it becomes here he comes there's the

trumpet stands the drums here he comes

purple on Cassidy

[Music]

my saddle pal read Connors and I were

riding deep in the heart of the Sierra

Blanca country on a strange Mission a

week ago the assistant chief for the

Bureau of Indian Affairs had sent for me

in his office in Santa Fe New Mexico

and somewhere in this thousand square

mile area is the place the Indians call

the land of the black Waters that birth

only Chief tolhorse has the map with the

exact location

said to be on a bracelet that's handed

down from father to son you mean you

brought Happy Meal away from Twin Rivers

just to tell us it's Indian Bedtime

Story red this is not just a legend

there's a lot of evidence in the museums

that prove that the Comanches knew of

the existence of oil long before the

white man came West Chief tall horses

admitted he has the map but he refuses

to give it up

says the tradition of his tribe that

only evil can come from the black Waters

oh Indians are always worrying about

ghosts or something they had a right to

worry about the waters in those days red

the animals got stuck in the oil and

when the praise went after them they got

stuck too and went under

well Mr Bradley now that I've given Red

his history lesson what is it you want

me to do I want to get that map from

Chief tall horse if anyone can get it I

know you can

why is it so important all of a sudden

that land is due to be open for

homesteading 10 days from today if

anyone discovers oil after that date the

Indians won't get a pennies worth of it

and if it's discovered before then I

have the promise of the government that

the Indians will get 25 percent of all

the oil taken from that ground

I don't know the chief has always been

pretty upset in these ideas happy you

know my feeling toward the Indians you

know I've always tried to help them will

you help me

well the government put their promise to

the Indians in writing I have it right

here

that's good we'll leave for Sierra

Blanca reservation tonight

South and West

reservation oh it's too late to go

gentlemen I've ever known the last of

the Comanche Chiefs

[Music]

lazy

kitchen

[Music]

a long time since you've seen me Johnny

tall horse how did you remember my name

hasn't he been a long time

before I was sent to the white man's

School

but one doesn't forget the name of the

face of the man who helped his father

make a lasting peace with his white

brothers

here healthier there yes just hold him

still I'll cut his shirt

it was nearly noon of the next day when

Johnny finally pronounced his father out

of danger the chief had been lucky the

bullet had just missed his heart

[Music]

happy yeah

[Music]

my son and I are both gratefully me here

in time yesterday

thank you chief

you feel better now

bye

why people are tough

it takes more than one bullet to kill a

camachi

what brings you to Sierra Blanca

it's all right if I talk really well go

ahead probably do them good

Chief I'm here on a nation that may

bring great prosperity to all your

people in the years to come

[Music]

the chief and I talked for several hours

he asked many questions mainly about the

government's promise to protect these

people

I showed him the paper Bradley had given

me

my people are never in a hurry when

there's something important to be

considered

puppy can convince him

I think he could convince my father that

black is white

so I have told you the whole story Chief

that's as far as I can go

I know you to be a man of Truth friend

Cassidy

I will give you the map

the white men can drill for the black

Waters that burn

on the bracelet on my right wrist is

engraved the map

take it with my blessing

[Music]

but not on your wrist you must have

taken it off

when I was 21 years old my father placed

the bracelet on my wrist

from that day to this it had never left

my arm

he had it on when he left yesterday

afternoon hobby he did

now I think I know why you were shot

last night

somebody beside your father must know

that that bracelet is the map to the oil

Land but who could read it outside of a

Comanche chief

well it might take time with anyone

who's made a study of Comanche symbols

might eventually work it out

hey Johnny

what do you know about Turner Andy's

sister

kind of people are they where'd they

come from

well Betty came out here a short time

ago with a blind brother and opened up a

millinery shop she's been very kind to

the children on the reservation as a

matter of fact that's why father went in

to see her yesterday to thank her for

some clothes she made for them

I'm afraid you're way wide on the mark

there Hobby ah Maybe

did she make the first move to meet you

on your father

come to think of what she did

she always seemed very much interested

in Comanche folklore

did she ever mention the bracelet your

father wore

she always admired it as a fine piece of

primitive art she did huh

I think I'll go into town and have a

talk with Miss Betty Turner surely you

don't suspect her of having anything to

do with this

Johnny you never can tell what some

people might do especially when the

stakes are high

come on red that's the winter time

[Applause]

hello Miss Turner

I want to thank you for the use of the

blanket

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that the

chief is going to live I'm so glad to

hear that

plane

Mr casty says that the chief is going to

be all right isn't that wonderful news

wonderful in a few weeks he'll be just

as good as new

all right thanks to you Mr castie for

getting him to the doctrine in time

Betty and I become very fond of the Old

Gentleman

I don't remember having seen you before

do you belong in this District oh no

we're from the Twin Rivers country we

just came down here to buy some Indian

cattle

well we better go if we want to look at

that herd goodbye

oh uh by the way

the chief seems to think he lost a

bracelet of some kind here in town last

night did you hear anyone say they found

it

no I didn't

was it valuable no I don't think so it's

probably just one of those old things

the older Indians wear if I hear

anything I'll let the chief know I

wouldn't worry about it you remember

where he put it when his mind clears up

goodbye thanks for coming in Mr Cassidy

goodbye

you sure learned a lot of nothing in

there I wouldn't say that you know hoppy

the longer I hang around you the less I

know what's in your mind that goes two

ways double come on where are we headed

for telegraph office I want to get a

message off to Bradley in Santa Fe what

about I want some information about a

blind man who can write what are you

talking about hoppy don't let that flame

Turner can see as good as I can

what makes you think so with working on

those maps in the living room table you

had ink stains all over his fingers I

didn't see any I did

you did

I sent my message asking if the Bureau

of Indian Affairs knew anything of a

woman who called herself Betty Turner

and an hour later I received a reply

[Music]

see

yeah really

Betty Turner formerly a secretary in

this office stop

what he's done for read the rest of it

said strongly well that's just a period

oh sure

stop

your brother Blaine Turner considered an

authority on Indian folklore Brandon and

I'll be darn it's like we hit on

something huh dirty sneak what do we go

to do now get the bracelet back I wish

it was that simple we can't even prove

that they've got it come on let's get

back to the reservation

an idea that might work

[Music]

if anyone else had told me this story I

would not have believed them you know

something else Chief I believe Blaine

Turner shot you just to get that

bracelet

but we still have to prove it hmm

Chief do you have another bracelet that

looks anything like a map bracelet we

have several

all right Johnny got them out of the

cabinet

yeah this one has the same symbols and

markings as the ones on the map bracelet

that's good we'll just put another

Chief's Billy here for a while

Chief tall horse had a mighty narrow

Escape

he's going to be laid up in bed a long

time

my brother and I will have to get out to

see him one of these days

does anyone have any idea who shot him

he figured it might have been someone

who had a feud with a chief in the old

days

red was playing the dumb talkative

numbskulled perfectly and it looked like

Betty was falling for it

thing about that bracelet that

disappeared what's funny about it

Chief told us that it had something to

do with a map or something it wasn't any

good without the other one

what other one the other bracelet the

chief has

no it it's no good without the other one

to complete the math

least ways that's the way I understood

it

that sounds very interesting and

exciting

Andre's pillow

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

Fred and I were riding home from a

business trip across the border to reach

our Ranch to Bar 20 we had to pass

through a number of Mexican villages

avocado was one of the smallest

settlements yet in its colorless sleepy

way it fascinated me

[Music]

get that wagon out of here

had Tampa been a less intelligent horse

I couldn't have avoided writing her down

fortunately the woman was unhurt and I

helped her to her feet she apologized

for stepping in front of us she said she

had heard us and the wagon and became

confused

I looked at her more closely and

suddenly the reason why she had failed

to see us became clear

Senora Soledad was blind

you have been kind to a blind lady

I hope because of me you have not too

long delayed your journey oh we weren't

going any place in particular were we

red least ways we weren't in any hurry

oh Bueno then you can drink a cup of

coffee perhaps see oh yes

too much trouble but it is already

please

could I help you Sonora oh no gracias

please sit down

it's four years now that I am blind and

one learned to get along

my main Pedro solidad he is dead and my

son Manuel he is gone so I manage for

myself your boy has even gone long

he's seven months it seems to me he

should have stayed with you oh no Senor

he could not make enough money here

there is no work in Rio Hermosa he has

good jobs he did not like to leave me

but he we need the money Senor I'll help

you with this thank you senor

while I poured the coffee red and I

learned that her son Manuel for the

first five months of his absence had

sent the Sonora money

several weeks before however Manuel

stopped writing and also stopped sending

the money

naturally the good woman was worried

she wondered if perhaps the change had

come about because of a girl Manuel had

met in Rio Hermosa

all she knew about this girl was that

her name was carmencita Escobar and that

she worked in a Cantina

well it's been very pleasant Senora but

we must go off we hope to get to our

Ranch before dark

and again when you ride through a

podcast

certainly will thank you very much

pronto

you sure there's nothing more we can do

for you before we go

[Music]

red seemed puzzled when I delayed our

start for home the fact was I wondered

about Manuel and why it stopped writing

to his blind mother as I could think of

no pressing reason to hurry home I

suggested the red we devote a couple of

days in checking the situation in Rio

Hermosa red was pleased he too wanted to

ease the mind of Senora Soledad

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all right don't get enough

by the way

whatever happened to that fellow that

used to hang around you what do you

think I know everybody's business the

customers come and they go I don't keep

track of them you kept track of this one

his name was Manuel

Manuel Soledad or something like that he

went away someplace I don't know where

Now give me the money

hey

[Laughter]

everyone in the Spitfire is telling the

truth

[Music]

maybe she's not

we'll hang around just in case

why you ask about this Manuel

friends of his

then why don't you ask about him before

you've been in here many times since he

went away that's right sweetheart

but we didn't know he just wanted for

murder until today he's in trouble so we

want to help him

he is in trouble he will have other

friends he can trust

thank you

[Music]

what do you Hombres want I like a total

aggressive field of water with a little

Cherry syrup in it we have beer wine and

whiskey that's all

are you making jokes this is a place of

business what for you Senor information

about what

are you clemency to Escobar what if I am

we hear that you might know that

whereabouts of Manuel Soledad

it's important that we find man well so

I'd appreciate anything you can tell me

about him I can't tell you nothing he

stayed in Rio Hermosa a few months but

five six weeks ago he went away where

where'd he go if you want to ask

questions find Manuel and ask him

what's your pitch mister

the answer is none of your business

we're making it our business Manuel was

our friend it'll strike me as the kind

that have any friends or a smart alec

huh

[Music]

keep your hands off that Hardware

you know

come on

I'll get

it get on your horse doesn't get out of

town

thank you

foreign

we're not going in there again no

but I'm going to keep my eye on those

two I got to hunt some leaders to Manuel

I gotta hunt you asking for trouble

you see Carmen see that I've talked to

Manuel's mother she's flying them alone

in avocado

he not only needs a little money that

he's been sending her but

she's worried for fear Something's

Happened to him because he's quite

writing to her she could sure use the

money too why don't you be a good girl

and tell us where he is your medic

honors you make obliged to fool me how I

know that is all you want from one win

I guess you'll just have to take our

word for it senorita for your word

it's pretty obvious Manuel is in trouble

and I'd like to help him but you will

have to help too by telling me where I

can find him

please

when Manuel left the real Hermosa he

went to the Rancho Diablo

Rancho Diablo where is that it is in the

Hills East six seven miles I think maybe

you find him there

Russia senorita

asked to live Easter

[Music]

I couldn't believe the karmacita told us

the whole truth red agreed and the ride

the Rancho Diablo might prove to be a

wild goose chase

I decided first I would talk with the

local commandant of the rallies in the

meantime red would keep an eye on the

Cantina

[Music]

I tell you not to come to the canteen

and you come anyway but where can I go

go home to avocado and where to

Chihuahua any place where they stay but

not here what if Corporal Gonzales of

the rally should see you I cannot stay

long enough and I cannot run away if the

Wallace do not find me those Gringos

will

those green goose are gone Manuel

all we wanted was to talk to Manuel I

guess you heard us asking about you

Manuel I heard everything then you know

we're here because of your mother but

that ain't why we're here Manuel

get the Fat Boy's gun and see if he's

got a knife

away from that gun all right let's go

where are we going not far enough to

carry out

[Applause]

my visit to the river rallies paid off

from Corporal Gonzalez I learned that

Manuel had worked for a local Merchant

named Leif Seabury who was found stabbed

to death on the morning after Manuel

disappeared

the Corporal was positive that Manuel

had committed the crime especially when

it was discovered the sea Berry had been

robbed to 300 pesos

are you sure you saw Manuel with the

knife just before the man closed the

store for the night she's in your

custody when I step into the store

Manuel was holding a knife which he

wanted to buy it had a carved bone

handle and a fine Blade with engraving

all over it and you found the knife

later no no no no no knife no pesos no

Manuel all gone well then somebody else

could have done it with another knife

then why Manuel ran away oh well he's

running away doesn't necessarily prove

that he's guilty

possible Senor if you want to you can

search for him but if you find him you

tell me Yesenia I sure will Fortis

Rogers

[Music]

those Gringos came back they took away

him and Manuel then Manuel was here oh

please send your try to find him in the

Hills up there I'll see what I can do

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

thank you

for a moment it looked to red as if he

and Manuel had come to the end of the

trail then Andrews caught sight of me

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

thank you

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

thank you

[Applause]

foreign

[Music]

was badly scared and stubbornly refused

to talk

tried to appeal to his Devotion to his

mother there was no goal

I decided in the time it would take to

get him back to Rio Hermosa he might

calm down enough to answer questions

[Music]

thank you

what happened to you we had to run in

with some guy from Over the Border

but what the front man will but they

wrap them too who's they hurry up and

get this shoulder fixed would you take

it easy a couple of Americans did they

get him I don't know last we saw him he

was hightailment for the Hills

and you didn't go after him listen that

hombre can put a bullet in a centavo at

50 yards besides Andy hears in pretty

bad shape take a look

ah that ain't so bad but losing the

Mexican is you two would listen to me

this wouldn't have happened I wanted to

put a bullet in him right away but no

now we're chasing around to like a bunch

of scared coyotes and for what a lousy

300 pesos what do you mean 300 pesos

with a thousand pesos reward for the

capture of the Killer dead or alive all

we had to do was to knock him off take

him to the rallies and collect so Tom

and wild gets to the rallies first

when Blackie gets you fixed up him and

meal ride out and find men well and when

we do we won't waste any time

you know you're not helping yourself by

withholding the facts Manuel I have the

effects in your Cassidy I entered the

place a few minutes before they closed

for the night Soledad had the knife in

his hand yeah yeah yeah we know all

about that the knife had a bone handle

and was engraved on the blade but did

you see Manuel stab him what more do I

need Senora I was there

he had the knife in his hand I saw it

the man was stabbed to death and robbed

of 300 pesos

you cannot speak or

it should be coward to fight for your

help even a worm tries to crawl out of

the hand come and see this right man

well I want to help you but you must

tell the truth about what happened

Papi thinks you're innocent that's why I

brought you back so you could prove it

I did not believe it when you told me

this in your Cassidy

I made a mistake I think

I can understand and I can't say that I

blame you

so talk

this is a waste of time

this is what happened at the store the

truth amigo Manuel recounted the story

of what happened on the night Leif

Seabury was murdered

after Corporal Gonzalez had left Manuel

was about to vote the front door when

pointer and the Andrews pushed their way

in and demanded the money out of the

strong box

the day's receipts 300 pesos

when Seabury did not move rapidly enough

Poynter seized the knife would still lay

on the counter and stabbed him to death

fearing for his life Manuel tried to

slip out to run to the ruralities for

help

pointer however caught him and wanted to

kill him on the spot but Andrews

insisted they take him along with them

and where'd they take you to the ranch

of Diablo why did they take you along to

make Corporal Gonzalez think he ran away

because he was guilty

and you escape from this Ranch I heard

the one they called blocky say there is

a reward of a thousand pesos dead or

alive

I was afraid they would kill me and

deliver my body to the royales

so I ran away I did not know which way

to turn so I came here to The Cantina

and where's the knife

the knife the strong box everything is

there at the Rancho Diablo

we better take a ride out there I agree

with you Senor Cassidy but first I think

I better lock up Soledad in the carousel

you know a bird in the hand yeah if you

don't mind right now go ahead you come

out as soon as you can she's in Europe

and don't worry you won't be in jail

alone

a more dilapidated rundown outfit than

the Rancho Diablo we had never seen

only one horse was in evidence and his

manual had told us that only the three

men were hiding out there Fred and I

assumed we had to reckon with the man

whom I had wounded earlier in the day

I invested in some land for you where

they're going to dig an irrigation ditch

that land is going to go Sky High and

you'll be rich

that sounds like another one of those

hair brained ideas

you're the worst doubting Thomas you're

just waiting to see for yourself I'm

gonna see for myself right now and

you're coming along come on I'm right

behind you I was going to tickle me pink

to see you change your mind yeah

red is the greatest sidekick a man ever

had but in his efforts to be helpful he

can get himself in the deals a

Philadelphia lawyer couldn't straighten

out

[Music]

hello

how are things going we've been busy oh

that's music to my ears my partner yes

Mr Rivers is inside

everything all right listen when I take

care of anything I do it right slim

sticking the telegram or the bank now

excellent excellent by the time that

hick Banker learns the truth we'll have

a pile and be far far away I feel that

this is going to be more productive than

our last ever this Mayo says you were

busy while I was gone that's right just

cast your eyes on that 100 acres one

thousand dollars hop along Cassidy what

have I heard that name before the

Cassidy's local bigwig being able to say

he's one of our buyers or sell more land

and all the high pressure salesmanship

we could use good what's he look like I

don't know his Man red con has made the

deal for him that Connors is a dumb

squirrel if I ever saw one

what a difference that make to us we've

got Cassidy's money and his name on a

contract

yeah thank you very much

yeah help yourself

you better wait over there

how do you do Miss how do you do

I'd like to talk to someone about this

land deal oh come right in

[Music]

a gentleman to see you

how do you do sir how do you do sir

I'd like to find out about this land you

gentlemen are selling try to tell you

the whole story my friend my name is

rivers and this is Mr Dale my associate

how do you live then have a seat thank

you I feel sure that that you feel like

making a substantial investment

providing we can show you how you can

make 500 profit in six months before we

go into that I'd like to hear your

proposition well I used the greatest

opportunity offered the smart

businessman like yourself west of the

Mississippi

and let me tell you something my friend

hop along Cassidy about some of the land

is that so

well this is beginning to sound very

interesting

I'll give you the facts my friend you

can draw your own conclusion

Rivers glibly explained that they had

obtained titles of thousands of Acres of

government land

land on which only Sagebrush and

Mesquite now grew but which would soon

become a fertile Valley a virtual

Promised Land

according to Dale the engineer this was

to be brought about by digging an

enormous irrigation ditch from Archer's

Canyon 50 miles away

the longer their sales talk continued

the more I was convinced my fears were

well founded red had bought worthless

land for my hard-earned money

what worried me most was knowing that

these high pressure confidence Men were

using my name to sell unsuspecting

friends

and now that you realize what a great

opportunity this is how much would you

like to invest I'm afraid you'd jump to

the wrong conclusion how so I didn't say

I wanted to invest in your proposition

you couldn't be making any mistake no

Serena take off along Cassidy for

instance

what about half a long Cassidy he has

invested one thousand dollars he

realizes What a fine opportunity it is

you know him of course oh yes of course

I'm half a long Cassidy

well I I certainly am happy to meet you

Mr Cassidy since you're an investor and

you know exactly what we're trying to do

you'll be glad to lend your support that

depends on what I see

you say you're digging an irrigation

ditch oh yes yes we're working on it

right now where east of town

I think I'll ride out and have a look at

that uh that's a quick little trip Mr

Cassidy oh that's all right I need the

exercise I will I'll write out with you

I have to go out there anyway just give

me a moment to leave these papers with

our secretary Miss mail sure

Wireless please

[Applause]

well goodbye sir no no no no sit down

we'll have a little chat no I think

we've had quite a chat you will excuse

me please

[Music]

doesn't know anything about oblong

Cassidy I'll say we do he's the sheriff

of this County and a bad hombre detangle

the ditch

let him look boys are out there

no you better take a run out I want him

to look busy when we get there sure I'll

make it look good

[Music]

when Dale and I left the office I

wondered what had become a red who was

supposed to have waited for me outside

I hoped he wasn't buying more land

Dale began to offer excuses why the work

we were about to see hadn't progressed

farther pending a bank loan which they

were negotiating today they had only

begun a preliminary survey

from now on work would progress at full

speed

I could tell he was uneasy he seemed to

sense I knew what he was up to

[Music]

boss is bringing somebody up get busy

[Music]

okay

[Music]

hold it

foreign

explained what he had seen and it

sounded more like an excuse than an

accusation slim alibidi had seen red

acting suspicious and had gone after him

to find out why

they are raged because the surveyors

slept when they should have been hard at

work

[Music]

from what I had seen I knew that the

surveyors were fully set up I could tell

too that red was beginning to realize he

had made a bad investment

you guys been doing I expect you to be

another mile up the line see you later

right

we headed back toward Twin Rivers

[Music]

or keep on your toes

[Music]

you wait out here I'll be out in a

minute

I am a side oh what can I do for you Mr

Cassidy it's uh rivers and Dale borrow

some money from your bank

I'm sorry but that's personal business I

realize that but I'm asking as the

sheriff

in that case yes

they borrowed five thousand dollars to

start digging the irrigation ditch but

it was well secured by what

they deposited a check for fifteen

thousand on a Chicago Bank of course we

only took the check for collection but

this morning we got back a telegram

saying that it had cleared mm-hmm

uh may I see the telegram yes

why should they wire instead of sending

the money in the usual way I asked them

to rivers and Dale needed the loan as

soon as I received confirmation I

deposited the money to their account

I see well thank you very much Mr Todd

glad to accommodate anytime

frankly I'm worried about Cassidy nosing

around the way he's doing we can clean

up 15 maybe 20 000 in a couple of weeks

but we've got to get him off our necks

he gets in our way it'll be his tough

luck yeah

by the way what you do with that fella

you were waiting for this morning we

left him what right there sure like I'm

surprised Frank that's dangerous you

know that now you better send the boys

out right away and dispose of him okay

it'll make you feel any easier

as red and I headed toward the bar 20. I

kept thinking about that telegram from

the Chicago Bank

maybe it was because we had just passed

the spot where the road Cuts over the

hills to Braxton where the telegraph

office is located

anyhow I couldn't understand why rivers

and Theo were in such a hurry they

couldn't wait for their check to clear

in the usual way

I decided to forget then

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

the man had been shot through the head

he looked Vaguely Familiar

we began to look for identification

[Music]

[Music]

but get me covered

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

laughs

[Music]

the body had been identified as that of

Joe Benson the telegraph operator from

bruxton he left a wife and four kids who

would now be the real victims of the

brutal killing

I figured the murder had to tie in with

the telegram in Chicago to the Twin

Rivers Bank I asked red to ride to

bruxton and find out more about that

Telegram

he couldn't get back before dark so I

told him to meet me outside the office

of rivers and Dale

[Music]

while waiting for red to return from

Braxton I searched the office of rivers

and Dale I didn't know what it was I

hoped to find but there had to be

something

[Music]

there were two bank deposit books on St

Louis Banks and under the names of

Riverton and Lindale

somewhere in the office I knew there

must be a list of others who had put

their hard-earned money into the swindle

[Music]

put up your hands Mr Cassidy

Mayo I have found myself in less

embarrassing situations if the subject

isn't too painful maybe you'll explain

why you broke in here I'll be glad to

discuss the whole messy business with

you if you'll handle that no we'll talk

as we are

may I put my hands down no

what is it

now we can discuss this a little more

comfortably

now what do you know about this land

development company only what passes

across my desk

oh that they're selling land they don't

own to put in an irrigation they

have no intentions of digging are they

aren't they

but this whole thing smacks of grand

larceny you seem quite sure of that of

that and other things including murder

murder that's right

I feel pretty sure you're not involved

so you won't mind answering a few

questions about rivers and Dale with you

even if I

will my employer's confidence is

I was pretty sure that would be your

answer

yes

you in here but it didn't see you

Barton cashier gosh hoppy I'm sorry I

all right at least we can save some of

our friends from being cheated

secretary go last night oh she's only an

employee red she probably doesn't even

wouldn't be too sure about that you know

how women are no how are women oh like

hello Miss Mayo

well from what this paper says I can't

say that I blame you for trying to get

back the money that rivers and Dale

swindled from you and your friends

there's one thing that's bothering me

why didn't you cooperate with me from

the very beginning I got panicky I

didn't think it's a trouble

they did they'd be careful what kind of

schemes they put their hard-earned

dollars into isn't that the truth well

it's all here looks like the folks will

get back most of the money they invested

oh that's fine

well young lady you're free to go home

have your Sheriff get in touch with me

and I'll send the bank books to him and

he can go about Distributing the money

thanks ever so much I can never repay

you you're very welcome bye

get over there with this without finding

another scheme to invest in or should I

let Mr Todd take it over oh happy
