00:00:01,202 --> 00:00:02,670
(dramatic music)
2
00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:04,138
- [Narrator] It was
the discovery of gold
3
00:00:04,138 --> 00:00:06,006
that really opened up the West.
4
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,076
The hope of finding a
fortune in the ground
5
00:00:08,076 --> 00:00:10,411
brought thousands of
people to California.
6
00:00:10,411 --> 00:00:13,314
They endured the grinding
trek from east to west
7
00:00:13,314 --> 00:00:15,416
through frequently
hostile country,
8
00:00:15,416 --> 00:00:18,852
or dared the hazardous
voyage around Cape Horn.
9
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:21,021
And though only a
handful ever had anything
10
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:22,490
to show for their efforts
11
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:25,393
the dream of striking
it rich remained alive.
12
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,762
It was their stubborn belief
in this dream that made them
13
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:31,132
easy marks for the
swindlers and bunco artists.
14
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:34,535
- [Troy] Just one moment sir,
what's the meaning of this?
15
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:35,769
- Get down off there.
16
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:37,004
- What do you mean
get down off of here?
17
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:38,072
- Your name is Troy
Selby isn't it?
18
00:00:38,072 --> 00:00:39,307
- It is.
- Well come on along.
19
00:00:39,307 --> 00:00:40,508
You can talk later.
20
00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:42,076
(Troy blusters)
Go ahead.
21
00:00:42,076 --> 00:00:43,444
I'll take these.
22
00:00:43,444 --> 00:00:45,413
- Just one moment sir! I...
23
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:48,149
(dramatic music)
24
00:00:50,351 --> 00:00:54,588
* California, California
25
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:56,857
- [Narrator] The Californians.
26
00:00:56,857 --> 00:00:58,192
* California
27
00:00:58,192 --> 00:01:00,494
* I've come to live
where life is best *
28
00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:02,463
* In the golden west
29
00:01:02,463 --> 00:01:07,468
* I'm going to strike
it rich in California *
30
00:01:08,102 --> 00:01:10,338
* California
31
00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:14,808
(gentle music)
32
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:15,643
- Afternoon Jeremy.
33
00:01:15,643 --> 00:01:17,511
- Afternoon Marshall.
34
00:01:17,511 --> 00:01:19,747
Mrs. Selby informed me of
your high-handed treatment
35
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,215
of her husband this morning.
36
00:01:21,215 --> 00:01:22,950
You had no grounds
for an arrest.
37
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,852
I demand his immediate release.
38
00:01:24,852 --> 00:01:26,520
- You represent the Selbys?
39
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,322
- I think that's clear.
40
00:01:28,322 --> 00:01:29,790
- It isn't clear at all.
41
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:31,492
Do you know these
people are swindlers?
42
00:01:31,492 --> 00:01:32,926
- How dare you! Mr. Pitt-
43
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,695
- Matt, if you had bothered
to question Mr. Selby
44
00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:36,330
before pulling him in
like a common thief
45
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:37,865
you would have learned
that he had the authority
46
00:01:37,865 --> 00:01:41,068
from the attorney general of
California to sell that stock.
47
00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:42,536
- Why didn't he tell me this?
48
00:01:42,536 --> 00:01:44,372
- Did you give him a chance
to tell you anything?
49
00:01:44,372 --> 00:01:45,539
Just because there've been a few
50
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:47,107
stock swindlers in the past.
51
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:48,676
- A few?
52
00:01:48,676 --> 00:01:50,911
- Yes. It doesn't mean that
every promoter is dishonest.
53
00:01:50,911 --> 00:01:52,112
Now release my client.
54
00:01:58,386 --> 00:02:01,589
- Really, the indignity of it-
- Now calm down Mrs. Selby.
55
00:02:01,589 --> 00:02:03,157
Everything is all right now.
56
00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:07,828
- Are you all right, dear.
- Ravinia my dear.
57
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:09,230
Pitt, I appreciate
what you've done.
58
00:02:09,230 --> 00:02:10,831
- No trouble. I'm your lawyer.
59
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:13,033
Oh, by the way, you
know you may have a case
60
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:15,102
against the Marshall
for false arrest.
61
00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:16,404
Do you want me to
start an action?
62
00:02:16,404 --> 00:02:17,905
- No, I don't think so.
63
00:02:17,905 --> 00:02:20,741
I'm sure the Marshall believed
he was only doing his duty.
64
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:22,643
- Mr. Selby if your mine
is such a sure thing.
65
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:25,145
- Oh, I didn't say
that Mr. Wayne.
66
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:27,781
The indications are that
it can become a very
67
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:30,784
profitable investment,
but I am neither so naive
68
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,853
nor deceitful as to go
around telling people
69
00:02:32,853 --> 00:02:35,122
that it's a sure
thing, as you call it.
70
00:02:35,122 --> 00:02:36,424
- All right. But
you think it is.
71
00:02:36,424 --> 00:02:38,426
And if all it takes
is money to develop it
72
00:02:38,426 --> 00:02:40,228
you don't have to sell stock.
73
00:02:40,228 --> 00:02:42,496
There are plenty of wealthy
men right here in San Francisco
74
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:44,998
who'd grab a chance to
finance the whole operation.
75
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:48,202
- Yes, wind up in
control. Oh no.
76
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:50,304
Several such gentlemen
have already approached me
77
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:51,872
but I have no desire to end up
78
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:53,774
with the bankers owning my mine.
79
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:56,143
- Sound, business reasoning.
80
00:02:56,143 --> 00:02:57,945
- I think I'll attend
your meeting tonight?
81
00:02:57,945 --> 00:03:00,113
- Good. Very good.
82
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:01,482
Ravinia.
83
00:03:01,482 --> 00:03:04,151
(pensive music)
84
00:03:10,658 --> 00:03:11,492
- Take over.
85
00:03:14,395 --> 00:03:15,929
Matt, I've been waiting for you.
86
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:18,432
- You look as though
you broke your own bank.
87
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:20,534
- No, but just as good.
Come on, sit down.
88
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:25,439
Remember last year when
I bet Johnson and Lyman
89
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:26,740
in that silver mine.
90
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:28,376
- I remember you risked $25,000
91
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:30,411
to make a profit of about five.
92
00:03:30,411 --> 00:03:31,679
- It was four.
93
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:33,981
Anyway, I met Troy
Selby and his wife
94
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:35,749
and they have a
fabulous gold mine.
95
00:03:35,749 --> 00:03:37,184
- Who?
- The Selbys.
96
00:03:37,184 --> 00:03:39,119
Really the nicest people
that you can meet.
97
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:42,089
And they're letting me
in on the whole thing.
98
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:43,391
- Letting you in huh?
99
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:47,227
- Now, get that superior
look off your face.
100
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,730
This is a chance to really
strike it rich, Matt.
101
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:52,733
And this time I'm
going all the way.
102
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,034
- Good luck.
103
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:55,336
It's your money.
104
00:03:55,336 --> 00:03:57,037
- I've mortgaged
the Eldorado Club.
105
00:03:58,071 --> 00:03:59,840
- What? Mortgaged?
106
00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:02,943
For stock in a gold mine?
107
00:04:02,943 --> 00:04:04,878
- $38,000 worth.
108
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:08,782
And just as soon as they
raise another $112,000
109
00:04:08,782 --> 00:04:10,584
they're going to start
mining operations.
110
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,653
Oh, Matt, you ought
to get in on this.
111
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:13,654
- Now just a minute.
112
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:17,691
When I sold you this club
for $1, I had faint hopes
113
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:20,894
that in my old age, you
might sell it back for two.
114
00:04:20,894 --> 00:04:22,663
And now you have
sunk it all in stock
115
00:04:22,663 --> 00:04:24,932
for a gold mine that
isn't even in operation.
116
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:27,801
- But it will be as soon as
they sell the rest of the stock.
117
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:29,903
- How much is the rest?
118
00:04:29,903 --> 00:04:32,506
- I told you, $112,000.
119
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:34,908
Oh Matt, this is a sure thing.
120
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:36,977
- Yeah, sure thing.
121
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:39,813
With only $112,000 to raise.
122
00:04:41,248 --> 00:04:44,117
- And I assure you we will
use the most up-to-date
123
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,620
mining equipment money can buy.
124
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,657
Now are there any questions
you'd care to ask?
125
00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:50,858
- If it's such a good mine
126
00:04:50,858 --> 00:04:53,026
why was it abandoned
three years ago?
127
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:54,662
- Well, the
Four-leaf Clover Mine
128
00:04:54,662 --> 00:04:56,497
was abandoned by
its former owner,
129
00:04:56,497 --> 00:04:59,933
simply because he failed to
recognize certain features.
130
00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:01,369
I did.
131
00:05:01,369 --> 00:05:04,672
And the present tunnel was
extended only a few feet further
132
00:05:04,672 --> 00:05:07,307
to reveal the richness
of the ore samples
133
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,710
I have shown you
here this evening.
134
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:10,911
- Could have bought that stuff
135
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:12,980
from a rock dealer,
an assay office.
136
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:14,648
- You don't even believe
what you see, do you?
137
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,617
- Mr. Selby.
- Yes, sir.
138
00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:19,186
- A few of us been wondering
if you got any objection
139
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:21,555
to, well, a sort of committee
140
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,458
making a personal inspection
of this here mine.
141
00:05:24,458 --> 00:05:28,061
- I would welcome
it sir. Please do.
142
00:05:28,061 --> 00:05:29,229
And then you can come back
143
00:05:29,229 --> 00:05:31,298
and make your own
reports to these people.
144
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:35,068
Anyone is free to investigate
the Four-leaf Clover Mine.
145
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:36,604
- Have you seen it?
146
00:05:36,604 --> 00:05:37,805
- I've seen those ore samples.
147
00:05:37,805 --> 00:05:39,272
That's good enough for me.
148
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:40,741
- Richest I ever saw.
149
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:43,411
- Probably the most expensive
you ever paid to see too.
150
00:05:44,412 --> 00:05:46,113
- He's so stubborn!
151
00:05:46,113 --> 00:05:48,382
- And now Mrs.
Selby will tell you
152
00:05:48,382 --> 00:05:50,984
how you may share
in our good fortune.
153
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:55,222
As with most husbands, I leave
business matters to my wife.
154
00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:57,558
(audience laughs)
155
00:05:57,558 --> 00:05:59,893
- As you know, the attorney
general of this state
156
00:05:59,893 --> 00:06:03,931
has authorized us to sell
stock at $10 per share.
157
00:06:03,931 --> 00:06:06,400
Now you may buy only
one share if you choose.
158
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,570
And for those of you who wish
to purchase stock tonight
159
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:11,572
I'll be at this
table to serve you.
160
00:06:11,572 --> 00:06:13,273
Thank you.
- Thank you, my dear.
161
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:25,185
- There's your chance to
make some money, Matt.
162
00:06:25,185 --> 00:06:26,720
- Don't tell me you
have some of this.
163
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,590
- Oh, I took a fair amount as
a fee for representing them.
164
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:31,925
- You must enjoy
working for nothing.
165
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:33,694
- You must enjoy
letting opportunity
166
00:06:33,694 --> 00:06:34,895
slip through your fingers.
167
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:36,530
Are you against getting rich?
168
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:37,465
- No.
169
00:06:37,465 --> 00:06:38,398
- Then why don't you go up there
170
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:39,332
and buy some of that stock?
171
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:41,435
- I'm the suspicious type.
172
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:43,504
But since he extended
a general invitation
173
00:06:43,504 --> 00:06:45,606
I'm going to take a
look at his gold mine.
174
00:06:47,174 --> 00:06:49,843
(pensive music)
175
00:07:07,961 --> 00:07:08,796
Hello!
176
00:07:08,796 --> 00:07:09,630
(voice echoes)
177
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:11,098
Anybody in there?
178
00:07:11,098 --> 00:07:13,701
(voice echoes)
179
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,382
(bell ringing)
180
00:07:29,382 --> 00:07:30,217
- Come in.
181
00:07:32,986 --> 00:07:35,288
- Good evening Mr. Pitt.
- Oh, hi Matt.
182
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:38,592
What's the book for? Directions
on how to use a shotgun?
183
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:39,827
- Where's your client?
184
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,695
- Well, the law business
is not exactly booming
185
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,463
but I do have more
than one client.
186
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:44,732
- Troy Selby.
187
00:07:44,732 --> 00:07:46,099
- Oh, he's at the
ward hall tonight.
188
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,701
Most of the stock has been sold.
189
00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:50,070
So I imagine this is the
last of the regular meetings.
190
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:52,072
- I guarantee that.
191
00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:54,074
Would you like to come
along and see me show him up
192
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,509
for the fraud he really is?
193
00:07:55,509 --> 00:07:57,144
- Matt, I'm warning you.
194
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:58,245
- I've got proof.
195
00:07:58,245 --> 00:08:00,380
- You better have, in spades.
196
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:03,083
- I have. In gold spades.
197
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,853
(dramatic music)
198
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,923
- So, like I said, the
five of us that went out
199
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:11,659
and seen the mine are
more than satisfied
200
00:08:11,659 --> 00:08:13,661
there's gold to be had there.
201
00:08:13,661 --> 00:08:14,895
Them nuggets we showed you
202
00:08:14,895 --> 00:08:17,565
that we dug from that
tunnel, prove that.
203
00:08:17,565 --> 00:08:20,668
- Thank you, Luke.
Thank you very much.
204
00:08:20,668 --> 00:08:21,602
And now-
205
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:23,203
- I too had a look at that mine.
206
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:27,107
Any objection to my
reporting what I found?
207
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:28,609
- Why, of course not Mr. Wayne.
208
00:08:28,609 --> 00:08:30,177
- All right, Mr. Selby, I
wonder if I could borrow
209
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:33,180
that geologists report you
quote from so frequently.
210
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:33,981
- Certainly.
211
00:08:36,483 --> 00:08:37,985
- Thank you.
212
00:08:37,985 --> 00:08:41,989
Now, Mr. Pitt, will you
compare paragraph two, page 92
213
00:08:41,989 --> 00:08:44,091
of the book with this report.
214
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,197
- The book and the report
match word for word.
215
00:08:51,298 --> 00:08:53,266
What about this, Mr. Selby?
216
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:54,668
- May I see the book please?
217
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:01,742
- The geologist I engaged
to examine the mine
218
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:03,777
might well have referred
to this textbook
219
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,412
when preparing his report to me.
220
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:06,880
- Maybe.
221
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,349
Well that's a whale of a
coincidence don't you think?
222
00:09:09,349 --> 00:09:10,884
- Oh I don't know.
223
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:13,854
The geologist I engaged
is a Mr. EW Green,
224
00:09:13,854 --> 00:09:16,123
who is also the
author of this book.
225
00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:17,557
Now I think it's highly logical
226
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,326
that he might've
referred to his own work
227
00:09:19,326 --> 00:09:21,561
when choosing the words
for his report to me.
228
00:09:22,763 --> 00:09:25,365
- Do you people know
how a mine is salted
229
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:26,934
to make it appear rich?
230
00:09:26,934 --> 00:09:28,836
- I've seen a few salted claims
231
00:09:28,836 --> 00:09:30,871
with dust and nuggets
sprinkled around,
232
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:32,606
but let me tell you
something, Marshall.
233
00:09:32,606 --> 00:09:35,776
We had to dig them sample
nuggets out of the tunnel wall
234
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:37,310
at the Four Leaf Clover Mine.
235
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,846
Pry 'em out.
236
00:09:38,846 --> 00:09:40,981
- I know that Luke, but if
you people will be patient
237
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:43,416
with me, I think I've
got the answer to that.
238
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,886
(crowd murmuring)
239
00:09:45,886 --> 00:09:47,087
- What's Mr. Wayne up to?
240
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,521
- Mr. Pitt, you're our lawyer,
241
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:50,590
why do you let him
persecute us this way?
242
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:53,260
- I'm against anyone being
persecuted, Mrs Selby
243
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,562
and against anyone
being swindled too.
244
00:09:57,765 --> 00:10:00,433
- Right in this chair'd be good.
245
00:10:09,209 --> 00:10:10,043
Thanks.
246
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:15,548
Now ladies and gentlemen,
these nuggets were cut
247
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:20,153
from $5 gold pieces
and then melted.
248
00:10:21,088 --> 00:10:22,622
Now, could I have that shotgun?
249
00:10:24,024 --> 00:10:27,761
The next step is, thank
you, the nuggets are dropped
250
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:32,766
down the barrel of this
loaded shotgun, like that.
251
00:10:34,201 --> 00:10:38,471
And then when fired into a rock
or the wall of a mine tunnel
252
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:42,509
you have nice rich ore
to show the suckers.
253
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:44,077
Stand back man.
254
00:10:44,077 --> 00:10:48,515
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
soft rock, but watch yourself.
255
00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:53,486
(gunshot bangs)
(crowd murmurs)
256
00:10:56,890 --> 00:11:00,994
Now, these nuggets will
have to be dug out too Luke.
257
00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:04,297
And unless I miss my guess,
ladies and gentlemen,
258
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:07,801
this is exactly how Mr
Selby salted his mine.
259
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:10,938
- That's a very serious
charge Marshall.
260
00:11:10,938 --> 00:11:13,506
You will all please be
witnesses to his remarks.
261
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:16,509
- When I dug this nugget out
of the Four Leaf Clover tunnel
262
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,712
I knew exactly where
it had to come from.
263
00:11:18,712 --> 00:11:20,714
I wouldn't have known if Mr.
Selby had been a little more
264
00:11:20,714 --> 00:11:23,150
careful how he melted
down his coins,
265
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:27,420
because this nugget still has
the date stamped on it, 1854.
266
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:35,896
- What about it Selby?
267
00:11:35,896 --> 00:11:39,166
- The Marshall says he took
that nugget from my mine.
268
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:40,600
Was anyone with you
at the time Marshall?
269
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,469
Do you have any
witnesses who saw you
270
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:44,704
dig that nugget out of there?
271
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:46,740
But there were five of
you who took nuggets
272
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:49,676
out of the mine,
five of you together,
273
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,479
each able to testify
as to what you found,
274
00:11:52,479 --> 00:11:55,682
either confirm or deny
the richness of the ore.
275
00:11:55,682 --> 00:11:56,817
- That's right.
276
00:11:56,817 --> 00:11:58,585
- Just a minute, Mr. Selby.
277
00:11:58,585 --> 00:12:01,955
One thing I do know about
Matt Wayne, he isn't a liar.
278
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:04,124
- There's one thing we
both know about Mr. Wayne.
279
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:06,659
He's been doing his very
best to discredit me.
280
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:08,261
- Because I'm convinced
that you're taking
281
00:12:08,261 --> 00:12:11,198
these people's life savings
and giving nothing in return
282
00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:13,266
but stock certificates
that aren't worth
283
00:12:13,266 --> 00:12:14,701
the paper they're printed on.
284
00:12:15,803 --> 00:12:17,771
- Ladies and gentlemen,
if the Marshall's
285
00:12:17,771 --> 00:12:21,308
cheap demonstration here tonight
has caused any one of you
286
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:23,911
to doubt the honesty of
this project or the wisdom
287
00:12:23,911 --> 00:12:26,579
of investing in it then
please, I beg of you,
288
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:29,082
step forward and
surrender your stock.
289
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:32,285
And I'll refund every
dollar you've invested.
290
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,287
- Marshall, I don't know or care
291
00:12:34,287 --> 00:12:36,489
why you've got such a
grudge against this man.
292
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:39,292
But far as I'm concerned,
I am buying more shares.
293
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:40,560
That's how I stand.
294
00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:44,631
(crowd murmuring)
295
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,034
- When am I gonna
learn that the law man
296
00:12:47,034 --> 00:12:48,969
hasn't been born yet
who can defend people
297
00:12:48,969 --> 00:12:51,038
against their own stupidity.
298
00:12:51,038 --> 00:12:52,705
(somber music)
299
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:55,608
(knocking on door)
300
00:12:57,811 --> 00:13:00,347
- Well, well Mr. Pitt.
301
00:13:00,347 --> 00:13:01,181
- Going somewhere?
302
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:04,717
- Well, the shares are all sold,
303
00:13:04,717 --> 00:13:07,754
due mainly to the Marshall's
efforts last evening.
304
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,823
- Where are you planning to go?
305
00:13:09,823 --> 00:13:12,926
- Oh, just a little vacation,
you know, just until we can go
306
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,895
up to the mine and get
things started up there.
307
00:13:14,895 --> 00:13:16,596
- Well, Mr. Selby, I think
you better get started
308
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:17,998
at the mine first
before you start
309
00:13:17,998 --> 00:13:20,233
to think of taking a vacation.
310
00:13:20,233 --> 00:13:21,601
- Oh, we've worked very hard.
311
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:23,871
We're entitled to a little rest.
312
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:25,305
- Well just sleep
a few extra hours
313
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:26,706
in the morning at the mine.
314
00:13:26,706 --> 00:13:28,909
- That sounds like
an order Mr. Pitt.
315
00:13:28,909 --> 00:13:32,880
- I'm your attorney,
Mr. Selby, it's advice.
316
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,713
Good day.
317
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:45,258
- Nobody! Nobody,
not Pitt nor Wayne
318
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:46,759
nor anybody tells me what to do.
319
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,795
Get on with your packing.
We're gonna get out of here.
320
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:52,232
- Troy, the Marshall's
across the street.
321
00:13:54,234 --> 00:13:55,468
I'd say they're making sure
322
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,537
we don't go anywhere
but to the mine.
323
00:13:58,771 --> 00:14:01,174
- All right. They want
us to go to the mine.
324
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:03,376
That's exactly where we'll go.
325
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:04,677
- What?
326
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:06,246
- Isn't it worth $10,000 to keep
327
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:08,381
out of the California prison?
328
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:10,150
- What do you mean?
329
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:12,519
- I never said how much
work I'd do up there.
330
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,188
So I'll spend
10,000, maybe less.
331
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:18,125
We'll go through the motions
of trying to develop that mine.
332
00:14:18,125 --> 00:14:21,394
Then when it doesn't pay
off, nobody can blame us.
333
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:24,097
- Now that's not going
to fool Wayne or Pitt.
334
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,602
- I'll invite them up to the
mine to pay us a little visit.
335
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:30,870
Just to see how
things are going,
336
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,239
you know, in a week or two.
337
00:14:34,307 --> 00:14:37,911
Ravinia, I'm going to arrange
it so Marshall Matt Wayne
338
00:14:37,911 --> 00:14:40,513
never bothers anybody again.
339
00:14:40,513 --> 00:14:42,449
I'm going to get
rid of him for good.
340
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:43,650
(dramatic music)
341
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:45,618
Come on finish your packing.
342
00:14:48,922 --> 00:14:51,824
(foreboding music)
343
00:15:21,188 --> 00:15:22,022
- Salem.
344
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:25,758
Where are you going?
345
00:15:26,994 --> 00:15:28,795
- Gotta get some
more spikes ma'am.
346
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:30,397
- I'll get them for
you, where are they?
347
00:15:30,397 --> 00:15:31,931
- They're over by
the toolbox, I'll-
348
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,400
- I said I'll get them.
349
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,702
Now you stay and help
Mr. Weaver inside there.
350
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:48,515
Did you get it done?
351
00:15:48,515 --> 00:15:49,716
- All ready to light.
352
00:15:49,716 --> 00:15:51,018
- It took you long enough.
353
00:15:51,018 --> 00:15:52,252
These workmen must
think I'm a fool
354
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:54,121
not letting them run
their own errands.
355
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:56,156
I'm sure Salem
suspects something.
356
00:15:56,156 --> 00:15:59,326
- He hasn't got enough
sense to suspect anything.
357
00:15:59,326 --> 00:16:00,727
- They want some more spikes.
358
00:16:02,262 --> 00:16:05,999
(foreboding music continues)
359
00:16:18,278 --> 00:16:20,213
- It looks like things
are really underway.
360
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:22,115
Better than when you saw it huh?
361
00:16:22,115 --> 00:16:22,949
- A little.
362
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,656
- Hello, Mr. Pitt.
- Well hello.
363
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:32,859
- Marshall Wayne.
364
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:36,063
- Where's Mr. Selby, Ma'am?
365
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:36,896
- Troy!
366
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:42,902
- Well, well, well, delighted
to see you, Mr. Pitt.
367
00:16:42,902 --> 00:16:45,872
- How do?
- And even you Marshall Wayne.
368
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:47,540
Thank you for coming up.
369
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:49,176
- Got any ore out
of that mine yet?
370
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:50,443
- Not yet. Not yet.
371
00:16:50,443 --> 00:16:52,179
We have to brace up the
shorings in there first
372
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:53,980
so it'll be safe to work.
373
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:55,982
How about some lunch?
I expect you could eat.
374
00:16:55,982 --> 00:16:57,817
- Well, it was a long ride.
375
00:16:57,817 --> 00:16:59,619
I think we could manage.
376
00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:00,953
- Good. We'll show you
around after lunch,
377
00:17:00,953 --> 00:17:02,722
you can wash up
right over there.
378
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:03,656
- All right.
379
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:04,857
- I'll just help Ravinia.
380
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:09,062
(ominous music)
381
00:17:09,062 --> 00:17:10,763
- How many men have you
got working here Selby?
382
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:12,565
I counted only one.
383
00:17:12,565 --> 00:17:13,800
- Oh, you mean old Salem
384
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,602
busting out those
sluice bottoms.
385
00:17:15,602 --> 00:17:16,669
I have one other.
386
00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:18,471
- A total of two?
387
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:22,175
- Well, Marshall, labor
is rather difficult
to find up here.
388
00:17:22,175 --> 00:17:24,577
And aside from that, until
we get this tunnel braced
389
00:17:24,577 --> 00:17:27,214
there's no work for more
than two, plus myself.
390
00:17:27,214 --> 00:17:28,748
- Say what's that
hammering in there?
391
00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:30,650
- Oh, that's Weaver,
the other working man.
392
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:32,885
He's putting in those
shoring timbers.
393
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:35,655
Well, Mr. Pitt, you want to
see what you own stock in?
394
00:17:35,655 --> 00:17:38,758
- I sure do. I've never
been in a mine before.
395
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:39,592
- Gentlemen.
396
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:48,034
Well Weaver. This is Mr.
Pitt and Marshall Wayne.
397
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:48,868
- Hi.
- Hello.
398
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:49,836
Any gold here?
399
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:51,037
- There might be a few flakes
400
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:52,572
but I think the stock
holders committee
401
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:55,375
and you Marshall Wayne dug
out all of what's in view.
402
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:59,011
Weaver those nails
don't look very strong.
403
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:01,648
- They're spikes. Same
as I've been a using.
404
00:18:01,648 --> 00:18:03,383
- Well I brought back
some much heavier ones
405
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:05,152
the last time I was in town,
I'll go get them for you.
406
00:18:05,152 --> 00:18:06,986
Excuse me, gentlemen.
407
00:18:06,986 --> 00:18:09,556
- Say Weaver, worked many mines?
408
00:18:09,556 --> 00:18:11,991
- On and off. Yeah.
409
00:18:11,991 --> 00:18:13,092
- Well what do you
think of this one?
410
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:14,761
Think she'll pay off.
411
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:15,962
- No.
412
00:18:15,962 --> 00:18:17,364
- Why do you say that?
413
00:18:17,364 --> 00:18:19,732
- I know two different
fellows tried to make her pay
414
00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:21,301
but she just ain't
got good enough ore
415
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:22,869
in her to bother with.
416
00:18:22,869 --> 00:18:25,405
Whatever she did have was
took out a long time ago.
417
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,342
- Take these spikes into Weaver.
418
00:18:29,342 --> 00:18:30,977
- He used up the
other keg already?
419
00:18:30,977 --> 00:18:32,479
- Just take them
in there, will ya.
420
00:18:32,479 --> 00:18:33,313
- Yeah.
421
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:42,222
- Are they still in the mine?
422
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:44,491
- Another two minutes and all
four of them will be in there.
423
00:18:44,491 --> 00:18:45,425
- Troy!
424
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,059
- We can't afford any witnesses.
425
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:48,561
Now you know the plan.
426
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:50,830
After the accident you ride
for help to dig 'em out.
427
00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:53,300
Now there's not a thing to
worry about it, it's foolproof.
428
00:18:57,437 --> 00:18:58,671
- But what about the nuggets
429
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:00,307
that people found in
here a few weeks ago?
430
00:19:00,307 --> 00:19:01,974
Dug them right out
of these walls.
431
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,876
- Properly salted
in with a shotgun.
432
00:19:06,012 --> 00:19:08,781
- If you're thinking of
saying "I told you so."
433
00:19:08,781 --> 00:19:11,784
- I am thinking of Wilma and
how much money I stand to lose.
434
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,455
- Selby told me to bring
you these here spikes.
435
00:19:16,923 --> 00:19:19,726
- He's plumb loco. That's the
same kind as I've been using.
436
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:22,895
- Selby's got an awful
lot of explaining to do.
437
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:24,397
Maybe he didn't lie,
438
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:25,865
but he didn't tell us the
whole truth about this mine.
439
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:27,800
And that's just as bad as lying.
440
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,137
- Has Selby tried to hire
any more men to work here?
441
00:19:31,137 --> 00:19:33,473
- Don't think so. He
hired us together.
442
00:19:33,473 --> 00:19:36,943
Said he only needed us for
about two or three weeks.
443
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:39,312
- Only two or three weeks.
444
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:41,981
(ominous music)
445
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:56,363
- Hey Selby, I want
to talk to you.
446
00:19:56,363 --> 00:19:59,198
(explosion booms)
447
00:20:02,402 --> 00:20:04,103
(tense music)
448
00:20:04,103 --> 00:20:04,937
- Get my rifle.
449
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:23,990
- What happened?
450
00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:30,029
Drop it.
- Shoot from there.
451
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:32,365
- Drop it before I blow
your husband's head off.
452
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,535
All right over there Selby.
453
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,108
- It was Salem did it.
454
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,344
He's been trying to get
rid of us all along.
455
00:20:44,344 --> 00:20:46,379
- Both of you grab some shovels
and start clearing that out.
456
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:47,179
Come on!
457
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:55,722
Start clearing those
rocks away. Matt!
458
00:20:57,857 --> 00:20:58,958
Matt!
459
00:20:58,958 --> 00:21:01,861
(suspenseful music)
460
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,766
(Matt groans)
461
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:28,588
(man groans)
462
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:42,335
- Hang on. Somebody'll
dig us out.
463
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:53,680
- Matt can you hear me?
- Hurry up.
464
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,114
- Come on. Clear it out.
465
00:21:56,349 --> 00:21:58,351
Hang on Matt. We'll
get you out of here.
466
00:21:58,351 --> 00:22:01,020
(dramatic music)
467
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:05,858
- Go get our horses.
I'll finish him off.
468
00:22:05,858 --> 00:22:07,660
- [Ravinia] Troy!
469
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:11,498
(suspenseful music continues)
470
00:22:19,906 --> 00:22:21,307
- We heard a big
explosion a while back.
471
00:22:21,307 --> 00:22:22,375
What happened?
472
00:22:22,375 --> 00:22:24,243
(Ravinia sobs)
473
00:22:24,243 --> 00:22:26,646
Hey this looks like that
lawyer fellow Mr. Pitt.
474
00:22:28,981 --> 00:22:30,450
You keep an eye on
them until we find out
475
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,118
just what's going
on around here.
476
00:22:36,423 --> 00:22:37,957
- Did they get away, the Selbys?
477
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:40,560
- Nope. What happened Mr. Pitt?
478
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,495
(Pitt groans)
479
00:22:42,495 --> 00:22:45,264
(rocks crashing)
480
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:52,739
(mysterious music)
481
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:57,677
(Matt laughing)
482
00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:02,682
- What's so funny, Mister.
483
00:23:02,682 --> 00:23:04,050
- Look at that gold vein.
484
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:08,254
That's a load if I ever saw one.
485
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:13,493
The man who could have had all
of it, will get none of it.
486
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:16,763
If get out of here.
He's gonna hang.
487
00:23:18,465 --> 00:23:21,200
(dramatic music)
488
00:23:24,471 --> 00:23:27,507
- $2 cigars, all the
champagne I want.
489
00:23:27,507 --> 00:23:28,708
I'm telling you this gold strike
490
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:31,343
is really changing my world.
491
00:23:31,343 --> 00:23:33,980
- And it's going to add a few
inches to your bay window too.
492
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:36,282
(Matt laughs)
493
00:23:36,282 --> 00:23:37,584
Cheers.
494
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:39,051
You know it's your fault
that I didn't even buy
495
00:23:39,051 --> 00:23:41,420
more shares in the Four
Leaf Clover mine than I did.
496
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:43,823
- Oh yes, well have you consider
that if Selby hadn't tried
497
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:47,093
to kill me and you got me
out of that mine in time,
498
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:48,327
neither of you would know
499
00:23:48,327 --> 00:23:50,262
how much that mine
is really worth.
500
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:51,698
- Well, that's true. So what?
501
00:23:52,999 --> 00:23:54,467
- So why don't your
consciences bother you enough
502
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,268
to cut me into a
little of that swag.
503
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,370
- Well Matt, the way I see
it you're not now enjoying
504
00:23:58,370 --> 00:24:00,172
the profits that are
coming to Wilma and me,
505
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:02,308
because you have a
suspicious nature.
506
00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:04,076
- And I'm terribly
fond of you, Matt,
507
00:24:04,076 --> 00:24:06,579
but when it comes to money...
508
00:24:06,579 --> 00:24:08,247
- Couple of real friends.
509
00:24:08,247 --> 00:24:09,682
- Cheers Marshall Wayne,
510
00:24:09,682 --> 00:24:12,318
next time don't have
a suspicious nature.
511
00:24:12,318 --> 00:24:14,253
Just be a little naive. It pays.
512
00:24:16,889 --> 00:24:18,891
* California
513
00:24:18,891 --> 00:24:21,260
* Oh I've traveled here,
I've traveled there *
514
00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:23,395
* I guess I've been
most everywhere *
515
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:27,667
* But I like where I am today
and here is where I'll stay *
516
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:29,769
* Now, one thing that
I just can't abhor *
517
00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:31,971
* Is being broke
and being poor *
518
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:34,040
* So I come west
and stay secure *
519
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,843
* And here is where I'll stay
520
00:24:36,843 --> 00:24:41,581
* I've come to
California, California *
521
00:24:41,581 --> 00:24:45,317
* There's gold in them
