Short filmTranscript
00:00:00And as usual, men died faster and louder.
00:00:04But along with the customary violence and bloodshed of a gold camp, something new was
00:00:26added to make Cripple Creek unique among all her sinful sisters.
00:00:30Waylaying shipments of smelted gold was too old-fashioned for the Cripple Creek gangs.
00:00:35These boys weren't waiting for the ore to reach the smelter.
00:00:38Wagon load upon wagon load of the highest-grade stuff, some of it running as much as $60,000
00:00:44a load was simply disappearing in the thin, rocky mountain air.
00:01:03They got Sam the driver, two of the mine crew, unwounded, four others besides me.
00:01:07Well, couldn't you identify any of them?
00:01:09No, Marshal.
00:01:10They were all masked.
00:01:11That's the tenth wagon load of my richest ore that's been hijacked this month.
00:01:14And six loads of mine never got to the smelter.
00:01:16The way they select only the richest ore, you'd think they had access to my secret
00:01:20asset reports.
00:01:21I think you gentlemen should appeal to your senators in Washington.
00:01:25What do you suggest, Sullivan?
00:01:26Well, as the government asked, sir, I must agree with the Marshal.
00:01:30The loss of gold in such quantities is a matter of national concern.
00:01:33Gentlemen, I think that's a good idea.
00:01:36They were right about that.
00:01:38It was a matter of national concern.
00:01:41This year of 1893 was one of financial depression and near panic.
00:01:46The country's gold reserve had reached such a low ebb that President Cleveland placed
00:01:49an embargo on the sale and shipment of that precious metal to foreign nations.
00:01:55Every ounce of gold was needed by the National Treasury, so the problem of the wholesale
00:02:00looting of Cripple Creek Mines became the immediate and urgent business of the United
00:02:05States Secret Service.
00:02:41♪♪
00:02:51♪♪
00:03:11♪♪
00:03:21♪♪
00:03:41Turn around.
00:03:42Easy line.
00:03:43Larry!
00:03:44Kind of jumpy, ain't you, Brad?
00:03:45That Texas lingo of yours had me fooled.
00:03:46I thought the panhandle boys were my chief brother.
00:03:47Hello, Ivers.
00:03:48Glad to see you, sir.
00:03:49So you did get my wire after all.
00:03:50Yeah, I got it all right, but I had quite a time following your instructions.
00:03:51When you didn't reach Ratoon on time, Galland and I started on to see what had happened
00:03:52to you.
00:03:53Every peace officer in Texas was after my scalp for that border job.
00:03:54How come you didn't clear me with a stick?
00:03:55Well, Ivers, I've got to tell you something.

00:05:40Whee!
00:05:41Woo!
00:05:42Woo!
00:05:44Which way to the livery stable, friend?
00:05:46The livery stable's right down there at the end of the street.
00:05:49Honey, Jake, three wagons to go back to the woodcutter's
00:05:53camp tonight, fresh horses and sober drivers.
00:05:56Yes, boss.
00:05:59You early, Muldoon.
00:06:00We don't roll for a couple of hours.
00:06:01We won't roll at all till we get our pay
00:06:04for those last three jobs.
00:06:05You get your pay when I get mine, not before.
00:06:08We want ours now, or you can get yourself a new crew.
00:06:12Nobody quits this outfit.
00:06:16I'll see the boss.
00:06:18Go ahead.
00:06:26Stable your ponies, gents.
00:06:28Thanks.
00:06:29We'll take care of them for you.
00:06:30Any ideas to where we can get a room around here?
00:06:32It's hard to say.
00:06:33Town's overcrowded.
00:06:37Might try over the Silver Palace.
00:06:39Much obliged.
00:06:40Customers, Jake.
00:07:07What'll it be, gents?
00:07:08What do you see about getting a room here?
00:07:10Ask the boss there, Mr. Kirby.
00:07:13Mr. Kirby?
00:07:14Better known as Silver Kirby.
00:07:16What can I do for you, gentlemen?
00:07:17We'd like to get a room.
00:07:19Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we're all filled up.
00:07:21Liveryman Cabot figured you might be able to take care of us.
00:07:25Oh, I see.
00:07:26And you boys must have ridden up from the valley tonight.
00:07:29Yeah, a 40-mile day.
00:07:31It's a long pull.
00:07:32Let's see if we can't do something for you.
00:07:34Julie.
00:07:39Have we a canceled reservation available for these gentlemen?
00:07:42Why, yes.
00:07:43We had a room ready for Mr. McKee,
00:07:44but he's gone back to Victor.
00:07:46Well, boys, it looks like you're in luck.
00:07:48Come along, gentlemen.
00:07:49I'll show you the way.
00:07:50Thanks, ma'am.
00:07:51And thank you for being so accommodating.
00:07:53Glad to oblige.
00:07:54That's what we're here for.
00:07:56I wonder what Cabot saw in those two to worry about.
00:08:01Maybe it's the way they sling their artillery.
00:08:03Texas style, low and handy.
00:08:07I suppose you boys came here hoping to get rich quickly,
00:08:09like all the others.
00:08:10No, ma'am, we just just got back from a trip.
00:08:12We're not going to get anywhere.
00:08:13Excuse me.
00:08:14I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:08:15How about you?
00:08:16I'm sorry, but I'm looking for another job.
00:08:18I'm sorry, but I'm looking for another job.
00:08:20I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:08:21I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:08:22I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:08:23I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:08:24Now, ma'am, we just drifted up from Texas to take in the sights of Cripple Creek.
00:08:28Yeah, and we sure like what we've seen so far.
00:08:32They must have moved the Blondie Stone to Texas.
00:08:35Here's the room.
00:08:36We had it ready for Mr. McKee. He owns the gold dollar mine.
00:08:39So at least you boys will sleep in a millionaire's bed.
00:08:41Yeah, it looks real cozy-like.
00:08:43Thanks, Miss Julie.
00:08:44Not at all. It's part of my job.
00:08:46Now, if you'll give me your names, I'll register for you.
00:08:48Ivers is mine. Burt Ivers.
00:08:50This is Laurie Gallant.
00:08:51Mine's Julie Hanson. Good night.
00:08:54Good night, Miss Julie.
00:08:55Good night, man.
00:09:00Did you see Strap down there dealing Pharaoh?
00:09:02Yeah, it looks like a real sweet listening purse.
00:09:04I sure hope...
00:09:06Why, do you think somebody's worried about us already?
00:09:08We're in the right place. They'd worry about any strangers.
00:09:20I sure hope Strap gets in touch with us tonight.
00:09:22Well, we'll leave that to him. It's his play.
00:09:32Silver says no dice.
00:09:34Everybody waits for the big payoff.
00:09:36So we wait. Is that it?
00:09:39No.
00:09:40We make our own collection tonight.
00:09:42Now, you two stay here. I'll get the boys in the other room.
00:09:52Okay.
00:10:09Okay, George.
00:10:22Just one dealer left. Get the boys.
00:10:31Good night, Gillis.
00:10:32Good night, Mr. Kirby.
00:10:41It's Strap!
00:10:42Yeah.
00:10:44Hold it.
00:10:50They must have gotten wise to Strap.
00:10:52Wait.
00:10:53They're using him as a decoy for a hold-up.
00:11:02Mr. Kirby! Mr. Kirby!
00:11:14All right, keep it quiet, you two.
00:11:16This is a private gold strike in the house.
00:11:19I'm not waiting anymore.
00:11:43Mr. Kirby!
00:12:14I reckon it's all here, Mr. Kirby.
00:12:17You didn't give him a chance to spend any of it, that's certain.
00:12:20Put it away, Ed.
00:12:22I don't like to look a gift horse in the mouth,
00:12:25but how did you two happen to invite yourself to Muldoon's party?
00:12:28I reckon it's just force of habit.
00:12:30You see, Larry and me, we're sort of ground floor fellas.
00:12:33Any time we're sleeping two stories high, we get kind of nervous.
00:12:36So I was just looking out the window,
00:12:38just to make sure we could reach the ground easy.
00:12:40In case of fire.
00:12:42Fire, or even the wrong kind of knock on the door.
00:12:45Then you saw that Muldoon outfit jump me.
00:12:47Yeah, four guns on one man.
00:12:49We don't like that kind of odds down in Texas.
00:12:53It's a lucky break all the way around.
00:12:55Gentlemen, this calls for a drink on the house.
00:13:08And that's Bill Tate of Colorado Security.
00:13:11Bill Tate of Colorado Springs. He work for you two?
00:13:14Drove for me once in a while.
00:13:16Very sad affair,
00:13:18but the best night's business we've had for some time.
00:13:22I can make a very attractive club rate for all six.
00:13:28Well, Silver, you can lock up now.
00:13:30Corpus Delicti's been identified, and Hawkins here offers a very good club rate.
00:13:34Six coffins, no flowers, no mourners.
00:13:37Seems to me that's up to Cabot.
00:13:39Be careful about my hired help if I were you.
00:13:41Look, I gotta take what I can get.
00:13:43Cutting and hauling this town's supply of cord wood is a tough job.
00:13:46If that's all, Marshal, I'll be rolling. I gotta hustle up a new crew.
00:13:49That's all, Cabot, and thanks.
00:13:51I can make it easier for you, Mr. Cabot, if you furnish one of your own wagons.
00:13:55My largest hearse is only a two-passenger job.
00:13:59See Jake at the stable.
00:14:01Splendid. I'll send my decorator over to drape it in black.
00:14:05You can drape it in red, white, and blue, for all I care.
00:14:09A patriotic idea, but a little too unconventional for Cripple Creek.
00:14:14Well, good night, all, and thanks again, gentlemen, for being so cooperative.
00:14:30Miss Julie, sure glad you weren't down here when this happened, Miss Julie.
00:14:34So am I.
00:14:36Yeah, it's pretty rough.
00:14:38There couldn't be help once it started.
00:14:40I suppose not, and I'm sure Mr. Kirby's very grateful to you.
00:14:43Good night.
00:14:45Good night, ma'am.
00:14:53Well, I reckon Larry and me'll shove off for bed.
00:14:56Good night, men.
00:14:57Consider yourselves the honored guests of the house for as long as you want to stay.
00:15:00Well, now, that's real handsome of you.
00:15:03See you in the morning.
00:15:04Good night.
00:15:05Good night.
00:15:09Nothing like good old Southern chivalry.
00:15:12Imagine those boys risking their lives for a total stranger like you.
00:15:18Or am I taking too much for granted?
00:15:21I never saw them before, boss.
00:15:23And it's my hunts they made this grandstand play to get in your good book, not mine.
00:15:28What do you think, Denver?
00:15:29Well, all I say is, boss, you better keep that safe locked while your new guests of honor are in town.
00:15:34I agree with Denver.
00:15:35Good.
00:15:36I not only lock the safe, I change the combination.
00:15:42Night, gents.
00:15:45Well, Marshal, how does it take up from the point of view of the law?
00:15:49Well, I'd say the town is well rid of the Muldoon outfit, but I'm not so sure it'll benefit by the change.
00:15:55Those two gun artists ain't here for their health.
00:15:58Maybe I better contact my old friend Sheriff Summers down in Amarillo.
00:16:02He's got a record of every gunfighter in Texas.
00:16:04It's a smart idea, Marshal.
00:16:06We law-abiding citizens can't be too careful.
00:16:24Why don't you look under the bed?
00:16:26Why don't I knock your block off, you mean?
00:16:28I'm sorry, Brett, you're dead right.
00:16:30I nearly wrecked our case.
00:16:31You sure did.
00:16:32Strap!
00:16:34Strap!
00:16:42Hiya, Strap.
00:16:43I ought to take you across my knee and spank you like I did when you were a kid.
00:16:47All right, ball me out.
00:16:48I got it coming.
00:16:50It isn't that bad, Larry.
00:16:51You just broke a plate.
00:16:53I think I saved the pieces, but you guys will have to glue them together.
00:16:56How bad is it broken?
00:16:57I can't tell for sure.
00:16:58Silver Kirby's grateful, but suspicious.
00:17:00That fish-eyed killer of his, Denver Jones,
00:17:02figures you're a couple of refugee outlaws looking for a soft touch.
00:17:05I hope the idea lasts.
00:17:07Well, if Kirby runs things, he might make us a proposition.
00:17:10How does Kirby add up?
00:17:11I got nothing but hunches so far.
00:17:13But there's a tie-in between him and Cabot.
00:17:15Yeah, I figured as much.
00:17:17The way Cabot's name got us this room.
00:17:19How do they work it?
00:17:21Here's all I got.
00:17:22Cabot has ten four-horse wagons hauling cordwood.
00:17:25That's the only fuel they have here.
00:17:27Where do they get it?
00:17:28I don't know.
00:17:29But his woodcutter's camp runs full blast all summer,
00:17:32and his rigs roll day and night.
00:17:34Out empty and back loaded.
00:17:35Hasn't anybody ever tried to trail him?
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:38Six marshals and ten deputies, but they never got back.
00:17:41Well, it begins to figure.
00:17:43You've done all right, Strap,
00:17:45for a guy anchored to a feral bank layout and only here a week.
00:17:48What about this gal, Julie Hanson?
00:17:51All I know is she works for a living to keep her old man eating.
00:17:55He's an old hard-luck prospect
00:17:57who has dug more holes than all the gophers in the West.
00:18:00Well, we can't overlook anybody connected with Kirby.
00:18:03I guess I'll have to give Miss Julie my personal attention.
00:18:06There he goes again, grabbing off the best assignment.
00:18:11Mr. Cordwood Cabot himself at the range.
00:18:14Off the bed, lurien harness up. We're going for a ride.
00:18:17You got it, Brett. That wagon may put us on first base.
00:18:19I've a hunch it'll do more than that.
00:18:21It may buy us a seat at Silver Kirby's table.
00:18:23That's the best night's sleep I've had since I met up with him.
00:18:26Ha, ha, ha.
00:18:28Hey, Mr. Cordwood Cabot.
00:18:30I've got a job for you.
00:18:32I've got a job for you.
00:18:34I've got a job for you.
00:18:36I've got a job for you.
00:18:38Strap. Blow out the lamp.
00:19:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:19:38Ha, ha, ha.
00:20:09That's it, boys.
00:20:23Well, now, how do you like that?
00:20:25It'll be doggone. What do we do now?
00:20:27Follow Cabot to the second link in the chain?
00:20:29No, we haven't got time. It's too near morning.
00:20:32Besides, I've got a better idea. Mask up.
00:20:38Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:08Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:10Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:12Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:15Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:17Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:19Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:38Oh, God!
00:21:42What do we do with it now that we got it?
00:21:55Dump it in some abandoned hole.
00:22:25It'll be safe in this dead shaft.
00:22:51Well, I couldn't sleep, so I got to the window for a smoke, and there's those two buckaroos
00:23:06climbing down from the roof to the ground.
00:23:08Why didn't you tail them?
00:23:10I'm just a farrow dealer.
00:23:12I haven't been hired to tail anybody.
00:23:14I appreciate your loyalty, Gillis.
00:23:17Perhaps I can throw something your way.
00:23:19To start with, take your things and move into that empty room next to our Texas guests.
00:23:23Keep cases on them, night and day.
00:23:25I'll stick to them like a brother.
00:23:28Where have you been?
00:23:36Sleeping in your stable?
00:23:37I've been walking ten miles.
00:23:38Can I see you in private?
00:23:39Oh, that's all right.
00:23:40I've, uh, just taken Gillis into the corporation.
00:23:44Pour our roughed-up friend a cup of coffee, Stratton.
00:23:47What's the sad story?
00:23:48Two masked gunmen killed Ben Fry and hijacked my wagon last night.
00:23:51Did they get the ore?
00:23:52Yeah, and the wagon's back at the stable, empty, so they've cached the load someplace.
00:23:58Morning, Mr. Tudor.
00:23:59Morning, man.
00:24:00Morning, boys.
00:24:01Morning, Mr. Kirby.
00:24:02Morning.
00:24:03Have breakfast with it.
00:24:04Well, that's an invitation we never refuse.
00:24:08That belt buckle!
00:24:10Who are you?
00:24:11Cabot.
00:24:12But these are the two yegs who stuck me up.
00:24:14There must be some mistake.
00:24:16These men are my friends.
00:24:18They've proved it.
00:24:21How about it, Ivers?
00:24:22We're mighty sorry, Mr. Kirby.
00:24:24Larry and me had no idea you were mixed up with Cabot's outfit.
00:24:28Naturally, we'd have laid off that ore wagon.
00:24:30Naturally.
00:24:32And that being the case, all you have to do is tell us where you dumped those sacks,
00:24:36and there'll be no hard feelings.
00:24:38That was mighty rich ore, Mr. Kirby.
00:24:40Yeah, from what we hear, it must be worth close to $40,000.
00:24:43Gold!
00:24:44Travel around, folk!
00:24:45Give me that!
00:24:46Give me that!
00:24:47I know!
00:24:48I know!
00:24:49I'll give you anything!
00:24:50Gold!
00:24:53Look at that, boys!
00:24:54Council's holly, you call that claim of mine, did you?
00:24:57Give me that, you gober!
00:24:59Look at that!
00:25:00It's Julie's father.
00:25:01He struck it rich.
00:25:02Nonsense.
00:25:03That old claim is.
00:25:04It isn't worth a quarter.
00:25:05Never will be.
00:25:06If there's any gold in it, somebody dumped it down the shaft.
00:25:08Drink up, boys!
00:25:09To the old Juliana!
00:25:11Juliana!
00:25:12The richest strike this year!
00:25:14Juliana?
00:25:16So that's where you dumped it.
00:25:19Our mistake.
00:25:20We thought it was just an abandoned hole in the ground.
00:25:23I admire your nerve, Ivers.
00:25:25This sort of changes your plans, doesn't it?
00:25:28I don't think so.
00:25:29If we could take it away from Cabot, there shouldn't be much trouble handling Hanson.
00:25:33Especially since the old man's trying to get away with it himself.
00:25:36Granted.
00:25:37Let's presume you recover the gold.
00:25:39How do you dispose of it?
00:25:41You can't go driving around the mountain with a wagonload of stolen gold.
00:25:45Larry, looks like he's got us there.
00:25:47Yeah, we never figured on that.
00:25:49Okay, Mr. Kirby.
00:25:51It's your deal.
00:25:52I thought you'd see it my way.
00:25:55Larry, since we caused all this trouble, the least we could do is help Mr. Kirby get that ore back.
00:26:00That's straight talking.
00:26:02You won't lose by it.
00:26:03Cabot, you've got yourself a couple of men worth a dozen muldoons.
00:26:07You're asking a lot of me, Silver.
00:26:09Kiss and make up with a couple of guys who pull me off my wagon and near break my neck?
00:26:13Cabot, you surprise me.
00:26:16These two Texas Tornadoes might be just what the doctor ordered.
00:26:20One way to find out is let them sit in the game, deal them a few hands and see how they play it.
00:26:25If that's the way you want it.
00:26:27That's the way I want it.
00:26:31It won't be long now before I'll be joining that millionaire club of yours, Mr. Hatton.
00:26:35Yes, sir.
00:26:36Congratulations.
00:26:37That's beautiful stuff, Hanson.
00:26:39After I get a few tons out, Mr. Sullivan, will you assay it for me so I'll know I've got a vein, not just a pocket?
00:26:43Anytime. I'll be glad to oblige.
00:26:45Thanks, thanks.
00:26:46Oh, Dad, this is wonderful.
00:26:48I can hardly believe it.
00:26:49It won't be long before we'll have that big house in Denver like we both wanted, honey.
00:26:54My gal won't have to work here much longer, Mr. Silver.
00:26:57Come on, honey, I want to talk to you alone.
00:27:00Now, listen, honey, and don't jump.
00:27:02That ore really isn't ours.
00:27:04A gang of high-gradin' skunks dumped a whole load of it down the Juliana shaft.
00:27:08Dad, and you're going to pass it off as yours?
00:27:10Oh, now you know your dad better than that.
00:27:13Little excitement you started.
00:27:15But I figured it was the best way to catch the crooks that dumped the ore on us,
00:27:18and they're sure to hijack it away from me.
00:27:20I won't have you trying to fight off hijackers.
00:27:22Then not me.
00:27:23I'll get Marshal Tethero to set a trap for him.
00:27:25That's different.
00:27:26And you're not too disappointed?
00:27:28No, Dad, and I'm proud of you.
00:27:30We'll strike it rich someday, and it'll be on the up-and-up, too.
00:27:33Sure we will.
00:27:34Now, remember, don't say a word to anybody about this, will you?
00:27:37I understand.
00:27:38And you be careful.
00:27:39I will be, honey.
00:27:40Don't you worry about your old man.
00:27:41I'll get Marshal Tethero to set a trap for him.
00:27:43Then not me.
00:27:44I'll get Marshal Tethero to set a trap for him.
00:27:46Now, remember, don't say a word to anybody about this, will you?
00:27:48I understand.
00:27:49And you be careful.
00:27:50I will be, honey.
00:27:51Don't you worry about your old man.
00:28:11You got it?
00:28:12Mm-hmm.
00:28:31It's okay.
00:28:32Open up.
00:28:33♪
00:28:40Where's Silver?
00:28:41He had dinner out. He'll be back soon.
00:28:43And I can't wait.
00:28:45Tell him this just came in from a friend of mine in Texas.
00:28:48If he wants anything done about it tonight, he knows where to find me.
00:28:50Okay Marshal.
00:28:52♪
00:29:01$1,200, Gillis. Sign the book.
00:29:03♪
00:29:28Sit in for me, will you George, while I run an errand.
00:29:30Sure, Straff.
00:29:31♪
00:29:36Good evening, Mr. Kirby.
00:29:37Evening, Ed. Nice crowd out there.
00:29:40Marshal Tetherall left a letter for you to read.
00:29:43Where?
00:29:44Right there on my desk. Sounded important.
00:29:46Something from Texas.
00:29:48♪
00:29:52There's no letter here.
00:29:54♪
00:29:56Why, he put it right down there.
00:29:58Gillis just signed the money book. He was the last man in here.
00:30:01♪
00:30:06All right, men. Get your bets down.
00:30:09♪
00:30:12Get the horses. We've got to see the Marshal right away.
00:30:14♪
00:30:33Well, I guess that does it, Marshal.
00:30:35Now you wait here till I go and get energy.
00:30:37Well, never mind. We can take it from here on.
00:30:39Now, go down it, Marshal. I want to see that order delivered just like I promised.
00:30:43Now, Hanson, let's be reasonable.
00:30:45I want to make it as easy as possible for the hijackers.
00:30:47Just me and the driver.
00:30:49Then my deputies can ride down from the hills and get them all.
00:30:52Well, me going ain't going to stop them high graders from...
00:30:54Nothing doing.
00:30:55Besides, I promised Julie I wouldn't let you take any chances.
00:30:58Now, you just ramble on back to town.
00:31:00All right. I'll go.
00:31:02But I don't like it.
00:31:04Hanson, go back to town.
00:31:06Well, I ain't going. This is my business, too.
00:31:09Energy, are you listening?
00:31:12This is my idea, and I ain't going to get froze out of it.
00:31:17Let's go.
00:31:18Come on. Come on.
00:31:20Come on, energy. Come on.
00:31:22Come on.
00:31:23I ain't going.
00:31:25I ain't going nowhere.
00:31:35Be careful.
00:31:36I ain't going just for the이s and.
00:31:38I ain't going just for theĂů
00:31:40I ain't going just for theĂů
00:31:42I ain't going just for their craooochies.
00:31:44Will you hold it.
00:31:46No.
00:31:48Cheryl, will you, will you?
00:31:50Come on, come on, energy.
00:31:52Come on. Come on. Come here.
00:32:01How are you, boys?
00:32:02Marshal.
00:32:03All right, Cabot, take it over.
00:32:05There's nothing like having the law on your side.
00:32:07All right, let's get along.
00:32:13Hi, cowboys.
00:32:14Marshal, Silver wants to see you right away.
00:32:17Did he get that letter?
00:32:18He sure did.
00:32:19He said to let all bets ride as they lie.
00:32:21He'll take care of it.
00:32:23Well, boys, have a nice trip.
00:32:27Come on, young fella.
00:32:41We've been two-timed by the onriest critter that ever wore a tin badge.
00:32:45Come on, let's get to town.
00:32:46Come on, Energy.
00:32:47I gotta go now. I got business to attend to.
00:32:49Will you come on?
00:32:50Come on, Energy. Will you come on?
00:32:52Come on.
00:33:03Ride up and tell Cabot my horse picked up a stone.
00:33:05I'll be along in a minute.
00:33:19I'll be back in a minute.
00:33:50I didn't know you were in so deep on this play, Gillis.
00:33:53I wasn't till tonight.
00:33:54That letter put me in.
00:33:56What did you make of it?
00:33:57Same as you did, Marshal.
00:33:59Ivers and his pal might be government men.
00:34:01I don't know why Silver didn't wipe them both out right there.
00:34:05I reckon it's because he never saw the letter.
00:34:08Take it easy.
00:34:10All right, Gillis, what is it?
00:34:11Federal estate.
00:34:13Secret service.
00:34:15Now, ride slow.
00:34:16Left turn.
00:34:18Well, Cripple Creek's to the right.
00:34:19I'm taking you down to Colorado Springs
00:34:21and letting an honest sheriff put you on ice till his case is closed.
00:34:24Oh, don't do that, Gillis.
00:34:26They don't give a double-dealing marshal like me an even break in this state.
00:34:29I hate crooks.
00:34:31But most of all, a sworn officer of the law with a dirty badge.
00:34:35Get going.
00:34:37Any explanations?
00:34:38Give me time and I'll think of one.
00:34:40Where's that letter?
00:34:41What letter?
00:34:43Let's go.
00:34:44What about the marshal?
00:34:45Haven't you heard?
00:34:46He died in the line of duty.
00:34:48The high graders got him.
00:35:06All right, you two, we don't need you any longer.
00:35:25You can go back to town.
00:35:26Right.
00:35:36Reckon here's where they want to stop our education.
00:35:48Yeah, I guess we'll have to work our way through college.
00:35:50Come on.
00:35:51Come on.
00:36:22Come on.
00:36:23Come on.
00:36:24Come on.

00:38:48Come on.
00:38:49Come on.
00:38:50All we need to do is try to break the chain, break this, and we break the case.
00:38:55Let's try this way.
00:39:09All right, Mr. Secret Service.
00:39:12I know all I need to know about you.
00:39:14There's one other question.
00:39:17Are Bred Ivers and Larry Galan working with you?
00:39:19Those two trigger-happy hillbillies.
00:39:25Not a chance.
00:39:26I never saw them before in my life.
00:39:29That's a good answer, Gillis.
00:39:31Let's see how long you'll stick with it.
00:39:33We're going to play a little game.
00:39:35My own version of Russian roulette.
00:39:37You ever hear of it?
00:39:41No.
00:39:42Put him over there against the wall, Lefty.
00:39:53There's one cartridge in this gun and five empty chambers.
00:39:57This slug with your name on it may be in the first or the last, or somewhere in between.
00:40:03Chief, that's one for the book.
00:40:05I thought you'd like that.
00:40:08I'm going to give you a gambling chance.
00:40:11If you give me an honest answer to my question, you walk out that door a free man.
00:40:16You expect me to believe that?
00:40:19That's another gamble you'll have to take.
00:40:23At the moment, the odds are five to one that this is an empty chamber.
00:40:28Ready, Gillis?
00:40:31How about my answer?
00:40:35Have it your way.
00:40:40That was a long shot, Gillis.
00:40:42Now it's four to one.
00:40:47Same question.
00:40:51Same answer.
00:40:59This is getting interesting.
00:41:02One of the next four, maybe the very next.
00:41:05Any change of mind?
00:41:11Here goes your three to one shot.
00:41:18Well what do you know?
00:41:20With luck like yours, a man could get rich.
00:41:23I'll lay two to one on our lucky friend from Washington.
00:41:26I'll take ten.
00:41:27Me too, boss.
00:41:28Forty to twenty it is.
00:41:31Good luck, Gillis.
00:41:33My money's on you.
00:41:38Uncle Sam has some durable employees, I'll say that for you, Gillis.
00:41:43But now we're down to cases.
00:41:46One of the next two.
00:41:48An even money bet.
00:41:50Still gambling, Gillis?
00:41:51Or do I get my honest answer?
00:41:54You had it, Silver.
00:41:57Go ahead.
00:41:58Wind it up.
00:41:59What do you say, boys?
00:42:00Double or nothing?
00:42:01You're on.
00:42:02Shoot, boss, you're fated.
00:42:03My hat's off to you, Gillis.
00:42:04I've been a gambler all my life and I've never seen a better play.
00:42:13As far as I'm concerned, you've earned a break.
00:42:30You don't believe me?
00:42:33I'm gonna turn you loose.
00:42:35That is, when my gold investments pay off.
00:42:39Take him to his room, Lefty.
00:42:49Have a good sleep, Gillis.
00:42:51You've got it coming.
00:43:09Too bad.
00:43:10He was the best faro dealer I ever had.
00:43:28That you, Gillis?
00:43:29Hi, Denver.
00:43:30Hello, gents.
00:43:31Just get back?
00:43:32Yeah, we just rolled in with a load of logs.
00:43:35Where's Gillis?
00:43:36He isn't with us anymore.
00:43:38Something happen to him?
00:43:40That skunk turned out to be a government man.
00:43:42How'd you find out?
00:43:43Marshal Tetherow got a tip-off letter from Texas from an old friend.
00:43:46What does Gillis do but steal the letter and shoot the marshal?
00:43:49Silver and I got there just in time.
00:43:51Just in time for what?
00:43:52To grab Gillis and bring him in.
00:43:54We worked him over plenty.
00:43:57Finally came through and admitted everything.
00:43:59Can you imagine a weasel like that?
00:44:01How about that?
00:44:02What'd you...
00:44:03What'd you do to him?
00:44:05I always give a game guy a break.
00:44:07I plugged him in the back so he wouldn't see it coming.
00:44:11See you downstairs.
00:44:12Right.
00:44:22Funny about that letter.
00:44:25Nobody in Texas knew Strap's business but me.
00:44:28Not even our own folks.
00:44:30That letter was about me, Lurie, not Strap.
00:44:33How do you know?
00:44:34He gave it to me last night.
00:44:36He wrote a message on it that he'd have to drop off the case and take Tetherow with him.
00:44:39Let's see it.
00:44:40I burned it back on the road when I stalled to take care of the horse's hoof.
00:44:44It's all my fault, Lurie, for holding out on you.
00:44:48You couldn't have known they'd catch up with Strap.
00:44:50All he had to do was light out for Colorado Springs with the marshal.
00:44:53He could have hung back long enough to cover the road for him.
00:44:56He didn't ask you to, did he?
00:44:58No.
00:44:59No, he just said, good luck.
00:45:03You did just what he wanted you to do.
00:45:05That's why he slipped the letter to you instead of me.
00:45:08I might have jumped in like I did on Muldoon and taken all three of us off the case.
00:45:13As it is, he covered us good.
00:45:18So let's get back on the job.
00:45:23I'll wash first, if you don't mind.
00:45:35I rubbed it in good, but it didn't seem to mean a thing to them.
00:45:41They never batted an eye.
00:45:43And in your book, they're OK?
00:45:45You know me.
00:45:46I don't buy many gold bricks, but I'm almost sold on that pair.
00:45:51Keep your wallet in your pocket until we've checked with that old friend of the marshal's
00:45:55down in Texas.
00:46:08Strap's lucky gun.
00:46:11If he'd had it on him, he might be alive today.
00:46:14Strap was only worrying about keeping the case alive.
00:46:16Now that we haven't got him as a listening post, we're on our own.
00:46:20Yeah, nobody to tip us off how close we're being watched.
00:46:24And time's running short, too.
00:46:27Somehow one of us will have to get away and down into that smelter at Buena Vista.
00:46:31Got any ideas?
00:46:33Not a glimmer.
00:46:38Hanson all slicked up.
00:46:42Looks like he's going away.
00:46:51Let's find out where he's going.
00:46:54But why didn't you explain to Mr. Stratton and the others?
00:46:57Well, doggone it, I tried to.
00:46:59But they wouldn't believe me.
00:47:00Why, the way they acted, you might think I stole that oar myself.
00:47:04And that marshal was in with that gang, too.
00:47:06I'm going to take action, that's all.
00:47:07Dad, I won't have you mixed up in this.
00:47:09It's too dangerous.
00:47:10I ain't afeard.
00:47:11I'm going to see my friend, Lieutenant Governor Jim Black.
00:47:13He and me used to prospect together.
00:47:15And when I tell him about this oar, he'll bust this gang wide open.
00:47:19Dad, please, don't.
00:47:20You just don't.
00:47:21I'm going, Julie.
00:47:22I'm going and nothing's going to stop me.
00:47:24Don't worry about your old man.
00:47:25He'll be all right.
00:47:26Goodbye.
00:47:27Looks like your dad means business.
00:47:28Yes, and I'm worried to death about him.
00:47:29I don't blame you for worrying, ma'am.
00:47:30If the wrong folks heard about that, your dad's life wouldn't be worth a nickel.
00:47:31That's what I told him.
00:47:32But his mind's made up and there's nothing I can do about it.
00:47:33I wish we could do something to help you, Miss Julie.
00:47:34I don't see how I can help you.
00:47:35I don't know what I can do.
00:47:36I don't know what I can do.
00:47:37I don't know what I can do.
00:47:38I don't know what I can do.
00:47:39I don't know what I can do.
00:47:40I don't know what I can do.
00:47:41I don't know what I can do.
00:47:42I don't know what I can do.
00:47:43I don't know what I can do.
00:47:44I don't know what I can do.
00:47:45I don't know what I can do.
00:47:46I don't know what I can do.
00:47:47I don't know what I can do.
00:47:48I don't know what I can do.
00:47:49I don't know what I can do.
00:47:50I don't know what I can do.
00:47:51I don't know what I can do.
00:47:52I don't know what I can do.
00:47:53I don't know what I can do.
00:47:54I don't know what I can do.
00:47:55I don't know what I can do.
00:47:56I don't know what I can do.
00:47:57I don't know what I can do.
00:47:58I don't know what I can do.
00:47:59I don't know what I can do.
00:48:00I don't know what I can do.
00:48:02This is the break we need.
00:48:03We'll grab old man Hanson off that stage
00:48:05and stash him away somewhere.
00:48:06How will that help?
00:48:07It'll put us in solid with silver.
00:48:09And while we're guarding Hanson,
00:48:11I'll take a shot at that Buena Vista lead.
00:48:13That's right.
00:48:14Hanson wasn't on the stage.
00:48:15A couple of guys with mass held it up
00:48:17and took the old man away.
00:48:18Well, I reckon I'm guilty, Your Honor.
00:48:20You make rather hasty decisions, don't you, Ivars?
00:48:23We had to.
00:48:24The stage had left.
00:48:25I know you didn't want Hanson stirring things up
00:48:27around Denver, so Larry and me picked him off the coach.
00:48:29Where is he?
00:48:30Larry's got him in that old trapper's cabin
00:48:32up on Tabor Mountain.
00:48:33I came in to tell you and take some supplies out to them.
00:48:36Smart thinking, Ivars.
00:48:38After all, you couldn't know that Julie Hanson
00:48:40would be foolish enough to tell us about her father.
00:48:42That's right.
00:48:43Of course, if you don't think holding the old man alive
00:48:45is safe enough...
00:48:46That's good enough for now.
00:48:47Besides, I owe him a rain check
00:48:49for helping me get back that oar that you boys lifted.
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:55Am I interrupting?
00:48:56Not at all.
00:48:57Come in, Julie.
00:49:00I was just wondering if you'd done anything about Father.
00:49:03He's in good hands.
00:49:04He's the guest of our Texas friends in a mountain lodge.
00:49:07Oh, that's wonderful.
00:49:08Thanks, Mr. Kirby.
00:49:09And thank you, Mr. Ivars.
00:49:11Only please don't tell him I had anything to do with it.
00:49:13He'd be furious with me.
00:49:15Oh, we won't, ma'am.
00:49:16Why, he doesn't even know that Mr. Kirby acted for you.
00:49:18He thinks we're members of the high graders
00:49:20and kidnapped him to keep his mouth shut.
00:49:24Thanks again, Mr. Ivars.
00:49:31Can't smoke till I get something to eat.
00:49:41Ain't enough you have to kidnap me.
00:49:43You're trying to starve me to death, too.
00:49:58Hey, where you going now?
00:49:59There's my partner with a grub.
00:50:00Just take it easy, Pop.
00:50:03Am I glad to see you.
00:50:05Hi, Larry.
00:50:06How'd you make out?
00:50:07Well, if there are any names he hasn't called me,
00:50:09I don't know what they are.
00:50:10Coffee and bacon.
00:50:11Maybe this will soften the old boy's heart.
00:50:13How'd you make out with Kirby?
00:50:14Fine.
00:50:15We're now his fair-haired playmates.
00:50:17Better get him to send me up some help.
00:50:19I can't stay awake another night listening to Hanson cuss.
00:50:22Well, stick with it until I get back.
00:50:23I'm going down to Buena now to smoke out link number two.
00:50:27See you pronto.
00:50:29All right.
00:50:59All right.

00:53:55Thanks.
00:53:56Look at how small these trees stand.
00:53:57Look at turns the head.
00:53:58Yes.
00:53:59Maybe it's truly all your fault.
00:54:00It's my fault.
00:54:01I should have been there.
00:54:03But now we see it worse.
00:54:04What?
00:54:05It's your fault.
00:54:06All right.
00:54:07Let's hurry...
00:54:08mm, mm.
00:54:09Yeah.
00:54:10The office is in a hurry.
00:54:11I'm afraid it's really your first time here.
00:54:12Well, we'll come back again.
00:54:13I'll get the wagon backed up.
00:54:14You have to make today's train to lethvat.
00:54:15All right.
00:54:16All right.
00:54:17Let it go down.
00:54:18Let it go down.
00:54:19Let it go down.
00:54:20Hey, Joe, give him a hand over here.
00:55:16I'll get back to work.
00:56:05Here you are, you grinnin' Texas hyena.
00:56:12I only wish I had some rough-on-rats to put in it.
00:56:15Appreciate that, Pop.
00:56:16And don't call me Pop, Galdanier.
00:56:19Like I said when I fought with General Ulysses Grant,
00:56:22Johnny Reb was just a no-good cuss and never will be anything else.
00:56:27And that goes for you, too.
00:56:28Now, hold it, hold it, old-timer.
00:56:29You got us all wrong.
00:56:30Hi, Brett.
00:56:31Hi, Larry.
00:56:32And just to prove it, I'm gonna send you in this afternoon
00:56:34on the train to Denver.
00:56:35What kind of new weasel pussin' you tryin' now?
00:56:38Ah, maybe we got religion and turned honest.
00:56:40Go pack your release in a hurry.
00:56:41Glory be, will I!
00:56:42I got down in among the gophers, Larry.
00:56:55Slickest operation ever pulled.
00:56:56You mean they're smelting that gold underground?
00:56:58Not only that, they're plating it to make it look like ordinary pig lead
00:57:02and shipping it out that way.
00:57:03Pig-plated gold bricks.
00:57:04Well, what do you know?
00:57:05Now, get this.
00:57:06The gold shipment's going out on the same train with you and Hanson.
00:57:10The crates are marked Pier 63, San Francisco.
00:57:13Pier 63.
00:57:14And what about Hanson?
00:57:15Well, just keep him pacified until you get him to Denver,
00:57:17and then turn him over to the U.S. Marshal there to hold his friendly custody.
00:57:20And at the same time, I follow the pig lead.
00:57:23Right.
00:57:24Now, get all the dope you can and then meet me back here at the shack.
00:57:26I'll let you know when I'm gettin' in.
00:57:28One of those love-for-mother telegrams.
00:57:30Check.
00:57:31Well, what's holdin' us up?
00:57:33I'm ready.
00:57:34And if this ain't some more monkey shines,
00:57:36why, maybe I can get the governor to let you boys off for 20 years.
00:57:39Thanks.
00:57:40Well, come on, let's get goin'.
00:57:41Come on.
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:26Hey, forget it.
00:58:27Only the boys can't do nothin'.
00:58:31Come on.
00:59:01Well, what do you know?
00:59:04The Laundry Man of Cripple Creek.
00:59:18Translate this for me, will you?
00:59:21It means, when this is in your hands,
00:59:24fulfill all obligations.
00:59:26In other words, on receipt of this, pay off.
00:59:29Yes, sir.
00:59:30Can you tell me when this will reach Cripple Creek?
00:59:33Well, let's see.
00:59:34Denver, two days.
00:59:36Colorado Springs, three.
00:59:38Stagecoach to Cripple Creek.
00:59:40It ought to be Thursday morning.
00:59:42Good.
00:59:43So will I.
00:59:44Thanks very much, Mr. Postmaster.
00:59:46Not at all.
01:00:00Your name's Havers, ain't it?
01:00:02That's right.
01:00:03The operator down at the springs sent this up to you.
01:00:06Much obliged.
01:00:07The name's Havers, ain't it?
01:00:09That's right.
01:00:10The operator down at the springs sent this up to you.
01:00:13Much obliged.
01:00:37Cabo?
01:00:38Silver.
01:00:39What are you so glum about?
01:00:41Today's payday.
01:00:42The biggest we've ever had.
01:00:43Set for 2 o'clock.
01:00:44Here's how the cuts are going to run.
01:00:46Yogurt.
01:00:47Denver, you're just in time for the big news.
01:00:49Mine's not so good, boss.
01:00:51Well, that's what I get for counting my chips
01:00:53while the game's still running.
01:00:54Go ahead, spill it.
01:00:55Sheriff Summers of Datum County
01:00:57met me halfway at Trinidad.
01:00:59That letter he wrote the marshal
01:01:00was about Ivers, not Gillis.
01:01:02It said the setup in Texas
01:01:03looked like Ivers was a government man
01:01:05working on the inside
01:01:06with the border smugglers.
01:01:07And Gillis covered for Ivers and Galland.
01:01:09A three-horse team.
01:01:10Looks that way.
01:01:11But what are they waiting for?
01:01:12They must know everything there is to know by now.
01:01:14No.
01:01:15No, they can't possibly know
01:01:16who pays us off or when it's to be.
01:01:18Could be that's what they're waiting for.
01:01:20Send a couple of men up to the cabin
01:01:21and bring in Galland and the old man
01:01:23and tell Ivers I want to see him.
01:01:26Shouldn't take us long to find out
01:01:28exactly how much they do know.
01:01:35Hey, Galland!
01:01:50Nobody here.
01:01:52It's a cold camp.
01:01:53There hasn't been anybody here for days.
01:02:05Let's go.
01:02:07Let's go.
01:02:34Hi, kid.
01:02:36Howdy.
01:02:37Where's the old man?
01:02:38Ran out on me while I was asleep.
01:02:40I just went after him.
01:02:42Saddlebags?
01:02:45You boys get funny ideas, don't you?
01:03:06Hi, Ivers.
01:03:08Hi, Cabot.
01:03:09I figured you might be here.
01:03:11Yeah, I was just looking for my pal, Larry.
01:03:13Oh, he's gone out in the boys.
01:03:15Say, Silver wants to see us all there.
01:03:17This is payday.
01:03:18Now, don't you worry.
01:03:19You'll get a good look.
01:03:20He'll be right back.
01:03:21All right.
01:03:22I'll wait.
01:03:23I'll wait.
01:03:24I'll wait.
01:03:25I'll wait.
01:03:26I'll wait.
01:03:27I'll wait.
01:03:28I'll wait.
01:03:29I'll wait.
01:03:30I'll wait.
01:03:31I'll wait.
01:03:32I'll wait.
01:03:33I'll wait.
01:03:34I'll wait.
01:03:35This is payday.
01:03:36A big payoff, eh?
01:03:39Sounds mighty fine.
01:03:41You said it.
01:03:42Looks like there's been a fight in the cabin.
01:03:44You sure Larry's all right?
01:03:45Sure he is.
01:03:46I passed him on the way up.
01:03:48Funny I didn't.
01:03:50They took the cutoff.
01:03:52Come on, I'll show you.
01:03:55Maybe it was old man Hanson who put up the fight.
01:03:57How did he look?
01:03:58Oh, fine and dandy.
01:03:59Still passing everybody in sight.
01:04:05All I want to know, Galand, is where you went with the old man.
01:04:28And whether you and Ivers have sent for any help.
01:04:30Keep on trying, Silver.
01:04:32I may break down any minute.
01:04:44Our obstinate young friend has told me more than he realizes.
01:04:47If you were expecting help, you'd be bragging about it.
01:04:50I think it's safe to go ahead with the payoff.
01:04:53In the meantime, keep our friend well entertained.
01:05:02Hello, Ivers.
01:05:20Cabot tell you the good news?
01:05:21Yeah, he sure did.
01:05:22I'm giving a little party in honor of the occasion.
01:05:25Go on up and join the boys.
01:05:26I'll be back in a little while.
01:05:29Enjoy yourselves.
01:05:32You first, Cabot.
01:05:49Hold it.
01:05:52Get rid of those guns.
01:05:53Left hand.
01:05:57Untie him.
01:05:58Everybody's payday but ours.
01:05:59Is that the idea, Denver?
01:06:00It's your play, Ivers.
01:06:01Spread your cards on the table.
01:06:02Okay, you're all under arrest.
01:06:05Hold it.
01:06:06Get him up.
01:06:09Take him down to the miners committee and let them take care of him.
01:06:11All right, get moving.
01:06:27He's a fool.
01:08:28Okay, get up.
01:08:33I'm gonna save you for the hang.
01:08:35This brat would like it better that way.
01:08:38Okay, let's go.
01:08:39Come on, get up.
01:08:58Gentlemen, I'm speaking to you as agent of the U.S. Secret Service.
01:09:06These men are leaders of the high graders.
01:09:09Mr. Hatton, I'm placing them in your charge.
01:09:13Take over.
01:09:14I'll be very glad to do so.
01:09:17Moore, Johnson, Hibbs.
01:09:28Well, kid, there's only one chance now to complete our case.
01:09:32If Silver Curvey is still around, he may try to collect the payoff.
01:09:35The Chinese laundry is a spot to watch.
01:09:37I learned that in Frisco.
01:09:39What are we waiting for?
01:09:45Well, at least Miss Julie don't have to do her own washing.
01:09:59You don't get your laundry in the back room.
01:10:01Can she be in on this too?
01:10:15You'd better leave too.
01:10:20There's no telling how much they found out.
01:10:22If they don't know about you, they couldn't have any suspicions about me.
01:10:26And my market for unlisted gold is inexhaustible.
01:10:28Sorry, Mr. Sullivan, but the market is closed.
01:10:30I'll take that back, Julie.
01:10:34Not a payoff, Larry.
01:10:36All in brand new U.S. yellowbacks.
01:10:39You're a prisoner of the government you were supposed to serve, Mr. James C. Sullivan.
01:10:42Sir, the name is James Chang Sullivan.
01:10:45And I only owe allegiance to my mother's country.
01:10:48By now, the gold is well on its way to the Dowager Empress of China.
01:10:51Sorry to disappoint you, but by now it's in the mint in San Francisco.
01:10:56Take our Oriental friends to the miners' committee while I ask Mr. Hanson some questions.
01:11:01Drop that gun, Gallant.
01:11:05Julie, dear, take that bag out to the buckboard and wait for me.
01:11:10Give her the bag, Ivers.
01:11:12Julie can't stand bloodshed.
01:11:15Not a bad try for a gal who can't stand bloodshed.
01:11:27He was my husband.
01:11:34All right, Larry, take her away.
01:11:36I'll get the loot.
01:11:45What a foolish pair of young men you are.
01:11:47There's a half million in that bag and the possibility of much more to come.
01:11:51I'll bet he could even get us an introduction to the Empress of China.
01:11:54I'll bet he could.
01:11:57That's too bad, Larry.
01:11:58We're just a couple of chumps.
01:12:00Born to die poor, but honest.
01:12:03Yeah, I reckon that's about the most money we ever don't get as long as we live.
01:12:07Good afternoon, gentlemen.
01:12:08Am I wrong or are my services again in demand?
01:12:11You get around fast, don't you?
01:12:13In my profession, it pays to keep one's ear attuned to the bark of a six gun.
01:12:17If this keeps up, I really have to put you two on a commission basis.
01:12:22Thank you again, gentlemen.
01:12:26Well, if we ever need one, we got a job.
01:12:43So
01:12:53do
01:13:08reach
01:13:12me
01:13:22Turn around.
01:13:23Easy line.
01:13:29Larry!
01:13:29Kind of jumpy, ain't you, Brad?
01:13:31That Texas lingo of yours had me fooled.
01:13:32I thought the panhandle boys were...
01:13:34Well, Chief Bromley.
01:13:35Hello, Ivers.
01:13:36Glad to see you, sir.
01:13:37So you did get my wire after all.
01:13:39I got it all right, but I had quite a time following your instructions.
01:13:42When you didn't reach Ratoon on time,
01:13:44Galland and I started on to see what had happened to you.
01:13:46Every peace officer in Texas was after my scalp for that border job.
01:13:49How come you didn't clear me with the state authorities?
01:13:51It's better this way, Brett.
01:13:53Your Texas reputation may help a lot on that Cripple Creek case.
01:13:56Oh, so that's where we're going.
01:13:57It's the biggest gold stealing case in history.
01:13:59They're getting away with tons of it.
01:14:01Well, how can they hope to sell tons of gold in the United States?
01:14:04They don't.
01:14:04They're smuggling it out of the country.
01:14:06Sounds like a big job.
01:14:08Big and dangerous.
01:14:09More than a dozen local peace officers have already been killed.
01:14:11Merely trying to stop the high graders.
01:14:13Is that as far as they got?
01:14:14Yes, but that's only the first link.
01:14:16And we want every link in that chain.
01:14:18But most of all, the men who engineered the scheme and arranged the payoff.
01:14:21Is this big bronc the only help I'm to have?
01:14:23Now, ain't that nice?
01:14:25You won't go wrong with Larry.
01:14:27But you'll...
01:14:27Some of it.
01:14:28Where do we pick him up?
01:14:29He's already in Cripple Creek.
01:14:30Giving it the once over.
01:14:31Any report from him yet?
01:14:32Nothing definite.
01:14:33But he spotted one of the toughest gangs in the West.
01:14:35The Muldoon outfit.
01:14:37Working for the Cabot Liberty Stable.
01:14:39Well, that might be a lead, sir.
01:14:40Maybe.
01:14:41Anyhow, Strapp suggests that a couple of new gunfighters and outlaws
01:14:45might find it easy to make a hookup.
01:14:47Well, with Billy the Kid here as a partner, I can't miss.
01:14:49But don't force your hand.
01:14:51The right people will spot you soon enough.
01:14:52Where do we find Strapp?
01:14:53Don't try.
01:14:54He'll be watching for you.
01:14:55Let him make the contact.
01:14:56Well, that's all I have to tell you.
01:14:57From here on, you're on your own.
01:14:59Thanks, Chief.
01:14:59And I'm counting on the three of you.
01:15:01Thank you, sir.
01:15:10Hey!
01:15:22Which way to the Liberty Stable, friend?
01:15:24Liberty Stable is right down there at the end of the street.
01:15:27Honey, Jake, three wagons to go back to the woodcutters' camp tonight.
01:15:32Fresh horses and sober drivers.
01:15:34Yes, boss.
01:15:37You early, Muldoon.
01:15:38We don't roll for a couple of hours.
01:15:39We won't roll at all till we get our pay for those last three jobs.
01:15:43You get your pay when I get mine, not before.
01:15:47We want ours now or you can get yourself a new crew.
01:15:51Nobody quits this outfit.
01:15:55I'll see the boss. Go ahead.
01:16:05Stable your ponies, gents. Thanks, we'll take care of them for you.
01:16:09Any ideas to where we can get a room around here? It's hard to say.
01:16:12Town's overcrowded. Might try over the Silver Palace.
01:16:17Bunch of lies. Customers, Jake.
01:16:32Running as much as sixty thousand dollars alone
01:16:34was simply disappearing in the thin rocky mountain air.
01:16:53They got Sam the driver, two of the mine crew, unwounded, four others besides me.
01:16:57Well, couldn't you identify any of them? No, Marshal, they were all masked.
01:17:00That's the tenth wagon load of my richest whore that's been hijacked this month.
01:17:03And six loads of mine never got to the smelter.
01:17:06The way they select only the richest whore, you'd think they had access to my
01:17:09secret assay reports. I think you gentlemen should appeal to
01:17:12your senators in Washington. What do you suggest, Sullivan?
01:17:16Well, it's a government assay. I must agree with the Marshal.
01:17:19The loss of gold in such quantities is a matter of national concern.
01:17:23Gentlemen, I think that's a good idea. They were right about that.
01:17:28It was a matter of national concern. For this year of 1893 was one of financial
01:17:33depression and near panic. The country's gold reserve had reached
01:17:37such a low ebb that President Cleveland placed an embargo
01:17:40on the sale and shipment of that precious metal to foreign nations.
01:17:44Every ounce of gold was needed by the national treasury.
01:17:48So the problem of the wholesale looting of Cripple Creek Mines
01:17:51became the immediate and urgent business of the United States Secret Service.
01:18:33So
01:18:53What'll it be, Jens? What do you see about getting a room here?
01:18:56Ask the boss there, Mr. Kirby. Mr. Kirby?
01:19:00Better known as Silver Kirby. What can I do for you, gentlemen?
01:19:03We'd like to get a room. Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we're all
01:19:06filled up. Clevery man Cabot figured you might be
01:19:10able to take care of us. Oh, I see. Then you boys must have ridden
01:19:14up from the valley tonight. Yeah, 40-mile day.
01:19:16It's a long pull. Let's see if we can't do something for you.
01:19:20Julie!
01:19:26Have we a canceled reservation available for these gentlemen?
01:19:29Why, yes. We had a room ready for Mr. McKee, but he's gone back to Victor.
01:19:32Well, boys, it looks like you're in luck. Come along, gentlemen. I'll show you the
01:19:36way. Thanks, ma'am. And thank you for being so
01:19:38accommodating. Glad to oblige. That's what we're here for.
01:19:52I wonder what Cabot saw in those two to worry about.
01:19:56Maybe it's the way they sling their artillery. Texas style.
01:19:59Low and handy.
01:20:03I suppose you boys came here hoping to get rich quickly like all the others.
01:20:06No, ma'am. We just drifted up from Texas to take in the sights of Cripple Creek.
01:20:10Yeah, and we sure like what we've seen so far.
01:20:14They must have moved the Blondie Stone to Texas. Here's the room.
01:20:18We had it ready for Mr. McKee. He owns the gold dollar mine. So at least you
01:20:21boys will sleep in a millionaire's bed. Yeah, it looks real cozy-like.
01:20:25Thanks, Miss Julie. Not at all. It's part of my job. Now, if you'll give me your
01:20:29names, I'll register for you. Ivers is mine.
01:20:31Burt Ivers. This is Larry Galante. Mine's Julie Hanson.
01:20:35Good night. Good night, Miss Julie. Night, man.
