Original subtitles

All right, boys, get the herd moving.

I hate to see you go, Hoppy,

but I guess your mind is made up.

I know, Buck.

I've been talking about going to New York for a long time.

Thinking after I got these cattle loaded,

there wouldn't be much doing.

It would be a good time for me to make the trip.

Gee, Hoppy, I don't see why I can't go.

You're staying right here with Windy.

I kind of figure a new boss might do you some good.

Oh, but Hoppy, if I...

Oh, there you go, ain't you learned yet, when Hoppy

says something, he means it?

Heard you're going to New York.

Yep.

Couldn't let you go without saying goodbye, Hoppy.

It was mighty nice of you to come over.

Have a good time.

I will.

Hurry back, because we're sure going to miss you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, boys.

So long, Buck.

So long, Hoppy.

Bye, Hoppy.

Sure hate to see Hoppy go without us, Windy.

Well, you don't hear cheering none, do you?

Come on, let's head back to the ranch.

Not me.

I'm going into town.

I've got a little forgetting to do.

You heard what Hoppy said.

I'm the boss.

You better steer clear of town.

Besides, you heared what Buck said.

He don't want his men getting in no fights.

Well, maybe a little excitement wouldn't go bad right now.

Yeah, maybe it wouldn't, right now!

Oh, hello, Frazier.

Hello. Did you look over those last samples of ore

that Slade brought in?

Just finished.

It runs over $600 to the ton.

I had an idea it was high grade.

This seems to be my lucky day.

I'm getting all the breaks.

What do you mean?

Cassidy pulled out this morning, heading for new range

for good.

I'll bet 10 to one the Freeze Out Mine

has a new owner inside of a month.

You figure out everything, don't you, Perkins?

Tell Slade that I'm expecting him

to see that an accident happens to Dennis,

and the sooner the better.

How did it happen?

Got careless.

I told him to be careful when he was

working around that dead end.

Piece of timber fell on him.

That's the third man that's died down here in a week.

I'm beginning to think the place is jinxed.

Me, too.

And if it weren't that folks might think I was yellow,

I'd quit right now, and I'd tell all the boys

they'd better do the same thing.

Can't say I'd blame you much.

Lead with your left, Lucky.

You ain't going to win no fights leading with your right.

Braden, call off your miners.

What's the matter, Peters?

My men playing a little too rough for your cowboys?

If your men can't take care of themselves,

why don't you keep them out of town?

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Lucky!

I've asked you men not to come into town.

Now I'm ordering you to stay out.

From now on, any man that wants to keep on working for me,

has got to stay out of this town.

Now get back to the ranch.

If Hoppy was along, I'll bet we would have

licked Frazier and his gang.

I don't know why he had to go traipsing off anyhow.

Well, I bet he had a darn good reason.

If you'd done like I told you

and hadn't led with your right,

you wouldn't have got that black eye.

Yeah well, what did you lead with?

Ah.

Here's where we hit that pay streak, isn't it, Slade?

Yes, Mr. Dennis.

It held up and improved until we

started out working the new tunnel,

then fell off completely.

That happens sometimes.

You think you've got a vein of good ore and it pinches out.

Well, I suppose there's nothing left to do

but suspend work while I locate that vein again.

I hate to do it, but tell the men.

Yes, Mr. Dennis.

It's the boss.

He's dead.

All right, let's get him out of here.

Somebody's got to tell his wife.

I didn't want to bring the matter up

at a time like, Mrs. Dennis, but I knew the circumstances.

I knew your husband was running short of cash.

I appreciate your tact, but I have no intention

of selling the mine.

To be frank with you, I don't see how you could possibly

develop the Freeze Out Mine without it costing you

a lot more than it's worth.

However, I think I could do to handle both of them

without much added expense or trouble.

Thanks, Mr. Frazier, but I'm not interested in selling.

That mine was Denny's dream.

I only thought that you would want

to carry out your husband's plans

and make your home in the East.

I'll move East

when I'm satisfied that the Freeze Out

is on a paying basis again.

Well, I wish you luck.

I hope you succeed.

I will, Mr. Frazier.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mrs. Dennis.

I hear they had another accident

in the Freeze Out Mine today.

Looks like that to be a good place to stay out of.

Yeah.

I feel kind of sorry for Mrs. Dennis,

trying to run it all alone.

Did you see that, son?

Yeah, accidents will happen.

I'm just wondering if they was all accidents.

Where you going?

Town.

I got an idea Miss Ann needs my help.

You know what the boss said.

If he catches you in town, it's going to cost you your job.

Listen, Lucky, if it were Hoppy, and somebody needed him,

he wouldn't wait to find out what it was going to cost.

Wait a minute.

I'm going with you.

Very kind of both of you, but what help can you be?

You men know nothing about mining.

Why, Miss Ann, I have forgotten

more about mining than most

men around here will ever know.

I'll get you miners

if I have to round them up with a six gun.

It's more than that, Windy.

I'm not satisfied with the findings of the inquest.

I'm sure Dennis's death wasn't accidental.

If you leave it to me, I'll find out.

Oh, you couldn't find out what day it was

if you had a handful of calendars.

I wish Hoppy was here.

I bet he'd straighten this thing out in a jig time.

Wouldn't take long to get a letter to him.

I couldn't expect Hoppy to do favors for me.

If you think you can't, Miss Ann, you don't know

him like I thought you did.

I can't ask him to come back, Windy.

She's sure in a mess, all right.

Just because she's too proud to call on the one

man who could help her.

Well, we can do the calling for her.

I'm going to write Hoppy a letter as soon

as we get back to the ranch.

Can you write?

You don't think I went to school a whole year

for nothing, do you?

Yeah, but can anybody read your writing?

Anybody but you, you windbag.

Say on second thought, I don't think I

should write Hoppy that letter.

Heh, afraid even he can't read it, huh?

Ain't that.

Probably wouldn't reach him in time

before he left the shipping post.

Well, one of us got to go after him.

Whoa.

Yeah well, it might as well be me. See you later, Windy.

Heh, young whippersnapper.

Oh, Lucky.

Sure glad I caught you.

What's the matter?

Dennis has been killed.

Dennis?

Looks like murder.

I better go back.

I knew you'd see things that way.

Oh, never mind flagging it down.

I can't go.

Lucky, bring my bags, huh?

Get back inside, Slade.

I don't want Cassidy to see you with me.

Wonder what he's doing back in town?

I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet two to one

he's not here to help us.

I don't like the looks of it.

But it's too late to back out now, we're in too deep.

But I've got an idea that I can figure

just as fast as Mr. Cassidy.

We'll let him make the first move.

Let him think he's got things his own way.

Then when the right time comes,

I'll take care of Mr. Cassidy if I have to.

Now go on and tell me the rest of the story.

You know I'll do anything I can to help you.

I haven't any right to ask you to get mixed up

in my troubles.

You have got every right in the world, Ann.

You know how I felt about Denny.

Now come on, tell me.

Well, things were going on fine.

It looked at as if the pay streak

would develop into something really worthwhile.

It did.

We were going to East to live.

He went down to the mine

to see why the ore was dropping off.

A timber fell on him, so they said.

But I don't believe it.

Somebody is trying to get that property.

There's a mine right next to yours, isn't there?

Why yes.

The Devil May Care Mine.

Who owns that?

Frazier.

You know anything about him?

No, except that he's always been

rather nice as far as I know.

Did, uh, did he ever try to buy the mine,

since Denny, I mean since the accident?

Well, yes.

He said it wasn't worth anything,

but if a few hundred dollars would help me, he'd,

Hoppy, you don't think he...

I don't know what to think.

The first thing we got to do is find out what

happened to that pay streak.

If that's still there, it will tell us a lot.

You're not going to try working that mine yourself?

It's the only way we can find out anything.

But more men are liable to die down there.

Maybe you.

Nobody goes till his time comes.

Besides, folks have always said I don't kill easy.

I'm going to go see Buck Peters.

Mind if I ride with you?

I don't know any better company.

Wait a minute and I'll change.

Lucky's contraption's a cross

between swimming in the creek

and fetching a pail of water.

Hey, what's the idea of getting so clean?

Just get dirty again.

Aint' you ever heard that cleanliness

is next to godliness?

Oh, that's on Sunday.

No, that's every day.

Well, anyway you're cleanly.

That's better than being neither.

You're darn tootin'.

Oh, close your trap, you young whippersnapper.

Buck, the only thing I'm asking is will you and the boys

back me up when I need you?

Hoppy, I'm a cattle man.

I don't want nothing to do with miners or mining.

Besides, I'm aiming to steer clear of any trouble

that don't concern me.

You got a right to feel that way.

No, I've got no argument with you there.

But thanks for listening anyhow.

Hey, you ain't aiming to go through

with this thing by yourself, are you, Hoppy?

Dennis was a friend of mine.

Well, all right.

But I'm just a dang, soft hearted idiot

for giving in to you.

Darn your hide, you always did have a way of making

me see things your way.

You mean you'll help me out?

Yeah, I reckon it amounts to that.

Ah, thanks a lot, Buck.

I suppose as long as I'm going to back you up,

might just as well feed you too.

Come on in, get yourself a bite to eat.

I'll join you in a minute. I want to speak to Windy.

All right.

Well, hello, Windy.

Hey.

I wanted to thank you for getting Mr. Cassidy.

Ah, it weren't me, Miss Ann.

It was Lucky.

But, hey, if you want to thank him, I'll fetch you to him.

He's just around the corner.

Please do, Windy.

I want to see him.

Lady, I'd be tickled to death.

Hey, Jim, seen Lucky around here anywhere?

Yeah, saw him over there in the barrel.

In a barrel?

Yeah.

I wonder why.

Let's see.

Yeah, a little water wouldn't hurt any of you fellas.

Go away, Windy!

There's a lady to see you, Lucky.

Go away, Windy.

First time I ever seed him scared of a woman.

Go away, Windy.

Oh, what's the matter?

I guess he must be stuck in the barrel.

Maybe I ought to bust it open.

Go away, I'm taking a shower.

Well, I'll wait out in front.

Please go away, Windy.

Come on, Lucky.

The lady wants to see you.

Yeah, well I don't want to see her.

Go away.

Oh, all right.

Hey!

Do a good job now.

That's a dirty trick.

Cassidy's at the Freeze Out,

getting a bunch of miners together.

What's he up to?

Figuring on opening the mine.

Well, get up there quick and keep an eye on him,

if you have to go to work digging rock yourself.

I got you.

I asked you men to come up here

to find out how many of you

are willing to go back to work.

Ain't none of us working for our health.

Nobody is asking you to.

I just bought into this mine and I'll

guarantee that every man that goes in there

gets paid for it.

Looks like you're throwing good money after bad, Mister.

Maybe so.

But I still got an idea

there's pay dirt in that mine.

Even if there is, I ain't hankering

to go down there no more.

The place is jinxed, I tell you.

Man takes his life in his hands every time

he goes into that mine.

You men don't look like you scare easy.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Well, if none of you got nerve enough

to go in there with me,

it looks like I'll have to work on myself.

Ain't nobody going to back me down, Mister.

If you're willing to go into that mine,

I am too, as long as I get paid for it.

Me too.

I heard what you said, Mr. Cassidy.

As long as you're going to work the mine,

I'm willing to string along with you if I

have to swing a pick myself.

I can be a big help to you.

I was foreman here and I know the whole layout.

And besides, if there's anything I can do

to help the little lady that owns the place,

I'd be glad to do it.

Thanks, Mr...

Slade.

I'll be glad to have a foreman like you around, Slade.

Get the boys started.

All right, boys.

All that want to work, check in.

If I were you, I'd keep the men working right

in this part of the tunnel.

There's a might looking rock around here.

Thanks, I'll do that.

That's fine.

All right, you men, keep busy just where you are.

You sure know your work.

Ought to, been mining all my life.

You know, I'm mighty lucky to have men like you

around me, you and Slade.

He seems to know what he's doing.

Guess he knows his job all right.

Say, uh, was he the foreman down here when

they was following that rich vein of ore?

Yeah.

Was you one of the men working for him?

No, Slade had trouble with that bunch.

Fired them all.

Accused them of high grade.

Come on, get a move on.

We got to get a load out.

Hey, Slade.

I'm thinking we ought to have a nightwatchman around here.

I'm going into town so I'll pick up somebody.

You needn't bother, Mr. Cassidy.

If you think we need a nightwatchman, I've got just the man.

You think you can trust him?

I wouldn't have him around here if I couldn't.

All right.

Go ahead and hire him.

Meantime, keep the boys busy.

See you later.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Hoppy.

Got a job for you two.

- Trouble brewing? - We're ready.

There's going to be a watchman

at the Freeze Out Mine tonight.

I want you to invite him out to the ranch

for a little visit.

You might have to invite him real hard.

Mean I'm supposed to ride herd on him.

That's it exactly.

And you've got to keep him from talking.

How about me? You ain't going to leave me out of this.

Not on your life, old timer.

I'm saving you for the most important job.

You're going to take the night watchman's place.

Oh, it's all right.

Now, you'll be right in the middle of all the excitement.

Well, whatever it is, you can depend on me.

What's the play?

Well, the first thing we've got to do

is get this guy out to the ranch.

Then tomorrow, I want you come up to the Freeze Out, see?

And meet a fellow up there by the name of Slade.

So you're sure Cassidy isn't wise

to what we've been doing?

Of course.

He even let me put Martin on as nightwatchman.

That was a smart idea.

And I'm putting a night gang to work every night from now

on instead of once a week.

And it's up to you to see that nobody gets wise.

How much we got in the kitty now, Perkins?

Over 15,000.

Ah, that's piker money.

We're gonna have 50,000 in the pot this time next month.

50,000?

Hurry up.

Get back your jobs.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi, Jay.

Hi.

Hi, Slade.

Hi, Pierce.

Everything's clear.

All right.

Say, would Cassidy like to lay his eyes on you.

Ah, shut up.

See you tomorrow night.

Night, Evan.

Are you sure Martin knows about giving us the signal?

Yeah, leave it to him.

Good night.

Good night.

Have you got everything straight?

Sure.

If I see any strangers around, I rap on the water pipe.

Right.

Keep your eyes open.

Good night.

Good night.

Stay where you are.

Whoa, whoa.

I'll take charge of that little cricket.

Never mind rapping on that water pipe.

Say, you look tired.

I'll bet you're just aching to get out there on the ranch.

You're crazy.

I got a job here.

Oh, no.

You mean you did have a job here.

See, what did I tell you Windy?

He's just crazy to get out there.

Yeah.

I bet you're just aching to go out there with me.

Well, looks like since you're doing the inviting,

I'll have to accept.

Oh, you'll love it out there, nice soft beds

and good eats.

Shall I take your arm or will you come along?

Oh, you'll get yours for this.

Oh, you don't need to go thanking us here.

You can thank me when I get back to the ranch.

Hoppy, I'm worried.

What about?

I wish I hadn't gotten you into this.

If there's going to be any gun play...

Why don't you let me do the worrying?

I can't help it, Hoppy.

If anything were to happen to you, I'd feel I was to blame.

You might as well know the truth, Ann.

This town's liable to be a mighty unhealthy place

for a while.

Why don't you go out to the ranch and stay?

Least until this is straightened out.

I'm going to stay right here.

Maybe I can be of some help.

You can't tell what's liable to happen.

You might even be in danger yourself.

Why don't you go away for a while?

No, I'm staying.

All right.

Have it your own way.

Morning, Murphy.

Morning.

Morning.

Good morning, Mr. Cassidy.

Oh, good morning, Slade.

You're up early.

Yeah, waking at sun up.

Thought I'd make a run up here first thing.

Say, Slade, I thought you were going to hire a watchman.

I did hire one.

Les Martin.

Came to work last night.

Nobody on the job when I come up here this morning.

There wasn't?

Maybe he went to sleep in the tool shed.

Hey, which one of you fellas is the foreman?

He is.

Huh?

I say, he is.

What say?

He's the foreman, you deaf old idiot.

What do you want? I'm the foreman.

I'm looking for that night watchman's job.

I met the fella that had it.

He said he was quitting to go up to the county seat,

see a doctor.

He's ailing.

Something wrong with his appendicitis.

I think we'd better get somebody else for a watchman.

This old good for nothing is a blank unless you yell at him.

You say something me, Mister?

Well, how about the job?

If I don't get it, I don't eat.

I hate to turn down a hungry man.

Well, it's up to you if you think he can earn his keep.

I think he can.

What's your name, you old battle axe?

Huh?

Your name.

Name, N-A-M-E.

I ain't lame.

What's your name?

Oh, name, yeah.

Aloysius Sweeney.

Anything else?

Age?

Huh?

Age.

Never had the ague, never.

How old are you?

32.

What's all the yelling about here, huh?

If that guy's 32, I'm a hyena.

What's that?

Let it go.

Huh?

Experience?

What's the matter with this fella?

Can't he talk English?

He's all right.

Tell him you'll take the job.

Tell him what?

Say you'll take the job!

You darn tootin' I'll take the job.

What do you suppose I come up here for, pick daisies?

Report to work at eight tonight.

Eight, eight it is.

I'd like to see somebody stop me.

Go sleep in the tool shack.

You better show him where he's going to sleep.

If you try to explain anything to him,

you'll have a yell your lungs out.

I'm ready for work, Mr. Slade.

Oh, I make an inspection every night.

Huh?

Ah, shut up.

Oh, lost your pup, huh?

Too bad.

Hi ya, Pierce.

Hi.

Got a new watchman.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And you won't have to kill him unless you want to.

He's deaf and dumb.

He'll be dead if he makes any phony moves.

You're some watchman, old fella.

Cassidy sure did me a favor and let me dig you out

of your grave.

Why should I shave?

Ain't no society folks around here.

Good night.

Whoa, whoa.

All right, men.

Back to work.

It was just that old white cat.

Yes, sir, there they was, big as life,

working away in our mine.

Were they working on both tunnels?

Uh-uh.

They was only in one.

Was the tunnel on the right as you face them?

Yeah.

How did you know?

Because that's the one we don't work.

Windy, there's something fishy about this.

My guess is that there's a tunnel

that leads from the Devil May Care Mine

and connects with ours.

And that Slade's in with Frazier.

Are we rounding him up tonight?

No, not till we find out who got Denny.

Oh.

You better get back to the mine now before they miss you.

Blow the light out, will you?

Hey, Slade.

Take a couple of men out to the mouth of the tunnel.

Going to put some new timber up out there.

Looks kind of weak.

Looks all right to me.

Maybe it does, but I want to make sure.

All right, just as you say.

Ross, Williams, come on with me.

What are you trying to do?

Shut up.

I'll ask the questions.

Well, I ain't talking.

Well, what's the meaning of this?

Means there's no more mystery about the Freeze Out Mine.

Our neighbor here lets himself in

through the side door there,

helps himself to our gold and kills anybody

that happens to get in his way.

Nice work, Cassidy.

We'll take your prisoner down to the assay office

and explain things to Perkins.

If the gold in the Devil May Car matches

the gold in the vein we lost, we'll trap the whole outfit.

Thanks for the idea, Slade.

Hey you, get up.

Walk between us and watch your step.

Don't make any phony moves.

Mr. Cassidy wants to know if the ore they're shipping

from the Devil May Care Mine matches

this piece we took out of the Freeze Out

when we first hit that rich vein.

I'll take a note those two rocks are from the same place.

And you'll testify that the Devil May Care gold

is out of the Freeze Out Mine?

Positively.

Good.

Now we can...

Just a minute.

I'd like to have that statement in writing.

Oh, you can trust me, Cassidy.

But I don't blame you for taking no chances.

Oh, I trust you all right.

Just that I like to see things on paper.

There'd be less lawyering if there were more men like you.

What are you going to do with him?

Figure on, turning them over to the sheriff

for safe keeping till we round up the others.

You got any better ideas?

If you do that, word's liable to get out.

What of it?

Well, if the men who have been high grading your gold

find out that you're on to them,

they'll stay away from the Freeze Out.

And you'll never catch them.

I never thought of that.

What do you suggest?

We ought to hide him some place

he can't do any talking till we round up

the rest of the gang.

Do you know of a place?

There's a deserted prospector's

shack out in Sandstone Gulch.

We could hold him there.

That sounds all right to me.

Here's your statement, Mr. Cassidy.

I'll take this little piece of paper.

Come on, let's go back to the mine. I want to get my horse.

Stand still, you jughead.

Say, Slade, how much of a ride is it

out to that deserted shack at Sandstone Gulch?

About half an hour.

That's fine.

I've got to be back here within the hour.

We ought to make it easy in that time

if we don't have any more trouble.

Come on.

Get inside.

Sit down.

Now, if you was to talk,

we might get a court to go a little easier on you

for turning state's evidence.

Evidence against who?

He knows who I'm talking about.

The boss, the one that planned this whole thing.

I got a pretty good idea who he is too.

But have it your own way.

I'm just trying to save all of us a little trouble.

Better tie him up, Cassidy.

We wouldn't want him get back to town

in time to warn the others.

I'm going to let you tie him up, Slade.

What do you mean?

Unless I'm mighty mistaken,

you're in this as deep as anyone.

Drop it, Cassidy, you're covered.

I had an idea I might be needed

when Perkins told me what was up.

Here, tie him up.

Give me that gun.

I'll finish it.

No, if he was found with lead in him,

his friends wouldn't rest until they tracked us down.

Here's a much better way.

Hoppy!

Hoppy!

Hoppy!

We'll get them for this, Hoppy.

We'll get those dirty polecats.

Hoppy!

Hoppy!

Are you all right, Hoppy?

Yeah, outside of being singed.

Got here just in time, partner.

Oh, why do you take those darn fool chances?

Thought it was worth it, Windy.

Found out who the whole gang is.

You did?

Yeah.

Well, what's the next move?

From now on, it's going to be easy.

See that Buck and the boys are ready tonight.

When the men go into the mine, you give the signal.

Well, what's the signal?

Well, light your pipe.

The match will be a signal.

Well, I guess they got my horse.

Have Lucky come by here and pick me up.

I've got to play dead here till sundown.

I'll meet you at the shindig.

It ain't going to be no party.

Where you been?

Speak up, young fella.

Where you been?

Oh, I been fine, thanks.

I said where.

Where have you been?

Where?

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes, where have you been?

That's what I asked you.

Somebody passed me?

Oh, get back to the mine where you belong.

Huh?

Get back to the mine and stay there!

Oh, well, why didn't you say so in the first place?

Goodbye, Mr. Slade.

Giddy up there.

Coming into town, I run into Slade.

You know I got an idea he's suspicious of me.

But everything's all right for tonight.

I'm supposed to ride out now and tell Buck Peters.

But I'm scared I'm being watched.

I'll go, Windy.

I want to do something to help.

I don't like the idea.

If anything ever happened to you,

Hoppy would never forgive me.

Why, I wouldn't even forgive myself.

I've got to take the same chances as everyone else.

Well, all right.

Tell Lucky to just pick up Hoppy in Sandstone Gulch.

And remember the signal.

They're supposed to close in on the mine

when I light my pipe.

Now mind you, come right back.

One, pick up Hoppy.

Pick up Hoppy.

Two, the signal's when you light your pipe.

Light the pipe.

And three...

Come right back.

Come right back.

You better hurry back to the mine before they miss you.

I'll start for the ranch right away.

So that's the way the land lies, hey?

Well, you can tell Hoppy that we'll be there and ready

to back him up.

Thanks, Mr. Peters.

It's fine of you to help.

If there's any thanks due, you give them to Cassidy.

He's the one talked me into this.

Well, make yourself comfortable.

I'll go get a horse for Hoppy.

Boys, get saddles on your horses.

What's up, Mr. Peters?

Well, Hoppy's all set to start moving in tonight.

Oh, then we're riding.

Yeah, we'll cut over north of the Devil Make Care Mine.

From there we can see Windy's signal that all's clear,

then we close in.

What's the signal?

Windy will light his pipe.

But I think maybe you better stay here

and look out for your guest.

And miss all that fun?

I should say not.

Say, I owe a couple of the miners a black eye

and I aim to pay them back.

I reckon I'll find a way to keep her here till we get back.

Come on.

Fred, saddle my horse.

Well, here you are.

You can tell Hoppy that we'll meet him just north

of the Devil May Care Mine.

Thanks, Mr. Peters.

Some day I'll try to tell you how really grateful I am.

Just having you smile at me that a-way, is thanks aplenty.

There you are.

Goodbye.

So long.

What's the idea, Lucky?

I'm going along.

What about Martin?

Oh, he'll keep till we get back.

Hey, let me out of here.

Don't go off and leave me like this.

Hey!

Let me out of here, will you?

Well, suppose he gets out of there?

He won't go very far without any clothes on.

All ready, men?

Yep, we're all wet.

All ready, boss.

Let's go.

Let me out, will you?

Don't go off and leave me like this!

Let me out, will you?

Ann, what are you doing here?

I brought your horse, but I see you have yours.

Yeah, he come back as soon as they turned him loose.

Buck and the boys are waiting for you just north

of the Devil May Care Mine.

That's fine, Ann.

But you shouldn't have come out here.

Well, I had to do something.

I couldn't just sit by.

Sometimes it's better to play safe.

But I feel it's up to me

to see that the men who killed Denny are punished.

It'll probably be done before morning, Ann.

Hoppy, don't let anything happen to you.

Don't worry.

Nothing's going to happen.

Everything works out right,

you'll be heading East before long.

Someday I hope I can do something

to show my appreciation for all you've done for me.

Forget it.

I'll see you later.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Al, you stay here.

When you get the signal from Frosty, relay it back to Red.

We're all ready, Cassidy.

Lucky's getting set for Windy's signal.

Good.

Mighty white of you to be here, Buck.

Huh, they couldn't keep me away.

Windy's on the job all right.

Keep your eyes peeled on him.

When he lights his pipe, give the signal.

I got you, Lucky.

Everything's all set, Hoppy.

Good.

Brought this along, in case you might need it.

Probably will.

There they go.

They got the Freeze Out spy today.

I can guess what happened to him.

We ought to be getting that signal soon.

Who's on the lookout?

Frosty and Al.

I hope Windy's on the job.

I'll gamble he is.

Evening, Mr. Slade.

Been inspecting again?

What do you think I've been doing?

Huh?

Someday you're going to huh me once too often.

Yeah, I believe you're right about that, Mister.

I wonder if something's wrong.

If we don't get the signal in 10 minutes,

let's charge anyway.

No, we're liable to run right into a trap.

What are you trying to do?

My pipe.

I ain't got no matches.

Here, see if these will work,

you mattress-faced old jack rabbit.

Thank you very much, Mr. Slade.

You're very welcome.

Whew.

You fellas get all set.

I'll give you a whistle.

Buck, you two men, come with me.

Lucky, you and the rest of boys stay here

and guard the entrance of the mine until we get back.

Pete, Jim, come on.

Well, with Cassidy out of the way,

we ought to have clear sailing from now on.

Yep.

Yeah.

Here's to success.

Maybe I should let you two finish them drinks.

They'll be the last ones you'll have for a long time.

Put your hands on the table and keep them there.

All right, Buck, keep them here till we finish this roundup.

Everything all right?

No trouble yet.

Fred, you stay right where you are.

Lucky, you and the rest of the boys come with me.

They were found out!

Let's get out of here!

You fellas get up to the surface.

Me and Evans will hold them until they get clear.

You boys stay here and draw their fire.

Come on.

Back to your holes, you gophers!

Stay out of this, Hoppy.

This one's mine.

Here Lucky, you and Windy take the prisoners into town.

I'll meet you there.

I'm dying for a smoke, Peters.

I haven't had one all night.

Do you mind if I light a cigar?

Oh, I guess it's all right.

What happened?

Frazier got away.

Which way did he go?

Went that a-way.

Wait a minute, Cassidy.

I'm riding with you.

No, you're not.

This is a personal matter.

Hah!

I don't know whether you are right or not,

Hoppy, about it being the best thing

for me to take a trip East.

I know I'm right.

You need a rest, Ann.

Go ahead now and have a good time

and don't be worrying about the mine.

You don't need to worry none about that mine, Miss Ann,

with me keeping my eye on it.

He means with us keeping our eyes on it.

Oh, well, then, with us keeping our eyes on it.

Them fellas you got working for you,

they sure are trying their best to make you a millionairess.

I know that, Windy.

But I don't want to be rich,

unless I an share it with someone.

Well, the men at the mine

are not complaining about the way

you're sharing your profits with them.

You know very well what I'm trying to say, don't you?

Why no, Ann, but I...

Then if you don't come East to say it,

then I suppose I've got to come back here.

You're darn tootin'.
