[music playing]

How about getting that shipment of blue fox

on the way to Montreal?

Oh, forget that.

Those pelts are too fresh.

And then trapped out of season.

[music playing]

White Feather, he come, bring more skins.

Now, listen, this Indian's pretty slick.

He's probably got some more blue fox skins.

And he won't deal if there's anybody around.

Get in the other room.

Hawk, you know what to do.

[grunts]

Well, get going.

[knocking]

Come in.

Hello, White Feather.

All right.

We talk?

Why, sure.

Come on, White Feather.

We'll talk money.

How much, White Feather?

Same as last time.

You don't think I'm sucker enough

to pay you that for five pelts.

Ain't no five pelts.

20 pelts.

$10 each, and very cheap.

Are you trying to pull something over on me?

Where are the 20 pelts?

I bring 20 skins.

You make magic.

You steal my skins.

Are you crazy?

Get your skins and get out of here.

You a thief.

You stole my skins.

Help!

Help, Pierre!

Pierre!

Help.

You.

You all--

Get him out of here.

Get out of here, you dirty brave.

I fix.

I got a hunch that Indian's gonna squeal.

He don't dare squeal.

He trapped those fox out of season.

Oh.

So, boy, you ready for roll call?

And how about you, Captain?

Well, any orders today, Sergeant?

Sarge to you.

[laughing]

Thanks, Sarge.

I'm going over to the office to write some letters.

-All right. -Come on, Captain.

I want to see boss.

Take him over to the sergeant.

Come on.

Where are you from?

WHITE FEATHER: Big River.

Oh.

So how are things up there?

This Indian wants to see you.

Yes?

What do you want?

Alone.

All right, Harry.

What's your name?

White Feather.

Where are you from, White Feather?

Big River on the other side of the mountains.

Hm.

What's on your mind?

I see white man that steal furs.

What's his name?

Me no tell.

If I tell, he kill White Feather.

Me no tell you.

Oh, I see.

Then how am I to know?

Me gonna show you.

Oh.

You want to lead me to him, eh?

Yes.

How long has this been going on?

Many, many moon.

Oh, Jimmy.

It's one of my men.

Jimmy, this is White Feather.

He just brought me some valuable information.

He's going to point out the man who've been robbing the traps

at Big River all winter.

We'd better get our things ready.

Yes, Sarge-- I mean Sergeant.

My men and I will meet you wherever you say.

At Big River where the two trails cross near the big tree.

Very good.

You go.

We'll meet by the big tree where the trails cross.

Yes.

Tell Joe to drop in and see me.

All right, Mr. Mordant, I'll tell him.

OK.

Goodbye.

White Feather go away a long time, come back today.

Me see Mounties come over peak.

White Feather talk.

Jaccard, come here.

White Feather knows too much.

I'll take care of him.

Well, here's where the trails cross.

Yeah.

He said something about a big tree.

A what?

A big tree.

You mean trees.

Hello, White Feather.

They sure keep their word, don't they?

Oh, yeah, we won't have to wait very long now.

Come on, Jimmy.

Well, we sure made good time.

But you have some tough trails up here.

What's the matter, White Feather?

Are you sick?

Well, I guess they got to him first.

JIMMY DOWNS: Yes.

But there's more to this than just the stealing of furs.

This is going to make it tougher for us.

[dog barks]

Come on, Captain.

So, Captain, I guess Jimmy fell asleep.

You'd better go back and find him.

[screaming]

[screaming continues]

You had a very close call.

Yes.

And I don't know how to begin thanking you.

Well, then don't begin.

Do you live far from here?

Just a short distance.

My father's a trapper.

Knowing these waters as I do, I should have been more careful.

Overconfidence, I guess.

Yes, that causes a lot of spills in life.

Are you going to be in our country long?

Only as long as it takes to handle

a few assignments up here.

You say your father's a trapper?

Why, yes.

I'd like to meet him and have a talk with him.

Surely.

Dad always speaks so highly of you mounted men.

I know he would be pleased to meet you.

Hey, Sarge!

Why, hello Sarge.

I thought I'd never find you.

So I just took a little nap on the trail.

Hey, I didn't know it had been raining.

Oh, this is my comrade, Jimmy Downs, Miss-- say,

what is your name?

Yvonne Travis.

Yes, Jimmy, Yvonne Travis.

[laughing]

Kind of odd to go bathing with a girl and not know her name.

Isn't it?

[laughing]

Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?

I know it would make Father happy.

Well, uh--

Sure.

It's a great idea.

I'm tired of doing all the cooking.

[laughing awkwardly]

And I let you call me Sarge.

Ha-ha-ha.

Jimmy, how about the coffee?

Oh, the coffee.

Oh, the coffee.

I forgot all about the coffee.

Didn't you even start it?

Why, no.

My hear and soul was in my biscuits.

They are my specialty.

Well, they look good.

Yeah, they are good.

Never mind.

I'll start the coffee.

All right.

[blowing]

Hey, you.

Come here.

Turn around.

[chuckling] If you aren’t a dead ringer for Mother Machree.

Say, who taught you how to set a table?

What's wrong with it?

Your fork goes on the left and your knife

on the right and your spoon alongside your knife.

That's right, Sarge.

Sergeant.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello, sweetheart.

Oh, this is Mr. Morton and Mr. Downs.

I'm pleased to meet you, gentlemen.

It's a pleasure to have you in my house.

JIMMY DOWNS: Thank you.

BRUCE MORTON: Thank you.

Daddy, my canoe got caught in the Horseshoe Rapids

this afternoon and turned over.

And Mr. Morton saved me.

Yvonne, I told you to be careful.

[laughing]

How do you do, Mr. Travis.

Oh, you know, I've, uh, just been helping to cook a little,

you know.

I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart.

But you men are always doing such noble things.

Please.

And you treat them so lightly.

Well, in Gene Travis you have made a wonderful friend.

Yvonne is all I have in the world.

I don't know what I'd do without her.

And is she a swell cook.

You know, I'm dying to drink some of her coffee.

[laughter]

YVONNE TRAVIS: Daddy, dinner's ready.

Come along.

Now, listen, Travis is there.

Now, you know what you're supposed to do.

And don't miss.

You know, we get very lonesome around here.

And it's good to have visitors.

Thank you, Mr. Travis.

[gunfire]

Your dog deflected that bullet.

Come on, Jimmy, let's see what that is.

Please.

Don't go outside.

That shot was intended for me.

It-- just a little misunderstanding.

Let me settle this my own way.

Well, whoever fired that shot intend to kill you.

Would you mind telling me who your enemy is?

It might be well should anything happen to you.

Quite frankly, if anything should happen to me,

will you do me a favor?

Why, yes, if it's possible.

I'd like for Yvonne to leave this country.

I'd like a place in the convent in Montreal.

I promise.

I'll take care of her.

Thank you.

Aw, but nothing is going to happen.

It's been a hard winter for trappers, especially me, what

with thieves.

Why, I've been working for them all winter.

Well, that's what our government is very

interested in, Mr. Travis-- stamping

out this thievery of trappers.

There's been a lot of it going on up here.

And that's my mission.

Have you any clues you could help me with?

I have more than clues.

But this is one mission I hope you don't succeed in.

If you did, you'd never get out of here alive.

We'll take our chances.

Let's have it.

I know nothing.

The coffee, Yvonne, please.

[click]

[growling]

[barks]

[struggling]

[barking]

[barking]

Hope for a [inaudible].

Mordant.

Mordant.

What?

Me no kill Travis.

Oh?

Why not?

Mounties there.

Have they followed you?

No one come.

They no see me.

All right.

You keep out of sight.

And meet me at the post.

Did you order the feed for the horses, Jimmy?

I did, Sarge.

This is Mordant's place here.

Well, we'll wait here, Mr. Travis.

I won't be long.

Morning, Travis.

Good morning.

Didn't Yvonne come with you?

The Indian said you wanted to see me.

Oh, yeah.

I want to get that money you owe me.

It's way past due.

I can't pay you.

You know what's happened to me.

I must have a little more time.

Yeah?

Well, I need my money.

Of course, there's one way I might be willing to trade.

What trade?

Why, Yvonne.

She'd make a good wife.

That's impossible.

She doesn't love you.

And besides, she's too young.

Mhm.

Well, I'll give you three days to make up your mind, or--

Or what?

Well, you know me.

I usually get whatever I want.

Did you hear that, Jimmy?

I did, Sarge.

Let's have a look.

All right, Sarge.

Come on, Captain.

Ready to go home, Mr. Travis?

Oh, Mordant.

Sergeant Morton.

How are you, Sergeant?

Constable Downs.

How are you?

[barking]

Quiet, Captain.

He's probably met you before.

Me no see dog before.

Well, maybe you didn't.

Are you ready to go, gentlemen?

Hope to see you again, Sergeant.

You probably will.

All right, Captain, come on.

Get over to the hideout And tell the boys

to keep low until the Mounties get out of here.

[grunts]

Captain was right.

That Indian needs watching.

We'll follow him.

We'll join you later.

Captain, you take care of Mr. Travis.

Come on, Jimmy.

[barks]

Come on, Captain

-Let's trail him, Jimmy. -All right, Sarge.

Come on.

[knocking]

Mordant say look out.

Mounties here.

All right, Hawk.

Two knocks.

Yes, Sarge.

Mounties come.

[knocking]

Sarge?

Yes.

Shall I go and get the Indian, Sarge?

No.

I think we'll let him run loose for a while.

[barks]

[barking]

Here, Captain, come down out of there.

Haven't I told you not to annoy little animals?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

And besides, I want you to go and get

Dynamite down at the river and give him his bath.

It's Saturday, isn't it?

Go on.

Well, hello.

Good morning.

You're always doing such kind things, Mr. Morton.

Will you please stop calling me Mister.

It's just Bruce.

All right then, just Bruce.

[chuckling]

Yvonne, do you know who your father's enemy is-- the man who

tried to kill him last night?

I think I do.

But I'm afraid to tell you.

But you must tell me.

Your father's life depends on it.

Not today, but when we leave here,

your father will be killed.

Who is he?

Mordant.

He asked Father to let me marry him,

but Father has refused many times.

And if Father were dead, I would be left alone.

And all this timberland would be mine.

I'm so afraid of him.

Oh.

I see.

Well, you needn't worry about Mordant.

I'll take care of him.

I'm going to ask you a favor.

Will you stick with me?

Sure.

All right.

Now, if we can get Travis out of the way,

then I can marry his daughter.

Under the dominion laws, I'd be entitled

to half of the property.

And you know what that would mean.

It's a whole lot better than stealing furs.

But you gotta look out for these Mounties.

If they get wise, it's all off.

Now, are you with me?

Sure.

All right, men.

Now, men, this is what I want you to do.

Black Hawk, you take your gun and get behind those logs.

And you shoot that red coat when he shows up.

No.

You'll do as I say, or I'll turn you over to the Mounties.

They'll take a white man's word before they will an Indian's.

And you know what they'll do to you.

No kill Mountie.

Some day hang.

Me no do!

Now, you breed, will you do as I tell you?

All right.

Come on.

Get up out of here.

I'll show you birds who's running this outfit.

Now, listen, I can't be seen in this.

Now, Fred, get behind that log there and lay there and moan.

All right.

And when they get close enough, let them have it.

Leave it to me.

Come on, get up out of there, you, too.

Hurry up.

Here they come.

Why do we have to get up so early in the morning, Sarge?

That's the orders.

[yawning]

Can't we do a little more sleeping before we

go any further, Sarge?

[moaning]

[moaning]

[moaning]

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

That noise.

Yeah.

It sounded like a Scotsman stuck full of drinks.

[moaning]

You stay here.

I'm gonna have a look.

All right.

Come on, pip.

[grunting]

All right, men, get those ropes.

Tie them up.

This will take care of them.

When this dynamite goes off, they won't even find

a button on their uniforms.

Come on, fellas.

Go right up the hill.

[fuse hissing]

Bruce.

Bruce.

Bruce!

Quick, Bruce.

Gee, Sarge, that was a close one.

Yes. let's hurry and get out of here.

Right.

Hurry, Jimmy.

Now, listen.

You fellas do just as I say.

Now, follow me.

Now, you two grab the girl and take her to Eagle's Nest.

And wait there for me.

All right.

Go ahead.

[screams]

GENE TRAVIS: Yvonne.

Yvonne, will you come up a moment?

Now, listen, The minute he shows up, let him have it.

No.

Me no kill Travis.

Me no kill.

GENE TRAVIS: Yvonne.

[gunfire]

You kill good man.

My gun.

Me get blamed.

Shut up, you breed, you.

[panting]

It's The Hawk.

Me-- me like Mountie.

I no kill.

I come back, save you.

That's all right, Hawk.

Who got you?

Mordant.

He take girl, go Eagle's Nest.

He kill Travis.

He [inaudible].

Where is Eagle's Nest?

Eagle's Nest up, up, up--

Hawk.

Hawk.

Jimmy, go back.

Recruit some men.

I'll follow the trail.

When I find him, I'll send Captain back for you.

All right, Sergeant.

[whistles]

Listen, men.

This is what I want you to do.

Get across the border as fast as you can.

What for, Mordant?

I want Miss Travis to think that I rescued her.

You get the idea?

Sure.

You've got a little money.

And I'll send you some more later on.

-All right, boss. -Now, go ahead.

Captain.

Go back and get Jimmy, quick.

Are you all right, Yvonne?

Why-- why, hello, Sarge.

Why, we just got here in time, didn't we?

I took care of those two fellas that kidnapped Miss Travis.

That is, I-- I ran them away.

Mordant, in the name of the crown,

I arrest you for the murder of Travis and The Hawk.

Why, you--

[rushing water]

We'll just follow Captain, boys.

He'll lead us to him.

Wait, Constable.

There's two of Mordant's men now.

Let's get them.

There they are, men!

All right, let's get them!

All right.

Set him down over there, boys.

Get him.

Well, get him out there, boys.

What's the matter with you?

[grunts]

Come on. Get up.

Get up.

Come on.

[rushing water]

Get over there.

Where's Morton?

I don't know.

No?

I ain't seen Morton.

[SARCASTIC] Oh.

[barking]

Two of you men, take care of him.

The rest, follow me.

There they are, men.

Let's get them out of there.

Come on, get that guy going there.

You OK, Sarge?

-I'm OK. -All right.

Come on.

Jimmy.

Yes, sir?

Take this man to the barracks.

You bet, Sarge.

Good work, Captain, old boy.

I'm gonna get you a nice, big steak for this.

[chuckles]

Yes, Sergeant Morton and Jimmy Downs got a nice bonus.

Well, what's become of the girl?

Haven't you heard?

[music playing]
