LIKE THE ONE IN THE SONG?

WELL, HE HASN'’T GOT LITTLE PIG EYES OR A LONG ROMAN NOSE,

BUT HE'’S GONNA BE JUST AS HARD TO HANDLE.

WELL, ARE YOU SURE HE'’LL COME?

THIS IS THE ONLY WATER HOLE AROUND HERE.

SOONER OR LATER, THE HORSES WILL HAVE TO COME IN.

NOW COME ON, LET'’S BRUSH THIS THING IN.

IF YOU AIN'’T CAREFUL, YOU'’RE GONNA BREAK YOUR BACK,

WORKIN'’ IT THAT A-WAY.

[WHISTLES]

THEY'’RE OVER THE HILL AND HEADIN'’ THIS WAY.

HANK, KILL THE SCENT ON THE POSTS.

BUD, GET SOME BRUSH AND COVER UP THESE TRACKS.

HEY, HOW DO YOU KILL THE SCENT ON A POST?

USE PERFUME?

RUB IT WITH A HORSE BLANKET, YOU JUGHEAD.

LET'’S GET UNDERCOVER.

NOT YET HE HASN'’T.

BUD, STAY HERE AND TAKE CARE OF THESE HORSES.

WE'’RE GOING AFTER THAT ROAN.

WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE GOOD ONES ALWAYS GET AWAY.

IT'’S MY FAULT, GENE. I'’M SORRY.

THERE'’S NOTHING TO BE SORRY ABOUT, JOE.

HEY, THERE'’S YOUR HORSE DOWN THERE BEHIND THAT CLUMP OF TREES.

HERE WE GO, FELLAS. WE'’LL SPOOK HIM OUT.

[WHISTLING]

[NEIGHING]

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

ATTABOY, BUD...

TAKE IT EASY THERE, BUD...

[TALKING AT ONCE]

SOMEHOW I DON'’T THINK THAT HORSE IS VERY HAPPY.

WATCH HIS HOOVES THERE. WATCH HIM NOW...

Woman: HELLO, GENE!

GENE! HIYA!

[HORSE NEIGHS]

CONNIE.

HELLO, GENE.

HAS DAD COME HOME YET?

NO, BUT I EXPECT HIM ALONG ANYTIME NOW.

SAY, YOU AND SWEETHEART MAKE A PRETTY PAIR.

SWEETHEART'’S THE FINEST GIRL IN THE WORLD.

SHE SURE IS.

[HORSES GALLOPING]

HELLO, DAD!

HEY! THE MAIL, FELLAS!

HANK, TAKE SWEETHEART FOR ME, WILL YOU?

BUT I'’M EXPECTIN' A LETTER!

OH, GEE.

WHOA.

HERE YOU ARE, BOYS.

HEY! HEY!

HELLO, DAD.

HELLO, SON. GIVE ME A HAND.

SAY, DAD, GENE AND I--

[NEIGHS]

WELL, SO YOU GOT THE ROAN, EH?

ISN'’T HE SWELL, DAD?

SURE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF HORSE.

WE BROUGHT HIM IN WITH THE HERD.

NOT A BAD-LOOKING BUNCH.

CAN I HAVE HIM, DAD?

HA HA!

CAN I HAVE HIM FOR MY OWN?

WELL, I DON'’T KNOW.

RECKON YOU CAN BREAK HIM GENTLE, GENE?

WHY NOT?

OH, NOTHING DOING.

I WANT TO BREAK HIM MYSELF.

LISTEN, SON, YOU'’RE TAKING IN TOO MUCH TERRITORY.

LOOK, DAD, I COULD RIDE BEFORE I COULD WALK,

AND BESIDES, YOU HAVEN'’T GOT A HORSE HERE

I CAN'’T STAY WITH.

I GOTTA GROW UP SOMETIME, DAD.

I KNOW, BUT THAT HORSE IS SOMETHING

YOU JUST CAN'’T FOOL AROUND WITH.

WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE, DAD,

YOU'’D TAMED HALF THE OUTLAWS IN TEXAS.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

OH, I DID, DID I?

OK, SON.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. HE'’S YOURS.

BUT LISTEN, I DON'’T WANT YOU

TAKING ANY FOOL CHANCES WITH HIM.

OH, I WON'’T, DAD, HONEST.

THANKS A MILLION!

♪ OH, THAT STRAWBERRY ROAN ♪

♪ OH, THAT STRAWBERRY ROAN ♪

♪ THAT SUNFISHIN'’ CRITTER'S WORTH LEAVING ALONE... ♪

DO YOU THINK IT'’LL BE ALL RIGHT?

SURE.

BY MORNING, THAT ROAN WILL HAVE WORN HIMSELF OUT.

[NEIGHS]

GO AWAY.

DON'’T YOU KNOW A LADY WHEN YOU SEE ONE?

SURE YOU DON'’T WANT ME

TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF THAT ROAN FOR YOU?

NO, YOU DO YOUR RIDING UP ON THE FENCE.

I WON'’T HAVE ANY TROUBLE.

LISTEN, SON, IF HE STARTS RUNNING THE RAIL,

EMPTY THAT SADDLE LIKE IT WAS HOT.

YEAH, NO GLORY RIDIN'’. IT'’S BETTER TO PULL LEATHER

THAN MEET YOUR SHADOW ON THE GROUND.

YOU WANT TO COME ALONG AND HOLD MY HAND?

YOU'’D THINK I'’VE NEVER BEEN IN THE SADDLE BEFORE.

GOOD LUCK.

HEY! GET HIM, BOY!

CORNER HIM!

CORNER HIM! CORNER HIM!

A BIGGER LOOP.

GET HIM BACK IN THAT CORNER SO HE CAN'’T GET OUT.

[NEIGHS]

DON'’T LET HIM GET BEHIND YOU.

EASY, BOY. WHOA! WHOA!

STEADY, BOY, STEADY.

NICE GOING, JOE!

COULDN'’T HAVE DONE IT BETTER MYSELF.

GOOD BOY, JOE, GOOD BOY.

HAVE YOU GOT THE BLINDERS?

YEAH, I GOT THEM.

HELP HIM UP. THAT'’S IT.

YOU'’RE DOING IT.

WHOA. NOW COME ON.

STEADY, STEADY. EASY, BOY.

EASY NOW.

TAKE IT EASY, JOE.

EASY, EASY. STEADY NOW.

STEADY. STEADY NOW.

STEADY, STEADY. STEADY NOW.

STEADY. STEADY NOW. STEADY.

SAY, IF YOU'’RE GONNA BE A CHAMPION COW HORSE,

YOU GOTTA START SOMETIME.

ISN'’T THAT RIGHT, CHAMP?

SAY, CHAMP. THAT'’S A GOOD NAME FOR HIM.

WHOA.

YEAH, HE'’S A CHAMPION COW HORSE.

I'’M A CHAMPION RIDER.

WE'’LL MAKE A GOOD TEAM.

STEADY, BOY.

LET ME GET THE BLINDERS ON HIM.

WHAT ARE THEY PUTTIN'’ BLINDERS

ON THAT NAG FOR?

THAT'’S SO HE WON'’T SEE YOU

AND LAUGH HIMSELF TO DEATH.

HA HA HA!

Joe: STEADY, STEADY NOW. STEADY, BOY.

WHOA! WHOA, NOW COME ON. STEADY.

STEADY NOW. STEADY, BOY.

STEADY NOW. WHOA, NOW STEADY.

STEADY, BOY.

NOW EVERYTHING'’S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

NOW STEADY, BOY. STEADY.

EASY, BOY. STEADY NOW.

STEADY NOW. WHOA.

[NEIGHS]

OK, TURN HIM LOOSE!

[NEIGHS]

THAT'’S MY SON, THAT'’S MY SON.

I TOLD YOU HE WAS GOOD.

BE CAREFUL, JOE, BE CAREFUL!

STAY WITH HIM, JOE.

STICK WITH HIM, BOY. MAKE HIM HAVE IT.

DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT MY RIDIN'’ COUSIN?

OH, SAVE IT.

RIDE HIM, JOE. RIDE HIM, JOE.

PUT THE STEEL TO HIM, JOE.

SET IN THE MIDDLE.

JOE! LOOK OUT!

[NEIGHS] AAH!

Connie: JOE!

[SHOUTING]

LET'’S GET HIM UP TO THE HOUSE.

CARRY HIM STRAIGHT.

CALL THE DOCTOR, CHUCK.

HOW IS HE, CONNIE?

HIS SPINE'’S INJURED.

HE CAN'’T MOVE HIS LEGS.

DAD'’S TAKING IT PRETTY HARD.

YEAH.

HE THINKS THE SUN RISES AND SETS IN THAT BOY.

[DOOR OPENS]

I'’VE GIVEN HIM A SEDATIVE.

HE'’LL PROBABLY SLEEP UNTIL MORNING.

LOOK, DOC, HE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN, WON'’T HE?

WELL, IT'’S A LITTLE EARLY

TO SAY ANYTHING DEFINITE, YET,

BUT THERE'’S ALWAYS A CHANCE, ESPECIALLY WITH JOE.

THE BOY'’S GOT A FINE CONSTITUTION.

WELL, I BETTER GET ALONG.

TELL YOUR FATHER I'’LL BE HERE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

YES, I WILL, DOCTOR.

HE'’LL BE ALL RIGHT, DAD.

IT'’S JUST LIKE THE TIME HE FELL OFF HIS PONY.

WHEN I PICKED HIM UP, HE DIDN'’T CRY THEN.

BUT THAT PONY WASN'’T A KILLER.

HE DIDN'’T TRY TO STOMP HIM TO DEATH.

WALT, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

THERE'’S ONLY ONE WAY TO HANDLE A KILLER.

DAD, YOU CAN'’T. THAT'’S JOE'S HORSE.

HEY! COME ON, GET OUTTA HERE!

IF YOU KNEW WHAT'’S GOOD FOR YOU, YOU'’D GET OUTTA HERE.

[NEIGHS]

HYAH! HYAH!

GET OUT OF HERE! COME ON!

GET GOING!

HYAH! GET GOING!

HYAH! GET OUTTA HERE!

DAD, WAIT!

GET OUT OF THE WAY, AUTRY.

COME ON! HYAH! GET OUTTA HERE!

DAD, DON'’T!

DAD! DAD, DON'’T!

YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS, CONNIE.

[GUNSHOT] WALT!

I'’LL SETTLE WITH YOU LATER, AUTRY.

ANDY, GET DOWN. I WANT THAT HORSE.

[NEIGHS]

COME ON, BOYS. WE'’RE GOING AFTER THAT ROAN.

GO AFTER HIM, GENE. DON'’T LET HIM DO ANYTHING HE'’LL BE SORRY FOR.

[NEIGHS]

Gene: WALT, DON'’T SHOOT!

[NEIGHS]

WELL, I GUESS THAT DOES IT.

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'’RE GOING?

DOWN THERE TO MAKE SURE HE'’S DEAD.

[GROANING]

HELLO, BOY.

HELLO, BOY.

THERE.

WHOA, BOY.

[WHIMPERS]

WHOA, BOY.

THAT'’S ALL RIGHT, CHAMP.

I'’M JUST TRYING TO SEE HOW BAD YOU'’RE HURT.

THAT'’S A GOOD BOY.

YEAH.

LET'’S SEE YOUR LEG.

SKINNED UP PRETTY BAD, BUT I DON'’T THINK IT'S BROKEN.

WE CAN'’T LET THE BUZZARDS GET YOU, BOY.

[WHINNIES]

EASY, BOY.

LITTLE COOL WATER WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

WE'’LL HAVE YOU FIXED UP IN NO TIME.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

MAY I SPEAK TO YOU A MOMENT, GENE?

WHY, SURE, CONNIE. SOMETHING WRONG?

WHY, YES.

IT'’S JOE. I'M-- I'’M WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

HE WON'’T EAT, HE CAN'’T SLEEP.

HE JUST DOESN'’T TAKE AN INTEREST IN ANYTHING.

WHAT DOES THE DOCTOR SAY ABOUT HIM?

HE SAYS THAT HIS NERVES HAVE BEEN SHOCKED,

THAT HE'’LL NEVER GET WELL

UNLESS HE CAN MAKE AN EFFORT OF HIS OWN.

COULDN'’T YOU TALK TO HIM FOR ME, GENE?

HE WON'’T LISTEN TO ME OR TO DAD,

AND DAD'’S SIMPLY GOING WILD.

WHY, SURE, CONNIE.

I'’LL COME OVER AND HAVE A TALK WITH HIM SOON AS I FINISH THIS.

THANKS, GENE. THANKS A LOT.

HIYA, JOE.

HELLO, GENE.

SAY, YOU SURE PUT ME IN A SPOT.

I DID?

YEAH, WE'’RE SHORT-HANDED.

THERE'’S NOT ENOUGH MEN AROUND HERE

TO ROUND UP A FLOCK OF CHICKENS.

YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

I'’M NEVER GONNA GET OUT OF HERE.

THAT'’S NOT WHAT THE DOC SAYS.

YOU'’RE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY, GENE.

I KNOW WHAT'’S THE MATTER WITH ME.

YOU KNOW, JOE, I HAD A HORSE ONCE

THAT PILED INTO A FENCE.

HE HEALED ALL RIGHT, BUT HE NEVER WAS ANY USE TO ANYBODY.

THE BOYS SAID IT BROKE HIS SPIRIT,

I MIGHT AS WELL SHOOT HIM.

WHY DIDN'’T YOU?

WHY, THAT WOULD'’VE BEEN A WASTE.

I KNEW HE HAD GOOD STUFF IN HIM.

I THOUGHT HE JUST GOT SCARED AND QUIT.

I'’D SEEN HORSES BUSTED UP 10 TIMES WORSE

AND STILL COME OUT OF IT.

ALL HE NEEDED WAS A LITTLE TIME AND PATIENCE

TO GIVE HIM CONFIDENCE.

YOU KNOW, HE TURNED OUT

TO BE THE BEST COW PONY I EVER HAD.

WELL, GOTTA GO TO WORK.

YOU KNOW, JOE,

I WAS JUST THINKING--

HORSES ARE A LOT LIKE PEOPLE.

BE SEEIN'’ YA.

HELLO, CHAMP.

[NEIGHS]

LOOK, YOU KNOW ME.

AFTER ALL THE TRIPS I'’VE MADE OUT HERE TO PATCH YOU UP,

I THINK YOU'’RE VERY UNGRATEFUL.

NOW THAT'’S MORE LIKE IT.

LET'’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT LEG OF YOURS

AND SEE HOW IT'’S GETTING ALONG.

LOOKS OK, FELLA.

PRETTY SOON, YOU'’LL BE GOOD AS NEW.

SAY, AIN'’T THIS NEAR THE PLACE

WHERE THAT ROAN WENT OVER?

YEAH.

LET'’S TAKE A LOOK, HUH?

WHAT'’S THE USE? HE'’S BUZZARD BAIT NOW.

QUIET, CHAMP. DON'’T ANSWER.

COME ON, WE'’LL MISS GRUB.

THAT'’S A GOOD BOY.

THERE YOU ARE, JOE.

WELL, WHAT'’S ALL THIS?

THERE'’S NOTHING LIKE A RAWHIDE BED

TO MAKE A MAN COMFORTABLE.

GENE MADE IT HIMSELF, DAD.

I HAD ONE JUST LIKE IT

THE TIME I WAS LAID UP WITH A BUSTED LEG.

MAYBE YOU CAN SLEEP NOW, JOE.

WHY, SURE HE CAN SLEEP.

ALL HE HAS TO DO IS BEGIN COUNTING THE STARS

WHEN THEY COME OUT.

FIRST THING YOU KNOW,

HE'’LL HAVE DREAM DUST IN HIS EYES.

I'’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME,

BUT THERE'’S A FELLA THERE

JUST ITCHIN'’ TO THROW LEAD IN YOUR DIRECTION.

THAT'’S WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE YOURSELF SCARCE AROUND HERE.

ALL RIGHT, BOY. YOU'’RE ON YOUR OWN.

[NEIGHS]

COME ON, GET OUTTA HERE.

HEAD FOR TEXAS!

[NEIGHS]

HI, JOE. HOW YOU FEEL?

ALL RIGHT, I GUESS.

SAY, UH, DID YOU EVER HEAR MY IMITATION

OF THAT AIRPLANE THAT I DO

THAT GOES AROUND UP IN THE AIR

AND TURNS 8 TO 10 FLIPS,

GETS CAUGHT, COMES BACK DOWN,

AND KIND OF FLATTENS OUT THERE?

NO.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR IT?

NO, THANKS.

ALL RIGHT, I WILL.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

[IMITATING AIRPLANE]

HA! YOU DIDN'’T LIKE THAT.

WELL, DID, UH, DID YOU EVER HEAR MY IMITATION

OF THOSE 3 DOGS AND THE HOG

THAT ALL--ALL THIS BARKING AND HOWLING STUFF GOING ON?

THE OLD MAN'’S HOLLERING AT THE DOGS,

THE DOG'’S BARKING AT THE HOG,

AND THE HOG'’S SQUEALIN' ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL, I'’LL DO THAT ONE FOR YOU. MAYBE YOU'’LL LIKE THAT ONE.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

[WHISTLES] GO GET '’EM OUT OF THAT THICKET PATCH.

[BARKING, WHISTLING, SNORTING]

HA HA! THAT'’S A DOG THAT I DIDN'’T KNOW WAS COMING IN THERE.

[BARKING, WHISTLING, SNORTING]

OH, THERE HE IS AGAIN! HA HA HA!

OH, WELL,

I GOT ONE MORE HERE I'’D LIKE TO DO FOR YOU.

IT'’S AN IMITATION OF A--

OF ONE OF THEM OUTBOARD MOTOR BOATS.

YOU KNOW THE ONE YOU SAW DOWNTOWN

THE OTHER DAY, A LITTLE PUTT-PUTT?

WELL, I LEARNED HOW TO DO IT, SEE?

YOU WRAP THE STRING AROUND THE CRANK ON IT,

JERK ON IT A COUPLE OF TIMES,

FINALLY GET IT STARTED,

THEN THAT'’S ALL THAT HAPPENS.

WATCH THIS.

[IMITATING MOTOR BOAT]

WELL, I GUESS I BETTER GET BACK TO MY COOKING.

HI, JOE!

HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU AND THAT COT GETTING ALONG?

ALL RIGHT.

THEY'’RE GOOD AND SPRINGY.

PLENTY OF GIVE WITHOUT CAVING IN THE MIDDLE.

OF COURSE, IF YOU DON'’T LIKE IT I CAN--

OH, WELL, IT'’S ALL RIGHT.

IT WAS NICE OF YOU TO MAKE IT FOR ME.

I--I SLEPT PRETTY GOOD LAST NIGHT.

NOW YOU'’RE TALKING.

YOU KNOW, GENE,

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THE STRAWBERRY ROAN.

THE STRAWBERRY ROAN?

YEAH. WE WERE GOING ACROSS THE PLAINS LIKE THE WIND.

I WAS RIDING AS GOOD AS I EVER DID.

I WASN'’T CRIPPLED ANYMORE.

WHEN I WOKE UP,

I WANTED THAT TO BE TRUE MORE THAN ANYTHING.

MAYBE IT WILLCOME TRUE.

IT'’S NO USE WISHING IT.

IT WAS JUST A DREAM.

IT'’S THE ONLY WAY I'’LL EVER RIDE

OR SEE THAT ROAN AGAIN-- IN A DREAM.

[NEIGHS]

IT'’S CHAMP!

IT'’S MY HORSE!

JOE, WHAT IS IT?

IT'’S CHAMP. THE FALL DIDN'’T KILL HIM.

HIYA, CHAMP, OLD BOY.

GENE, DAD MUSTN'’T SEE HIM.

COME ON, CHAMP. GET GOING.

GET OUTTA HERE. GET OUTTA HERE, CHAMP.

GET GOING.

[WHINNIES]

GET GOING.

IT'’S THE STRAWBERRY ROAN.

LET'’S GO.

GENE, LOOK OUT! IT'’S DAD.

HE MISSED HIM!

[NEIGHS]

WELL, OF ALL THE--

AND GENE SAID HE WAS GONNA MAKE SURE

THE ROAN WAS DEAD.

NOW YOU STAY IN THERE

UNTIL I DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH YOU.

[NEIGHS]

SWEETHEART.

SWEETHEART, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, HUH?

OH...SO IT'’S LIKE THAT.

LOOK, CHAMP, GET OUT OF HERE.

I'’VE GOT TO TAKE THE LADY HOME.

BESIDES, IT'’LL SAVE ME FROM WALKING BACK.

COME ON, CHAMP. GET OUT OF HERE.

THIS IS NO TIME FOR ROMANCIN'’.

LET'’S GO, SWEETHEART.

[NEIGHS]

[PLAYING SLOW MELODY]

SWEETHEART, YOU NAUGHTY GIRL.

SAY, GENE, IS CHAMP ALL RIGHT?

SURE, HE'’S FINE.

I'’VE GOT HIM HID OUT.

YOU'’D BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON THIS YOUNG LADY.

I CAUGHT HER TRYING TO ELOPE

WITH A GOOD-LOOKING STRAWBERRY ROAN.

WHY, SWEETHEART, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.

NOT THAT I BLAME YOU,

IF HE'’S REALLY GOOD-LOOKING.

[DOOR CLOSES]

WHAT'’D YOU DO WITH THE ROAN?

NOW LISTEN, WALT,

YOU DON'’T WANT TO KILL CHAMP.

HE'’S A GOOD HORSE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE'’S A GOOD HORSE?

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BOY.

BUT, DAD, HE DIDN'’T MEAN TO HURT ME.

YOU CAN'’T BLAME CHAMP FOR WHAT HE DID, DAD.

YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS, THE BOTH OF YOU.

I'’M ASKING YOU WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE ROAN.

I'’LL TELL YOU, WALT, AFTER YOU'’VE COOLED OFF.

I'’M STILL GIVING ORDERS AROUND HERE.

GET THAT ROAN AND BRING HIM IN, YOU HEAR ME?

I HEAR YOU.

LISTEN, AUTRY,

I'’VE TAKEN ALL OF THIS I'’M GONNA STAND.

EITHER YOU DO AS I SAY

OR YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BEDROLL AND GET OUT!

ALL RIGHT.

BYE, CONNIE.

SO LONG, JOE.

BE SEEIN'’ YA.

JUST A MINUTE, AUTRY.

HANK, HOOK UP THE BUCKBOARD

AND TAKE ME INTO TOWN, WILL YOU?

BE WITH YOU SOON AS I GET MY BEDROLL.

YOU TAKE THAT HORSE OFF MY RANGE,

AND I'’LL HAVE THE LAW ON YOU FOR RUSTLING.

DAD, YOU CAN'’T DO THAT!

DAD, YOU DIDN'’T MEAN THAT.

YOU COULDN'’T.

WHY COULDN'’T I?

THE ROAN BELONGS TO ME AND ANYBODY THAT TAKES HIM

IS JUST PLAIN STEALING.

BUT GENE HASN'’T A HORSE OF HIS OWN, DAD.

WHY DON'’T YOU GIVE HIM CHAMP?

YOU OWE HIM THAT MUCH.

I OWE HIM!

DON'’T MAKE ME LAUGH.

WHY, WHEN THAT PIG-HEADED COWPOKE FIRST CAME HERE,

ALL HE HAD WAS A BROKEN-DOWN SADDLE.

I MADE HIM FOREMAN, AND WHAT THANKS DO I GET?

HE WALKS OUT ON ME.

WALKS OUT ON YOU!

NO MAN WOULD'’VE STAYED AFTER WHAT YOU SAID TO HIM

AND YOU KNOW IT.

GENE, DON'’T BE STUBBORN, PLEASE.

WHAT'’S THE USE OF RUNNING INTO TROUBLE,

WHEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE UP A HORSE?

IT ISN'’T JUST GIVING HIM UP, CONNIE.

YOUR FATHER'’S DEAD SET ON KILLING CHAMP.

THAT ROAN'’S THE ONE CHANCE JOE HAS

OF EVER GETTING ON HIS FEET AGAIN.

BUT I DON'’T SEE WHY.

THE KID DREAMED HE WAS RIDING THE HORSE.

I WANT TO SEE IF I CAN'’T MAKE THAT DREAM COME TRUE.

I UNDERSTAND, GENE.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO HOOK UP THE BUCKBOARD.

WELL, MISS CONNIE SAID

YOU WAS TO TAKE SWEETHEART.

OH, I CAN'’T DO THAT.

Connie: YES, YOU CAN.

GOSH, I CAN'’T TAKE YOUR HORSE, CONNIE.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE HER, GENE.

GOSH.

WELL, THANKS A LOT.

I'’LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

I KNOW YOU WILL.

BYE.

WHY ARE YOU SO ALL-FIRED ANXIOUS TO GET THAT LETTER OFF?

I'’M ORDERING ME A NEW MAIL-ORDER SHIRT.

I SAW ME A COAT ONCE I SURE WANTED,

BUT THEY WOULDN'’T LET ME HAVE THE GAL WHO WAS WEARIN'’ IT.

[ALL LAUGHING]

WHAT'’S SO INTERESTIN'?

LOOKS LIKE THE SHERIFF'’S BEEN MAKING HIMSELF BUSY.

I NEVER THOUGHT THE OLD MAN WOULD GO THAT FAR.

AIN'’T NOTHIN' WORSE THAN FRIENDSHIP GONE SOUR.

THIS AIN'’T GONNA HELP GENE NONE.

YEAH. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO COULD USE $100.

I WONDER IF HE THINKS

MAYBE HE DON'’T WANT GENE TO COME BACK.

MAYBE HE LIKES BEIN'’ FOREMAN.

OH, HE AIN'’T THAT KIND OF A HEEL.

OH, AIN'’T HE?

[SONG ENDS]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

REACH.

THAT WOULDN'’T BE HEALTHY, MR. AUTRY.

YOU FELLAS ARE NOT VERY SOCIABLE,

PULLING DOWN ON A GUEST.

COME ON. QUIT YOUR STALLING.

WELL, I GUESS THERE'’S NO USE TO TRY TO BUCK BOTH OF YOU.

YOU'’RE REALLY COMING ALONG. LET'’S TRY IT AGAIN.

YES, SIR.

THAT'’S THE IDEA.

REMEMBER, JOE'’S GONNA HAVE TO DEPEND ON YOU.

YOU CAN'’T DEPEND ON HIM.

LET'’S GO AND SEE SWEETHEART.

[NEIGHING]

YOU KNOW, YOU'’RE GONNA BE A PROUD FATHER ONE OF THESE DAYS.

PROUD OF IT, HUH?

LIFT '’EM AND HOLD 'EM THAT WAY.

WHAT'’S THE MATTER? SURPRISED TO SEE ME?

I SURE AM.

YOU'’RE A HARD MAN TO CATCH UP WITH.

YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'’T EXPECT YOU TO BE THIS CARELESS.

ALL RIGHT. GET ON YOUR HORSE.

WE'’VE GOT PLACES TO GO.

LOOKS LIKE FRIENDSHIP COMES PRETTY CHEAP THESE DAYS.

MAYBE. GET MOVING.

WHAT ABOUT SWEETHEART?

I'’LL TAKE CARE OF HER. GET MOVING.

HOLD ON.

WHAT'’S THIS ALL ABOUT?

YOU'’LL FIND OUT. GET DOWN.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT NOW?

YOU MIGHT TRY LOOKING BEHIND YOU.

CONNIE!

GENE, I JUST HAD TO SEE YOU.

WHY, YOU OL'’ POLECAT.

I OUGHT TO BEAT YOUR EARS DOWN.

THIS'’LL TEACH YOU TO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED

IN CASE SOMEBODY GETS A HANKERING FOR THAT REWARD.

WELL, YOU TWO BETTER START AIRING YOUR LUNGS.

IT AIN'’T HEALTHY TO GRAZE AROUND HERE TOO LONG.

I'’VE, UH...

I BROUGHT YOU SOME SUPPLIES.

FINE. THANKS A LOT.

I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE IT.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

GOSH, IT WAS MIGHTY NICE OF YOU TO THINK OF IT.

YOU'’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I'’VE MISSED MY...

MY GUITAR.

YOU'’VE GOT TO COME BACK, GENE.

YOU'’VE JUST GOT TO.

BUT I CAN'’T NOW.

LOOK, DON'’T YOU REALIZE THE DANGER YOU'’RE IN?

EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'’RE STILL AROUND HERE.

PETE LUCAS AND JAKE HAVE BEEN TELLING EVERYBODY

YOU BROKE INTO THEIR CABIN.

FIRST THING YOU KNOW, YOU WILLBE AN OUTLAW.

ACCORDING TO THE SHERIFF, I'’M ONE ALREADY.

YOU CAN LAUGH IF YOU WANT TO,

BUT HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE I FEEL ABOUT IT?

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG AT THE RANCH.

JOE KEEPS BLAMING HIMSELF FOR WHAT'’S HAPPENED.

DAD'’S GOT SO NO ONE CAN EVEN SPEAK TO HIM ANYMORE.

HE NEEDS YOU, GENE.

WE ALL NEED YOU.

I'’M SORRY, CONNIE, BUT I'’VE TOO FAR

TO LET JOE DOWN NOW.

BREAKING CHAMP FOR HIM TO RIDE IS HIS ONE CHANCE.

SURE, I COULD STOP JUST TO MAKE THINGS EASIER AT THE RANCH,

BUT IF I DID, THERE'’D ALWAYS BE SOMETHING BETWEEN US.

IF STAYING A WAY A LITTLE LONGER WILL HELP JOE, IT'’S WORTH IT.

I SUPPOSE YOU'’RE RIGHT,

BUT PLEASE DON'’T STAY AWAY TOO LONG.

OH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU.

SWEETHEART'’S IN FOAL.

HOW'’S SHE DOING?

FINE, BUT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,

I'’LL TRY TO GET HER BACK TO THE RANCH.

BYE, AND DON'’T WORRY. YOU'’LL BE HEARING FROM ME.

THAT'’S A GOOD BOY.

NOW LET'’S SEE HOW WELL YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON.

WHOA. STAY HERE.

[SWEETHEART NEIGHS]

WITH A COLT COMING ON,

THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO GET SICK.

THERE YOU ARE, SWEETHEART.

YOU'’LL BE WARM IN NO TIME.

I'’VE GOT TO GO GET SOME MEDICINE FOR YOU.

THE FIRE'’LL KEEP THE WOLVES AWAY AND I'’LL BE BACK SOON AS I CAN.

[WHISTLING]

HEY, IF YOU AIN'’T CAREFUL,

YOU'’RE GONNA FREEZE YOURSELF TO DEATH.

AW, SHUCKS, THIS AIN'’T COLD.

WHY, UP IN MONTANA ONE TIME, WE WAS PUTTIN'’ UP A FENCE,

AND WE FOUND A WHOLE MESS OF STICKS JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH.

BUT WHEN IT THAWED, THEM STICKS TURNED OUT TO BE FROZEN RATTLESNAKES.

NO.

CRAWLED OFF WITH 2 MILES OF WIRE!

OHH!

[WHISTLING]

[RATTLING]

I WANT YOU TO SEE MY NEW CHICKS.

OH, MISS CONNIE! DO YOU KNOW--

OHH!

OOH!

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR PA IS, MISS CONNIE?

PETE LUCAS WANTS TO SEE HIM.

PETE LUCAS?

YES, MA'’AM. HE'S BROUGHT SOME STEERS YOUR PA WANTED.

DAD'’S OUT ON THE SOUTH RANGE.

TELL PETE TO TAKE THEM OUT TO THE CORRAL.

OK, MISS CONNIE.

HERE THEY ARE.

AREN'’T THEY THE MOST ADORABLE LITTLE THINGS YOU EVER SAW?

CONNIE, WHAT'’S THE MATTER?

GENE.

HELLO, CONNIE.

GENE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

SHH!

IT'’S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, JOE. HOW ARE YOU?

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

IS ANYTHING WRONG, GENE?

SWEETHEART'’S GOT A LITTLE FEVER.

I COME IN TO GET SOME MEDICINE FOR HER.

WHERE IS SHE?

UP IN THE HILLS NEAR PINNACLE ROCKS.

NOW DON'’T YOU WORRY. SHE'’LL BE ALL RIGHT.

HURRY AND GET WELL, FELLA.

I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

I GOT TO BE MOSEYING ALONG.

BYE.

BYE, GENE.

SO LONG, GENE.

[STEERS BELLOW]

TELL BAILEY I'’LL BE BY IN COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THE MONEY.

I'’LL TELL HIM.

LOOK! IT'’S THE STRAWBERRY ROAN!

THAT'’S HIM, ALL RIGHT. THAT'’S THE OUTLAW.

JAKE, GO GET BAILEY.

CONNIE, WAIT!

DOWN, CHAMP, DOWN.

DOWN.

NICE WORK, BOY.

WELL, WHERE'’S AUTRY?

HE GOT AWAY,

BUT I DOUBLED BACK AND PICKED UP HIS TRACKS.

WHERE IS HE POINTED FOR?

DO I GET THAT HUNDRED BUCKS?

YOU MEAN WE.

THAT'’S WHAT I SAID.

YOU'’LL GET IT, ALL RIGHT.

COME ON. I'’LL SHOW YOU.

WELL, IT HAD TO COME SOMETIME.

HE WENT IN, BUT HE DIDN'’T COME OUT.

HE'’S GOT TO COME OUT.

HE JUST CAN'’T VANISH INTO THIN AIR.

WE'’LL RIDE UPSTREAM AND SEE IF WE CAN PICK UP HIS TRAIL.

YOU BOYS, RIDE DOWNSTREAM.

GENE!

GENE?

CONNIE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

JAKE'’S GONE AFTER DAD AND THE BOYS.

YOU'’VE GOT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE, GENE,

BEFORE THEY FIND YOU.

I CAN'’T. SWEETHEART'’S FOALING.

SWEETHEART?

I'’LL TAKE CARE OF HER. YOU GO ON.

THIS IS MY JOB. YOU GET BACK TO THE RANCH.

I'’LL DO NO SUCH THING.

LOOK, YOU CAN'’T BE CORNERED HERE.

YOU WOULDN'’T HAVE A CHANCE.

LOOK, I'’VE GOT ENOUGH TROUBLE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT YOU.

I'’M STAYING.

BESIDES I LEFT JOE IN THE BUCKBOARD

DOWN AT THE FOOT OF THE TRAIL.

HE'’LL FIRE A SHOT IF HE SEES ANYONE COMING.

OH, THERE NOW, SWEETHEART. TAKE IT EASY.

EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

WELL, DON'’T JUST STAND THERE. MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL.

LOOK. GIVE ME THAT BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL OVER THERE.

WE NEED SOME WATER.

I THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHICH WAY HE WAS HEADED.

I COULD'’VE SWORN HE CAME THIS WAY.

I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD'’VE TURNED NORTH.

WELL, I GUESS NORTH IS AS GOOD AS ANYWHERE.

LET'’S GO NORTH.

SHE'’LL BE ALL RIGHT NOW.

ALL SHE NEEDS IS A LITTLE REST.

WELL, CHAMP, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A FATHER?

[NEIGHING TENDERLY]

THAT'’S THE CUTEST COLT I EVER SAW.

LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE CHAMP.

LITTLE COFFEE?

YEAH, I COULD USE SOME.

THANKS.

IF THE WOLVES TRY TO GET TO THE COLT,

USE THIS RIFLE.

I'’M GOING TO BE GONE FOR A COUPLE HOURS.

YOU'’RE NOT COMING BACK HERE!

YOU HAVE TO GET AWAY.

NOT YET. GOT ONE MORE THING TO DO.

BUT YOU'’VE DONE ALL YOU CAN, GENE.

WHAT'’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

DO YOU WANT TO GET YOURSELF CAUGHT?

GENE AUTRY, DON'’T YOU DARE COME BACK HERE!

HEY, THAT THING'’S LOADED.

PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, GENE!

I DON'’T WANT YOU TO COME BACK AGAIN.

WELL, OF ALL THE NO-GOOD STUBBORN MULES!

WHOA, THERE. HOLD EVERYTHING.

GOSH, GENE, I WAS SO BUSY WATCHING,

I DIDN'’T HEAR YOU COME UP.

HOW ARE YOU, KID?

OH, PRETTY GOOD.

[CHAMP NEIGHING]

CHAMP!

GOSH, LOOK AT HIM!

COME HERE, BOY.

COME ON.

WHERE'’S CONNIE?

I LEFT HER WITH SWEETHEART AND THE COLT.

A COLT?

THE VERY SPITTIN'’ IMAGE OF CHAMP.

I BROKE HIM TO THE SADDLE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU.

FOR ME?!

OH, BUT...

I CAN'’T RIDE HIM.

GENE, I CAN'’T.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'’LL HAVE TO.

HE'’LL STAY HERE TILL SOMEBODY RIDES HIM.

I CAN'’T RIDE.

I CAN'’T EVER RIDE AGAIN.

WELL, GUESS I BETTER BE GOING.

BYE, CHAMP.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM.

SO LONG, JOE.

GENE! COME BACK HERE, GENE!

GENE!

GENE!

GENE, DON'’T LEAVE ME!

GENE!

STEADY, CHAMP.

WHOA, BOY.

WHOA, BOY. STEADY, CHAMP.

WHOA, BOY.

WHOA, CHAMP.

I MADE IT, CHAMP.

OK, CHAMP, LET'’S GO.

THERE'’S AUTRY.

HE'’S TRYING TO GET AWAY.

HE WON'’T GET VERY FAR.

COME ON. LET'’S GO.

IT'’S DAD.

COME ON, CHAMP.

IF HE WANTS A RACE, WE'’LL GIVE IT TO HIM.

[GUNSHOT]

I DIDN'’T MEAN TO GET AUTRY.

HERE GOES THE ROAN.

MR. BAILEY! LOOK! GENE!

YOU FOOL, YOU SHOT JOE!

JOE?!

JOE!

JOE!

IS HE HURT BAD, GENE?

NOT YOUR FAULT IF HE ISN'’T.

I'’M SORRY, SON.

DAD, YOU'’RE A BAD SHOT.

I TRIED TO STOP YOU, BUT YOU WERE SO TRIGGER HAPPY

YOU HAD TO SHOOT SOMEBODY.

I SURE MADE A FINE FOOL OUT OF MYSELF.

COULD BE. LET'’S GET HIM IN THE BUCKBOARD.

WELL, THERE GOES OUR HUNDRED BUCKS.

[LAUGHTER]

YOU GOT HIM, GENE?

I GOT HIM.

GENE, I DON'’T SUPPOSE YOU'’D WANT TO COME BACK TO WORK

FOR A PIG-HEADED OLD FOOL LIKE ME,

BUT I--

AW, FORGET IT.

I NEVER STOPPED WORKING FOR YOU.

HA. LOOKS LIKE YOU JUST QUIT BEING FOREMAN.

IS THAT BAD?

WE'’LL TAKE IT EASY, KID, SO IT WON'’T JOLT YOU.

I'’LL BE ALL RIGHT, GENE.

[CHAMP NEIGHING]

Gene: CHAMP.

IT'’S ALL RIGHT, BOY.

WHY, JOE'’LL BE RIDING YOU AGAIN IN NO TIME.

NO, GENE, I WON'’T. YOU WILL.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

HE'’S YOUR HORSE.

I WANT TO TRAIN MY OWN HORSE.

WHEN CHAMP'’S COLT'S OLD ENOUGH,

I'’LL BE WELL ENOUGH TO BREAK HIM MYSELF.

COLT? WHAT COLT?

WHY, CHAMP AND SWEETHEART HAVE A COLT.

WELL, WHY DOESN'’T SOMEBODY TELL ME THESE THINGS?
