Short filmTranscript
01:00I guess you don't remember me.
01:23Can't say I do, yet there's something mighty familiar about you.
01:27Well, Jake, I guess it's a long time since you taught me how to trap coyotes and ride
01:31broncs.
01:32Jerry Mason, as I live!
01:34Well, well, man, how you've grown.
01:37Why, I say, you're a regular mountain, ain't you?
01:39Sit down here and let's talk it over.
01:42Well, there's not much to tell, Jake.
01:45Finished college and true to your dad's last request, you've come to live with me, huh?
01:50That's right.
01:51I can't tell you how happy I am to see you.
01:53Well, I'm happy to be here, too, Jake.
01:56How about the ranch?
01:57The cattle?
01:58There ain't no cattle, son.
02:01Rustler's got most of them, and I sold what was left.
02:04Well, can we stock it up again, or startin' some other business?
02:08It's when you get to work, huh?
02:11Well, I was figuring on opening up the blacksmith shop, but...
02:16What do you say we go in and fry us a chicken and gargle some coffee?
02:21What do you say, huh?
02:22Sounds like a good idea, especially that chicken!
02:26Ha, ha!
02:36Well, no wonder this horse was limping.
02:56Well, got him fixed up?
03:07Yep.
03:08Horse picked up a sharp rock.
03:10No, no.
03:11There ain't no charge.
03:12Looks like you've been through plenty of water.
03:14Oh, yeah.
03:15I tried a short cut about 12 miles back down there and got stuck.
03:18Oh.
03:19It come right down through the middle of the creek.
03:20Hmm.
03:21Hmm.
03:22That's where he went lame.
03:23Well, good luck to you.
03:25Thanks.
03:39Hey, Jake!
03:42I just picked this up at the post office.
03:45I bet I know who it's from.
03:48I was right.
03:50It's from Betty.
03:51Ha, ha!
03:55Well, I was right.
03:57It's from Betty.
03:58Betty?
03:59Yeah, my granddaughter.
04:00Didn't you know I had a granddaughter?
04:02I certainly did not.
04:04Yes, siree.
04:05I'm her only living relative.
04:07I've been sending her to college for a couple of years.
04:10But she'll soon be here to live with me.
04:12Let's see what she's got to say.
04:14Dear Grendy, I just received my monthly check.
04:19And thank you so much.
04:21I can't wait until school is over, so I can come and live with you.
04:26Gee, just three months more, and I'll be keeping house for you.
04:31I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm going to have to give that to you in court.
04:36I hope I'm not the only man in the world that needs you.
04:40Yes, three months more, and I'll be keeping house for you.
04:44Please write me a nice, long letter.
04:48I do so enjoy hearing from you.
04:51Lovingly, Betty.
04:53Heh.
04:54She's a fine girl, Jerry.
04:57And I'm going to do everything I can to make her happy.
05:05Well, hello, Freddy.
05:06Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.
05:09She's a town dog. Everybody feeds her.
05:13Heh, heh, heh.
05:27Oh, so you want to play, eh?
05:32Say, Jay, take a look.
05:34That's that piece of quartz that came out of the horse's hoof.
05:37It's gold.
05:40Say, there's a stringer in there bigger than a ten-penny nail.
05:44We only knew where it came from.
05:45I do know.
05:47That prospector said he was forced down the middle of a creek 12 miles out.
05:51Well, there's only one creek out there, Jerry, and it'll be a cinch to backtrack it.
05:55Well, we're on our way right now, and if we find anything,
05:58I know a dog that's going to have a quarter-hour steak and a home for life.
06:02You said it.
06:09Right there's where he left the creek.
06:39Wait a minute. Look at that.
07:07Say, that's the real stuff, son.
07:10According to this sand, the creek's full of color.
07:28Hello.
07:29Hello, Benson. What can I do for you?
07:31In the first place, you fellas buy gold?
07:33Certainly. That's part of our business.
07:35Well, weigh this up, and let's see what we got.
07:42Say, that's the purest stuff.
07:46As good as I've ever seen.
07:52There's made a great strike somewhere.
08:05Let's see.
08:07At $16 an ounce,
08:11that'll come to $848.
08:15Okay. We'll take that in currency if it's just the same to you.
08:19Okay. All right, Joe.
08:22Now, listen.
08:24We expect to bring in many times that amount.
08:26We think we've got a rich strike.
08:28We'll take it.
08:30Now, listen.
08:32We expect to bring in many times that amount.
08:34We think we've got a rich strike.
08:36But we don't want anybody to know anything about it.
08:38But you'll tell us, won't you?
08:40We're not telling anybody, Harris.
08:42But when we do get ready to let the location be known,
08:44you'll be the first ones in on it.
08:46Fine. Come on, Jake.
08:48We gotta go buy a dog a porterhouse dig.
08:53They've made a rich strike, and it's up to us to locate it.
08:56I wouldn't mind having old man Benson's ranch, either.
09:00He used to run cattle.
09:04Of course, he doesn't know it, but I got most of them.
09:26You know, Jake, it's a good thing we didn't file on that claim.
09:30It'd have tipped the whole town off to the location
09:32and confined our operation.
09:34As it is, we can work the whole creek.
09:36Yeah.
09:38Your idea of crossing windy flats
09:40and entering the town from the other side
09:42sure had them puzzled.
09:44It sure has.
09:46They've been back-trailing us now for two months,
09:48and they always get to the point.
09:50I'm sure they'll get to the point.
09:52I'm sure they'll get to the point.
09:54They've been back-trailing us for two months,
09:56and they always get stuck at windy flats.
09:58They think this mine's out in the middle of the desert.
10:00Why don't we take a little rest, huh?
10:04Just a few more days, and Betty'll be coming.
10:09Well, don't you think we'd better be getting back
10:11and getting some of this dirt out of our hide?
10:13Yeah, I reckon you're right.
10:15You know, you want to sure look your best.
10:24All right, Pete.
10:26Well, well.
10:28Hello, Hank.
10:30How's your old woman?
10:32All right, boys.
10:34No pay dirt this time.
10:36Oh, come on.
10:40Hey, wait a minute.
10:42Wait a minute.
10:44I tell you, we didn't get a bit of color.
10:46No?
10:48No.
10:50No.
10:53We didn't get a bit of color.
10:55No?
10:57You've gone all this time and not a bit of color?
10:59Now, wait a minute.
11:01Tell you what I'll do.
11:03I'll give you every nugget you find in the pack.
11:05Yeah.
11:07Go on ahead and search it.
11:13Here comes old Benson now, and Mason isn't with him.
11:15Good.
11:17Are the papers all ready?
11:19Everything.
11:23Hello, Jake.
11:25Well, what luck this time.
11:27Not so bad.
11:29Not so bad.
11:53Let's see.
11:55It's $16 an ounce.
11:57That's $2,335.
11:59How do you have it?
12:01In coin or bill?
12:03Well, bill is easier to carry.
12:05All right, Joe.
12:07Sit down, Jake.
12:09I've got to have your signature this time, Jake.
12:11The government demands that I get a receipt
12:13for all monies paid out for raw gold.
12:15Sure.
12:19Well, Joe.
12:21Stamp the date on that, will you?
12:23Sure.
12:25I've got to have your signature this time, Jake.
12:27The government demands that I get a receipt
12:29for all monies paid out for raw gold.
12:31Sure.
12:35Well, Joe.
12:37Stamp the date on that, will you?
13:25There you are.
13:27And here's your money.
13:29Thanks. Give me my canteen, will you?
13:31I'll be seeing you fellas again
13:33mighty soon.
13:35Goodbye.
13:41Well,
13:43we got the date of the ranch
13:45and when he eventually disappears
13:47we'll have this recorded.
13:49Let's see what we made on the nuggets.
13:55Well, how much we get this time?
13:57$2,335.
13:59Whoo!
14:01I'm going to hold out $500 of that
14:03and pay on this blacksmith shop tomorrow.
14:07You know, Jerry,
14:09I got an idea this is going to be
14:11a valuable corner someday
14:13and we ain't going to let go of it.
14:17I think it's a good investment, Jake.
14:25Hello, Dad.
14:27Say, you got a couple bucks you can spare?
14:30Gambling again, eh?
14:32Well, that's about all there is to do around this town.
14:34Gee, I wish I had a job.
14:36Throw the line
14:38and remember
14:40you can't keep this up forever.
14:42There's an end to everything.
14:44You can't keep this up forever.
14:46There's an end to everything.
14:58Hey, Al.
15:00Come here a minute.
15:02If you don't kick through with that dough you owe me
15:04I'm telling the town everything.
15:06That'll just about throw your old man out of office.
15:08Where am I going to get it?
15:10That's not up to me.
15:12I don't care where you get it, but get it.
15:42Is Mr. Williams in?
15:44Yes, Jake. You'll find him in his office.
15:46Thanks.
15:49Come in.
15:55Hi, Mr. Williams.
15:57Hi, Jake. I'm glad to see you.
15:59I want to pay off my debt on that blacksmith shop.
16:01Oh, it's fine.
16:03Sit down.
16:05Thanks.
16:12I'll give you a receipt for your money.
16:14You'll put it in there.
16:16Scroll.
16:18You'll get your deed in a few days.
16:42All right, Mr. Williams.
16:44How's the fame coming?
16:46Oh, still coughing up a few colors.
16:48Won't be working it again the next spring, though.
16:58Howdy, sir.
17:00Hello.
17:02Hello.
17:33You'd better send for the doctor, Sheriff.
17:41It's too late.
17:43You killed him, Jake.
17:46I killed him?
17:48You're not trying to deny it, are you?
17:50Didn't I hear you fighting?
17:52You were the only one in here, Mr. Benson.
18:03Somebody must have come in through the back door.
18:05That's the only way it could have happened.
18:07Don't worry, old-timer.
18:09I'll have you out of here in no time.
18:33This is Mr. Benson's ranch, isn't it?
18:35Why, yes.
18:37Are you Betty?
18:39And you're Jerry Mason.
18:41Well, why didn't you let us know you were coming today?
18:43Yeah, I wanted to surprise Sandy.
18:45Well, where is he?
18:47Oh, uh...
18:49Well, uh...
18:51You see, when he gets back, he'll be back.
18:53He'll be back.
18:55He'll be back.
18:57He'll be back.
18:59He'll be back.
19:01Well, uh...
19:03You see, when he gets out in the hills prospecting, why, uh...
19:05Well, it's pretty hard to tell when he is coming back.
19:07Oh.
19:09Won't you come in?
19:11Oh, gee.
19:13You don't know how glad I am to be here.
19:15But I just can't wait to see Granby.
19:17Well, I'm gonna ride out and see if I can locate him.
19:19Oh, I hope you find him.
19:21I'll just make yourself comfortable, Miss Betty.
19:23Well, thank you.
19:25And I'll have dinner ready for you when you come back.
19:27Well, that'll be great.
19:29Goodbye.
19:31Goodbye.
19:51Well, is there any news, Jerry?
19:53Nope.
19:55I'm just gonna give this bank the once-over.
19:57Well, uh, this may not mean anything,
19:59but, uh, Al, the sheriff's son,
20:01has been flashing a roll of bills.
20:03Now, I know he hasn't done anything to earn it.
20:05He just paid me for a horse or two.
20:07I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:09I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:11I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:13I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:15I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:17I'm sure he'll pay me back.
20:19He just paid me for a horse I sold him.
20:27Did Al Miller give you this money?
20:29He sure did.
20:39Where'd you get that money, Miller?
20:41Why, I don't think that's any of your business.
20:43Well, I'm making it my business,
20:45because that's part of the money Jake Benson paid the banker.
20:47Well, where did you get it?
20:49As I told you before, it's none of your business.
21:17Come on!
21:19Come on!

22:31Tell these boys where you got that money.
22:33None of your business.
22:35Oh, no?
22:37I did it! I did it!
22:39Let me go.
22:41You hear that, boys?
22:43Get your hands off me!
22:47Get down!
22:48Stand up!
22:49Why don't you stay by the top, big boy?
22:51Watch that one get away!
22:55Let him go!
22:57Get him!
22:58Get him!
23:09Get him!
23:11Get him, get him, get him!
23:13Get him, get him, get him!
23:15He's taking the whole...
23:27There you get it!
23:30He's got the best horse in the town!
23:41Get him, get him, get him!
24:11Get him, get him, get him!
24:41Get him, get him, get him!
25:06I tell you, Sheriff, Jake is innocent!
25:09Wait a minute, men.
25:11If what you say is true,
25:13and my boy is guilty of this crime,
25:15I'll see that he gets the full penalty of the law.
25:18So here comes Mason, now!
25:20Yeah, there he comes!
25:22Get him, get him, get him!
25:36Houghton Miller,
25:37I arrest you for attempted murder and robbery.
25:40And I'm going to do my duty
25:42in helping to exact the full penalty for your crime.
25:47I'm sorry, Sheriff, but it had to be your son.
25:52Get him, get him, get him!
26:19I'm sorry, Benson.
26:21That's all right.
26:26I know just how you feel.
26:29Here's the rest of the bank's money, Sheriff.
26:46Never keep me caged up in one of them things!
26:51Well...
26:53It's a mighty good thing you're out,
26:55because Betty's long waiting for you.
26:57Betty was jumping G-Hospital.
26:59Maybe you think I wasn't worried.
27:06Betty!
27:07Well, well, well, well.
27:12Never going to see you again.
27:14Not so, Michelle, for a while,
27:16but thanks to Jerry, here I am.
27:18You know, all ready for you.
27:20And I'm sure ready for dinner.
27:25Cranky, that's the best dinner I've had in years.
27:28And that goes for me, too.
27:30Well, I can see it isn't going to be very hard to please you, too.
27:33Well, son, we won't be working the mine again until next spring.
27:36You know, we can't afford to miss meals like this.
27:39I think I'll go out tomorrow and hide the sluice box.
27:42In fact, I'll stake out three claims along the creek,
27:45and you can file on them.
27:47Well, you know, better be on the safe side.
27:50And while you're gone, I'll take Betty around the ranch
27:53and shore the town and our blacksmiths.
27:55And you can figure on me being here for dinner.
27:57All right, Cranky.
28:01This town is located about six miles off that spur.
28:08Whoa!
28:09Hey, Mason, can I see you a minute?
28:12Pardon me a moment, Betty.
28:18You know, they're taking young Miller over to Cedar City.
28:22Is that so?
28:23Yeah, and I thought you might like to know
28:25that Banker William is going to pull through okay.
28:28Well, that is good news.
28:38Is Jake Benson around?
28:40Why, no.
28:41He went through his claim this morning.
28:43But he'll be back this afternoon.
28:45Oh.
28:47Thanks.
28:54Benson's out at his claim,
28:55and he won't be back till late this afternoon.
28:57This is just what we've been waiting for.
29:16Freddy?
29:18There's some nuggets that Jerry don't know nothing about.
29:22Ha!
29:23Won't he and Betty be surprised when they hear that?
29:26Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
29:32Come on, Freddy.
29:45Come on.
30:08Guess we got here just in time.
30:15Ha, ha!
30:25Drop your hands, Benson.
30:27We've decided it's about time you were tipping us off
30:29to this gold field of yours.
30:31Oh, so that's your game, eh?
30:33Well, Jerry and me found that gold field,
30:36and we ain't tipping it off to nobody.
30:38Ha, ha, ha, ha!
30:46Ha, ha, ha, ha!
30:52He's done for.
30:54Yeah.
30:55There's a canteen on that patch.
30:57Come on, we've got to catch that mule.
31:15Here's the canteen, sure enough.
31:45Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
32:09Get him, Bob!
32:10Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
32:32No use, Harrison.
32:33I can't get it.
32:34Well, come on.
32:35We've got to get out of here and get back to town.
32:37We can't afford to be seen here.
32:38Get your heart.
32:41Now, listen, Freddy.
32:43I want you to go get Jerry.
32:45You understand?
32:47Go.
32:48Go get Jerry.
32:49Go get him.
33:10Come on.
33:31It sure is.
33:32Here comes his pack.
33:41What do you suppose has happened?
33:43I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
33:51What's all the excitement about?
33:53Why, old Jake Forrest is a crack.
33:55Leave him alone.
33:56That's all he says.
33:58He says maybe we ought to organize a party.
34:01What?
34:02Yeah.
34:03He never did this before.
34:08Friday!
34:10Friday!
34:12Where's Jake?
34:19You better go back home and wait till you hear from me, Betty.
34:22All right, Jerry.
34:52Come on.
35:23What's the matter, old-timer?
35:25Are you all right?
35:26Oh, I'm only a little dizzy.
35:28I'm getting better every minute.
35:29They only nicked me.
35:30What are you talking about?
35:32Who nicked you?
35:33I'll tell you all about it on the way home.
35:35Come on.
35:48Remember now, son, not a word to Betty.
35:52Come on.
36:03What happened, Granby?
36:05Oh, you're hurt.
36:06Oh, King, nothing at all.
36:08Horse rode me and left square on my head.
36:10What I need is good feed.
36:12Oh, well, I'll run right uptown and get you something nice then.
36:15Well, don't tell anyone that your granddad is here.
36:18All right.
36:23Hey, son, open up that trunk and get out my makeup case, will you?
36:27Makeup case?
36:28Yeah.
36:31This?
36:32That's right.
36:35This here will stop it bleeding.
36:38What in the world's this?
36:40Oh, that's just a souvenir of my old theatrical days.
36:45I didn't know you were an actor, Jake.
36:47Yep.
36:48I wore that when I played in a show called Charlie's Ants.
36:51Yeah?
36:52Yeah.
36:54Well, what the heck is this?
36:56Son, that's the thing that helped make Anna Held and Lillian Russell famous.
37:01Oh, I see.
37:02Up here like this, eh?
37:03No.
37:05You darn yearling, you got it in the wrong spot.
37:19Hello, Mason.
37:21Has Benson come in yet?
37:23Not yet.
37:25If he doesn't get in by night, I'm going looking for him.
37:28I reckon he's horse-threwing.
37:30We just called to find out when we could take possession of this ranch.
37:34Take possession?
37:36I don't understand.
37:38Well, maybe Benson didn't tell you, but we bought this ranch a few days ago.
37:43That's strange.
37:44Funny he didn't tell me.
37:46You got a bill of sale?
37:48Why, certainly.
37:49It's the office.
37:51Well, then I'll have Jake drop in tomorrow, and he can advise you when he's getting out.
37:56That'll be fine.
37:57We're anxious to get started on the improvements on the place.
38:15Hey, what are they talking about?
38:17I ain't sold no ranch.
38:18Have you signed any papers lately, Jake?
38:20No.
38:21I don't think so.
38:22Wait a minute.
38:23Yes, I did.
38:24I signed a receipt for the money we got for them last nuggets.
38:27Well, did you look at it closely?
38:29No.
38:30Well, that's it, then.
38:31You probably signed a bill of sale for the ranch.
38:33That's why they were trying to get rid of you.
38:35They figured they could claim the ranch then, and nobody could deny it.
38:38Those dirty, low-down polecats.
38:41But we'll get them.
38:42You wait till my headache's better tomorrow.
38:44We'll give them the surprise of their life.
38:46Hey, but you better go file on them claims.
38:49Take that canteen of nuggets and leave it at the bank this time.
39:03Here's the location of them three claims.
39:05Now, there's one for Betty, one for you, and one for me.
39:08All right.
39:09You better lie down and get some sleep, Jake.
39:11Don't you forget yourself.
39:13Remember, I'm supposed to be dead.
39:15Oh, I ain't forgetting.
39:42There's Mason.
39:51Isn't that old Jake's canteen on the saddle?
39:54Let's go see.
40:11You must have taken it off the burrow before we got there.
40:41What have you got there, boys?
40:42Oh, hello, hello.
40:44Uh, you see, Sheriff, will you recognize this canteen?
40:48It belongs to old Jake Benson.
40:51Whenever Jake brought in his nuggets to us, unknown to anyone else,
40:54he brought them in this canteen.
40:56And we thought it was kind of funny that old Jake's disappeared
41:00and Mason should have this.
41:03Well, where is Mason?
41:04He went in the courthouse.
41:06Well, please go in there and see what Mason's doing.
41:09I reckon he can explain this.
41:12He better be able to.
41:30He's filing on a mining claim, Sheriff.
41:34Probably old Jake's claim.
41:37Well, we'll just wait till he gets here.
41:47Howdy, boys.
41:48What's all the powwow about?
41:51Just how did you come to have this canteen of nuggets?
41:54I don't care to answer that question, Sheriff.
41:58Whose claim were you just filing on, Mason?
42:01My own claim.
42:03Do you know anything about Jake Benson's disappearance?
42:05Yes, I know he hasn't come back.
42:08I'm sorry, Mason, but I'll have to hold you until we can locate Jake.
42:13Well, fair enough.
42:14When do I get my preliminary hearing?
42:17First thing tomorrow morning.
42:20You better take charge of those nuggets, Sheriff.
42:36Mason's over.
42:43What are they going to do to Mason?
42:45They think he killed old Jake.
42:46They do?
42:48What's happened?
42:49What's wrong?
42:50Mason's up for murder.
42:52Murder?
42:53Yes.
42:55Oh.
43:03Sheriff, may I please have a moment with Mr. Mason?
43:06Yes, I guess so.
43:08Go ahead.
43:12Oh, Jerry.
43:13Now, listen, Betty.
43:14They think I've murdered your granddad.
43:16Now, don't say anything to anyone, but hurry home and tell Jake that I have a preliminary hearing in the morning
43:21for him to get there without being seen by anyone.
43:24All right, Jerry.
43:25Goodbye.
43:29Goodbye.
43:30Goodbye.
43:52Randy, they've got Jerry locked up in jail.
43:55What's that?
43:56They think he murdered you.
43:58Now, Jerry says he's been caught in the morning and for you to be sure and get there without being seen.
44:04I understand.
44:06Seth, will I be there and how?
44:14Figure it out.
44:15The way I said, you haven't a chance in the world, Louie.
44:18You haven't a chance in the world, Louie.
44:22We'll be getting out of here and on top of the world.
44:25Yeah.
44:33Pardon me, gentlemen, but I'm looking for the courthouse.
44:37You're standing right in it, madam.
44:40Oh, for goodness sake.
44:42I do love murder trials, don't you?
44:45But if I were a murderer, I'd much prefer the electric chair
44:48than to have a rope around my neck, wouldn't you?
44:51Listen, lady, we're not interested.
44:54But you're going to be.
45:00Well, here comes the sheriff and me for now.
45:05My goodness, what big feet.
45:12Just a minute, boys. Check your hardware.
45:15Come on, let's get in here. This thing is just about to start.
45:45Come on.
46:15Come on.
46:34Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
46:36The court of Sonoma County is now open. Judge McGill presiding.
46:39Everybody be seated and come to immediate order.
46:46Your Honor, before you proceed further with this case,
46:50there's a few words I'd like to say.
46:52What is your name, madam?
46:54Veronica Mehippo Benson.
46:56In a relation to Jake Benson?
46:58Oh, yes. I'm his dearest relative.
47:01What do you want to say, madam?
47:03I wanted to say that I've known the accused since he was a babe in arms.
47:15Quiet, please.
47:17As I was about to say, I knew him years ago and he was the sweetest thing.
47:29Come to the point, madam.
47:31Well, I know who shot Jake Benson.
47:36The men are in this court, Your Honor,
47:38and I advise the sheriff not to let anyone leave this room.
47:43They tried to steal his mine.
47:45They tried to steal his ranch.
47:47And they shot him down in cold blood.
47:51How do you know this, madam?
47:53Because I was there when it happened, Your Honor.
48:06Sheriff, swear Miss Benson in.
48:09Swear Miss Benson in.
48:22Hey, put down your dress.
48:25I ain't no lady. I'm Jake Benson.
48:28And there's the two coyotes that shot me.
48:39There he is.
48:53There he goes.
49:04Why not twist, Jake?
49:06How do you run this darn thing?
49:08I'll do the driving.
49:38Come on.
50:08Come on.
50:38Come on.
51:08Come on.
51:38Come on.
52:08Come on.
52:38Come on.
53:08Come on.
53:39All right now, folks. That looks fine.
53:41Now, just a minute. Relax for a minute.
53:43Now, here we go.
53:45You must remember that I spent most all of the afternoon
53:48trying to get you in position.
53:50Now, hold it. Just like that.
53:52Still. Hold it, folks.
53:54Hold it!
53:58Ready now.
