[ Yawning ] OKAY, FROG.

HE DIDN'T STOP FOR INSPECTION. I'LL TRY TO CATCH HIM ON THE GRADE.

[ Whistles, Shouts ]

HOLD IT, BELKNAP !

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP BACK THERE AT THE POST FOR INSPECTION.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, STOP AND LET YOU TURN THE CAR INSIDE OUT EVERY TIME ?

I GO BY HERE A DOZEN TIMES A WEEK.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU GO BY HERE A DOZEN TIMES A DAY.

YOU'RE STILL GONNA STOP FOR INSPECTION THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.

ALL RIGHT, AUTRY. I WAS JUST IN A HURRY...

TO GET OVER AND SEE SHELBY ABOUT MY CATTLE.

OKAY, GO AHEAD. AND REMEMBER, THE NEXT TIME YOU DON'T STOP, I'M GONNA RUN YOU IN.

[ Honking Horn ]

[ Snoring ]

[ Door Slams Shut ]

GUESS I WAS A LITTLE TIRED. YES, I GUESS YOU WERE, BROTHER.

LISTEN HERE, BROTHER, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU STAY UP TOO LATE AT NIGHTS, DO YOU GET SLEEPY ?

WHEN YOU READ TOO MUCH AT NIGHT, DO YOUR EYES GET TIRED ?

WHEN YOU WALK TOO FAR, DO YOUR FEET GET TIRED ? AHA !

WELL, THEN YOU LET ME BE THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE YOU, MY FRIEND,

BECAUSE I WALKED IN THIS ROOM JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU SELLIN' ?

NEPAW INDIAN REMEDY, MY FRIEND--

THE SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DISCOVERY OF THIS AGE.

A NEW STOMACH AND A HEAD OF HAIR IN EVERY BOTTLE.

THIS REMEDY, MY FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR, IS MADE FROM A FORMULA...

OF ROOTS, HERBS, BARKS AND BITTERS-- AN OLD SECRET INDIAN FORMULA.

I WANNA ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION.

DID YOU EVER SEE A SICK INDIAN ? NEVER IN YOUR LIFE.

FOR YEARS, NEIGHBOR, THE INDIANS HAVE BEEN LAUGHIN' UP THEIR BLANKETS--

AT LEAST UP THEIR SLEEVES-- AT THE DOCTORS.

HOW'S YOUR STOMACH ? WELL, MY STOMACH'S ALL RIGHT.

I CAN EAT ANYTHING. TRY THIS, FRIEND.

YOU TAKE TWO TABLESPOONS OF NEPAW INDIAN REMEDY,

APPLY IT TO YOUR HAIR MORNING AND NIGHT,

AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR LIKE MAGIC.

THANK YOU, MY FRIEND. DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE NEVER GONNA REGRET THAT PURCHASE ?

NO, SIR. TO YOUR DYING DAY,

YOU ARE GOING TO THANK ME FOR SELLING YOU THAT BOTTLE OF REMEDY.

AH ! YOU'RE NEXT, BROTHER. YOU BET I'M NEXT.

I'M NEXT TO YOU, ALL RIGHT.

YOU WAS THROUGH HERE A YEAR AGO, WASN'T YA ?

WELL, NOW, MAYBE I-- YEAH, COME TO THINK OF IT.

I THOUGHT SO. COME ON, YOUNG FELLA.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A TRIP TO THE CALABOOSE WITH ME. THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE.

THERE'S NO MISTAKE. YOU COME ALONG WITH ME.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'VE GOT A TRUCK OUTSIDE. NEVER MIND YOUR TRUCK.

WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU WON'T NEED A TRUCK FOR A WHILE. COME ON.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MISTER. I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR TRUCK. THANKS VERY MUCH.

COME ON. COME ALONG HERE. JUST A MINUTE, SHERIFF.

HEY, SHERIFF, WHAT DID HE DO ?

WHAT DID HE DO ? HE SOLD ME A BOTTLE OF THAT DANDRUFF CURE !

[ Yelling ]

HELLO, BELKNAP. WHEN ARE YOU MOVING IN THE REST OF YOUR HERD ?

WE'VE GOT TROUBLE ON OUR HANDS, SHELBY. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

SOME OF THE CATTLE ON MY RANCH ARE SHOWING INFECTION-- HOOF-AND-MOUTH.

YOU SURE ? I'M POSITIVE.

HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE STOCK IN THE PENS ?

THEY MUST BE INFECTED TOO IF THEY'RE PART OF THE SAME HERD.

IF AUTRY FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS, HE'LL QUARANTINE THE WHOLE DISTRICT.

LISTEN, SHELBY, WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING AND DO IT FAST.

I STAND TO LOSE PLENTY. I STAND TO LOSE EVERYTHING.

I'VE GOT SHIPPING CONTRACTS TO FILL.

SAY, THOSE CATTLE LOOKHEALTHY ENOUGH.

YOU THINK WE COULD GET BY SHIPPING THEM ?

WELL, THEY WON'T BREAK OUT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS.

BUT IF THAT INFECTION EVER HITS THE STOCKYARDS, IT'LL SPREAD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

BY THAT TIME, WE'LL HAVE OUR MONEY OUT OF THEM.

LET SOMEBODY ELSE WORRY ABOUT IT. HOW MANY HEAD ARE ALREADY SHOWING INFECTION ?

MMM, ABOUT 30 OR 40.

I'VE GOT 'EM PENNED UP OUT AT THE RANCH.

WE'LL MOVE THE BAD CASES OUT OF THERE TONIGHT...

AND GET RID OF THEM. WELL, HOW ARE WE GONNA GET 'EM BY AUTRY ?

THE RANCHERS ARE HAVING A SHINDIG TONIGHT.

EVERYBODY IN THE VALLEY WILL BE THERE,

INCLUDING AUTRY.

WHERE'D YOU GET THE BANDWAGON ?

OH, THE SHERIFF ARRESTED SOME FELLER,

AND I TOLD HIM I'D WATCH HIS TRUCK FOR HIM TILL HE COME BACK.

DID YOU INSPECT THE TRUCK ? OH, THERE AIN'T NO USE TO.

IT'S PROBABLY FULL OF NEPAW'S INDIAN REMEDY OR SOMETHIN'.

[ Trumpeting ] AAH !

GENE, LOOK ! [ Gasps ]

LOOK AT THAT !

[ Laughing ]

THAT LOOKS LIKE NEPAW HIMSELF.

HELLO, MARTHA. HELLO, GENE.

WE WERE JUST HOPIN' YOU'D COME. GENE WAS FIGURIN' ON ASKIN' YOU TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH HIM.

WELL, WHAT FROG MEANS IS,

IF YOU AND YOUR DAD WERE GOING TO THE DANCE, I THOUGHT MAYBE--

I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD ASK ME.

- COULD I SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE, GENE ? - SURE. COME ON INSIDE.

DO YOU WANNA SIT DOWN ? NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU MIND IF I DO ? NO.

SIT DOWN, JIM. WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND ?

WELL, UH--

YOU'VE DONE A LOT FOR ME, GENE, AND I, UH,

I HATE TO ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING MORE, BUT...

I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D ENDORSE THIS NOTE.

WHY, SURE. I'D BE GLAD TO.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE BANK. I COULD HELP YOU OUT.

I'M AFRAID NOT. THIS TIME, I GOTTA HAVE PLENTY.

ENOUGH TO COVER THE COST OF SHIPPING THE CATTLE.

WELL, SHIPPIN' YOUR OWN STOCK IS A PRETTY BIG GAMBLE, JIM. YES, I KNOW.

BUT IF I TURN MY CATTLE OVER TO A BROKER,

I WON'T GET ENOUGH OUT OF IT TO HOLD ONTO MY RANCH.

NOW, THIS IS MY ONE CHANCE TO PAY OFF ALL MY CREDITORS, INCLUDIN' YOU.

AH, STOP WORRYIN' ABOUT WHAT YOU OWE ME.

IT CERTAINLY WILL BE A RELIEF TO GET THE CATTLE OFF OUR HANDS.

WHAT DAY YOU FIGURE ON SHIPPIN' YOUR STOCK ?

DAY AFTER TOMORROW. [ Whistles ]

BOY, THIS PLACE IS GONNA BE BUSIER THAN A CAT IN A RAT TRAP AROUND HERE.

WHY, SHELBY'S GONNA SHIP ALL THE CATTLE FOR THE OTHER RANCHERS THAT DAY TOO.

YEP, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE PLENTY OF WORK ON YOUR HANDS, FROGGY.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF.

SEE YOU TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

HELLO, RUTHIE. YOU KNOW FROG MILLHOUSE ?

UH-UH. PLEASED TO MEET YA.

DON'T YOU YOUNG FOLKS WANNA DANCE ?

NO, SIR. AH, COME ON.

AND RIGHT AT THE HEAD OF LITTLE GULCH, I FOUND A DEAD CALF,

AND I THINK IT DIED OF HOOF-AND-MOUTH DISEASE.

I AIN'T SURE. WHOSE RANCH IS IT FROM ?

WELL, DIDN'T HAVE NO BRAND. I COULDN'T TELL.

WE'D BETTER GET OUT THERE AND TAKE A LOOK.

IT'S RIGHT DOWN THERE.

YOU WERE RIGHT, FROG. IT'S HOOF-AND-MOUTH.

COULDN'T HAVE BROKE OUT AT A WORSE TIME-- SHIPPIN' WEEK.

THIS THING'S LIABLE TO SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE.

FROG, RIDE OUT AND TELL THE RANCHERS TO HOLD EVERYTHING TILL FURTHER ORDERS.

ALL RIGHT.

WHOSE HERD DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT CALF COME FROM, GENE ?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE GOTTA FIND OUT.

HARD TO TELL WITH NO BRAND.

THERE MAY BE SOME STRAYS AROUND FROM THE SAME OUTFIT.

WE BETTER SPLIT UP AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

HEY, LOOK.

SOMEBODY'S TAILING US !

STAY BEHIND AND HEAD HIM OFF.

[ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Whinnies ]

HELLO, OPERATOR.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO DOC SOMMERS,

CHIEF VETERINARIAN AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

YES ? THIS IS DR. SOMMERS SPEAKING.

THIS IS GENE AUTRY.

I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU SINCE LAST NIGHT.

WHY, THAT SOUNDS PRETTY BAD. ARE YOU SURE IT'S HOOF-AND-MOUTH ?

- YES, I'M SURE. - NOW, YOU KEEP A STRICT QUARANTINE.

I'LL LEAVE HERE RIGHT AWAY. I'LL BE THERE IN THE MORNING.

ALL RIGHT, GENE, THAT'S RIGHT.

GOOD-BYE.

YOU STAY HERE AND MAKE SURE NO LIVESTOCK CROSSES THAT LINE.

I'M LEAVING YOU IN CHARGE. WELL, DON'T WORRY.

THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA GET BY ME.

[ Knocking ]

HELLO, MARTHA. HELLO, GENE.

HOW'S YOUR DAD ? OH, HE'S FEELING PRETTY WELL.

THE DOCTOR'S IN WITH HIM NOW. IS IT ALL RIGHT TO GO IN AND SEE HIM ?

SURE. YOU KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME ANYTIME.

WELL, OLD TIMER, HOW YOU FEELIN' ?

I GUESS THIS IS ONE DEBT I OWE YOU, GENE, THAT I NEVER CAN PAY BACK.

AH, FORGET IT. YOU'LL BE OUT OF BED IN NO TIME.

I BETTER BE. I GOT A CATTLE SHIPMENT TO LOOK AFTER.

WELL, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO, JIM.

I WILL TOO, IF OLD SOURPUSS HERE...

QUITS TREATIN' ME LIKE A-- LIKE A TENDERFOOT.

WELL, YOU AIN'T DOIN' YOURSELF NO GOOD BY GABBIN' SO MUCH.

COME ON. CLEAR OUT, BOTH OF YA. HE'S GOTTA HAVE SOME REST.

AND LISTEN, YOU OLD MOSS-HEAD,

IF YOU TRY ANY GETTIN' OUT OF BED,

I'LL COME BACK HERE AND PUT HOBBLES ON YOU !

OH, GO ON, YOU OLD GOAT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A THING, DAD.

GENE'LL HELP ME TAKE CARE OF THE SHIPMENT.

WELL, MARTHA, I-- COME ON.

MARTHA.

YOU CAN'T SHIP THOSE CATTLE. WHY NOT ?

THEY'RE ALL IN GOOD SHAPE. THE BOYS CHECKED EVERY HEAD.

I KNOW THAT, BUT I HAD TO PUT A GENERAL QUARANTINE...

OVER THE WHOLE DISTRICT TILL WE FIND THE INFECTED HERD.

BUT I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU-- OURS ARE ALL RIGHT.

WHY, THERE ISN'T A SIGN OF INFECTION.

BUT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ? THE QUARANTINE MEANS EVERYBODY. NO ONE CAN SHIP ANY CATTLE.

OH, BUT GENE, SURELY YOU REALIZE WHAT IT MEANS IF WE DON'T MAKE OUR SHIPMENT.

SURE, I KNOW. I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

MAYBE IT'LL CLEAR UP IN TWO OR THREE DAYS. TWO OR THREE DAYS ?

IT MAY BE TWO OR THREE MONTHS. THERE'S NO TELLING.

MEANWHILE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ?

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. ONLY WAIT AND HOPE.

WAIT ? THE BANKS WON'T WAIT. THEY'RE HOLDING OUR NOTES.

I CAN'T PAY THEM OFF WITH HOPE.

GENE, IN THIS CASE, YOU'VE GOTTA MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

I'M SORRY, MARTHA, BUT I CAN'T DO IT.

I'M SORRY TOO.

ARE YOU HEARIN' WHAT I SAID ? AUTRY AIN'T HERE.

AND WHEN AUTRY AIN'T HERE, I'M THE BOSS, SEE ?

AND YOU AIN'T TAKIN' NO COWS ACROSS THIS LINE. UNDERSTAND ?

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT NO HOOF-AND-MOUTH DISEASE IN THIS COUNTRY.

WHO DOES AUTRY THINK HE IS ? WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INDICATION OF HOOF-AND-MOUTH AROUND HERE.

JUST BECAUSE HE FOUND A DEAD CALF-- IF HE DID FIND A DEAD CALF.

- YEAH, WE NEVER SAW IT. WHERE IS IT ? - WELL, WE GOT RID OF IT.

YEAH ? WELL, YOU FELLAS CAN BELIEVE THAT IF YOU WANT TO.

AS FOR ME, I'M TAKING MY CATTLE THROUGH. I'M WARNIN' YA.

IF YOU TAKE ANY COWS ACROSS THIS LINE, I'M GONNA BLAST YOU WITH THIS SMOKE STICK,

AND IT AIN'T LOADED WITH BEANS.

LISTEN, YOU AIN'T BLUFFIN' US WITH THAT POP GUN.

WE'RE COMIN' THROUGH, AND YOU BETTER GET OUTTA THE WAY IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET RUN DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, FOLLOW ME !

JUST TRY RUNNIN' THIS GAL DOWN.

THERE AIN'T NO USE, FELLERS. NEPAW DON'T SCARE VERY EASY.

[ Barking ]

[ All Laughing ]

STAY WHERE YA ARE. DON'T COME NO FARTHER. I'LL SHOOT.

YOU ASKED FOR IT. [ Clicks ]

HEY, GENE, LOOKIT !

NOW, GET IN THAT TRUCK AND HEAD 'ER BACK ACROSS THE LINE.

AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YA TOO.

AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT.

AW, SHUCKS.

HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT TO KEEP THESE RANCHERS FROM MOVING THEIR STOCK, AUTRY ?

DOC SOMMERS AND HIS MEN WILL BE HERE THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

AS SOON AS WE FIND THE INFECTED HERD WE'LL ISOLATE THE RANCH,

AND THE REST OF YOU FELLAS CAN GO AHEAD WITH YOUR SHIPMENT.

THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH, ISN'T IT ? YEAH, THAT SOUNDS ALL RIGHT.

NOW, LISTEN HERE, AUTRY-- COME ON, MEN.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO FIND THAT INFECTED HERD.

YOU'D BETTER WORK FAST, BECAUSE WE'RE SCHEDULED TO SHIP TOMORROW.

REMEMBER AUTRY SAID THEY'D LIFT THE QUARANTINE...

WHEN THEY FOUND THE RANCH WITH THE INFECTED HERD ? YEAH.

WELL, SUPPOSING YOU AND I HELP HIM FIND IT ?

YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME ! TAKE IT EASY.

I MEAN, FIND SOME OF YOUR INFECTED CATTLE ON ANOTHER RANCH.

THEY'D KNOW WHOSE STOCK THEY WERE. THEY'VE GOT MY BRAND ON 'EM.

LET'S SEE. YOUR BRAND IS THE LAZY "Y." YEAH.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT WERE CHANGED A BIT, LIKE THAT ?

WHY, THAT'S THE CARTWHEEL BRAND-- THE WHEELER RANCH.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE'LL PAY THEM A VISIT TONIGHT.

WELL, WE CAN'T STAY HERE ALL NIGHT. EITHER WE DO OR WE DON'T.

BUT I'M TELLIN' YA, IF SHE'S AS MAD AT YOU AS YOU SAY SHE IS,

SHE'LL THROW US BOTH RIGHT OUT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, BOY. LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME.

LET'S GO RIGHT IN.

YES ?

WELL, FROG HERE HAD SOMETHIN' HE WANTED TO TELL YOU.

WHY, YES, I--

WHAT IS IT, FROG ?

WELL, I WAS JUST WONDERIN' IF YOU HAD A--

WELL, IF YOU KNEW ANYBODY THAT-- THAT IF YOU COULD TELL ME--

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

WELL, UH, MY ELEPHANT.

MY-MY ELEPHANT, UH-- I WAS JUST TRYIN' TO FIND...

A HOME FOR HER.

I THOUGHT SOME COUNTRY AIR WOULD BE, UM-- YOU SUPPOSE YOU COULD--

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN PUT HIM IN THE OLD BARN.

RIGHT IN HERE'S THE DISTRICT WE'LL PUT UNDER QUARANTINE, DOC.

I SUGGEST THAT WE GO UP HERE-- WELL, I GUESS I'LL BE GETTING ALONG.

IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY, DOCTOR, DON'T HESITATE TO CALL ON ME.

OH, YES. THANK YOU, SHELBY.

WELL, I FOUND THE INFECTED CATTLE.

THEY'RE ON THE WHEELER RANCH.

WHY, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

YEAH, I FIGURED YOU'D SAY THAT.

WE'D BETTER GET RIGHT OUT THERE AND HAVE A LOOK, GENE.

RYAN, LOOK AFTER THINGS TILL I GET BACK.

WELL, I GUESS THIS IS CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

SURELY, MISS WHEELER, YOU MUST REALIZE THE SERIOUSNESS...

OF NOT REPORTING A THING LIKE THIS TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES ?

BUT I TELL YOU, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

WELL, I'M VERY SORRY, BUT I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE HERD.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT, DOC. THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH THAT HERD, AND I KNOW IT.

THOSE CATTLE HAVE THE WHEELER BRAND ON 'EM. THE ENTIRE HERD'S BEEN EXPOSED.

NO ONE ON THIS RANCH COULD HAVE BURIED 'EM.

WHY, WHEELER'S BEEN FLAT ON HIS BACK EVER SINCE HE WAS SHOT.

YOU'VE BEEN ON YOUR FEET, THOUGH, HAVEN'T YOU ?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT ?

YOU HAD PLENTY OF REASON TO TRY TO COVER UP FOR WHEELER,

THINGS BEING LIKE THEY ARE BETWEEN YOU AND HIS FAMILY.

JUST A MINUTE, GENE. JUST WHAT DOES THIS MAN MEAN BY THAT ?

WHY, EVERYBODY KNOWS HE'S SWEET ON THE WHEELER GIRL.

HE'S EVEN LOANED HER FATHER MONEY. NATURALLY, HE TRIED TO COVER THEM UP.

HOW ABOUT THAT, AUTRY ? SURE, I LOANED 'EM A FEW DOLLARS.

BUT THAT'S MY OWN BUSINESS.

I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT HE WAS AT THE WHEELER PLACE LAST NIGHT,

AND THAT MUST HAVE BEEN WHEN THE STEERS WERE BURIED.

HAVE YOU ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ? NOT NOW.

BUT I'M GONNA PROVE TO YOU THAT THIS WHOLE THING IS A FRAME-UP.

I'M SORRY, GENE, BUT PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION,

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SUSPEND YOU FROM OFFICE.

WELL, YOU CAN JUST MAKE IT TWO, DOC.

ME AND GENE'S PARTNERS IN EVERYTHING.

NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THIS THING UNDER CONTROL,

I SUPPOSE THE REST OF US CAN GO AHEAD AND START SHIPPING OUR STOCK, CAN'T WE, DOCTOR ?

YES, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

I MIGHT AS WELL GO ON UP AND BREAK THE NEWS TO DAD.

IT'S GONNA HIT HIM PRETTY HARD. WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT SOMETHIN'.

SEE YOU LATER.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW, GENE ?

WE'RE GONNA RIDE OVER TO THE LAZY "Y" BEFORE BELKNAP GETS BACK THERE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKIN', BUT HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT...

FOR THAT CARTWHEEL BRAND ON THEM DEAD STEERS ?

BRANDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BEFORE, HAVEN'T THEY ?

HEY, SHERIFF ! COME ON. YOU GOTTA HURRY. WE FOUND 'EM.

YOU MIND TELLING ME WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT ? I AIN'T GOT TIME.

HURRY UP. COME ON, BOYS ! LET'S GET GOING !

WHERE'S FROG ? HOW SHOULD I KNOW ?

DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU LEFT HIM HERE ?

JUST A MINUTE, AUTRY. THIS HAPPENS TO BE PRIVATE PROPERTY.

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOIN' ? HOLD ON, BELKNAP.

I'M HERE ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS. WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, DOC ?

WE WANNA TAKE A LOOK AT THE CATTLE IN THAT BARN.

CATTLE IN THE BARN ?

ALL RIGHT, QUIT YOUR STALLIN', BELKNAP.

I'LL HAVE A LOOK, IF YOU DON'T MIND. WHY, SURE, DOC.

ANYTHING YOU SAY.

WELL, DO YOU SEE ANY CATTLE IN THERE ?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, AUTRY, MAKE A FOOL OF ME ?

THEY'VE MOVED 'EM. THIS PLACE WAS FULL OF CATTLE LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE TROUBLED YOU, MR. BELKNAP.

I'M NOT THROUGH WITH THIS THING YET, BELKNAP. NO ?

WELL, STALLING FOR TIME WON'T SAVE THAT WHEELER HERD.

WAIT A MINUTE, SOMMERS !

SOMMERS, YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO ME.

AUTRY, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE MY MIND...

ABOUT THE WHEELER CATTLE, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.

I'M ON MY WAY THERE NOW TO DESTROY THAT ENTIRE HERD.

- OH, NO, YOU'RE NOT. - WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?

I'M GONNA PROVE YOU'RE WRONG IF I HAVE TO HOGTIE YOU TO DO IT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER DOWN THERE ?

LOOKS LIKE GENE'S GOT HIMSELF INTO SOME TROUBLE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE ?

ARREST THAT MAN, SHERIFF.

ARREST GENE ? WHY, WHAT FOR ?

ASSAULT AND ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING. I'LL SIGN THE COMPLAINT LATER.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY ?

I WAS ONLY TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM MAKING A MISTAKE.

I'M SORRY, BUT I'VE GOT TO TAKE YOU WITH ME.

I'M SORRY A WHOLE LOT, GENE. I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT...

YOU DOUBLE-CROSSIN SMART ALECK !

WHAT'D YOU WANNA TELL ME ? I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

BELKNAP IS DOWN IN THE VALLEY WITH HIS MEN AND THEM CATTLE RIGHT NOW.

I FIGURED HE'D DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND SHELBY'S DOWN AT THE TRAIN LOADIN'.

SAY, WE HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. I'VE BEEN TELLIN' YOU THAT.

HEY, SHERIFF ! SHERIFF ! YOU'VE GOTTA LET ME OUT OF HERE.

BELKNAP AND HIS MEN ARE DOWN-- YOU CAN'T MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME LIKE YOU DID SOMMERS.

YOU FELLERS ARE STAYIN' RIGHT HERE.

WELL, YES, THAT'S WHAT WE THOUGHT, SHERIFF.

WE MERELY WANTED CONFIRMATION.

[ Trumpeting Continues ]

IT'S NEPAW ! HERE, NEPAW ! HERE ! COME HERE !

WHOO ! LOOK HERE ! I GOT A PEANUT FOR YA !

IT'S NO USE. SHE'S HARD OF HEARIN'.

EARS LIKE A BARN DOOR, AND IT'S HARD OF HEARIN' ? THAT'S RIGHT.

GIMME THEM GALLUSES. HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT ABOUT MY TROUSERS ?

I'LL GET YOU SOME THUMBTACKS. I NEED THOSE TO HOLD UP MY TROUSERS.

[ Trumpeting ] [ Screaming, Shouting ]

YOU GOT A PIECE OF STRING ?

WHAT WOULD I BE DOIN' WITH A PIECE OF STRING ?

BRACE YOURSELF.

THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT. THAT'S--

KEEP HIS HEAD UP. KEEP HIS HEAD UP. WHO'S DOIN' IT ?

LOOK OUT, LOOK OUT.

HE NEARLY GOT IT THAT TIME, DIDN'T HE ? HE'S A BEAUTY IF WE LAND HIM.

[ Stammering ] THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.

HE CAN MOVE WHEN HE WANTS TO, CAN'T HE ?

[ Trumpeting ]

DON'T YOU HAVE BETTER SENSE THAN TO TRY TO BUST OUT OF JAIL ?

TURN THEM HORSES AROUND. WE HAD TO GET YOU OUT HERE, SHERIFF.

BELKNAP'S GETTIN' RID OF HIS INFECTED STOCK.

THERE IS SOMETHING STRANGE GOIN' ON DOWN THERE.

COME ON. LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

YOU AIN'T GOT NO RIGHT TO PULL ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON ME, AUTRY.

NO, BUT THE SHERIFF HAS.

GO ON.

TAKE HIM AWAY, JOE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, GENE. IT'S HOOF-AND-MOUTH.

I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO TELL SOMMERS ALL ALONG IT WAS BELKNAP'S HERD.

AND SHELBY'S ALREADY STARTED TO SHIP THE INFECTED CATTLE. WE GOTTA STOP HIM.

I'LL TRY AND STOP SHELBY, BUT SOMEONE'S GOT TO GET TO SOMMERS...

AND KEEP HIM FROM DESTROYIN' WHEELER'S HERD. LET ME GO TELL HIM.

HE WOULDN'T BELIEVE YOU. I'LL GO WITH HIM.

A COUPLE OF YOU BOYS TAKE CARE OF THOSE MEN.

THE REST OF YOU ROUND UP THOSE INFECTED CATTLE.

CAN'T YOU SPEED THIS UP ? WE'RE JUST ABOUT READY NOW.

THAT'S THE LAST OF 'EM.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE !

YOU CAN'T KILL THOSE CATTLE, DOCTOR. THAT'S RIGHT.

GENE AND FROG HAVE FOUND THE INFECTED CATTLE.

SHERIFF, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS MAN. I AIN'T A FOOL, DOC, REALLY.

THAT INFECTED HERD BELONGS TO BELKNAP.

WHY, AUTRY TRIED TO TELL ME THE SAME THING. BUT FROG'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE ? BECAUSE WE'VE CAUGHT 'EM.

MY BOYS ARE TAKING BELKNAP AND HIS MEN TO JAIL RIGHT NOW. HOLD EVERYTHING, MEN !

ALL SET, MR. SHELBY. OKAY.

[ Train Whistle Blowing ]

GET OFF THIS TRAIN, AUTRY.

ALL RIGHT, BACK THIS TRAIN UP TO THE LOADIN' PEN.

IT SURE HAS BEEN NICE KNOWIN' YA. SO LONG, PROFESSOR.

IF YOU'RE BACK THROUGH HERE, LOOK US UP.

[ Sheriff ] HEY, PROFESSOR !

WAIT A MINUTE !

WAIT A MINUTE !

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, PROFESSOR.

I, UH, JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THAT BOTTLE OF HAIR TONIC.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT, BROTHER.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE OF SERVICE TO THE LAW.

WELL, GOOD-BYE. COME AGAIN SOMETIME.

WHAT'S THE MATTER ? AIN'T YOU MAD AT HIM NO MORE ?

WHAT, ME MAD AT HIM ?

HECK NO.
