mending it does now

tinker some mornings it don't even pay

to get

up Captain Tyson will swear you in as a

state policeman but actually you'll be

working undercover for me you play it my

way and we'll uh forget about

this well uh just what is your way I

want to know every move that Homer Ross

makes after the way you protected Tommy

today it should be easy for you to gain

his confidence any objections if I make

a few dollars on the

side you string along with us you make

plenty how was a deal report to me after

you've seen Ross all

[Applause]

right so you see Bill there's nothing

else I can do to protect CLA and got to

play at Tracy bont's with no you haven't

Dad you can fight forget Tommy and me

we've never let you down and if you do

this you're letting us down suppose we

do lose the ranch we can get another one

some way I know how you feel Claire but

you don't know what it means to start

all over in times like these I can solve

this problem how Run Tracy Bowmont out

of town that's a wonderful thought bill

but you've never carried a gun in your

life and there plenty of men who kill

for Tracy Bowmont I can try oh no bill

if anybody goes after Tracy bont I will

there's a better way than that Mr

Ross accept the appointment as police

commissioner then use that job to get

all the evidence you can to put Bowmont

in the state police out of business

legally that's smart Homer and dangerous

too you won't be alone I'll never be far

away and there plenty of others working

with me just spread the word quietly to

the honest ranchers that they can trust

Durango hel I said it won't be long

before the Texas rang is right again

[Music]

I think Homer Ross is in on this

someplace buff I don't know how you

figure it he sign the tax warrant as

meak as a lamb sure knowing Durango

would break up the raids if this sort of

thing keeps up we'll have a vigilante

movement to fight that's what I've been

afraid of right now this Webster can be

dangerous so this is the next warrant I

want you to

[Applause]

serve

you're going to look mighty dressed up

around here I've been

wanting got something here for you

Webster your tax bill $500 well that's

ridiculous yeah well maybe that's

ridiculous too what is it Bill a tax

warrant honey a warrant that's right

gives me authority to seize all visible

assets and payment of that tax bill for

$500 that must be some mistake Tyson

there's no mistake it may make you show

a little more respect for the State

Police oh oh I see I refuse to pay you'd

have broken my heart if you hadn't

Webster all right boys start moving his

equipment out and you don't have to be

too careful you can't wreck a man's

business I can wreck the man if I have

to don't argue with him Bill we'll get

Dad he can fix it somehow he couldn't

fix

nothing don't Bill he'd love the chance

to shoot

you hold it man might as well take along

a

posie

for

them what was that shooting buff Durango

he jumped as at Websters ran off our

horses Durango again and this will make

her more popular than ever with the

people who hate us I tell you we we've

got to stop that buff I've got it I hope

it works better in your plan to shut

Webster up it will tomorrow you and the

boys will move out as usual but instead

of going to the next place on the list

you double back here and knock over the

bank but Tracy it's your bank I can pick

my own pocket if I want to besides

there's $330,000 of State funds in there

you think we can get away with it I'll

say we can because your boys will be

masked and you'll be dressed as the

Durango kid and we blame it on him

exactly then I announce that the bank

has been cleaned out and close it to the

depositors you've got it Tracy every

honest citizen with a dollar in that

bank will be yelling for Durango scalp

and you can start your manh heart with

plenty of willing help and we're rid of

Durango but where do I stash the money

after the hold up during the excitement

you can slip back here and hide it in my

safe you can hide your Durango clothes

in that closet until things quiet down

I'll start getting things ready right
