[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[HOOVES CLOMPING]

Hey, mister.

You ought to know better
than to try to stake

off somebody else's claim.

Well, sir, this
ain't nobody's claim.

I've been prospecting
up and down

this creek for more
than six months,

and I ain't never seen nobody.

No?

Well, you're seeing
somebody now.

Besides, I've already
filed my papers.

I don't care what you filed.

It's not enough.

You get off of that claim!

From here it looks like you
hit that old man too hard.

Well, maybe I did.

I didn't mean to
hurt the old geezer.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Stony!

Mounties!

[GUNSHOT]

Well, Tim.

Reporting in, sir,
with prisoner Joe Reed.

Congratulations.

Harding.

Book the prisoner,

Nice work, Tim.

Well, we can
scratch this one off.

Another souvenir for you.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Your next assignment,
Tim, will be

on the Blackwater Creek area.

That's where Lewis
was murdered, isn't it?

Yes, and a miner by
the name of Michaels.

Lewis is the second Mountie
to be killed in the area.

There's evidently a
faction there that dislikes

the presence of a red coat.

That's the faction you're after.

You'll have to use your
head and work with caution.

Say, this description
gives me an idea, Inspector.

"Height about 6 feet.

Weight about 170 pounds.

Hair, brown.

Eyes, brown."

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Good morning, Haley.

Ned.

Lewis was killed
over a week ago,

and there hadn't been a single
Mountie around since to ask

any questions.

Well, then what are
you worried about?

I'm not.

Stony Carter says
they haven't even

been out to Blackwater Creek.

And I think it's safe for us
to start digging and start

a branch tunnel into that rich
vein over at the Elliott mine.

Don't be in such a hurry.

Any mine having been abandoned
for a period of a year

is open for filing to anyone.

In only a short time,
the year will have

expired on the Elliott mine.

Then we file, move in, and
the gold will be ours legally.

I guess you know what
you're talking about.

Of course, I do.

Now, come along with me.

I want to post these letters.

Oh, good morning, Mr. Wiggins.

Oh, Miss Linda.

Would you be
interested in a dress?

No, I wouldn't.

Oh, you just
think you wouldn't.

Wilbur Wiggins is a
traveling emporium,

handles nothing but the best.

Let me show you one.

Well, it's lovely but--

NED: Good morning, Linda.

Oh, good morning.

Wiggins trying to sell you
his whole department store?

Trying to is right.

Oh, by the way, did you have any
news about the Michaels murder?

Not yet, but we're
making every effort

to find the murderer.

And when we do, he'll have
the finest little necktie--

Did you say necktie?

I've got the finest neckties
in the Dominion of Canada.

Let me show you one.

Not interested, Wiggins.

Not interested.

Say, mister, aren't
you a stranger in town?

Who wants to know?

I'm Wilbur Wiggins,
a traveling emporium.

I sell the finest
merchandise in the dominion.

I thought you might be
interested in buying a hat.

Wait, I'll show you one.

Say, didn't I see
you in Medicine Hat?

You're Sergeant--

I've never been
to Medicine Hat.

You can say what
you want Sergeant,

but, you know, it's very
important in my business

to remember people, and
I never forget a face.

Do me a favor, will you?

Forget this one.

You know him, huh?

I, uh, was trying
to sell him a hat.

You want to buy one of my hats?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Thanks, Dan.

You think that
fella's the bandit?

I don't know.

[RAGTIME MUSIC]

Whiskey.

Paper money.

You must be a stranger
up around this section.

What are you doing up this way?

Minding my own business.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

My name's Pete Davis.

I didn't hear anybody
ask you your name.

I don't like the way
you talk, stranger.

Well, then quit
asking questions.

Maybe you can answer this one.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

That's enough, Pete!

I don't know what
your name is, partner,

but I'm Haley, the proprietor.

He got what was coming to him.

All right, everybody
up to the bar.

The drinks are on the house.

Go in the office
and wash up, Pete.

Surly case, isn't he?

Come in the office.

You picked on a pretty
tough customer, Pete.

Aw, he-- what did
you stop it for?

Look at this.

"Wanted for murder,
dead or alive.

Joe Reed.

This man is dangerous.

Quick on the draw,
and a deadly shot."

That was Joe Reed,
the most cold-blooded

killer in all of Canada.

The Mounties have been on
his trail for two years.

Well, say, this reward.

We can do something about that--

Uh, no, no.

We'll keep him around a while.

The Mounties are
still investigating

the Michaels case.

And with a killer of his
caliber around these parts,

well, the Michaels killing
added to his list will leave

us in the clear, won't it?

Oh.

It's cheap at half the price.

No, no.

It's the sweetest
cake of smelling

soap you can take a bath with.

For use, read the
directions on the wrapper.

Look, mister, if you think
I'm gonna learn to read in order

to take a bath, you're crazy.

Say, Sergeant.

Forget that Sarge
stuff, will you?

You know a place I can
hole up a couple of days?

I got just the place for you.

Don't tell me carry rooms
on that Christmas tree too?

No, no, no.

Ms. Elliot's.

The best boarding house in town.

I don't want a boarding house.

I want a place I can bunk
for a couple of days.

Well, she's got an extra room.

The one that Mr. Michaels had.

He's the miner that
was killed last week.

Michaels, huh?

It's just a short
walk from here,

and there's a very sweet
little girl over there.

Come on, follow me.

I'll show you.

Linda, I'm only
advising you as a friend.

You're making a big mistake
to even think about it.

Why take the chance
of losing the profit

from your boarding house by
working a worthless mine?

Sentiment, I suppose.

It was about all Dad left me.

But you're right, I can't run a
boarding house and a mine too.

Uh-oh, here comes Mr. Wiggins.

WILBUR: Ms. Linda.

I found a new boarder for you.

Can you make room for him?

Well, what a question.

I can always make room
for a new boarder.

This is Mister--

Reed.

Reed's the name.

I'm Linda Elliot.

And he wants a room, too.

Oh, I'm sorry.

This is Mr. Thompson.

Hiya.

Glad to know you.

If you'll excuse me, Ned, I'll
show this gentleman his room.

I understand.

Well, it's just
like I told you.

The best meal in town, Sergeant.

Just like I told you,
cut out the "Sergeant."

Say, it's a nice
evening out, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Who's this fella Thompson?

He's a lawyer in town,
and a very nice man.

He's a customer of mine.

What about this fella Haley?

He's a customer of mine too.

Yes, I know.

Was he in the saloon when
Lewis and Michaels was killed?

Saloon?

I'm not a drinking man.

I don't frequent saloons.

Yeah?

Where were you?

Well, I was at the sa--

uh, the saloon.

But I wasn't taking
a drink, mind you.

I was selling
merchandise to Haley.

I was selling him a
combination of a corkscrew

and a bottle opener.

Say, tell me about
Linda Elliot here.

Well, her father
had one of the first

claims on Blackwater Creek,
right next to Michaels's.

What happened to him?

Well, he got killed in
a mine accident last year.

What kind of an accident?

Oh.

Excuse me.

I have to go down to the
store for some groceries.

Will you be around for
a while, Mr. Wiggins?

Sure, Linda.

I'll take care of everything.

Do you mind if
I walk with you?

I can carry an awful
lot of groceries.

Well, thank you.

The Mounties must
have posted it.

I saw this fella tear it down.

So the new boarder
is wanted for murder.

He started a fight
with Pete the minute

he walked into the saloon.

Of course, I stopped it.

But once he got out,
I explained to the boy

that it might be wise or
leave him alone for a while.

You say Michaels
was a friend of yours?

Yes, Dad bought him out.

He filed his claim
right next to our mine.

Oh, Wiggins was telling
me about your mine.

What happened to it?

Oh, nothing.

It hasn't been worked
since Dad died.

In fact, I'm won't own it
in another couple of weeks.

Why not?

Well, there's a law
that says that if a mine

hasn't been worked
in a whole year,

it's considered abandoned.

Oh.

Then who gets it?

Oh, the first person who
files a claim for it, I guess.

Why don't you operate it?

Well, a woman
can't run a mine.

Ned says it's practically
worthless, anyway.

That's enough about me.

What do you plan on
doing here in Blackwater?

Well, I hadn't
really made any plans,

but I'd like to look over
your mining property.

What's the matter,
can't you read?

Yeah, I can read.

Imperial Mining Company.

Also says no trespassing.

So it does.

Who are you?

Stony Carter.

I'm the watchman here.

Who do I see
about getting a job?

Nobody.

Well, you had to see somebody
to get yours, didn't you?

Yeah, to keep guys like
you from getting too nosy.

Pretty handy with that rifle?

Just as handy as you
are with them pistols.

See that clump of trees
over my right shoulder?

There's some fella
over there watching me.

If I was to clear those
branches, he could see better,

couldn't he?

[GUNSHOTS]

[YELLING]

Please, don't shoot!

I'm not doing anything!

Say, mister.

See you later, Stony.

You seen him shooting at me.

Why didn't you plug him?

Aw, he wasn't shooting at you.

I should have
plugged him, though.

I don't know why I didn't.

Phew.

Say!

That's a fine big
horse you got there.

I'd like to trade
my mule for him.

Maybe some other time.

I just met a fella
named Stony Carter.

Did you ever hear of him?

Stony Carter?

Oh, yeah, he's a foreman down
there at the mine at the creek.

He's a nice fella.

You know, he--

Yes, I know.

He's one of your best customers.

You know, Wiggins,
before I'm through,

you're liable to lose a lot of
those good customers of yours.

Well, Reed, what do you
think of our little town

after your first day here?

Well, I can tell
you one thing.

What's that?

Ms. Linda serves the
finest food of any boarding

house I've ever eaten in.

The finest and the
biggest helpings.

As a matter of fact, I want
to take a long walk right

now to help digest that meal.

Say, I'll walk along with you.

I'd like to ask your
advice about something.

I'll bet he tries to
sell him some law books.

(LAUGHING) Yes.

There doesn't seem to be
anything that he doesn't

carry in those sample cases.

I took a ride out
to your mine today.

You didn't find
any gold, did you?

No, but I'd like to be
given the chance to work it,

just in case I could find some.

Well, I told you,
it's worthless.

That's Thompson's
idea, isn't it?

Oh, I couldn't pay you, that
is, unless you found gold.

Well, that's a chance
I'd like to take.

Well, that's wonderful.

But of course I'd have
to ask Ned about it.

What's he got to do with it?

Well, he's been advising me.

He's the one friend I have.

Well, if he's a friend
of yours, I'm sure

he'd want it to be a success.

Yes, I'm sure he would.

I hope I'm not
too late for lunch.

Oh, I think I can
give you a crumb or two.

Now what was that
question again?

I wanted to know if I could
marry my widow's sister.

Well, there's nothing in
the law that says you can't.

Well, wait a minute.

If your wife were a widow,
you'd have to be dead.

And if you were dead, you
couldn't marry anybody.

Yeah, but I thought if you
just had a licence and you went

over to get Robert [INAUDIBLE]
and you didn't have

a [INAUDIBLE],, I
thought all you had do

was just go [INAUDIBLE]
enforce marriage,

and they'd [INAUDIBLE].

Then they had to order
more from [INAUDIBLE]..

That was just my opinion.

Sure you're on the right
track by working that mine?

I'd bet my chance
at promotion, sir.

Then why hasn't somebody
tried to stop you?

I can't figure
that out either.

But one thing I do know.

Linda's father wasn't killed
by a cave-in like they said.

Why, the timbers in that
mine are as solid as a rock.

Maybe she had them fixed?

No, I asked her
about that too.

In fact, I've asked
everybody about everything

except who killed Ralph Lewis.

All right, Tim.

I'm depending on you.

Thank you.

Report in as usual
and keep me posted.

Yes, sir.

[CLATTERING]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Can't you read, Stony?

Sure, I can read.

Then why don't you?

I agree with Haley.

He serves a purpose, and
I say leave him alone.

Anyway, in a few days
the mine will be ours.

But I've been
watching him work.

It ain't gonna be long when he's
gonna hit that rich vein that

leads from our mine.

Maybe we could
hold him up a little.

Hold him up?

An underground river
used to flood that mine.

Held up operations considerably.

That's why they
built that big flume.

It took the river water off
its course a couple of miles

upstream.

Now, just accidentally,
of course,

a large boulder
could roll from above

and crash into that flume.

It'd take him a long time
to get that seepage out.

Haley, I think you've
got something there.

That boulder is practically
on its way down the mountain.

[LAUGHS]

[WATER SPLASHING]

Hey, Stony, come on over!

I found gold!

Take a look at this.

I'm going into town
to have it assayed.

Well, there might
be some gold in it.

Mostly mica.

Yeah, that's what you think.

[WHISTLES]

[RAGTIME MUSIC]

Here comes your friend, Pete.

Now, keep your head.

Hello, Haley.

Hello.

Look what I found.

I'm on the way to
the assayer's office.

I thought I'd drop in
and buy the boys a drink.

Set 'em up, Jack.

It's on the house.

I've get a magnifying
glass in here, come on.

Funny thing the
way I found that.

An underground river washed
away a gravel pocket,

and there it was.

Where's Haley?

In the office.

This came out of
the Elliot claim, eh?

Hey, Haley, that--

Hello, Stony.

You almost beat me here.

Uh, yeah, uh--

I forgot I promised Haley
I'd meet him here at noon.

Yeah, I was wondering
what happened to you, Stony.

He was showing me that
stuff out at the mine.

That mica fools a
lot of 'em, don't it?

Yep, it's mica, all right.

That's why they
call it fool's gold.

If you both think you can make
a fool out of me, you're wrong.

I'm taking this to
the assay office.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You're back early.

Is anything wrong at the mine?

A little water
seeped in, that's all.

Linda, I want you to go
to Ned Thompson's office

and have him make
out an affidavit

that you've been
working your mine.

Why?

Because the stage
leaves tomorrow

morning for Rebelstone.

The recorder there will
file your affidavit,

and the mine will be good
as long as you work it.

Well, I understand
that, but I can't--

And stay in Thompson's
office while he makes it out.

Get Wiggins to witness
your signature,

and then take it to the post
office and mail it yourself.

You're so mysterious.

If only you'd tell me--

Linda, you and I
have been working

together now for two weeks.

If you trust me,
you'll do as I say.

When you come back from the post
office, ride out to the mine.

I want to talk to you.

Is there anything
else you want?

Yes.

Right now, I want
to go back to work.

[WHISTLES]

Well, Ned, turning that
water into the Reed dig

wasn't so good.

What do you mean?

Washed out a gravel pocket,
exposed our vein of high grade.

Hmm.

So you got tangled up
in your own rope, huh?

Now do we go out and shoot him
like I wanted to do all along?

News of a gold strike
travels like wildfire.

The whole town will
learn about it.

But what difference
does it make?

He's wanted.

We'd do the town a
favor by killing him.

Can't you think of
anything else but killing?

Haley, suppose you threaten to
turn him over to the Mounties.

I'll bet he'd make a deal.

I wonder.

Why, sure he would.

He'd even sell out Linda
Elliot if he thought

he could stay out
of jail and get

out of town with a few
dollars in his pocket.

Make him an offer.

Promise him anything.

All right.

Come on, Stony.

May I come in?

Of course, Linda.

Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.

Some other time, Wiggins.

I'm busy just now.

Oh, Mr. Wiggins came
along with me as a witness.

A witness?

Yes, I'd like to have you
draw up the necessary papers

for me to maintain
possession of the mine.

I can't understand
your decision.

It's strange that--

Oh, there's nothing
strange about it, Ned.

I've been working the mine,
and I'm entitled to file.

Well, whatever you say, Linda.

I'll draw up the
papers tomorrow.

Oh, well-- oh,
well, I was in hopes

you could do it this afternoon.

Or if you'll show me how,
I'll be glad to do it.

You see, I've got to
get them off on the mail

stage the first
thing in the morning.

Very well.

Oh, hi, Reed.

We came up to apologize
for hurting your feelings.

Yeah, we didn't
mean to make you sore.

Hey, show us where you
found that piece of rock.

You sure you feel
all right, Stony?

Never mind that, Stony.

How much of that vein
have you uncovered?

You're as bad as Stony.

I don't come down to
your saloon asking how

much beer you've sold, do I?

Joe Reed's wanted for murder.

We came here to
give you a break.

Yeah.

We could do the
government a favor

and shoot you right
here on the spot.

Why don't you?

Well, we figure
we can do business.

Stony and I own the
Imperial Mining Company

adjoining this property.

Oh, so you two are the
Imperial Mining Company, huh?

Yeah.

That's right, and we want
to take over this mine.

What do you feel it's worth?

Oh, $75,000.

That's $25,000
each then, isn't it?

25,000?

Sure.

There's no one else you
have to cut in, is there?

Uh, we'll give you $5,000 and
forget we ever saw Joe Reed.

What do I have to do?

See that Linda Elliot doesn't
find out about that gold.

And don't do any more digging.

Well, I'll tell
you what I'll do.

I'll think it over and
let you know tonight.

All right.

Hello, Linda.

LINDA: Where are you going?

Well, I--

I thought I'd ride into town.

I mailed that letter.

Letter?

Oh.

Oh, good.

Joe, what's wrong?

SERGEANT TIM: Nothing.

But you act so strange.

First I'm mysterious,
now I'm strange.

Come on, let's ride
back into town.

[KNOCKING]

Come in.

All right, Haley.

I'm here to talk
business with you.

I'm not so sure I want
to talk business with you.

Yeah?

Why the change of heart?

Because you double-crossed me.

You told Linda Elliot
about that vein.

What makes you think so?

Because she filed an affidavit
for a renewal of the claim.

All right, I told
her to file it.

But I've gotta keep
myself in the clear.

That shouldn't worry you.

It don't, 'cause
her affidavit's not

getting through.

We're holding up
that mail stage.

Oh, a stickup, huh?

Say, that's right down my line.

I can show you how
to pull that job.

You're in.

How about our deal?

I'll have the money
for you tomorrow.

Good.

Do we split on the mail robbery?

Sure.

I'll show you how
we're gonna do it.

You say Linda Elliott's
papers are on the mail stage?

That's right, sir.

The gang knows it too.

As a matter of fact, they
plan to hold up the stage

at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

All right, Tim,
put on your uniform.

Here's where we
round them all up.

No, not so fast, Inspector.

Remember, I'm Joe Reed.

I'm going to show them
how to pull the job.

[CHUCKLES] I see.

Have some of the
men at the river

crossing just north of town.

Hide them in a clump
of trees there.

I'll lead the gang in
from over the hill.

We'll be there.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, uh, one other
thing, Inspector.

Be sure and tell the men that,
in case there's any gunfire,

that I'm riding a gray horse.

We'll take care of you, Tim.

Good luck, now.

Thank you.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Throw down those mail bags.

Let's go, men.

[HOOVES CLOMPING]

[GUNSHOTS]

On your way, driver.

Well, it's just like I said.

Somebody must have tipped
them off, because we no sooner

than got our hands on the
mail bags, and all of a sudden

there were Mounties
in every direction.

And they got Kenny, huh?

Yeah, Jack and Breezy too.

[KNOCKING]

Oh, come in, Ned.

I just learned
something that should

be of interest to all of us.

What is it?

Well, Joe Reed--

that is, the real Joe Reed--
is a prisoner at the Mounted

Police headquarters.

What?

This other fella is a Mountie.

Mountie!

Yes, and we'd better stop
him before he learns too much,

or else you boys might
hang for that Lewis

and Michaels episode.

Pete, go over to the boarding
house and see if he's there.

Now, don't bet on
anything's wrong.

Tell him I've got
his money for him.

Right.

Stony, get up to your room.

I'll be standing out front.

And when you see this skunk
come across the street,

put a couple of
slugs in his back.

It'll be a pleasure.

You can go back to
your office, Thompson.

We'll take care of it.

Fine.

LINDA: Joe, I want
to talk to you.

I haven't got time right now.

You had time to talk to
Stony Carter and Haley.

I saw you out at the mine
with them yesterday afternoon.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Carter works the mine
next to yours, and Haley--

And Haley runs a saloon, where
the roughest element in town

hang out.

Well, what's that
got to do with it?

I just heard that
three of Haley's men

were killed during a
stage holdup this morning.

You were gone all night last
night and most of the morning.

I was just wondering--

Linda, I have nothing
to do with Haley's gang.

I wish I could believe that.

Maybe tonight I'll
tell you more about it.

PETE: Reed.

Haley wants to see you.

Says he's got your
money for you.

Your share in the
holdup, no doubt.

Get on that horse.

Be quick about it.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to take
him to the mine,

unless you want me
to make a jail out

of your boarding house.

Cross your hands over that horn.

Here, keep this
gun leveled on him.

When I get through
with you, mister,

I'm coming back here to arrest
a few others for the killing

of Lewis and Michaels.

Arrests are usually made
by the Mounted Police.

That's right.

A Mountie.

Saddle my horse,
Pierre, and hurry!

I have to go to the mine.

Hey, tell Haley--

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Thanks.

That saves me from coming
back into town after him.

Haley!

The fella that had a fight
with Pete the other day

is holding a gun on him
and heading for the mine.

Stony!

Come down here, quick!

Get on your horse.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Linda!

Reed's going to the
mine, and the Haley gang

are going there to kill him.

You better hurry
quick and notify him.

Thanks, Mr. Wiggins.

On your horse, Stony!

We're heading for the mine!

[WHOOPING]

Get in there.

Get over there.

When your friend Haley
comes through that door,

I'm gonna drop him fast.

There's a rope that
goes around your neck.

You ain't got nothing on me.

No?

Stony tells me that you
killed Michaels and Lewis.

Stony's a liar.

He also told me that you're
the brains of this outfit.

Me?

Brains?

[LAUGHS]

Ned Thomps--

Oh, Ned Thompson, huh?

Yeah.

Thompson tells Haley, and
Haley tells the rest of us.

Well, here comes
your friend Haley.

Watch me drop him when he
comes through that door.

They're almost here.

Haley and his men are
coming to kill you.

Yes, I know.

Well, get out of here quick.

Here, keep his
gun leveled on him,

and don't be afraid to use it.

[GUNSHOTS]

We'll burn that door down.

Keep low and follow me.

Throw that brush in there.

The Elliot mine, eh?

That's about two miles
north of Blackwater.

Yes, sir, Inspector.

You have to come
through town anyway,

so I'll pick up with you and
take you directly to the mine.

Very well, Wiggins.

We'll be there on the double.

What are we going to do?

What are we going to do?

Linda.

Linda, are you all right?

[GUNSHOTS]

Put out that fire!

Linda, it's the Mounties.

Come on.

Harding, how'd you
men happen to get here?

Well, I guess
you'll have to give

your thanks to that little
fella in the derby hat, Tim.

Hi, Sergeant!

I never forget a face.

BOTH: Wiggins!

Tim!

Oh, it's so good to see you.

It's nice seeing
you too, Linda.

I've got news for you.

Well?

Ned Thompson was sent
to prison for life.

Well, that is good news.

And you don't have to run this
boarding house anymore either.

I've hired an expert
miner and a full crew

to run your mine for you.

Linda, you're rich.

Very rich.

I got the best wedding
rings in the whole Dominion

of Canada.

Well, let's see 'em.

Yes, sir!
