1
00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:05,573
- California, 1854.
2
00:00:05,573 --> 00:00:07,708
Still a land of boom and bust,
3
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:09,843
with gold still
buried in the hills
4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:11,312
and plenty of men to find it.
5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,448
It was the land
of greed and folly
6
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:17,718
as gold-hungry men stampeded
from one digging to another.
7
00:00:18,886 --> 00:00:20,954
This was one of
the wildest camps,
8
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:24,024
a strike on Misery
Creek built a small town
9
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:26,360
out of the wilderness
in a matter of days.
10
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:34,102
Been on the trail two
days, need a place to sleep
11
00:00:34,102 --> 00:00:36,104
and a place to keep
these two men overnight.
12
00:00:36,104 --> 00:00:37,538
- Who are you?
13
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,307
- Matt Wayne, city
marshal of San Francisco.
14
00:00:39,307 --> 00:00:40,841
- This aint no jail, mister.
15
00:00:40,841 --> 00:00:42,576
And what's more, we don't have
no jails around this place.
16
00:00:42,576 --> 00:00:46,147
- Lay it down, marshal, I
reckon we can fix you up.
17
00:00:46,147 --> 00:00:49,049
Oh Shorty, take Marshal
Wayne around the back
18
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:51,919
and tell the boy to fix him
up with a bite of supper.
19
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:54,722
And put these two hombres
down in the root cellar.
20
00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:57,791
It's a good, strong cellar with
a good strong door, marshal.
21
00:00:57,791 --> 00:00:58,892
I reckon they'll be safe.
22
00:00:58,892 --> 00:00:59,827
Who are they?
23
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:04,098
- This man's Corbett,
his partner's Hastings.
24
00:01:04,098 --> 00:01:06,434
They held up a stagecoach,
killed two men.
25
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:08,902
All right men, get down.
26
00:01:10,338 --> 00:01:13,274
- Better lock 'em up good,
Shorty, they look dangerous.
27
00:01:13,274 --> 00:01:14,975
Marshal, you go
along with Shorty.
28
00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:19,113
- Are you out of
your mind, Dayton?
29
00:01:19,113 --> 00:01:21,215
This ain't no time to
have lawmen around.
30
00:01:21,215 --> 00:01:23,016
- Shut up, I'll do the thinking.
31
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:25,653
That jackass with the
star is gonna be our goat.
32
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:28,756
We ain't gonna have to
dodge a posse after all.
33
00:01:28,756 --> 00:01:30,958
(dramatic music)
34
00:01:30,958 --> 00:01:34,428
* California, California
35
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:36,564
* There's gold in them
- "The Californians."
36
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:38,132
* In California
37
00:01:38,132 --> 00:01:40,968
* I've come to live
where life is best *
38
00:01:40,968 --> 00:01:42,970
* In the golden West
39
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:47,941
* I'm gonna strike it
rich in California *
40
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:50,644
* California
41
00:01:55,883 --> 00:01:56,684
- Wayne?
42
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:03,957
Marshal Wayne?
43
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,328
What he got with his supper
44
00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:08,829
will keep him
asleep till morning.
45
00:02:08,829 --> 00:02:09,663
Come on.
46
00:02:23,411 --> 00:02:26,214
All right, you fellas
come out of there.
47
00:02:26,214 --> 00:02:28,949
Corbet, Hastings, come out.
48
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,021
- What's this all about?
49
00:02:34,021 --> 00:02:35,823
- Nevermind, you'll
find out, go on.
50
00:02:52,072 --> 00:02:54,875
(explosion booms)
51
00:02:56,544 --> 00:02:57,911
- Get up, get up!
52
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:05,118
- Do you mind telling me
what this is all about?
53
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:06,487
- Maybe you can tell us.
54
00:03:06,487 --> 00:03:08,589
Where's Dayton, where's Piute?
55
00:03:08,589 --> 00:03:10,858
- What? Who?
56
00:03:10,858 --> 00:03:13,193
- And them two fellas you
brought in last night?
57
00:03:20,167 --> 00:03:22,002
- Put that thing away.
58
00:03:26,006 --> 00:03:29,076
- There was $100,000 worth
of gold in this safe.
59
00:03:29,076 --> 00:03:31,912
Every cent the camp
made on the last strike.
60
00:03:31,912 --> 00:03:33,113
- Why was it kept there?
61
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:35,883
- Dayton banked it for us.
62
00:03:35,883 --> 00:03:37,885
Now it's gone, so is
Dayton, so is Piute,
63
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:40,821
and so are them two
fellas you brought in.
64
00:03:40,821 --> 00:03:43,391
- And you figure they
blasted out and got away?
65
00:03:43,391 --> 00:03:45,426
- Looks that way, don't it?
66
00:03:45,426 --> 00:03:47,661
- That root cellar had
a door six inches thick,
67
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:48,962
it was iron-bound to boot.
68
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:52,833
Who let Corbett
and Hastings out?
69
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:53,667
- Guess who.
70
00:03:55,102 --> 00:03:57,771
- What? Me?
71
00:03:57,771 --> 00:03:59,640
- That's good guessin'.
72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,776
- Oh now wait, you're
not using your sense.
73
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:03,611
I'm a lawman.
74
00:04:04,812 --> 00:04:06,614
Those two men were my prisoners.
75
00:04:06,614 --> 00:04:08,282
- Maybe you ain't a lawman?
76
00:04:08,282 --> 00:04:10,684
Maybe you and them fellas
cooked it up together.
77
00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:13,654
- You've got a lot of
maybes, but no facts.
78
00:04:13,654 --> 00:04:15,623
- Stop arguing with him, Shorty.
79
00:04:15,623 --> 00:04:18,125
Let's give him a miner's
trial and hang him.
80
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:20,461
(people shouting)
(gunshot booms)
81
00:04:20,461 --> 00:04:21,295
- Hold it!
82
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:22,563
Hold it, everybody.
83
00:04:22,563 --> 00:04:23,797
If there's gonna be a hanging,
84
00:04:23,797 --> 00:04:25,666
I wanna be a part
of the festivities.
85
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:26,967
There ain't no fun in a hangin'
86
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:29,002
unless you do it up
right and proper.
87
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:31,171
Well howdy, stranger.
88
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:34,442
- Vinegar Pete, get outta here.
89
00:04:34,442 --> 00:04:36,009
- Oh I guess not.
90
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:37,678
As the first
citizen of this town
91
00:04:37,678 --> 00:04:39,012
I got a right to be here.
92
00:04:39,012 --> 00:04:41,515
And besides that, I've
got this old widow maker
93
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,284
and the first one of
ya that makes a move
94
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:48,088
is gonna get a load of
buckshot right in your brisket.
95
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:50,257
Now, uh.
96
00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,593
You got anything with
you to prove you are
97
00:04:52,593 --> 00:04:53,594
who you say you are?
98
00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:56,196
- In my pocket.
99
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,866
- Well, take it out
but take it out slow.
100
00:04:58,866 --> 00:05:00,568
Any fast action
makes me nervous.
101
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:03,003
Shorty, you can read can't you?
102
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:05,906
Well study that a bit.
103
00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:10,611
I ain't got my specs with me
and besides that I can't read.
104
00:05:10,611 --> 00:05:12,079
(Shorty grunts)
105
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:15,383
- Says he's city marshal
of San Francisco all right.
106
00:05:15,383 --> 00:05:18,952
- Well, I guess I
should've shot you at that.
107
00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:21,689
You hanged a cousin
of mine a while back,
108
00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:22,690
maybe you remember him?
109
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:23,691
J. Jameson Jones?
110
00:05:24,892 --> 00:05:26,794
- I remember him.
111
00:05:26,794 --> 00:05:29,397
- Well, I'm Vinegar Pete Jones.
112
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:34,101
J. Jameson was a
tricky old coot,
113
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:37,137
maybe he deserved a hanging.
114
00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:38,071
(Vinegar Pete chuckles)
115
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:39,707
Turn the man loose, boys.
116
00:05:39,707 --> 00:05:41,642
- Not on your life!
- Get him!
117
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:44,244
(men shouting)
118
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:54,455
- [Man] String him up!
119
00:05:55,423 --> 00:05:56,724
- Wait a minute, wait a minute!
120
00:05:56,724 --> 00:05:58,726
Ain't you even gonna
give him a trial?
121
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:01,061
- Get outta here, Jones,
before we put you up with him.
122
00:06:01,061 --> 00:06:02,563
- I'm sorry, mister.
123
00:06:02,563 --> 00:06:05,966
Give my best regards to cousin
J. Jameson when you see him!
124
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:07,935
- All right boys, haul away!
125
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:13,006
- Wait a minute, wait
a minute, look, look!
126
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:15,509
(eerie music)
127
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:19,447
(crowd murmuring)
128
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,290
- Now take it easy, boys,
I'll tell you all about it.
129
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:32,092
Some of you give
poor Piute a hand.
130
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:34,595
- Thanks.
131
00:06:34,595 --> 00:06:36,730
- No trouble, no trouble at all.
132
00:06:43,537 --> 00:06:45,005
- What happened to him?
133
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:48,008
- It was them two fellas,
they busted out of the cellar.
134
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:50,444
They held up me and
Piute and blew the safe.
135
00:06:50,444 --> 00:06:52,813
We took out after them
and run into an ambush.
136
00:06:52,813 --> 00:06:54,848
They got Piute, we
got out of there.
137
00:06:57,551 --> 00:06:58,552
- How bad is he hit?
138
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:01,789
- Well, he's got a
permanent part in his hair.
139
00:07:04,391 --> 00:07:05,593
- Hm, just a scratch.
140
00:07:05,593 --> 00:07:07,528
He'll be all right
when he comes around.
141
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,230
- What about this fella?
142
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,766
We think he was in
on it with them two.
143
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,735
- Oh, he was sleeping
when it happened.
144
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:18,706
- Seems blowing a safe
ought to wake him up.
145
00:07:18,706 --> 00:07:21,408
Seems like somebody
should've heard something
146
00:07:21,408 --> 00:07:23,744
when them fellas were busting
out of the root cellar,
147
00:07:23,744 --> 00:07:27,180
blowing up a safe, and
stealing a couple of horses.
148
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:28,649
- What are you trying to say?
149
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:32,653
- I'm saying that
it's mighty peculiar
150
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,989
how them fellas knew that
gold was in your safe.
151
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:39,593
I'm saying that this whole
business needs some study.
152
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:45,032
Now mister, don't you try
leaving this mining district
153
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:48,268
until some of them
questions is settled.
154
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,237
- But he's the marshal
of San Francisco.
155
00:07:50,237 --> 00:07:53,707
- I don't care who
he is, he stays.
156
00:07:53,707 --> 00:07:55,208
- All right.
157
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:56,610
Let's get Piute inside.
158
00:07:57,545 --> 00:08:00,347
(crowd murmuring)
159
00:08:04,552 --> 00:08:06,219
- Suppose you've done
a lot of mining, eh?
160
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:08,388
- A considerable.
161
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:10,157
- Did you ever use
blasting powder?
162
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:11,792
- Yep.
163
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:15,128
- Did you ever notice
the way powder blows up?
164
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:16,363
- Well naturally.
165
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:18,832
(Vinegar Pete chuckles)
166
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:20,768
- The way that safe
door was hanging,
167
00:08:20,768 --> 00:08:23,070
that powder would
have to blow down.
168
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:24,905
- Well I didn't notice that.
169
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:27,675
Say you got a brain,
son, that's for sure!
170
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,712
- How well do you know Dayton?
171
00:08:32,646 --> 00:08:34,181
- Oh, he's uh...
172
00:08:34,181 --> 00:08:37,317
He's the biggest man
in town, that's all.
173
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:40,688
There ain't a living
soul in Misery Flats
174
00:08:40,688 --> 00:08:43,090
who will say a word against him.
175
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,225
Of course, there's
a lot of dead ones
176
00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:47,360
that would like to
make a few remarks.
177
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:50,497
- How'd they die?
178
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:51,331
- Accident.
179
00:08:55,002 --> 00:08:57,070
- Eh, this ain't going as
slick as you figured, Dayton.
180
00:08:57,070 --> 00:08:58,639
- Why?
181
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,641
- Seems to me Shorty
Slaughter was lookin' at us
182
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:01,975
with hanging in his eyes.
183
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:04,344
- Well we'll just have
to take what comes.
184
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,679
They won't do
nothing without proof
185
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,547
and that's something
they won't find.
186
00:09:11,652 --> 00:09:13,153
- How's that head, Piute?
187
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:13,987
- [Piute] Sore.
188
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:17,190
- Which way were
those two headed
189
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:18,792
when you caught up to them?
190
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:20,327
- Uh, south.
191
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:22,029
That is, southwest.
192
00:09:22,029 --> 00:09:24,131
They were on the Stockton road.
193
00:09:24,131 --> 00:09:25,733
You goin' after them, ain't you?
194
00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:29,202
- I think I'll look
around here for a while.
195
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:32,973
Take care of that head, Piute.
196
00:09:32,973 --> 00:09:35,743
(dramatic music)
197
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:38,145
- This fella's dangerous.
198
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:41,882
- I wanna see you, Vinegar Pete.
199
00:09:41,882 --> 00:09:43,416
- What about?
200
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,085
- I need you in my business.
201
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,386
- Well how's that?
202
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:47,721
- You seem to know the ropes,
203
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:49,189
you know everybody around here.
204
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:51,158
- Well I should, I helped
to settle this place.
205
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:54,294
- [Matt] How much money did
you lose in that robbery?
206
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:56,596
- You don't think I put my
gold in that safe, do you?
207
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:57,464
- [Matt] Why not?
208
00:09:59,299 --> 00:10:01,301
- I been burned
by Dayton before.
209
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:03,403
He jumped a claim of mine,
all legal and everything
210
00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:06,339
but real low and tricky.
211
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:07,808
- [Matt] Seems to fall
in line with my thinking
212
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:10,310
that Dayton robbed his own safe.
213
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:11,511
- Yeah, I guess you're right.
214
00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:13,113
He was kinda lucky
having his own
215
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:15,082
two prisoners to
blame it on, huh?
216
00:10:15,082 --> 00:10:16,750
(Pete chuckles)
217
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:19,152
- Why don't you sort of
spread that idea around?
218
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:22,890
- Uh, you ain't aiming to
scheme up something are you?
219
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:25,392
- Maybe.
220
00:10:25,392 --> 00:10:27,795
- Kinda a tight mouth, ain't ya?
221
00:10:27,795 --> 00:10:29,396
Seems to me you're asking a lot
222
00:10:29,396 --> 00:10:32,565
after hanging a cousin of mine.
223
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:35,502
- I gave J. Jameson the best
funeral San Francisco ever had.
224
00:10:35,502 --> 00:10:38,371
- Yeah well, that's
in your favor.
225
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:40,808
Now, what else do you want?
226
00:10:40,808 --> 00:10:42,342
- You got any gold?
227
00:10:42,342 --> 00:10:45,846
- About $1,000 in
dust and nuggets.
228
00:10:45,846 --> 00:10:46,747
- I want it.
229
00:10:46,747 --> 00:10:48,916
- You what, son?
230
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:50,417
- I wanna borrow your gold.
231
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:52,319
- Now now, just
hold on a minute!
232
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,987
Let me chew on that for a while,
233
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,389
what makes you think I'll
trust you with my gold?
234
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:58,558
- I'm the marshal
of San Francisco.
235
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:02,329
- Oh shucks, son, there
ain't no honest marshals.
236
00:11:03,797 --> 00:11:05,298
I can't take your word.
237
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:08,368
- Didn't I keep my
promise to J. Jameson?
238
00:11:08,368 --> 00:11:09,837
He had a fine
funeral, didn't he?
239
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:12,605
- He sure did, that's right.
240
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:14,074
- All right, I want that gold
241
00:11:14,074 --> 00:11:16,877
and I also want that
big shotgun of yours.
242
00:11:16,877 --> 00:11:18,478
Have them ready tonight.
243
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:20,380
- Well what on earth
are you gonna do?
244
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:22,816
- Start the biggest
stampede this town ever saw.
245
00:11:23,984 --> 00:11:25,418
See you tonight.
246
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:28,155
(dramatic music)
247
00:11:35,963 --> 00:11:37,397
Got the gold?
248
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:38,565
- Yeah, but...
249
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,268
Well, you be careful with it
250
00:11:41,268 --> 00:11:43,937
'cause that's all
the gold I got.
251
00:11:46,807 --> 00:11:47,841
What're you gonna do?
252
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:51,078
- Put a little color
into Polecat Creek.
253
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:55,949
When I get through,
this'll look like
254
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:59,086
the richest strike
in all of California.
255
00:11:59,086 --> 00:12:01,621
- Well what's that got to
do with Dayton and Piute?
256
00:12:02,823 --> 00:12:04,391
- Dayton and Piute
are like two pigs
257
00:12:04,391 --> 00:12:06,193
with both feet in the trough.
258
00:12:06,193 --> 00:12:09,429
Anybody that greedy isn't
likely to be satisfied
259
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:11,031
with the $100,000 they've got
260
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:14,501
if they think they're
leaving millions more behind.
261
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:16,103
- Yeah, but they
ain't dumb enough
262
00:12:16,103 --> 00:12:17,905
to think that
anybody in this camp
263
00:12:17,905 --> 00:12:20,607
would trust them with the
gold after that holdup.
264
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:21,441
- No.
265
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,044
But they might think
people would trust them
266
00:12:24,044 --> 00:12:25,412
if the gold were returned.
267
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,118
You say you had no idea how
stupid a greedy man can be.
268
00:12:32,853 --> 00:12:35,155
Especially if he's a
greedy man to start with.
269
00:12:37,524 --> 00:12:40,193
(gunshot booms)
270
00:12:43,196 --> 00:12:45,866
(gunshot booms)
271
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,275
You know what to do?
272
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,177
- Yep, stir up
trouble and distrust.
273
00:12:57,177 --> 00:12:59,279
Cousin J. Jameson
said I shined at that.
274
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,115
- You look more like him
every time I see you.
275
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,616
All right, get moving.
276
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,652
(Pete chuckles)
277
00:13:05,652 --> 00:13:09,890
- Yes sir, you're a
fine bunch of innocents.
278
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:13,994
Put everything you owned in a
beat-up old tin can of a safe
279
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:17,630
that anybody could open with
a pinch bar and a jackknife.
280
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:20,367
Why shucks, it was
only two days travel
281
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:22,870
to the Express
office in Stockton.
282
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:25,305
Your gold would've
been safe there!
283
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:28,341
Well all I'm saying is it's
funny the robbery happened
284
00:13:28,341 --> 00:13:31,444
just when the safe was crowded
to the doors with your gold.
285
00:13:33,346 --> 00:13:34,848
- You were saying?
286
00:13:35,949 --> 00:13:37,885
You been saying an
awful lot, Vinegar Pete.
287
00:13:39,219 --> 00:13:41,521
Maybe it's time you started
packing your say-so.
288
00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:42,422
- Sit down, Jones.
289
00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:46,426
If you want a little gunplay,
I'll be glad to oblige.
290
00:13:48,728 --> 00:13:50,330
- I wasn't mean
nothing, marshal.
291
00:13:51,598 --> 00:13:52,499
Nothing at all.
292
00:13:54,034 --> 00:13:56,603
- Shouldn't have talked
that way, Vinegar Pete.
293
00:13:56,603 --> 00:13:58,005
- Why not?
294
00:13:58,005 --> 00:13:59,806
Seems that Piute got
a little too upset
295
00:13:59,806 --> 00:14:01,608
by what Jones said.
296
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:04,144
You know the old
saying, gentlemen.
297
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,679
The wicked fleeth
where no man pursueth.
298
00:14:08,481 --> 00:14:10,783
- I tell you that old coot's
poising everybody against us.
299
00:14:10,783 --> 00:14:13,120
And I'll tell you another thing,
300
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,155
that Marshal Wayne's behind him.
301
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:16,656
- Oh, you're imagining things.
302
00:14:18,058 --> 00:14:22,896
Oh Shorty, why don't
you have a drink on me?
303
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:25,298
- No I don't reckon
I will, Dayton.
304
00:14:25,298 --> 00:14:26,799
- Well what's the
matter with you?
305
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,201
- Nothing.
306
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:29,769
Just hate to drink
a man's liquor
307
00:14:29,769 --> 00:14:32,872
that I might have to help hang.
308
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:35,375
(tense music)
309
00:14:40,247 --> 00:14:43,183
- If I ever saw a hanging
look, they're wearing it.
310
00:14:43,183 --> 00:14:45,352
I told you we was fools
to come back here.
311
00:14:45,352 --> 00:14:47,287
- It'd have been all right
if it wasn't for Wayne,
312
00:14:47,287 --> 00:14:48,421
he started all the trouble.
313
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:50,390
- I told you he needed killing.
314
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:51,358
- Then let's do it.
315
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:55,028
- He's always riding out
to Vinegar Pete's camp.
316
00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:57,030
I can lay back in the
brush and pick him off.
317
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:57,965
(Dayton grunts)
318
00:14:57,965 --> 00:14:59,532
- You do that and we will hang,
319
00:14:59,532 --> 00:15:01,768
everybody will know we done it.
320
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:04,037
You gotta meet him
in a fair fight.
321
00:15:04,037 --> 00:15:05,572
Your honor's been insulted,
322
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,640
you've got a right
to call him on that.
323
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,841
That way, everybody will know
324
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,410
we resent what's
being said about us.
325
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,345
- Now wait a minute, Dayton.
326
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:14,081
He'll kill me before
I can get my gun out.
327
00:15:14,081 --> 00:15:16,449
- Now don't you worry,
328
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:18,685
I'll be right behind
him all the time.
329
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:25,158
- I got folks stirred up
pretty good against them two.
330
00:15:25,158 --> 00:15:26,159
What's next?
331
00:15:27,527 --> 00:15:29,929
- Get Shorty Slaughter to
prospect Polecat Creek with you.
332
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:34,201
When you find gold, raise
the biggest row in town
333
00:15:34,201 --> 00:15:35,235
you can think of.
334
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:43,476
- What'll it be, marshal?
335
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,012
- Let me have some Monongahela.
336
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,853
- [Dayton] There you are.
337
00:15:57,424 --> 00:15:59,592
- That was real clumsy, Piute.
338
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:01,261
- Maybe I meant it to be.
339
00:16:01,261 --> 00:16:02,895
You been talking
about me, Wayne.
340
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:06,066
Maybe it's time you
eat some of your words.
341
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:07,267
- Dayton, do you
want this man's blood
342
00:16:07,267 --> 00:16:08,568
all over this clean floor?
343
00:16:10,070 --> 00:16:12,972
- Marshal Wayne, this
is not my affair.
344
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:15,942
If Piute felt insulted
by anything you said,
345
00:16:15,942 --> 00:16:16,976
that's his business.
346
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,712
- I'm gonna kill you, Wayne.
347
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:22,315
(men shouting)
348
00:16:25,618 --> 00:16:29,589
- Grass roots deep and
thick as fleas on a dog.
349
00:16:29,589 --> 00:16:30,890
Look at it, just look at it!
350
00:16:30,890 --> 00:16:33,160
Smell it, taste it, feel it!
351
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,296
If this ain't the richest
gold strike in California
352
00:16:36,296 --> 00:16:38,531
I'm a first cousin
of a mule's hind leg!
353
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,500
- Where'd you get it?
- Polecat Creek!
354
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,236
(men exclaiming)
355
00:16:51,278 --> 00:16:53,380
- Gold, nothing but gold!
356
00:17:06,326 --> 00:17:07,827
- If it's all like this,
357
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,597
there'll be millions dug in
this camp within a month.
358
00:17:12,432 --> 00:17:14,767
I'll take this to Vinegar Pete.
359
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:17,970
Millions!
360
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:21,774
Must be all kinds
of money up there.
361
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:27,147
(door creaks)
362
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:30,250
- And we only took
a measly 100,000.
363
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:32,619
- Shut your mouth, I'm thinking.
364
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:38,591
I'm thinking that what
we might get up there
365
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:41,228
is better than we got here.
366
00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:42,695
- You can't get away with it.
367
00:17:42,695 --> 00:17:44,664
- Let me tell you something.
368
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:47,434
I know miners, they're greedy.
369
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:49,236
After they make a big strike,
370
00:17:49,236 --> 00:17:50,603
they're not gonna
waste a lot of time
371
00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:53,140
toting gold to some
Express office.
372
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:56,543
Not while they can
dig more, uh-uh.
373
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:58,611
They're gonna
leave it right here
374
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,114
with good old
honest Amos Dayton.
375
00:18:01,114 --> 00:18:02,782
- Not anymore they won't
376
00:18:02,782 --> 00:18:04,484
after all that talk Jones made.
377
00:18:04,484 --> 00:18:06,553
- Ah, they'll forget
all about Jones
378
00:18:06,553 --> 00:18:08,087
once I give them
back all their gold.
379
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:09,522
- I don't wanna take the chance.
380
00:18:09,522 --> 00:18:10,857
- You'll do what I say.
381
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:12,759
Come on.
382
00:18:56,203 --> 00:18:59,472
Well here it is, boys,
every speck and penny of it.
383
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:02,141
Every cent them thieving
polecats took from you.
384
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,277
- Well how'd you
know where it was?
385
00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:07,914
- Boys, you don't know how
sick I was about that robbery.
386
00:19:07,914 --> 00:19:11,017
Why I had Piute out most
every day scouting them hills.
387
00:19:11,017 --> 00:19:13,353
- How'd you know it
would still be there?
388
00:19:13,353 --> 00:19:15,154
- Well fellas...
389
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,590
I was figuring that there
was just too much of it
390
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:20,059
for them two fellas
to tote very far.
391
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:21,594
As a matter of fact,
it was Marshal Wayne
392
00:19:21,594 --> 00:19:23,763
who gave me the idea
that it might be buried
393
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:25,832
and they was planning
to come back later
394
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,067
when the coast was
clear and dig it up.
395
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:31,738
Anyhow, we found
it, and here it is!
396
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:34,707
Now fellas, I don't suppose
397
00:19:34,707 --> 00:19:36,509
you wanna leave
it with me again.
398
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,378
After all, I let you down once
399
00:19:38,378 --> 00:19:41,714
and believe me, boys, I
wouldn't blame you one speck
400
00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:43,483
if you never trusted me again.
401
00:19:43,483 --> 00:19:46,286
- Oh it's not a matter
of trusting you, Dayton.
402
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:48,020
But my gold's going
to the Express Company
403
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:50,056
where I'm sure it'll be safe.
404
00:19:50,056 --> 00:19:51,791
- You mean you wanna
waste two whole days
405
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:53,125
toting gold back and forth
406
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:54,827
when you could be
digging a lot more?
407
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:56,396
- You're right, Dayton.
408
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:58,431
As far as I'm concerned,
you can put mine
409
00:19:58,431 --> 00:19:59,699
right back in that safe.
410
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:02,569
- Well that's mighty
nice of you, Shorty.
411
00:20:02,569 --> 00:20:05,305
Yes sir, it's nice when a
man knows he's got friends
412
00:20:05,305 --> 00:20:06,839
that appreciate what
he does for them.
413
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,609
- Well Dayton, you
can take mine too.
414
00:20:09,609 --> 00:20:11,711
- Well add gold for me too.
415
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:12,679
(mem murmuring)
416
00:20:12,679 --> 00:20:13,613
- Why, you fellas are just about
417
00:20:13,613 --> 00:20:16,015
the nicest men I ever did know.
418
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:18,985
- I say we put the whole
thing back in Dayton's safe
419
00:20:18,985 --> 00:20:21,220
and let's go in
and have a wetdown.
420
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:24,223
(men shouting)
421
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:26,959
(dramatic music)
422
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:35,835
- Something you forgot, Dayton,
423
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:37,870
when you were
digging up the gold.
424
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:40,139
- [Shorty] What're you
talking about, Wayne?
425
00:20:40,139 --> 00:20:42,108
- Corbett and Hastings.
426
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:43,943
Both of them shot in the back,
427
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,512
both of them buried
in the same spot
428
00:20:45,512 --> 00:20:47,347
underneath the gold.
429
00:20:47,347 --> 00:20:49,349
Right where Dayton
and Piute put it.
430
00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:51,984
(gunshot booms)
431
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,021
- [Man] Is he dead?
432
00:20:55,021 --> 00:20:56,689
- No, just a crease in his skull
433
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:58,224
to match the one Dayton gave him
434
00:20:58,224 --> 00:21:00,560
to make it look as though
they'd been bushwhacked?
435
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,329
Well, I guess you might as
well haul out of here, men.
436
00:21:02,329 --> 00:21:03,195
This is a dead town.
437
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:05,097
- What do you mean dead?
438
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:07,300
There's a new strike
on Polecat Creek.
439
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:09,502
- Well, sorry about that, boys.
440
00:21:09,502 --> 00:21:12,872
I salted that area
myself with a shotgun.
441
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:14,040
(men exclaiming)
- You what?
442
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,274
- I had to do something to bring
443
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:16,943
Dayton and Piute
out into the open.
444
00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:20,513
I guess men greedy enough to
steal from their own friends
445
00:21:20,513 --> 00:21:23,282
are greedy enough
to believe anything.
446
00:21:24,484 --> 00:21:25,918
Well, goodbye.
447
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:32,091
- Boys, I heard of
salted mines before
448
00:21:32,091 --> 00:21:33,726
but there goes the only man
449
00:21:33,726 --> 00:21:35,995
that ever salted
a whole stampede.
450
00:21:37,397 --> 00:21:40,333
(triumphant music)
451
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:43,970
- Howdy!
452
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:45,104
I figured you'd be along.
453
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:47,774
Oh, be careful of Catastrophe.
454
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:50,009
She's awful touchy today.
455
00:21:51,411 --> 00:21:54,814
Well, all cleaned up,
everything shipshape?
456
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:55,782
- Everything's fine.
457
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,651
- Tell me one thing.
458
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:01,521
How did you know them
fellas was gonna fall for
459
00:22:01,521 --> 00:22:05,925
that story about the
new gold strike, huh?
460
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:08,795
- Well, gold's a funny thing.
461
00:22:08,795 --> 00:22:11,431
Does a lot of queer
things to people.
462
00:22:11,431 --> 00:22:12,532
I'll tell you a story.
463
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:15,768
See there was this old
prospector who died
464
00:22:15,768 --> 00:22:18,170
and he tried to get into heaven.
465
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:19,406
But they wouldn't let him in
466
00:22:19,406 --> 00:22:22,575
because he'd been sent
down to the other place.
467
00:22:22,575 --> 00:22:24,677
So pretty soon his old
prospector friends came
468
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:26,579
and talked to him
through the pearly gates,
469
00:22:26,579 --> 00:22:28,415
asked him how things
were down below.
470
00:22:29,782 --> 00:22:32,184
They talked to him about a
half an hour, but then he left.
471
00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:36,623
Don't you know, pretty soon
every old prospector in heaven
472
00:22:36,623 --> 00:22:40,192
starts stampeding out of there
headed for the other place.
473
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,061
- Well that old scoundrel!
474
00:22:42,061 --> 00:22:44,330
I bet he told 'em there
was gold down there.
475
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:46,332
- That's exactly what he did.
476
00:22:46,332 --> 00:22:48,300
- Hm, sounds like
cousin J. Jameson.
477
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:49,736
(both chuckle)
478
00:22:49,736 --> 00:22:51,137
- Or somebody just like him.
479
00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:52,539
But that's not the whole story.
480
00:22:52,539 --> 00:22:53,806
- Oh?
- Pretty soon
481
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,542
the old prospector
himself came along.
482
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:57,444
He was all packed up,
ready for gold mining,
483
00:22:57,444 --> 00:23:00,012
and they asked him
why he was leaving.
484
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:01,914
He said he was
joining the stampede,
485
00:23:01,914 --> 00:23:04,617
he heard that it was
likely ground down below.
486
00:23:04,617 --> 00:23:06,352
- Well that's just
plain foolish!
487
00:23:06,352 --> 00:23:08,888
He started that story his self.
488
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:10,590
- Which proves my point.
489
00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:13,660
A man will believe any
lie including his own
490
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,995
especially where
gold is concerned.
491
00:23:15,995 --> 00:23:17,530
- Ain't that the simple truth.
492
00:23:19,098 --> 00:23:20,467
- Going prospecting, eh?
493
00:23:20,467 --> 00:23:21,568
- [Vinegar Pete] Yep!
494
00:23:21,568 --> 00:23:22,669
- Where?
495
00:23:22,669 --> 00:23:24,103
- Up on Polecat Creek.
496
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,609
- You said yourself that
ground wasn't worth digging up.
497
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:31,277
- Well you got a brain son,
498
00:23:31,277 --> 00:23:33,446
and you said it looked like
there was gold up there.
499
00:23:33,446 --> 00:23:36,248
- But we salted that
ground ourselves.
500
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:38,918
- Yeah, but I've
been thinking it over
501
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:40,987
and the more I think about it
502
00:23:40,987 --> 00:23:43,222
the more I think there's
gold there just the same.
503
00:23:43,222 --> 00:23:44,924
So I'm gonna go up
there and locate
504
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,659
before the big stampede starts.
505
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,462
Come on, Catastrophe.
506
00:23:51,498 --> 00:23:52,565
Goodbye, Wayne!
507
00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:03,075
- Pretty soon every
old prospector
508
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:05,311
was stampeding out of heaven
509
00:24:05,311 --> 00:24:06,779
heading for the
place down below.
510
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:07,614
Hm.
511
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:12,351
(triumphant music)
512
00:24:16,556 --> 00:24:18,190
* California
513
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:20,860
* Oh I've traveled here,
I've traveled there *
514
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:23,195
* I guess I've been
most everywhere *
515
00:24:23,195 --> 00:24:25,197
* But I like where I am today
516
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:27,333
* And here is where I'll stay
517
00:24:27,333 --> 00:24:29,301
* Now one thing I
just can't endure *
518
00:24:29,301 --> 00:24:31,671
* Is being broke
and being poor *
519
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:33,740
* So I come west
to take the cure *
520
00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:36,442
* And here is where I'll stay
521
00:24:36,442 --> 00:24:41,413
* I've come to
California, California *
522
00:24:41,413 --> 00:24:45,017
* There's gold in them
