Betty Winslow accidentally becomes aware of X-1's plan to liquidate his aide,

Silver, and is forced to accompany his abductors.

Greg and Stuff see Betty being taken away. They follow in Stuff's ancient car

and...

There's

a crossing up ahead. If I can beat that... I

hope

they have to stop at that railroad crossing.

If they don't, we'll never catch them.

I guess that took care of them.

It sure did.

Well, that sure put this word out of business.

Almost put us out of business, too.

Too close for comfort, but I'm glad it wasn't a tie.

Well, it's going to be a long walk home.

We'd better get to the nearest phone and call Captain Riley and have him pick us

up.

her up in the saddle room while I contact X-1 and get the lowdown on what

to do next.

All right, get up, miss.

Why don't you be reasonable, Walton? Give me a break. A what?

Have you give us the works?

X-3 calling X-1.

X-3 calling X-1.

Come in, please.

X-1 speaking.

Let me have your report.

We have silver in that Rodeo queen, Betty Winslow, here at the Hidden Valley

Ranch. The girl bought it in as we were leaving the cafe with silver and we had

to bring her along.

That's very fortunate.

Hang on to her.

She holds the key to some of the missing pearls.

Learn from her where her Aravanian horse was reshod.

When you obtain that information, see that she disappears.

And then secure the horseshoes and deliver them to me.

As for Silver, he must not leave the ranch alive.

Those are my instructions.

Carry them out.

Very well, sir.

Listen, Doc, we've always been pals, haven't we? You've got to give me a

chance. You've got to.

I never thought I'd ever see you crawl, Silver.

Come on, let's go.

small job of locking her up, Lefty. We better catch her or she'll have the

police after us. And you better pack up, Walden, and clear out of here.

They're down on the lefty. We've got to catch that girl.

I don't think X-1 is going to like our letting her get away. Yeah, we're liable

to find ourselves keeping company with Silver.

It was different with Silver. He tried to double-cross X-1. Well, we're

supposed to be working for him, so we better get busy. Doing what?

There's only one thing we can do right now.

That's to find out where the Winslow girl had her horse reshot and get a hold

of those horseshoes like X-1 ordered.

That might make up for letting the girl get away.

I came all the way wide open.

What about Miss Winslow?

I have an idea. They've taken her to Hidden Valley Ranch.

We'll soon find out.

Looks like my hunch was wrong.

No sign of them here.

Plenty of signs that they were here.

Wyatt Silver, the manager of George Pierce's Cafe.

They must have brought Betty here with him.

But at least she isn't here now.

You ask me, the trail is cold.

We'll pick it up.

handkerchief. This proves she was here.

Suppose you boys look over the ranch house for any clues while I put in a

call for the corner.

We'll do that, Captain.

I've been so worried. I've been here for hours.

I've been out all night looking for you. We knew they took you to that ranch, and

Greg found your handkerchief.

Well, fortunately, they put me within reach of a horse, and I was able to

escape. You see, they forgot that I'm queen of the rodeo. But where have you

been all night? We tried to contact you by phone every hour.

Well, I was afraid that those men might follow me to my trailer, so I went to a

hotel. I came here first thing this morning.

If we expect to clear up this affair, we'll have to keep on our toes from now

on. Captain Raleigh thinks we can pick up the trail of those men at the

Carnival Midway. I'm sure he's right. My car's outside.

Well, let's go.

See you later, Captain.

Hi, Pop.

Pop, you and the armament.

Well, hello, Joe. How are you, son?

Did you have a nice trip?

I sure did.

Well, that's mighty fine, boy.

Glad to see you back.

You want to take a couple shots?

Well, I don't mind if I do. Go ahead. Take your squirrels up there, boy.

All right, Lefty, try your luck.

Okay, Doc.

I always did like shooting ducks, especially when it's on the house.

You heard me.

We'll be shooting live ducks if we don't get the information we're after.

Well, I don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe you don't, Pop.

But your pal there does.

And if he don't talk, this will.

We'll have to be shooting clay pigeons. Nobody will hear me knock over a couple

of live ones.

You better start talking.

What is it you want to know?

Where did the Winslow girl have her horse reshot?

Don't you get him, Joe. Don't you get him.

That'll teach him to mind his own business.

You better start shooting, Lefty, unless he starts talking.

Don't shoot.

I'll tell you. The horses reached out to Garrity's blacksmith shop.

Where's that?

In Newhall.

That's all we wanted to know. Let's clean this up.

Pop, what happened to you and Joe?

Oh, two men were here.

See, and I didn't want Joe to tell.

Tell what?

Well, Betty had her horse recharged.

Did Joe tell them?

He had to.

Gary, this must be shot.

Great. Joe's in pretty bad shape. He's been wounded.

You better call an ambulance, Doc. Right.

Who were the two men, Pop?

Oh, I don't know.

But one of them was called Doc, and the other one was Lissy, Lefty.

Why, those are the two men I got away from.

Betty, you help Pop take care of Joe.

Where are you going?

Garrity's blacksmith shop.

I'll give you just ten seconds, Garrity, to tell me where the shoes are that you

took off the Rodeo Queen's horse.

You better start talking, big fella.

A whole mess of horse shoes.

Yeah.

Hey, Gary, come here.

You know the shoes we want? Start digging.

Better give me a hand.

All right, fellas, get moving.

Do you want these too?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Thank you all for the help. You're welcome.

The last one will overtake us. Fast!

We must do something to stop them.

I will make use of our weapon when we reach the curve ahead.

Thank you.

What treacherous game is the prince playing now? Will X-1's hirelings again

prevail against the forces of law?

Don't fail to see Closing In, Chapter 14 of The Vigilante, at this theater next

week.
