lucky you came along we're on our way

back in greenville i guess we left just

a while before you did what were you

carrying pete that those road agents

were after beats me i'm carrying nothing

more valuable than a chuck bag full of

vittles what about your passenger i

reckon you better ask permiss annie

she's been acting awful skittish about

something of course i never was one who

could figure out females accepting them

with four legs and a whinny

miss yes the driver seemed to think you

were frightened or something i thought

you might know the reason those men

attacked the stage no no i don't why

should i this is my first time in the

territory carrying jewels maybe for a

lot of money no i'm afraid i'm not are

you riding through to the elbow i'm

going as far as the stage takes me but

the album is it's the end of the line

yes i guess it is

pete do you know who she is the

passenger list gets her name is roberts

but she could be the queen of england

for all i can see under all that valence

driver can't we get started again

lofty you better drive the stage on

inner diabolo pete can ride inside

[Music]

i can do it honest i can i'm sorry tag

but the answer is still no but you said

i was a good reporter yes i did but you

have to serve a long apprenticeship

before you become a real newspaper man

gosh i wish i could do just one story

you'll get one someday don't try and

hurry up something come on let's go see

what the stage is bringing in today

take it easy tom

lofty what happened well it's sort of a

mystery time

a couple of masked men shot up the stage

gee what were they after that's the

mystery pete you've gone over to the

doctor and get that arm taken care of

lofty and i'll see to your passenger

thank annie

oh look what we have here

watch your step mister

right across the street miss no i can

manage thank you i'm tom conrad miss

editor of the diablo courier

uh strangers especially pretty ones are

always news in diablo i wonder if you'd

answer a few questions for me

what sort of questions oh what you're

doing in town that don't take much

figuring hey watch how you talk to a

lady mister i normally do deputy but if

that one's a lady i'll eat my boots

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

after you've finished your lunch mr you

may apologize to the lady

hey where'd she go

[Music]

strange why she walked off like that

[Music]

not the fanciest i'm afraid but it's

clean oh it'll be fine thank you

oh one more thing uh yeah

it's very important yes

i don't want to be disturbed by anyone

why certainly mr roberts

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i ain't so worried khan but riding on

into diablo i don't know if that's so

smart what can they do charge against me

was dropped remember what if the girl

sees us so she sees us diablo's the end

of the stage line

she ain't gonna get away

[Applause]

[Music]

oh hello

tom what'd you find out tom ah not a

thing she's a mystery woman all right

hadn't been out of her room once had all

her meals sent in i want the hotel clerk

tell you anything wendy doesn't know any

more than i do

but he's got definite orders not to let

anybody in orders from mrs roberts

sure too bad she's married

well whether she's mrs roberts or not

that girl is sure frightened about

something

maybe the law's after

no that's not it tag i've already

checked the wanted reports

i think she needs help how can we help

her if we don't know what she's running

from

well do you think a good newspaper man

would be able to find out all about her

that's right annie

but i'm afraid i'd have to be small

enough to get through a keyhole to find

out anything about the mystery woman

[Music]

where are you heading tag

oh just around no place special well

stay out of trouble sure sure i will

[Music]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

just trying to get a story that's our

story here

anything about you and well i thought

you again

[Music]

[Music]

not too tight yes mr conrad

i brought a lady with me

she brought me

well is this a surprise

i thought i made it clear to you that i

didn't want to be interviewed that's

right you did well apparently you didn't

tell your assistant here having a nose

for news is fine but i don't think it

belongs in a keyhole peg i'm sorry mr

conrad i was just trying to get a scoop

well that's no way to get a story

please don't try again i want to be left

alone completely well diablo's a

friendly town man

stage came in would like to help me

out of town well you'll find that sword

anywhere not that they're important not

at all

questions oh thank you mr conrad but i'm

afraid that would be impossible

oh

what's the matter please don't move just

hold me

[Music]

[Music]

i'm sorry mr conrad please forgive me

it's a pleasure well ma'am you're

trimming something awful

was it those two men no no it was

nothing really i

trouble

gosh mr conrad she's sure scared about

something just like annie said your

sister's not usually wrong but what are

we gonna do mr conrad

well you're gonna get in there and sort

the mail and don't forget to go through

the out of town newspapers you can learn

a lot about big city setup methods that

way

[Music]

yes sir scoop oh please a name guess

about every one of the countries heard

about me huh

guess i've covered some of the biggest

stories in the west will i even remember

the time

[Music]

jump in cactus it's her the mystery

woman i gotta tell annie

[Music]

oh excuse me

[Music]

maybe if i had a talk with mrs roberts

i'd be able to find would you please

quit reminding me that she's married

eddie annie look at this

where'd you get this tag it came in the

mail with the out of town papers i

almost didn't argue listen to this

lil benton kansas city dance hall queen

and the state's key witness in the

murder trial of con morley disappeared

from the city today and states

prosecutors were compelled to release

morley for lack of evidence

miss benton who earlier had indicated

she was an eyewitness to the murder of

frank patterson kansas city saloon owner

left no trace as to her whereabouts miss

betty

then she isn't married

without miss benton's testimony state

prosecutors admitted they had no case

against morley it is believed that death

threats against the girl were

responsible for her sudden disappearance

annie that morning he was one of the men

that rode into town that sure explains

the mystery about the mystery woman and

the stage attack

they were after her

we don't have any proof lofty they were

wearing masks why did she run it was the

worst thing she could do well i guess

morley threw a real scare into her we

better have a talk with her honey we're

gonna have to talk fast what do you mean

well talk is the one thing that morley

doesn't want her to do well their horses

are still in front of saloon oh good you

and tag stay here and if they come out

keep an eye on them all right

wendy what room is mrs roberts and we

got to talk to her right away i knew

there was something wrong that's why she

checked out in such a hurry checked out

that more than 15 minutes ago asked me

where she could get a horse i told her

the delivery stable now if i'd have

known i certainly wouldn't

their horses are still at the saloon

honey

did you see her she's run away run

where could she go she wouldn't go back

to kansas city she's probably headed

further west let's go after her

[Music]

i hope they catch her mr conrad

so do i tag so do i

[Music]

[Music]

she cut off here that leads to pretty

rough country

she's probably so frightened she doesn't

know which way she's heading

[Music]

so

[Music]

i'm sorry i didn't know it was you

chasing me i thought you thought it was

con marley and his henchman and it could

have been you were very foolish to ride

out of town alone like that lil then you

know you saw the kansas city paper the

whole story not the whole story i'm

afraid not what morley threatened to do

if i testified against him he said even

if he did go to jail he'd have friends

who'd get me you gotta stop running miss

molly can't get you if he's in prison

and that's where he will be if you go

back and testify

i'm all alone what can i do against him

we'd like to help if you let us

you got other friends too there's a

newspaper editor back in town that's

mighty concerned over you

i'd never make it back alone

morley'd get me i know he would not if

he's in a diablo jail he wouldn't but

he's been released there's no charge

against him take a warrant from kansas

city to jail for that murder charge

again annie

[Music]

but if he commits a crime in this

territory or an armed attack against

miss benton

suppose you were to ride into town and

let marlene's friend know that the

mystery woman ridden out of town alone

wouldn't take much supposing they'd be

out here and fast it's just what i

thought

there's only one way to make sure

are you willing to try it though yes yes

i am

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

that's lil all right looks like that

loudmouth cowboy back and town knew what

he was talking about lil had more brains

in a fuller stunt like this brady let

this be a lesson what do you mean

never give a woman no credit for having

brains

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

in those rocks you got her now

[Applause]

[Music]

here i am boys

[Music]

it worked like a charm annie

where's miss benton

back in a nice safe spot where these two

couldn't get at her never give a woman

no credit for having brains huh we sure

got took in by this one you know for a

man it's supposed to be smart morley

you sure don't know the first thing

about women

especially annie oakley all right get to

your horses

everything we were glad to be able to

help you don't know what it means to him
