[Music]

com there had been years since I had

been down here in the Border District at

last Cruis but I remembered it well

because some of the finest saddle horses

in the country came from this part of

the

Southwest my saddle pal red coners and I

were down here on government

business 3 weeks ago the Army had made a

deal with the owners of the Whitley

Ranch for more than 600 horses to be

used for Cavalry

mounts and just 3 days ago the Whitley

outfit had sent word that they couldn't

deliver the entire Roundup had been

stolen trouble was brewing in Cuba that

country country was to begin a fight for

freedom and since the US was ready to

step in on Cuba's side those horses were

needed right now my mission was to find

them and see that they got to the rail

head just ahead was the Whitley ranch

house where I meant to begin my job by

questioning the foreman who had been in

charge when the horses were

stolen how did this happen Mr Burke we

had the whole lot grazing down in the

South section the morning we were due to

start the drive to the rail head we

found they'd all disappeared

overnight it's kind of hard to believe

that 625 head of horses just vanish in

the thin air ours did and right across

the Mexican border you think the

rustlers were Mexicans what else could

they have been we followed the trail of

those horses right to the line and that

trail went across the border well I just

asked because this would be the first

time in 5 years there's been a raid

across the border yeah and they had to

pick on us for that one well if the

horses are are in northern Mexico I have

friends down there that'll help me get

them out I sure hope they can otherwise

I'll be looking for a job I'll do my

best red let you and I take a look

across the border see you

[Music]

later come

on

[Music]

and so red and I headed across the

border to see my old friend Colonel

[Music]

Chavez

so that's why I came to see you Colonel

Chavez happy my friend if it were not so

serious I would laugh do you think that

over 600 horses could be run across the

border in my district without my men

knowing something about

it I've have known you too long to think

that that's why Burke's story sounded a

little fishy to me I assure you there

was not the least sign of the trail of

the horses on this side of the line Bur

story is impossible he sure made it

sound

good other men have made the mistake of

trying to outsmart our friend cidy much

to their sorrow wo then you are of the

opinion that it was an inside job eh

right that's why I may have to call on

you for some help I remember what you

have done for my people whatever I can

do shall be done That's mighty white of

you Colonel but me and hoppy can take

care of everything

ourselves you know every once in a while

red gets the idea that he's a oneman

army oh hobby just that every once in a

while I forget the thing once in a

while but he usually comes through a man

after my own heart if you wish I can

arrange to have men in civilian clothes

to ride back with you to the Whitley

Ranch no not yet first I want to find

out who's behind this horse stealing

that is wise then you mean to have a

talk with Nelson whitly yeah within the

hour then we'll have some idea what

we're up against meig

[Music]

ask red and I rode back to have a talk

with this Nelson

[Music]

Whitley

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

looks like this Nelson Whitley just

about owns the whole blame town and most

of the surrounding country as

[Music]

well where can I find Nelson Whitley

what do you want to see Nelson about who

are you name's Dylan what do you want

I'll tell that to Nelson Whitley you can

tell me I happen to manage his place I'm

Nelson

Whitley well I'll be dog gone n a

[Music]

sheep and I don't like arguments in my

place no wonder the rustlers run the

horses off right under your nose red

those horses are a sore spot with

me I don't think I'm going to like you a

most people don't like red till they get

to know him better I'm going to deny

myself that pleasure there's the door

you Big Ape now start moving or I'll

have you thrown out listen ma'am I don't

mind being called a big eight but I have

a strong AV version to being thrown out

of anywhere I've handled tough guys

before bask them throw these two out I

don't always agree with red but I too

have a strong a version about being

thrown out of anywhere toss them

out that's the way it has to

be I'll take that

one

[Applause]

how you doing red I got a stubborn when

he won't go

down we'll try letting loose of him

maybe he'll

drop it

work keep them covered right put that

bottle down not until I've chased you

out of here are you going to behave

yourself or do I have to turn you over

my knee and give you a spanking you

wouldn't dare wouldn't

I I believe you would that's

better what did you want to see me about

horses

625 of them put up your gun red you

won't need it is that understood Dylan

yeah boss and we can talk in my office

this

way

I'm I'm sorry I acted the way I did but

ever since dad died eight years ago and

left me as Enterprises I've had to fight

men for one reason or another well it

looks like you've handled everything all

right my name is Bill Cassidy it's US

Marshall Cassidy temporarily yeah I'm

red Connor's Hoppy's Deputy temporarily

hoppy well you must be Hong Cassidy

that's right my father often spoke of

you he used to say there was no one

quite like you and now I understand why

I was very fond of your father that's

why I'd like to help you sit down and

talk thank

you I'm sure by now that you know why

I'm here I think I know how important

those horses are to the government how

far do you trust your Foreman Burke

about as far as I trust most men and

that's not too far why do you ask I have

an idea the stealing of those horses

might be an inside job impossible where

could he sell that many expensive horses

without being found out they might have

been paid off to make sure the

government didn't get the horses I don't

think I understand there are certain

foreign interests here that would pay a

lot of money to make sure that Cuba

doesn't get any help of any kind and

those horses would be a big help I'm

beginning to see what you mean yeah

Hoppy's got the idea them horses are

boxed up in a canyon somewhere to die of

thirst or starvation who' be rotten

enough to do a thing like that I'll send

for Burke and you can beat the truth out

of it no not yet I don't want you to do

that it may give the others a chance to

destroy the horses in some other way if

they knew what I was planning I not only

want the horses I want whoever Burke

sold out

to do you know of any strangers that

have been here in the district in the

last 2 or 3 weeks uh anyone with a lot

of money or importance none that

answered that description what do you

know of anyone new in the district only

the dealer we hired two weeks ago and he

came well recommended for Mexico where

from in Mexico M morus I think I'd like

to have a look at him when can I meet

him right now if you want he's out in

the bar

good Gardina Sor this is Mr Cassidy

pleased to meet you seor how do you do

sir Miss Whitley tells me you are from

Matamoras I wonder if you happen to know

my friend Don Romera Diaz down there he

has a hendo on the m moris River just

outside of town oh surely I know him

seor everyone knows D Romero and how is

he have you seen him lately within the

past year he was quite well thanks I'm

glad to hear that now if you'll excuse

me I want to get word off to

headquarters that your horses have been

stolen by Mexican

rustlers and there's nothing they can do

about it except look for horses

elsewhere well then I suppose all I can

do is just take my loss and like it I

guess that's all you can do goodbye

so

[Music]

long I know you got something on your

mind but uh why did you say we're giving

up to throw Gardino off the track why I

don't think he's ever been in mam moris

I don't think he's a Mexican or even

Spanish and if there's a mam Morris

River it's news to me and besides my

friend Dawn Romero Diaz has been dead

for 5 years and he fell for the trick

sure what do we do now back to the

border and Colonel Chavez maybe we can

learn some more about Senor Gardina he

could be our

[Music]

man

[Music]

and again we were on our way to see

Colonel

[Music]

Chavez and do you know hoppy it took us

over 20 days to get the men and

equipment to that

place with your

permission ah it is the answer to my

telegram to headquarters I will

translate regarding information

requested concerning one Ramon

it is one of his many assumed names he

is not Mexican and is believed to be of

central European ancestry he was

expelled from Mexico 2 months ago on

suspicion that he is a foreign Espionage

agent that's all I need to hear now I

want four your men and civilian clothes

and I'll take the responsibility for

them being on our side of the Border it

will be as you wish I personally will

select three of my best men with Colonel

Chavez Hoy said he wanted four men there

shall be four men my friend three others

and am myself thanks

Colonel now uh what do you plan to do uh

you and your men had better STI out near

the Whitley Ranch I think I can trick

guarding into showing us where those

horses are hidden and if my plan works

[Music]

out

[Music]

I think we should order 50 more of each

right excuse me your horses have been

found they

have wonderful where did you find them I

didn't it was a couple of Mexican wood

gathers the horses are boxed up in a

canyon on this side of the Border I just

got word from milanie that's the best

news I've heard in a long time now we're

on our way to atanta now within a few

hours your horses should be back in

their own pastures come on

[Music]

red hey hoby you think Gardina fell for

it I'm betting he did Dylan did too huh

you think Dylan's in on it too well he

nearly fell over when I said those

horses were boxed up in a canyon come on

I want to get staked

out come

[Music]

on red and I had St take out on the road

that leads to the Whitley

[Music]

Ranch if my guesses had been correct all

the way down the line it wouldn't be

long before Gardina and Dylan would be

riding to the Whitley Ranch to tell

Burke what had happened and then figure

out a way to destroy the

horses my guesses have been

right

[Music]

[Music]

we waited until we could Trail them

without being being

[Music]

seen

[Music]

bominos

[Music]

[Applause]

Colonel Chavez was following my

instructions

perfectly

[Music]

hi

Colonel well they're doing exactly what

we wanted them to birds of a feather my

friend my hunches were still working out

they had picked up

[Music]

Burke let's

[Music]

[Music]

go come

[Music]

on we have trailed them for 10

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

miles

[Music]

there a mile ahead of us in the dead end

Ravine were the

horses logs had been placed across the

narrow entrance to the Steep wall Ravine

making a perfect cage for the

horses now it was just a question of

rounding up Gardina and the men who had

sold out to

him they had set the Ravine on fire with

the wind blowing down the Ravine it

would be only a matter of minutes until

there would be nothing left except

blackened

ashes now the Diabolical plan to destroy

the horses was clear you go after the

men we'll get the horses theel I sent

Colonel Chavez and his men to keep the

Gardina outfit off our necks while red

and I went to break down the barrier

that kept the horses in the

Ravine keep going around that

[Music]

way

[Music]

for those shots meant that Colonel

Chavez had caught up with the Gardina

outfit

[Music]

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

[Music]

get started for the opening

[Music]

red

now they're all heading for the opening

red keep them

[Music]

moving the horses were all safe they'd

Run for the nearest feed in water and we

could round them up later the fire in

the Ravine would burn itself out in a

few

hours now to find Colonel Chavez

shooting at died out he might need

[Music]

help but Chavez didn't need any help he

had carried out his end of the job just

as I felt sure he

[Music]

would nice work Colonel all right you

three get to your horses let's get out

of

[Music]

here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

well that just about takes care of

everything Miss Whitley Gardina Burke

and baser in jail waiting for trial your

horses are in the pasture under

government guard a couple of days good

feeding they'll be on their way to the

rail head you've done a great job hoppy

but in one move you've deprived me of a

manager a foreman a bouncer and a dealer

now don't you think you ought to do

something about that

well uh just what for instance I'd like

to have you take charge of things for me

everything well I appreciate the offer

very much but Twin Rivers is my home

range I have more than I can take care

growing Community I may come up there in

the near future to look over the

opportunities for

Investments we'd be very glad to see you

[Music]

moon to where cowboy

r h on

C on C he return soon again there's no

use to say goodbye

then here Hees here Hees there's the

tret there's the drums here he

comes humble on C

here we

[Music]

come deep in the heart of the Great

Southwest lies the fertile Valley of

Twin

Rivers here this year grazed what

promised to be the fattest heaviest

cattle the valley had ever

known for after 2 years of drought that

had brought death and starvation to

thousands of cattle and it brought the

catlan to the verge of ruination the

Twin Rivers were again running full and

the grass on the government owned Range

was again growing green and

tall

now at last the catlan could breathe

easier two months of feeding and their

cattle would be ready for Market their

heavy mortgages would be paid off

Prosperity was just around the

[Music]

corner

as Chief investigator for the Cal

Association it was my job to see that

nothing happened to these cattle before

they were shipped and a message IID

received last night had me

worried when we rode into the little

cattle Town of Twin Rivers that morning

and answer to an Urgent Message from the

Cattleman's Association I knew that

trouble with a capital T wasn't far off

and my saddle pal red cters must have

sensed that trouble too for he's never

very happy when things are

peaceful

[Music]

good morning Sam hello hoppy red you I

suppose you know why I sent for you well

I can guess I've already heard that Bob

Norman got back into town last night and

he's fing on running sheep here right

what do you intend doing about it like I

was telling hoppy coming into town we we

can round up enough Cattleman there

won't be a sheep get within 100 miles of

this town that goes for the sheep

herders too red there's no use taking a

chance on killing off a lot of men just

to keep a few sheep out of here I don't

care how it's done but I give you my

word if one head of sheep comes into

this District it means a fight to the

finish all right Sam we'll see what we

can do about it come

on

this was the Cattleman's declaration of

war I'd seen range war between catlan

and Sheepman before and I knew what it

meant the range would be burned over

they'd be ruined for

[Music]

years Ranch houses and buildings would

be BL

[Music]

up stock would be driven off and

destroyed men yes even women and

children would be killed in a senseless

ruinous

struggle and Bob Norman was crying for

that gun of a war when he said that he

intended stocking sheep on the rundown

Ranch he left a year

[Music]

[Applause]

ago

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I don't know who started it but all of a

sudden land

was this is what I've been awaiting for

I just been itching to get my hands on

one of them sheep man I'm going to get

them red come back

here you overgrown both peep since you

can get away this you got another thing

[Music]

[Applause]

count anybody else want to

fight I know it

all right break it up all of you don't

try to tell me what to do I'm telling

all of you what not to do well you ain't

telling

[Applause]

me think maybe we'd better try to settle

this without Gunplay do as happy tells

you

bigs who is this hoppy H along Cassy

investigator for the cattelan's

Association hi you hoppy hi Bob this is

my partner and new brother-in-law Rance

Barlo all right Rance this is red Conor

this is Lucy my wife your wife we were

married last week how do you do Mr

Cassidy I want it understood my man

didn't start this trouble what did you

sheep men expect key to the city in a

red carpet but if trouble has to come

the men who bringing our sheep in here

just as tough as the Cattlemen maybe

tougher I take it you're figuring on

putting up a fight if we have to and

it'll be a fight to the

Finish but I want to avoid Bloodshed if

I can that's why I asked for a meeting

with the Cattleman this

morning let's go over and have a talk

with Mr

Burger there you have it Mr Burger my

sister and I were running out of grazing

land so when Lucy married Bob we decided

to pull our interest and bring our sheep

down here to his Ranch we've got to move

them or they'll starve Bob you were

raised in a cattle country you know why

we can't allow you to come into this

District we've had a drought here for 2

years and now that the grass is

beginning to grow green why sheep would

ruin this range for another two years we

have to think about ourselves too Mr

Burger my brother and I have $5,000

every cent we have tied up in our sheet

there was something going on that I

couldn't figure out Bob was not the same

boy I'd known before he'd left for

Montana all through the the meeting he

had avoided my eyes that let Barlo and

Lucy come up with all the answers as far

as I was concerned these people didn't

talk or dress or act like sheep people

it was about time for me to ask some

questions Bob where are your sheep

now why they're over in New Mexico my

herders are ready to start to drive the

minute I give the word what are they

marinas or dur rocks why they're um half

and half half marinos and half Duro

catching

cold Lucy Had stepped right into my

little trap if these people had known

anything at all about stock she would

have known that Duro are not sheep but a

breed of pigs I hate to see a range War

break out here in Twin Rivers but I just

don't see how it can be

avoided unless you have some other idea

I'm sure Mr Burger would listen to any

reasonable

proposition if it'll avoid trouble well

I'm willing to be reasonable if the

Cattleman will pay us the cost of our

sheep that's all I want if you think for

one minute that I just a minute Sam let

me handle this please we're going to

keep out of this fight even if we have

to buy our way out of it now you say you

have $5,000 invested in your sheep it'll

take probably a week to raise that much

money but if I give you my word that

you'll be taken care of within that time

will you agree to keep the Sheep out of

here what do you say sis if hoppy gives

you his word to do something you can

take it

all right we'll give you a week to raise

the money thank you very much let's

go did you want to say something to

me

no happppy have you gone completely

local since when did the cattl man at

Twin Rivers start buying off a bunch of

wormy sheep men this is almost black man

it is black male at least a try at it

Marlo's bluffing he hadn't any sheep

what makes you think that didn't you

hear what that woman said when I asked

what kind of sheep they were no I guess

I was too busy being mad to hear

anything tell them red they're half and

half half Marino and half

Duro dock did she say dock

D it would have been funny to me too

except that I couldn't get over the look

in Bob Norman's eyes it was the look of

a trapped animal that knows it doesn't

have a

[Music]

chance and it wasn't funny to think what

Bob's returned to Twin Rivers a married

man tied up with sheep men was doing to

marry Warner our little

[Music]

postmistress

papy

yeah I'm going to tip off the Cattleman

and tonight we're going to ride that

whole four flush kitten Kaboodle out of

this County on a rail Sam you're not

going to do anything until I give Bob a

chance to get out of this mess's in and

don't let the cman go out looking for

trouble those two men at barlos look

like they can take pretty good care of

themselves now you and I are going to

see if we can find out what's happened

to Bob see you

later you sure straighten him

out hi

Mary hello hary will you do me a great

fav well sure I will will you give this

to Bob for

me well if you want me to I knew the

story back at this little ring there had

been an understanding between Mary and

Bob that as soon as he'd made enough

money to restock his Ranch he'd come

back and

claimer give it to him and and tell him

I wish him all the happiness and good

luck in the

world that's another count against that

bunch of no good Faker you know I'm just

itching to get down to that there ran

and get my hand on some of them sheep

herders you didn't do so well the last

time oh shucks I just let him get in the

first punch so he' think he was going to

have a pushover didn't he of course not

if you hadn't to stopped me I'd have had

him whipped in no time if I hadn't have

stopped you you'd have been on your back

again in no time oh

Happ come

[Music]

on before I could do anything to help

Bob Norman I'd had to find out what kind

of a hold Barlo held over him so I'd

worked out a plan to get Bob by himself

where I could have a talk with

him

[Music]

hi

rant hi

Cassidy what is it I want to talk to Bob

there a little matter of an unpaid feed

bill that he owes the cman association

it's funny you didn't run into him on

your way out from town uh we uh we took

the shortcut he's on his way in there to

see you what about he's afraid so am I

for that matter when we got back here

today we found a note on the porch

telling us to get out without waiting

for any payment it was signed sheep

haters let me see that note I don't have

it Bob must have taken it with him he's

loudly riding into trouble there's some

trigger happy Cattleman in this part of

the Valley come on let's see if we can

stop

him

[Music]

a couple of miles out of town we had

nearly caught up with Bob

when

[Music]

bred give me your

[Music]

handkerchief you better get his

[Music]

horse

The Men Who had Shot Bob were too far

away for me to make out who they were

but if they were some of the Cattlemen

who had decided to put an end to Bob's

career as a Sheepman before he got

started they'd answer to

[Music]

me but I couldn't go after them now Bob

was badly hurt and needed the

doctor

[Music]

I hope you don't mind my bringing Bob

here but I couldn't think of anybody to

make a better nurse for him than you I'm

glad you did hary well that'll be all

Mary HBY it's a lucky thing that you and

red got him here as soon as you did a

little rest and he'll be as good as new

that's

fine hey you are do I give you a hand

yeah

thanks thank you very much it's all

right I'll be seeing you say hello to

your wife I will no

well hey hary Bob's having deliriums or

something he's babbling all over the

place he probably got a slight

concussion when he fell off that hor

whatever he's got he's trying to say

something about bar no no I I can't go

through with a B

they're my kind of people I can't let

you double Crush wait a minute get your

hands off of me far take it easy

[Applause]

Bob

hoppy what happened to me what am I

doing here well red and I brought you in

you were coming in from your ranch today

and somebody shot you you'll be all

right

now I'll never be all right again

hoppy Bob do you feel like telling me

what this message you got into maybe I

can help you that's not a very pretty

story hobby but I was coming in to tell

you about it anyway so here it goes I

was over in New Mexico when I met Lucy

and her brother in a Gambling Hall where

they were

working I guess my foolish bragging

about my Ranch being worth a lot of

money caused it

but anyway they got me drunk one night

the next morning they told me I was

married to

Lucy I tried to get Lucy to call it off

but it was no dice

when I told him that I wasn't Rich that

my Ranch was

worthless Barlo dreamed up the scheme to

Swindle the Cattleman by threatening to

run sheep

in Lucy promised me my freedom if I'd go

along with the idea

but when I saw you this morning then

Mary I knew I couldn't go through with

it even if it meant being stuck with

Lucy for the rest of my

life Bob uh did you tell Barlo that that

you were walking out on him before you

left the ranch today I told him I was

going to tell you the truth no matter

what happened what was his reaction to

that said if I was going to be a fool

there was nothing much he could do about

it except call the whole deal off now

ain't that just like a bunch of dumb

sheep herter spoiling all our fun by

giving up so easy I don't think they

gave up they thought they were playing

it the smart way I don't get it the wait

a

minute now now I was beginning to get a

clear idea who Shot Bob and why I was

sure that barood sent his gun men after

the boy to quiet him for good before he

could talk and spoil their deal some

unknown trigger happy Cattleman would be

blamed for the killing leaving the Barlo

outfit to collect and pull out with no

one the

wiser red I've got an idea that might

work what is

it you and I going out and have a talk

with Barlo and his men we'll be back as

soon as we

can all

[Music]

right

[Music]

keep an eye on those two gunmen but

don't start anything unless they do I

sure hope they

[Music]

do hi something you want Cassidy yeah I

want to talk to vlo I got some news for

him hi rant hi Cassidy what is it having

trouble raising the money no not at all

the association will have the money for

you by noon tomorrow I just thought I'd

better tell you to keep your eyes open

until you're paid off looks like we

might have a little trouble with the

cattle man is that so yeah Bob Norman

was shocked this afternoon shot yeah was

my partner killed oh no he'll be all

right in a few

days the uh postmistress has taken care

of him over at herp place did you talk

with him did he say anything I mean

about who did it not a word the doc gave

him quite a dose of sleeping Powers I'm

sure you won't do any talking before

morning well in that case I guess it

wouldn't do us any good to ride in and

see him before morning no you couldn't

do anything for him that hasn't already

been done well thanks for everything

Cassidy I'll see you in town tomorrow

yeah in the meantime we'll take your

advice and keep a sharp Lookout those

same Cattlemen may decide to shoot us

down the way they did Bob

that's right well so long till

[Music]

tomorrow come on red let's see if we can

find out who those cattan are the shot

Bob I had the feeling that sometime

R20 land before we realized that our

luck was running out faster than those

sprays could

travel

towards Sundown we decided to give up

and head back to the ranch when blowing

in from the east on a slight breeze came

the aroma of pan fried beef

[Music]

steak Beyond a fringe of nearby brush

smoke of a campfire curled

Skyward we decided to

[Music]

trying to scare you off so you'd quit

following us following you don't try to

deny it you're might mixed up Miss we

were just out here trailing some

caves and from my looks of that Fresh

side of beef over there I'd say we found

one of them that calf wasn't yours it's

got a bar2 brand on it Mr Judy and I

don't know anything about Brands we just

found the Critter running loose and

figured no body owned it so we helped

ourselves so that makes you and your

sister cattle rustlers don't let them

make trouble we'll pay for that calf

just to get rid of you

Tom here take this and move on but you

[Music]

on I figured it was useless to try and

reason any longer with a couple of

confused kids we headed back to the

ranch

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

n morning gentlemen morning I'm Trevor

Lane United States Marshall this is my

assistant Bob Hayes oh yeah what can we

do for you we're trying to get a lead on

a pair of conord money passers we have

traced into this area you mean they're

operating around here that's hard to say

it showed up in a number of places we

haven't even heard of it you will some

of it showed up in Twin Rivers only this

morning young girl and her brother

bought some Provisions with several

worthless Bank notes do they call

themselves Tom and Judy Marlo sometimes

we've been trying to catch up with him

see maybe you're the two they claimed

was falling him then you have met him

yeah yesterday even about Sundown they

were camped down here at the lower end

of the bar 20 we located the spot this

morning only our Birds had flown that's

why we came up here a gentleman about

all week and tell you is that they were

heading from Mesa Springs to claim an

inheritance you believed

it lucky they didn't stick you with some

of their samples hey how about that bank

note they gave you for the yeah I don't

know maybe you better take a look at

[Applause]

this looks like you're out one calf so

what can I do about it you hold on to

that we might need it as evidence when

we catch up with that pair see you later

all

right

appears though we got took I suspected

that bullheaded G or cattle Russell and

brother were mixed up in something well

if they are there's somebody else back

of it this was made by an expert

counterfeit well that's the Marshall's

problem so it is but he's not going to

solve it in the direction he's heading

the answer lies in Mesa Springs those

kids told us that much you don't think

they'd be fools enough to go right back

there maybe they wouldn't but we are

let's

go all I had to go on was that calf the

counterfeit bank note and a strong

conviction that we'd locate Tom and Judy

in Mesa

Springs by late in the afternoon red and

I had searched everywhere for Tom and

Judy without finding any trace of them I

was ready to admit that red had been

right all along that the girl and her

brother had never intended coming to

Mesa

[Music]

Springs

[Music]

we decided to hit the trail for home

then I spotted

[Music]

it it was the same wagon we'd seen at

the campsite on the bar

[Music]

20 something about that sign looked

familiar then I

remembered look at that sign Jud

Marlo that's the name of the uncle that

left his property the Judy and

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Tom

[Music]

whatever we expected to find inside a

newspaper office didn't appear to be in

this

[Music]

one looking for

someone dang If It Ain't That Girl Again

disarming you is getting to be a habit I

don't like Miss Marlo you have a habit I

don't like I suppose you're going toy

having followed me here not this time

where's your brother you ought to know

what if you're done with him you mean he

isn't here with you you know very well

he isn't when I awoke at our camp this

morning he was gone I thought he came

over here on his own so I drove over to

look for him you've taken my brother

someplace no I think the law beat us to

it this time the law but Tom's done

nothing wrong uh that's a matter of

opinion young

lady remember remember this is that the

money we paid you for the calf that's

right and it happens to be counterfeit

is this another one of your tricks oh

now they stop playing games we know all

about the trail of counterfeit money you

and your brother have been leaving

behind you counterfeit money where would

Tom and I get hold of counterfeit money

maybe someone just conveniently planted

it on you no I'm beginning to understand

you were the two prowess Tom and I

chased from our camp one night you

exchanged our cash for worthless Bank

notes open to trap us wait just a minute

did you say there were two of them

that's right near the two thanks Miss

Marlo I think you've just given me the

answer what answer I don't know what

you're up to this time but I'd like an

explanation there isn't time for an

explanation if we're going to find your

brother you better get over and get the

sheriff and bring him right back here

now hurry up like a good

girl poy why why'd you let that girl

escape I thought we came here to find

them counterfeits we came here to find

the truth I suppose that pack of line

she was telling us is the truth read

that girl's lying about the last place

she'd come to would be Mesa Springs

besides that sign over the door backs up

her claim to this property what about

the counterfeit money who would have had

a chance to plant that on those two kids

I don't know unless it was them two

galut she claimed was trailing them

that's correct the two gutes are the

same men that came to the bar2 and

admitted they were doing the trailing

you mean the US Marshal if he was a US

Marshal Mar I don't recall that he

showed us any credentials he that's

right then Lane and that other po cat

were deliberately trying to frame them

Marlo kids n worse than that I think

they've caught up with that boy Shucks

all we'd find now be a cold Trail that's

why we're going to stay put I got an

idea before long that wagon out there

bring somebody looking for Judy

Marlo

huh

[Music]

don't move get his

gun Now where's the girl I wouldn't know

exactly he's lying or stalling better

get outside and look

around you've gone to an awful lot of

trouble to keep Jud Marlo's airs from

claiming this place that would be hard

to

prove Marl didn't leave much worth

claiming this is a newspaper office he

must have left a printing press where is

it they say Marl disposed of everything

before he died yeah I got another notion

that press is being used someplace to

turn out counterfeit

banknotes maybe you're

right well oh sheriff come quickly

there's

trouble

that Marlo gal is headed this way with

the sheriff let's get to the

barn

stay come on R the horses around here

all that you do get your hands up you're

making a mistake Sheriff the two men you

want are making a getaway down the alley

I've heard that one before hoppy carries

a badge in his own County Sheriff hoppy

why should recognize you on sight City

I'll get a py oh we haven't got

time

[Applause]

[Music]

d

[Music]

[Applause]

a

[Applause]

[Music]

with lane giving us the slip and Hayes

dead we didn't have the slightest lead

to Tom

[Music]

Marlo haz's horse seemed to be taking a

familiar route maybe from force of habit

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

that Barn could mean the end of the

trail but there wasn't much chance of

our approaching without being seen there

had to be another

way

[Applause]

[Music]

red thought it strange a wagon should

start out the way that one did I decided

to

[Music]

[Applause]

investigate

[Music]

[Applause]

la

[Music]

on

[Music]

we were pretty sure that driver was

protecting more than just a load of

[Music]

freight

[Music]

it didn't take us long to discover it

was counterfeit

[Music]

banknotes red get the horses and get out

of sight

hurry

[Music]

up

what

happened Lane sounded worried over what

the driver told him he figured we'd been

scared off but he knew we were getting

Mighty close to the truth Lane decided

to get the wagon out of sight while the

driver was to destroy the counterfeit

Bank notes hidden at the Livery stable

in

town

[Applause]

[Music]

but if I knew red that driver was due to

have

[Music]

company

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

[Music]

those two strangers who shot Hayes are

in this area and gunning for trouble

better get outside and keep your eyes

open you printed your last Conor fit

bank note after I settle up with you

anything against

[Music]

Tom are you all right sure says I'm fine

I afraid I'd never find

you guess we got here just in time to

miss all the fun yeah well there's your

man Sheriff he's been using this Barn as

a hideout to print counterfeit money and

he's been using that Livery stable in

town as a front for smuggling out the

phony money h

are you a part of this outfit who are

you I'm Jud Marlo Jud

Jud red get him out of

here Jud what's left of him Charlie but

everyone thought you were killed in that

Avalanche at powder Hill they found your

body under the rock slide they found an

unidentified victim wearing my clothes

Lane planned it that way what did he

have on you he found out about a prison

term I once served on a trunked up Lial

charge he threatened to expose my Pass

unless I met his demands then he took

over all my printing equipment forced me

to print these worthless Bank notes on

my own press I was guarded night and day

well that's all behind you Mr Marlo you

still got your press left and I'm sure

the sheriff will agree with me that the

town could use its newspaper again I do

agree hoppy and as far as I'm concerned

Mesa Springs buried the wrong man while

the Clarence publisher was W for spell

glad to have you back Jud Char well
