I'm getting worried, Daniel.

That decoy wagon should have been here by now.

Maybe none of the wagons got through the British lines.

And you think it's true what they're saying, but Philadelphia is completely different.

They're completely surrounded.

I don't know.

If that wagon doesn't get here soon, we're gonna go looking for it.

I don't mind telling you, I'll be sure happy to have somebody take over this outfit.

Well, I'll be long now.

I ain't gonna take over a few miles from here.

You know, Count, I never figured you could pull it off all by yourself.

Simple mattery life.

Now, let's take a look at our prize.

Our British friends will pay a very handsome price to get the hands of this.

Gaze upon a freedom symbol, Eli.

The Americans' precious bell of independence.

And you, boo, Daniel, boo.

What a doer, what a dream come true.

From the two skinned cap, on the top of old, Daniel, the heel of his forehead shoe.

The ripenest, glorious, fightenest man, the front deer ever knew.

Daniel, boo, was a man, just a big man.

Eli fought for an American to make for an American street.

What a boo, what a doer, what a dream come true.

It was me.

Very interesting.

But if only this is true, why didn't Bob become himself?

Well, I got the feeling that he don't trust you too much, Major.

Now, you can't blame a man for being cautious.

This shamrock tavern that he speaks of, that's behind the rubber lines.

He could easily betray me.

You got a price on your head, Major?

Of course not.

Well, then you ain't got no cause to fret, because if Count Boga can't sell you to nobody,

he ain't about to turn you in.

Your friend sounds like a very mercenary man.

Well, I never heard that word before, Major, but if you mean that he likes to get paid

for anything he does, you're right.

There's still the problem of getting through the enemy lines.

Well, now that ain't no hardship, Major.

I done got through yours, and I figure that these here are soldiers.

You got got more training than some of them militia men.

Now, all you got to do is shed that uniform, and we'll ride through like we was doing

this gentleman.

I'll ride through.

You'll stay here as a hostage.

Sergeant, nice to request and civilian clothes.

See that my horse is saddled and put this man under guard.

You ain't a very trusted man yourself, are you, Major?

I come here in all good faith, and now you start treating me like I might be dishonest.

Sergeant, get this blanket out of here.

Mango, this could be the wagon.

If this wagon had carried a 2,000 pound bell, it would have cut deeper tracks than this.

And if they had carried it off, they'd have left plenty of evidence.

The river's not too far away.

They could have driven the wagon into mid-stream, floated a raft behind it, brought the wagon

back here as a decoy.

In that case, they could be miles downstream by now.

I don't think they'd go downstream.

The river flows into the scoocle that goes right by a valley forge.

There'll be plenty of sentinels watching the river.

That only leaves one other way.

And you go upstream.

With all that weight, they couldn't go very far against the current.

Somebody rode his saddle horse up here, right down there.

There's boot tracks all over.

So we're looking for a horseman with cleats in his heels.

There could be a hundred such.

Any boy, just shamrocked cavern is not very far from here.

There'll be some maple-bodied patriots there.

Why don't you go down by the river and see if you can pick up a trail?

Where do we meet?

I may be a while rounding up some men.

Learn what you can and meet me at the tavern.

I'm going to go down by the river.

I'm going to go down by the river and see if I can get a little bit of water.

I'm going to go down by the river and see if I can get a little bit of water.

I'm going to go down by the river and see if I can get a little bit of water.

I'm going to go down by the river and see if I can get a little bit of water.

I'm going to go down by the river and see if I can get a little bit of water.

And don't come back to you learn to change your ways.

It is a tidy establishment.

Any boy runs and I'll stand for no trouble from the likes of you.

Gentlemen, a toast to a rare woman, Annie Boy, who needs no man to defend her.

Surely, if I can hold me own in a Dublin pub married to a bipsqueak,

Saints preserve his poor departed soul.

This place is as peaceful as a cemetery.

But I thank you for the toast. Count darling.

And it will be on your bill.

You're a real gentleman that you are.

And I don't mind telling you if I was out of proper mourning for me, dear departed.

Well, I never would you mind then telling me what's transparent.

It's more important than me romanticizing.

Ah, forgive me, Annie.

But a gentleman has just come in. Do you know him?

He's no local, for sure. And from the way he has his notes in the air,

he's no spin-thrift, neither.

Sir, I am Count Alfonso de Borba.

Tom, I'm sure.

My chance are you, Mr. Hughes, the fair buyer.

Yes, I am Hughes.

Oh, I am delighted.

But, come, we can't discuss business at the bar.

Oh, Annie, two tankers of your best day.

If I am going to get a good price for my pelts, we must see that the buyer is in good spirits.

Ah, but these are prime pelts. Of course the price is high, of course.

Tis the car buyer you are then.

From Virginia.

Oh, is he now?

Quite so. And you will see that we are not disturbed, honey.

Oh, that I will.

Good.

Could I be having a word with you first in private?

Your pardon, Mr. Hughes. I'll just be a moment.

Now, what is it that can't wait?

Just a warning. I know the likes of him.

Tis no Virginia, but English. English is the tower of London and just his nasty.

I'd state my life on it.

Now, Annie, I assure you, I know what I'm doing.

Oh, I know what I'm doing.

Oh, I know what I'm doing.

I know what I'm doing.

Oh, I found so darling. You'd be in a foreigner in a nobleman's boot.

You wouldn't know like me.

But associate with the English.

These trouble times is like food for the devil.

It's no secret.

I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve for you.

That's why I'm so worried.

Thank you, Annie.

Thank you.

But don't count me a foreigner.

I intend to remain in this beautiful country.

As for my bargaining, it will be in my favor.

I am certain of that.

I'm sorry, Major.

Now, as I was saying, Lord Howe's reward is 2000 gold crowns.

Is that correct?

It is.

Now, let's get on with it.

Patience, Major Patience, I haven't finished.

You want more?

I'm sorry, Major.

I'm sorry, Major.

Patience, I haven't finished.

You want more?

Oh.

Much more.

Much more.

A commission in his Majesty's army with the rank of colonel upon the livery of the bell.

This can only be a joke, Boba.

A joke?

Do you laugh when someone offers his services to your king?

His Majesty would not enjoy such laughter.

But a man does not become a British officer by threats and blackmail.

Blackmail?

Now, listen carefully, Major.

I am offering my services to your king and will be worth every cent the commission brings.

But we know nothing about you except that you claim to be a count and have a few ragamuffins at your command.

The bell is in my possession.

That should prove my worth.

As for my men, once they are in radio uniforms, there will be a handsome masonee.

This is not for me to decide.

I won't present your proposition to Lord Howe.

Daniel!

Daniel Boone, oh, Tiz himself it is.

Oh, welcome, Daniel.

Oh, sure, and it's good to see you.

So that's the famous front dears, man.

Why looks all armed?

He knows me.

And I'm in rebel territory.

Well, just sit still and keep you back to him until you have a chance to get out.

You've been traveling long, I see.

You'd be hungry then.

Dick Millard, bring some mutton from the kitchen.

Oh, and a tank or some cornbread.

Excuse me, honey. I'm kind of an alright.

Oh, but you'll have to take time to eat.

Bring us some of that pudding I made today.

Quickly now, step lively.

Mr. Boone's in a hurry.

But, uh, how does he happen to know you?

I thought his home was beyond the mountains.

I always stationed down the front here until a few months ago.

So, I knew you knew him personally.

You were perhaps friends.

Friends?

Except for Boone, I would still be there in full command.

Major General, instead of a major.

Major? You will hear you.

His back is to you now.

You can easily reach the door.

And it must go quickly.

Well, uh...

What about our bargain?

Oh.

Yes.

I will recommend its acceptance to Lord Howe.

Excellent.

On one condition.

What would that be?

That you prove your loyalty with another service to the crown.

Deliver, Daniel Boone to me.

Well...

When you bring the two thousand crowns,

he'll be tied to the clubber of the bell.

Tell me, Daniel.

Let's drug you out to Kentucky into our neck of the woods.

I'm so tall, trackin' Eddie.

I'm gonna need your help.

Oh, just have to do with the war.

Now, I'll give you all the help I can.

Just tell me about it.

That looks great.

Don't tagred veil for you, Eddie?

No.

I never found me innards with that devil's brew.

No, it's a good, clean, livin' for any boy, I say.

I'm a girlish charm.

Tell me about it.

The American bell of independence has been stolen.

Congress arranged to have it secretly carried out of Philadelphia

when the British attack started.

Does that mean Philadelphia's following?

Well, last I heard it didn't look good.

Mingo and I were to meet the driver a few miles from here.

When he didn't show up, we started lookin'.

We found the wagon. It was empty.

But who started?

I don't know.

But I've got a strong feeling that bell is not far from here.

Now, why would anybody go to the trouble to steal a bear?

Lord House boasted he was gonna ring it for every British victory.

You could see what that would do to morale of our own troops.

Now, that is plain mockery.

You just tell me what to do.

Eddie, you know the people on these parts.

I need men who are not afraid of bullet-style me get that bell back.

I need them fast.

Able-bodied men that I can trust.

Man is it.

Well, you can have the pick of the lot.

Good patriots, everyone.

But they won't be much help when it comes to fighting.

Maybe you could get some of the regular cantonettles.

Maybe too late for that now.

Who could we send?

Well, it did me serve in boy.

You got a horse?

No.

But I fancy the count will lend me his.

Hear me at the corner table.

What's he doing here?

He has a band of hardy hunters and trappers at his beck and call.

Would you like to meet him?

I'm just a trapper.

I don't like to meet him.

We still send it.

Don't tell the count while we want to borrow his horse.

I'll tell him.

I understand your word.

He's Daniel.

I'm Hanzo.

I have a friend I want you to meet.

I'll fonzo the worker.

Any friend of Annie is a friend of mine.

Daniel Boo.

Not...

Not THE Daniel Boo.

That he is.

I'm not the...

I am over.

Well, Mr. Boo.

Ever since I came to this country, your feats have been a source of inspiration to me, really.

It's very flattering, Mr. Borber.

That's what I call you, Count Borber.

Oh, I see that Annie has been talking about me.

She said some very nice things.

Would you get to repeat them in my presence?

I sure, and most of them you've heard before.

But I was telling Daniel that you have a hearty bunch of lads somewhere out in the woods.

And right now he's in desperate need of them.

Son.

But what is your preposition?

I'm not sure you'd be interested.

An object of considerable importance to the revolutionary cause has been stolen.

I intend to get it back.

But I am most interested in the revolutionary cause.

I'm about your man.

Loyal companions, everyone.

To me, first of all, my cause is theirs.

Would you be willing to bring the men and put them to some dangerous work?

I love it.

There, Daniel.

Didn't I say he had the grand man in?

But if this is an urgent matter, Mr. Boo.

Why not come with me to my camp?

It will save considerable time.

Will it that?

And Raponso.

I was willing to say that I was a good man.

I was wondering if me serving by dick could borrow your horse to run a little errand.

Are you a foot, Mr. Boo?

I am.

Oh, then I will walk to?

Yes, by all means you can have my horse, honey.

Shall we get started, Mr. Boo?

Shh.

Hey, what's your guess, butcher?

You reckon Count Morbours are real, Count or not?

It don't matter none to me.

Just as long as we get paid for this Liberty Bell.

My camp's in that direction, Mr. Boo and so we'll leave the road here on the head for the woods.

I think we better stay on the road a while long.

But I thought you were in a hurry.

I am.

I told my friend Mango I meet him at the tavern and I'm not there.

I still may meet him on the road.

So you want him with us, huh?

More men to bring her.

All right, then. We'll stay on the road.

But there's been targets on the British for Vayments.

I warn you.

I'm afraid you've missed your friend, Mr. Boo.

Yes, we can't look that way.

Yes, so we better take to the woods and try to find our way to my camp.

Well, 100 yards or so down the road, there's something I'd like to show you.

Oh.

All right.

All right.

All right.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

This is what you wanted to show me?

It's the wagon that was carried in the independence belt.

You look closely at the wagon bed.

You'll see deep scratches that are made where it was dragged out.

So you think the, uh, bow must be near here, huh?

Nope.

It had to be unloaded at the river crossing.

This wagon was a little bit more than a hundred miles away.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

You know I should tell you, too.

Quite like Fr immunizing when I'm Why's he probably moving to school.

You should go to the elevator here.

Okay.

I know.

This wagon was driven here to lead anyone away that might be following the bell.

Huh?

Well, then why are we here?

Now, Count, if you'll just turn around.

Mr. Boong.

Do it.

We can call Clayor.

The pistol, please?

Uh uh uh.

Eh, uh uh.

Anderson?

playing this suddenly hostile behavior.

Count it's those boots you're wearing, they gave you away.

You left your tracks all around this wagon.

In a sense, I'm relieved I was beginning

to think you were a dullard, a great disappointment.

But now you've restored your reputation,

and I have lost my.

I take it to bells at your camp.

It is.

What I can't understand is why you were taking me there.

I'm not that I'd rather not discuss.

What do you intend doing with me?

I don't know for the moment.

We might just wait right here.

Annie's serving boy should come back this way

with the Continental regulars.

So that was the errand.

And on my horse, too.

That's how she wears her heart and her sleeve.

Annie knows nothing about your part in this.

I didn't have the heart to tell her.

But how do you figure she's going to feel when she does find out?

Had I succeeded, it wouldn't matter.

Your according failure.

Suppose you stole the bell to claim Lord House reward.

That should be obvious.

The British will have it eventually when the war ends.

When the war ends, that bell will be in the state

how steeple where it belongs.

Oh, come, boom.

Even you should realize that British victory is inevitable.

How can an untrained rebel defeat the best armies in the world?

Good.

You saved my life.

Father, thank you, me.

I didn't need you to lead me back to your camp.

I let him finish you off.

No, I don't think so, Maude.

Now, now.

Look.

Now is the wound.

Drop your rifle.

Arise your feet slowly.

Such a lot of fortunes of war.

Now, Mr. Mudd.

We shall not proceed to my campus, originally planned.

The boy's bad to hurt, Bora.

He'll die if we leave him here.

He was on his way to bring the regulars against me.

He didn't know that.

He was doing just what he was told.

We've got to get him back to the tavern.

I'm asking you one man to another.

No.

Not the tavern.

We'll take him to my camp.

You can take care of him there.

Just give me a few minutes.

I'll read a stretch.

I don't understand it.

The last thing Daniel said was that he'd wait for me here.

Hey, hey, he couldn't wait when he had a chance to pick up the man he needs.

He hoped to meet you on that road.

But I wasn't on the road.

I took a shortcut through the woods after I located the man who stole the bell.

Who are these fellows Daniel is recruiting?

Count Boobas, men.

Count Boobas.

Oh, a fine gentleman.

And God willing, someday he'll be mine.

But, Andy, he's the leader of the bell thieves.

I heard them talking about him.

No.

I know.

That can't be...

Why, Count Boobas would never be mixed up in a thing like that.

I'm afraid there's no mistake.

But he's the man I have me heart set on, Mingle.

And here.

How well do you know him?

Mingle, I...

I guess the truth is...

I don't know him at all.

Oh, Andy.

Oh, Mingle.

Perhaps I was wrong after all.

If what you say is true, then Count Booba will pay for it.

Dixon is waiting out as someone help from the regulars.

He should be at the lines.

Which route did it take?

I think so.

I think so.

But the biggest, I suppose, back down the road to the river Ford,

and then on to Allentown.

There are British sentinels at the Ford, and I saw them.

You mean he may have gotten through?

I don't know.

I hope so.

But we can't depend on it.

I'm going back to that camp and see what's happened to Daniel.

And I'm going with you.

It was myself who put Daniel in, Count Booba, and I'm going back to the camp

and see what's happened to Daniel.

And I'm going with you.

It was myself who put Daniel in, Count Booba's hands.

And you'll only slow me down.

Besides, for all you know, you may have put Count Booba in Daniel's hands.

But there is one thing you can do.

I'm running low in ammunition.

I have a friend here who's in need of some ammunition.

Well, speak up, men.

Surely one of you has some despair.

Oh, God, Desi.

It's free drinks you'll be having for a month.

And as for the rest of you, I'll be charging you more.

Thank you, I'm in.

Godspeed, Mingo. It's praying for you, I'll be.

Thank you, Annie.

Saints Preservus, it's the Count's horse, Dick didn't get through.

It's easy down for a minute. Looks like a steep hill ahead.

How you feel, Dick?

Can you hear me?

I didn't get through, Mr. Boone.

I didn't get through.

Never mind that boy.

Order me to stop.

I tried to keep going.

I thought I was gonna make it.

Let's take it easy, dear.

It's absurd.

Men risking and giving their lives for a lost cause.

The right cause.

Ah, the only right cause is the one that wins and the British will win.

And I intend to share in the fruits of victory.

Just by Solomon Stolenbel.

Not stolen. A prize of war.

Not when it's taken by men with no loyalties.

Ah, but very soon now because of...

of a second service to the Crown, I shall be rewarded with an officer's commission.

It means ample pay now, and...

When victory is ours, I imagine the King will see that his faithful servants are further rewarded by colonial land grants.

I'll restore the glory of the...

the Borvas, an American soil.

Are you really your count?

Oh, yes, yes. About an impoverished one at the moment.

Orba, you've taken the wrong road to mend your fortunes.

If you're arrested, we can get started.

All right.

How much further?

We'll be there shortly.

Thank you.

If you want to save this man's life, Mr. Pona, I suggest we get him into my headquarters.

Which way?

Follow me.

In here, Mr. Boone.

I'll need some hot water, cloth, whiskey, and a knife.

Butcher, get the gentleman what he wants.

Boone?

Well, he's still breathing.

It's lost a lot of blood.

Boone went in under the arm.

It didn't go too deep.

It's a man worth the money.

Major Hughes.

Keep your rifle on him.

I think I know why you wanted me here.

I'm a part of the bargain, is that it?

Well, you and I are different.

You are dedicated to a lost cause, and I am dedicated to a winning cause called Count the Borvas.

A count I hasten to our who has fallen on bad times.

So now you figure your luck's going to change.

But the colonel in the British Army is in battle with Stark, is it?

And mark my words. This is only the beginning.

Are you all right?

I come from a hardy lot, Count.

But he and no gentleman. He just talks like one.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

He was treated as any hostage would be treated.

Now can we complete our transaction, Bobo?

You have the money.

And your commission count.

Signed and sealed by Lord Howe.

You are a man of your word, Major.

You may be unexpected.

There's a war to be won.

Having born, and their independence, Belle, helps our cause.

They're that important.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

You're not sure.

They're that important.

That is why you are now Colonel de Bauber, and will report directly to Lord Howe.

Regretably, I cannot accept the commission.

You can't go back on your word, Bauber.

Nor can I deliver Daniel Boone.

But I had a report that you left the tavern with him last night.

Oh, that's true, but, oh, he was too clever for me.

Perhaps there is some other service I could perform to win the commission.

None that I know of.

Where is the Belle?

This way.

Did you hear that, Boone?

He's quite a man, ain't he?

Underneath all those fancy ways.

And unpredictable.

That's for certain.

But if the Count likes a man, he ain't no way he can stick a knife in his back.

That's his way of doing things.

And that's why we're with him.

Loyalty's a fine thing.

You know that Belle is a symbol of loyalty?

Wouldn't know about that.

I got my orders.

What would you do if the Major doesn't keep up with his end of the bargain?

What would you do then?

He's keeping it.

I saw those gold pieces.

I know Hughes.

He was stationed in Kentucky for quite a spell.

He wasn't known for keeping his bargains.

You're not going to talk me out of this arrival, Boone.

Have he sold his as he got with him?

Must be, uh...

six at least, probably more.

If he was going to let the Count keep the money.

He sure wasted a lot of soldiers on escort.

And soldiers, that's all.

Must be some reason why they're out there.

There ain't no attention to him, Tate.

Count knows what he's doing.

Give me a hand. Just about to the bullet.

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

There it is.

Looks like he's not a pull through.

Down the rifle, my friend. Put it down.

Dick?

No, he's going to be all right.

What about?

Barbara's showing you's where it is now.

And Tate, you're going to show us where it is, too.

You too, butcher.

So the Count saved your life.

And this boy's...

And you're going to pay him back by doing the amount of his reward.

There's something involved more than money here.

Just how do you think that you and this friend of yours are going to get that bell from Hughes and Borba?

But letting Hughes live up to his reputation.

And maybe, Barbara and yourselves will change your mind and join us.

We're hoping for the impossible.

Hughes will never turn on the Count.

We'll see.

I don't see the bell, Borba.

You're not supposed to.

All right, man, show the major his price.

Lord Howe will be most pleased.

So we'll count the bar, but when you load that monster, then get it out of here.

Get it on the wagon, man.

Go round the room.

The major's going to keep this Barbie.

The next thing is the

That finishes our end of it, Count.

Let's get to splitting up the reward.

Right, you are in life. We burn this.

And the pleasure that comes with it.

Have a pleasant journey, Major.

Who knows? We might be doing business again one of these days.

Nine down at Marburg.

Sergeant.

Hand over that bank of gold now, Barbara.

It could be that I'm no longer equipped for this sort of business.

And you presume to be a colonel in the British Army.

That too was a hoax.

Certainly, Lord Howe had no intention of commissioning a common thief in our army.

I assure you, Major, I will do all in my power to bring about your demise.

You and your motley crew don't make me laugh.

Mr. Horrid Cook.

Bring the suit on.

We'll wait till they pull out, and Barbara and the rest can join us.

Look, some of the money down there belongs to me.

I'm taken out.

Let's get moving, Sergeant.

Fire on them!

Fire on them!

I'll be all right, Count. You concentrate on that, Major.

You lie easy. I'll be back for you.

Fire on them!

Oh, whoa!

Are you all right?

Wiser, but poor.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

I'm not going to be a soldier.

Take care of yourself, Laura.

Come out our way.

Be sure and pass the visit.

That might be sooner than you think.

I will buy a lot of ammunition and uniforms for the cause.

There are lost calls?

Why no, Boone?

Because now I am fighting for it.

And Count de Borba is always on the winning side.

I told you, Daniel, he has the grand manner.

That he has.

Daddy?

Count!
