THERE SHE IS, BOYS.

THE LITTLE LADY I'VE COME BACK TO. AHOY, MATEY!

YOU LANDLUBBER SOLDIER. YOU'RE GOING TO DOCK ?

SURE AM, COMMODORE, FOR GOOD. WELL, THEN DROP ANCHOR.

AH, I'VE MISSED YOU, SOLDIER.

I FELT SORT OF LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER.

WHERE'S YOUR UNIFORM ? IN THAT BAG.

AND YOU CAN HANG IT UP IN MOTHBALLS TILL THE NEXT WAR.

YES, SIR, PEACE AND QUIET. THIS IS FOR ME.

EVERYTHING'S JUST LIKE ALWAYS, EVEN THE COMMODORE.

SAY, COMMODORE, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE UP KNITTIN' ? ME ?

IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO BE BEACHED ON THIS RANCH.

[Airplane Engine Roaring]

FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN ONE OF THOSE THINGS IN A LONG TIME.

WHAT YOU BEEN FLYIN', KITES ?

[Chuckles] I MEAN A PUTT-PUTT.

[whinnying y

WHAT'S HE LOOKIN' FOR, A TARGET ?

WATCH OUT YOU AIN'T IT, MATEY. THAT AIRSHIP'S GOT A CREW OF ONE GIRL.

YEAH, SHE BOUGHT THE NEXT RANCH WHILE YOU WERE GONE. HER NAME'S KIT BARLOW.

SHE'S OPERATIN' A THOROUGHBRED BREEDING FARM.

APPEARED TO HAVE HER SIGHTS TRAINED ON YOU.

IT DID LOOK LIKE SHE DIPPED HER WING.

SERGEANT, LOOK OUT FOR SHOALS.

WHAT DO YA GOT FOR CHOW, COMMODORE ? DID YOU KILL THE FATTED CALF ?

NO, COULDN'T GET THESE THREE AWAY FROM THAT PESKY STALLION LONG ENOUGH.

[ Both Complaining 1 IT WAS A SURPRISE.

SPENDING A THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE MATEY'S MONEY'S GONNA BE MORE LIKE A SHOCK.

YOU BOYS BOUGHT A STALLION ? UH-HUH.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT HIM.

BUT DON'T BE LONG, BECAUSE CHOW'S NEARLY READY.

SAME OLD COMMODORE.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE WAITIN' FOR ?

ARE YOU MR. AUTRY ? YES.

YOU MISS BARLOW ? YES.

YOU KNOW THE BOYS ? NO, I DON'T.

BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT WE'RE ALL GONNA BECOME VERY WELL ACQUAINTED.

OH, DO COME AND MEET MY TRAINER, MR. YOUNG. SURE.

CAL, YOU SHOULD KNOW-- FRED, JERRY, BERT AND GENE

HOWDY. HOW DO YOU DO ?

WELL, NOW ISN'T THIS CLUBBY ?

I CAN CALL YOU ALL BY YOUR FIRST NAMES INSTEAD OF JUST PLAIN HORSE THIEVES.

I THINK THAT TAKES A LITTLE EXPLAINING. ON YOUR PART, MR. AUTRY.

I SPOTTED MY STALLION IN YOUR CORRAL. THE BOYS BOUGHT DON DIABLO.

- SURE. FAIR AND SQUARE. - DON DIABLO WAS STOLEN FROM OUR STABLES YESTERDAY.

WHY, YOU-- HOLD IT.

HE'S CALLIN' US RUSTLERS. RETURN MISS BARLOW'S HORSE, AND THEN YOU CAN EXPLAIN.

LET ME HANG ONE ON HIM FIRST, THEN WE'LL EXPLAIN. TAKE IT EASY.

WE'LL TAKE DON DIABLO NOW.

YOU CHUMP. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ? IT WAS YOUR IDEA.

I GOT THE MAN TO THROW THE HALTER IN, DIDN'T I ?

WHEN YOU WERE FLYIN' OVER, I THOUGHT I SAW YOU DIP A WING.

YOUR IMAGINATION, NO DOUBT.

YEAH, YOU'D HARDLY SALUTE A RUSTLER. THAT WAS CAL'S ACCUSATION.

I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN GETTING BACK MY HORSE. I DON'T BLAME YOU.

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL.

[Engine Rumbles, Backfires]

HEY, STEADY, BOY. STEADY. WHOA. WHOA, BOY. WHOA. HERE, WHOA.

HERE. HEY, STEADY, BOY. STEADY. STEADY, NOW.

STEADY.

HE'S GONNA JUMP US. GET DOWN!

HE'S WONDERFUL.

AND HE'S NOT SO BAD EITHER.

HERE'S YOUR $2,000, MISS BARLOW.

AND THE THOUSAND YOU FELLAS WERE TAKEN FOR MAKES $3,000 AND NO HORSE.

HERE'S YOUR BILL OF SALE FOR DON DIABLO. THAT COMPLETES THE TRANSACTION.

NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE DELIVERY TO YOURSELF.

WE'LL GET HIM, ALL RIGHT.

BYE. BYE.

DON'T WORRY, GENE. YOU WON'T BE OUT YOUR MONEY. WE'LL CATCH THAT STALLION.

IF WE DON'T, YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT OF OUR PAY. OUR PAY ?

YOU MEAN OUT OF YOUR PAY. I TOLD YOU NOT TO BUY THAT HORSE.

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND ALL I'VE GOT'S A HALTER.

HEY, COMMODORE.

HEY, COMMODORE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS KNOT.

THAT'S A MONKEY FIST, TIED BY A SEAFARIN' MAN.

HE SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO FIND AROUND THIS NECK OF THE WOODS.

MATEY, YOU STAY AND EAT. IF IT'S A KNOT YOU WANT, I'll TIE IT.

IT'S A MAN I'M LOOKIN' FOR.

HELLO, SAM. HELLO, GENE. GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

IT'S A MIGHTY GOOD PLACE TO BE. IT IS. CAN I HELP YOU ?

YEAH, A LITTLE INFORMATION.

DO YOU STOCK THIS TYPE OF HALTER ?

WELL, YES, THAT'S A STANLEY MODEL. SELLS FOR $3.50.

I WONDER IF YOU SOLD THIS ONE, AND WHO TO.

WELL, 'BOUT ALL I CAN DO IS LET YOU LOOK OVER MY SALES SLIPS.

'COURSE, I DON'T SELL THEM WITH THESE DOOHICKEYS ON THEM.

HE MEANS A MONKEY'S FIST.

YOU AN EX-SAILOR, KID ? NO, A JOCKEY.

WELL, KIND OF "EX" AT THAT.

HOW COME YOU'RE SO FAMILIAR WITH A MONKEY FIST ?

WELL, DROOPY STEARNS IS A PAL OF MINE. JUST GOT OUT OF THE MERCHANT MARINE.

BOY, HE CAN SURE TIE 'EM. DROOPY STEARNS ?

I WONDER IF HE'D FASHION ONE FOR ME. I'D PAY HIM

FOR A BUCK, HE'D TIE HIMSELF IN A KNOT.

KID HERE'S LOOKING FOR A JOB. I WAS JUST GONNA TELL HIM TO LOOK UP CAL YOUNG.

MISTER, CAL YOUNG IS THE REASON I'M OUT OF SHAPE.

I'll GO ALONG WITH YA.

[Grunts]

TAKE IT EASY, KID.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THIS IS MY FIRST WORKOUT.

GUESS I NEED SOME MORE REST.

I'll DRIVE YOU OVER. OH, NO, THANKS. I GOTTA GET USED TO WALKIN'.

SAY, UH, DROOPY COULD SURE USE A BUCK OR TWO.

IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE MARKET, HE'S AT THE HAMLIN APARTMENTS, THREE DOORS DOWN.

THANK YOU.

YOU BETTER LOOK FOR THE NAME MALLOY ON THE LETTER BOX.

MALLOY ?

[Man ] YES ? AUTRY'S MY NAME.

I WAS TOLD I COULD FIND DROOPY STEARNS HERE.

I'M SORRY, BUT HE ISN'T HERE RIGHT NOW. I'll WAIT.

WH-WHAT'S THE HALTER FOR ?

FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

OF COURSE, THE SELLER THREW IN A STOLEN HORSE.

I COME TO GET MY MONEY BACK. WE HAVEN'T GOT YOUR MONEY.

THEN YOU ADMIT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE THIEF. I DON'T LIKE THAT!

YOU WON'T LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOIN' EITHER,

AND I DON'T LIKE SENDIN' YOU THERE.

[Dialing]

HELLO, OPERATOR ?

[Woman ] WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU CALLING ?

BETTER HANG UP.

[Man] RICK! HEY, RICK.

OKAY, YOU WIN, BUT GIVE ME A BREAK.

GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES TO GET RID OF MY KID BROTHER, THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CALL.

I'll GIVE YOU A BREAK, BUT REMEMBER, NO FUNNY STUFF

HIYA, RICK. HIYA, KID. HOW'D IT GO ?

OH, LIKE A BREEZE, LIKE A BREEZE.

OH, HERE NOW, TAKE IT EASY. COME ON, SIT DOWN

AH, DON'T LET IT WORRY YOU.

BEFORE LONG, YOU'LL BE BACK RIDING WINNERS AGAIN.

MY BROTHER'S WON THE BEST OF 'EM.

YEAH, AND RICK'S A TOP HORSE TRAINER, WHEN HE'S NOT BUSY PLAYING MOTHER HEN.

TED, MEET MR. AUTRY. I DID, IN SAM'S. I SENT HIM UP HERE.

HE'S GOT A JOB FOR DROOPY.

WELL, UH, MR. AUTRY IS THE MAN WHO LOANED ME THE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

[Ted ] WELL, THANKS A LOT, MR. AUTRY.

YOU SEE, THAT'S WHAT BAILED ME OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

BUT YOU CAN MAKE BOOK ON RICK PAYIN' IT BACK.

THAT'S NOT THE DEAL, FOR HIM TO PAY IT BACK.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO WORK IT OUT.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOUR PHONE CALL ?

WELL, I NEED A HORSE TRAINER.

OF COURSE, IF YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE JOB, I--

I WON'T HAVE TO CALL SOMEBODY ELSE.

WELL, NO NEED TO CALL SOMEBODY ELSE, MR. AUTRY.

WITH RICK, WELL, YOU'VE GOT THE BEST.

THANKS.

THANKS FOR THE BREAK. WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE SINCE--

SINCE THE KID'S ACCIDENT ? IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

HE WAS IN LINE TO WIN THE SAN ANTONIO-- AND 10,000 ADDED--

UNTIL ANOTHER HORSE DELIBERATELY CRASHED OURS INTO THE RAIL DURING A MORNING WORKOUT.

AND THAT LEFT RICK WITH A DEAD HORSE...

AND A FINISHED JOCKEY.

KID, YOU'RE GONNA RIDE AGAIN.

AH, NO, RICK, I-- I'M THROUGH.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU MEANT IN THE TACK SHOP.

CAL YOUNG, HUH ? HE MUST BE QUITE A GUY.

HE'S FAMOUS FOR GETTING RID OF COMPETITION BEFORE A RACE.

[ Door Opens I

HI, GUYS.

COULDN'T TOUT A DIME.

US GETTIN' OUT OF THIS BERG IS A MILLION-TO-ONE SHOT.

CHEER UP, DROOPY. WE'VE GOT US A WINNER. YEAH ?

THANKS. WHAT'S HIS NAME ? AUTRY.

AUTRY ? NEVER HEARD OF A HORSE NAMED AUTRY.

DID YOU EVER HEAR OF ONE NAMED DON DIABLO ?

[Clears Throat, High Voice] IS HE--

IS HE A BIG HORSE WITH A--

RED AND WITH MANE HANGING ALL DOWN AND...

FOUR, UH, LEGS ?

YES, AND HE RAN AWAY ON ALL FOUR OF THEM...

RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT HIM FROM THE BARLOW RANCH.

HE, UH, RAN AWAY ? YES.

[Nervous Giggling ] NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

I KNOW THE DON. HE'LL SIRE SOME GREAT HORSES FOR YOU, GENE.

HE WILL JUST AS SOON AS DROOPY CATCHES HIM. OH, NO, LOOK!

I GOTTA LOOK FOR WORK. NO, YOU FOUND IT. WE'RE WORKING FOR AUTRY.

YOU'RE AUTRY ? YES, GENE AUTRY.

WELL, HOW DO YOU-- HOW DO YOU DO ?

GET YOUR TRAPPINGS. WE'RE HEADIN' FOR THE RANCH.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S FOR ME. THOSE WIDE-OPEN RANCHES.

NO BARS OR ANYTHING. GET YOUR TRAPPINGS.

GOOD GUY. GET YOUR TRAPPINGS.

GOOD KID.

WELL, TED, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT ?

AH, THIS IS CLOVER.

[Exhales] UH-OH. THERE ARE THE BOYS WE DID THE BUSINESS WITH.

HI, FELLAS.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ? ONE FOR EACH OF US.

THE KID'S NOT IN ON THIS SETUP. SEE THAT YOU KEEP IT THAT WAY.

FELLAS, I WANT YOU TO MEET RICK'S BROTHER, TED MALLOY.

- HOWDY. - HE'S A LITTLE OFF HIS FEED RIGHT NOW,

SO I'M TURNIN' HIM OVER TO THE COMMODORE.

[Jerry] FINE. THEN WE CAN TAKE CARE OF RICK AND DROOPY.

OH, I GUESS YOU FELLAS DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE RICK AND GOOD OLD DROOPY AGAIN SO SOON.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BUB. IT'S A REAL PLEASURE.

A JOY INDEED. PERMIT ME TO TAKE YOUR BAGGAGE.

YES, SIR. HERE, I'll CARRY THIS.

YES, SIR. YOU'RE NOT BUSY. YOU CAN HAVE THAT ONE.

THIS WAY TO THE BUNKHOUSE. THESE ARE TED'S. I'll TAKE 'EM.

HERE, LET ME CARRY THIS, RICK. IT'S TOO HEAVY FOR YOU. ARE YOU KIDDIN' ?

I NEVER FELT LESS LIKE KIDDIN' IN MY LIFE.

YOU TWO BETTER COME WITH ME TILL THE KID'S BEDDED DOWN.

HA. GOOD IDEA. BRING THE SADDLE, BUD.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE RICK A HAND. THAT'S ALL RIGHT, BUB.

- WE CAN TAKE CARE OF IT. - LET ME TAKE DROOPY'S PLACE. HIS EYE BOTHERS HIM.

DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE BEAT-UP HEAD ABOUT ME, PAL.

HOW DID YOU TWO GET SO FRIENDLY SO FAST ?

OH, WE JUST DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME STRAIGHTENING EACH OTHER OUT.

WELL, LET'S DON'T WASTE ANY TIME AND GET TO WORK.

SWELL BUNCH. YEAH, ESPECIALLY THAT BERT.

AIN'T IT PRETTY ? [Giggles] [Chuckling 1

WHAT'S SPOOKIN' THOSE HORSES ? I'll FIND OUT.

YOU GET 'EM BACK ON OUR OWN RANGE.

WHOA. I'M SORRY MY HORSES BROKE THROUGH.

OH, IT'S MY FAULT. YOU KNOW, A BROKEN FENCE IS AN INVITATION.

I GOT A COUPLE OF MY HANDS FIXIN' IT.

SORT OF A GOOD-NEIGHBOR POLICY ?

WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT THAT.

[ Snorting, Whinnying ]

YOU SURE KEEP YOUR MARES IN GOOD SHAPE.

THEY'RE MY OATS. THAT'S DAME QUICKLY LEADING THEM.

SAY, DIDN'T SHE WIN THE QUEEN'S DERBY LAST YEAR ? MM-HMM.

SHE'D BETTER WIN IT AGAIN THIS YEAR TOO. [Whistles]

THEY SURE TAKE YOUR ORDERS.

THEY EXPECT TO TAKE SUGAR. I HAVE SOME IN MY SADDLE BAG.

[ Snorting ]

[whinnying y

- IT'S THE DON. - [Whinnying 1

IF I CAN GET MY BOYS IN TIME, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CATCH HIM.

YOU STAY HERE AND KEEP AN EYE ON HIM TILL WE GET BACK.

COME ON NOW, DON.

ACT LIKE A GENTLEMAN.

[ Snorting ]

EASY, BOY. EASY.

HELP! [Whinnies]

HELP!

HELP! HELP!

HELP!

YOU TRY TO FIND THE BOYS.

- [Whinnying Continues] - HELP!

WHOA, BOY. EASY.

THAT-A BOY. NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU.

DON ! WHOA!

WHOA, BOY. EASY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, KIT ? OH, YES.

THANKS TO YOU. [ Hoof beats Approaching]

YOU RATE A BOW, GENE. I KNOW DON DIABLO. YOU DO ?

MISS BARLOW, MR. MALLOY. HOW DO YOU DO ?

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAUGHT YOURSELF A HORSE. YEAH.

ARE YOU BREAKING HORSES NOW ?

YEAH, AND PATCHING UP A JOCKEY.

YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED, MALLOY. STILL A SOREHEAD.

- THAT'S BY WAY OF A TIP, AUTRY. - YOUNG, I PLAY MY OWN HUNCHES.

RICK, I COULDN'T FIND THE BOYS.

THAT'S THE DOPEY-LOOKING BIRD I SAW HANGING AROUND THE STABLES...

THE DAY THE DON WAS STOLEN.

AND HE'S YOUR STOOGE. IT'S EASY TO ADD THAT SCORE UP.

MALLOY THINKS HE HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST ME,

SO HE TRIES TO SQUARE IT OFF BY STEALING THE DON.

LOAN ME A NICKEL, MALLOY. I WANT TO CALL THE SHERIFF.

SURE. HERE'S YOUR NICKEL.

WHEN THEY CATCH MALLOY, AND THEY WILL,

I'll ADD AN ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGE.

YOU'D BETTER MAKE A LIST.

[Engine Starts]

- [Whinnies] - THERE, TAKE IT EASY.

[Tires Screeching]

[Whinnies]

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, GENE, BUT-- WELL, ALL I CAN DO IS APOLOGIZE FOR CAL

DON'T EVEN TRY. THAT'D TAKE YOU INTO TOO MUCH TERRITORY.

JUST WHO IS RICK MALLOY ?

HE'S A HOTHEADED FRIEND OF MINE. I'll REMEMBER THAT.

I HOPE YOU'LL REMEMBER IT WHEN THE SHERIFF COMES AROUND.

GO TO THE CORRAL, CHAMP.

HELLO, JONESY. LOOKIN' FOR ME ?

NOT YET, GENE.

FOR RICK MALLOY AND DROOPY STEARNS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BRINGIN' THAT FLOTSAM IN WITH THE TIDE.

[Jones y] LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SLIPPIN', GENE,

LETTIN' A COUPLE OF SHARPIES UNLOAD A STOLEN HORSE ON YOU.

[Commodore] YOU CAN ADD PETTY LARCENY, SHERIFF.

DROOPY BARGED INTO MY GALLEY, LOADED UP WITH GRUB, THEN LAID A COURSE TO THE DESERT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, GENE ?

A LOT MORE THAN CAL YOUNG'S READY TO ADMIT. HE SWORE OUT THE WARRANT, DIDN'T HE ?

YES, ON BEHALF OF KIT BARLOW.

YOU'D BETTER FIND OUT IF SHE'S WILLING TO PROSECUTE.

WASN'T CAL ACTING ON HER ORDERS ? YOU'D BETTER FIND THAT OUT TOO.

I WILL. I'll GO SEE HER RIGHT AWAY.

[Door Closes] YOU DIDN'T LEND RICK A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

HE STOLE A HORSE TO GET IT.

HE DID IT FOR YOU, TED. THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

OF COURSE, THE COMMODORE HAS A CHARGE TO PRESS.

I AIN'T EVER THROWN ANYONE IN THE BRIG,

AND I'M NOT STARTIN' WITH RICK MALLOY.

BUT I HEARD YOU TELL THE SHERIFF HE WAS HEADED FOR THE DESERT.

AH, THEY LIT OUT FOR THE HILLS.

YOU'RE LEANIN' PRETTY HEAVY ON THAT CANE.

YOU'D BETTER GET SOME REST.

YEAH.

I BEEN LEANIN' HEAVY ON EVERYONE FOR QUITE A WHILE.

I'VE GOT A DEBT TO PAY,

AND I CAN'T DO IT WITH HOBBLES ON.

NOT BAD FOR A LAME HAS-BEEN.

THEY COME IN THE MONEY ONCE IN A WHILE, EVEN IN HANDICAPS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE AT LEAST BROUGHT MY SADDLE BACK.

FROM THAT STALLION, YOU DON'T GET NOTHIN' BACK. EXCEPT TROUBLE.

WE GOT MORE TROUBLE, BOYS.

RICK AND DROOPY HAVE HEADED FOR THE HILLS, DODGIN' A WARRANT.

- CAL YOUNG SENT THE SHERIFF AFTER 'EM. - DOES THE KID KNOW ABOUT IT ?

HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. HE'S DECIDED TO STAND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET AND MAKE 'EM WORK.

IT'S UP TO US TO GET HIM BACK TO RIDIN'.

,6O,6O

,6O,6O [Continues] COMMODORE, WHY DO YOU WORK WITH THAT NET ?

WELL, WHY DO YOU OIL THAT SADDLE ?

WELL, I FIGURE SOME DAY I MIGHT FIND A RACEHORSE TO THROW IT ON.

AND I FIGURE THAT SOME DAY I MIGHT FIND AN OCEAN TO THROW THIS NET IN.

GOT A HANKERIN' FOR THE SEA TONIGHT, COMMODORE ?

IT USED TO BE MY HOME, GENE.

LET'S TELL HER ABOUT OUR HOME, BOYS.

,6O GOT THE STARRY SKY ,6O

,6O FOR A ROOF ABOVE MY HEAD ,6O

[Together] ,6O THAT'S MY HOME ,6O

,6O GOT THE ROLLIN' PLAINS ,6O

,6O AND THE SOFT PINE FOR MY BED ,6O

,6O THAT'S MY HOME ,6O

[Gene] ,6O GOT THE SUN ON MY DOORSTEP ,6O

,6O EVERY DAWNIN' ,6O

,6O MOON ON MY PILLOW ,6O

,6O EVERY NIGHT ,6O

,6O BIRDS WAKE ME EARLY EVERY MORNIN' ,6O

,6O TO START MY DAY OFF RIGHT ,6O

,6O GOT THE MOUNTAIN RANGE ,6O

,6O FOR AN ALTAR WHEN I PRAY ,6O

,6O THAT'S MY HOME ,6O

,6O AND THE RUNNIN' STREAM ,6O

,6O TO GO FISHIN' ANY DAY ,6O

,6O THAT'S MY HOME ,6O

,6O GOT MY BOOTS AND SADDLE ,6O

,6O AND MY HORSE FOR COMPANY ,6O

,6O GOT THE OPEN SPACE ,6O

,6O FAR AS ANY MAN CAN SEE ,6O

,6O LONG AS I CAN RIDE THE RANGE ,6O

,6O WHEREVER THAT MAY BE ,6O

,6O THAT'S MY HOME ,6O,6O

,6O,6O

MUST BE GREAT TO RIDE A WINNER.

YEAH, IT IS GREAT,

BUT THE REAL JOB'S TRAINING HIM TO BE A WINNER.

YOU KNOW HOW IT'S DONE ? I OUGHTA. I'VE WATCHED RICK OFTEN ENOUGH.

WHAT'S HIS METHOD ?

WELL, HE-- HE MAKES THEM WANT TO BE TRAINED.

WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT RACING MEANS FUN AND EXCITEMENT AND BEING PRAISED,

WELL, UH, A THOROUGHBRED WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING HE'S GOT.

YOU'VE GOT SOME GOOD STOCK HERE, GENE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED, TED: A THOROUGHBRED THAT'LL FEEL AT HOME UNDER THIS.

UH, LOOK, I GOTTA GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.

THAT SMASH WAS MORE THAN JUST MY HIDE. WELL, IT TOOK THE HEART OUT OF ME.

WELL, MAYBE WE CAN BORROW SOMETHING THAT'LL GET YOUR HEART BACK.

BRING THIS ALONG. WE'RE GOIN' CALLIN'.

,6O,6O [Piano]

,60,6O [Continues]

WHAT DID WE COME HERE FOR, GENE ?

SIT TIGHT, KID. YOU'LL FIND OUT.

,60,6O [Continues]

,6O I MET HER BY THE RIVER ,6O

,6O OF THE ROSES ,6O

,6O THE SWEETEST GIRL THIS SIDE ,6O

,6O OF THE ALAMO ,6O

,6O,6O

,6O,6O

,6O,6O

,6O,6O

,6O,6O

WELL, VERY GOOD. YOU MAKE SERENADING SOUND LIKE AN OLD SPANISH CUSTOM.

IT IS. ARE YOU, UH, STILL PROMOTING THE GOOD-NEIGHBOR POLICY ?

WELL, IN A WAY, YES.

I CAME OVER TO ASK A FAVOR AND TO TELL A VERY INTERESTING STORY.

- WHAT'S THE FAVOR ? - I GUESS I'D BETTER START WITH THE STORY.

IT'S ABOUT A KID WHO'S LOST HIS WILL TO RIDE, ON ACCOUNT OF CAL YOUNG.

HIS FUTURE AS A JOCKEY DEPENDS ON WHETHER OR NOT-- [ Horse Whinnying]

THAT'S DEBBIE. IT MEANS SOMEONE'S IN THE STABLE.

OH, GENE, WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME A MINUTE ? I'll GO WITH YOU.

AH, DEBBIE, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

EVERY INCH A RACEHORSE, EVERY INCH A THOROUGHBRED.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO PLACES TOGETHER, DEBBIE, YOU AND ME.

RIGHT OUT IN FRONT, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FINISH,

WITH THE REST OF 'EM RIGHT BEHIND US.

DO YOU LIKE HER, TED ?

OH, HELLO, MISS BARLOW.

AH, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT HER BREEDING WAS.

BY DEBUREAU, OUT OF PENELOPE.

IT'S GOOD BLOOD ON BOTH SIDES.

THAT'S WHY SHE'S A DISAPPOINTMENT.

HASN'T SHE WON ANY RACES ? NO.

I'VE ENTERED HER IN THE QUEEN'S DERBY,

BUT I'M AFRAID I'M GONNA HAVE TO SCRATCH HER.

SHE'S NOT EVEN A RUNNING MATE FOR DAME QUICKLY.

THIS YOUR OLD SADDLE, TED ?

OH... THAT'S SORT OF A MASCOT.

MIGHT BRING US BOTH LUCK. WHY DON'T GET YOURSELF A HALTER AND TAKE HER ON HOME.

TRAINING STARTS IN THE MORNING.

DON'T GO AWAY, DEBBIE. I'll BE RIGHT BACK.

[Whinnies]

THANKS, KIT.

WHAT'S YOUNG GOIN' TO SAY ABOUT THIS ?

CAL WON'T BE AROUND TO PREP DEBBIE.

HE'S DOWN AT THE TRACK, LINING UP JOCKEYS AND STABLING.

COULD YOU COME OVER AND WATCH US WORK OUT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS ?

YOU BET. AH, WE'LL SHOW HER WHAT WE CAN DO.

WON'T WE, DEBBIE ? COME ON.

WELL, GENE, WEREN'T YOU GOING TO ASK A FAVOR ? I WAS,

BUT YOU JUST GRANTED IT.

YOU THINK DEBBIE'S GOT ANYTHING TO SHOW ? PLENTY.

LET HER OUT, THEN. COME ON, DEBBIE. HA!

LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, KIT. SHE CERTAINLY DOES.

OH, TED, SHE'S SHAPING UP WONDERFULLY.

SHE'LL DO A LOT BETTER. SHE'S ONLY HAD A FEW DAYS' TRAINING.

YEAH, BUT YOU GOT HER REACHIN' FOR DISTANCE.

- HOW'D YOU IMPROVE HER STRIDE ? - OH, IT'S AN OLD TRICK MY BROTHER TAUGHT ME.

- HE MAKES THEM WANNA BE TRAINED. - HOW'S HE DO THAT ?

WHEN THEY LIKE YOU WELL ENOUGH, RICK SAYS AN ANIMAL WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING TO PLEASE YOU.

A GOOD ANIMAL, YES. WELL, LET'S TAKE HER BACK TO THE RANCH.

SEE YOU LATER, KIT. BYE, MISS BARLOW.

BYE.

THIS IS ON ME, DEBBIE, 'CAUSE I GOT A HUNCH YOU'RE GOIN' PLACES.

YOU'RE DEAD RIGHT, MALLOY. DEBUTANTE'S GOIN' BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS.

BUT I'VE HAD HER IN TRAINING.

THE WAY SHE'S SHAPING UP, I THINK HE'S DONE A FAIR JOB.

I TRAIN THE BARLOW HORSES EXCLUSIVELY.

MISS BARLOW SAID IT WAS ALL RIGHT. STEP OUTSIDE A MINUTE, TED.

I WANT TO HAVE A TALK WITH MR. YOUNG.

YOUNG, YOU'VE BEEN AROUND THE TRACK A LONG TIME.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

TED LOST MORE THAN HIS BALANCE IN THAT CRACKUP.

HE LOST HIS WILL TO RIDE.

LENDING HIM DEBBIE WAS KIT'S WAY OF HELPING HIM.

SHE FORGOT THAT MY CONTRACT MAKES ME BOSS OF HER HORSES,

AND I DON'T LEASE THEM OUT TO RIDERS WHO'VE GONE YELLOW.

OKAY, SANDY, COME AND GET HER.

YOUNG, IF YOU TAKE DEBBIE, TED'S THROUGH AS A JOCKEY.

GET WISE, AUTRY. TED IS THROUGH.

I'll TAKE HER.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THAT HALTER. I WON'T DO IT.

I'M TRAININ' THIS FILLY, AND SHE'S GONNA STAY HERE.

YOU'RE NOT HOPING TO RIDE DEBBIE IN THE QUEEN'S ? THAT'S WHAT KIT FIGURED ON.

LOOK, MY WEIGHT'S RIGHT AND MY HANDS ARE STEADY NOW.

I CAN GIVE DEBBIE A GOOD RIDE. HA. THAT'S A LAUGH.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THAT HALTER.

STAY OUT OF THIS, KID. OHH!

COME ON, GENE. HIT HIM I HIT HIM!

COME ON. HIT HIM, GENE.

WATCH THAT BOX, GENE!

HIT HIM WITH THAT LEFT. LEFT, GENE, LEFT!

LOOK OUT, GENE!

GIVE IT TO HIM, GENE. HIT HIM WITH THE LEFT, NOW THE RIGHT!

OHH 1

I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT HANG AROUND AND MAKE TROUBLE FOR AUTRY.

THAT KIND OF TROUBLE'S A PLEASURE.

LET HIM TAKE THE FILLY, TED.

ALL RIGHT, SANDY.

LOOK, MR. YOUNG, ALL I NEED IS A CHANCE.

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE AND MUFFED IT.

WHY DON'T YOU GET WISE, KID ?

WHEN A JOCKEY ONCE LOSES IT HERE, IT'S LOST.

IT NEVER COMES BACK. NEVER!

THAT MEANS YOU'RE THROUGH.

YOU'RE WASHED UP, KID. YOU'RE WASHED UP.

[ Door Closes]

[whinnying y

[Whinnying Continues]

THAT HORSE SOUNDS LIKE HE NEEDS HELP.

YEAH, EITHER THAT OR SOMEBODY'S TWISTIN' HIS TAIL.

[Whinnying Continues]

[ Droopy] WHY, IT'S DON DIABLO. [ Whinnies]

WHY, THE POOR DEVIL PROBABLY HASN'T HAD FOOD AND WATER FOR DAYS.

YEAH, WILL HE BE GLAD TO HAVE US TURN HIM LOOSE, HUH ?

UH, HOLD IT, DROOPY. WHAT FOR ?

WE CAN USE THAT STALLION.

[Droopy] 0l-|, NO, THAT STALLION'S CAUSED us ENOUGH TROUBLE ALREADY.

UH, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

NOW HE'S GONNA GET US OUT OF IT.

YOU TAKE OUR HORSES BACK TO CAMP. I'll BE IN LATER.

YEAH, IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

[ Hoof beats Departing ]

[Whinnying Continues]

ATTA BOY, DON. DRINK UP, AND I'll GET YOU SOME MORE.

YOU KNOW, PRETTY SOON YOU'LL BE EATING OUT OF MY HAND,

AND I DON'T MEAN JUST GRASS.

HEY, YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT CORRAL ALL DAY. IT'S NOT GONNA HOLD HIM.

IT WASN'T MEANT TO HOLD HIM. WATCH.

COME ON, DON.

ATTA BOY, DON. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TODAY.

HE'S LEARNING FAST.

LEARNIN' WHAT ?

HOW TO SQUARE MY ACCOUNT WITH CAL YOUNG.

COME ON. LET'S EAT. WHAT ARE WE GONNA EAT ? WE'RE ALL OUTTA GRUB.

WELL, WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE, SO YOU BETTER RUSTLE SOME UP.

AND WHERE AM I GONNA RUSTLE IT FROM ? OH... THE COMMODORE.

OH, NO, NO, RICK. THAT OLD SEA DOG'S BEEN KIND TO US.

I DON'T WANT TO GET HER IN TROUBLE.

I WOULDN'T THINK OF LETTING YOU IMPOSE ON HER HOSPITALITY.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA ASK HER. THEN HOW AM I GONNA GET IT ?

BORROW IT. OH, SURE, THAT'S EASY.

WELL, BLOW ME DOWN IF I HAVEN'T HAULED IN A WALLEYED PIKE!

HI, MISS COMMODORE. I WAS JUST--

YEAH, GOIN' BACK WITH A FEW MEASLY EGGS.

HOW ARE YOU TWO GONNA KEEP BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER WITHOUT BEANS AND COFFEE AND BACON 9

COME ON. I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET GENE IN TROUBLE.

HE'S ALREADY IN IT. TED'S JUMPED SHIP, LEFT A NOTE

GENE'S OVER AT KIT BARLOW'S.

I WAS PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS, KIT.

DEBBIE ISN'T JUST ANOTHER FILLY. SHE'S A DERBY ENTRY.

THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. TED'S GONE, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE.

OH, HE'LL SHOW UP AROUND THE TRACK. HANGERS-ON ALWAYS DO.

YOU BETTER BE HOPIN' WE'LL FIND HIM.

BECAUSE HE'S RIDING DEBBIE IN THE QUEEN'S.

UNDER MY CONTRACT, I SAY WHO RIDES.

HOW LONG HAS YOUR CONTRACT GOT TO RUN ?

ANOTHER YEAR. WHAT'LL YOU TAKE TO TEAR IT UP ?

YOU HAVEN'T GOT $10,000, HAVE YOU, AUTRY ?

NO, BUT I MIGHT RAISE IT.

WILL YOU TAKE A POSTDATED CHECK ?

SURE. WHY NOT ?

BUT KIT-- YOU'RE TAKING QUITE A GAMBLE.

NOT WITH DAME QUICKLY RUNNING.

I'll TAKE YOUR CONTRACT.

[Whinnying, Banging]

IT'S DON DIABLO. AND DAME QUICKLY'S OUT THERE.

THIS WAY.

[whinnying y

QUICK, BOYS. SADDLE UP AND GET AFTER 'EM.

HOLD IT, BOYS. I WOULDN'T CHASE 'EM.

THOSE MARES WILL STICK TO THAT STALLION TILL THEY DROP.

BUT DAME QUICKLY'S DUE AT THE TRACK TOMORROW.

SHE'LL BE NO GOOD IF SHE RUNS HER LEGS OFF TONIGHT.

GENE'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHY I TRAINED THE DON TO STEAL YOUR ENTRY.

I WANT A CLEAN SLATE FOR DROOPY AND ME.

YOU'VE ALREADY GOT ONE. YOU HAD ONE.

NOW YOU'RE FACING A NEW CHARGE: STEALING A DERBY ENTRY.

THAT'S GONNA BE HARD TO PROVE.

TOO MANY PEOPLE SAW THE DON STEAL THOSE MARES.

YOU CAN'T PIN IT ON ME. LISTEN, RICK.

YOUNG DID SEND THE SHERIFF OUT AFTER YOU, BUT NOW--

I'll SQUARE THINGS FOR DROOPY IN MY OWN WAY.

YOUNG, YOU BETTER GET ON THE PHONE AND DROP THOSE CHARGES.

THAT IS, IF YOU WANT YOUR ENTRY BACK IN CONDITION BEFORE THE DERBY.

PERSONALLY, IT WILL BE TO MY ADVANTAGE IF DAME QUICKLY DOESN'T RUN.

SO LONG, KIT.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PULL A THING LIKE THIS, RICK.

KIT HAD ALREADY GIVEN YOU A CLEAN SLATE WITH THE LAW.

GOSH, I'M SORRY, MISS BARLOW.

WHERE'VE YOU BEEN KEEPING THE DON ? AT WILLOW BROOK.

IF WE'RE LUCKY, THAT'S WHERE HE'LL TAKE THOSE MARES.

RICK, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT ?

NEVER MIND THAT. WHERE'S THE DON ? DON'T ASK ME.

RICK TOOK HIM AWAY, AND THEY DIDN'T COME BACK.

WELL, THERE GO MY DERBY HOPES.

LET'S SCATTER OUT AND LOOK FOR 'EM.

YEAH, THEY'RE SOMEWHERE OUT IN THESE MOUNTAINS.

FRED, I'll BET YOU COULD SPOT 'EM FROM THE TOP OF ANGEL'S BUTTE.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, AN EAGLE ? - AN EAGLE.

THAT'S THE WAY TO FIND THOSE MARES-- FROM THE SKY.

LIKE YOU LOCATED THE DON IN MY CORRAL.

FROM MY PLANE ! WELL, THEN WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE.

YOU BOYS WATCH OUT FOR THE PLANE. WHEN WE FIND 'EM, WE'LL SIGNAL BY CIRCLING.

AS LONG AS MARES WILL ALWAYS STICK TO A STALLION, WE'LL STILL HAVE TO RUN THEIR LEGS OFF.

IF THE DON STOPS, THEY'LL STOP TOO, WON'T THEY ? YEAH.

BUT HOW DO YOU FIGURE-- DON'T WORRY. HE'LL BE STOPPED WHEN THE BOYS GET THERE.

COME ON, KIT, WE GOT SOME FLYIN' TO DO!

GET HER WARMED UP, KIT!

TAKE CARE OF KIT'S HORSE, CHAMP.

[Plane Engine Starting]

YOU WANT TO FLY HER, SERGEANT ? OKAY, THANKS, KIT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE TIRE ? YOU'LL SEE.

INSTEAD OF A TIRE, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT A PARACHUTE.

OR EVEN A STEPLADDER.

WE'LL TRY THAT ARROYO UP AHEAD. I DON'T LIKE THAT WORD, "TRY."

SEE ANY HORSES ? NO.

BUT I THINK I RECOGNIZE A COUPLE OF LIZARDS.

I DON'T SEE A THING. ARE YOU SURE YOU SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING ?

GENE, LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT FOR WHAT ?

NEVER MIND. I'll DO THE LOOKING OUT.

YOU JUST FLY THE PLANE.

THERE THEY ARE!

WE'LL GO BACK AND SIGNAL THE BOYS.

[Motor Droning ] HERE THEY COME!

LET'S GO TO WORK, BOYS.

TAKE OVER. I'VE GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT, SLOW 'ER UP.

[Whinnies]

LOOK OUT, KIT!

[Whinnying Fiercely]

WELL, THANKS TO YOU, GENE, MY HORSES CAN RUN IN THE DERBY.

NOW, IF WE COULD ONLY FIND TED. I GOT A HUNCH WE WILL.

SAY, YOU'VE JUST GOT TIME TO GET YOUR HORSES TO THE TRACK.

WHERE'S YOUR TRAILER ? DOWN AT THE BARN. WE CAN USE A CAR.

[ Car Approaching]

THERE THEY ARE!

[ Hoof beats Approaching ]

HELLO, DEBBIE GIRL. IS SHE ALL RIGHT ?

SOUND AS A DOLLAR. I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT DAME QUICKLY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAME ? WHERE IS SHE ?

GENE, SHE'S CRIPPLED.

HELLO, DEBBIE. AH, YOU'RE LOOKIN' GOOD, BABY.

THEY BEEN FEEDIN' YA GOOD ? OH, YEAH. COME ON. COME ON.

HEY I RICK I RICK, COME HERE, I GOT HIM. I GOT HIM. WHAT'S UP ?

TED! HEY, THE NEXT TIME YOU SHOVE OFF, HOW ABOUT LEAVING A FORWARDING ADDRESS ?

I TOLD YA, DIDN'T I ? THEY ALWAYS SHOW UP AROUND A TRACK.

AROUND A STABLE. ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S A CERTAIN FILLY THEY LIKE.

WELL, I JUST WANTED TO LOOK AT HER.

YOU WANT A MOUNT, KID ? WHAT'S UP, RICK ? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?

YOU ARE. ON THE DEBUTANTE.

YOU MEAN, I RIDE DEBBIE ?

OH, LOOK, RICK, I-- I CAN'T DO IT!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU CAN'T ? YOU LISTEN TO ME, TED MALLOY.

I-I'VE STUCK WITH YOU AND RICK HERE CLOSER THAN A FLY STICKS TO FLYPAPER.

AND YOU KNOW WHY ? BECAUSE RICK HERE CAN TRAIN 'EM, AND YOU CAN BOOT 'EM HOME.

I MAY BE A SILLY CHARACTER, BUT I JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE TO STAND AT THAT RAIL...

AND WATCH THE WINNIN' TEAM COME IN.

AW, LOOK, DON'T KID ME, DROOPY. CAL YOUNG WAS RIGHT.

I'M THROUGH, AND YOU KNOW IT. WE DON'T THINK SO. NONE OF US DO.

[Rick] EXCEPT CAL YOUNG. HE DOESN'T THINK SO, EITHER.

HE TRIED TO GET RID OF YOU THE FIRST TIME BY THAT ACCIDENT, BY HITTING YOU IN THE LEGS.

AND NOW, HE'S TRYING TO HIT YOU HERE.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS, TED. ARE YOU GOING TO LISTEN TO CAL YOUNG, OR TO US ?

THIS FILLY HERE IS THE ONLY CHANCE KIT BARLOW'S GOT IN THE RACE.

AND SHE'S GIVING THAT CHANCE TO YOU. WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU WANT ?

THAT OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH, I GUESS.

,60,6O [Marching Band]

ANY ORDERS, MISS KIT ? ANY ADVICE, RICK ?

NO, TED KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE THE FILLY. SO DO I.

THE DEBUTANTE'S OVERRATED AT 40-TO-1 TRACK ODDS.

AND THE ODDS AGAINST YOUR MAKING GOOD THAT CHECK ARE EVEN LONGER.

WANT TO MAKE A FRIENDLY SETTLEMENT ?

ALONG WHAT LINES ? TAKE ME IN AS A FULL PARTNER,

50-50, AND I'll TEAR UP THAT CHECK.

UH-UH. I BOUGHT YOU OUT.

IF DEBBIE'S OUT OF THE MONEY, YOUR CHECK'LL BOUNCE.

THAT'S A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. YOU'D BETTER CONSIDER MY PROPOSITION.

YOU'D BETTER DO A LITTLE THINKIN' YOURSELF, YOUNG.

THEY DON'T HAND OUT TRAFFIC TICKETS FOR EXTORTION.

COME ON, GET MOVIN'. YEAH, AND DON'T TRIP ANY HORSES THIS TIME.

THAT'S TELLIN' EM, HUH, DEB ?

[Bell Ringing]

,ao,eo [Bugle Playing 1 TAKE A soon l-lol_l:> on THAT HORSE RIGHT AWAY.
