Once we get them underway, they'll head for their home range.

Take out the horses. I'll go after him.

Thank you.

Hey, Carson's got Turner.

You tell me, who shot Brown and ran off my horses?

I don't know. You don't know?

And if you won't talk to me, you'll talk to the judge and make the city.

You're in the badlands, mister, and you'll never get out of here alive.

We'll see about that. Get on your horse.

He's liable to talk.

We can get Carson before he gets Turner into town. That's right.

Rocky Pass is the place to ambush him.

We'll both get Carson.

Well, I think I hit him, Turner.

That's right, Red.

Carson.

You and Steve are wanted for horse-stealing and murder.

Throw those guns away.

I'll get down off those horses.

And this is one of the men that ran him off.

Why hasn't the stage left, Ellie?

Well, we've been having a little trouble.

I'll take him on down to the sheriff.

And then as soon as I get some men to help Puzzy round up the herd, I'll be

back. Come on, Red.

What's that?

Red's been thrown in jail.

We sure got ourselves in a tight spot.

Yes. Things didn't work out like I figured.

Well, I did the best I could. I'm not blaming you any, Steve.

We can't let Red go to trial.

He'll talk to save his neck.

Oh, I'll have him out of jail before that happens. If you can do that, Steve,

we'll make it so hot for Carson, he'll wish he never was born.

Well, I'm ready to go to work, Sally.

Thanks, Billy, but I'm doubtful if there's anything you can do.

Why not?

The men refuse to work.

They do?

Where are they? Not in the wagon yard.

By the way, how's your dad?

Oh, he's fine. The doc said it'll be months before he's up and around again.

Well, we'll keep things going.

You better stay in here, son.

What's holding up the stage from leaving now?

What's it to you?

From now till Farrell gets back on the job again, I'm running this outfit.

Maybe you're ready to pay our wages.

They do today?

They've been due for over a month.

Well, you'll get them.

Now, Al, get this stage a-rolling.

You men, clean up this mess.

Nothing to do until somebody shells out our pay. I said you'd get it.

Now, either you men start to work, or I'll get some men in here that will.

Nobody else or any other man will turn a wheel until we're paid.

You heard what I said.

Satisfied? No.

But I've had enough.

It was his idea.

Well, now you get to work or get out.

You mean it about paying those wages? I never meant anything more.

Well, I'm willing to gamble. That's fine. Now, from now on, you handle this

end. Get yourself a hustler that can fight, and you'll be paid fighting

wages. Same thing goes all the way down the line.

Now, get to work.

Come on, Sally.

He don't lose any time when he gets going.

You had to say what you said to the men, Billy, but I'm afraid we can't pay them.

Can't pay them? Why not?

We're running low on cash.

Dad was arranging for a loan when he was shot.

Well, I'll advance you all the money that you need until your dad's back on

his feet again. Oh, I couldn't let you do that, Billy.

Why?

All right.

I'll agree to it on one condition.

What's that?

That you take a mortgage on the franchise and equipment we have.

That won't be necessary.

Well, probably not, but it's business.

We'll go over to Higgins' office and have him draw up the papers right away.

All right, if that's the way you want it, Sally.

I'll clean up and then I'll meet you at his office, okay? Okay.

I want you to draw up a chattel mortgage in Billy's favor on the stage line for

money he's advancing in the next three months.

How much are you advancing?

Just enough to keep the work going.

Do you want to specify the amount that Carson is giving?

No. Billy has to start paying bills today, so I'd appreciate it if you'd

arrange the legal end right away.

Well, you come in in about an hour. Everything will be ready. Thanks, Mr.

Higgins. I'll bring the money in on my next run, Sally.

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way! The prisoner's escaped!

The prisoner's escaped!

That prisoner you brought in escaped.

Steve Lacey hit me over the head and free. Hit you over the head? How long

ago?

10 or 15 minutes ago.

Probably on the way to the Badlands by now.

Well, I'm going to try to catch him before they get there. Listen, I'd like

to go with you, Sheriff, but I've got a mail run to make. Good luck.

Thanks. Come on, Sally.

to give Steve a chance to get to work. We've got to wreck both the stage line

and the Pony Express.

Carson's got to be stopped from bringing that money.

Don't worry.

Steve Lacey will stop him.

Tell all the boys to get ready. We're right.

Bad land's just ahead.

Can't go any farther.

Now, put your hands up.

I want that base coat's money you're carrying.

We're on to you, Carson. We know every move you make.

Where's the money?

Right in that saddlebag.

Hand it to me.

Okay.

All right, get up, Steve.

You're going in the sound with me.

Left

hand,

shoes loose.

Sign it up, will you, for me? Sure.

Delegate, is me going yet?

No. I wish I'd have gone with him.

Well, we've driven most of that wild bunch back into the Badlands.

You should have kept them there in the first place. Then they wouldn't have

gotten away with what they did.

I can't do the impossible.

Hey, Fudd.

Get off him.

Where'd you pick him up, Billy? Over in the Rocky Canyon.

Tried to bushwhack me, Sheriff.

You jambled on your luck just once too often, Steve.

Maybe and maybe not.

Hey, it's a cinch we can find out from him who's behind the attacks on a

stagecoach in a Pony Express.

Start talking. Take it easy, Buzz. He doesn't have to say anything about that.

I know.

You know?

And you ain't done nothing about it? It doesn't make sense, Billy.

When Steve's man held me up, he mentioned money I was bringing in to

keep the stage line going.

Till Farrell could get back on the job again.

Now, only three people besides myself knew about that.

Sally, Higgins, and Stone.

Well, you can count Sally out. That leaves Higgins and Stone.

Isn't that right, Steve?

I'll throw him in the who's go.

That won't do any good. Without proof to back up my claim, we'll never get a

conviction.

Wipe that smile off of your mug before I knock it off.

Oh, Billy.

Turn Steve over to me.

I'll make him talk.

I've got a better idea than that.

Now, Fuzz, you go over and pick up Stone.

Bring him over to the corral and...

All right, Sheriff. Get around the side window and keep your gun on.

Come on in here, Steve.

Take this.

Now, you got two guns on.

Do as I told you, understand?

Now, get going.

What are you doing here, Steve?

I told you not to come to this office.

Well, I couldn't get back into Badlands, and I had to get rid of it.

Run into trouble?

Get the answer, please.

You take care of Higgins.

Sheriff, round up all the men you can and follow me.

We'll go right in the Badlands if we have to. All right, get your horses,

men. We're riding.

I don't know what went wrong, but Higgins and Steve have been arrested.

Carson's on our heels with a posse.

We'll have to fight them all.

I'll take care of him.

She didn't get around behind him.

Pick him up.

Drop your gun.

We got them all, Carson. That's fine.

That's good, huh?

Get on that stage, but we're going over the coast, Bill. You take care of things

here, Sherman.

That thing don't get here pretty soon that sure won't do us any good It

comes

up Have

you got that term you back it come on

Yeah, look mighty good.

Don't you kind of hate to see the end of the Pony Express?

I sure do, but it served its purpose.

You know, things change, Sally. We've got to change with them.

Do you think that'll ever happen to the Farrell and Carson stage line?

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.

You know, with new territories opening up and civilization moving westward,

business is bound to develop.

And we'll develop right with it. We'll be the biggest outfit west of the

Rockies. You're forgetting the railroads. They won't be sitting around.

You know, someday, Sally, they're going to have a railroad in every town and

hamlet in the country.

As soon as you were in your pretty head about that.

It's a long time coming.

In the meantime, we've a job to do. That's right.

Where's Fuzzy?

Outside, shooing my horse. He should be here any minute.

You know, Sally, that's the first time I

ever heard of a horse shooing a man.

Oh, Billy.

I never thought your horses would do that to me. What are you talking about,

Fuzzy? Horseshoes are lucky. They've always been lucky.

That's right. Sure.

Give me those.

This is good luck to our new company.
