Bye.

to acquire the white horse presented to Greg Sanders.

Intercepting the prairie troubadour as he returns from his motion picture work

with Steph and Betty, the men tamper with the horse-trailer connection.

But their plans go suddenly awry as... I see.

Well, if that's all it is, we'd like to be on our way.

All right. Now, you take it easy like I told you.

We're okay.

It takes more than a high dive like that to put us out of business.

I wonder what caused that trailer to break away.

I don't know. The effective coupling, I guess.

Come on, boy.

Well, our plan sure went haywire.

Yeah. Say, you'd better get me back to my car before they get wise to us.

come loose somehow.

What do you mean by that?

There's that officer who stopped us and another man in a car.

I'd better investigate that.

Why don't you, Greg? I'll take your horse home.

There isn't any saddle.

Have you forgotten my billing?

Queen of the Rodeos?

Thanks, Betty. You're swell.

Follow me. If they get too close, I'll take care of them.

I have an idea who those men were after. Who?

You.

Me?

Yes. This all ties in with the death of Prince Emil's aide at Pierce's ranch.

And the curse of the hundred tears of blood that Hamid spoke of before he

died. You mean because I was in Pierce's stables when Anna Erevanian was killed?

Yes. Whoever murdered him may be afraid that you can identify him.

Well... I hope that's a call we're waiting for.

Sanders speaking.

Oh, yes.

Okay, Jim.

Yes, let's have it.

No, don't set out an alarm.

I want to investigate.

Okay. Goodbye.

Do you have a coupe license number 7T8317?

And if so, I'd like to know to whom you last rented it. Who is this? The police?

No, this is not the police.

Then I can't give you the information.

Hung up on you, huh?

This is X-13.

Let me talk to X-1.

We're not getting the first base this way, but there's another way.

Right.

If it's who I think it is, he'll try again.

He may even visit you.

If he does, be prepared for him.

It was stolen from me yesterday.

Did you report it to the police?

Yeah.

Very clever, Mr. Lenz. But watch your step and tell your pal to do likewise.

How'd you like the sound effects?

Well, and very timely, too.

Did you do it any good?

No. We're up against a smart outfit that'll give us plenty of trouble.

But you should have disposed of that man who calls himself the vigilante. He is

dangerous to us.

We tried to, X-1, but we thought we heard the police coming.

Report back here at noon tomorrow.

I have another job for you.

All right, folks, step right up. Step right up and see Bongo captured in the

walls of the Congo.

or you ain't going to shoot him at all.

Kansas is long gone, can't you?

Look, if I make them targets any easier to hit, I'd have to go plumb out of

business.

Any three-year-old could do... Oh, hello there, Greg.

Hey, how are you and Steph getting along?

Fine, how's it going with you, Pop? This corny old character here offers prizes

for good shooting, then moves the targets so fast you can't hit them.

What are you talking about?

Fine if I try.

No, see where it's come up. No, go right ahead, Greg.

Didn't I tell you to see?

How can I win?

Did Betty get back all right yesterday?

Yeah, she came riding in here bareback on that white horse that that prince

gave her.

See what goes on.

That's a long story, Pop. I sure thought I'd find Greg here.

I wonder where he could be.

I don't know, but I hope he shows up in time to see the special performance I'm

giving for the prince this morning.

I'm riding my new horse in the act. You mean the stunt with the stagecoach and

the Indians and everything?

That's right. You better run along and find Greg. I'm due at the arena right

now. See you later.

Have you seen stuff?

No, sir, I ain't seen either.

I ain't never seen... Oh, there he is now. There he is.

Greg, here's one of those guys that tried to make deep-sea divers out of us.

The one that pretended he was a cop.

You stay here.

Hi, George. I wish somebody would tell me just what's going on here.

Hey, what is this?

I did as long as I could. Did you catch him? No.

Say, he must be good to get away from you.

Cut out the flattery. Have you seen Betty?

Yeah, she wants us to come over to the arena to see the special performance

she's given for Prince Emil.

All right, let's go. And keep a sharp lookout for that fellow.

You boys all set? Yeah, I got all the dope on the girls there. Good.

We gotta watch out for Greg Sanders. I just ran into him down here.

Well, if I run into him, I'll take care of him.

Come on, let's go.

It was very kind of you, Miss Winslow, to have arranged this special

performance just for me.

I'm quite honored. I appreciate it, too, Betty.

Well, you're both very welcome, I assure you.

And I hope you enjoy the act.

dragon stuff accomplish against the powerful forces arrayed against them?

Can the vigilante alone and unaided solve this mystery?

Be sure to see Desperate Flight, the fourth action chapter of The Vigilante,

at this theater next week.
