Short filmTranscript
00:00This is the range country, where the pounding hooves of untamed horses still thunder over
00:08mountains, meadows, and canyons.
00:11Every herd has its own leader, but there is only one fury, fury, king of the wild stallions.
00:18And here in the wild west of today, hard riding men still battle the open range for a living.
00:23Men like Jim Newton, owner of the Broken Wheel Ranch, and Pete, his top hand who says he
00:28cut his teeth on a branding iron.
00:30Fury!
00:31Fury!
00:32Why all this fury is, that's the one human voice he's learned to love and obey, the voice
00:45of the boy who once saved his life, Jim Newton's boy, Joey.
00:55Here's a mutual trust and affection that everyone can understand, especially a woman like Helen
01:12Watkins, Joey's school teacher and unfailing champion.
01:17Now kneel down and let me get on you.
01:25And there they are together, a great wild horse and the only person on earth who can
01:30ride him, Joey and Fury.
01:46Come on.
02:14What happened?
02:15The whole god darn mind fell in on me.
02:18She's a hoodoo, that's what she is.
02:20Just one accident after another.
02:22Oh, my leg.
02:25It feels like she's busted.
02:26Let's have a look at it.
02:28We should have set off that blast.
02:29The walls just couldn't take it.
02:30We're lucky to be alive.
02:32Golly, the whole place caved in.
02:34Well, not quite, son, but it might as well have.
02:37Hank, you're finished for sure this time.
02:38I told you there wasn't any tungsten in that mine to begin with, but you wouldn't listen
02:41to me.
02:42Well, then shut it down, board up the entrance.
02:44The tungsten queens and jinx.
02:47I never want to see it again.
02:49Take it easy, Hank.
02:50You should have taken it easy after that first accident we had a couple of months ago.
02:54At least you have a few dollars left.
02:56You know it got so every time we turned around in that mine something had happened.
02:58Now, let's not worry about that now.
03:00Hank, your leg's broken all right.
03:02We'll get you down to the ranch and call the doctor.
03:04Use the pickup.
03:05We'll come down for it after we board up this shaft.
03:07All right.
03:08Get a plank to carry Hank on.
03:10Put some blankets in the pickup, will you?
03:18How about your back pain, Mailer?
03:19I'll see if the bank will...
03:20You just take care of yourself, Hank.
03:21Get back on your feet.
03:45I got to hand it to you, Mailer.
03:47You timed that blast just right to get rid of Hank and us once and for all.
03:50Yeah, but I was a little heavy on that blasting powder.
03:53Almost got both of us.
03:54Well, it didn't.
03:56And the firm of Mailer and Millard got themselves a mountain full of high-grade tungsten ore.
04:00And that one blast shook enough ore loose to make us both rich.
04:04Well, let's board up that entrance.
04:06Then we'll get that truckload of equipment and move it in tonight.
04:10But if we board up the entrance, how do we get the equipment in?
04:13That old abandoned tunnel on the other side of the hill.
04:16Big enough to hide the truck and everything.
04:18Man, you think of everything.
04:22But what happens if Hank Enos catches us working his claim?
04:25Well, he won't.
04:26He's got a gun.
04:27He's got a gun.
04:28He's got a gun.
04:29He's got a gun.

05:03He's got a gun.
05:04He's got a gun.
05:05This confounded game.
05:12Jim! Jim!
05:14What is it, Pete?
05:15Them horses we moved in from the range this morning.
05:17They're acting mighty peculiar.
05:19Look at them.
05:25And that mare we put in the barn.
05:26It's the same way.
05:28Only worse.
05:29Get Doc Taylor on the phone and ask him to come out as soon as he can, will you?
05:32Yeah.
05:35Hmm.
05:52Beats me.
05:53Half your stock's sick in a way I've never seen before.
05:56There's something contagious, Doc?
05:58No, it seems more like poisoning.
06:00Maybe it's local weed.
06:01I don't think so.
06:03What have you been feeding them?
06:05Nothing as yet.
06:06We just brought them in this morning.
06:07Well, what about their water?
06:09Let's see.
06:10They were grazing by the stream up the north pasture.
06:13They probably drank out of that.
06:15Ever have any trouble with that water before?
06:17No.
06:18It's a little muddy during the rainy season, but otherwise it's mountain spring water.
06:22Well, I better get some samples of it and have it analyzed.
06:25How long will it be before you know?
06:27Oh, about a week.
06:28I have to send it to a lab in the city, Jim.
06:30Meanwhile, you keep your stock away from that stream.
06:32Make sure of that, Pete.
06:33You betcha.
06:34I'll ride up there with you.
07:33Pete!
07:34Pete!
07:35Pete!
07:36Pete!
07:37Pete!
07:38Pete!
07:39Pete!
07:40Pete!
07:41Pete!
07:42Pete!
07:43Pete!
07:44Pete!
07:45Pete!
07:46Pete!
07:47Pete!
07:48Pete!
07:49Pete!
07:50Pete!
07:51Pete!
07:52Pete!
07:53Pete!
07:54Pete!
07:55Pete!
07:56Pete!
07:57Pete!
07:58Pete!
07:59Pete!
08:00Pete!
08:02Clumsy idiot.
08:03How many times have I told you to be careful with that acid?
08:06I'm sorry.
08:07Those drums are getting me down.
08:08Just look at that vat support.
08:10If this vat toppled over and the acid hit the beam supports, the whole roof would cave in on us in no time.
08:14Now flush this off with some water and try to be a little more careful.
08:17Haven't we got enough of that tungsten yet?
08:20How many sacks we got ready to go?
08:21We have 196.
08:23And four more, we'll be able to split an even $50,000.
08:25$50,000?
08:27That's right.
08:28And there's more where that came from.
08:29What are we waiting for?
08:30Let's get back to work.
08:51If I move there, I'll trap myself for sure.
08:57Ding, dang it, I'm cornered anyways.
09:01Howdy, Doc.
09:02Hi, Hank.
09:03Well, I see you got the cast off.
09:04How does it feel?
09:05Oh, might stiff.
09:06But it'll soon be as good as new.
09:08That's fine.
09:09Is Jim around?
09:10Nope.
09:11Him and Pete's up the north pasture.
09:12Oh, and I got the results back from the lab.
09:14Oh, yeah?
09:15What'd they say?
09:16There's enough lime chloride in that stream to make every animal on the range sick.
09:19Oh.
09:21Lime chloride, you say?
09:23And all the rest of the water around here is pure as a lily.
09:26What do you know about that?
09:29What do you know about that?
09:31Lime chloride.
09:33Where in tarnation you reckon a thing like that'd be coming from?
09:37There ain't nobody processing tungsten ore around here that I know of.
09:40Well, what do you mean?
09:42Well, when you break down tungsten ore, you wash it in acid.
09:45And the runoff is lime chloride.
09:48Is that what you were doing up the Tungsten Queen?
09:51Never struck a vein rich enough to process.
09:55How about Jim's horses?
09:56Oh, they'll be up and about in a day or two.
09:58Gonna be all right, though, huh?
09:59Yeah, now that I know what's wrong, I can fix them up.
10:01Well, Jim will be glad to hear that.
10:03I'd better ride out and tell him.
10:04So long, Hank.
10:05So long, Doc.
10:09Lime chloride.
10:13Ain't no place for it to come from around here except in the Queen.
10:17That impossible.
10:19Huh? Beats me.
10:21I'd better have a look up there.
10:51Come on.
11:21There is something going on in there.
11:51Come on.
12:21All right.
12:51Come on.
13:22Come on.
13:30You seaman varmint!
13:31You know there was tungsten in this old tunnel all the time.
13:34Why, I ought to...
13:36You got us all wrong, Hank.
13:38We're just working this mine for you.
13:40We want it to be sort of a... well, sort of a surprise.
13:43Ha! You expect me to believe that?
13:45Why, you...
13:46Oh, come on. Take it easy, Hank.
13:48Take a look down that tunnel.
13:49You'll see a whole truckload of pure tungsten.
13:52We were just going to drive over the ranch and show it to you.
13:54A truckload?
13:55That's right.
13:56Well, that'd be a fortune.
14:00That's right, Hank.
14:01It'd make a fortune.
14:03But not for you.
14:04You dumb, darn, dirty bum!
14:12Wait a minute.
14:19Slide that trough through to me.
14:49It won't take long for that stuff to eat through a couple of beans,
14:52and the whole place will cave in.
14:54It looks just like another accident.
14:56You know, Hank, you're right about this mine.
14:58It is a jinx.
14:59For you.
15:01What are you doing?
15:02Oh!
15:31Jim, they've gone to the tungsten queen, Hank.
15:35Fury!
15:37Hank went to the mine.
15:39Went what for?
15:41Gosh, he might get hurt again.
15:42We'd better go after him.
16:00Come on.
16:31Come on!
16:32Come on!
16:45Come on!
16:50Tie this down. Hurry up.
17:01Come on!
17:08Hey, what are we stopping for?
17:10We're going to play it safe and wait here for the cave-in.
17:31Come on.
17:41Hank must have gone in there.
17:43You stay here, Fury. I'm going to take a look.
18:01Gosh, what was that?
18:05Well, that's that.
18:07Wait a minute.
18:08That didn't sound like a big cave-in to me.
18:10Big enough for Hank Enos.
18:12If he comes out of there alive, you know what happens to us.
18:14All right, all right.
18:15So what do you want me to do about it?
18:17Wait here till those acid fumes settle,
18:19then go back in there and make sure.
18:22All right.
18:24Strenus!
18:26Strenus!
18:27Strenus!
18:29Strenus!
18:40Strenus!
18:43Strenus!
18:48Strenus!
18:58Strenus!
19:00Strenus!
19:08Okay, but I got to get you some way.
19:21Strenus!
19:23Strenus!
19:25Strenus!
19:28Those two horned toads nearer my line, they almost got me.
19:31Don't worry, Mr. Enos. I'll get you out.
19:34Here, I'll help you up.
19:37I can't get up.
19:38That darn beam is on my leg.
19:40Listen, I can push it up.
19:42Come on.
19:46Joy, it ain't no use.
19:48You better get out of here before the whole shebang falls in.
19:52I'll get Fury. He'll help you out.
19:57Come on.
20:14Come on, Fury.
20:24You might want to be safe enough to go in there now.
20:27Come on.
20:43Hey, Pete.
20:44Yeah?
20:46Looks like Hank was more concerned about that lime chloride than he let on.
20:49He's gone up to the mine to take a look.
20:51Don't you reckon we better go up there and take a look-see ourselves?
20:54We sure do.
20:58Come on.
21:09Hurry, Joy. The acid's spreading fast.
21:11Don't worry, Mr. Enos. We'll get you out.
21:14Come on, Fury. Hurry. Push us off.
21:21Push, Fury. Push.
21:27Come on.
21:36Gosh, that was a close one.
21:39Hey, that kid's in there with his horse.
21:41We've got to get out of here fast. We want to get home to the sheriff.
21:44You ain't going anywhere.
21:45You get the kid. I'll take Hank.
21:46Go get him, Fury. Hold on.
21:57Come on.
22:13Get Fury to push him back so we can get out of here.
22:15This old tunnel's going to cave in any minute.
22:17Push him back, Fury. Soon we'll get out.
22:19Get out!
22:50Come on, Fury. Don't let him get away.
22:55Jim, down there. Fury's got the men down there.
22:57At the end of the tunnel, Jim.
23:04Hang on, Fury.
23:20Fury!
23:38Well, Hank.
23:39Now, if the Tungsten Queens turned out to be a bonanza,
23:42I guess you'll just sit back and take it easy, huh?
23:44You're darn tootin', Jim.
23:46But first, I've got to figure out a way to show my appreciation to Joe and Fury.
23:49Because if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here.
23:52Oh, we don't want anything, Mr. Enos.
23:54Do we, Fury?
23:59Well, just the same.
24:00When I sell this load of tungsten,
24:02there's going to be a nice little nest egg right in the back
24:04until it's time for you to go to college.
24:06Gee!
24:07Oh, Hank, you don't have to do anything like that.
24:09Don't you try to tell me how to spend my money, Jim Newton.
24:12What's the good of money anyways if you can't help your friends?
24:15Ha!
24:16Sucks!
24:17Money ain't no expense.
