05:03Cowboy is playing his rusty guitar All his thoughts go astrayin'
05:13Neath a western star As he sings to his loved one
05:21He's sayin' he'll come back someday When roundup time is through
05:28He'll be ridin' the trail Now he sits and strums as he hums and hums
05:37Till the good work comes, work is over He'll eat his fronk, old pal, from the old corral
05:44With the fowl no more will he roam But when cowboys start ridin'
05:53He'll be where they are And once more he'll be singin'
06:00With his old guitar When a cowboy is playin'
06:09Cowboy is playing his rusty guitar All his thoughts go astrayin'
06:17Neath a western star As he sings to his loved one

07:52Don't worry, he's got a good head on him. So does a glass of beer.
08:02Let's wait. They've got to come through here.
08:05There they are now.
08:22There they are.
08:52That one came from over the ridge. Sure does.
09:52There they are.
10:22Why, it's smoky. He's all right. Go get some water.
10:52Oh, boy.
11:23Howdy, fellas. Hope you like the circus.
11:27Never mind the circus. Let's get him back to town, find a doctor.
11:31Better not. I heard very popular in Pecos City.
11:38What do you think he meant by that, Tom?
11:40It's pretty plain he doesn't want to be taken back to Pecos City.
11:43We'll have to doctor him ourselves. Give me a hand.
11:53Sheriff, Len's dead. Outside in the buckboard.
12:21What? How'd that happen?
12:23Four men attacked us. They got Len, but I made a getaway.
12:25How about the young stranger?
12:27I don't know, Miss Betty. After the fight, I found Len on the buckboard, but the kid was gone.
12:30Come on, Walt. We'll have to toss him home with us.
12:33I doubt we'll find him alive, though.
12:35Bye, Betty. I won't be gone long.
12:37Do be careful, Uncle Bill.
12:39Don't you worry about me, honey.
12:51After two weeks of our expert care and some new duds, you look as good as new, Smokey.
12:55I feel swell.
13:01I sure owe you and Fuzzy a lot.
13:04You might as well forget it. You'll never be able to repay us.
13:08Hey, Fuzzy, why don't you send for that widow in El Paso?
13:11She'd just love to help you mend your clothes.
13:13Will you make him stop reminding me of my previous mistakes?
13:17Now, that's not very flattering to the widow.
13:20I'll sure be glad when I get back in civilization again.
13:23That's fine, because that's just where you're going today.
13:26We're heading for Pecor City.
13:29Pecor City, Tom?
13:31Yep.
13:32You think I can get by without being recognized?
13:34Sure. You're all healed up, no scars showing.
13:37I don't think anybody will recognize you in this new outfit,
13:40especially with that alfalfa off your face.
13:43Well, if you say so, I'll risk it.
13:45I'm afraid to wait any longer.
13:47Anything could happen to Sheriff Hastings by this time.
13:50If it has, somebody's going to do plenty of wishing it hadn't.
13:53Old Bill adopted me when I was knee-high to a hopcoat.
13:55He's the only dad I ever knew.
13:57Now he's in trouble, maybe I can repay him.
14:00You sure he didn't recognize you the night of the holdup?
14:02No, no, I know he didn't.
14:04I left Pecor City 15 years ago.
14:06Fella changed a lot in that length of time.
14:08Well, come on, boys, let's get started.
14:12Oh.
14:14Uh, Fuzzy, haven't you forgotten something?
14:17Nope, like an elephant, never forget.
14:19I'll bet you a quarter you've forgotten something.
14:21Well, put up or shut up.
14:30You win.
14:32Ha, ha, ha.
14:34Ha, ha, ha.
14:41Ha, ha, ha.
15:06There they come.
15:12Ha, ha, ha.
15:25Ha, ha.
15:41Ha, ha, ha.
16:12Ha, ha.
16:26Ha, ha.
16:41Ha, ha.
17:11After him, boys!
17:41We can't afford to be recognized!
18:09Well, I reckon we changed their minds.
18:21Come on, let's get back and see how Tom's doing.
18:38The outlaws were too far away for us to see their faces, Sheriff, but we might recognize their horses again.
18:53Hastings, when are you going to get these outlaws? Something's got to be done. The whole town's up in arms.
18:59I'm doing the best I can.
19:01That's not good enough. Mayor Blodgett and I have been talking it over and we think you ought to resign.
19:05That's right. As Mayor of Pecos City, I think it's a good idea.
19:09Fellow citizens, Mr. Saunders here has just suggested, in view of all the unsolved crimes in this community, that Sheriff Bill Hastings resign in favor of younger men.
19:20That's what I'm telling you!
19:22I think you people all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Uncle Bill Hastings helped found this town.
19:27He gave the best part of his life to making it a safe place for you and your families to live in.
19:32That's not helping matters now, Betty.
19:44If I wanted to, I could talk about a lot of things. About the years I've given to Pecos City.
19:50I could mention more than a few of you that I've helped out of scrapes.
19:54And I could take hours to name the crooks I've sent to jail.
19:58But you know all those things.
20:00Just like you know that I'll never rest until the robbing and killings that are now going on are stopped.
20:07And those that are responsible for it are caught.
20:10Law and order is coming again to this county and I'm going to bring it.
20:14You elected me Sheriff and as long as my term runs, I'm staying.
20:19Now get out!
20:23We know you well, Bill.
20:24Good for you, Uncle Bill.
20:29Any luck?
20:30Nah, the old galoot's stubborn a team of mules.
20:33Well, the best way to move a bulky mule is to build a fire under him.
20:36Yeah, maybe you're right.
20:44Oh, I'm sorry, boys.
20:46Betty Tolliver, my niece and secretary.
20:48Tom Cameron and Fuzzy Jones.
20:50And I don't think I've got your name, young fella.
20:54Uh, D-Dell.
20:56I'm awfully glad to know you all and I want to thank you for what you've done.
21:00Say, how did you know about the hold-up?
21:01I didn't see you until after the fireworks started.
21:03No, the whole town knew it before the bullion wagon had come to a halt.
21:07Denton's face is mighty familiar.
21:09Seems like I must have seen him somewhere before.
21:12Not unless you've been to El Paso, Sheriff. That's his home.
21:15Why don't you boys drop in for supper tonight?
21:17Betty's a pretty swell cook.
21:19Even she has lived in the East a couple of months ago.
21:22Say, you ain't never ate nothing yet until you taste some good old New England codfish balls.
21:27And potato pancakes, then top it off with a great big American...
21:29That's enough, Fuzzy. The Sheriff hasn't got time to listen to a whole menu.
21:33We'll be there, Sheriff. Thanks a lot.
21:35Uh, coming, Denton?
21:37Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll be with you in just a minute.
21:42How would you like to have company on the way home?
21:43Oh, I'd love it.
21:44Then wait just a minute. I have to speak to Tom.
21:48Oh, Tom!
21:50Just a minute.
21:52Say, Mort Saunders is one of the men I saw robbing the bank the night I was framed.
21:56Are you sure?
21:57Couldn't forget his face.
21:59Well, that complicates things.
22:01Apparently, Mort Saunders is one of the most influential men in town.
22:04You're sure you're not mistaken?
22:06I'm positive.
22:07Well, that gives us one important clue to start working on.
22:11I mean, um, Fuzzy and I will take time out to do something about it.
22:16See you later.
22:18All right, Fuzzy, we got work to do.
22:20Yes, sir.
22:25Hey, look. Pekka City Saloon.
22:28And hotel.
22:30You know, Tom, my throat feels just like my name, Fuzzy.
22:34All right, all right. I get it.
22:36Maybe that's not such a bad idea. We might be able to pick up a little gossip.
22:39Why, it's just the place to do it, you know. Everybody comes in here.
22:48Come on.
23:00Uh, give me a drink.
23:08This is one of the jobs I got to get to.
23:10How about a beer?
23:11That's all right.
23:12How about a drink?
23:13All right.
23:15All right, set him up for the boys. We'll get the drinks around me.
23:21Hi.
23:22Hi.
23:23Hey, did you see that fellow Cameron that I came in with?
23:26Yeah.
23:27He's a good opera singer.
23:28Opera singer?
23:29Yeah. Maybe we can get him to sing, huh?
23:31Sure.
23:32I'll drink.
23:33Oh, yeah.
23:34Oh, Fuzzy, I...
23:39That's enough.
23:41Where have you been?
23:42Oh, I just...
23:43Say, I understand you're quite an opera singer, Cameron.
23:46Oh, me?
23:47Yeah.
23:48Who told you that?
23:49Your pal here.
23:51You sing as well as you fight, stranger, or is it the other way around?
23:54Well, one of them's pleasure and the other's business.
23:58My name's Mort Saunders. This is my brother Jed.
24:01My name's Tom Cameron. I'm glad to know you.
24:04How are you?
24:05All right.
24:06I'd like to have a little private talk with you, Cameron.
24:08All right. I don't mind if I do.
24:12All right.
24:22I like the way you talk, Cameron.
24:24I like the way you act.
24:26Thanks.
24:27You know these parts pretty well.
24:30Why?
24:31Oh, just wondered. You were planning on staying in Pega City.
24:35I might.
24:37That depends.
24:38Fuzzy and me are looking for work.
24:42We're not too particular.
24:44How'd you like to be sheriff?
24:48Sheriff?
24:52What's the matter with the one you got?
24:54Bill Hastings is too old. He's lost his punch.
24:57Yeah, but not his friends.
24:59I'm a stranger in these parts, Saunders.
25:02What chance would I have against a man like Hastings?
25:04You heard what happened out there.
25:05You needn't worry about that.
25:07Mort can swing enough boats around here to cinch your election.
25:10If Hastings was out of the way,
25:12there'd be plenty of chance for a smart sheriff to do all right by himself.
25:16I mean all right.
25:19Well, that sounds interesting.
25:22Hastings has a fine reputation as a peace officer.
25:24He'd be hard to defeat.
25:26Maybe. I'll take care of that.
25:31I don't know.
25:33I tell you, I can swing the boats.
25:35After what you and your pals did this morning, you'd win hands down.
25:39Saving that bullion wagon was pure accident.
25:42We're not especially anxious to help out the law.
25:46He's never done anything for us.
25:48He's our man, all right, Mort.
25:50What do you say?
25:55When's the election?
25:56Three weeks.
26:00All right, Saunders, it's a deal.
26:03But if you should happen to cross me up...
26:09Don't worry, we won't.
26:14I thought Tom Cameron was your friend.
26:16So did I.
26:17Well, this certainly doesn't look like it.
26:19Of all the mean, vicious stabs we've had...
26:21Calling names don't win fights, Betty.
26:23This calls for action.
26:24Well, what are you going to do, run him out of town?
26:26I can't do that.
26:27Cameron's within his rights running against me.
26:29He knows that I'll have to campaign harder.
26:32You know,
26:33as far as Cameron's concerned,
26:35you know,
26:36this fellow Cameron didn't strike me as being the kind of a number
26:39that would sell out for Saunders' crowd.
26:41Well, he's not. He's as fair and square as...
26:43And how do you explain this?
26:45Well, I can't. Not right now.
26:47Where are you going?
26:48I'm going to ask some money and...
27:00Are you talking to me?
27:02Yes, I'm talking to you.
27:04Well, then I suggest we discuss it in private.
27:11It's good work, Smokey.
27:14After that, that gang will never guess what we aim to do.
27:17What are you talking about?
27:20We're all right. We're alone. Relax.
27:22I meant every word I said.
27:26I never thought you'd pull such a low-down trick,
27:28selling out to the Saunders' crowd and letting them run you for sheriff.
27:31Oh, that.
27:33Do you really think I'd go and run against Sheriff Hastings?
27:36What else am I to believe?
27:38Hey, is this a private argument or...
27:40Horny. Go ahead. Sit down. Join us.
27:42Thanks.
27:43Now, why don't you be sensible, Smokey?
27:46The only reason I took Saunders up on his proposition
27:48is to find out who the rest of his gang are.
27:51And I'm beginning to get a line on them.
27:53You expect me to believe that?
27:55If that's true, why didn't you talk the idea over with Fuzzy and me and the sheriff?
27:59Don't you think we ought to have something to say about it?
28:01Hey, what's the matter? Is that little love bug bit you again?
28:04Leave Betty out of this.
28:05Ah, she got you all mixed up.
28:07Now, the only thing that's important is that Smokey understand my motives.
28:11I understand your motives.
28:13You're trying to double-cross the best friend I have in the world,
28:15but you're not going to do it.
28:17I'm going back and tell him the whole story,
28:19who I am and why we're here.
28:21Now, that won't do anybody any good.
28:23It'll tip Saunders off and call our hand before we're ready.
28:27Don't you see, kid? Tom knows what he's doing.
28:29Well, I hope so.
28:31But I'm warning you, if you try to go through with this election,
28:34I'll upset the apple cart.
28:36Don't worry.
28:39Now, look, for the time being, go on acting sore.
28:44It'll keep Saunders' crowd believing me.
28:48All right, if that's the way you want it.
28:50But I'm through.
28:52He's got his feathers all ruffled up.
28:57Eat that, Cameron, a straight.
28:59All right, I will.
29:01A flush.
29:02Not so fast, partner.
29:04Four aces.
29:07You almost got your fingers burnt, Sheriff.
29:10Oh, I wouldn't mind.
29:12You really think I can get hold of that title?
29:14That'll be a cinch.
29:15My brother runs this town, and whatever he says goes.
29:18After tonight, Mort, he'll have the election sewed up.
29:20What makes you so sure?
29:22Well, the workmen at Eagle Rock Mine are all for Sheriff Bill Hastings.
29:25But they won't be after tomorrow.
29:27Why tomorrow?
29:28It's payday.
29:30And the bullion wagon carrying the cash will reach Devil's Pass around midnight.
29:34Now, something might happen.
29:36Shut up, Jed.
29:37You talk too much.
29:38I'm sure glad I'm not a miner.
29:41Good deal, Lefty.
29:46We've got to think of some way of stopping this holdup.
29:48Let's tell the Sheriff.
29:50No, that's not it.
29:52If the law stepped in, Jed and his gang would know just where it came from.
29:57Now, I'll have to do this alone.
30:02I've got it.
30:04If I left here soon enough, I could get to the Badlands in time to warn them.
30:07That's a long run.
30:08How could you get back here before Saunders misses you?
30:11By you boys placing a relay of horses on the trail between here and Devil's Pass.
30:14That's a good idea.
30:16What else can we do?
30:17Well, you might show yourselves around town tonight.
30:19It'll help establish my alibi.
30:21Leave me a little dough, will you?
30:51That's where I want to go
30:53Where I first saw light of day
30:57Prairie trail
31:00Prairie trail
31:03Running, winding, rolling down the plain
31:10Prairie trail
31:13Prairie trail
31:15Running, winding, rolling down the plain
31:22Prairie trail
31:24Prairie trail
31:27Lead me to that valley once again
31:33Take me to the buffalo
31:36Where the longhorn cattle play
31:39That's where I want to go
31:42Where I first saw light of day
31:46Prairie trail
31:50Prairie trail
31:55Running, winding, rolling down the plain
32:07Hey, Cameron.
32:09Leaving so soon?
32:11Yeah, I'm tired out.
32:13I thought I'd hit the hay.
32:15Why don't you join us? We need another hand.
32:18You mean you need another victim.
32:21Good night.
32:36Good night.
33:06Get down!
33:24Get down!
33:26Get down!
33:35Get down!
33:37Get down!
33:56All right, up with them.
33:59All right, you, bring that payroll down here.
34:02Come on, make it snappy. We ain't got all night.
34:05Drop your guns in reach.
34:10All right, boys, get these guns.
34:13Take these hombres into Paca City and deliver them to Sheriff Hastings.
34:17I'm sure he'll be surprised to see them.
34:25If I were you, I'd wrap them up good and tight.
34:28How do you know something?
34:35I don't know.
35:05Let's go.
35:24Unsaddle them and turn them loose.
35:27Yes, sir.
35:35That's all that there is.
35:40What's the matter? Couldn't you sleep?
35:43I was too much racket.
35:45No use trying to sleep. Might as well deal me in a hand.
35:48Sure.
35:52How many are you on?
35:55Let me think.
36:05Let's go.
36:27Now then, you boys will just sign this complaint against Pete and Jed,
36:31while we'll...
36:33Robbery complaint.
36:34You know what I'm referring to. Where's Jed?
36:36In jail.
36:37I want him released at once.
36:39Oh, no. Too hard to catch him turning loose that quick.
36:42What about bail?
36:43That's up to the courts on it.
36:44But court doesn't sit again for three days.
36:46I know it. Well, if you just sign it.
36:49Mind if I talk to your prisoners a few minutes?
36:51According to law, they're entitled to counsel.
36:53Well, it better not take yours if they're anxious to get out.
36:56Go ahead.
36:58Oh, wait a minute. Let me have your gun.
37:04You're not a fine pair.
37:06Letting yourselves get caught by one man.
37:08It was a trap.
37:09And the army that pulled it was Tom Cameron.
37:11He's all dressed up in a fake outfit and wearing a mask.
37:13Oh, crazy. Cameron was here in town last night.
37:15I was playing poker with him.
37:17What about those two pals of his?
37:19Same goes for them.
37:20Was Cameron with you all evening?
37:22Oh, except a couple of hours when he's upstairs trying to get some sleep.
37:25But he's no magician.
37:27He ain't a horse livin' that could make a return.
37:29Well, maybe you're right.
37:30Now, don't worry, boys.
37:31I'll stall things along until after election.
37:33Soon as Cameron gets into office, things are going to be a lot different.
37:36Now, don't get any ideas and don't do any talking.
37:39See you later.
37:43He'll get the sheriff puts enough pressure on him.
37:45I know Jed Saunders.
37:47He's yellow inside.
37:48This puts us all in a dangerous spot.
37:50Oh, what are we going to do?
37:51Are we going to shut him up?
37:53I don't know.
37:54I don't know.
37:56What?
37:57Oh, what are we going to do?
37:58Are we going to shut him up?
38:00Just give me leave to go ahead.
38:05Well, it says here that you're going to meet a tall, dark man.
38:09Really?
38:10Wearing a blue shirt, dark trousers.
38:13Yes, go on.
38:14And, uh, oh, yes, he'll arrive with two friends.
38:17But don't pay any attention to them, especially the one with the whiskers.
38:21Oh, uh, did you get your prisoners all bedded down, Sheriff?
38:24Yes, and I'm thinking about doing the same to myself.
38:27Walt will be along in five minutes to take over.
38:33You know, I used to have a youngster by the name of Dennis.
38:38Looked a little like you, too.
38:40Well, I reckon I got a face like a lot of people, Sheriff.
38:43How long since you've seen this boy?
38:45Oh, 15 years.
38:47I raised him from a pup.
38:50Then he had the wanderlust.
38:52Liked to drift.
38:54Lost track of him, finally.
38:56Well, he'll turn up.
38:58Knowing what a fine number you are, he's bound to.
39:00Thanks.
39:02I'd give my left arm to see him again.
39:09Hey, Jed.
39:12Oh, Jed. Jed.
39:17What's up?
39:18What's up?
39:19I just heard it. I just heard the Sheriff found out about the whole set-up.
39:29You stay here, buddy.
39:42Why'd you kill him?
39:44Kill him?
39:45I didn't kill him.
39:46I was asleep in the bunk and I heard a noise and jumped up and...
39:49there was Jed lying in the corner.
39:51I looked out the window and saw a fellow running away that looked like Dirk Larkin.
39:55I'm afraid your story won't stand up from the looks of things.
39:58Well, I tell you, that's the way it was.
40:00I looked around and picked the knife up off the floor and...
40:02Enough, Sheriff. Jed has just been murdered.
40:04Remove the body.
40:06Then go over to the saloon and tell Mort.
40:08Coming, son?
40:10Yep.
40:17Frankly, I don't believe this story about my brother being killed by some mysterious murderer.
40:23Hastings had it done because Jed wouldn't talk like he wanted.
40:27Something's got to be done now or there'll be more crime, more killings.
40:36That'll be Lynch and Sheriff Hastings if Mort keeps that up.
40:39What are we going to do, sit here and twiddle our thumbs?
40:41It's up to you, folks.
40:43If you want to put Hastings in office, you'll have to take him out.
40:47Here's the man who's going to be your new sheriff.
40:49Let's see what he's got to say about it.
40:52I don't blame you folks for being upset.
40:54Robberies and killings have been going on around here for some time.
40:57The law doesn't seem to be able to check them.
40:59That's right, Sheriff. You think you can do it for us?
41:03Bill Hastings has been a great sheriff in his day...
41:06but he's too old to cope with this modern crime.
41:09Either he should be forced to resign in three days...
41:12or he should be impeached.
41:14This reign of terror has got to stop.
41:17Come on, let's go over to his house and get him.
41:21That won't be necessary.
41:23Thanks, neighbors, for your confidence.
41:26But remember, I'm still sheriff for three more days.
41:31Come on, Betty.
41:33Stay with your friends. You knew what they were up to.
41:35Betty, you've got to understand...
41:37I understand enough.
41:39Come on, boys. The drinks are on me.
41:41Everybody.
41:55Hey, what's the idea?
41:56Oh, come on upstairs. I'll explain it to you.
41:58You've got plenty of explaining to do.
42:00Now listen, you hot-headed young scamp.
42:02Cool off. You've been acting like a two-year-old.
42:04How do you expect me to act after what I just heard downstairs?
42:08You don't mean to tell me you believed it.
42:10I believe my own ears.
42:12I thought you were my pal...
42:14if you're interested in helping me get Uncle Bill out of trouble.
42:16Now that's just what I am trying to do...
42:18only you're too dumb to realize it.
42:20Are you denying you told half of the town Uncle Bill was too old for the job?
42:23Why should I deny it?
42:25I don't want Saunders to get suspicious.
42:27If he gets wise now, all our work could be for nothing.
42:30Don't you think it's time to stop acting?
42:33Now listen, Smokey, we've knocked around together a lot.
42:36Have you ever known me to pull a crooked deal?
42:39No, but there's always a first time.
42:41Well, this isn't it.
42:43You've been telling me that for days, and I believed you.
42:46But after the way you talked to that crowd, I'm through.
42:48I'm going to find Uncle Bill and make a clean breast of everything.
42:56Besides, it's too late to stop now.
42:58I'd rather have it that way than go on the way we are.
43:01Why don't you listen to reason?
43:03There's no use to keep on arguing with me, Tom.
43:06I'm going to tell Uncle Bill who I really am and what happened the night of the bank robbery.
43:09Yes, and ten minutes later, all of Pecos City will know about it.
43:12I don't care if the whole world knows he's my foster father.
43:15And I'm also going to tell him that Mort Saunders was there the night the watchman was shot.
43:18Oh, no, you're not.
43:20Now listen, Smokey, Saunders has got witnesses.
43:22The sheriff will be forced to take their word against yours.
43:25It'll put a rope right around your neck.
43:27Well, I'll have to take that chance.
43:29Now wait a minute.
43:37Hey, Lefty, have you seen Cameron around?
43:39Yeah, I just come past his room.
43:41He and Smokey seem to be having a little trouble.
43:43Oh, thanks.
43:52What's the matter with him? Don't he like to sleep in bed?
43:54I'm sorry, Fuzzy, I had to do it.
43:56Looked like he was going to lose his head and talk out of turn.
43:58You mean you had to...
43:59Yeah, I'll fix it up with him later. He'll understand.
44:03I'm going over to Saunders' office.
44:05I think he's mixed up in this. I'm going to take a look around.
44:07Maybe I'll find something.
44:32Come on.
44:33Come on.
44:35Come on.
45:01And then Fuzzy showed up and I had to beat it.
45:03Got to hand it to Cameron for bringing that kid back here right under our noses.
45:07It's bad if the kid talks to the sheriff.
45:09Don't worry about the sheriff. I've got an idea that'll take care of him and the kid.
45:13Stick around.
45:19I've just overheard something that'll interest you men.
45:23Lefty overheard Smokey admit that he was the umbrella that killed the night watchman in the bank...
45:28...when it was held up a few weeks ago.
45:31Wait a minute, men.
45:33He also found out that Smokey is Sheriff Bill Hastings' adopted son.
45:39That's probably why he sent him by buckboard to Riverton.
45:42He arranged for the buckboard to be attacked and the kids escaped.
45:48You can understand now why Sheriff Bill Hastings hasn't been making any arrests.
45:53He's probably mixed up in all the crooked businesses going on around here.
46:00Wait a minute, men.
46:03Lynching Smokey ain't the way to handle this, fellas.
46:06But we can hand him over to the sheriff and make Hastings hang his own adopted kid.
46:13Now take it easy, Smokey.
46:15You're going to stay here whether you like it or not.
46:17And I'm here to see that you do.
46:24What good is that gun doing you?
46:26There's no bullet in it.
46:28It's just a gun.
46:30It's a gun.
46:32It's a gun.
46:34It's a gun.
46:36It's a gun.
46:38It's a gun.
46:40What good is that gun doing you?
46:42There's no bullet in it.
46:54My, that's pretty.
47:01Smokey, I'm marching him over to the sheriff's office.
47:04All right, he's up in Cameron's room. Come on.
47:11Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
47:13I've done anything. That's for us to decide.
47:28Let him speak. Let him speak.
47:30Maybe he's got something to say for himself.
47:33Go ahead, Mr. Dennis Moore, and tell the boys why you shot the bank watchman.
47:37And which one of your pals knifed my brother Jed.
47:39Come on.
47:41All right, so I am Dennis Moore.
47:43But I didn't shoot anybody, and I don't know who killed Jed.
47:47Are you going to let them hang me without a trial?
47:49I'm not sure.
47:51However, I would save the taxpayers money.
47:54And I believe I'll turn the responsibility over to your adopted father.
48:00I say hang him now.
48:07Come on.
48:09Come on.
48:35Hey, Tom, they're fixing to give Smokey a necktie party.
48:37What are you talking about?
48:38He got away from me and they caught him.
48:40Saunders found out who he is and about the bank robbery.
48:42They're all steamed up and going local.
48:44He also told them that Smokey shot the night watchman and killed Jed.
48:46And we've got to do something.
48:49All right, come on.
48:50I've got an idea, Fuzzy, but we've got to work fast.
48:52Now let's go to the jam and talk to Pete.
48:57That mob at the saloon is sure working up to something, Sheriff.
48:59Reckon they're after Pete?
49:01Well, if they are, we'll be ready for them.
49:03Your move, Johnson.
49:08Hey, Pete.
49:12Pete.
49:19Yeah? What do you want?
49:21Saunders is getting the mob together and they're coming here to string you up.
49:24Yeah, you're crazy.
49:27You hear that?
49:28Yeah, so what?
49:30I don't mean nothing.
49:32Find out different.
49:34I want to make a little deal with you.
49:36All right, I'm listening, but you're just wasting your breath.
49:40I want you to give me a signed statement
49:42telling the truth about the bank hold-up and the murder
49:45and who's behind these crimes.
49:47If you do, I might be able to save you from being lynched.
49:52I don't know what you're talking about.
49:54Anyhow, they don't lynch folks for robbery.
49:57Yeah, but they do for murder.
49:59Yeah, but I ain't killed nobody.
50:01I just heard Saunders tell a saloon full of people
50:03that you shot Silas Daggett and knifed his brother Jed.
50:07That's a good trick, Cameron.
50:09But it won't work.
50:12Hey, here they come now to string you up.
50:15And I just bet there's somebody in that outfit
50:17that feared you a squeal if you're brought to trial.
50:20You hear that noise?
50:21That's the mob.
50:25I'm sorry, Jens, but I ain't falling for it.
50:29I'm sorry, Jens, but I ain't falling for that story.
50:33All right, it's your neck that's being stretched.
50:35Come on, fuzzy.
50:44You know, it's a funny thing, Tom.
50:46There was a fellow down at Tombstone Way once.
50:48Thought he was being fooled too when the mob came after him.
50:51He had a terrible time, he did.
50:53Near burned up.
50:55You know, he wouldn't confess.
50:57So they just built a fire to the wood braces
51:00underneath the bottom of his sail.
51:02Pretty soon, the concrete floor got so all fire hot
51:04this fellow was doing a polka to keep his feet from blistering.
51:07The walls caught fire.
51:09Then the bars melted.
51:11Why, even the ceiling was red hot.
51:13And still that fellow wouldn't confess.
51:16So they plugged the sheriff
51:18and took this prisoner out to the highest
51:20cottonwood tree I ever seen.
51:28And when they dragged him out of the tombstone jail
51:31and over to the cottonwood, what do you think?
51:34There was a buzzard in the top branches.
51:37Just a-waiting.
51:41All right.
51:42Wait a minute, fellas.
51:44I'll tell.
51:45I'll tell everything.
51:46Only, please, please don't let him hang me.
51:49Don't worry, we won't.
51:51All right, thanks.
51:52Thanks.
51:57Come on.
51:58Take him out.
52:02I want it done as much as you do.
52:08What are you going to do, Uncle Bill?
52:09Fight.
52:10You better get out of here, honey.
52:11They'll be busting this way any minute now.
52:13No, I'm staying.
52:15What's all the shouting for, Cameron?
52:16You'll find out soon enough.
52:17First, all of you, come on back to Pete's cell.
52:19He wants the sign of confession.
52:20I knew they were after him.
52:22You've been nice and persuading.
52:23You said it.
52:24Lock the door.
52:25We haven't a minute to lose.
52:26You two, the more witnesses, the better.
52:43I'm not so old I can't see.
52:45He's Devin Mills.
52:46That's what you think.
52:48His real name is Denny Moore, your adopted son.
52:52I thought I knew him.
52:54I'm sorry, Uncle Bill.
52:55What are you bringing him back for?
52:57For shooting the bank watchman.
53:01Hear that, mob?
53:03I kind of said I'm watching you hang him.
53:05And if you don't, you're both swinging.
53:10Ward Saunders?
53:12Dirk Larkin?
53:14Lefty Higgins?
53:15Dan Blodgett?
53:16Joe Carson?
53:17You're all under arrest.
53:19Are you out of your mind, Bill?
53:21You can't do this, Sheriff.
53:22You haven't any grounds.
53:23That's where you're wrong, there.
53:26This is Pete Haynes' confession.
53:28Implicating all of you.
53:30And it will stand in any court.
53:32Pete doesn't know anything.
53:33That's a fake.
53:34Signed by five witnesses.
53:36And they're all more than willing to testify at your trials.
53:40All right, start talking.
53:42I couldn't help it, boss.
53:43I thought the mob was after me, afraid I'd talk.
53:46They freed me.
53:47Why, you fool, you had to...
53:49Now, take it easy, Saunders.
53:51Pete's told us all about the bank robbery.
53:53And that Dirk killed Jed to keep Jed from squealing on the gang.
53:59I had to do it, Mort.
54:01Blodgett and Carson made me.
54:02They made me.
54:03They're to blame.
54:11Come on.
54:17Come on.
54:47Come on.
55:18Sure name.
55:20Thanks, fellas.
55:21Well, I'm sure glad law and order's come to Pega City.
55:24I could use a lot of peaceful living right now.
55:26Yeah, me too.
55:27You're dead right, Fuzzy.
55:29This just came to you, Tom.
55:31Oh, thank you.
55:39Who's it from?
55:41Ruth Meeker.
55:42Another letter.
55:43Remember them?
55:44Yeah.
55:45Has that started already?
55:46Right.
55:48I knew it.
55:49I knew it.
55:51When did we start?
55:52Right now.
55:54So, folks, I'm sorry, but goodbye.
55:57Bye, old man.
55:58Goodbye, Sheriff.
55:59Hate to see you go.
56:00Well, it's urgent.
56:01Goodbye, Miss Betty.
56:02Goodbye.
56:04And so long, Smokey.
56:06We'll be seeing you soon.
56:07You sure will.
56:08I'm going with you.
56:09But, Smokey, I...
56:10Oh, I know, honey, but...
56:11Well, I'll be back before...
56:13Before Uncle Bill can beat Grandpapa Checkers.
56:16So long, Uncle Bill.
56:18So long, folks.
56:19So long.
56:20So long.
