looking for a job within an hour.
00:07:58A pair of boots? You're wrong.
00:08:01He tried to speak to me twice in town.
00:08:03Without a bit of encouragement, I'm sure.
00:08:06Well, I don't have to encourage him. You ought to know that.
00:08:09Martha, when's dinner? I'm starved.
00:08:12Everything's ready, Miss Ann. On the table.
00:08:14What about this fellow, Ann? Suppose he does show up.
00:08:19Give him a job, Dad. He's got swell eyes.
00:08:25When are you going to cut out this foolishness, Ann?
00:08:28You know I'm crazy about you.
00:08:30What's the matter, Dale? Can't you stand a little competition?
00:08:33Anyway, there's no need to worry. He isn't here yet.
00:08:39But he will be.
00:08:43It's you. I want to see Mr. Sam Hepburn.
00:08:46What do you want?
00:08:49I want to see Mr. Hepburn. Is he here?
00:08:52Who is it, Dale? Tell him to come in.
00:08:56Mr. Hepburn, could I see you...
00:08:58Sure. Don't mind, do you, Dale?
00:09:05What's the matter?
00:09:08I've got a little problem.
00:09:11I've got a little problem.
00:09:14What's the matter?
00:09:17I've got a little problem.
00:09:20I've got a little problem.
00:09:24Now, Mr. Hepburn, I don't know just how to...
00:09:27I know. You lost me a pair of boots.
00:09:30My what? Oh, this is serious.
00:09:33These things always seem serious at first. You'll get over it.
00:09:36But, Mr. Hepburn, you...
00:09:39I know the whole story, my boy. You're not the first one.
00:09:42You followed my daughter out here, and, of course, you wanted a job.
00:09:47I'm not the first one.
00:09:50You followed my daughter out here, and, of course, you wanted a job.
00:09:53I want... Oh, Dad!
00:09:56Would you mind?
00:09:59Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:51Oh, and don't forget the job.
00:10:54Now, young man, what about that job?
00:10:57From around here?
00:11:00Oh, no, sir. No, sir. Further east.
00:11:03All right. Hunt up Hawk Siebert, my foreman. Tell him I said to put you on.
00:11:06See you later.
00:11:09But I...
00:11:12But I...
00:11:33What's the matter, Dale?
00:11:36What's wrong? Oh, I don't know.
00:11:39He's an absolute cowboy. There's something mighty funny about him.
00:11:42What do you mean, funny? Afraid he might get you a girl?
00:11:45Oh, he's just another Romeo.
00:11:48Oh, no, he isn't. And he's not a cowboy.
00:11:51And I'd like to know what he's doing out here.
00:11:54You mean he might...
00:11:57I mean he might be anything. I can't understand why Hepburn put him on.
00:12:00Hi there, Romeo.
00:12:03Where's your banjo, dude? You bet he lasts a week.
00:12:07Here I am, Nebraska. A brand-new Romeo.
00:12:10Oh, just a lonesome cowboy
00:12:13caught in the toils of love.
00:12:16Howdy, stranger. Nebraska Kemp's the name.
00:12:19I'll sing you a song or play you a tune. What do you have?
00:12:22Pretty good, too. He'd be a hillbilly if he could find a hill.
00:12:25What's your name besides Romeo?
00:12:28Uh, uh, Ernest, uh, Howlett.
00:12:31Where's your clothes?
00:12:34I left them in town.
00:12:37We'll send in for them tomorrow if you last that long.
00:12:42Enter our domicile.
00:12:45You know, Dale, he may not like it out here.
00:12:48I was just thinking the same thing.
00:12:54What's all this Romeo business?
00:13:00See them marks? Yeah. Why?
00:13:03Every one of them is for some cowboy Romeo
00:13:06that followed Miss Ann out here to the ranch.
00:13:09The crosses are when we checked them out.
00:13:12Well, you can cross me out right now.
00:13:15I didn't follow anybody out here. I'm not interested.
00:13:18Do you understand? Certainly.
00:13:21And I don't like pretty girls, whiskey, or money myself.
00:13:24All the Romeos came by foot and by horse
00:13:27It seems most uncanny
00:13:30Who steal our little Annie
00:13:35Give me that chalk.
00:13:38Hi, Nebraska. Got the new Romeo scored up?
00:13:41All scored up and waiting to be checked out.
00:13:44Well, you better keep your chalk handy.
00:13:47I don't think this one will be with us long.
00:13:50So long, Romeo, and don't make a bigger fool out of yourself than you have to.
00:13:54Wait a minute.
00:13:57Easy, boy. Use your head.
00:14:04Remember, he's the boss's pet
00:14:07and assistant manager of the ranch.
00:14:10I don't care who he is. He can't bluff me.
00:14:13Oh, yes, he can. He's the biggest bluff in Arizona.
00:14:19You got me.
00:14:23You got me.
00:14:54Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:14:57What are you doing?
00:15:00Hey, what are you doing?
00:15:03I'm doing a little curio-hunting.
00:15:06What?
00:15:09He's a snake, huh?
00:15:12He's a snake.
00:15:15He's a snake.
00:15:18He's a snake.
00:15:21He's a snake, huh?
00:15:24Yep. Nice little rattlesnake.
00:15:27In here?
00:15:30And they don't fly, either.
00:15:33And rattlers don't climb walls.
00:15:36You mean someone deliberately put that snake on my bed?
00:15:39Well, it seems like somebody's mighty anxious to get you off this ranch.
00:15:42Say, that snake might have got me, too.
00:15:45That's right.
00:15:48You know, there's some mighty funny things going on around this ranch.
00:15:51Yeah, but what's that got to do with putting rattlesnakes in my bed?
00:15:54Well, I ain't sure.
00:15:57But it seems like somebody might think you're out here to make trouble.
00:16:00Trouble?
00:16:03Well, what do you think?
00:16:06You ain't no cowboy.
00:16:09Well, I'm trying hard to be.
00:16:12Say, how do you stand on this funny business you've been talking about?
00:16:15I just mind my own business.
00:16:18If Hepburn wants to run half the owner's cattle off of this ranch, I just ain't looking.
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:24That's it.
00:16:31It won't be long till both your legs will be healed, Mr. Hepburn.
00:16:34Well, I hope so.
00:16:37Getting along all right.
00:16:45All right.
00:17:15Come on.
00:17:45How about the dance, dude? You going?
00:17:48What dance?
00:17:51The dance in town next Monday. Ain't you heard?
00:17:54No.
00:17:57That's funny. I heard you were taking Miss Ann.
00:18:00Huh?
00:18:03Well, I'm not going to any dance,
00:18:06either with Ann Hepburn or without her, especially with her.
00:18:09Well, I'm sure glad to hear you say that, dude.
00:18:12She certainly does know how to twist them around her finger.
00:18:15She may be the queen of the prairie, but you've got to remember,
00:18:18she hasn't got any competition.
00:18:21She's a good looker, all right,
00:18:24but New York and Chicago are full of good-looking gals,
00:18:27and I've been to New York and Chicago.
00:18:30Anyway, I wouldn't take Ann Hepburn to the dance
00:18:33if she came in here right now and asked me herself.
00:18:37Oh, uh, hello.
00:18:40He was, uh, we was just talking about you.
00:18:43I heard you.
00:18:46So you wouldn't take me to the dance, not even if I walked right in and asked you?
00:18:49Nope.
00:18:52But I've told everybody in town you're going to take me.
00:18:55Why, you just run around and tell them I changed my mind.
00:19:00I know why you won't take me.
00:19:03You're afraid.
00:19:06That's right, I'm afraid of high slip.
00:19:09I'm scared to death.
00:19:12You can't see it from where you're standing, but I'm just shivering all over.
00:19:15Oh, I dropped my compact.
00:19:18Hmm, so you did.
00:19:21Aren't you going to pick it up?
00:19:24What do you think?
00:19:27You're nearest to it.
00:19:31Who does she think she is?
00:19:34You'll find out.
00:19:37She ain't even started to work on you yet.
00:19:42Look here, Howard.
00:19:45I understand you're thinking of going to the dance Monday night.
00:19:48Not me.
00:19:51Nebraska and I have planned to rehearse a little yodeling.
00:19:54Oh, you're smarter than I figured you were.
00:19:57Romance is unhealthy for punk cowboys.
00:20:00Keep your plans the way they are and practice yodeling, get me?
00:20:03Well, suppose I want to change my mind.
00:20:06I might want to go to the dance.
00:20:09Don't do it. I'm taking Miss Ann to that dance. Understand?
00:20:12You're welcome.
00:20:15I wouldn't take her if she had a new dress and feathers in her hair.
00:20:18Now, does that make you feel better?
00:20:21Oh, you're pretty smart, aren't you?
00:20:24I'm into my own business.
00:20:27Remind me someday and I'll show it to you.
00:20:30Oh, say, can you ride a horse?
00:20:33Of course I can. What's the matter with you?
00:20:36Can you ride buck and horse?
00:20:39Why, sure.
00:20:42Can you ride bareback?
00:20:45Why, of course.
00:20:48Don't you ever catch cold?
00:20:51Ride in, cowboy.
00:21:01Boy, that's riding.
00:21:04That's not riding. That's flying.
00:21:09Say, Hawk, when am I going to get a chance to do some riding?
00:21:12You want to ride one of them broncs?
00:21:15Not me. I said riding. I'm no i-diver.
00:21:18All right, son. Let's see what we can do about it.
00:21:21Okay.
00:21:24Hey, Doc, come here.
00:21:30You know Romeo?
00:21:33Well, he thinks he can ride.
00:21:36Hold back dynamite and fix him up.
00:21:39When I give you the high sign, bring him out.
00:21:44So you think you can ride?
00:21:48That's what I came out here for.
00:21:51Well, I'm not so sure about that.
00:21:59You want to ride? There's a horse.
00:22:02You talk like a pretty brave guy. Let me see you do something.
00:22:05That's not a horse. That's a volcano.
00:22:08Say, I wouldn't ride one of those broncs without a parachute.
00:22:11Oh, I see.
00:22:14There's a streak of yellow right down the back, just as I figured.
00:22:17Hmm. Fortune teller, huh?
00:22:20What are you trying to do, Dale? Kill a dude?
00:22:23Well, he said he wanted to ride.
00:22:26So you tossed him in there with those killers.
00:22:29He wouldn't last five seconds, and you know it.
00:22:35You fool, where are you going?
00:22:38Hey, Duke, wait a minute.
00:22:42Don't ever get on a bronc without shafts.
00:22:45Yeah, you have to get your pants kicked off.
00:22:54Okay, Nebraska, thanks.
00:23:04Let him loose, boys.
00:23:12Ride him. Ride him.
00:23:15Ride him. Ride him.
00:23:18Ride him, cowboy.
00:23:21Ride him, cowboy. Ride him, cowboy.
00:23:24I told you that kid could ride.
00:23:27Yeah! Hang on, boy.
00:23:33Ride him.
00:23:37Go. Look out.
00:23:40It's all right. It's all right.
00:23:43Pick him up, boys. Take him into the house.
00:23:46Come on.
00:23:56Very pretty.
00:23:59You did this deliberately.
00:24:02You didn't ride that horse. I heard you.
00:24:05You are already.
00:24:08Martha, where are you?
00:24:18I'll get the other thing, dear.
00:24:23Whoa! Wait a minute.
00:24:26What day is this? I don't want to pass.
00:24:29Oh, are you all right?
00:24:32Well, I guess I'm all together. How's the horse?
00:24:35I'm glad.
00:24:38Why?
00:24:44I just didn't want anything to keep you from taking me to the dance Monday night.
00:24:47I'm not going to the dance. Didn't you hear?
00:24:50Listen, cowboy, I want you to take me to that dance.
00:24:54And I'm in the habit of having my way.
00:24:57Well, that's a bad habit. I couldn't go to the dance now anyway.
00:25:00You see, I'm a cripple.
00:25:31Oh, is the young man all right, Miss Anne?
00:25:34He's the meanest, most conceited, self-centered, bigoted young upstart I've ever seen in my life.
00:25:42But tell God I like him.
00:26:00I'll be back.
00:26:23You know, I've been kind of curious about this canyon ever since the last round-up.
00:26:27What you mean by a box canyon is that there's only one way out.
00:26:30That's right.
00:26:33Does that fence mean anything to you?
00:26:35What fence?
00:26:38Well, slap my britches.
00:26:41They sure have made a box out of it.
00:26:44So that's where the cattle went to.
00:26:46Somebody run them in there and shipped them out when nobody was looking.
00:26:51Yep. That's the way I've got it figured.
00:26:54You know, I was just thinking.
00:26:56Not a dirty work to let them get away with this.
00:26:59It's nothing but plain cattle rustling to me.
00:27:02But you can't prove nothing with a fence.
00:27:04What do you mean we can't?
00:27:06But we don't know who built it.
00:27:08We'll be at this canyon at the next round-up, can't we?
00:27:11Now you're talking.
00:27:15Hey!
00:27:24Phew! That was a close one.
00:27:27What do you suppose it means?
00:27:30It means we guessed right.
00:27:34Let's be getting out of here. Go back to the ranch.
00:27:37I'm going to the dance tonight.
00:27:39And I always dance better without bullet holes.
00:27:41Okay, honey.
00:27:43Get your horse and keep going.
00:27:57Who's that?
00:28:03Riding a horse.
00:28:05Huh?
00:28:07Hepburn riding a horse.
00:28:09You're crazy. Give me them things.
00:28:13Well, slap my britches if it ain't.
00:28:16And he's got a rifle.
00:28:18I'm going to have a showdown with that bird tonight.
00:28:21You're going to have a showdown? What do you mean?
00:28:24I was just thinking of the owner's interest.
00:28:26But we can't really prove anything yet, can we?
00:28:29That's right. We'd better wait till the round-up.
00:28:32Yeah. Then the real owner will probably show up any time now.
00:28:38Oh, I don't know what it's all about.
00:28:41I must be getting thick.
00:28:44But it seems to me the owner of the ranch had better get here darn quick.
00:28:53You know, it's a shame a man like Hepburn should go crooked like that.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:01And he's got such a nice daughter, too.
00:29:04Yeah.
00:29:11Eat up.
00:29:16There you are, Miss Ann. Everything's ready.
00:29:18Two hundred barbecued beef sandwiches.
00:29:20Two hundred, Miss Ann?
00:29:22Fifty jars off.
00:29:24Say, who's going to take care of all this grub at the dance?
00:29:27Now, you don't want to go to this dance, do you, Martha?
00:29:30Don't you think I ever get lonesome, Miss Ann?
00:29:33All right, honey.
00:29:35You get yourself all ready and come along with the rest of the bunch.
00:29:37Oh, fine.
00:29:41Come on.
00:30:01Here, take this.
00:30:05You shooting gophers?
00:30:07They are. I left to take them to the dance on one condition.
00:30:10Well, what's the catch?
00:30:12I want you to order Howard to drive the grub in.
00:30:15And to tell him to look after the horses.
00:30:17Oh, I'd just hate to do that. He wouldn't be able to go to the dance.
00:30:20I'll be ready in a little while.
00:30:27Hey, where's Romeo?
00:30:29Well, he and Nebraska's out riding fence. They'll be in directly.
00:30:32Oh, the girls tell me I'm handsome.
00:30:36They smile at me all day.
00:30:38Just think how I'd have to fight them all if I ever wore a beret.
00:30:46Hey, Romeo.
00:30:48Hey, Howard.
00:30:50Come over here.
00:31:01Got a good job for you, Romeo.
00:31:03Harness up that bay team and hitch him to that station wagon over there and haul the grub to town.
00:31:07You'll take care of the horses tonight, too.
00:31:09I'm sorry you'll miss the dance.
00:31:12Oh, that's all right.
00:31:14You'll be there so the ladies won't miss me.
00:31:17Where are you going?
00:31:18I want to see Mr. Hepburn.
00:31:20Well, you can't see him.
00:31:21He's taking a nap and left word he wasn't to be disturbed.
00:31:24I hope he's feeling all right.
00:31:26Oh, sure. He often takes a nap.
00:31:28What do you want to see him about?
00:31:32That's my business.
00:31:43Here's your vanity.
00:31:45I'm afraid you're going to get that nice young man into trouble, Miss Ann.
00:31:48I can hardly wait.
00:31:50He's coming.
00:32:01He's coming.
00:32:23Going to a dance, son?
00:32:24No, he's not going to a dance. He's ahead and cuts me.
00:32:29Hey, dude.
00:32:30I've got a dance with Miss Ann for you.
00:32:32Thanks very much. That'll be a big favor.
00:32:37Oh, Romeo didn't want to go to the dance,
00:32:40Romeo, my, oh, mercy.
00:32:43But heist with me for long and made me
00:32:46feed the horses' mercy.
00:32:49Say, Nebraska, someday you'll sing on the other side of your mouth.
00:32:53I can do it now.
00:32:56Oh, I sing from the east and I sing from the west
00:33:00And I sing from the north and south east
00:33:03But this is the first time in my life
00:33:05I've sang all over my mouth east
00:33:09Whoopee!
00:33:13Hey, Doug.
00:33:15The dude was snooping around Box Canyon today with Nebraska.
00:33:19How do you know?
00:33:20I saw him.
00:33:21Now, look.
00:33:22You and a couple of boys give him a good going over tonight.
00:33:24He'll be out there alone with the horses.
00:33:26Find out what he knows and don't be too careful.
00:33:30It'll be a pleasure.
00:33:54There he is.
00:34:01There he is.
00:34:14Oh, I can't do that.
00:34:17Oh, here I am, cowboy.
00:34:20Seems to me I heard you say you wouldn't take me to the dance.
00:34:26Beautiful country, isn't it?
00:34:30Nice profile.
00:34:34So you won't talk?
00:34:38Well, I don't want to talk to you either.
00:34:45Get out.
00:34:49Get out.
00:35:08Take the packages around to the rear, cowboy.
00:35:10Oh, and have the carriage here at 11, James.
00:35:19Hey, you.
00:35:20How'd you like to make yourself ten bucks?
00:35:22For ten dollars, I'd eat a rattlesnake raw.
00:35:25Just deliver this grub and keep your eye on the Red Rock stock tonight.
00:35:28Here's your ten bucks.
00:35:30Ten bottles of snake oil.
00:35:32I'll be drunk for ten days.
00:35:37Yeah, come on, boy.
00:35:44And another thing.
00:35:46They've been running the cattle into this Fox Canyon
00:35:49and shipping them out secretly.
00:35:52And today, old man Hepburn took a shot at me.
00:35:56I told you that bunch was a pretty tough outfit.
00:35:59Why not take the sheriff back out there with you?
00:36:02No, we're not ready for that.
00:36:06Yet.
00:36:10You know, it's a shame a man like Hepburn should go haywire like that.
00:36:14Are you thinking about Hepburn or his daughter?
00:36:18I'm not interested in his daughter.
00:36:21You keep saying that and you'll start believing it yourself.
00:36:25It's the truth.
00:36:26Sure, I believe you.
00:36:30Say, uh, where are my bags? Over the house?
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:34Suppose we go on over there.
00:36:36I think I'd like to freshen up a little bit.
00:36:39You wouldn't be going to the dance, would you?
00:36:47Oh, shut up.
00:37:10Come on.
00:37:17Do me a favor, will you?
00:37:18Sure, what is it?
00:37:19I ditched Highslip and you'll be here any minute.
00:37:21Plenty, ma'am.
00:37:22I want you to rush me. Don't let him break in.
00:37:40You'd better hop that dude before you come in, Dunn.
00:37:43And don't be too rough on him, boys.
00:37:46No, we won't.
00:38:10Hey, what's the idea?
00:38:12Oh, how do you do, Mr. Highslip?
00:38:14Shall we have some refreshments, Jim?
00:38:16You said it.
00:38:23What'd she say?
00:38:24She wouldn't let me cut in.
00:38:25Now, you listen.
00:38:26If you go out there and break in, then I'll come out.
00:38:28I'm not going to break in.
00:38:30I'm not going to break in.
00:38:31I'm not going to break in.
00:38:32I'm not going to break in.
00:38:33I'm not going to break in.
00:38:34I'm not going to break in.
00:38:35I'm not going to break in.
00:38:36I'm not going to break in.
00:38:37If you go out there and break in, then I'll come out.
00:38:39Get me?
00:39:08Ann, why didn't you wait for me?
00:39:17Is this my dance?
00:39:25Nice weather we're having.
00:39:27Sometimes it's cold, and then sometimes it's not so cold.
00:39:38What's the matter, Dale?
00:39:39Lost your girl?
00:39:41You never missed when you named that fellow Romeo.
00:39:45Lovely room, isn't it?
00:39:47Not bad for a small town.
00:39:52Let me go.
00:39:53I'll teach that huge Romeo how to dance.
00:39:55Let me go.
00:39:56He's doing all that by himself.
00:39:58I'll teach him.
00:39:59Come here, you.
00:40:01Come here, you.
00:40:19I never thought I'd have the pleasure of walking with you, Mr. Highslip.
00:40:31There you are, old.
00:40:32Now, don't hurt yourself.
00:40:44Say, that dude ain't out there, them horses.
00:40:46Nobody there but a drunk.
00:40:48You ain't seen the dude, have you?
00:40:55Did I say something wrong?
00:41:01That's about as cool a piece of work as I've ever seen.
00:41:04Who is this Tenderfoot?
00:41:06He's the meanest, stubbornest, most conceited, self-centered, high-hat dude Tenderfoot I've ever seen.
00:41:14But how he can kiss.
00:41:31Dad!
00:41:33Oh, Dad!
00:42:00Dad!
00:42:01Oh, hello, dude.
00:42:18Gets kind of tiresome sitting around here all day.
00:42:33Yes, I sure worry about you.
00:42:35No kidding, though.
00:42:36If this roundup lasts another week, you'll be a cowboy right.
00:42:40And I'm beginning to like it.
00:42:42Well, that about cleans them up, I guess.
00:42:45How many head would you say?
00:42:47Well, it's pretty hard to figure, son.
00:42:49They're scattered clear up the valley there.
00:42:50Couple thousand, maybe.
00:42:52I don't know.
00:42:53Where's Hyslop?
00:42:55I haven't seen him since early morning
00:42:56when he started out with us.
00:42:59Suppose we go on over and have a look at that canyon.
00:43:02All right.
00:43:17Say, you don't suppose there could be any other reason
00:43:19for shutting that herd up in there, do you?
00:43:23Not that I can say.
00:43:37Hey, look.
00:43:40When do you plan on taking this new bunch, Mr. Crane?
00:43:42We'll take them out tonight.
00:43:43That suits me.
00:43:45That last bunch was OK.
00:43:47Here's the money.
00:43:48You'll find it all there.
00:43:49You sure this is all right with Mr. Hyslop?
00:43:51Certainly.
00:43:52All right.
00:43:58That guy paid off to Hepburn for all those cattle.
00:44:01What do you think of that?
00:44:04Well, that settles it as far as I'm concerned.
00:44:11Hiya, Mr. Crane.
00:44:12Hiya.
00:44:13New stocks in the Box Canyon.
00:44:15How about the money for that last bunch?
00:44:17Well, I gave it to Mr. Hepburn.
00:44:20That was OK, wasn't it?
00:44:21Oh, sure, sure.
00:44:23So long.
00:45:14Dude?
00:45:29I want to talk to you, dude.
00:45:31Sit down.
00:45:34Dude, have you seen my father?
00:45:37Well, I...
00:45:38I mean, have you seen him away from his wheelchair?
00:45:41Riding?
00:45:44Father's been acting strange ever since his accident.
00:45:48Clayton's been going to his room,
00:45:50locking himself in for hours.
00:45:53Yesterday, he was away all afternoon.
00:45:56I think...
00:45:59Dude, I feel as if something terrible is about to happen.
00:46:03And I'm sure you know what it is.
00:46:06Won't you tell me?
00:46:08What are you doing here on this ranch?
00:46:10Really?
00:46:14Did you come here to watch my father?
00:46:22It's true.
00:46:25I knew it.
00:46:43I knew it.
00:46:44I knew it.
00:46:45I knew it.
00:46:46I knew it.
00:46:46I knew it.
00:46:47I knew it.
00:46:48I knew it.
00:46:49I knew it.
00:46:50I knew it.
00:46:50I knew it.
00:46:51I knew it.
00:46:52I knew it.
00:46:53I knew it.
00:46:54I knew it.
00:46:54I knew it.
00:46:55I knew it.
00:46:56I knew it.
00:46:57I knew it.
00:46:58I knew it.
00:46:58I knew it.
00:46:59I knew it.
00:47:00I knew it.
00:47:01I knew it.
00:47:02I knew it.
00:47:02I knew it.
00:47:03I knew it.
00:47:04I knew it.
00:47:05I knew it.
00:47:06I knew it.
00:47:06I knew it.
00:47:07I knew it.
00:47:08I knew it.
00:47:09I knew it.
00:47:10I knew it.
00:47:10I knew it.
00:47:11I knew it.
00:47:12I knew it.
00:47:14Hi, boys.
00:47:15Hi.
00:47:17Say, Hawk, I'm riding in the ranch in the morning.
00:47:20Oh, you are?
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:22Mighty nice of you to come and tell me about it.
00:47:24Who's running this outfit?
00:47:26You are, Hawk.
00:47:28I'm going in just the same.
00:47:29What's the idea?
00:47:31We're all going in as soon as we finish up here.
00:47:33I'm leaving at sunup.
00:47:39Hey, you.
00:47:39You're fired.
00:47:40Now, don't lose your shirt.
00:47:42That guy acts like he was the boss.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:45Don't he?
00:47:47Oh, Romeo acts like he was the boss.
00:47:49He gave us all fair warning.
00:47:52We don't know whether he is or not.
00:47:54But you'll find out in the morning.
00:48:02Who is it?
00:48:03Come in.
00:48:08Let's do it.
00:48:13Come.
00:48:37I see you're much better, Mr. Hepburn.
00:48:40I'm getting along very well.
00:48:42What is it you want?
00:48:44What I have to say is very difficult.
00:48:47I was at Box Canyon yesterday when you were there.
00:48:52Oh, you were.
00:48:55What do you mean?
00:48:57Now, Mr. Hepburn, I want you to get me right on this.
00:49:00If you're willing to-
00:49:00What is this?
00:49:02A shakedown?
00:49:03No, it's not a shakedown.
00:49:05Now, just a minute.
00:49:06Do you know who I am?
00:49:07I'm sick and tired of all this.
00:49:10I was at Box Canyon yesterday.
00:49:11Yes, what if I was?
00:49:13What business is it of yours?
00:49:16Can't I go riding around my own ranch?
00:49:18Who are you to interfere?
00:49:20Just a punk cowboy following my daughter around
00:49:23and telling me how to run my business.
00:49:27Now, get out of here.
00:49:42I'll show you.
00:49:5750 years out here and a Duke cowboy trying to kill me-
00:50:03Why, Dad, you're walking.
00:50:04Certainly I'm walking.
00:50:05What of it?
00:50:06Been walking for a long time.
00:50:09Dad, what does the dude mean?
00:50:11I get rid of one whippersnapper, and now you.
00:50:14Ah!
00:50:15Can't I go to Box Canyon?
00:50:17Can't I ride around my own ranch?
00:50:21But these rumors.
00:50:23There is something wrong.
00:50:24Wrong?
00:50:26I'll say there's something wrong.
00:50:27Go to your room!
00:50:29Leave me alone!
00:50:42Well?
00:50:43How'd you make out?
00:50:45I didn't make out.
00:50:47All I can do now is turn the thing over to the sheriff.
00:50:49Turn it over to the sheriff?
00:50:51Well, this ain't none of your business.
00:50:53I'm going to make it my business.
00:50:56All right.
00:50:57You want to go to the buckboard that's hitched up at the back of the house.
00:51:01Look.
00:51:05There goes Hepburn.
00:51:08There goes Hepburn.
00:51:10I'm going to slip over the house to have a look at the books before he can cover up.
00:51:15What are you taking that for?
00:51:17Oh, just in case.
00:51:19Hepburn needed a gun at the canyon, didn't he?
00:51:37Come on.
00:52:01Dude.
00:52:02Oh, I'm sorry.
00:52:03Forgive me.
00:52:04Wait a minute.
00:52:05I want to talk to you.
00:52:07If I do anything for you, you know that.
00:52:09Take me into town, will you?
00:52:11Why?
00:52:12Don't ask questions, please.
00:52:13Just take me.
00:52:14I want to get away from this ranch.
00:52:16I hate it.
00:52:24Ann.
00:52:29Take me away.
00:52:37You bet I will.
00:52:39Get your things together.
00:52:46Come on.
00:52:47The buckboard's out back.
00:53:06Too late, Hyslop.
00:53:36I've got the goods on you, Hyslop.
00:53:38Give me that money.
00:53:40Come on.
00:53:46I collected this money for the cattle your gang drove into Box Canyon.
00:53:50But I couldn't actually prove anything.
00:53:52Oh, Mr. Hepburn, I was only...
00:53:54No use, Hyslop.
00:53:55I've been pushing a wheelchair around a long time to get the goods on you.
00:54:00What are you going to do?
00:54:01I'm going to call the sheriff.
00:54:02You and your gang are through in this district.
00:54:04Hello?
00:54:05Hello?
00:54:18What's the matter?
00:54:19I don't know.
00:54:30Is he dead?
00:54:31I don't know.
00:54:32You, Hank, call Doc Wilson.
00:54:34Make it quick.
00:54:38What's going on here?
00:54:39Somebody shot the old man.
00:54:41I saw Hepburn put $10,000 in that safe not an hour ago.
00:54:45Where's the dude?
00:54:46I saw him go away in the buckboard in the sand.
00:54:49Yeah, I bet he's got the money.
00:54:52You seem to know a lot about this, Hyslop.
00:54:54Where were you?
00:54:55Suppose I ask you the same question.
00:54:57Suppose I ask you the same question.
00:54:59You seem to be pretty thick with this.
00:55:01Now, look here, boys.
00:55:02What about this dude?
00:55:03Where's he from?
00:55:04Who is he?
00:55:05What's he doing around here?
00:55:06He ain't a cowboy.
00:55:07Hey, Doc.
00:55:09Call the Red Rock right away, will you?
00:55:13He's on his way.
00:55:14Cut out the gab.
00:55:15This is a job for the sheriff.
00:55:17Sheriff nothing.
00:55:18Don't move him.
00:55:19Don't move him.
00:55:20Boys, that crook's getting away.
00:55:21By the time the sheriff gets here, he'll be across the line.
00:55:24Come on, fellas.
00:55:25We'll stop him.
00:55:28He'll stop him.
00:55:29With a slug of lead.
00:55:32Why was he so anxious?
00:55:36This whole thing is plum local.
00:55:38Popped?
00:55:39Romeo didn't shoot him.
00:55:42How do you know?
00:55:44I don't know.
00:55:45But the kid isn't the shooting kind.
00:55:58This is his gun.
00:55:59And it ain't been shot.
00:56:01I'm going to head the kid off before Highslip fills him full of lead.
00:56:04All right.
00:56:05Use my horse.
00:56:19Come on, boys.
00:56:20Come on.
00:56:27Come on.
00:56:57Come on.
00:57:03Dude.
00:57:05I'm going back.
00:57:08I can't run out on my dad.
00:57:12No matter what happens.
00:57:14No matter what he's done.
00:57:15He's still my father.
00:57:18Well, I...
00:57:19I wouldn't worry too much, Ann.
00:57:23I think everything will come out all right.
00:57:27How can everything come out all right?
00:57:31Because...
00:57:32I own the ranch.
00:57:35My real name is Selby.
00:57:38Selby?
00:57:42Yeah.
00:57:44Selby.
00:57:48Why are you...
00:57:50spying on my father?
00:57:53And making love to me?
00:57:55You don't understand, Ann.
00:57:56Get out.
00:57:58Get out!
00:57:59But wait.
00:58:00Get out!
00:58:13Get out!
00:58:44Where's the dude?
00:58:45Why?
00:58:46Never mind why.
00:58:47Where is he?
00:58:48Well, I just left him.
00:58:49Come on, boys.
00:59:07Hey!
00:59:14Oh, boy.
00:59:15I'm glad I found you.
00:59:16Where's Ann?
00:59:17She went back to the ranch.
00:59:18What's the matter?
00:59:19Plenty.
00:59:20Get undercover.
00:59:21What's the idea?
00:59:22Somebody shot old man Hepburn and Highslip
00:59:23trying to pin it on you.
00:59:24Oh.
00:59:28But that's absurd.
00:59:29Oh, never mind that.
00:59:30I know you didn't do it.
00:59:31But Highslip's got to have a goat, and you're it.
00:59:33But his gang is right behind me,
00:59:34and they'll shoot you down on sight.
00:59:35Now, you get undercover
00:59:36while I go get the sheriff.
00:59:37But wait.
00:59:38Now, come here.
00:59:39Never mind waiting.
00:59:40The gang is right behind me.
00:59:41I tell you, get undercover.
01:00:01Wait.
01:00:02This fellow's afoot.
01:00:03He won't stay along the road.
01:00:04You boys fan out.
01:00:06Cover a half a mile.
01:00:07Don't ask questions.
01:00:08Shoot.
01:00:09He didn't do it.
01:00:10He didn't shoot.
01:00:11He didn't give old Hepburn a chance.
01:00:14Hey, Doc.
01:00:15Wait.
01:00:18When she gets back home, something's going to pop.
01:00:21Why?
01:00:22I've got the dough.
01:00:23I'm making my getaway tonight.
01:00:24You stick with the boys and make it look good.
01:00:26I'll meet you at El Gato.
01:00:28All right, boss.
01:00:36All right, get on your feet there.
01:00:38Don't think about it.
01:00:43Give me that money.
01:01:09All right, come on now.
01:01:11You're not hurt.
01:01:12Now, keep your distance and get along,
01:01:14or I'll wrap this one over your head.
01:01:39How am I, Doc?
01:01:41Well, they couldn't kill you with dynamite, Sam.
01:01:46How are you, Sheriff?
01:01:47Any news?
01:01:48Not yet.
01:01:49Who shot you, Sam?
01:01:51Hyslip.
01:01:53I caught him stealing cattle.
01:01:56Then he came in here and robbed the safe.
01:01:59He's a good man.
01:02:00He's a good man.
01:02:01He's a good man.
01:02:02He's a good man.
01:02:03He's a good man.
01:02:04He's a good man.
01:02:05He's a good man.
01:02:06He's a good man.
01:02:07He came in here and robbed the safe.
01:02:09Got the drop on me, and, uh...
01:02:11Can you use this man, Sheriff?
01:02:12I sure can.
01:02:18So you're the tough guy, eh?
01:02:21Here's our money, Mr. Hepburn.
01:02:26I have something for you, too, Ann.
01:02:51I dropped my compact.
01:02:53So you did.
01:02:55Why don't you go ahead and pick it up?
01:02:59What do you think?
