[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GUN SHOTS]

- Did you get what you
was after, Blacky?

- Yeah.

Let's get out of here
before somebody sees us.

SINGING: --county, the
bask of hills of sand,

down the Engine Nation
and up the Rio Grande.

But the Bad Lands way up yonder
are the worst I've ever seen,

the cowboys are all
[INAUDIBLE] and [INAUDIBLE].

But we're in the Bad Lands
for six months in the year.

While all your [INAUDIBLE],
there's nothing left but fear.

Come all you Texas cowboys,
[INAUDIBLE], as long

as you go to Montana to
spend your money real.

But stay at home in Texas
when you work the year around,

and you'll never get pneumonia
by sleeping on the ground.

You'll never get pneumonia
by sleeping on the ground.

- Hey, what's the matter, Stubby?

My singin' gettin' you down?

- No.

It's hate that ticks.

But every time I
hear that song, it

makes me think of
my third wife, and I

get all itchy and [INAUDIBLE].

That is her favorite song.

- Man, you must of had
a good wife, Stubby.

- The only thing good
about her was her husband.

[CHUCKLES]

- Hey.

Hey, Stubby.

Looks like a loose team.

Let's take a look
up the road, Stubby.

Maybe we can find
out what happened.

- Who it it, Tex?

-[INAUDIBLE], it's Tom Wilson.

-[INAUDIBLE].

- What happened, Tom?

- Hello, Tex.

What are you doin'
this part the country?

- He's slipping fast.

- Yeah.

Listen to me, Tom, listen.

Who shot ya?

Who was it?

The masked riders.

You got to help me, Tex.

[INAUDIBLE]

Red Eye.

Papers.

They're valuable.

They're-- they're--

- The masked riders.

- The boys have been gone
pretty long, [INAUDIBLE].

You don't suppose something
going to happen, do ya?

- No.

Not with Blacky there isn't.

- I wouldn't be too
sure about that.

Blacky's got [INAUDIBLE].

I'd keep my eye on
him if I were you.

- Yeah?

Get that deed?

The big boss is going to be
mighty pleased when he sees this.

You have any trouble?

- It was a cinch.

I took care of Old
Man Wilson myself.

- Good.

Now we can get rid of a few
more of these troublemakers

around here.

We'll have Red Eye and the Four
Star pretty much to ourself.

- I don't like to
say anything, Tex.

But somehow or another, I got
a feeling we were riding right

smack dab into a hornets nest.

- So have I.

- We don't know
anybody around here.

And we got good jobs waiting
for us at Rock Creek.

- Stubby, Tom Wilson
was one of my dad's

best and oldest friends.

Mine too.

Taught my how to rope steers
when I was just a kid.

And I aim to find out
who got him and why.

Well, if you don't want to blow
them with me you can go ahead.

- Oh now, Tex, you know I ain't
going nowhere without you.

- Well thanks, Stubby, thanks.

Now let's go in
there and find out

how to get to the
Four Star Mines.

- Good idea.

My whistle needs to be wettened.

- What'll it be, gents?

- Well, uh--

- Give me a nice great
big tall refreshing

glass of [INAUDIBLE].

- Forella.

- Oh, Tex, [INAUDIBLE] forella?

- That's forella.

Same for me.

- That's forella.

- But the way, bartender, we're
strangers in these parts.

Maybe you can help us out.

We're looking for
the Four Star Mine.

- Did you hear that?

- Yeah, they're strangers.

- Four Star, huh?

- Yes.

- I wonder if they could
have-- [INAUDIBLE].

- Why yes, just north of here.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- What's you're claim on the
Four Star Mine, stranger?

- I, uh, was looking for
Dan [INAUDIBLE], why?

- Nothing.

[INAUDIBLE], we ain't partial
to strangers around here,

particularly those who come
sulking their nose into things

that's none of their business.

Now if you were smart,
you'll forget the Four Star.

- Well, maybe I'm not smart.

But I do mind my own business.

- Well, if tellin' ya don't do
you any good, maybe this will!

- All right, handle
it the hard way.

I'd figure you'd boys would try
to pull something like this,

so I was waiting for you.

Now don't make a move.

At a boy, Tex!

Knew you could handle them.

- Thank you, Stubby.

I don't know what I'd
of done without ya.

- Wait a minute!

What's going on here?

What's this all about, Morton?

- I think I can explain it.

Come over to the bar.

Here's your troublemakers.

These two fellows blew in
here and started something.

- Well, that's it, eh?

- We stopped four
[INAUDIBLE] again, Sheriff.

These two fellows came in here
asking the way to the mine.

Except [INAUDIBLE] up there.

We tried to talk them out of it
and they started an argument.

- Now listen, Sheriff.

I didn't start an argument.

This fellow don't know
what he's talking about.

[INAUDIBLE] who gave us orders
not to let anyone go up there.

The boys were just
doing their duty.

- I see.

There's been a lot of
[INAUDIBLE] up there lately.

Fires, shootings, and killings.

And we don't aim to
have any more of it.

If I catch you
hanging around there,

it won't be easy for you.

So take my advice, young fellow,
and stay in your own backyard.

- All right, Sheriff.

You're the boss.

Let's go, Stubby.

Well, Stubby, that's
my idea of a fine town.

We sure were welcome.

- Yeah.

Just like [INAUDIBLE].

- I don't like the
looks of those fellows.

Don't you think you better
keep an eye on them?

- Maybe I have.

- Say, there's something screwy
about this whole set up.

Why do you suppose the
sheriff and all of them

wanted to keep us away
from the Four Star?

- I don't know.

But the best place I know to
find our it the Four Star.

So let's go.

- And I thought you were tough.

The big boss isn't
going to like it

when he hears how
you handled this.

- What do I care
about the big boss?

Besides, how do I know
there is a big boss?

- You'll find out soon enough.

- Well, what are you starting at?

- And that guy
ordered sarsaparilla.

- There they are!

And headed straight
for the mines.

Just as sure are you're born.

Come on then.

- Hey, Tex.

Look at the Sheriff's
[INAUDIBLE].

- Yeah.

I've been expecting them.

Come on.

- Stay were you are.

Put up your hands.

- Holy cow, it's a girl.

- Who are you and what
do you want up here?

- Well, if you don't mind, we'd
like to ask you the same thing.

- Nevermind that.

Who are you?

- Well, my name is Tex Martin.

That's my partner Stubby.

- Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

- We were just on my way to the
Four Star mine to see a friend.

- Friend?

Who?

- A Dan Farley.

You know him?

- Oh course.

He's my Uncle Tom's partner.

- Is tom Wilson your uncle?

- That's right.

Why?

Did something happen?

- He was shot.

- Shot?

- Yeah.

Killed.

And his last words were for us
to head to the Four Star mine

and see Dan Farley.

- I knew he shouldn't
have taken that trip.

I had a feeling that--

- Feeling?

What do you mean?

- Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Follow me and I'll
show you the mine.

- Well, what can I
do for you, Sheriff?

- Did you see anything of a
couple of strange trail folks

around here, [INAUDIBLE]?

- No, I haven't.

Why?

- Well, they're trouble makers.

I'm pretty sure they're
headed this way.

- What did they look like?

- Ones a tall and
lengthy individual

and rides a white horse.

His partner is
short, fat, and wide.

- I see anything of them,
I'll let you know, Sheriff.

- Thanks.

- Nancy, what are you
doing with these men?

- They're all right, Dan.

They're friends of Uncle Tom.

- You know the sheriff was
just here looking for them?

- Well-- well, I think I can
explain that, Mr. Farley.

- Nevermind that.

What do you want up here?

- They found Uncle Tom
murdered on the ridge road

and came up here to notify us.

- Tom?

Murdered?

- I was afraid of that.

Well, I wish there was something
I could do, Mr. Farley.

- Sometimes I almost
wish they'd succeed

in taking the Four
Star away from us.

Then perhaps we'd have a
little peace around here.

- Oh.

What is the real trouble
up here, Mr. Farley?

- The masked riders.

They burned, looted, killed
everywhere and everybody.

I guess we've been
about the hardest hit.

And not it looks as if
they'd paid the trump card.

They've got Tom and they've
probably taken the deed

to the min, because
he had it with him.

- He was going to Silver Springs
to mortgage the property so we

could buy some more
mine equipment.

- Yes.

And with that in
their possession,

it's only a question
of time til they'll

force us out of here completely.

- Oh.

That mine must be a pretty
valuable piece of property

the way they're going after it.

I'd like to have a look at it.

- I'd be glad to show you around.

You want to go along?

- Sure do.

The sooner, the better.

- All right.

- Hey, this is some lay out.

It's all right.

- How do you do, Nancy?

- This is Bill Dawson.

Tex Martin.

-[INAUDIBLE], Mr. Martin.

-[INAUDIBLE], sir.

- Mr. Dawson's our mine foreman.

- If you're planning on
going through the mine,

you'll find a lighted
lantern just inside the shed.

- That's fine.

Thanks.

Would you like some [INAUDIBLE]?

- I'd be glad to.

- Dan says it isn't worth
much, but it would really

give us a living
until [INAUDIBLE].

SINGING: A riding ole paint
and a leading ole Dan.

Goin to Montana, gonna
pull the moon half.

Leading the [INAUDIBLE] and
the water in [INAUDIBLE].

Feeling romantic,
the bags are all raw.

Ride around you [INAUDIBLE],
let's ride around slow.

For the [INAUDIBLE] are
rare in [INAUDIBLE].

Now poor Bill Jones had
two daughters and a son.

One went to Denver,
and the other Tucson.

One was killed in
a [INAUDIBLE] fire.

Still he couldn't take in
from morning til night.

Ride around you
little [INAUDIBLE],

just ride around slow.

For the [INAUDIBLE] are
rare in [INAUDIBLE].

Oh, when I die, take my
saddle from the wall.

Put it on my pony and
lead him from snow.

From [INAUDIBLE] to the saddle,
turn our faces to the west.

And travel the road
that we love best.

Ride around you
little [INAUDIBLE],

just ride around slow.

For the [INAUDIBLE] are
rare in [INAUDIBLE].

Ride around you
little [INAUDIBLE],

just ride around slow.

For the [INAUDIBLE] are
rare in [INAUDIBLE].

- That was beautiful, Tex.

- Well, thank you, Nancy.

I'm-- I'm glad you liked it.

- Don't you think we'd better
be getting back to the house?

- Well, just cause you say.

Thank you.

- You know, Dan, when I was
punchin cattle for the O'Doyle

outfit down there in Texas,
I won the roping contest

three years in [INAUDIBLE].

They made me the
mayor of St. Angelo.

They called me the
political cowboy.

- But the way, Mr.
Farley, do you know

anything about a
feller name Morton?

Runs a saloon in Red Eye.

- Not much, except
him and his gang

are good people
to stay away from.

Why?

- Oh, I was just wondering.

[GUN SHOT]

[DOG CRYING]

[GUN SHOTS]

- It's the masked riders.

[GUN SHOTS]

- Ow!
- What's the matter, Stubby?

You hurt?

- Yes.

Fell through, about sprained
my ankle on that [INAUDIBLE].

- Well, I got one of them.

He's right over there.

May be interesting
to see who he is.

It's Dawson.

- I can't believe it.

He was one of my
most trusted men.

- Bill Dawson, a masked rider?

- You better bring him
up to the house, boys.

- I'll get some whiskey.

They ought to bring him around.

I can't understand it.

- Well, it is sort of puzzling.

If they want the mine
so bad, why don't they

come out in the open and
fight for it like men?

- There must be
something we can do.

- I'm afraid he's done for.

- I think I've got an idea
that might force their hand.

- Anybody that could put
those masked riders on the run,

the way Tex Martin did the
other night at the Four Star,

is the man for us.

Why, we all saw
with our own eyes

what he did to Blacky
Devlin a couple of days ago.

Why, that man ain't
afraid of anything.

[INAUDIBLE] organize and drive
out these killers and outlaws.

All we needed was a leader.

And I'm here to tell ya, now
we've got one in Tex Martin.

[CHEERING]

- Go visit Tex Martin and tell
him mind his own business.

- We have.

He wants to stay healthy.

- Don't forget, Jake, he's
pretty fast on the trigger.

Watch out.

- The counsel organized
those vigilantes,

and Tex Martin is in the lead.

- Well, that's his game.

Tell the gang meet at
the same place tonight.

- And that's our
proposition, Tex.

Will you lead us?

- Well uh-- Well, I
can't think of nothin

I'd like to do better.

You can count on me.

[CHEERING]

- That's all we wanted to know.

When do we ride?

- Well uh-- the time
ain't right yet.

But I'll let you know just
as soon as we're ready.

- Good.

We'll all been expecting
to hear from ya.

[CHEERING]

- Hey, Tex, what's our next move?

- Well uh, I think we'll
drop in on Morton later on.

We might find out something.

-[INAUDIBLE], you darling!

It's so good to see you.

What you doing in Red Eye?

-[INAUDIBLE].

Say, I ain't seen you since you used
to dance at the old Silver Moon.

- Oh, you remembered, eh?

- Aw, how could I forget it.

Oh, I want you to meet
my partner Tex Martin.

- So pleased to meet you, senor.

- How do you do?

- You sing, huh?

- No, no, no, no, no.

I don't.

- Maybe you'll sing [INAUDIBLE].

Yes?

This senor will sing for us.

- What do you want
us to play for you?

- Well uh, uh-- do you boy
know "Ride, Ride, Ride"?

- Sure.

- Well, that'll do, I guess.

- I wonder what he's
sneaking around here for.

- Yeah.

[INAUDIBLE] he
ain't up to no good.

SINGING: The moon is
sort of hazy tonight.

My bones are sort
of lazy tonight.

I'm a lonely roamer,
heading for home.

Dreaming of my
sweetheart tonight.

I'll ride, ride, ride til I hit
the trails that take me back

to Texas to my
gal I left behind,

who's a watchin and a
waitin there for me.

I'll ride, ride, ride
down the trail to home.

I'll be courting down
in Texas with the gal

I left behind, when
I ride, ride, ride.

I'm going to marry who?

The gal that's contrary who.

She lives on the prairie who.

We'll settle down in
a home on the range.

And I'll ride, ride, ride
down the lone star trail.

And I'll straddle my old
saddle on the [INAUDIBLE],

and [INAUDIBLE] with the cattle
when the moon begins to shine.

He'll [INAUDIBLE]
to the gal I left

behind when I ride, ride, ride.

I'm going to marry who?

The gal that's contrary who.

She lives on the prairie who.

We'll settle down in
a home on the range.

Just ride, ride, ride, ride
down the lone star trail.

And I'll straddle my old
cattle on the [INAUDIBLE]

and [INAUDIBLE] til the
moon begins to shine.

Then skeedaddle back
to cattle to the gal I left

behind when I ride, ride, ride.

[APPLAUSE]

- Oh, you are wonderful.

The song fits beautifully.

- Well, thank you.

Thank you, Rosita.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- Wait a minute.

We're being followed.

- I don't hear nothing.

- Then I reckon it's
just the coyotes.

Come on.

- Men, we have a special
problem to consider tonight.

The big boss is mighty
pleased with the way

things have been going so far.

Red Eye is sealed up tight.

The ranchers and miners
are about to give in.

But, before we can drive them
out and take over the Four

Star, we've got an
obstacle to overcome.

As you know, the townsman
are organizing of vigilante.

And Martin's leading them.

We've got to break them up.

And there's just
one way to do it.

-[INAUDIBLE], report.

- There's one too many men here.

- Are you sure?

- I know it.

- Guard that entrance!

Men, there's a spy here.

Everyone, [INAUDIBLE] unmask.

[INAUDIBLE]

- There he goes!

Get your horses.

- Wait a minute.

Don't shoot!

It's me, Tex.

- You, a masked rider?

- Well, now-- now don't
get me wrong, Nancy.

I--

- So you sold us out, coming
up here, posing as our friend?

- Well, I tell ya, I'm
not a masked rider.

- Then why are you
dressed up like one?

- There he is, Sheriff.

- Good work, Dan.

I see you've got one of them.

So, it's you?

I might have expected it.

- But you're all wrong, Sheriff.

I'm no masked rider.

- That's what they all say.

- But you've got to
listen to me, Sheriff.

It's important.

Let me explain.

- You can do your explaining
in court, Martin.

- Shh.

[WHISTLING]

Morning, deputy.

- Morning.

- Nice day, ain't it?

- Yeah.

- You [INAUDIBLE].

You've got a major
responsible position

guarding this here jail.

- Yeah, that's right.

- Yes sir.

I tell you it takes balls to
handle this end of the law.

I've been a watchin ya.

The folks around here are
beginning to talk about you.

- They have?

- Mm.

From what I hear,
you are in line

to be the next sheriff
of this county.

But don't tell
anybody I told you.

- Well, I won't say a word.

- Well, also, you've gotta do
something but to convince them.

And I got just the thing.

- What's that?

- Well, it's a good job, and
it takes a good man to do it.

That's why I come to you.

Nobody [INAUDIBLE] but you.

- Thanks.

Sure is nice of you.

- Oh, that's all right.

Anyway, will you
help Tex out of jail?

I need you.

I want to help you.

And you're our one
person in there.

- What is it?

- Now, here's the low-down.

[INAUDIBLE] all
the masked riders.

[INAUDIBLE]

- Hey, wait a minute!

- Well, thank you,
Stubby, for getting

my out of the [INAUDIBLE].

- Oh, that's all right, Tex.

But I thought he was going
to talk himself to death,

trying to keep that to
keep that interested.

He's a real [INAUDIBLE].

- Yeah.

Just about as dumb as you.

- Yeah.

Dumb?

- Now listen, Stubby,
you sit here.

Are you sure you
know what to do?

- Sure.

- All right.

I'll meet you at
[INAUDIBLE] Valley.

- Right.

[DOG BARKING]

- Well, men, we're going to clean
out that gang once and for all.

But we got a fight on our hands.

Are you with me?

[CHEERING]

All right, let's go!

- There's only one thing to do.

Tex [INAUDIBLE].

We've got to go down there,
pull him out of jail,

and string him up
before he can talk.

He ever gets on
the witness stand

and tells what he
saw here last night--

-[INAUDIBLE].

Tex broke jail.

- What?

- He's leading the
vigilantes now.

They're out for blood.

- Same business.

We've got to get
the jump on them.

Beat them at their own game.

It's our only chance.

Come on!

[GUN SHOTS]

[YELLING]

- Now wait.

Bill, I was just going--

[GUN SHOT]

- Stop right there.

[GUN SHOT]

- All right, Martin, get him out.

- I thought I'd find you here.

- Howdy, Sheriff.

I was just hoping
you'd come along.

Sorry I had to break
out of your cracker box,

but you made a mistake
and I had to prove it.

Here's the man you want.

- Why, it's Dan.

- So that's the answer.

- You haven't got anything on me.

- Wait a minute!

I suspected you from the start.

Ever since the first
day I saw the mine.

And Nancy showed
me a sample of oil

that you claimed was worthless.

Just by looking at it, I could
tell it was worth $500 a ton.

- If what you say is
true, then Farley

is responsible for
murder of Tom Wilson.

- That's right, and Dawson too.

He gave him poisoned
whiskey when

he thought he was going to talk.

You got anything to say
for yourself, Farley?

- I've heard enough, take
him away, [INAUDIBLE].

- But I don't understand.

Why would [INAUDIBLE]?

- To drive you out, Nancy.

You see, Farley was the
brains of a big organization

of thieves and cut-throats.

They were trying to get
control of this entire valley,

and they almost did it.

- But how did you manage to
keep undercover so long?

- Well, that was easy.

You see, the mine shaft
connects with this hideout here.

You could come and
go as you pleased

without being discovered.

- Well, I guess that about
explains everything.

But it sure beats me.

- It would.

- Yeah.

What?

SINGING: I'll ride, ride, ride,
ride down the trail to home.

I'll be courting down
in Texas with a gal

I left behind when
I ride, ride, ride.

I'm going to marry who?

A gal that's contrary who.

She lives on the prairie who.

We will settle down in
a home on the range.

I'll ride, ride, ride, ride
down the lone star trail.

And I'll straddle my old
saddle on the [INAUDIBLE].

And I'll [INAUDIBLE] til
the moon begins to shine.

And [INAUDIBLE]
with the gal I left

behind when I ride, ride, ride.
