[Music]

it what's happened another killing who

was

come

per G I want you to take a

message write it in the form of a notice

and send a copy to every name listed

here the time has come for us to band

together and fight for the peace and

security of our

home under present conditions we have no

alternative to take the law into our own

hands therefore call upon each of you to

appear tomorrow night at 8:00 at Twin

Oak come on sign David Ross head of the

Vigilante committee did you get

that I got it now listen Dave you can't

get away with this why I thought you'd

given up this vigilante idea you know

you can't make your own laws Vigilantes

are going to enforce the law our sign

those when they're

finished Dave's going FW with this crazy

vigilante idea if chasing killers and

murderers out of the community is a

crazy idea then I'm willing to be traced

as your attorney let me point out that

you taking the Law into your own hands

you're making yourself legally

responsible for an illegal

act I wouldn't sign those if I were

you I'll risk

it

I'm not discounting your danger men I

know that we've got a tough height on

our hands but wouldn't it be worthwhile

to see Trails End cleaned up a decent

place to live in you wouldn't get a very

good view of it from the cemetery he's

right it would be suicide for us to try

to Buck that mob there ain't enough of

us to do the job we'd be outnumbered 3

to one I know that we're outnumbered

but I'm expecting help who do you

mean hello

boy they hope we ain't late you're just

in time the committee thinks we haven't

a chance against that bunch in town

they're plenty tough tough they no

tougher than a lot we've tackled well

what's your plan plan we don't need any

plan ride into town and start shooting

and keep on shooting until the last

man's run out what do you say

boys wait a minute

boys you might be able to lick him with

that plan but happy you won't be here to

celebrate the

victory I think the right way to do it

is to plan a surprise attack here's how

we go about

[Music]

it

where you land as you com how do you

know I se him over the ring they're

right behind

me V is are coming barricade the doors

and get your

[Music]

tortures all right man you know what to

[Music]

[Music]

busy

[Music]

drop your guns and don't turn around

drop your guns all of

[Music]

you

your kind isn't wanted in Trails then we

gave you a chance to leave peaceably but

you wouldn't take it just a minute I'm a

stranger here I dropped in for a moment

mess that's true I haven't seen you

before if you have nothing against me

I'd like to stay in

town all right you may remain get them

out that Bunch crosses the county line

our work will be over the Vigilantes

back that money you Lo us all right then

I'll see you in the morning and thanks

[Music]

[Music]

get your hands in the

air

playing with doll well uh see he's not

mine lullabi is Elmer's

town long no we'll be heading back for

the ranch as soon as we get some

supplies thanks again Dave call on me

anytime if I can help you we'll call on

you even if you can't help us you uh

you've been working here

long I bet Dave's a great guy to work

for isn't he mhm but old poker puss

McAllister he must be a pain in the neck

well if that old crab ever laughed he'd

crack his

face Jean come

here yes

Father

Max's daughter he like it why didn't

somebody tell me why didn't you ask

thought you said Stony was a lady's name

turn that thing off all right father old

sour foot come on let's get out of

here hi boys hi fell hi

s but I thought Rossa disbanded his

Vigilant she did this is a new outfit

we're just borrowing his idea and making

it pay

dividends who's aheading this new outfit

I can't tell you his name but he's one

of the biggest men in this County and

plenty smart I could use a little extra

do how us

in with our cut in the profits we can

retire in a year's time sounds all right

when are you getting started we're

holding our first meeting tonight I'll

be

there give him the

RO from now on you'll be known as number

17 you've all been through the same

ceremony so we will not now close the

meeting by taking our oath of Allegiance

which will be given to us by our leader

number

[Music]

one do you solemnly swear to

unquestioningly obey all orders issued

by Me Your

Leader I

do

remember once you have been initiated

into the purple

Vigilantes there is no turning back only

death can release you to all of this you

solemnly

swear

[Music]

[Music]

I

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

looks as all my vigilante idea is

proving a

Boomerang we try to Stamp Out crime and

only succeed in showing criminals a new

way to break the law yeah a smart way to

cover up their tracks by Shifting the

blame to the original Vigilantes that

you

organized this was found outside of

bassam's

place this is one of the notices I sent

out 6 weeks ago that's what I figured it

looks as though some of your original

outfit was mixed up with this Bunch any

idea who they are not the slightest I

could have sworn that every man I picked

was trustworthy yeah maybe

so Dave a lot of people are feeling

pretty bitter against you some of them

believe that you're still heading to

Vigilantes might be a good idea if you

left town for a little

while I'm not in the habit of running

away from trouble Jim but what's the

same of waiting for it to catch up with

you you're imagining

things minute wait a minute what's the

meaning of all this a little present for

your partner Dave Ross and the rest of

his purple killers and tell him the next

time it won't be Windows we'll break i'

have a law on you for

this imagination eh if I ran away I'd be

admitting my guilt but Dave what's the

sense of sticking your chin out why

don't you take a little trip no I'm

going to stay and get at the bottom of

it thanks for the advice

Jim hello remember me

why of course I do you're the little boy

who plays with

dolls lady you never said a truer

word L's on

Stony come on over here boys you too

lullabi I'll see you later you

too Dave stays here somebody with a

grudge is going to get him well what can

we do well I thought you might talk to

him

the only way you get him out of town be

to kidnap him yeah or arrest

him there's an idea he'd be safe in jail

wouldn't he not in this jail well

couldn't you take him to the county seat

sure if there was a charge against him

well that ought to be easy Dave Ross is

head of the purple Vigilantes

fine let's make it good while we're at

it Sheriff I saw Dave Ross killed three

defenseless men and robbed their widows

how's

that hold on Sheriff you sure there

won't be any Kickback not a chance I

don't intend to file this complaint all

I want to do is get Dave out of

town sign

it Ry

Tracy I'm taking Ross over to the county

seat right you'll be in charge here

until I get back yes

sir

hello Jim

boys Musketeers have wish you to

complain against you Ross I'll have to

take you over to the county

seat so you're in on the plot to get me

out of town too be sensible Dave your

life isn't worth a plug nickel around

these parts just go along with the

sheriff and give us a chance to clear

things up

he hasn't any choice in the matter I've

got enough on Dave to hang him a fine

thing when your best friends frame you

I'll tell

M oh

M I'm your

prisoner

[Music]

[Music]

w

[Music]

D keep your head man you I you see who

fired the shot I didn't have to see it

was was and hanging ain't good enough

for him see your

gun hasn't been fired and one of his

hard Killers did

it yeah one of his sneaking vigilante

shot him

that complaint isn't on the level Tracy

just a minute well that's just an excuse

to get Ross out of town looks to me like

it establishes a motive wait a minute

you got to give us a chance to explain

you can do your explaining in C Ross you

under

arrest

you realize of course the most damaging

evidence against Dave is your complaint

we didn't explain all that I expect you

to on the witness stand I'm going to

call each of you to testify regarding

your interview with Sheriff Dyer you

know Drake I have an idea that

somebody's in back of all this it wants

Ross out of the way and badly if we only

knew the reason why we'd have plenty to

work on I hope you boys realize that

we're depending on your testimony to

clear Dave at the trial tomorrow now

don't fail us

we'll be there

good well see you in the morning a good

night good night good

night well I've got a date I'll see you

fellas later nothing doing you're coming

with us we got to start for court early

in the

morning I want some breakfast what a man

he's always hungry we'll eat when we get

the town before court opens

look let's get him no we haven't time we

got to be in court by 10 this may be the

only means of saving Dave we can make

it we got to be in

[Music]

court

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

let

Mr St

attorney is it true Mr McAllister that

you were present when David R called a

meeting of the Vigilantes why uh answer

yes or no well

yes is this David Ross

signature yes it it is thank you Mr

McAllister that's

all what's that rer truce I reckon I've

had enough yeah maybe and then again

maybe it's a trick we better not take

any

[Music]

chances

[Music]

oh oh oh I Reon this PO light boys are

you bad hurt l oh

oh take it easy boys it may be a

trap hey look

horse

gentleman of the jury have you agreed

upon a

verdict is this case one of the most

reprehensible that I've ever tried the

crimes that you inspired did not cease

with your capture to the contrary they

have

increased your unfortunately loyal

followers have continued their raids

believing that they would terrorize this

court into releasing it it proed to them

that their reprisals and warnings under

the i sentence you to be

hanged hey Jim is the trial over yeah

the son over for Ros too he was found

guiled don't give up hope Dave

Dave we heard about it outside if you'd

been on hand to testif the verdict might

have been different we were lucky to get

here at all we were ambushed well now

that we are here isn't there something

we can do I'm afraid not it's too

late I know you did your best

boy can't we appeal the case that's what

I intend to do without your

help

[Music]

it's as plain as day that somebody's

really framing rods those notes are all

phony we know

that we only had more time yeah three

more days until the execution we haven't

uncovered a thing

I'm going over and see

[Music]

Drake

[Music]

St BR I'll

[Music]

shoot

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

hey what happened here s

bro say why didn't you beat it when you

had a chance thought I'd wait and have a

little talk with you you're one of the

Musketeers aren't you if you wanted to

have a little talk with a plan tag I'd

better introduce myself my name is Joan

I represent the Cooperative Insurance

Company don't tell me this is a new way

to sell insurance investigation at my

line I wanted to have a little talk with

one of you boys private like because I

think we're all working to the same

objective I don't get it Ross and

McAllister are Partners my company holds

an insurance policy that pays $100,000

to the surviving partner and from the

looks of things Ross isn't going to

survive very

long you don't mean that mac oh no he

couldn't be a man will do a lot for a

100,000 and from what I saw of the books

when you so rudely interrupted I know

the firm is in serious Financial Straits

here this will hold you until you get

back to town thanks I haven't any

definite proof that mallister is the man

but I expect of the information I need

real soon well it better be real soon if

we expect to sa Ross I'll get word to

you as quick as I can we'd better not be

seen together

right

he is your dad in yes he's in his

office

thanks yes that's

all say listen did you ever hear of

knocking I'd like to talk to you

melister

alone we'll go over this later yes all

right

well is it true that you benefit by

Dave's death to the tune of $100,000

why uh I

uh what are you talking about oh just a

little matter of an insurance policy

payable to the surviving partner theyy

listen here you insignificant young

puppy are you trying to insinuate I'm

not insinuating anything I'm trying to

get at the facts facts why you and your

bungling pals wouldn't know a fact if it

jumped up in your laps now wait a minute

we happen to know that Ross was framed

oh I see and you accuse me of framing

him eh we're not accusing anyone yet and

now you listen to me young man a lot of

people figure that you three frame Dave

first with your affidavit then failing

to show up when your testimony might

have saved you now I advise you not to

go around trying to implicate innocent

people that is if you know what's good

for you now get

out you're not just stupid and

Headstrong

you're cont

temptable what you need is a swift kick

and a pants and a musle walk into his

office and deliberately tip your mint no

I just wanted to give him a chance to

clear things up can't believe that Ma's

guilty all right so I made a mistake

forget it now listen I've got an idea

that will work yeah like the last one

if we could just get our hands on one of

those Vigilantes and make him talk what

do you think we've been doing the last 3

weeks nitt oh listen muscle bound this

idea is Sure Fire now come on I'll tell

you all about

it now what do he meant by hey look

what's

[Applause]

coming

[Music]

hold it folks we'll handle him in a

regular way first we'll make him answer

questions get out of

out what think he's got I can't make it

out we better get the boys together
