[Music]

from

[Music]

this is the story of wildfire

the most sought after stallion in all

arizona

[Music]

in the early days of the great southwest

herds of wild horses roamed freely

wild horses have caused much havoc among

ranches

by breaking fences destroying grain

fields

stampeding cattle

and worst of all running off with

valuable horse thought

for this reason

man became their worst enemy

they avoided him when they could

and fought him when they had to

each herd had a leader who guarded and

guided them

he had to be the fastest and smartest

among them

and so this herd had its leader wildfire

[Music]

look there he is that's wildfire all

right we'll fix him this time he will

cut him off from the hurt he feel no

more of my horses

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

back let's go

canyon the rest of it ought to be easy

[Music]

wild horse leader for months and we're

going to get it right now oh no you're

not there's a law against shooting wild

horses well that horse's soul has to

stalk in this valley and we aim to get

him war no longer

[Music]

it's right to do this

we got to put him out of his measure

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i guess you're not as tough as you make

out

we got that sling in our out

[Music]

i could cauterize that wound that might

stop the bleeding

kick him off that leg for a while

he might be all right

you think we could save him

it's worth a try anyway

i'm willing

back to our pack and get that sling

alkali

be right

be all right

keeping his weight off that lake doing

the trick

there for that match he's hungry he's

hungry

you know i start out being a horse

trader and i wind up being a horse's

mane

free on that horse runs the better i

like it

it is but it ain't going to be so easy

no more

why not foster alibi

for my heart's palpitatin and i'm not

hesitating for she said she'd be waiting

for me

by the sleepy rio grande

beneath

an old old tree

with stars like diamonds high in the sky

that's the place i'm longing to be

[Music]

howdy

this is the town corral isn't it that's

right

oh i see you're the local shark here

yeah

since you don't pack any signs uh

i'd like to know what you do

right at present i'm a horse trader but

while we're on the subject maybe you can

tell me where i can get the best deal in

this town

stranger that's a pointed issue around

here

it might be more profitable for you to

do your horse trading elsewhere

[Music]

the word for the wise is sufficient

[Music]

and another thing

what they say those two fellows crack

down on the ranchers and i haven't seen

anything of them or wildfire since well

that's a fun one

hello

who were they

oh strangers

nice looking bunch of horses there

hopefully

i'll say

i could sure go for that pair of paints

i like the saddler

well i like the whole herd

say buck uh those are your pintos aren't

they

like i swear i saw you pay for them

oh i get you

i got him from uh

from indian charlie

no but charlie's been dead six

months so there's no one to prove he

didn't

doug you're the head of the cattlemen's

association now buck here is making a

formal claim for those horses

go and get them for them

howdy

my name is doug hulker of the

cattlemen's association you mind telling

us where you got those horses

i bought some of them the others i

traded for

you want the history of each one no

just the two pillows there cause they're

mine

you're mistaken my friend i bought those

pianos in little river that's a lie i

bought them right here from indian

charlie i can swear to that

well in that case i'll have to take

possession of the entire herd and hold

him until i can make an investigation

not so fast

if he brought those horses here how does

it happen i got him in little river

cause you stole him you thief

[Music]

how old are you

looks like buck made a mistake well most

anybody can make a mistake

besides pindles look pretty much alike

uh going my way

good thing you had your papers on you

happy that cattleman's death on horse

piece

behind to death well looks like they

were determined to get away with our

horses but

scrap

bye belong why

you know how this reminds me of that

we better get on about our business to

quicker we get him out of town the

better be for us what's eating you

i'll show him how smart he is the minute

his back is turned we can steal his

whole herd yeah she tried that already

once buck

yeah i know but i got methods good luck

i uh

no you didn't want to see anything with

the other three around but what did you

learn while i was away the deal's coming

through fine but we'll have to work fast

to have things tied up the way we want

them

well remember fanny

only you and i are cutting in on this

yes buck and the others know the deal

they could tell plenty yeah they know

too much

don't worry

we can handle them when the time comes

looks of any of them

law

only through trying to stay on the right

side of it why

i wrote the united states marshal asking

that someone be sent in here to do a

little investigating so when i saw you

in town a stranger i thought you might

be the man

didn't you tell me this in town

i saw mr fanning coming and didn't care

to talk to him he insists on buying my

wrench with the sentimental reasons i

don't want to sell so i avoided him

guess what is it you weren't

investigated

there's been a lot of horse dealing

going on in this salary lately and

oh i think it started about three months

ago everyone blames it on a wild horse

they claim he's gone off with about

every herd here

but i don't believe it

you know i looked everywhere

ain't seen hiding a hair of those horse

traitors for an hour

hey look

them to pinots are gone

whether they're being traded somewhere

be all right

ah cheer up miss you know it's always

darkest just before born

alkaline

learned

speak only when you're spoken to

that you missed we'll leave those

turtles in your corral for the time

being i'll take care of them yeah

besides which that will give him a

chance to come back to see

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

more of my best saddlers way to put an

end to all this that hadn't been for

those two birds stopping us out in the

hills

out in the hills and by a streak of luck

that's wild fire he just rode in on

yeah what about it

well we sort of want to get your

permission to destroy

him well it's all the same to you carter

i'd rather you'd get that permission

from doug holcomb after all he's head of

the cattlemen's association comes more

under the heading of his business to

tell whether or not an animal should be

destroyed

that's all right

i'm for going in to see hoka right now

to see him destroyed

yeah

they tried to get both of us back in the

hills

sheriff they've asked for it we're

having a showdown

all right

go ahead and arrest them bucking those

two to run weddings i'll swear to the

charge of attempted murder

pretty big order of me working alone

well at least you got one you can take

care of the other fellow and he shows up

well we won't have to wait long

look

[Music]

but

steve i'm arrested

[Music]

attempted murder

all right that's ridiculous

who's making the charge

my deputy happy hey

everybody that's right

since when the sheriff of rawhide city

need a deputy

since right now

get their guns johnny

you seem to be a natural-born

troublemaker mr haye

but you're not going to make it stick

i happen to have a lot of influence in

this town

maybe that's what's wrong with the town

i'll send word to judge folsom

these two will get their first hearing

in the morning come on get going

[Music]

i'll send someone down to jail warn the

boys to keep their mouth shut well it's

happy hayes mouth we want to shut and

quick okay

we finally got our hands on wildfire got

him down to town peril now well what do

you want me to do about it well sheriff

deal said we'd have to get your

permission as head of the cattlemen's

association before we could destroy him

let's have a look over

there he is

well that takes care of three of them

now we could just get something on

fanning and hulker

i've got to hunt you as being with the

cattlemen's association's only a cover

yeah

you know speaking of holster that

reminds me of something it was wildfire

that outlaw stallion had brought alkali

into beauty

yeah yeah said the horse saved him out

in the hill

brought him in just as gentle as the

lamb

she should have seen him plunge and cut

up when carter and the other ranchers

threw a rope on

threw a rope on him what do you mean

well they captured him

me to let him shoot him right there but

i didn't have the heart where they got

him now well the last i saw him they

were dragging him in to see hulker to

get hit permission to shoot him

and aside from all the horse stealing

holster he's a man killer and that's

right you demand that you let us shoot

him right now

better let him do it

all right man

go ahead

let him have it

put that gun down

i told you once before enough to shoot

that horse

poker said we could and he speaks for

the cattlemen's association

i say you can't and i speak for the law

get in there and turn

[Music]

come on wildfire get back in the hills

where you belong

[Music]

sheriff i demand you arrest him

you ever hear of a sheriff arresting his

own deputy for saving a life

[Music]

so

[Music]

hey judy that's a song you like so well

on the

banks of the sunny

[Music]

one if it

will

reach the sea

wondering where

my

old candy

[Music]

i'm watching

and waiting here still

all that's left of my seat

is to sit with my

dreams on the bank

of the

sunnis and one

[Music]

this message

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i'm watching

and waiting

here still

and someday i may see

you come drifting

to

me

on your way

dear old son

[Music]

all of us

[Music]

it's good

[Music]

how are you feeling now fellaini

never felt better in my life

practically a new man

well almost

[Music]

hey happy where'd you disappear to last

night been looking high and low for you

for the wrong ride uncle i knew about it

he didn't tell us i don't tell

everything i hear

well what'd you find out plenty did you

find out how i sure did i fell into a

box canyon someone had them

did you learn who it was yes but i know

one thing this is one they can't blame

on wildfire why

you see i put shoes on all my work

i checked every track around that corral

there hadn't been a barefooted horse

anywhere in the earth wildfire is a

blame for a lot of things he didn't do

we better head into town judge foster's

due to have a hearing for those two

fellows that tried to get you an

alcoholic on the hill

come on all right you're gonna be the

star with

[Music]

[Music]

howdy judge balsam howdy i thought we

were to meet at the courthouse well

there's no need for me to courthouse

i've released the prisoners

we convinced him it was the frame up

you and your pal

trying to black and innocent men buck

and the others said they caught you in

the hills stealing or trying to steal a

band of horses that's why they fired on

you

and you believed him huh

buddy clever uses wildfire to steal

horses

yeah that's why you tried to save him

from being shot now hold on a minute

judge is something wrong here my sheriff

can vouch for these men well you're no

longer sheriff johnny i moved you this

morning focus in charge

and you're under arrest for aiding these

criminals

johnny and i'm arresting you for horse

stealing and you know what horse dealing

means

take them in hooker

[Music]

don't let him get to his horn through

the gate

well what are we waiting for

don't worry judy

[Music]

oh he's got no horse

power in our horses we pick up the trail

all right i'll take your towel and

johnny deal and take him into town

they're gone

pretty smart eh

well they won't get far

so

i think it'd be fun to hear at our camp

happy how'd you two get away well while

they were busy looking for you it made

ours easy yeah happy we're in a tough

spot

i didn't get a chance to tell you what i

found out last night

well far away

after i found our horses i went back to

town and did a little detective

yeah

johnny have you ever heard of the crown

ranch well certainly everybody's heard

the crown ranch that's the biggest

cattle outfit west of the divide

read this i got it out of hulker's

office

[Music]

uh dear mr hulker this is your authority

to purchase for us at the price you

outlined all the ranches situated east

of the divide in rawhide valley signed

george vorman president brown ranch yeah

but there's no law against a man

representing somebody to buy a branches

so that still doesn't tell us anything

in my book it does johnny has hulker

tried to buy up any of the ranches

around here

not that i know of

but spanning has

well just the other day offered judy a

ridiculous prize for her place

there's your answer

banning and hoker working together yeah

but that's still within the law

granted but the game they're working is

against the law stealing the ranchers

start to work a freeze out

i see it

fanning by the wrenches for a song then

he seldom through hulker to the clown uh

ranch for a big problem right yeah then

you think that burning and hofer are

stealing horses huh i don't only think

it i'm aiming to prove it

that's right

[Music]

you men have a look over that race i'll

take the canyon if i see him i'll fire a

shot all right good

[Music]

[Music]

get off that horse

well

we need a good witness yard and you just

have to take it

well this will be another charge against

you

kidnapping young man

not that we need any more charges to

hang you but just to warn you that

you'll never get away with this thing

you know and furthermore let's make your

breath guys we've got work to do

[Music]

they're our horses judge we got the

papers to prove it

i believe that part of your story

but you'll never convince me that hulker

and fanning are horse thieves

that's the reason you're here we're

aiming to prove it

hey here comes somebody now

[Music]

i know that fella sure

that's just stolen a notorious trader of

stolen horses

[Applause]

[Music]

let's get down there and see what this

is all about

judge you'd better keep a lookout from

here there might be some action happy

how about that gun of mine

ain't been in one of these things for

years you know

[Music]

if we could sneak up to that wall we'll

be able to hear what they're talking

about yeah i'll go around the back go

ahead

yes i know it's the horses i came here

and i must say they're pretty bad

i've had a long way to come

i've got a long way to go back
