YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA WRITE A SONG ABOUT YOU, SUE ?

NEVER MIND THE SONGS. DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE ?

I SUSPECT WE'RE SOMEPLACE EAST OF JEFFERSON LANG AND HEADIN' FOR DEEP TROUBLE.

AW, SUE. LET'S GO BACK TO HOLLYWOOD AND-AND TELL 'EM IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

WE'LL TELL HIM AND THEN GO BACK.

I'LL PUT IN A CALL AT THE NEXT TOWN.

YOU DIDN'T PUT A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE. IT'S A COMEDY. REMEMBER ?

HOW ARE THESE PROPORTIONS, MR. LANG ?

STEVE, THEY'RE OFF. WHY DON'T YOU STICK TO YOUR CUE SHEET ?

LOOK. DING-DONG DONKEY IS A WESTERN CHARACTER.

KEEP HIM BROAD AND RUGGED. ALL RIGHT, SIR.

MM-HMM. THERE, NOW. THAT'S BETTER. BOY MEETS GIRL.

MR. LANG ? MR. LANG ?

WHAT IS IT, MISS PRICE ? LONG DISTANCE CALL FROM SUE WARNER.

HERE. KEEP KNOCKIN' ON THAT, STEVE.

WE'RE READY FOR MISS WARNER. GOOD OL' SUE.

MY TROUBLES ARE OVER. DO YOU THINK SHE'S FOUND A SINGER ?

SURE. AND I'VE GOT THE LAUGH ON THOSE BIG-NAME CROONERS WHO TURNED ME DOWN...

BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T SING WITH AN ANIMATED CARTOON.

HAH !

SUSIE, PET, YOU'VE DONE IT ! WHO IS HE, WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM AND WHERE ARE YA ?

IN WHISPERING ROCK. A TOWN ? [ Laughs ]

IT'S A MUD PIE WITH PEOPLE.

[ Laughs ] A MUD PIE WITH PEOPLE, SHE SAYS.

OH. HURRY BACK. WE NEED YOU HERE FOR THE LAUGHS.

[ Laughing ]

UM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO SOAP ?

THE TRIP'S A BUST. WE'VE AUDITIONED EVERY COWHAND IN THE WEST.

THESE ROOKIES JUST CAN'T CUT IT, JEFF. WE'RE BYPASSING THIS BURG.

IF YOU TURN UP HERE WITHOUT THAT SINGING FIND...

YOU WERE TO FIND, YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF OUT OF A JOB,

INCLUDING NELSON BLY.

NO ALIBIS ! I WANT ACTION. I'M ALL SET TO RECORD THESE NUMBERS, AND YOU LET ME DOWN.

DO YOU EXPECT ME TO SING FOR THE DONKEY ?

YOU'VE GOT A BIG ENOUGH MOUTH FOR IT. THAT'S TELLIN' HIM.

NELLIE, GO OUT AND BRING THE BAGS IN,

AND I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE USE OF THE LOBBY.

YOU MEAN, WE'VE GOT TO AUDITION MORE OF THESE CACTUS CROONERS ?

THE MAN SAID THAT.

[ Rings ]

UH, HOW COME YOU GOT ONE OF THEM JEEPS, MISTER ? GIFT FROM THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING REAL HEROIC.

YES, I-I WROTE THE SONG THAT KEPT THE INFANTRY MARCHING.

IN THE WAR, I WAS A DOGFACE.

YES.

OH. LET'S FORGET THE WHOLE THING. SHALL WE ?

GOSH. I NEVER MET UP WITH A REAL SONGWRITER BEFORE.

THAT'S FINE. YOUR EDUCATION IS MOVING AHEAD BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

WHY, DO YOU KNOW THAT AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN THIS VERY HOTEL...

THERE'S A TALENT SCOUT FROM HOLLYWOOD...

WAITING TO TAKE SOME LUCKY COWBOY OUT OF THIS LO-- UH, THIS LOVELY LITTLE CITY ?

FOR WHAT WOULD A COWBOY LEAVE WHISPERING ROCK ?

WELL, TO GET A CONTRACT WITH PARAGON PICTURES, INC.

DOIN' WHAT ? WHAT'S YOUR ANGLE, MISTER ?

ARE YOU KIDDIN' ? I DON'T GO FOR KIDDIN', MISTER.

MAYBE YOU BETTER STATE YOUR BUSINESS PLAINER.

YES, I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.

[ Clears Throat ] WELL, IT'S LIKE THIS.

WERE THOSE HIS FINAL WORDS ? NO, UH--

HE SAID THAT AS SOON AS MR. NELLIE CAN NEGOTIATE...

THE SEAT OF HIS PANTS TO THE SEAT OF HIS JEEP,

HE'LL THANK YOU FOLKS TO VAMOOSE.

I NEVER KNEW GENE TO BE SO ORNERY.

AND YOU WILL REALLY SEE A STAMPEDE. [ Horses Approaching ]

NOW, LOOK, MISS, UH-- OH, WARNER. SUE WARNER.

AS JODY TOLD YOU, I'M WITH PARAGON STUDIOS.

AND IF YOU'D LISTEN, YOU MIGHT OVERCOME YOUR PRESENT DIFFICULTIES.

MR. AUTRY, I'M IN A POSITION TO OFFER YOU A CONTRACT IN PICTURES.

NO, THANKS. I'M A COWHAND. AND I'LL STAY BEING ONE.

WHAT UTTER SELFISHNESS, PUTTING THOSE PERFECTLY DARLING BOYS OUT OF A JOB...

AND-- AND LOSING THIS ADORABLE RANCH...

WHEN YOU COULD MAKE ENOUGH IN ONE PICTURE TO SQUARE EVERYTHING.

NOW, HOW WOULD I LOOK IN THE MOVIES ? WELL, JUST AS YOU DO NOW.

IT'S A WESTERN PICTURE WITH MUSIC AND SONGS.

WELL, YOU'LL BE RIGHT AT HOME.

I WOULDN'T FEEL AT HOME ANYWHERE WITHOUT JODY AND CHAMPION.

WELL, BRING THE TWO BOYS ALONG.

WELL, CHAMPION IS MY HORSE.

OH, WELL. NATURALLY YOU HAVE TO RIDE, SO I'LL HIRE HIM TOO.

YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ACTOR OUT OF HIM ? MM-HMM.

AND YOUR HORSE HAS HORSE SENSE, SO HE'LL GRAB THE OFFER.

YEAH, BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SING.

OH. THAT SHOULDN'T WORRY YOU FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD.

OH, NELLIE. PLAY MR. AUTRY ONE OF YOUR TUNES.

MAYBE YOU'LL BE OUT OUR WAY AGAIN SOME TIME AND STOP IN FOR A BETTER LOOK.

AH. IS THIS AN INVITATION ? SURE.

IT'S THE WAY I PRESENTED IT TO YOU.

NO, IT ISN'T. YOU SAID THERE'D BE A PART FOR CHAMP.

I CAN'T RIDE A HORSE INTO A MICROPHONE.

AND YOU ? I JUST CAME ALONG FOR THE RIDE.

WELL, GENE, I'M AFRAID-- I'M AFRAID TOO.

WELL, THERE'S BEEN A FEW LAST-MINUTE CHANGES IN THE SCRIPT.

BUT NOT IN OUR DEAL. I TOOK YOU AT YOUR WORD.

WELL, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT ?

WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT CHANGES IN THE SCRIPT.

ALL I'VE DONE IS SING INTO A MICROPHONE. AND ONE MORE SONG TO GO.

I'M NOT RECORDING IT. HEY. YOU'RE NOT GETTING TEMPERAMENTAL ?

NO. BUT IF CHAMP'S PART OF THE DEAL IS OUT, I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN TAKEN IN.

OH, OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T. WE SHOOT THE SCENE TOMORROW.

WELL, WE ARE. YOU'RE ONE OF THE REASONS I TAKE VITAMINS. WHAT IS IT NOW ?

OH, I GAVE GENE THAT WESTERN-PICTURE ROUTINE.

YOU KNOW, MAKING WITH THE GALLOPING HORSE.

WELL, NOW HE'S HOLDING ME TO IT. I DO THINK THIS DECEPTION IS ENTIRELY UNETHICAL.

WELL, IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET HIM HERE.

YOU HAVE NO HESITANCY IN MAKING A FOOL OF A PERFECTLY NICE PERSON.

I KNOW HE'S NICE. IN FACT, I-I THINK HE'S SWELL.

AND SINCE WHEN DID YOU APPOINT YOURSELF HIS GUARDIAN ?

YES. YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS.

YOU KEEP YOUR FEET OFF OF MY DESK. AND YOU, STOP DROOLING ABOUT THAT COWBOY.

OH, I'M NOT. I'M ONLY THINKING THAT-- DON'T THINK.

YOU'RE PAID TO WORK. PRICE, HAVE PAYROLL GIVE AUTRY A CHECK,

AND GET HIM OFF THE LOT. AW, JEFF. PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK.

LET GENE JUST DO ONE SCENE AND GO HOME WITHOUT FINDING OUT WHAT A HEEL I AM.

I DON'T INTEND TO SPEND A WAD OF DOUGH BUILDING SETS AND HIRING ACTORS.

AND GET YOUR FEET OFF OF MY DESK !

WE'D BETTER BE NICE TO HIM. WE'VE GOT ONE MORE SONG TO GET OUT OF HIM.

- OH. - AND THE PREVIEW SCHEDULED IN TEN DAYS.

AND TO FURTHER KEEPING THE COSTS AT A MINIMUM, THIS LITTLE GROUP COULD PARTICIPATE.

- HAVE I SAID TOO MUCH ? - HAS SHE SAID TOO MUCH ?

YES. YES. BUT IT ALL MAKES SENSE. YEAH.

I COULD RIG UP A PHONY SCENE.

IF YOU LIT ON YOUR HEAD, IT MIGHT KNOCK SOME SENSE BACK INTO IT.

I GET IT. BUT CAN YOU TAKE IT ? SEE IF AUTRY'S READY !

WE'LL SHOW 'EM, WON'T WE, CHAMP ?

NOW, A LITTLE BIT HERE, A LITTLE BIT HERE-- HEY.

DON'T RUN AT ME WITH THAT THING. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ARMED.

WELL, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE HERE DRESSED IN THIS OUTFIT.

I OFTEN PLAY BITS IN PICTURES.

BITS ? OH. THAT'S A SMALL PART.

I ASKED TO PLAY THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE...

A LITTLE MORE AT EASE IF I PLAYED THE SCENE WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NOW YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU ? YEAH.

WELL, NOW YOU'VE GOT THE ACTION STRAIGHT IN YOUR MIND. NOW, HERE'S YOUR DIALOGUE.

YOU DISMOUNT AND WALK OVER TO SUE AND SAY,

[ All ] "HOWDY, MA'AM." HOWDY.

AND THEN A SHOT RINGS OUT. YOU MEAN THEY'RE GONNA SHOOT HIM JUST FOR SAYIN' THAT ?

NOBODY'S GOING TO SHOOT HIM.

WELL, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SHOOT ME FOR GETTIN' MIXED UP IN THIS.

WELL, LET'S GET INSIDE WHERE IT'S DARK.

DANGED IF YOU AIN'T BLUSHIN' LIKE A PRAIRIE PERIWINKLE.

YEAH. BUT WE'RE PROUD OF YA, AND WE WANT THOSE STUDIO OFFICIALS TO KNOW IT. AAH.

IT'S MY GUESS DING-DONG DONKEY WILL ROLL 'EM IN THE AISLES.

UH-HUH. SAY. WHY DON'T YOU STOP CARRYING A TORCH FOR THAT COWBOY ?

I HAVE. THE INCIDENT IS CLOSED.

I'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

IF YOU EVER DO, DEAR, YOU BETTER DUCK.

AND YOU TOO, JEFF, IN CASE HE HAPPENS TO HAVE HIS SHOOTIN' IRONS WITH HIM.

HEAVENS ! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE WIRING.

WIRING WHAT TO WHO ? HUH ? THE DATE OF THE PREVIEW.

ONE SIMPLY DOESN'T DISREGARD AN OFFICIAL TELEGRAM FROM THE MAYOR OF WHISPERING ROCK.

OH, LET ME AT HER. [ Groans ] THEY'LL SHOOT ME !

QUIET. OH, JEFF. DON'T GET EXCITED.

[ Clears Throat ] I THINK-- I DON'T FEEL WELL. I SHOULD JU--

WELL, STICK AROUND FOR THE FIREWORKS. I AIM TO MAKE THIS A BANG-UP OCCASION.

IT'S YOUR AIM THAT SEEMS TO BE WORRYING HIM.

W-WELL, GENE. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE.

WELL, THE MAYOR FELT IT HIS CIVIC DUTY TO DRAG ME BACK TO HOLLYWOOD FOR THIS PREVIEW.

FRANKLY, I FEEL JUST A LITTLE BIT SKITTISH.

BUT IF I CAN SIT WITH YOU-- UH, PARDON ME.

UH, SUE, THEY'RE WAITING FOR US. YOU'LL EXCUSE US, WON'T YOU ? YES, UH--

AW, COME ON, GENE. SIT WITH US.

[ Man ] HERE THEY COME NOW. [ Talking, Indistinct ]

[ Sniffles, Blows Nose ] HERE. WIPE YOUR FACE.

HIYA, DING-DONG.

ALL RIGHT, GULLIVER YOU'VE HAD YOUR LAUGH. NOW FORGET ABOUT IT.

YOU SURE LET THAT GAL FAST-TALK YOU INTO MAKIN' A HOLY SHOW OUT OF YOURSELF.

I SAID FORGET ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY AS LONG AS YOU'RE WORKIN' FOR ME.

SHOULD'VE SEEN HER, BOYS. PRETTY AS ALL GET OUT. AND SLIPPERY AS AN EEL.

ALL RIGHT. GO BY THE RANCH AND PICK UP YOUR GEAR. YOU'RE THROUGH.

HE REALLY GOT IT. GET UP, GULLIVER.

COME ON. GET UP, YOU BIG OX.

I AIN'T TAKIN' THIS. I'LL GET AUTRY.

AND DON'T MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.

YOU HAD HIM, AND HE WHIPPED YOU FAIR AND SQUARE.

HALF YOUR SIZE, AND HE TOOK YOU TO THE CLEANERS.

OH, MR. GULLIVER.

OH. CAN I HELP YOU ?

MAYBE THIS WILL REVIVE YOU. HERE.

AW, GET THAT STUFF AWAY FROM ME.

WELL, YOUR EAR'S BLEEDING. AW, QUIT FUSSIN' AT ME.

BAD ENOUGH I GOT FIRED ON ACCOUNT OF YOU AND THAT JACKASS MOVIE.

I-I'M AWFULLY SORRY. WELL, SAVE YOUR SYMPATHY FOR AUTRY.

HE'LL NEED IT BEFORE I GET THROUGH WITH HIM.

YOU SIT HERE. THERE'S A DRUGSTORE. I'LL GET SOMETHING TO FIX YOU UP.

WHOA.

NEVER SAW HIM SO BURNED UP. NOT A WORD OUT OF HIM ALL THE WAY OUT HERE.

I THINK GENE FIRED GULLIVER AS A WARNIN' TO ANYBODY WHO AIMS TO RIB HIM.

HELLO, BOYS. SURPRISED TO SEE ME ?

REAL SURPRISED, MISS SUE.

WHAT MADE YOU COME HERE ? WELL, GENE INVITED ME.

A LONG TIME AGO. IS HE AROUND ?

YES, UH, BUT HE'S, UH--

- WOULD YOU TELL HIM I'M HERE ? - I-- I'M IN A HURRY.

UH, WAIT FOR ME, FRED !

HE'S-- HE'S IN THERE.

BANGED MY HAND UP A LITTLE. RAN INTO SOMETHING HARD.

YES, I SAW IT-- BIG GULLIVER'S CHIN.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE JODY. NO. HERE. LET ME HELP YOU.

AW, I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. BOY, YOU MUST HAVE REALLY HUNG ONE ON HIM.

THERE. I'LL FIX YOU UP.

YOU DID. PLENTY.

GENE, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

WHAT ARE YOU SCOUTING THIS TIME ?

NOTHING. NOTHING ?

YES, I AM-- A JOB.

I'VE QUIT JEFF LANG.

VERY INTERESTING. IT'S THE TRUTH.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A HABIT OF KICKIN' THE TRUTH AROUND A LITTLE ONCE IN A WHILE.

I'VE COME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE JUST TO TRY TO SQUARE MYSELF WITH YOU.

YOU MADE A GOOD TRY.

WELL, I'D HOPED THAT YOU MIGHT LET ME STAY AROUND FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I DON'T THINK YOU'D LIKE RANCHING. IT'S HARD WORK.

I CAN EARN MY KEEP.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HORSES ? DO I !

I PARLAYED A TWO-DOLLAR BET INTO A BUNDLE THAT BIG.

I DON'T MEAN THAT KIND OF HORSES. OH.

WELL, I CAN COOK... A LITTLE.

MAYBE YOU CAN PARLAY THAT INTO A LOT. OH, CAN I.

WILL YOU HELP ME BRING IN MY BAGS ? NOT IN HERE.

WE HAVE A NICE, COZY LITTLE ROOM... IN THE BARN. IN THE WHAT ?

JUST THROW A LITTLE WATER ON ME, AND I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. HEY, JODY. DON'T YOU DO THAT.

WHAT IS IT, GENE ? THE COLT'S WORSE, MUCH WORSE.

- WELL, CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING ? - WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN.

THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH.

HE'S SO LITTLE.

IT'S NO USE, GENE.

LOOKS LIKE WE LOST, DAISY.

HE WAS AN ORNERY LITTLE CUSS, BUT WE'RE GONNA MISS HIM.

THEY'RE BORN, LIVE AND DIE-- JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

ONLY THEY GIVE MORE WHILE THEY'RE HERE THAN MOST FOLKS.

POOR DAISY.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU FOUND OUT THERE'S MORE TO A HORSE THAN JUST TO PARLAY BET.

I FOUND OUT ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE--

WELL, LIKE GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE,

LEARNING HOW TO DO HARD WORK.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CAME HERE, SUE, I WASN'T CONVINCED YOU'D QUIT YOUR JOB.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST TRYIN' TO PULL A FAST ONE.

IS THAT WHY YOU THREW THE BOOK AT ME ?

YEAH, AND YOU OUTSMARTED ME BY TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.

I CROSSED YOU UP PRETTY THOROUGHLY ONCE.

OH, NO. THAT WAS THE GIRL THAT WORKED FOR JEFF LANG.

NOW, THE GIRL THAT'S BEEN EARNING HER KEEP IS A-- IS A PRETTY GOOD COOK ?

AND A PRETTY GOOD CITIZEN.

THANKS, GENE. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, SUSIE.

CAN YOU STOP BEING A MOTHER'S HELPER LONG ENOUGH TO HELP ME ?

NO DICE THIS TIME, JEFF.

BUT, SUE, YOU'RE IN ON A PERCENTAGE OF THIS DEAL.

YEAH, AND THAT'S SUGAR, SUGAR.

I'D RATHER LET THINGS GO ON JUST AS THEY ARE.

DO YOU INTEND TO KEEP UP THIS PRETENSE AT DOMESTICITY AT MY EXPENSE ?

SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOUR TALENT SCOUT'S BEEN PRETENDING AT MY EXPENSE.

GENE, I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE COMING HERE.

WELL, WE DIDN'T INTEND TO. BUT YOU SEE, MR. RHODES, THE HEAD OF THE STUDIO--

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYONE CONNECTED WITH THE STUDIO.

AND I WON'T BE SEEING YOU BEFORE YOU LEAVE, SUE.

I'M TAKIN' A BUYER OUT TO LOOK AT MY CATTLE.

GENE, AREN'T YOU EVEN GOING TO LET ME EXPLAIN ?

NOT THIS TIME.

OH.

WELL, THIS IS MY BIG CHANCE, SUE. I'VE GOT TO CLOSE THE DEAL.

WELL, I HOPE SO, JEFF, FOR YOUR SAKE AND GENE'S.

IF HE'D ONLY LISTEN TO REASON.

I'LL MAKE HIM LISTEN. [ Claps, Yells ]

COMIN' IN, JEFF ? OH, I'LL WALK A LITTLE.

LATER ON WHEN AUTRY COOLS OFF, I'LL GO OUT AND TALK TURKEY TO HIM.

SAVE YOUR BREATH, MISTER. LAST TIME, GENE NEEDED MONEY SO BAD HE JUST HAD TO LISTEN.

WELL, YOU LISTENED WITHOUT PROVOCATION EVIDENTLY.

IF FOLKS TALK IN MY HEARIN'.

LIKE I SAID, BEFORE YOU HAD AUTRY OVER A BARREL.

YOU'RE WELL INFORMED. WELL, I WAS WORKIN' WITH HIS OUTFIT THEN.

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS NOW ?

HE'S LOADED. OH.

LEASTWAYS, HE'S GOT 25 GRAND ON THE HOOF.

LAST TIME HE HAD 'EM SOLD, HE COULDN'T DELIVER, OWIN' TO A CALAMITY.

YEAH. WELL, I'D GIVE A LOT RIGHT NOW FOR A GOOD CALAMITY.

WELL, I RECKON IF A MAN WAS WILLIN' TO INVEST SOME CAPITAL,

ONE COULD MAYBE UH-- BE MANEUVERED ?

THAT'S A FAMOUS SAYING WE HAVE IN THE MOVIES.

WELL, OUT HERE WE DON'T SAY MUCH, BUT WE CAN SURE SAW WOOD.

HMM.

SUPPOSE YOU AND I HAVE A LITTLE DRINK AND A NICE CHAT.

YOU MAKE 'EM BOTH SOUND TEMPTIN'.

WELL.

MR. GULLIVER, I-I THINK I'D BETTER GO HOME.

NOT TILL I FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BUST HIM. BUST HIM ?

I'VE HAD MY EYE ON THAT RANCH OF AUTRY'S.

WITH WHAT YOU'RE WILLIN' TO PAY, I COULD GRAB IT OFF.

WAIT A MINUTE. ALL I WANT TO DO IS EMBARRASS HIM FINANCIALLY.

I WON'T BE A PARTY TO ANY ROUGH STUFF.

SEE, KENO. JEFF, HERE, IS ALWAYS THINKIN' OF THE WELFARE OF MAN.

THE WORKS OF MAN IS WHAT I GO FOR.

WELL, LIKE, UH--

LIKE BUILDIN' A DAM TO HOLD THE LAKE.

NOW, THAT'S SOMETHIN' TO THINK ABOUT.

[ Jeff ] YEAH, LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT.

TAKE A SQUINT AT IT.

WHISPERIN' ROCK LAKE. I DON'T SAVVY.

OH, LOOK. HERE, TAKE THIS ON ACCOUNT.

I FEEL TERRIBLE I GOTTA GET TO BED.

[ Exhales ] I'LL DIVVY THIS UP AND STILL COME OUT AHEAD.

THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM. HOLD ON, JEFF. THAT'S IT.

WHAT'S IT ? WHAT KENO'S BEEN DRIVIN' AT-- THE DAM.

THE DAM ?

THE DAM THAT HOLDS WHISPERIN' ROCK LAKE.

OH, MY GOOD GULLIVER. WILL YOU PLEASE GO JUMP IN IT ? I'M DYIN'. OOH.

RIG HER UP, BOYS. THEN DIG IN HERE.

AND WHILE YOU'RE WAITIN', PICK YOURSELVES GOOD JOBS ON MY RANCH.

SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU GOT A RANCH ?

SINCE THAT HOLLYWOOD SUCKER AS GOOD AS HANDED ME AUTRY'S RANCH.

I'LL BE BACK COME DARK.

SO, HE'S GONNA GET AUTRY'S RANCH ? WELL, MAYBE HE WILL.

[ Cattle Mooing ]

NOW, LOOK. YOU LET ME IN.

YOU BEEN KEEPIN' ME OUT ALL DAY.

I HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME. WHY, HE'LL SEE ME. WE'RE PALS.

NOT ANY MORE. AND THE WAY HE FEELS, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE DIDN'T SUE YOU.

WHY ? I AIN'T LAYIN' DOWN ON THE JOB.

LOOK. YOU TELL HIM EVERYTHING'S RUNNIN' AS SMOOTH AS MOLASSES OVER PANCAKES.

"MOLASSES OVER PANCAKES." YEAH. THAT SHOULD BUCK HIM UP. YEAH.

YOU TELL HIM EVERYTHING'S ALL SET.

AND TONIGHT THE MEAT GOES IN THE SOUP.

"TONIGHT THE MEAT GOES IN THE SOUP." YEAH. SURE.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE OVERDOING THIS WHOLE THING JUST A LITTLE BIT ? I--

YOU TELL HIM JUST WHAT I SAID.

SURE. SURE. TH-- THE MEAT GOES IN THE SOUP.

TONIGHT, THAT IS. HE'LL UNDERSTAND.

YEAH. HE'LL UNDER-- HE'S BOUND TO.

EVERYBODY-- I UNDERSTAND, EVEN. YES.

UH, HEY. [ Whistles ] SHORTY.

WHAT KIND OF MEAT ?

BEEF.

OH, HECK.

OH, JEFF. THAT WAS BIG GULLIVER.

HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT-- THAT MOLASSES IS FLOWING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND THAT THE BEEF WAS IN THE SOUP.

THAT'S THE SILLIEST MESSAGE I'VE--

WHAT WERE YOU TWO GUYS DRINKIN' ? JEFF, WHAT DID HE MEAN ?

DON'T BOTHER ME ! OOH. DOCTOR, WHY DID I DO IT ?

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT A DRINKING MAN, YOU WERE IN MIGHTY BAD COMPANY.

JEFF, TRY TO REMEMBER WHY YOU GOT MIXED UP WITH GULLIVER.

OH, HE WANTED TO HELP ME OR SOMETHING, SO I GAVE HIM MY BANKROLL.

THERE'S SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS.

JEFF, TRY TO REMEMBER. WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM MONEY ?

TO GET RID OF HIM. HE KEPT PRATTLING ABOUT A LAKE...

OR A DAM, OR-- OOH !

THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, MISS.

GULLIVER'S BEEN STRINGING HIM ALONG.

GULLIVER'S CAGEY WHEN IT COMES TO MOOCHING DRINKS.

HE'LL SURVIVE. I'LL LOOK IN ON HIM AGAIN IN THE MORNING.

OH, THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

NELLIE, WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT THE BEEF ?

HE SAYS THE BEEF'S IN THE SOUP.

HOW ONE MAN COULD LOOK SO SOBER AND TALK SO DRUNK.

JEFF, WHAT DID GULLIVER SAY LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE DAM AT THE LAKE ?

OH, I DON'T KNOW, AND I DON'T CARE.

I'LL NEVER LIVE TO MAKE A PICTURE WITH AUTRY ANYHOW.

AUTRY ?

THE BEEF. THE BEEF IN THE SOUP.

THE DAM. I'VE GOT IT ! IT'S THE DAM !

OF COURSE IT'S THE DAM ! WHAT DAM ?

THE ONE ABOVE BOX CANYON. AND THE BEEF.

THAT'S GENE'S CATTLE. HE'S GOING TO BLOW UP THE DAM !

WE'VE GOT TO WARN GENE. COME ON, NELLIE.

NOT ME. NOT ME. I WON'T GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT BEEF STEW !

OH, VERY WELL. I'LL GO ALONE !

JEFF LANG, IF YOU'VE PAID THAT GULLIVER TO RUIN GENE BY DROWNING HIS CATTLE,

AND MAYBE HIM TOO, I'LL SEE TO IT THAT YOU GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE !

COME ON, NELLIE. WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

NO, I'M VERY HEALTHY HERE. OH, CALL THE SHERIFF.

SHERIFF ! SH--

[ Car Backfires ]

OH. GENE ! GENE ! [ Jody ] WHAT'S THE MATTER ?

OH, JODY, WHERE'S GENE ? I MUST SEE HIM.

HE'S RIDIN' NIGHT GUARD IN BOX CANYON. WHAT'S COOKIN', MISS SUE ?

TAKE ME THERE, AND I'LL TELL YOU ON THE WAY. HOP IN YOUR CAR. I'LL DRIVE.

I CAN'T ! I JUST BLEW A TIRE ! OH, THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS.

WELL, I'LL SADDLE UP.

WELL, I CAN'T RIDE IN THIS.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO GET INTO DUNGAREES ?

LEND ME SOME, AND I'LL BE READY WHEN YOU ARE. COME ON !

YOU MEN SPREAD OUT AND COVER THE TRAIL.

IF WE'RE LATE, YOU NAB THOSE HIGHBINDERS ON THE WAY DOWN.

[ Nellie ] WHOA ! WHO ARE YOU ?

THE GUY WHO GAVE YOU THE TIP. AND THIS IS MY FRIEND...

WHO GAVE GULLIVER ALL THAT MONEY TO BLOW UP THE DAM.

WE'RE GOIN' WITH YA. WE COULDN'T HAVE MADE IT IF HE HADN'T STOLEN THESE HORSES.

OH, YOU COULDN'T, EH ?

NO, WE COULDN'T. WHO ARE YOU ? I'M THE SHERIFF !

[ Gasps ] SHERIFF ?

- TAKE 'EM IN, JOE. - ALL RIGHT, YOU TWO.

[ Joe ] GET DOWN OFF THERE. GET DOWN ?

IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES TO GET ON THE DARN THING.

NOW-- N-NOW LOOK, SHERIFF. CAN'T WE KIND OF TALK THIS OVER ?

[ Sheriff ] TAKE 'EM IN ! TAKE 'EM IN, JOE.

INSIDE. INSIDE. NOW, NO ROUGH STUFF. I HAVEN'T BEEN WELL.

NOW, TAKE IT EASY.

THEY'RE PUTTIN' OUT COFFEE. YOU BETTER RIDE BACK AND GET SOME.

I'M RIDIN' ON UP AHEAD. YEAH, MAN ! THAT'S FOR ME.

JODY, WHERE'LL HE BE ? UP AHEAD, LIKELY.

WELL, YOU WARN THE OTHERS, AND I'LL TRY TO FIND HIM !

OKAY ! YAAH, BOY !

SO, YOU'RE SCOUTIN' ON HORSEBACK NOW, HUH ?

I'VE RIDDEN HERE TO WARN YOU. YOU'RE IN DANGER.

I USUALLY AM WHEN YOU SHOW UP. OH, GENE. PLEASE BELIEVE ME !

YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THE CANYON ! THIS IS A NEW APPROACH,

BUT I THINK YOU'RE OVERDOIN' IT.

OH, YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE !

GULLIVER'S GONNA BLOW UP THE DAM !

YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO ME ABOUT A THING LIKE THAT, WOULD YOU ?

OH, NO ! OF COURSE I WOULDN'T. IT'S THE TRUTH !

ALL RIGHT. I'LL STAMPEDE THE HERD. MAYBE A FEW OF THEM WILL GET OUT.

HEY ! HEY !

[ Gunfire ]

[ Cows Mooing ]

HEY !

HEAD FOR HIGH GROUND !

HEY ! HEY ! [ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Gene ] HEY !

HEY, GET OUT OF HERE !

[ Sue ] GENE ! GENE !

I TOLD YA TO RIDE FOR HIGH GROUND !

[ Explosion ]

[ Horse Whinnying ]

[ Gunfire ]

WHEN THEY ROLL THE WATER OUT OF GULLIVER AND HIS CREW,

THEY'LL ALL GO UP FOR A LONG STRETCH.

WELL, SHERIFF, MR. LANG HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SCHEME.

HE WAS TAKEN IN BY GULLIVER. WELL, MISS WARNER'S RIDING...

INTO THE COUNTY TO WARN YOU IS PROOF ENOUGH.

BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO TESTIFY AT THE TRIAL.

UH-- IT'S JUST A FORMALITY. I'M SATISFIED, AND YOU'RE IN THE CLEAR.

OH, SHERIFF. OH, PARDON ME.

YOU KNOW THOSE HORSES I STOL-- UH, BORROWED ? I PUT 'EM BACK.

WELL, THAT GIVES YOU A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, MR. BLY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SHERIFF,

BUT I HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GENE.

THERE'S MY CHECK TO COVER YOUR LOSS. OH, NO. THANKS, JEFF.

OH, BUT, GENE, WHAT ABOUT YOUR RANCH ?

WELL, UH, I GUESS THE SHERIFF WILL TAKE CARE OF MY RANCH.

GENE, SOMETIMES I GET AWFUL ABSENTMINDED AND MISLAY IMPORTANT PAPERS.

WELL, IF YOU COULD FORGET WHERE YOU PUT THAT FORECLOSURE SIGN...

LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO ROUND UP A FEW OF MY CATTLE AND HUNT A JOB, WELL--

COULD YOU FIND A JOB FOR ME TOO ?

I'VE GOT A JOB FOR YOU AS MY ASSISTANT.

AND SHE'LL MAKE A GOOD ONE TOO, JEFF. YOU BETCHA.

WELL, WHAT WILL YOU DO, GENE ? WELL, MOST ANYTHING.

I HAVEN'T MUCH CHOICE. WILL YOU SIGN A CONTRACT TO THAT EFFECT ?

YOU MEAN THAT I MIGHT FIT INTO SOMETHING ? MUSICAL WESTERNS !

YOU FIT 'EM LIKE A GLOVE. OH, SURE. CONGRATULATIONS, GENE.

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL ! CONGRATULATIONS !

THAT'S WONDERFUL ! LOOK, I GOT A STORY THAT WILL KILL THE PEOPLE !

YOU RIDE INTO THIS FIRST SCENE. THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL GIRL THERE.
