Well, never but one man could surprise
me with my own calling card.

Jim?

Hey, did I keep you waiting long, Frank?

Well, I've been occupying the time
constructively.

Good to see you, Jim.

What's new?

The fellow president got two more
warnings.

That's getting to be a steady thing,
isn't it? What now?

The state capitol and Pinewood.

Why don't you take the state capitol?
I'll take Pinewood.

It is the Capitol.

Right.

And so,

my

friends, in just ten minutes, the new
spur line from Tucson will make its

stop in our fair city.

With the Tucson and Tucumcari Railroad
will come people, and you know what that

means. Say it!

Folks spell more industry, and industry
means prosperity beyond...

to this historic occasion.

Mr. Mayor.

Oh, Captain, my Captain, our fearful
trip is done.

The ship has weathered every wrack. The
prize we sought is won.

Now, what's this all about, Mr. West?

Mayor, the government has received a
warning that there's going to be

in your town today.

A disaster?

Well, what sort of a disaster?

We don't know, sir.

Who sent the warning?

We don't know that either, sir.

An anonymous message warning of some
unnamed disaster.

Sounds like somebody's idea of a very
bad joke.

Sir, the town of Cactus Falls received a
similar warning. They thought it was a

bad joke.

The dam just outside of their town
collapsed.

It flooded all of Cactus Falls.

Well, a coincidence, no doubt.

My heaven, Zenobia's finished.

Oh,

I want to thank you for your concern,
Mr. West, but I'm sure there's no cause

for alarm.

People of Pinewood would do nothing to
mar this historic occasion.

They realize how important this link -up
with the railroad is.

Oh, my goodness.

That train is nearly at the trestle.

Trestle? Yes, it's our new trustful,
just outside of town.

Come in.

Yes, Miss Simms.

This crate was just delivered,
Professor.

There's no return address.

Did the messenger say who sent it?

No, sir.

Odd. Thank you, Miss Sand.

You don't need me anymore this evening,
Professor Winkler.

Professor, are you off?

This doesn't make any sense.

Winkler, Forbes, Putney.

And you're sure that Forbes is a man who
blew up the dam at Cactus Falls?

I'm positive.

He founded that town. Damn, he's a
former territorial governor. Now, why in

world would he do a thing like that?

Why would Putney blow up the trestle?

And why would Winkler destroy his own
artworks worth a million dollars?

I don't know.

Sure nothing in those cars to help us,
is there?

Frank, I failed to mention one thing.

Well, don't spare me now.

Ethan Forbes' wife swore she saw a raven
fly into the window of Forbes' study

just before it left to blow up the dam.

Another raven, huh?

What's the answer, Jim?

Frank, I'm not sure I know the question.

Pull the curtains first, gentlemen.

Mr. President, sir.

My apologies, gentlemen, for dropping in
unannounced.

I felt it was best to have complete
secrecy.

I don't even want it known I'm not in
Washington.

May I present Colonel Chavales, Special
Assistant of Ambassador Ramirez of

Mexico. This is James West, Frank
Harper. Colonel.

Mr. President?

Oh, by the way, Artemis sends his
regards to both of you.

How is he bearing up under his
Washington assignment, sir? The question

is Washington bearing up? I hear there's
been a steady influx of lovely young

ladies since Artemis has been assigned
to us there.

Gentlemen, the colonel will explain to
you the reason for our visit here.

Colonel, tell them.

Senores, what has been happening in your
country is strange, inexplicable

behavior. on the part of such men as
Mayor Padney, Professor Winkler, and

General Forbes, has also been taking
place in my country.

Several of my countrymen, men of
unimpeachable patriotism, have engaged

senseless acts of sabotage.

Just as with Padney, Winkler, and
Forbes, his countrymen have no memory of

committing any crimes.

Or any possible explanation of why they
committed them.

Well, gentlemen, we might just as well
get comfortable.

We've got a lot of talking to do.

Well, gentlemen, I guess that's it.

So we're agreed that someone has found a
way to make these men behave in a

manner completely foreign to them. The
thing I do not understand is why our

governments are warned that a disaster
is about to take place.

Well, it appears that they're giving us
a sort of a preview of their power, a

demonstration, so to speak.

Whoever they are.

Exactly, Mr. President.

Someone has started a campaign to sow
fear and suspicion among the people of

this country and of Mexico.

By destroying their confidence in the
leaders of their communities.

But what do they want?

I feel we're to find out soon enough.

Well, I've been expecting some demand on
me before this.

Jim, Ambassador Ramirez is going to be
in Nogales Day after tomorrow.

Now, I want you or Frank, both of you,
to be there to meet him.

Now, the colonel here will be there,
too.

I want you to give him all the
information that we've got.

I want you to assure him.

Of our complete cooperation with the
Mexican government in combating this

terrible threat.

This insidious power.

Whatever it is, whatever its purpose,
it's got to be crushed.

Crushed quickly.

What's wrong?

A message for you, sir.

Well, it can't... That's not possible.

No one knows I'm here.

Someone does now, sir.

What's the message?

It says Wolfville is next.

You check the mayor's office. I'll get
the sheriff. Let's go.

Hey, Sheriff!

What do you want, Brad?

How about a little something to eat out
of that $5 ,000 reward you got for us?

You'll get food when it gets here.

Hey, Elmo.

Lipo's sitting on the hitch rail out
front.

Ain't that something?

And he hopped right up on my arm like he
wanted to come inside all the time.

Friendly critter, ain't he?

I guess I'll finish cleaning up now.

I'm going now, Bill.

What are you doing, Sheriff?

No! No!

No, Sheriff.

No, Sheriff.

No!

What's he up to?

I don't get it.

Let's go.

Why?

I don't know, but I ain't gonna stick
around and argue with him.

Let's get out of here.

These are the exact same glasses that
Puddin and Forbes wore.

And Professor Winkler.

And now Elmo Stone.

Now, that's just incredible to me.

Elmo Stone is one of the most dedicated
lawmen in the West.

Before the war, he brought the law to
this territory almost single -handedly.

Waking up.

What are you doing here?

It's a long story, Elmo.

Why? I don't understand.

Elmo, just a little while ago, you tried
to release the brass gang.

Release? That's right.

They didn't get away.

They're back in your jail right now.

Now, why in the world would you try to
do a thing like that?

Why?

I don't know. I just don't know.

Elmo, we're interested in those
spectacles of yours. How long have you

wearing them?

About a week.

A fellow came through.

He was a traveling eye doctor.

Now, this eye doctor, what was his name?

It's... Ocularis.

Dr. Horatio Ocularis. He said he was
going through the country introducing

new kind of spectacles and said he'd
give me a pair of specs if I'd wear them

for a month and then... Write him a
letter and tell him whether I liked him

not. Well, why were you chosen for this
free trial?

Well, he... Because I'm the sheriff, I
guess. Because he said he usually went

the town's leading citizen.

Oh, that fits.

Go on, then.

Well, that's about it. He tested my eyes
and... Just didn't fix the spectacles

for me and left town.

Well, what kind of a test did he give
you?

Well, he put some drops in them and then
had me look into this.

This machine, it was kind of like a
magic lantern.

I'd seen one in Kansas City in a penny
arcade one time.

You know, a little black box that you
look into and you crank the handle and

pictures move.

That's a kinetoscope.

Now, did this Dr.

Ocularis say where he was going after he
left Woolfield?

No, no, but he did ask me if I knew
anybody in any of the towns around that

might be willing to take him up on his
offer. You know, like a mayor or a judge

or a sheriff. So I gave him Hiram's
name.

Well, who's Hiram?

Oh, it's Hiram Sneed. That's my brother
-in -law. He's mayor of San Pablo.

San Pablo?

Yeah, just the side of the border. Do
you know it?

Well enough.

Sat in on a stud poker game there one
time that ran on for three straight

Best I could do was break even.

Well, sounds like maybe I ought to ride
on down there and meet this Mayor Sneed,

huh? I'll join you there as soon as
possible, as soon as I finish my

here, Frank. All right.

I'll wait in San Pablo till they hear
from you, Jim.

Elmo, take care of yourself.

All right.

Hey, Sheriff!

What kind of a jailbird do you call
this?

That's the one that Billy brought in
last night.

Billy found him out on the hitching post
outside until he acted real team -like.

Maybe he belongs to somebody.

He does.

To Dr.

Ocularis.

I think he expected a return to him
after it had served its purpose.

You mean he was trained like a homing
pigeon?

That's what I mean exactly.

Get on your feet.

Who are you?

I said get on your feet. What's the
meaning of this?

Unhand me, you ruffian!

Come on, Ocularis.

Ocularis? You can read, can't you?

And who may I ask of you?

And by what right are you coming to this
camp, manhandling me in this manner?

Calm down.

Honest, I don't know anything about all
this.

If you've got some problem with him,
don't mix me up in it. I've got plenty

troubles of my own.

Who is she?

I have no idea.

That's right, he doesn't. I just hid in
the wagon to get a ride.

You just got in the wagon for a ride?

Well, I didn't have much choice.

There I was in Burrow Flats, broke.

Didn't look like there was much future
there for me, so...

When he came through, well, any place is
better than borough flats.

What's your name?

Lorette.

What's yours?

All right, Lorette.

Get on the wagon. We'll take you to
Wolfsburg.

Ocularis, you say?

Dr. Horatio Ocularis? That's right, Mr.

Sneed. Does that name mean anything to
you?

Yeah, yeah, it sure does, Mr. Hopper.

Well, what?

I got it right here. Now, just hold on
now.

What is it that you got?

I got a letter. He sent me a letter.

Well, maybe you could just tell me what
was in the letter.

What? Oh.

Well, let's see now.

As I remember, he said he would... Be
here on the 15th. I remember the date

because it was just two days before our
big fiesta.

15th? Well, that's today.

Why, sure it is.

I sure hope he shows up. He promised me
a free pair of glasses.

He'll be here, Mr. Mayor.

You sure?

I'd hate to miss out on those glasses.

I'd be willing to bet on it.

Jim? No, Sheriff. Surely you've mistaken
me for someone else. No, no, you're the

one. I protest.

I've never seen you before in my life.

Oh, come on.

It's not going to do you any good. On
the contrary.

I expect it to do me a great deal of
good.

The gun was rigged to fire backward.

Fire backwards?

Sheriff, he didn't have this gun on him
when I captured him. I traced him.

Well, then how did he... Girl.

What girl?

Looks like I'm going to have to find
out.

I'm addressing Mayor Sneed, I presume.

Yep, that's me all right.

What can I do for you?

Dr. Aquilaris. Dr.

Horatio Aquilaris.

I wrote you a letter from Wolfville a
few days ago. I trust you received it.

Yep, I got it all right. It's around
here, somewhere.

Anyway.

Excellent. Then you know the purpose for
which I'm here.

Yep. You want to give me a... A pair of
new glasses.

Free? Now, your letter said free, right?

Exactly, Your Honor, without charge or
obligation.

All I ask is that you try them for 30
days and then drop me a line letting me

know, frankly and honestly, how you like
them.

A letter which you will permit me to use
as a testimonial when I make the new

lens available on the open market.

Is that agreeable to you?

Yeah. Never passed up an offer like
that.

You sure?

There's no strings now.

Absolutely free.

Now, if you will permit me, Mr. Mayor, I
will get the equipment that I need for

the examination.

Doctor!

It won't hurt, will it?

The examination?

But, yes, sir, you won't know anything
is happening.

How nice.

There we are.

Now, if you just step over to the table.

May I sneak?

Now, if you'll just look into the
kinetoscope and turn the handle as

you can.

Ready? Very good.

Faster, Milton.

Dick. Well, look at that, would you?

Time never. That's lovely.

May I stop now, Your Honor?

May I sneak?

May I sneak?

Your Honor!

May I sneak?

You may stop now.

Oh.

About those glasses I promised you.

Oh, yes, my free glasses.

Oh, not now.

But I think you will find an occasion to
use them.

Don't know how I'll ever thank you,
Doctor.

Just don't know how.

Oh, you'll find a way, Mr. Mayor.

I know you will.

Hi,

Frank.

Hey, Jim.

I just talked to Mayor Sneed.

Oh, and he told you that I had a visit
from Dr.

Ocularis. You had a visit from another
Ocularis, the one that conditioned

Sheriff Stone is dead.

Dead? You mean there's more than one of
those guys?

There may be several, but we'll know the
answer to that when we talk to your

man. Well, that's going to be a little
hard to do, Jim.

He's left.

Left?

You mean you didn't arrest him?

Why should I? I hadn't done anything
unlawful.

You know, I never thought I'd have so
much trouble getting Hiram Sneed's ring

off my finger.

Frank, we've got to find him and bring
him back

here.

I'm going to kill you, Mr. West.

Not Frank.

Frank, put that gun down.

Who is Frank?

Why do you call me that?

My name is Sneed.

Hiram Sneed.

I forgot, of course, Mr. Sneed.

You were told to kill me by Dr.

By Dr. Ocularis.

Ocularis?

Did he say anything about... Frank
Harper?

Frank Harper?

Yep.

Yep. Supposed to kill him, too. Why
don't you kill him first?

Got to kill Frank Harper.

Feeling better, Frank?

A little better, I think.

I still don't remember how close I come
to killing you, Jim.

You know, I still can't... I still can't
quite understand how Ocularis could

have got me under his control without my
being aware of it.

Well, we know these glasses have
something to do with it.

Yeah, and there's the eye drops and the
kinetoscope.

And then the appearance of the raven.

It seems to trigger off the desired
reaction in a person who's been

There's a brilliant mind behind this,
but I'm sure it's not those eye doctors

that call themselves ocularis. It's...

What's

the matter, Jim?

Flora Red.

Hey, Jim.

Hmm,

well, for goodness sake, look who's
here.

I bet you wonder where I ran off to.

I'd like to speak to this lady alone,
please.

Go on, go on.

Got something explaining to do.

Why don't you buy me a drink and I'll
tell you the whole story?

Because I'm not thirsty.

Oh, I guess you're angry because I
didn't wait for you in Wolfville.

That's right.

Well, you know, a funny thing happened
there.

I was sitting on the wagon waiting for
you, and I didn't know how long you'd

And along came this fellow headed for
San Pablo.

He was awfully nice, and when he offered
me a ride, well, I never cared much for

Wolfville anyway.

I know why you left.

Well, I just told you why.

But I'm glad you followed me anyway.

What about the trick gun you slipped to
Dr.

Ocularis?

Trick gun?

Dr. Ocularis? What are you talking
about?

Murder.

Murder?

Me?

Come on, let's go.

You're not arresting me.

I'm not inviting you to dance.

No, you're not, are you?

Permit me to introduce myself, Mr. West.

I'm Professor Thaddeus Toombs.

Sit down, Mr. West.

Suit yourself.

It may interest you to know that you're
the first outsider that has ever visited

the headquarters of Raven.

Raven, Mr. West, is an organization
composed of scientists like myself.

Men possessed of learning and talents
undreamed of by lesser mortals, shall we

say.

Men dedicated to freeing the world from
the ignorant masses and their vain and

small -minded leaders.

We shall, when we come to power, rule
the Earth and its inhabitants

scientifically.

Our organization is called Raven, Mr.
West, out of a mutual admiration for

much -maligned bird.

I will detain you no longer.

You've been brought here for one
purpose, to carry a message to President

You will tell President Grant there is
no defense against Raven.

Tell him we demand unconditional
surrender.

Hey, Jim.

Hey, Frank.

What in the world happened to you?

This lady friend of mine, she, uh... She
drugged me.

Drugged you?

Why?

She wanted to show me something. There
was this, uh... This large room.

And there was this man with... With a
large head.

Sitting on a sort of a stage.

And then three other men walked in.

And one of them said his name was
Toomes.

Toomes?

Yeah, Professor Thaddeus Toomes.

And that he belonged to this
organization called The Raven.

And they had a message for him.

For our president.

Go on.

That's all I can remember that I... must
have passed out.

Look, Jim, there must be more to it than
that.

Yeah, there was more.

And now I remember those... those dots
and those lines.

The same geometric figure.

When I... Came to in a room, Frank.
There was this... this kinetoscope.

You think they used that on you while
you were unconscious?

They must have.

They must have conditioned me just like
they did you and all the others.

A walking time bomb.

For the Raven to use whenever he thinks
it's necessary.

Now, look, Jim.

They must have got you from here to
that... to that room somehow.

Why don't you look around the saloon
here, and I'll go pick up our gear at

hotel, all right?

All right.

These piñatas must have worked by some
kind of preset trigger mechanism.

We'll never know for sure.

Yeah, I guess you're right, Frank.

Why don't you go see Ramirez in New
Galas?

Raven's headquarters is somewhere here
in San Pablo or close by, and I'm gonna

find it.

Well, I guess it makes sense for one of
us to stay, but, uh... What you worried

about me, huh, Frank?

Well... Aren't you a little worried
about yourself, Jim?

Yeah, I was.

Was?

Frank, we're both forgetting one thing.

If Raven had conditioned me, he would
have given me the glasses.

That's right. He didn't, did he?

So I'm not a walking time bomb.

Well, that's quite a relief.

Yeah.

Frank, you've got a long ride ahead of
you. You don't want to keep the

ambassador waiting.

Why don't you get it on?

Okay, Jim.

Good luck. Good luck to you, Frank.

Hey, Frank.

Yeah?

Why don't you keep Ramirez with you
until I get there?

Sure.

I understand.

Pardon me, sir.

Why have you left your posts?

There's supposed to be someone on guard
in this corridor at all times.

I have to go to my meeting with Toombs.

I'm not interested in Philadelphia,
Professor. Tell me about Nogales.

Ah, yes.

Nogales.

I'm pleased to announce that I've heard
from our colleague in Nogales within the

hour. Well, well. Well, what does he
say?

That Ambassador Ramirez has arrived in
that city and that all is proceeding

according to plan.

I can say with complete confidence that
due to our operative in that city, by

this time tomorrow night, the Republic
of Mexico...

We'll be right for the plucking.

Thank you.
