Release the horses!

Bring that down.

From the West

Dick Powell, presents:

The Zane Gray Theater.

Before the railroad extended to the West,

Freight transport was a big problem.

Even back then it was a big business.

The West freight vehicle

It was 10 x 14 feet long.

3 to 5 feet deep.

Could load 2 or 3 tons

and it cost about $ 700.

And for camouflage, because of the Indians,

It was painted blue, gray or green.

Where would they get green horses?

The requirements to be driver of loads

they were extraordinarily rigid, and

Many freight lines required their drivers to sign this oath:

I will not drink or play while driving,

It seems reasonable to me.

I will be gentle with animals and treat people with courtesy.

I presume in that order.

I will not curse, I will bathe once a week and I will change my clothes occasionally.

True devotion

Due to the many dangers involved, transportation prices were very high.

For example, in 1864, from Utah to Montana,

the price of transporting a gallon of whiskey was US $ 0.18.

dry grains US $ 0.15 per pound,

perishable US $ 021 per pound.

In Utah, a 50-pound bag of flour cost $ 4.95.

The cost of transporting it to Montana, US $ 5.00.

That's too much sugar for a little flour.

In the story that we have chosen for you this week, "The Carrier",

we will see some of the problems in carrying...

"The carrier"

Good evening. Will, where's Belle?

Oh, Judge,

Belle made me do this for you.

It is a beauty.

No one in the county can beat me now.

Ellwood either.

Judge, a man told me once

that time always comes

when the student exceeds the teacher.

I think I've come to think

that you were the man who told me that.

Either way we will keep it in the family.

Where is she?

You are greasing an axle, just follow the smell.

Try to move smoothly,

that can burn deeply.

It should be easier when we buy that new axle grease in Chicago.

Did you make me come to talk to me about axle grease?

Oh, grandpa.

No, I made you come to show you something.

Where did you get that?

Of the Mcgregor Mines that reopen in Carson and we have the contract

to transport your supplies.

That money is an advance, judge. For the first shipment.

The first trip came out this morning.

Come with me to the office and watch me do what you said was impossible,

comply with the payroll.

Oh, that's very good.

But bringing supplies to a mining company will not keep you in business.

You still think I can not do it.

It will be years before this country recovers from the war between the states,

and right now you have 10 wagons standing

in empty stations around the city. - Eight eight.

One is already on the way to the mine and the other

comes from Phoenix with the second supply charge.

When I gave you this line, I told you that you were on your own,

Maybe you get it, maybe not,

but do not interrupt my afternoon nap to tell me.

Judge, if it were not so directly related to you.

I would tell him how stubborn and crazy he is.

Come on, I'd like you to stop calling me a judge,

I've been retired for 20 years.

Thanks for the whip.

Come back home early and I'll help you with the bills.

Well, here are boys.

Come here Ben, the payroll is waiting for us.

You have the right place here, ma'am.

Thank you.

Very kind, but I would like to be part of it.

They are looking for a job?

Not exactly lady.

My name is Rufus Murdock,

and this is my eldest son Newt.

How are you, ma'am?

He is the most sympathetic man that has ever existed.

It has to be, otherwise the guys might be offended by what he says.

And that can be drastically fatal.

This is Red,

my second boy

He is the one who looks like me in the family.

It is like a sandstorm, prepared for the wind of the world.

It goes from bottom to top without you hardly noticing.

I'm like my father, ma'am.

You see, he has given us everything.

This is the youngest,

He does not talk much.

Surely he did not get that from his father.

It's the sensitive type.

An artist could be said,

He painted the black ball on the sides of our freight car.

Cargo wagon?

Of course we do not have pretty prints like those on the Garrison line,

but that's because none of us knows how to write.

If there was any complaint of in the market about what we are the black ball

in the cargo business. They were limited.

Well, you are welcome to compete, but there is hardly any space

for a carrier in these places.

Very good lady, now we are of the same opinion.

That's why we decided against the competition.

We propose the fusion.

What? But what an old fool, if he had the sense of a blind mule...

I do not think this is the right outlet for you.

Oh, but it is, ma'am. Certainly it is.

We have investigated it.

We know that you have a contract with the Macgregor mines,

We know that you are raising this line again.

I'd better make them investigate and I'm sure I'll meet a Sheriff in his past,

and not too far away.

It's not like that, ma'am. We are a hard-working family.

We have already worked the mail, the mining farm and the cattle.

We believe that it is time for a change.

And we are changing our efforts to transport.

I see that he is a man of a very strong character, Mr. Murdock.

If you are willing to work, I could have a job for you.

I would lose my function as a father if I allowed my children to work for a salary,

a Murdock has never worked for anyone and never will.

We would accept to be partners.

It would be better to follow his path.

Could get...

Quiet...

See, ma'am, no matter how decent Newt behaves,

there is always someone anxious to face his revolver.

The gentleman is unarmed.

I will face him, Pa.

that stake makes it just my size.

We came, we came to unite, not fight them.

Get out of my property.

Well, we will go. We will be around the city for a while.

Sometimes things happen that make people change their minds.

It might be convenient to talk to Marshall about those guys.

The Marshall is touring the area charging taxes,

It will not be back for another week.

And Ben Leslie, thanks for your patience Ben.

Enchanted boss.

For this date next month we will have all the wagons in service.

Call the boss!

Boss assaulted us.

You are injured.

Only my pride.

What happened?

They burned the car,

until the last sheet and the last sack of flour.

Could you recognize them?

I did not see them, they were hiding in the rocks.

Where is Tim?

He went to the mine, to inform the Macgregors that the supplies will not arrive.

You look tired, better go to rest a little.

Nothing we could do boss, nothing with those weapons pointing us.

All right.

Surely I can not take another loss like that.

Paying that payroll required all the cash we had.

That was to force us to join the Murdocks.

Yes.

Return that.

That does not sound like Belle Garrison.

Being shot will not save our contract.

You will not allow them to get away with it.

First things first, you have to get supplies to the Macgregors.

Sure, we have another shipment coming from Phoenix.

What will happen if we lose it?

Ad, it depends on you watching the Murdocks until they get here.

Without the weapon.

I do not care what Grandpa says, I'm going to stay here

until our wagon arrives from Phoenix even if it takes all night.

He will not like it.

I'm sorry, but that's how it is.

Belle, they blinded me.

Old Murdock and the redhead were sitting like ducks in the "Last Chance",

the two left a couple of hours ago,

I do not think they tried anything by themselves, but they took the road to Phoenix.

We better ride.

Any questions about who did it?

No doubt, just no evidence.

I have not dared much, madam,

We can put a desk for you there.

We think that maybe you They would be looking for us.

They are men who think like you

They would not like it to interfere.

My boy does not need any help.

We made a hard offer,

we would have been satisfied with half,

but you made your choice.

You vagabond murderer,

when Marshall comes back I'll see him hang so high...

He can not prove anything except that his luck is bad.

So bad that he has no supplies to deliver.

So bad that he will not have the opportunity to keep that contract.

Come on boy.

If it goes outside

My boy Newt will be waiting for you.

Good afternoon Ez.

Good evening Madam.

My credit is still good.

Yes, for a few yards of cotton and a few cans of beans.

I need a few hundred cans of beans,

50 sacks of flour...

I'm sorry I can not credit you that much.

But for the weekend,

If I can not return them, I'll pay them in cash.

I can not do it.

Why not?

By agreement between the partners.

Partners?

The news about your bad luck is known throughout the city, Belle.

Someone will take over.

It can be me and my partners.

You make deals with him and he will rip your heart out.

We're not going to step on our fingers.

I'm going to supply, and he's going to transport.

And when we promise to deliver, we will.

That's what I said to Mr. Macgregor back in the mine.

And Mr. Macgregor agreed that the contract will go to whoever delivers.

Ez, I can keep that contract if I get supplies,

My grandfather founded this city and made it possible for you to settle down.

In hard times we transport your merchandise for free to support you.

What good can supplies do if you can not get them through?

All the relations of the world have been changed by the course of things,

the Garrison cargo line is about to prosper.

Mort, you'll go to the ranches east of the river, Will, you on the other side.

Tell them what we need, and that we will accept everything they can.

Ben sees Tom Miller and gets everything you can.

There is only one way to defeat the Murdocks.

Belle, it's all over the city

They say we are afraid to put one foot outside so as not to meet one of them.

Nobody is going to put on me the cowardly brand.

Newt is a gunslinger.

I can match your speed.

With your hand in that condition?

If you really want to help, do not do anything that takes the game to your field.

Wait until we get our supplies.

If we get them, how are we going to deliver them?

I do not know.

But there must be an answer somewhere,

an answer without killing.

I do not see that you do very well grandfather.

I'm not holding it very well.

I do not like how it pulls.

I knew what happened in the store.

Yes,

like a true friend, with a shot between the eyes.

We have to take that merchandise to the Macgregors in some way.

I already sent the boys to all the ranches we know.

All the ranchers need to sell, they will be willing to help us.

That is not the whole problem.

I also knew about the charlatan.

That's.

It does not look like I can get a car through, grandfather.

That requires a better thought.

My mind seems to have a lock on it.

The ideal course would be...

hit the spur without marking the wood.

No, I think I'm not in the mood.

Excuse me, do you have problems?

Let me tell you something Belle, I met a guy once

I had a problem that was a problem.

This guy was called Williams,

He was caught in the middle of a Sioux rebellion.

all the surrounding territory was full of Sioux,

killing all the targets they were trying to cross.

Would you say I had problems, right?

Yes,

I had no way out.

No, but I had a brain.

Do you know how he managed to get out? - No no.

He disguised himself to look just like the Indians who prowled,

they let him go through their own lines.

I imagine all that filled with Indians.

Ah...

Yes...

Grandpa, thank you.

Ad...

Hey, Belle, come back here and this competition ends.

Come here.

Ad, grand...

Just a Newt shot.

Remember that your father taught you to be frugal.

When I move, shoot.

I wait for you

Ad, stop.

Go ahead, Newt, look for it.

Some Murdock wants to try something.

That whip can only come once.

Do not trust your luck,

Ad has a really bad temper.

You had no right to interfere.

I did not want to see you dead.

But we have gone back to where we started,

against the pack of cards.

But we have a letter that we have not yet released.

When will we take it out?

Tonight.

Pa.

What time is it? It's almost dawn.

Pa, the small transport is coming and going.

You wake me up for that.

A wagon goes to the Garrison courtyard.

Gil, Gil, get up, Gil.

Prepare the horses.

Come on, move.

You and Newt load this fast car, get to the road first than her.

What's up, Pa?

That girl is getting ready to go out, got supplies somewhere.

You mean you beat us?

Boy... you have lost confidence in your Pa.

Ahead.

Well, I'm not sure I can say the two look better.

How does it look now, boss?

Like the black ball on the load line.

There will be light in an hour, then you can start it up.

No, we will not wait for clarity, come on Ad.

Oh, Belle...

Mort, take her place.

Stay right where you are.

Grandpa, I can not allow anyone else to take this risk.

You get out of that car, Ad...

Boss... - You just said, I'm the boss.

Make this car move.

You can not do that.

Judge, it does not even occur to me to argue with her when she is like that.

Well, it will be careful.

Hey, they have our brand.

We were not very quick, we let him out first, come on.

Well boy, you know what you have to do.

Pa are them.

Here they come.

No Pa, no...

Stop, stop,

I do not think they would have stopped to help us.

Let's go there.

You have killed them.

You have killed our people.

Red... Red... Newt...

I think a man should not try to do so much for his father.

Do you want us to help you take them?

Do not.

I brought my boys here, I'll take them home.
