00:00Home, take me home to the land of the Pecos.
00:07Near that stream, let me dream, meet the sky.
00:15This old heart keeps on beatin', repeatin' on echoes
00:22Of the brave and the bold ridin' high.
00:52Here.
01:08See why I like to have a ranch house right here?
01:12I see. It's very beautiful, Jeff.
01:15But why tell me about it?
01:17Oh, I don't know. I just felt like telling somebody, I guess.
01:22Look at that view. The road and everything.
01:28Look how easy it is to see that wagon coming along.
01:36Hey, letty, look. Something's wrong.
01:41It's a hole in the wall.
01:52Look.
01:53Look.
02:21What do you fellas want?
02:23The box you picked up at the railroad.
02:25All right, you can have it.
02:27I don't aim to get filled full of lead for any box I'm carrying.
02:46Hey, am I glad to see you folks.
02:48Slondock, are you all right?
02:50I am now.
02:51Did you get away with anything?
02:53Nope. It was after a box I picked up at the railroad. Still here.
02:56It was that shootin' that made him skedaddle.
02:58I never seen such shootin' from the back of a movin' horse.
03:01You'll have to thank Letty for that.
03:03She handles a gun like a man.
03:05Handles a gun like a man.
03:07Can't you think of me as a woman just once?
03:10You're mighty touchy all of a sudden about being ladylike.
03:13Slondock, we'll ride along with you in case those umbrellas try to jump you again.
03:17I'll appreciate it.
03:19Get up.
03:22Out! Go!
03:33How do you do, Mr. Carlson?
03:35Hi, Judge.
03:37Well, I guess I'll be pulling out pretty soon, so if you don't mind, I'll take my sample case now.
03:40Oh, yeah, I'll get it for you.
03:52Ain't often this old safe holds down knowledge worth jewelry.
03:55Much obliged to you for keeping it, Judge.
03:57Wish it could be this safe all the time.
03:59Can't say I blame you.
04:01Being a jewelry salesman in this part of the country must be a pretty risky business.
04:04There's always someone trying to knock you over.
04:06Where you going when you leave this part of the country?
04:08I'm heading north for Salt Lake City.
04:10Then I'm gonna catch the southern Pacific for the coast.
04:15Hello.
04:17Howdy. Anything I can do for you?
04:19Yes, there is.
04:21This is the railroad detective. I'm looking for Mr. Carlson.
04:23I'm Carlson.
04:25We shipped a box to you from the railhead this morning. Did it get here?
04:27No, not yet.
04:29Any more jewelry?
04:31$5,000 worth. It's a special consignment shipped to a firm in San Francisco that I'm delivering.
04:35You worried about it, Mr. Brady?
04:37A little. We've had several holdups lately.
04:39That's funny. I haven't heard about any holdups.
04:41I've heard about them. I want to see the shipment get through.
04:44I think I hear them coming now.
04:58Here it is. Brought it through.
05:00Yeah, I knew you would, Bondi.
05:02If it hadn't been for Jeff and Lettie, I'd have never made it.
05:04That's right, Uncle Roy.
05:06A couple of masked men held me up. Jeff and Lettie ran them off.
05:09Oh, where'd they stop you?
05:11Other side of Bascom's Rock.
05:13Here, check what's inside and sign for it.
05:15No more of these tips for me. Too risky.
05:17All right, let's get in and take it, boys.
05:19What happened here?
05:21I don't know.
05:23I don't know.
05:25I don't know.
05:27I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:31I don't know.
05:38You better check it right away.
05:40Get me that little pry bar, Jeff.
05:42There's no need to open it now. I can look at it later.
05:44Klondike wants you to sign for it now.
05:54Kind of pretty, isn't it?
05:56Pretty? That's the prettiest sight I ever saw.
05:58Well, I guess I'd better go out and sign a receipt for the Teamster.
06:02Don't seem to be there, Mr. Carlson.
06:07That seem all right.
06:09Excuse me a moment, will you?
06:20Where's that receipt?
06:22Here it is.
06:29There you are.
06:31Thanks.
06:37Get up out of here!
06:50What happened to the holdup?
06:52How can I collect from the insurance company for a robbery that never happened?
06:55Take it easy. We'll stage another holdup.
06:57Sure. You had that Teamster say he wouldn't make the trip again.
07:00I've got to have an honest witness to make that story stick with the insurance company.
07:04We'll work it out.
07:06Of course, another holdup is going to mean more trouble.
07:08We should get to keep more than a third of the jewels for our part in the deal.
07:12All right. Make it half.
07:14Say, you're okay, Carlson. Reasonable.
07:17We'll keep our half and deliver the other half to you and Carson Bend, right?
07:21Yeah, that's right.
07:23Now, you better get out of town before that judge finds out about you.
07:25Oh, he's not that smart.
07:27Say, how about that girl for your witness?
07:30The girl?
07:32Yeah, the one in the store. She almost went crazy when she saw those jewels.
07:34If you could get her to take a ride with you...
07:38Say, that's not a bad idea.
07:40You know, I might try that.
07:42Go to work on her.
07:54Pretty, isn't it?
07:56Oh...
07:58Yeah, don't do that.
08:00Try it on.
08:02I really shouldn't.
08:04I'd love to.
08:06How do you like that?
08:08Oh...
08:10I'd love to try it on.
08:12I'd love to try it on.
08:14Oh...
08:16I'd love to try it on.
08:18Oh...
08:20I'd love to try it on.
08:22I'd love to try it on.
08:24Oh...
08:26Try this on.
08:30Beautiful.
08:32There. Now, how's that?
08:34Oh, lovely. Just lovely.
08:36You know what's going on in there?
08:38Customer come in?
08:40That salesman. He's sweet-talking Lettie, and she's listening.
08:42Oh, nothing to that. Jewelry.
08:44Women just like pretty things, that's all.
08:46Yeah, but she's sopping it up like gravy.
08:48She...
08:50Just a second.
08:55And how do you like this one?
08:57Oh, they're gorgeous.
09:00Everything's gorgeous.
09:02You know, you should be wearing things like this all the time.
09:05Wouldn't I love to?
09:08A beautiful lady like you is completely lost in a place like this.
09:12Didn't anyone ever tell you that?
09:14No.
09:16All they ever tell me is how well I can ride.
09:19Or shoot.
09:21That's because they don't appreciate a lovely little lady like you.
09:25Oh, I guess they don't.
09:28You know, you should be in a big city.
09:30Women nowadays, you know, are doing much more than just sewing and cooking.
09:36You know, you should come to San Francisco with me.
09:38Work in my office.
09:40It would open up a whole new world for you.
09:45Guess it would, wouldn't it?
09:46You know what that fellow just said to Lettie?
09:48We're sure living in a marvelous age.
09:50I'm peeling them apples for a pie for supper tonight.
09:52What you gonna do with that one?
09:54Peel it.
09:56He wants her to go away with him
09:58before she can work for San Francisco.
10:00What did Lettie say?
10:02Stood there like a calf without his mother.
10:04Now, don't put him in the sink. Lettie don't like it.
10:06What are you gonna do about this?
10:08She's your niece.
10:10I'm just right for a pie.
10:12I think I'll just run that jeweler right out of town.
10:14Now, take it easy.
10:16I'll have to have a talk with Lettie.
10:29You stupid fools, what happened with that holder?
10:32Somebody else horned in before we could go through with it.
10:34A man and a girl, so you had to turn to run?
10:36It was either run or get shot.
10:38Well, we've got to do it over again.
10:40Yes, I figured we would.
10:41It'll be Carlson and a girl heading north.
10:43What girl?
10:45The judge's niece.
10:47Well, she's the one that did the shooting the last time.
10:49Well, she won't be doing it this time, so stop worrying.
10:51Well, I don't like it.
10:53We're working too close to Langtree.
10:55The judge is smart and that deputy of his is dynamite with a gun.
10:57I don't like it.
10:59Well, don't worry about the judge and his deputy.
11:01I'll handle them if anything goes wrong.
11:03And besides, we're getting half of the jewels
11:05instead of only a third of them.
11:07I figure we should get all of it.
11:09Huh?
11:11Say, that's not a bad idea.
11:18Letty, can I talk to you?
11:20In the kitchen.
11:29What about you and this man Carlson?
11:31Jeff's telling me he's trying to get you to leave Langtree.
11:34I think Jeff should mind his own business.
11:36Now, let's talk about Carlson.
11:38Is he trying to get you to go away?
11:39Well...
11:41Yes, Uncle Roy.
11:43He wants me to go and work in his office in San Francisco.
11:45How do you feel about that?
11:47I don't know.
11:49It sounds kind of good.
11:51After all,
11:53there isn't too much of a future for a girl here.
11:56We'd sure hate to lose you, honey.
11:59You better give it a lot of thought.
12:03I just peeled some apples for a pie.
12:05I'd sure like to have it for supper.
12:06Guess I'd better get to work then.
12:18Is Letty coming back?
12:20You mean Miss Bean?
12:22Yeah, sure.
12:24She'll be back when she gets here.
12:26Okay, I'll wait.
12:28I wouldn't if I were you.
12:30No, why not?
12:32You've been putting a lot of ideas in her head lately
12:34that don't belong there.
12:36You better stop as of now.
12:39You know, I don't think she'd agree with you.
12:41You just tell her I'll be back later.
13:00Where have you been?
13:02Out getting the boys set.
13:04Well, it might be a waste of time. The girl hasn't set...
13:07I'll see you later.
13:09Right.
13:18I'm leaving town in the morning.
13:20I want you to drive me.
13:22Like I said before, mister, no more trips for a while.
13:24And I said I wanted you to drive me.
13:26And I said no more...
13:29You're going to drive me around.
13:31Let go of me!
13:33Are you going to drive me around?
13:37You all right?
13:39He didn't hurt me. I'm fine.
13:41You know, I feel pretty good myself right now.
13:44Come on, Klondike.
13:56You better forget about Klondike
13:58and concentrate on the girl.
14:07Good dinner, Letty.
14:09I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jeff.
14:11The pie was great.
14:13Did Uncle Roy have a second piece?
14:15He's eating it now.
14:17What happened to your jeweler friend?
14:19He's still around the settlement.
14:21He offered you a job in the big city, didn't he?
14:24Anything wrong with that?
14:26You're just not qualified.
14:28What do you mean?
14:30Getting to be a secretary takes learning.
14:32Don't you think I can learn?
14:33You're just a big tomboy.
14:35And I suppose you're a big man of the world
14:37with hay in your hair.
14:39Well, I'm not letting some slicker
14:41fill me full of hot air about the big city.
14:43Maybe I liked what he said.
14:45Why don't you take him up on it then?
14:47Why don't you go to the big city?
14:49I may do just that.
14:51Well, go ahead.
14:53I guess we can get along without you.
14:55I dare you.
14:57You take that back, Jeff Taggart.
14:59I said it and I meant it.
15:01I dare you.
15:03You're just a big tomboy.
15:05And I suppose you're a big man of the world
15:07with hay in your hair.
15:09Well, I'm not letting some slicker
15:12fill me full of hot air about the big city.
15:14Maybe I liked what he said.
15:17You can't press the record button.
15:19I'm sorry, Kelly.
15:21I'll never dare again.
15:23But you can always go back.
15:25Back where you left off.
15:27What else?
15:29You're old.
15:31Just go back.
15:33♪♪
16:02You take him up on it, then. Why don't you go to the big city?
16:05I may do just that.
16:06Well, go on ahead. I guess we can get along without you.
16:09I dare you.
16:11You take that back, Jeff Taggert.
16:13I said it and I meant it. I dare you. I dare you.
16:25Oh, morning, Judge.
16:26Morning, Mr. Brady. Anything I can get you?
16:28Not this time.
16:30Well, sit down.
16:31Thanks. Carlson been around?
16:34I heard a wagon pull out about sun-up. I think he's gone.
16:37I'm sorry. I was hoping he'd stay here a while longer.
16:41Why?
16:42Those hold-up men. They'll probably make another try at getting that shipment of jewelry.
16:46Won't do them much good.
16:48What do you mean by that, Judge?
16:49I'm afraid Mr. Carlson isn't quite on the square.
16:52Why do you say that?
16:54Because of the way he acted.
16:56He kept his sample case in that safe.
16:58And he worried about it all the time.
17:01Well, nothing wrong with that, is there?
17:03No, not at all.
17:05But he got real careless after that big shipment came in.
17:08Didn't watch it. Didn't care what happened to it.
17:10You want to know why, Mr. Brady?
17:13Yeah. Why?
17:15Because that big shipment was made up of fake jewelry.
17:19Fake?
17:21Are you sure?
17:23You bet I'm sure.
17:25Come here and I'll show you.
17:30He got so careless, he left these behind.
17:33Hand me that hammer.
17:37Now, if those are real stones, they're genuine,
17:40a little tap of this hammer won't bother him.
17:43But if they're not...
17:46Paste.
17:48Yeah, they're fake, all of them.
17:50I'm afraid our friend Mr. Carlson's out to double-cross somebody.
17:53Yeah, and I think I know who.
17:55You want Jeff to bring him in for questioning?
17:57No. That's my job.
18:00I'll take care of Carlson.
18:23Come on.
18:45He dared me to go with Mr. Carlson, so I've gone.
18:48Letty.
18:49Judge!
18:51She left with the jeweler.
18:53She left this. It's all my fault.
18:55Your fault?
18:56Yeah, I made fun of her last night.
18:58I'm going after her.
18:59We'll both go.
19:01Let's go.
19:21What's the matter?
19:23Well, I'm afraid I've made a bad mistake.
19:26I'd like to turn around and go back.
19:28I can't do that. I have a work schedule to keep.
19:31But please, I don't want to go to San Francisco.
19:34All right, all right.
19:35The first stop we come to, I'll arrange your return on the stagecoach.
19:38Now, how's that?
19:39All right.
19:42Come on.
19:59I'll take that box you're carrying with you.
20:04There's nothing but fake jewelry in that box.
20:06Mr. Brainy!
20:07You thought you were going to make fools out of us, didn't you?
20:09But there's real stuff in that sample case of yours.
20:11Hand it over, Carlson.
20:13Yeah, sure.
20:23I'll take it.
20:28Get his sample case, Trigo.
20:31All right, just a minute.
20:35You should have stayed out of this, Miss Bean.
20:37You're nothing but a thief and a killer.
20:39Well, I guess we'll have to do something about you.
20:42Trigo, you drive the buckboard and follow me.
20:45You got it.
21:15You got it.
21:46Now what?
21:47Hey, keep the rig here and take the girl out in the desert and leave her there.
21:50No, you wouldn't do that.
21:51Shut up.
21:53That's pretty rough, Brady.
21:54Can you think of something better?
21:56She wanders around out there and gets lost.
21:58Whose fault's that?
22:00Well, look, Brady, after all, I mean...
22:02Hey, look.
22:15Hey, take care of the girl.
22:30It's not gonna be easy.
22:32Not with Letty down there.
22:34Hey, Jim.
22:36Remember that trick we played on Prescott?
22:38I get it.
22:46Come on.
23:07Go!
23:15Go!
23:45Keep your eye on him.
23:52You men down there!
23:54This is Judge Bean.
23:56Go on back to your store, Judge.
23:59Calling this court into session here and now.
24:02You're charged with robbery, kidnapping, and murder.
24:06How do you plead?
24:11You're wasting your time, Judge.
24:13You can't do nothing to us unless you got us under arrest.
24:16Drop those guns.
24:17Don't turn around.
24:19You're under arrest right now.
24:26Well, Letty, you ready to go home?
24:28Oh, I sure am.
24:29Climb up, then.
24:31Maybe you better give her a hand, Jeff.
24:33Give her a hand.
24:35Madam, your carriage is ready.
24:37Why, thank you, sir.
24:43Come on.
24:49All right, you homers.
24:50Get headed back toward Langtree.
25:00That boy's got a lot to learn about courting.
25:03Courting.
25:07Court's adjourned.
25:13THE END
