comes when the Prescott gang started

their reign of terror they made every

other criminal in the territory seemed

like a rank amate Frank Prescott struck

lightning fast leaving a trail of

destuction in his weight and the price

on his head increased with every daring

crime my sadal partner red Conor and I

were called in to try to track down the

elusive Outlaw who was now wanted on a

federal charge we gathered all the

information we could from towns folk and

businessmen who had fallen victim to

Prescott's almost insane urge for

money we picked up his Trail but he

always seemed just one jump ahead of us

until on a road just a few miles outside

a Twin River as we interrupted what

turned out to be frank Prescott's last

Armed

robber all right throw down the

[Music]

money

a

we saved the payroll the stage carried

but one man was dead another wounded and

Frank Prescott was still on the

loose we got the stage driver to Twin

Rivers and under the able care of Dr

Glenn Scott and nurse Nancy Matthews who

in a few more hours were to become man

and wife well at least that hold up got

matter of fact they're going to collect

the reward for killing

me

[Music]

these two men picked up Prescott's Trail

after you and red broke up the stage

robbery wounded him in a gunfight I

worked all night to save Prescott's life

but it wasn't any use here's the death

certificate

where's the body about 6 ft underneath

the ground out of the place called

Lambert's fol lamborn's fol that's right

about 50 yards from the Old Ranch House

there just a

minute you dug a grave and buried Frank

Prescot at lamburn Folly is that right

we can show you the exact spot well I'm

afraid I'll have to see it before I turn

in a report uh what about the reward

when do we get that oh don't worry

you'll get what's coming to

oh Blen hello Nancy Dad I'm sorry about

yesterday oh what happened you had us

worried son well everything's all right

I I'll explain later the doctor had a

busy night of it Frank Prescott was the

emergency case he was called out on yeah

these two here claim the kill Prescott

want the

reward doctor what are you supposed

brought that on I don't know it was a

shock of hearing Nancy I've got get him

over to my office let me help

you the minute they mentioned that

Prescott was buried 6 feet under at

lamborn's Folly I knew that the story

about his death was a phony but when

Charles Scott collapsed on hearing of

the alleged killing I was puzzled and

wanted to find out why a respect man

like Dr Scott was mixed up in an

attempted

[Music]

fraud come on I want to have a look at

that Lambert's Folly sure I'll stay here

maybe I can give the doc a hand yeah

maybe you can let's

[Music]

go we rode out to lamborn's Folly and

were shown the grave where Frank Prescot

was 6 ft

[Music]

under there it is

let's have a look at the inside of the

ranch house

[Music]

sure

are you looking for something in

particular Mar Oh no just routine place

looks the same to me hoppy h a little

more rund down but I guess that's

natural there's been nobody here to look

at the place since slamber left about 8

years ago well my partner and I figured

that sleeping in here is better than

sleeping out in the open yeah I guess

that's right oh come on red let's

go

when you going to send in that report

Marshall me and my partner can use some

money didn't anyone ever tell you not to

count your chickens before they're

hatched what do you mean we got Prescot

didn't we come on

red

well Frank it looks like they're falling

for it I'm not so sure Cassidy's got

something on his mind I tried to G him

down from up there but you were right in

my line of fire what makes you think

he's wise I don't know I just don't like

it

here Cassidy that's right and don't

miss you're the boss

[Music]

h

[Music]

a

well what do you make of that now hoppy

you know there ain't no reward on our

heads why do you suppose that fell

shooting at us well maybe you're just

trying to make that story about killing

somebody come true why don't we just

round them up we know they're lying

Frank ain't ain't a more buried their

Lambert's Folly than I am ah but so long

as they think we don't know that they'll

stick around for the

reward R the thing that bothers me is

why the Scots are mixed up with

Prescott

Scott

Prescott I think I've got it come

[Applause]

on he just doesn't respond tried

everything you won't believe Frank's

alive well get your brother here and

show him oh I told you about Frank Nancy

he's a mad dog who else would scheme to

collect his own reward money but it's

his father too and he can't refuse to

come surely he has some decency

left that's worth a try if it means

Dad's

life well how's the old man he's dying

we've got to get Frank you don't take

orders so well do you doc or maybe you

forgot Frank is dead it ain't healthy

for the little lady to know any

different save your threats just get my

brother here you've got to it's the only

chance of saving his father's life oh I

don't know Frank won't like this you

tell him if he doesn't come I'll

disclose everything you won't disclose

anything doc if I write out you go with

me he can't go now then I don't go

either I'll go with you Nancy it's the

only way Glenn we have no other choice

you've got to stay here with your father

say that's a better idea when Frank gets

us 10,000 you get the girl back fair

enough now ain't that a pretty picture

come

[Music]

on working on the theory that most every

family keeps a photographic record red

and I rode the Charles Scott's Ranch and

it didn't take long to find what I was

looking for ah there it

is clean and brother Frank

how Frank Prescot is the doctor's

brother there's no doubt about that

explains why the docs mixed up in this

yeah it also explains why Charles Scott

had an attack when he heard about

Prescott's death you spools the docks in

for a cut of the 10,000 I hope not red

we're going to find out right

[Music]

now

faced with the photograph the doctor

told us the truth about his part in the

Fantastic scheme hatched by his brother

Frank he filled Us in on all the details

and told us that NY was being held

hostage out at lamborn's

fol well come on let's go get her wait a

minute Frank said he'll never be taken

alive if he doesn't get here Dad will

die we won't stop Frank but I want you

to promise to stall him here until we

get back from Lambert's volley well

that's kind of a tall order Hy he's your

brother you know Frank wouldn't ride in

to save father's life if it weren't for

fear of losing that 10,000 you have my

word hoppy thanks

Doc

la

la

look this I've had about all the talk

from you that I

let me go get your hands

up you all right Nancy

doctor's with me we're going out of here

together put away your guns or I'll kill

them

Frank

[Music]

well Glenn that was a heartbreaking

decision your father had to make but I

guess he figured it was either your life

or Frank's he's a pretty brave man hoppy

I know he wants the reward money divided

among the families who suffered from

Frank's out lry he would think of that

what made you suspicious of Glenn's

story well Frank did make one little

mistake in the spot he picked to be

buried in 6 feet under yeah that Lamborn

Farm's only got a foot and a half a top

soil underneath that there there's

nothing but Solid Rock that's why they

call it lamborn's

fol well we'll see you later bye

goodbye hi my little Partners I want to

ask you a very serious

question are you afraid of

policeman you're not huh well that's

good you shouldn't

be always remember that those men have

had a lot of training have put in a lot

of years to learn how to help protect

you and one more thing don't ever call a

policeman a

cop he doesn't like it and it doesn't

sound good respect him as he does you

call him a police officer and see how

much nicer he'll be I'll see you next

week in the meantime don't forget to go

to Sunday

school there he

goes on his

way the moon to

where H on

say goodbye until

then here he here

Hees tret the DRS here he

com

c

here

for years Twin Rivers was a quiet cattle

town then suddenly the peaceful

existence changed with the discovery of

gold near our community the prospects of

easy sudden wealth attracted an influx

of new citizens unfortunately we had to

welcome the bad along with the good my

job is sherff became more difficult and

hazardous most of the disturbances were

caused by Buck F's gambling table I

could never prove fain's games were

crooked but fights were inevitable and

frequent break it out the matter with

you all right what is it this time F

usual thing his luck ran out and he

accused me of running a crooked game

I said that was enough he caused

considerable damage lock him up I'll

prefer

Chargers all right come

[Applause]

on I was reluctant to lock up this

fellow but according to the law I

couldn't do anything

else be more careful in the future all

these miners aren't stupid get back to

your

[Music]

table looks like bum's lost another

[Music]

partner

[Music]

hi

you Frank K what happened I don't know

somebody shot him in the back when we

was working the claim where's hoppy

seems to me the sheriff would be the

last person you'd want to talk to this

is the second one of your partners who's

been mysteriously ambushed two weeks ago

it was Jack Smith are you trying to say

I done it well the more of them you kill

off the larger your share why you lying

B oh none of that you protecting the old

fool huh of course you would you're one

of his Partners in that gold strike

maybe you're helping him get rid of the

others yeah I'll make you

eat something ought to be done about you

too and I got a good mind to start it

youd better be sure you can finish it

you're nothing but a dirty crook you're

s because you haven't got a part of my

mind shut up you old fool I'll how about

this folks should I do something about

it yeah what have you got in mind

F put up your

gun I said put up your

gun I'm sure GL to see you hary Buck F

here is trying to say that red and I

killed off our partners we had no idea

who killed Frank King and Jack Smith we

were out digging the flame all right

bummer I know all right come on all of

you back to your business

now you too

feain bred you better take care of

him I knew Fain was a troublemaker but I

couldn't figure his motive in trying to

make people believe this old koder was a

murderer

come

on bummer had drifted into Twin Rivers

six or eight years before and had never

been known to do a day's work finally

the people around town got tired of

bummer buming his Foods drinks and even

his clothing five of the boys got

together and decided to Grub Steak the

old man if he'd work a gold

claim they were Dan Warner the black

Smith red and three miners Jack Smith

Frank King and trem

Hardy Dan said he didn't have any idea

what was going

on when I told him his life might be in

danger he laughed off my fears I told

the blacksmith when he saw trm Hardley

to tell him to drop into my

office

look Hobby's

here Sheldon bo am I glad to see you oh

my uncle Sheldon how I how are you oh

this is my R's boy and my Nam sake Dr

Sheldon L shake hands with hopong

Cassidy how are you Doctor D know you Mr

Cassidy I wrote him to come over as soon

as I struck gold on my claim that was

very nice of you bummer bummer that is

what you call him isn't it oh that's

just a term of

affection well I've had a little trouble

since I wrote your boy now you better

come over to my office doctor it's

nothing to worry about a couple of my uh

Partners got shot in the

[Applause]

[Music]

back the doctor hadn't seen bummer for

over 15 years I gathered from their

conversation that because this boy was

his namesake and his father was dead

bummer had decided to set his nephew up

and business and open an office for him

I didn't like to disillusion Dr low

about his uncle but I had to explain

what had started out to be a prank with

the boys around town making bumper go to

work had turned into a serious matter I

drawn up a partnership agreement which

all of them signed they were to share

equally six

ways naturally with the elimination of

two men those left would get a bigger

share Mr Cassidy Uncle Sheldon wouldn't

kill anybody I'm sure of

that I passed by the claim on my way

into town I don't know much about mining

but it didn't look very prosperous to me

have you ever been in this part of the

country before no of course not he only

got out of that doctor School a couple

of months ago well for a stranger you

didn't seem to have much trouble finding

that claim Uncle Sheldon described it so

well in his letter I I just went right

to it could I see that

letter I lost it what are you driving

that

hoppy slug a 3030 Winchester killed

Frank King right

hi if I'm not mistaken that was a 3030

Windchester you had on your saddle

wasn't it that's right see here Mr

Cassidy if you think because I went by

my uncle's mind I killed one of his

Partners you're badly mistaken ah just a

minute doctor nobody's accusing you of

anything your insinuations are plain

enough it was only natural for him to go

to the mine he thought he'd find me

there Mr Cy Hi D what's this I hear

about Frank King that's right TM I want

to tell just a minute trm Hardy this is

Dr Sheldon low bum nephew glad to know

his bed poor thing I was just bringing

him some soup and warm milk I always say

bummer room uh this

way here's the same room we had before

best bed in the house too I always say

people don't pay enough attention to

what kind of bed they sleep in you know

did you ever stop to realize Mr Cassy

you spent half of your life in bed my

sister Emma always said Mrs Turner you

seem to have taken quite an interest in

Sheldon's Comforts all of a sudden I

remember the time you put him out

because he couldn't pay his bill I only

did it for his own good here's his room

two of his partners are with

him thank

you listen tram if you and Dan will do

what I tell you we'll have a mind

that'll pay off I ain't going to have no

more soup or no more milk nonsense it's

good for you Sheldon and you'll drink

every drop of it oh a man ought to have

something in his stomach that'll stick

to his

ribs howdy Hoy hi bummer what's a you

well I must have ate something that

didn't like me and that nephew of mine

sent me some medicine there the worst

taste and stuff I ever had in this world

well let's say the worst The Taste the

quicker The Cure yeah less it kills you

want some soup no I don't want any soup

but I do want you to stay away from the

mine that's what we were talking about

happy yeah me and Warner's going out to

work to claim while bummer laid up but

we're taking red along with us to keep a

lookout for ambushers that's a good idea

I was going to suggest that I ain't

going to stay in this bed oh yes you are

Sheldon I think you better bummer well

all right hoppy if you say say

so is this the medicine your nephew

prescribed yes and I wish he had to take

it himself oh for goodness sakes it's

it's time Frey's next dose oh no I ain't

going to take it oh yes you are Sheldon

Now open up being sick and having Mrs

Turner's Loving Care forced upon him at

least did one thing it made bummer

anxious to get back to work I left to

give red some instructions about

protecting himself and the other

partners

this is

[Music]

Turner Mrs

Turner Mr F what are you doing here Dr

low tells me that you have a vacant room

and you serve the best food in town you

want to rent for me yes anything wrong

with that I've never rented to anyone

connected with your place well there's

always a first time for everything how

much I haven't said I'd let you have the

room this ought to take care of

it well if you

insist now Mr P please don't make me

sorry I took you in I always say I know

you have nothing to worry

about I was just as amazed as Mrs Turner

to see feain moving into her place

[Music]

red took the first turn at guard duty

while Hardy and Warner worked the claims

quite naturally they wanted to stay

alive to enjoy their Newfound

prosperity gave him over

[Music]

there better get out of

here

they had searched around the claim for

signs of the ambusher but had found

nothing they promised me to stop all

work on the diggings for a while I'd

received word bummer was worse and

wanted to talk to

[Music]

me

[Music]

I think the cup of hot te you suggested

will help and be sure he takes a

medicine I'll attend to it how's

bummer this condition is serious but not

dangerous did you get to talk to him I

could not in his present condition I

told you I'd make it worth your while

besides if you wait it'll be too

late

[Music]

hi bummer hi Hy how you feel

terrible dizzy and I got pains in my

stomach and well what does Sheldon say

about it oh well he sent me over some

new medicine over there but that's not

what I want to talk to you about hoy

hobby I I got a confession to make to

you I've been in love with Mrs Turner

for a long time but I never had nerve

enough to speak to her about it until

now well you know now that I got a

little money why I guess I just popped

the

question and she said yes yeah yeah and

she sure made me happy

too H you I want you to read this it's

it's my my

will I wish you'd fix it up sort of

legal like so that if anything happens

to me before we're married Mrs Turner

and Sheldon will split what I leave oh

nothing's going to happen to you you'll

be up and around in no time but I do

think uh for your own protection that

maybe you should give me power of

attorney what's that well that's a legal

form of letter that means that you can't

sell or transfer or even give away your

gold without my consent oh I see sure

sure Hoy you go ahead and fix it up

that's

fine this is the new medicine huh and

that awful smelling stuff it certainly

is and after I take that vile tasting

stuff I feel worse than I did before

well then there's no reason for taking

it I'll get you some stuff that doesn't

taste quite so bad oh thanks Hoy you're

real friend I'll be back in a little

while with some new medicine you easy H

don't don't

hurry

uh why Mr gby I didn't know you were

here I was in visiting with bummer is

the doctor in well he was a few minutes

ago I'll see land sakes I never had so

much to do since po Shel in God's sake

it's just been one thing after the other

did you want to see me Mr Cassidy yes I

am taking bummer medicine away from him

for goodness sake why you have no right

to do that I have every right and as

Sheriff I'm ordering you not to

prescribe to your unle I'm having Dr

Kramer come in and take a look at him

that's a direct insult I'm a doctor Mr

Cassidy and what you're doing is

contrary to professional ethics well I'm

not a doctor so I don't have to be

concerned with professional ethics all

right you are the law in Twin Rivers

I'll have to abide by what you say but I

won't be responsible for the results let

me worry about that will

you let Sak I never saw such going on

you don't think there's anything really

wrong with that medicine do you Mr C

well I don't know but there's no sense

taking any chances well I'll get rid of

it for you I'll see you later Mr tuer

well I always say the law is the

law I know about you having the power of

attorney Cassidy and I'm willing to pay

a good price to buy into bummer claim

aren't you satisfied with your own

business

yes but I'd like to get in on a good

thing I'm sure you would but I think for

the time being we'll let things stand

just as they are here's something else

you might give some thought too you go

in with bummer your life might be in

danger I'm willing to take my chances on

that score change your tune

anything I'm making a legitimate offer

I'm sure you

are I even ask the doctor to speak to

the old man about it you can ask him I

will will now if you'll excuse us we

have some work to

[Applause]

[Applause]

do did you see him looking at that

medicine bottle yeah I'll bet there's

poison in there and he's in cahoots with

the doctor well I'm glad you got it

figured out because I haven't we you

going I want to get something to eat I

missed my supper with all this paperwork

I haven't had anything to eat either you

mean the last 30 minutes I want you to

stay here and watch the office I'm

expecting callers well say I just

thought of something isn't it dangerous

leave old bummer unprotected if

somebody's trying to kill him bummer is

perfectly all right so long as that

power of attorney paper is locked up

that brings up another thought they

might try to get you I hope they let me

get my supper first I'll bring you back

a sandwich you better make it two maybe

three

for

[Music]

hold it

B

what's the matter you supp poor you

can't buy your own medicine give me that

bottle I'm going to lock you up get in

there hold it

red drop your gun on the

floor give me that

bottle now open that safe I want that

power of attorney paper I can't I I

don't know the combination you're lying

open the safe I said I can't you better

get give me that gun one wait just a

minute Mrs Turner I only agreed to steal

that bottle of medicine for you I don't

want to be part of a murder

two Mrs Turner I always say that one

man's medicine is another man's poison

all right red lock her

up right this way

ma'am Mrs Turner confessed she'd killed

SMI and King had tried to kill red at

the diggings and had slowly been

poisoning bummer guess she figured she'd

rather inherit his share than marry

him the remaining Partners decided to

work the diggings with bummer the old

fellow had more ambition and a

willingness to work than any of

[Music]

[Applause]

them

hi there my little

friends if you were playing baseball and

the baseball was knocked across a

railroad track I'm pretty sure when you

got to that railroad track you'd stop

look and listen wouldn't

must be a gambler in a way he is quite a

gambler Jim builds railroads I suppose

that's what you down here for that

proposed Branch line to uh connect the

Midland and Western railroad that's it

hoppy biggest gamble I ever took

everything I have is tied up in the

project sounds like quite a

[Applause]

deal it was a big and ambitious job Jim

Tigard had taken on he meant to build a

steel Trail West through the barren

desert through passes that wound through

the high

mountains to some of the richest cattle

country in the southwest where the

railroad had never reached

before and I don't mind telling you

hoppy it's been a tough survey job 6

months of it but it looks like I can go

ahead now Buddy's due here tomorrow with

a complete report of the survey for the

route Buddy isn't that your nephew yeah

do you remember him oh sure but that was

a long time ago he was just a little

shaver well that little shaver has

become one of the best civil engineers

in the business here's a picture of him

when he was pitching for his college

team look at that what a

guy uh hey somebody's

heard that's Bill Bricker my

representative down

here

poppy it's

Buddy you see I'm afraid so

[Applause]

Jim how did this

happened Bricker gave us a brief but

brutal account of what

happened early this morning he had

ridden out to the camp some 5 miles from

town where buddy was just completing the

last mile of his 6 months survey when

four masked men rode

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

up when Bricker came to the bandits had

killed Buddy's assistant and ridden off

with everything they could lay hands on

including the leather case that held the

complete records of the

survey realizing that the loss of his

records would have ruined his uncle but

he seemed to crack

[Music]

up I tried to stop him but I was too

late you better have the doctor take a

look at that it's only a scratch I'll be

all right Arwin gets some rest after I

look after buddy I we'll take care of

that who are you it's all right all

right Bricker Mr Cassidy is a US Marshal

oh I'm sorry I'll tell you anything I

can Mr Cassidy it'll keep till morning

then I want a full description of the

men that attack

you red give him my hand with Buddy

there will you come

on in Jim taggert's room at the hotel

that night I learned just what my friend

was up against he had mortgaged all of

his possessions to put up a bond and buy

equipment for the road he intended

building if he failed to turn over a

completed survey to a representative of

the Railroad Commission by noon of the

day after tomorrow his bond would be

forfeited and his contract

[Music]

cancelled with Buddy gone I'm sunk all

washed up and I'm too old to start all

over

again

Jim that doesn't sound like the tiger I

know besides no man gets so old he can't

start over again I know this whole thing

has been pretty much of a shock to you

but don't let it get you

down I'll try to pick up a trail the

first thing in the

morning in the meantime you get into bed

and get some rest thanks

Hoy good night Jim good night

hoppy next morning after bricket

described the men who had held up the

Camp red and I rode to the

campsite I picked up an easy to follow

Trail one of the men had been riding a

horse that had lost a left front

[Music]

shoe raail LED in a circle back to town

and there we lost it in the marks of the

traffic in the street and nowhere had we

seen any trace of the m case or

maps have you put a left front shoe on

for anybody in the last 24 hours who

wants to know US Marshal Le Deputy well

then I suppose I got to tell you yeah

three guys came through here yesterday

afternoon I Bob Murdoch gave a

description of the men and their mouths

which checked with those given me by

Bricker I sent telegrams to the sheriffs

of the surrounding counties and was

ready to take off again to try to pick

up the trail

[Music]

how you are

[Music]

son sight of the youngsters playing

catch set me to thinking and we better

get a move on and Bandit's got a mighty

big head start on

us maybe not as big as you think come on

we're going back and see Jim

tiger

good morning Jim good morning how you

feel I feel better did you find anything

well if my mind isn't playing me tricks

I did may I see that picture of buddies

again what I was looking at was the

picture of a young man on a base

baseball uniform a pitcher's mitt on his

right hand but he was left-handed wasn't

he sure the best Southport pitcher the

school over

had

Jim that boy didn't commit suicide he

was

murdered

murdered but hoppy Bricker said that the

M never mind what Bricker said buddy was

sh in the right Temple wasn't he and he

was left-handed I'll figure it out

yourself by goly you're right hoppy be D

near impossible certainly it

is then bricker's story was a lie from

start to finish now let's see if we can

find his

motive would those survey Maps be of

value to anyone besides yourself it

would be worth a lot to any of a half

dozen men and I

underbid and I suppose Bricker knows a

great deal about your business

everything there's your answer Bricker

sold you out and arranged with

Confederates to Stage that hold up what

are we waiting for red the important

thing is to get those survey Maps back

in time Jim here's what I want you to

do red and I hid out of the hallway

while I waited for Jim to carry out my

instructions to get Bricker out of his

room on the pretext of wanting to talk

to him on business and to keep recing

with him until I got

[Music]

back a thorough search had turned up no

sign of the survey

Maps here was something interesting a

letter postmarked Denver addressed to

Bricker and part of it red I am

interested in your proposition

$225,000 worth provided you can cause

the cancellation plus another 5,000 for

the maps later and it was signed Tom

[Music]

Walker

I never figured it would go this way

come

in Jim I'm afraid I'm going to have to

give up lost the trail completely I'm

sorry I did my best I'm sure you did

thanks for trying well I guess this just

about washes me up for good breaker

maybe I can scrape up enough to give you

an extra month's pay oh that's all right

Mr tager I I can get another job I'll

probably head back to Denver on the

stage it leaves tonight well

uh thanks for

everything you played it perfectly Jim

and all the while I wanted to kill him

with my bare hands I can't say that I

blame you say do you know a man in

Denver by the name of Tom Walker I'll

say I do he's a contractor a business

rival of mine the kind of man who'd Rob

his own mother that I can believe that's

the man Bricker sold out to how do you

know I'll have to explain to you later I

want to keep on his Trail I think he'll

lead me to those Maps before that stage

leaves tonight you take it

easy for almost an hour red and I had

been staked out watching and

waiting

[Music]

Murdoch was telling Bricker how he had

pulled the wool over my eyes by giving

me the same description of the mythical

Bandits as Bricker had and sending me

off on a wild goose

[Music]

chase I'm want a trail prer you watch

that blacksmith and follow him wherever

he

goes

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

R's destination was a small small ranch

house a few miles out of town and I was

sure when he left the house he'd be

carrying the

[Music]

maps get them up hi keep them

there we're going to find out what

you're doing snooping around start

moving toward the

house

[Music]

I was on my way home to meet you when I

ran into this well it's a good thing you

did he's a US Marshall and I'm beginning

to think he's a lot smarter than he acts

the sooner I kill him the better there's

no telling how much he knows well put

that gun away

murduck I followed you out here because

I want to talk over some personal

business with you like what unlike

blocking Tiger's contract and collecting

for those survey Maps I'm cutting myself

in I don't know what you're talking

about well you should we're both in

milville on the same job only you beat

me to it just what are you trying to say

there are other contractors besides Tom

Walker who'd like to build that Branch

line and they're willing to pay more for

those

Maps just what do you know about Tom

Walker

plenty and whatever he's willing to pay

I know a man who will triple

it just what did Walker offer you $5,000

for the maps

5,000 ble Hawkins and El Paso will pay

25,000 for those Maps we'll split it

three ways is it a deal I'd say take

it you don't look like the kind of a man

who would turn crooked

Cassidy did you ever work for a

Marshall's

pay no I'm quite sure you didn't but I

have I've got a chance to make as much

money in 24 hours as I've made in the

last s years and I'm going to take it

all right I'm cutting you in good now

I'd like to see those Maps I want to

make sure I'm not being cut in on a pig

in the POG get the map

Sam

[Applause]

all right Marshall Cassidy just turned

honest again put those Maps back in the

case

Bricker now you're both under arrest

nobody's under

arrest put those guns down Marshall like

I said we should have killed him right

off yeah we got to get rid of him but

he's a US Marshall and if his body's

ever found it won't be I've always

wanted to see a man dig his own grave

outside get

moving now this spot here looks all

right it's nice and soft now start

digging well it's time I got back to

mville and catch the stage when I get to

Denver I'll deliver this and collect you

can meet me in a few days and pick up

your share how stupid can you murdocks

be I may not live to see it but I'm

betting by the time you get to Denver

Bricker will be long gone with the money

you keep out of this

Cassidy well you know you can trust me I

don't know I just think I'll stick with

you until you collect and we get our

share that's right Sam you go with him

I'll stay here and finish this

job I've been digging for more than half

an hour hoping that I'd get a chance of

blinding him with a spade full of

Earth that's enough dirt throw the

shovel

[Music]

out pleasant dreams

Cassidy thanks red I lost Murdock's

trail hoppy if I had seen your horse in

the brush I'd have been too late I'm

sorry don't worry about it you got here

while I go in the house and get my

[Music]

gun

[Music]

Bricker and Sam were not in the stage

but they had booked passage to the

junction the driver had last seen them

saloon I showed the driver my

credentials and instructed him not to

pull out until I gave the

word

[Music]

proof I understand Rick thinks he has

some proof just wishful thinking that

disposition papers Jason suggested I use

them I see well that kind of ties in

with my report on Jason I'll admit I

quarter Marshall if you don't mind I'm

going up in the hills see if I can't

find Rick well I wish you luck there you

are Ty that's the man Mr

Rand Marshall arrest that man what for

Jason for interfering with my men while

left your father he's been

if you just listen to me I'm listening

it'd be healthier for you to get out of

here you said you could prove some

things about Jason Rand why don't you

give yourself up and offer some of that

proof is that all you got to say no it

isn't your father's in town with a

friend of mine we're looking after him

bargain with you Rick wait for three

dangerous I'd still like to know what

she's doing here Trixie in

trouble come on I'd like to satisfy my

curiosity

[Applause]

she hired that rig to drive out to Jason

Ranch now this may only be a hunch but I

wish you'd ride over to EMT and find out

what the connection is between her and

Jason sure hoby I'm good at

snooping

you know Jason dear it makes a person

feel good to know they're so welcome of

course you are honey don't ever go back

to him it maybe I

won't I want a little favor Jason just

name it

$50,000 a little favor it's the amount I

need

dear what if I should say I couldn't get

that much cash together I wouldn't

believe it perhaps I should tell you how

urgent this is I mean urgent for you for

me remember I've seen you every time you

came to EMT you drank quite a bit you

talked quite a bit and I know quite a

bit about that last card game

can't get by with any less

eh no

dear even though I'm so very fond of you

blackmail is too big a favor to ask

dear pulling that trigger would be the

most stupid thing you've ever done Jason

I've written down everything I know

about you just in case anything happens

to me now be a good boy put that gun

away and fix me another

drink I admire clever women

Trixie it'll be better to have you on my

side Rick I brought you some food and

[Music]

water thanks I won't be needing it now

oh why not

time's up I'm going after Jason I want

you to wait till

tomorrow you hear

[Music]

me you lied you did bring somebody with

you they're not with me hold your

[Music]

cover come on let's get out of

here

I was too far away from the writers to

positively identify them but I thought

they were Jason's two

killers

Rick riick I couldn't get another answer

from Rick and I didn't dare try

following

[Music]

him

[Applause]

all right so I don't know how to fix

flowers but I got to get the boss

something I never knew you could be so

romantic

Jason well hello there Herman Pike

congratulations ma'am we're sure glad

you decide to stay as spell oh thank you

Pike well this calls for a celebration

fix us a drink wouldn't you honey oh go

on you're the lady of the house

now oh these flowers are lovely

Pike what happened it's all right to

talk well you had it figured right we

followed Cassidy he talked to Rick from

a distance and well we couldn't get a

good shot at either of

them drinks are on the house

Jen to you and the Mrs Boss to my luck

May Never End especially with such a

wonderful wife luck I'm the lucky one

Jason dear I never thought I'd have

$50,000 all at one time nice wedding

present you're

sweet you know Pike I hope you get

married someday it has a lot of

advantages for a

man yeah

advantages y Jason's been in EMT often

did a lot of drinking and gambling they

seemed pretty friendly with Trixie too

good work red and that ain't all I found

out she hinted that she had something on

some wealthy person and was going to

collect hey she must have known plenty

about Jason to get him to marry her

that's right Cassidy I think I'll go out

to the ran place and offer my

congratulations to the bride and groom

I'll see you later

gentlemen

I was playing a long shot but I was sure

of one thing in dealing with people like

Jason and Trixie you stand a pretty good

chance of using their suspicions to your

own

advantage

[Music]

Mr Cassidy come in thank you m

Rand I'm glad you stopped by well

congratulations are in order thanks

Refreshments no thanks not right now

where is the groom he rode off with Pike

doesn't speak well for a new bride does

it oh I don't know Jason has large

Holdings he has to work very hard to

protect them well I'll see to that I

wouldn't want him to lose any of this

please sit down I shouldn't think you

would you've done very well this is

quite an inheritance guess I am lucky

wonder what the girls back at the old

place would say if they knew I got a

$50,000 wedding

present what's the

matter oh I was just

thinking thinking what thinking maybe

you should have cashed that right

away what do you mean Mrs Rand sometimes

a man will do most anything until he

gets the woman he loves and

then oh but what am I talking about

Jason isn't that kind of a man of course

not besides it's too late the bank is

closed it does sort of remind me though

of a trick that Gus Adams played on his

Millie

trick yes it seems that Millie found out

about some shady dealings he'd been in

on and uh tried to blackmail

him what

happened oh he gave her a large check

then he married her so she couldn't

testify against

him and then to add insult to injury he

stopped payment on the check sto payment

on the

check I forgot a wife can't testify

against her husband can she oh

no what is it Mrs ran that dirty double

dealing murderer to think that I was

stupid enough to believe that Jason was

ever on the level with anybody what are

you talking about I won't let Jason get

away with this nobody plays Trixie for a

fool I'll tell all I know about him a

minute ago you said something about a

murderer what did you mean by that there

was a crooked card game in my place over

in EMT Jason cheated a man by the name

of Caldwell got his 160 Acres away from

him Caldwell's deed in Ashton's Place

were the last two strips that Jason

needed to own everything in this County

he's a

crook did uh Jason kill this Conwell yes

it was hushed

up could you give me the names of the

people that were mixed up in this I can

do better than that it's all written

down on a piece of paper in a strong box

locked in my trunk I'll show that Jason

nice speech Mrs Rand don't reach for a

gun Cassidy come on over here

Trixie please

Jason don't don't kill

[Music]

Homestead back from you Hoy ah you'll be

resolution for at least an

hour come on

hi there little

partners I understand there's been quite

a little talk around your house lately

about going to

bed now I know that we all hate to go to

bed we're always so afraid we're going

to miss

something but you must get a lot of

sleep and the time to go to bed is when

your mommy or your dad Daddy tell you to

not 15 minutes later or 20 minutes later

or not one or two television shows later

but right

now I'll see you next week until then

get lots of good sleep will you good

night moon to where Cowboys

say goodbye until
