zone around here and if you were half

the fighter that full of said you are

stolen money from the Durango kid well

with the sheriff yeah that love head

he's got a one rope mine and a kind of

rope at me I hate to see if I get hung

for something he didn't do

you had in mind to keep that money you

know Javier's fella gets broken angry

yeah I know you looking for work what

kind of work helping me here in the shop

what do you make I'm a veterinary I must

say that would be kind of a letdown of a

fellow who can beat bandits at their own

game

well I figured I might be able to throw

in our Java so toys your friends there

think you could yeah well in that case

fine son

you're now working for Doc Walker the

best animal vet in town the two ways of

being the best animal vet in town one is

taken care of ailing animals what's the

other being the only vet in town the

Durango kid popped up here just a little

while ago and mustered up a cavalry

Durango kid yeah then he disappeared

down that way all of a sudden now you

show up well that is a coincident about

that proposition I made you your answers

meeting of the cattle ranches tonight I

maybe if you dropped over and listened

in you might change your mind I won't do

any harm to listen that's all I want to

know you get my home tonight right

[Applause]

[Music]

I've got a reason for asking you to be

here in secret like this it's because

we've got to take steps to protect

ourselves I'm fed up with the whole

thing but unless we organize like the

rustlers are now on we've got to fight

fire with fire we've got to hire

gunslingers killers like Hawk Fisher

King Martin maybe even the Durango kid

and I'm hoping to interest Steve Haley

here if we can make it worth his while

now wait just a minute pop if you're

asking us to associate ourselves with

Wallace gunman hoping you listen to me

it takes gunmen to fight gun I think

pops right it might be worth trying yeah

I think so too

fact is I think somebody's been putting

the pressure on us to drive us out of

business

[Music]

so I'm offering you the management of

this red you can carry out the ideas my

father had in mind I'm sorry mister I've

got other plans you can name your own

that money you took promised start

over

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

sure come on boys get out here

[Music]

[Music]

Oh backtrack now the old rabbit trick

well this time we ain't gonna worry

spending more words on you what's going

on down here

this is a guy that took the money from

us I know that you men could learn a

thing or two from smiley he's joining up

with us and you can depend on me too

every time I heard starts north we raid

them arrayed him sure keeps the cattle

from get in the market

what does Tobin do with all them cows e

wrestles but we got him head what's the

matter did I say something no but you

don't look so happy

oh I'm just thinking what about nothing

in particular just just thinkin well

don't think too hard liable to give you

a nightmare

[Applause]

[Music]

Nellie Bly has a voice just like her

[Music]

listen love to me I'll say for you play

for you listen love to me I'll say for

you play for you but also cloudy evening

miss grant

[Music]

I got to tell you something come on to

give this part of the country back to

the outlaws you can't lick this by

running away if I could get a fair price

for my ranch I'd sell out right now you

keep it mum stay on the job

Tobin's yeah we don't want to tip our

hand yet I think there's somebody big

behind all this

you better get out of here

here comes Big Jim now folks

oops I suppose you all know I'm down

here from Abilene

I've worked hard to promote a railroad

to haul cattle but I'm not getting any

cattle now I happen to know there's a

lot of beef down here in this section of

the state but what good is it to you

folks if you can't get it to market

maybe you can tell us how to get them

through the rustlers on the raise if you

think it's so easy to get them up there

why don't you do it yourself miss that's

exactly why I'm here

force I'm going to buy the beef from you

right here and take you to Abilene

myself now it's going to be just as

tough on me getting that beef to Abilene

as it was on you and since I have to

take all the risks I think it's only

fair that we establish a price that will

give me a decent break and since I have

to worry about the Stampede and the race

I figure that $2 a head for your beef is

just about right $2 a head I knew it was

too good to be true folks folks please

after all $2 a head is a fair price and

what do you make when you get them

dabbling miss I don't even know if I'm

going to be able to get them through

vote I think Big Jim is right I know

that $2 a head is not much money but

it's a lot better than being killed

trying to get them through you can have

mine for $2 I don't want them around no

more I'll take the risk every time I

lose a steer holly was $2 you already

have your money

you have three times and I'll tell apply

next to your listen man just a minute

please listen maybe a Big Jim here is

trying to help you

and maybe he's trying to help himself so

why don't you folks ask yourselves who

Tim pretty most interested in you people

are in South please go on Steve we're

listening yeah

keep talkin well maybe two dollars a

head is a lot of money in big Jim's

opinion but I know fourteen and sixteen

dollars there's a lot more and that's

what you might get for monopoly you all

sides failed that's because you've never

worked together each one of you have

tried to get to the market first now the

only way you're gonna make it to Abilene

is to round up a cow in one single hurt

make it a big cattle drive maybe someone

gets through isn't 1416 dollars or even

12 we're taking risk for

if you're going on that cattle drive and

this time I won't take no for an answer

I think he's got his price same as

anyone else in fact doctor I've already

asked him to come in to have a talk

later

I wouldn't bargain with Haley I just

take a couple of minutes the worst thing

you could do after that meeting all the

ranch's this section will look to Steve

Haley to lead him how he got hurt people

begin to wonder why that's rising Jim

you go back to Abilene Chet you throw a

thousand head of cattle into that drive

well that's crazy me joining the drive

it'll be crazier if you don't sound

sense to Buddha oh here comes Steve

Haley now I'll talk to him alone

[Music]

how did our epidemic going around a cuz

I mixed up a lot of these pills yeah

yeah you planning to stay in the Bearcat

dr. pan on what well listen exactly the

kind of country a man comes to for his

helps hmm and why did you give the

$10,000 back to the sheriff I saw I went

against the grain but I figured it was a

good investment doc and what people

confidence in me hmm yeah money sharp

you going on that drive tomorrow yep I'm

working for Nora grant

nice-looking girl I hadn't noticed

just a job to me too bad you took that

job you could be working for Big Jim

granny good eye

yeah Jim does things in a big way now if

that drive didn't go through it might be

lots of it for some people including

yourself

that would mean splitting for weight huh

I don't know how you figure but you know

rest for tick is good now the first

thing I want you men to do when you hit

that right mr. foam Haley for my lady

I don't get it I thought you said Haley

was hard to make things easy for us

doctor I'm all right but Haley's driving

a hard bargain I don't know whether or

not I can trust him where's Burnett oh

he's out Sparkle asleep out sparking I

would learn the yodel I'd go on a diet

too

stand on my head till my ears turn red

different thought of my hip with you I

would climb a priest would ride a bronc

like a buckaroo

some kind out of practice I would set up

on the cactus if I thought I gained a

point with you nothing you could ask

could faze me I get it done somehow

anything you'd like in the Gypsy fight

get it right here right now I would sing

like a medal I enjoyed that smiling

the cover of night night what's the big

idea no use getting hostile boys we're

all working for Tobin I know we are I

don't know about you now since you put

it that way I have got a private reason

for not wanting so what reason money

honey

yeah ever stop to figure what you're

making out of this $50 a month $50 a

month for rustling somebody's making big

money out of the cash you read and you

take all the risk what are you getting

that the profits the lion's share

look we're us most cattle there's a

couple of thousand dollars for every man

here anybody interested hey I think he's

got something

it's opportunity knocking at the door

with a piledriver Sammy how about you

Burke yeah I'd be interested in a couple

thousand dollars good then we're all

agreed

and what about your angle kid Dave to me

like he aims to break up a raid every

time we start one ah Steve can take care

of him he's done it before he can do it

again maybe you're right

okay now on we take orders from Steve

that's all right how do you think you're

gonna work this that's the way I've got

it figured Boy

[Applause]

you said we'd hit it when that cross Red

River I was a couple days ago why don't

we move in autumn break up that drive or

maybe you got another private reason for

not wanting to I have we don't follow

that hurt at all they're going straight

to Abilene

what for I'm working on that well maybe

so but I still don't get it

I'm going into Abilene round up some

cattle buyers have them come out here
