until we get the orders from the COO of

this Sport and

tendon hey you fellas can go right I

stop El will watch things

no and second thought stay here and

watch the wagon until I get

back

Sorita oh this cannot be one so young

and beautiful car in a thing so

heavy it's empty well I haven't filled

it yet but it's very heavy when it's

full nothing is too heavy for eloro the

B I get the water for you

you're a stranger to for Mojave aren't

you looks like you've traveled a long

way see you bet K Carson and I have

traveled all the way from Santa Fe Santa

Fe see you're bet again right now we're

on a highly important mission for

General Fremont at this moment K garon

is reporting to the commandant of this

fort we did all we could to keep our

mission in military secrecy nevertheless

rumors got here ahead of you that you

were escorting an army payroll from

Santa Fe to the military base at San

Pedro oh in that case I'll have to put

in a request for military escort the

rest of the journey it won't be

necessary Carson I have made other

arrangements you sent for us sir I did

Lieutenant I wanted you and Mr taggard

present while I showed Mr Carson the

approximate route of a new shortcut

across the desert a shortcut surprised

huh take a

look instead of going around an area

roughly equivalent to 4,000 square miles

it is now possible to go direct from

Port Mojave to Joshua Wells dropping 3

days from the the time usually spent in

travel four previous attempts have been

made to find a shortcut across that area

three of the parties and have been heard

from again how about the water no plenty

of water I know of two natural springs

and a water hole well would you show us

on this map the exact route of the

shortcut well I could but I won't why

not well because I intend to get paid

for guiding parties across that stretch

and if every soldier in desert WRA knew

the way I'd be looking for another job

oh I see your point tagen well being

that taget won't show us the exact route

across that uh desert uh perhaps you you

could give us some further proof that a

shortcut actually does exist why don't

you show him that proof

[Applause]

major take a look at

this front page of a Los Angeles

newspaper notice the date it was

printed September

15th why today is only the 18th exactly

if that newspaper had to travel here by

the regular route we wouldn't be getting

it till Day After Tomorrow is that proof

enough for you Carson

it's in black and white I've got to

believe

it that will be all

man for you sen th would do anything it

even go to the president of this United

EST if that is a way to get permission

if you sure you can arrange it I'll tell

grandfather than a s strap look here

comes K Caron now all I got to do is ask

him

s you stay right here I fix up

everything all the water is leaking out

while we're talking never mind I'll be

back and get you some

more yeah K senorita I just met has to

get her grandfather to a hospital in Los

Angeles so I told her I'd ask you to let

them travel with us we're not going any

further west on this Mission what do you

mean kid we're taking that you shipment

to San Pedro as soon as we get some rest

we're going to Santa

Fe you're making a joke I'm not joking

Toro the major just used his authority

to relieve me of all further

responsibility in connection with this

Mission uh

seor I would speak with you well would

you use your influences with the major

for a very worthy call seor what are you

talking about well tomorrow you got a

party to Los Angeles ver would you ask

the major to tell the lieutenant in

charge to make room for one more wagon

it's important in order to save an old

man's life that's none of my business

you better ask him yourself well I

already did but he said

no hey

kid kid you my friend well you know that

why do you ask you're the best friend

the fell ever got oh wait a minute hold

on what are you leading up to K you got

to get the commandant of this fort to

let this sen and her poor grandfather I

was telling you about travel with taget

in the morning I know that's right the

answer is no why not Toro I traveled

every inch of this country you know that

supposing they get lost what happens to

the girl in the grandfather in that case

you you could be wrong you're not the

only guide in the world anyway go ahead

don't ask the Comm and don't do me no

favors just be so sure you're right that

maybe a poor old man get so sick that he

die

you again El Toro that's El Toro now

grandfather he's making the arrangements

to get you to the hospital in Los

Angeles yes come in

Sally come in out Toro grandfather wants

to thank you for everything you doing

it's nothing and you have no idea how

much truth there is when I say nothing

you're entirely too modest come

in come in come in make yourself to home

my friend El Toro this is my

grandfather just call me Trader bill for

short I was one of the first settlers to

drive a wagon Over the Rockies I've been

trading ever since I was knee high now

the medical officer said you were to

keep real quiet grandfather will need

all his strength for the trip won't he

oh sure s to the trip maybe he shouldn't

take the trip on pH is better no

according to that young medical whipper

snapper I won't be feeling any better

only worse but the doctors in Los

Angeles can patch up your leg and maybe

save it who will drive the wagon when

you go well I will do you have to go

with that detail tomorrow why don't you

take the old trail yourselves and leave

tonight I can't risk being robbed of my

life savings I got almost $22,000 in

cash in this way now it serves you right

the doctor said you weren't to talk so

much grandfather must rest now but

you'll be sure to tell me when we're to

get ready to go won't

senorita not many men for a pero wagon

would attract the wrong kind of

attention H you act like you still don't

event in the newspaper that tager showed

on the 5th not the 15th tagget had us

all fo there's no shortcut across that

area then he was lying he hoped to gain

the entire payroll of the United States

Army you said yourself that news had

leaked out 2 weeks in advance of our

coming through son of a Pista that new

good out figure he lose everybody on the

desert and Rob them at his own

convenience kid what are we waiting for

the senorita and her grandfather what do

we do Carson my boys are out after a Pou

raiding party we'll try to pick up their

Trail

[Music]

l

[Music]

[Music]

what bad luck if it wasn't for this dog

on Sandy stor we might have caught up

with him before dark I'm worried what

the storm is going to do to the trail

they leave behind them say that's right

maybe by daylight there won't be any

Trail I I hope the senorita and her

grandpaa are more comfortable in their

[Music]

wagon a certain man went down from

Jerusalem to Jericho he fell among

Thieves which stripped him of his

reignment wounded him and departed

leaving him half dead

St

Luke 10 verse 30 that's right

grandfather but a certain Samaritan as

he journeyed came where he was and when

he saw him he had compassion on him

verse

33 the story of the Good Samaritan

that's right you better get some sleep

grandfather Yeah that Good Samaritan

fell back at the Fort you mean Al Toro

and Kit Carson he really did us a good

turn burn but it's not exactly the same

we haven't fallen among Thieves like the

man in the

Bible how you getting along in here

thought I'd see if everybody was

comfortable comfortable as can be

expected I guess do you think the storm

will let up by morning yeah I think it

any

now you men ride on ahead and find a

good place for the Ambush when I see

be easier than shooting fish in a barrel

worry about that Lieutenant I'll take

care of him you just concentrate on

getting rid of those soldiers what about

the girl and that old man they won't

give us any

that I can see the lighter side is the

top it's been exposed to the sun and the

rain for a long time every trip with you

just find another Stone that's been

overturned we can draw an imaginary line

between the two that way we can tell

which way the wagons were going when
