>> Start easy them up, California. We'll

make camp here.

>> All right, Hubby, I'll tell the boys.

All right, boys. We're calling it a day.

>> Man, is that good news? My stomach's

been arguing with me for hours.

>> Mine, too.

>> Why are you young heads always yelling

for your nursing bottles?

>> Well, we're still growing, aren't we? Of

course, you wouldn't understand that.

You're all through. You stopped

sprouting years ago.

>> I've stopped sprouting. I ain't growing.

Why are you young? That young sure told

me all.

They're pitching camp lefty.

>> Well, this is our chance.

That grub ain't ready pretty soon. I'm

going to eat the harness right off of

them horses. Oh, the horses.

>> So, it's us youngans who are always

yelling for our nursing bottles, huh?

>> A man's got to eat, ain't he? Where's

Bud?

What's the matter with him?

>> I don't know, Hoppy. He sure seems down

the dump.

>> Come to think of it, he's been mighty

short of conversation lately.

>> What's the matter, kid? You look like

you lost your best friend. I've been

thinking about tomorrow, Hoppy. After we

drive the herd into the pens at the

railroad yard when my job will be over.

>> Ah, so that's what's worrying you, huh?

>> Yeah. I've been mighty happy at the bar

20.

>> Well, you know, it's generally pretty

quiet around till next roundup time.

>> Yeah, I know. But won't you let me stay

on, guys? I don't care anything about

wages. I I'll work just for my keep. I

was kicked around plenty until you took

me in. Your ranch has sort of become

home to me. I hate to think of leaving.

I think we can figure something out.

>> Oh gosh. Hoppy,

>> it's all right, kid. You three go back

to the chuck wagon and fill up. I'll get

down to the river bed and stand guard.

You know, we're still in the edge of the

bad lands.

>> I'll do it, Hoppy.

>> All right.

[music]

>> Well, I guess we all better stand guard.

Them dang rustlers is have to try it

again.

>> I don't think they were rustlers.

>> You mean them bushwackers was aiming to

cut the kid down?

>> Kind of looks that way. I don't think

two lone wrestlers attack a herd that

size.

>> That's just what I was thinking, Hoppy.

>> But have you any enemies you know of? I

know.

>> You better get back to camp. You're too

good a target out here. We'll stay here

and stand guard.

Hey,

dogies. Don't you cry. You'll be juicy

t-bone. Byebye.

>> Come on you three, the other boys and

finish loading. We'll go over to the

bank.

Mark

Wilson.

>> Well, I see old Jed Stevers is still

here. Yeah.

>> Rare railmore chang.

>> What's he selling?

>> That's a town postmaster. He's trying to

get rid of some unclaimed letters.

>> Yeah. Every time a trail her comes to

town, he pulls the town prior to

>> Hi again.

>> Howdy, howdy. Howdy, howdy.

>> Rotten. These concerned unclaimed

letters are pouring in. I'm pushed OUT

OF HOUSE AND HOME.

Bud Lton.

>> Hey, Jed. Did you say Bud Lton?

>> I sure did.

>> It'll be an awful shock to you. You got

a customer.

>> Good for me.

>> Here he is right here.

>> Here it is, Sunny. And by the mess of

writing on it, it's been following you

from Hades to breakfast.

Revel.

[music]

>> What is it, kid?

>> From a lawyer in my hometown.

>> Bad news.

>> My dad's dead.

Oh, that's too bad.

>> You see, I I left home when I was just

old enough to mount a horse.

I couldn't see things my dad's way.

Now I wish I

>> Where is your home?

>> The Poncho District. Diamond Hitch.

>> The Diamond Hitch. See, I've heard of

that spread. Must be a bumper.

>> Yeah, it's one of the biggest in the

section.

>> Looks like you're going to have your

hands full from now on.

I know it's a crazy thing to ask, but

>> Well, go ahead. You're among friends.

>> Yeah, I know. That's That's why I was

going to ask if maybe you three had come

along with me.

>> Oh, you'd like to, but we got to think

about the bar 20.

>> Yeah, but it would just be long enough

to kind of help me get things started.

You see, there's only my sister there

now.

>> Sister

Hoppy, we can't let Bud down. It's only

right to help out a pal.

>> Help out a pal, huh? Uh, maybe we can

figure out something. We'll talk it over

after I pay off the boys.

>> Pardon me. Is there a lawyer in town?

>> Sure. Right over there on the corner.

Thank you.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Well, come in.

Oh, how are you?

>> Oh, what do you want, young fell?

>> I'd like to have a partnership agreement

drawn up, please.

>> Well, sit down. Sit down then.

>> Thank you. It's a nice day, huh?

>> Oh, fine.

>> Yeah.

Just

a minute here. Now, now, where is that

pen?

>> It's behind your ear. I know it is. I

know it. Now, uh, what names you want

written down here? Uh, Hop Along

Cassidy, California, Carlson, Jimmy

Rogers, and Bud Lockton. All share

equally, and twothirds of the Diamond

Hit Ranch in Poncho County.

>> Now, wait a minute. Now, just hold your

horses. Slow.

>> Hop along, Cassidy.

>> Hop along,

Cash, Eddie.

Yeah. Well, seeing that you're sober and

and apparently in your right senses, I'd

say that you were being pretty generous.

These fellas must be mighty good friends

of yours.

>> Three of the very best, mister.

>> Yeah. Well, sign here.

Uh, where are the other fellas?

>> Oh, well, uh, I'll go round them up.

Yeah. All right. All right.

All right, keep moving, buddy.

>> What's the matter?

>> Never mind. What's the matter? Just keep

walking and be careful.

[music]

You fellas are a bit previous, aren't

you? Haven't paid off yet.

Hey, what is this?

Get a fine bud and get a bite to eat

salad.

>> Yeah,

[music]

it's the kid.

[music]

Somebody to get a doctor quick.

Bud.

Bud. Hoppy.

Hoppy.

Bud. Who got you?

I don't know. Hoppy.

Strangers.

One one of them is left-handed. [music]

[music]

Would want to kill that boy. He never

hurt nobody.

>> Oh, that's too bad. It's a good thing

you signed them papers.

[music]

>> What papers you talking about?

>> Say, do you three fellas happen to go by

the names of uh Hopalong Cassidy [music]

and California Carlson and Jimmy Rogers?

>> That's right.

>> Uh uh Jay Griffin is my name. I'm the

lawyer here in town. I I wish you fellas

had come over to my office.

>> Where is your office? [music]

>> Uh it's just around the corner over

there. It'll

>> be over a little later.

>> Yes. Thank you.

>> Yes. Come in.

Oh,

>> you want to see us about something?

>> Yes. The boy had me draw that up just

before he was shot.

>> Well, Bud's given us a 2/3 interest in

his range.

>> He has. Here you are. Sign it. We can't

do that, Hoppy. We can't take it from

Bud. No, that wouldn't be right.

>> Well, ordinarily we wouldn't, but

there's a special reason why we're going

to.

>> Special reason.

There you are.

Uh, after I have this recorded, where do

you want it sent?

>> Dress up it to hop along Cassidy and

mail it to Poncho.

>> Poncho?

>> Yeah. I got some unfinished business to

take care of a little bit later.

>> Poppy, we ain't leaving till we nail the

hides of them two skunks. They got bud.

>> You're not going to find them around

here.

>> You think that agreement had something

to do with it?

>> I don't know yet, but I got an idea the

hunting will be better in Poncho. Thank

you very much.

>> Uh, yes. It's all right. Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Me too. Thank you very

much. Okay. Thank you.

[music]

[music]

>> Well, so long, boys.

>> So long, hoppy. [music] What do you mean

so long? I said I had some unfinished

business to take care of over in Poncho.

You two better get back to Bar 20 and

look after things.

>> But Hoppy, you forget that Bud was our

[music] pal, too. Key by Gravy. You

can't ride around that, Hoppy.

>> No, you can't.

>> Well, looks like me and California will

have to go it alone then. That's right.

Let's go, Jimmy.

>> Wait a minute. You're ganging up on me,

huh?

>> That's the way she stands.

>> All right, you two rebels. Come on.

[music]

Now, on that Denton trip, no slip up of

any kind. You're sure of that?

>> You can lay all your bets on it, boss.

>> His three friends cramped their style a

bit the first time, but we finished a

job in town for certain. Those three

friends that you speak of, there's no

kickback from them.

>> No, they're past history. The kid just

worked for him. Chances are they forgot

all about him the minute he was planted.

>> All right.

Now, one last word. Remember all of you,

we're playing for big stakes. mighty big

stakes, an empire of cattle and land.

The Diamond Hitch is not only the key

ranch, but it controls the water

privileges of the entire district. Once

I take over, I'm clamping down. No more

free water. That means that the other

ranches will dry up like dust and blow

away. Then all we have to do is step in

and grab the valley for ourselves.

Right.

>> Didn't old Sam Lton mention something

about that water question, his will?

Yes, there was a clause specifying the

water rights be kept in force, but that

only applies to the heir or heirs, not

to a new owner. The minute the diamond

hitch changes hands, that provision

becomes null and void. I certainly got

to hand it to you, bolts, the whole

thing is foolproof.

>> Maybe. But don't forget, no matter how

foolproof a thing might be, one wrong

move will wreck everything. So, be on

your toes, all of you. I'm riding out

now to get everything ready. I'll pick

up the lot and girl on the way back.

You have Judge Stevens on hand.

I told you to lay off that stuff.

>> Well, what do you want me to do? I've

been going nuts talking to myself.

>> Well, your waiting time is over. Today

you become Bud Lton, the missing heir of

the diamond hitch. Are you sure you have

everything straight?

>> Everything? [snorts] I've been studying

that guy's habit so long and beginning

to think I am Bud Lton.

>> Well, you look enough like him to fool

even his sister.

>> I hope so. You know, Foster, you're a

neat schemer. You put me in as 2/3 owner

of the Diamond Hitch. Pretty soon you'll

buy me out on paper, then you start

working on the girl for her one-third.

>> That part won't interest you. You'll be

paid off and on your way then.

You know,

I've been thinking.

Suppose that girl finds out about her

brother's death.

>> She won't. I've taken steps to see that

no word will reach her.

>> Well, that eases my mind a lot. You

know, a stretch in the pen don't exactly

appeal to me.

>> Well, clean yourself up. Wait about an

hour, then ride into Tom. Come to my

office.

>> Okay.

Well, boys, we're about there. Might be

a good idea if we rode into town

separately and kind of played strangers

while we have a look around.

Howdy, Miss Lton. A mighty happy day for

you.

>> I should say it is. I can hardly believe

my brother's coming home at last.

>> Hello, Jed Steven.

>> How are you, F?

>> Oh, Mr. Foster, are you sure Bud will

arrive today?

>> Well, here's the telegram.

>> Well, let me see.

>> Oh, goodness. I'm so excited. I don't

know what to do.

>> Excuse me, gentlemen. Did Miss Martin

Lton say her brother was coming home?

>> That's right. And we're all on hand to

give Sam Lton's kid a real welcome.

>> Ah, that's fine. Thank you.

>> Say, did you hear what I heard?

>> Yeah, I don't get it. Must be something

wrong with my ear. How can Bud be coming

here when

>> Hey, uh, can you tell me where Mark

Foster's office is?

>> I'll bet you're Sam Lton's son.

>> You're right.

>> Well, welcome home, son. Welcome home.

Thank you.

>> Thank you very much. Glad to see you.

>> Your ears didn't fool you.

>> Nothing escapes me. A good ears like a

mule.

>> Something to that, too.

>> We're sure glad to have you back here.

Thank you.

>> Hello there. I'm Mark Foster. I presume

you're Bud Lawson.

>> That's right.

>> Glad to see you, son.

>> Thank you.

>> Come inside.

>> You can't take him yet, Foster. We're

taking him over at the last chance to do

a little celebrate.

>> I'm afraid that'll have to be put off.

His sister's waiting for him.

>> Sorry, boys.

I think I'm going local. First I hear

things, now I'm seeing them.

>> He's down, will you? It looks like we

run into something.

>> Faith.

>> Bud. Oh, bud.

>> You sure grown up, Faith. I wouldn't

have known you in a crowd. I wouldn't

have recognized you either. But then

it's been almost 10 years since you left

the ranch.

>> Yeah,

long enough to make a lot of changes in

people.

>> But you're home now, bud. To stay

>> and that's all that matters.

>> Sure.

Uh you remember Judge Stevens, of

course.

>> Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, Judge. It's all

right. I understand. Glad to see you

back.

>> Thank you. Well, judge, I'm satisfied as

the executive of the state to turn

everything over to Sam's children.

>> Better well, I'll proceed at once with

the necessary legal matters.

>> You two better run along. I suppose

you're anxious to get out to the ranch.

>> I should say I am. Goodbye.

>> Hello, buddy.

>> Don't forget now you're all invited to

the party tonight. Thank you. We'll be

there.

>> We'll be there.

>> Well, what we waiting for? Let's get

that dang faker and kill her.

>> Not so fast. There's no argument about

him being a fake, but it's the other I'm

not so sure.

>> But Hoppy, it's clear as day. That fell

learned of Bud's inheritance, cut him

down. Now he's trying to grab it for

himself.

>> Maybe and maybe not. I got a feeling

that boy isn't in this alone.

>> You mean somebody else is pulling the

strings?

>> Hunt seems to run that way. At least

we're not tipping our hands just yet.

>> And what's our next move, hubby? I'm

just itching for action.

>> Ease down, you old fire eater. If I'm

not far wrong, you'll get plenty of

action and soon. Come on.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Doesn't it feel good to be home, bud?

>> It certainly does, sis. The place looks

just the same.

>> No. Not the same, Dad. [music] It

>> Oh, yes.

>> Yes, I know.

>> Bud.

But I hate to bring up unpleasant things

on your first day home, but it's

serious. Uh, you see, most of the men

have quit. I've been almost frantic

trying to run this place all alone. Oh,

but now that you're back, I know

everything's going to be all right.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Jumping horn toads. What a spread. You

could ride for months and still be on

the Diamond Hitch train. Can you imagine

Bud leaving all this? It's kind of hard

to understand. After all, he's just a

kid. Maybe a little stubborn. [music]

Right over and asked those men the way

to the main ranch house.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> What's all the shooting about, boys?

>> I don't know. have been too much with

going around here to suit me.

>> That goes for me, too. Well, it's too

bad we kind of hope we can land a job

around here.

>> That won't be hard. It'd be free. I

didn't get her paid. That is going to

her out as a target.

[music]

[music]

>> Poppy, this mess is spreading like a

Texas whistle. Yeah, it's getting more

twisted all the time.

[music]

>> But

>> h

>> haven't you noticed anything?

>> No. What?

>> Oh, don't you remember your quart?

>> Well, yeah. Yeah.

>> You were so mad the day you left, you

rode away without it.

>> Yeah, I remember. Dad gave it to me.

>> Don't you remember, bud? I gave it to

you.

It was a birthday present.

Oh,

>> forgive me, Faith. I guess my mind was

on the mess this ranch is in.

>> I know, dear.

I know just how you feel.

>> You know, sis, I think it would be a big

mistake for us to try to hang on to the

diamond hitch.

>> You mean you want to sell it?

>> It's not that I want to, but what else

is there to do? I'm only thinking of

you. I don't want you to lose

everything.

Bud, dad made me promise that we'd never

let go of the diamond hitch.

Why? He spent all of his life here.

This place meant everything to him.

And besides, every rancher in the valley

depends on our water supply. And Bud,

Bud, the last thing that Dad said was,

"Tell your brother not to let our

neighbors down." But we've got to think

of ourselves first. Without men to stand

guard, we'll be robbed blind. That

organized band of rustlers is too

strong.

>> Well, now that you're back, I know we'll

be able to get help. Oh, but don't you

see? The men need a leader. They resent

taking orders from a woman.

>> It's not only that, Faith. I've been on

the go too much to settle down anymore.

Bud, I'll never agree to sell the

diamond hitch.

>> I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to

prevent it. Remember, I'm 2/3 owner.

Hello, boys.

>> Miss Lutton, we want our time. We're

quitting. Oh,

>> won't you please stay? You're the last

three on the ranch.

>> I'm sorry, miss. Our mind's made up.

>> What seems to be the trouble, Faith?

>> Oh, Bud, the boys want to quit. So,

fellas, this is my brother, Bud.

>> Hello.

>> He's going to take charge from now on.

>> Nothing he can do to stop that

bushwagon.

I don't suppose there's any chance of

persuading you to change your minds.

>> We'll gladly pay you a bonus.

>> Money is no good for you when you're 6

feet under the ground. Goodbye.

>> Goodbye.

You see, Faith, it's hopeless.

>> I ran across a prospective buyer on the

way up here. I'll get in touch with him

and close the deal.

>> Oh, but bud.

>> Beg your pardon. I understand you're

taking on some new hands.

>> I'm afraid you've come at the wrong

time. The ranch is being sold. However,

it might pay you to get in touch with

the new owners later on.

Thanks.

He's

>> sure working fast. Figuring to make a

quick sellout and then be the most

Excuse me, Miss Bodton. I'm Hop Along

Cassidy.

>> How do you do?

>> These are my friends, California Carlson

and Jimmy Rogers.

>> How do you do?

Of

>> course, you don't know us, but we were

acquainted with your father. So, when we

heard of his death, we came at once to

see if we could be of any help. Well,

>> that's awfully nice of you, Mr. Cassidy,

but I don't think there's anything you

can do.

>> Maybe there is. I just overheard your

brother say he was selling the ranch. I

gathered you weren't agreeable.

>> I'm not. But there's nothing I can do.

You see, he's 2/3s owner.

>> Maybe I can change his mind.

I'm afraid it's hopeless. Bud won't

listen to me, his own sister.

So, what chance does a stranger have?

>> Your father used to listen to me. Maybe

I can convince his son.

>> All right, Mr. Cassidy, you go ahead.

I'll be grateful for anything you can

do.

>> Good. Now, do you mind telling me who's

handling the estate?

>> Jed Stevens.

>> Fine. California and I go into town.

Jimmy can stay here and look after the

stock. Oh. Uh, do you mind if we come to

the party tonight?

>> Of course you may.

>> Thank you.

>> I'll take care of everything. Hoppy.

>> Hello there. How are you?

>> Fine. Hello.

>> And by the way, please don't say

anything to your brother about our

conversation.

>> No, I won't. Thank you.

Jimmy's spitting him into me in my

younger days.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. You know, Hoppy, the girls just

used to fall all over themselves trying

to

>> They get away from you.

>> Yeah.

>> Get away from me. [laughter]

>> Come on, get that old crowbait moving.

Let's get out of town.

>> Crobate?

Sensitive.

>> [music]

>> I thought I told you we weren't taking

on anyone.

>> I have something to say about that. Mr.

Rogers estate

>> boyfriend. Eh,

>> please.

>> I'm going to take a look around the

place.

>> You know, I I can understand him,

but doesn't seem like my own brother or

he's more like a stranger.

Well, you know, he

>> What did you start to see?

>> I [music] wasn't going to say anything.

Just I don't want you to take a think I

took offense [music] at what he said.

Matter of fact is I'd like such an

arrangement.

>> Aren't you being a little forward, Mr.

Rogers?

>> Well, Hoppy always [music] told me to

put my best foot forward.

>> Both feet.

>> Honest, I wasn't trying to be fresh.

>> Oh, that's all right. I'm sure that any

friend of Mr. [music] Cassid's means

well.

>> There it goes again. Hoppy this, Hoppy

that. Man, woman, and beast. They fall

for him like a ton of brick.

>> Well, he is very nice. However, don't

look so glum, Mr. Rogers. I'm saving my

second dance just for you this evening.

>> Second dance?

>> That's Well, second dance. Why not the

first one?

>> Oh, that's for Mr. Cassidy.

[music]

[music]

While I'm in talking to the judge, you

take a look around. See if you can find

out anything about that left-handed

gunslinger.

>> I'll do that, Hoppy. [music]

>> And don't get into trouble. I can't be

with you every minute.

>> Oh, darn it, Hoppy. You treat me like it

was all I care. I can take care of

myself any day without any help from

you.

>> Oh, sure.

>> Remember that.

>> I will.

Come in.

>> Oh, you Judge Steven?

>> Yes.

>> I'm Hop Along Cassidy.

>> Oh, how do you do, Mr. Cassidy? Won't

you come in?

>> Thank you.

>> Uh, have a seat.

>> Thank you.

>> What can I do for you, Mr. Cassidy?

>> It's about the uh List Street.

>> Yes.

By the way, how long have you known Bud?

>> Ever since he was born. His father was

my very best friend.

>> Is that so? He's a nice boy, isn't he?

>> Yes, he was. But I don't know. When he

returned today, well, he acted almost

like a stranger. Something about him was

different.

>> You noticed that, huh?

>> Yes. But I suppose time changes all of

us.

>> Yes, I guess it does. But uh there seems

to be a slight misunderstanding about

who's going to own the ranch.

>> Oh, I don't think so, Mr. Cassidy.

Everything is settled.

>> Well, maybe maybe I can explain what I

mean.

Uh just before we left Denton,

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> No chance,

boys.

Good day. [music]

>> And I'll just have to raise that. Good

play.

>> That's the most amazing thing I ever

heard. It's fantastic. Utterly

fantastic.

>> But it's true. every word of it.

>> Well, I hope you have something

tangible, some proof to bear out your

story.

>> Well, I expect the partnership agreement

on today's stage.

>> You intend to make use of it?

>> I certainly will if it'll keep that fake

brother from getting the ranch.

>> Then Mark Foster must be informed

immediately.

>> Oh, for the time being, I'd rather we

kept this just between ourselves.

>> But I've already returned the papers to

him. He must be told or he'll go ahead

and turn over the estate to this

imposttor.

>> Don't worry about that. I'll see that he

doesn't. Yeah, but why are we Why not

expose this boy immediately?

>> Not now. I'm convinced that the boy is

small fry. Any move at this time might

disturb the big fish.

>> Oh, I see. Well, I certainly do

appreciate your coming over, Mr.

Cassidy.

>> Thank you.

>> I'll take one. Sorry to

pull anything. Three.

I'll bet 10.

I bet

>> 10 and 10 better.

>> Did you make it?

[music]

>> 20 and I'll raise you 20.

See that and raise you 40.

[music]

>> I'll see that 40 and raise you 80.

Come on out.

>> All right, I'll see that easy.

>> Now, wait a minute. You can't bluff a

man with a pet hand you didn't fill.

>> You

worm, I'll break every bone in your

body.

>> Take your dirty paws off of me.

>> Yes, sir. I'm sure for an armory that

can take care of himself.

>> I'm just going to run you out of town

for that bum steer. You old goat. Now

get out of here. Clear out of town. Go

on.

>> This is the end of the line. You stay

up. [music]

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

Heat. [music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> I can look at myself.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> You had enough.

[music]

>> Well, say it.

>> Say what? Oh, that I'm just a helpless

old fool fit for the boneyard. I guess

>> that's about right.

>> Yeah. Huh?

>> You said so yourself.

>> Shook. So I did. Journey down. Must be

getting soft in the head as well as in

the car. Just running myself down that

way.

>> Don't take it so hard. Let's go see if

that partnership will bring me in.

>> Boys, watch this.

Well, who worked you over?

>> Some strangers. From the looks of them,

I'm pretty sure I ran into those fellows

Sonora was telling us about.

>> You mean them three from Denton?

>> Well, there were only two of them, but

they fit your description to a tea.

>> I believe I can account for the third

one,

the young fella. He's at the ranch. The

three of them showed up out there

looking for work.

>> Work? They didn't come here looking for

work. I thought you said there'd be no

kickback.

>> Well, there's nothing that can't be

cleaned up now.

>> Well, get out and do it. You better

watch out for that big fella's right. It

comes at you like the high end of a

mule.

>> He won't get a chance to use it.

>> Foster, I don't like the looks of this.

Things are getting too hot to suit me.

>> You getting ready to tuck your tail

between your legs and play jack rabbit?

>> No.

>> Now, don't worry. I'll finish with you

and have you on your way in no time.

Now, this is what I want you to do

tonight at the party.

>> [music]

>> I wonder if the other two would show up.

[music]

Was [music]

she originally to meet up with that

fell? Man still hurts.

>> Yeah.

>> Not in there.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Want to dance? [music]

>> Pleasure.

[music]

>> Thank you very much.

Mr. Cassidy, I'm so glad to see you.

>> Thought it was a good time to make that

announcement.

>> Yes,

>> friends.

Friends, I I have something rather

unpleasant to tell you. I think you

ought to know that my sister and I are

disposing of the diamond hitch.

>> Boy, I hope you know what that will mean

to these ranchers.

>> You mean about the water rights? Your

dad always took care of us with that,

son. Without his help, we couldn't have

existed.

>> Yes, I know. I'll do everything I can to

try to persuade the new owners to

continue the arrangement.

>> Well, who are you selling to, bud?

>> A large eastern syndicate. Uh, they

don't want me to mention any names until

the deal is closed.

Well, I'm afraid you'll all have to

excuse me. I have to leave immediately

in order to meet the syndicates

representative at the county seat in the

morning. Good night.

>> Just a minute.

What do you want?

>> I'm afraid you'll have to hold up the

sale of the ranch.

>> What are you talking about? Suppose you

explain what this is all about.

>> I think this will explain it.

>> Why? This is a four-way partnership

covering twothirds of the Diamond Hits

Ranch.

>> Yes. And it's signed by Bud Lton. I

never signed any such paper.

>> I didn't say you did. I said it was

signed by Bud Lton.

>> Mr. Cassidy,

what do you mean?

>> Miss Lton, I held back telling you this

as long as I could, but Bud was shot

down at Denton.

This man isn't your brother.

>> You was either to be drunk or crazy.

Take it.

Little water.

>> Keep your head, you fool. Say nothing.

I'll handle it. Let me see this.

>> Here's some water for you.

>> Take it.

I'm sorry I had to be so blunt about

telling you.

>> I understand, Mr. Cassidy.

I understand.

>> Now, supposing we get back to your

story. Why was Bud Lton killed and by

whom?

>> I'm sorry. I don't know.

>> Maybe I can supply the answer to both

those questions. This partnership.

>> What do you mean?

>> People don't go around giving ranches

away.

>> Of course, you're right, Sheriff. This

man and his friends are imposters.

They're trying to rob Sam Lton's

children.

>> I told you the truth, and you can verify

it by getting in touch with the

authorities in Denton.

>> Well, I'll have to lock you three up

until I've had time to investigate your

story.

I'm

>> afraid you can't do that, Sheriff.

[music]

I'll relieve you of that, too.

Heat.

[music]

[music]

Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Come on, boys. Spread out.

[music]

Some of [music] you get behind the bar.

>> [music]

>> Where's California, [music]

[music]

California?

Look at his head. Come on. Get him up

again.

There we are.

All right, Sheriff. I got to get this

man to a doctor's head's badly cut.

>> We'll take care of him.

>> Get to your horses. [music]

[music]

>> Take it easy, California.

>> Let us take care of him, sheriff. It'll

save you the expense of a trial.

>> Yeah, we know how to handle these ombres

that try to rob Sam Lton's children.

Never mind. The law will take care of

them. Get on your horse, Cassie.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> coffee and donuts. Donuts and coffee.

Dog go. For two pins, I WOULDN'T EAT

THEM. Can't we have a little meat ONCE

IN A WHILE?

Are we going to get out of this place?

>> Your guess is as good as mine.

You would insist on coming along. Lift

for me to have been at the bar 20

instead of in here. Guests of honor at a

necktie party.

>> We've always stuck together.

>> Sure.

>> Well, it's hang together.

>> Much a pleasant thought.

>> Did I say hang?

Oh, hello Clam. How are the wolves down

at the saloon doing?

>> Howling plenty. Rip and the boys have

got them worked up to the point where

they're yelling for ropes. The M3 is as

good as stretched.

>> Yes. Well, we'll use the temper of the

town's people as an excuse, but we're

going to handle this a little bit

differently.

Mr. Cassidy. Mr. Cassidy.

Mr. Cassidy.

>> Hello there.

>> Hello, Mr. Cassidy. I wish there was

something I could do to help you.

>> Well, that's very thoughtful, but you

just sit tight and don't worry too much

about it.

>> Sure. You just take it. Don't worry

about it. Why? I can feel the noose

around my neck already.

>> Get out of here. Sit down. Take your

boot off.

My donuts. Come on. Hurry up.

>> Well, we had our dance anyway.

>> Yes, we did.

>> You'll be doing his next dance at the

end of a rope.

>> Yeah, never mind that. Come on

>> now. Look at that. Them socks was

guaranteed forever.

>> Forever.

>> Miss Lton, don't let anyone threaten or

bully you into selling the ranch. If the

going gets too tough, this partnership

agreement will block them.

>> Judge Stevens will tell you how to use

it. After it served its purpose, you can

destroy it.

Jas,

come on. You mean you to let us out?

>> Yes. And hurry up. That mob's level will

be here any minute. You can make it out

the side door. Your horses at the end of

the alley. You're a white man, Sheriff.

>> Well, I don't want the death of three

and men on my conscience.

Yours.

>> Hurry up, boys. We haven't a minute to

lose.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Don't open that door.

I think it'd be safer if the sheriff

went with us.

>> No, I can't.

>> Take a look out there, California.

There's a couple of fellers out there.

A left-handed gunslinger.

>> Sure. Nice little death trap he had set

for us.

>> You mean them homies out there waiting

to plug us?

>> That's right. And our friend here to

hand in the report that we were killed

while trying to escape.

>> Let's get them bushwagons. Wait a

minute. That won't be necessary.

He's going to save us the trouble.

You're going to invite him in here.

>> I can't. He'll start shooting the minute

I open that door.

>> That's too bad because I'm going to

start shooting if you don't open it up.

[music]

>> Don't shoot, boys.

>> What happened, Sheriff? What'd you

learn? Nothing. Come on in.

>> Come right in, boys and join our happy

little family. Get their guns. [music]

Why won't you go to that front window

and keep your eye peeled? Get down

there.

Hold it.

Who hired you two to do that shooting

down at Denton?

>> What are you talking about? We've never

been in Denton. No.

Puppy. [music]

>> Yeah,

>> that fake brother just rode in. [music]

>> Keep him covered, Jimmy.

>> He's heading for Foster's office.

[music]

>> Sure. How did he get his orders?

>> You mean the banker's mixed up in there?

>> Dy's neck. That syndicate is just a

blind. Foster's the head man behind the

whole setup.

>> Lock them up. I'll be back in a minute.

>> Get in there.

Don't forget

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> All right, son.

Come on. You're taking a walk.

So, something must have gone wrong over

at the jail. We'd have heard fireworks

before. Huh? What do we do if a sheriff

has slipped up?

>> Well, I provided a nice little scapegoat

for just such an occasion.

>> What do you mean?

>> Hit Moyer.

>> Well, that's [music] your name. So far,

Moyer is the only one they could connect

with this fake air business. [music] If

he should be found dead with a revolver

in his hand, the supposed suicide

[music] will be self-explanatory. And

that puts us in the clear.

You dirty double crossers trying to put

all the blame on me. I'm ready to talk

now and talk plenty.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Cassidy escaped from the jail. He shot

down Bud Lock. Tried to kill Ripin

myself.

>> Where is he now?

>> He's in my private office.

>> Let's go in and get him.

[music]

Come out, Cassidy. Wait

a minute. [clears throat]

Patty, no matter who smoke you are,

[music]

Moyer.

Moyer, can you talk now? [music]

coming out.

>> I'm getting out there. I'll go too.

Lock the door.

>> [music]

>> off now.

Yeah,

>> I think I can now.

>> Yeah, I can.

>> Wait a minute, boys. [music]

>> Looks like you got him. Boys,

>> hold your fire. I'm coming out.

Take it easy. Open that door.

>> Go ahead and talk, Moya.

>> I'm not Bud Lton.

My name's Kit Moyer.

They had the real Budlton kill

and got me to pose as the heir

so they could grab the diamond hitch for

themselves.

Who had Bud killed?

>> Mark Foster.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat.

Heat. [music]

>> He don't mean

Well, Faith, it looks like you got

enough men to run your ranch now. And

with Jimmy's Foreman, everything should

run smoothly.

>> Mr. Cassidy, without your help, I don't

know what I would have done.

>> We're glad we could help. Well, we

better be getting along now. We got a

lot of work to do at the bar 20.

>> I hope you'll be coming back this way

sometime.

>> You can count on it. California and I

going to check on your foreman. Goodbye,

Jimmy.

>> Bye, Hoppy. Bye, California.

>> [music]

[music]

>> puppy.

>> What's the matter? You didn't walk out

on the lady, did you?

>> She had enough help. I figured I was

needed at the bar 20.
