Transcript

00:00The immortal pen of James F. Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement, blazing

00:14action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring and courage

00:21of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, Chinguchkuk, last of the

00:30Mohicans.

00:31Hold it.

00:32Now ease off your packs or I'll blast you both with my long rifle.

00:51Second, we ought to lift their scalps as well as their furs, Mohican.

00:56Not want Seneca's scalps, my white brother.

00:58Turn around.

01:00I said turn around.

01:02Now get, and don't even look back, or the last thing in the world you'll hear is the

01:11bark of the long rifle.

01:25May feel like evil spirit running gauntlet.

01:44If those settlers' eyes were powder and ball, we'd be plumbed full of holes by now.

02:00What's going on around here, Mr. Travis?

02:20You and the other settlers around here act like we got the plague.

02:23It'd be better than having a price on your heads.

02:28The only price we're interested in is getting top shilling for our furs.

02:31I'm not buying any stolen goods.

02:33Well, that's a new one.

02:36Usually the way you hear how much we want for you, you start hollering thief.

02:40Maybe we better go see Hollister over at Chenango.

02:42The only place you're going is to jail.

02:46First time I hear it, it's against law to sell furs.

02:48Tis, when you've been stealing them from the Senecas.

02:52No one's ever accused us of stealing anything before, Mr. Travis.

02:55The first time I heard it, I just didn't believe it.

02:58Why did you do it, Hawkeye?

02:59Didn't you know you and Chingach Coo could be recognized, even with masks on?

03:03What Senecas say we steal furs?

03:05Tell me! I make him speak with straight tongue!

03:07You're fortunate you fell into my hands and not the Senecas.

03:10They'd have put you to the stake.

03:11All right, come on, hand over your weapons.

03:13I've turned you over to the sheriff.

03:18Yeah, I guess you've got us dead to rights, Mr. Travis.

03:20We might as well own up and make a clean breast of it.

03:23Save you settlers the trouble of a trial.

03:26You want to confess first, or shall I?

03:28Maybe best we talk together.

03:31Well, that might be a little confusing.

03:33What do you think, Mr. Travis?

03:34Well, what I've heard so far is enough for me.

03:37If you've anything more to say, jail is the place where you'll be saying it.

03:40Yeah, I calculate you're right.

03:42You better give me your gun, Chingach Coo.

03:51Let's go!

03:54Hawkeye! Furs!

03:55Come on!

04:09We leave furs. Run!

04:11Now all settlers are sure we steal from Senecas.

04:14Yeah, they'd be just as happy if we did.

04:16I'm sure they'd be.

04:17I'm sure they'd be.

04:18I'm sure they'd be.

04:19I'm sure they'd be.

04:20I'm sure they'd be.

04:21I'm sure they'd be.

04:22They'd be just as sure if we let Travis lock us behind bars.

04:26That'd kind of hamper us from finding out how come everyone's so certain we've turned highwaymen.

04:30But there are many braves big like me.

04:33Wear mask, change feathers, look like Mohican.

04:37You're reading my mind, Chingach Coo.

04:39Wouldn't take much of a change of buckskins for somebody to look like me either.

04:43But why Senecas tell such big lie?

04:46That's a good question.

04:48I got a feeling that Chief Wandara might have the answer.

04:51Only trouble is whether he'll tell us before or after he ties us to a stake.

04:55Well, let's head that way and see what we can find out.

05:02Many moons trapped fur.

05:09Stark, they here. Anoki Sea.

05:12You Senecas always have envisions.

05:15What is it this time, the evil spirit of the mountains?

05:18No spirits. Hawkeye, Chingach Coo.

05:21They come to trading post.

05:23They must have been surprised at the kind of welcome they got.

05:26Who got the reward for them?

05:27No reward. They get away.

05:30Maybe it's better that way.

05:33If they was putting a lock up, you and me would have to shut up shop

05:36until we could figure out who else we could dress up like.

05:39Hawkeye, Chingach Coo, they plenty trouble.

05:43They swift like fox, smart like cougar.

05:46They follow track even Seneca no find.

05:48Look, Anoki, when a man finds out the law is after him, he hightails it fast and far.

05:53They must be out of that territory by now.

05:56Anoki follow. They take trail to our village.

06:02Either they're plain crazy,

06:05or else they're mighty sure that Chief Wandara will believe whatever they tell him.

06:17No birds.

06:19Only wind singing trees.

06:21That sounds like a dirge.

06:23We better keep our eyes peeled.

06:29Nervous trigger finger. You're escaping my way.

06:47All right, let's get before you're chattering teeth.

06:50Tell them where we're hiding.

06:56Let's circle around and come at them from the side.

07:17Now it appears like our birds have flown.

07:20Seneca, Marcus and Trax.

07:22Yeah, two braves.

07:24One brave. Other Trax, toes point out.

07:28Yeah, you're right, Chingach Coo, most white men walk with their toes out.

07:32You know, this could be the pair that's given us our new reputation.

07:35Trax go this way.

07:46Chief, you can shoot me with my own rifle if I'm not speaking with a straight tongue.

07:51Chingach Coo and me never robbed any of your braves.

07:54The heart of Wandara knows that Hawkeye never speaks with tongue of serpent.

07:59Hawkeye is friend.

08:01Friendship covers our chief's eyes with clouds of darkness.

08:09The snake crawls into our teepees, yet our chief does not step on it.

08:13White men seek these two for stealing, yet Wandara greets them like brothers.

08:18There's a snake crawling around in these teepees, all right.

08:21A bushwhacking snake whose trail led me and Chingach Coo right to this village.

08:25Best way for a guilty man to cover himself is to plant a false trail.

08:30Those who were robbed don't know the guilty men when they see them.

08:34Anoki.

08:43This the white man of Mohican that took your foes?

08:50Don't be afraid.

08:52They're not wearing masks now, and they're not holding their rifles on you either.

08:58That should satisfy even you, Wandara.

09:01Just a minute.

09:06What makes you so sure?

09:09Change his buckskins, put a mask on him?

09:13Are you sure you could tell the difference?

09:17Put on mask, change feathers.

09:20Seneca brave look like Mohican.

09:22These evil ones will throw dust in your eyes.

09:24They're guilty and they know it.

09:26For many moons, Hawkeye and Chingach Coo have been friends of Seneca's.

09:35The heart of Wandara tells him they do not steal from friends.

09:39Maybe the heart of Wandara grows soft and speaks with false tongue.

09:43Do not speak so to Chief of Seneca.

09:45I mean no disrespect to your father, but I got as much right to my say as you have, Negus.

09:49My father may have been white, but my mother came from this village, the daughter of an honored war chief.

09:55Then honor her blood. Respect your chief.

09:57I honor the Seneca blood in me by demanding that Hawkeye and Chingach Coo be punished.

10:04And my respect for your wisdom will grow when I see it done.

10:08No listen to tongue which drip bitter poison.

10:11Before Stark come to village, Hawkeye friend of Seneca.

10:15When Negus papoose, Hawkeye there.

10:18When Negus make first bow, Hawkeye bring arrow.

10:21Many time Hawkeye help Seneca people when trouble.

10:24Now he's helping himself to your furs.

10:27You speak more, maybe cut throat.

10:29Not mine, theirs.

10:30A brave of less than half my years is closing your ears against my judgment.

10:35Chief, your two friends here must have known when they came that you and your son would protect them even though they're guilty.

10:41Show your wisdom. Turn them over to white man's law.

10:45My father, word of Hawkeye always straight like arrow.

10:49He say he no steal, Negus believe.

10:54How say you, Hawkeye?

10:56If we were guilty, chief, we'd be touched worse than a couple of loons that come parading into this village.

11:01Hawkeye and me come with clean hands to make council, find out who say we steal furs.

11:07More than a dozen of our braves described you.

11:09And all of them know what a Mohican looks like even if he is masked.

11:13A chameleon not only hides his head, but he changes colors all over.

11:17Old friend, Hall Chingagecook and me want as an opportunity of getting at the truth.

11:22And proving that your heart's not being false to you about us.

11:25Wandara, if you don't turn these men over to the sheriff, you might find yourself in trouble with the white man's law.

11:31Wandara is chief here. Wandara want justice, not vengeance.

11:37If in ten sons you do not have proof, Wandara's heart turns from you.

11:56With new snow, tracks of fur robbers harder to follow than Sparrow.

12:02Maybe we are in wrong place.

12:05This looks like the place where they robbed the Senecas.

12:09With their tracks covered, they're going to be mighty tough to run down.

12:13We're going to have to get out of here.

12:15We're going to have to get out of here.

12:17We're going to have to get out of here.

12:19We're going to have to get out of here.

12:21We're going to have to get out of here.

12:23It's going to be mighty tough to run down.

12:25The forest is many miles wide. It takes many sons to hunt down all trails.

12:29You're right, Chingagcook.

12:32Unless the hunted can be scared into being the hunters.

12:44No. Anoki not do.

12:48We can't afford to leave those two running loose in the woods, not even for ten days.

12:54All I want you to do is take Negus on a pleasant little hunting trip.

12:58Leave the rest of the details to me.

13:01Anoki grow up with Negus. We become warrior together.

13:04That more important to you than your share of these?

13:10Maybe, maybe Negus not want go hunting.

13:13If you know what's good for you, you'll make sure he does.

13:18Wandara never believe Hawkeye Chingagcook do this evil thing.

13:22You believe anything I tell him when he's chanting a dirge at the funeral of his only son.

13:48Wandara!

13:55Oh, hear me, mighty Manitou.

13:58I, Wandara, chief of all the Senecas, do bid farewell to Negus, my only son.

14:07Take him by the hand, oh Manitou, and guide his spirit to the happy hunting ground.

14:12And so that his spirit may rest in peace, help Wandara find his murderer and judge him with wisdom.

14:26Manitou's heeded your prayer, chief.

14:28Our braves have captured two murdering dogs to lay at Negus' feet.

14:33Stark, if you're accusing us of killing Negus, you'd better be ready to back up your lion with your life.

14:38Big talk from a couple of killers who got debt to rights.

14:41Wandara, I don't know what Stark's told you, but whatever it is, it's his word against mine.

14:46Not only my word.

14:48He was a mite careless on the holdup trail this time, overlooking an eyewitness.

14:54Right, Enoki?

14:56Best witness to murder is one who pulls trigger himself.

15:00No, no, me not shoot.

15:02Hawkeye and Chingagcook, they shoot.

15:04Stark's lion and you're backing him up.

15:07Negus, Enoki, go out hunt beaver.

15:09Enoki, cross to other side of lake.

15:11Here shot, look.

15:12Negus dead.

15:13Who are you?

15:14Stop.

15:19Blood brother in Mohican, speak with straight tongue.

15:22Don't listen to him, Wandara.

15:24He's only trying to save himself and Hawkeye.

15:27Your son is lying up there with a rifle ball in his back because you listened to these two before.

15:33I just as soon put a shot in my blood brother Chingagcook as I would Negus.

15:36Pretty words, but they ain't gonna save your neck.

15:39Or that murder in Mohicans.

15:42He's mine, Chingagcook.

15:44You're just about my size, Stark.

15:47You're always blowing a fair big horn about what a great shot you are.

15:51Chief, put us together under the eyes of Manitou and find out who bushwhacked your son.

15:56So be it.

15:58No food, no drink for three sons.

16:02And this knife shall burn a curse in the face of he who fails the trial of Manitou.

16:22How you feel, my brother?

16:24Fine.

16:32Mohicans stand like dog by grave of master.

16:35Anokhi laugh.

16:37Sound like yap of yellow curd dog with tail between legs.

16:41Mohicans see who yellow dog when test of Manitou begin.

16:45Anokhi is like vulture.

16:48Should have been here an hour ago. What kept you?

16:50Not easy bring food, drink. Must wait till all rest in tipi.

16:59What's that?

17:00Anokhi.

17:01Anokhi.

17:02Anokhi.

17:03Anokhi.

17:04Anokhi.

17:05Anokhi.

17:06Anokhi.

17:07Anokhi.

17:08Anokhi.

17:09Anokhi.

17:10Anokhi.

17:11Anokhi.

17:12Anokhi.

17:13Anokhi.

17:14Anokhi.

17:15Anokhi.

17:17Mohican not smart like Anokhi.

17:19Just stand outside other tipi like dog.

17:22Do nothing while Hawkeye grow weak.

17:32That woodsman is gonna be mighty surprised when he sees how strong Manitou's kept me.

17:47One week later.

18:04Oh, mighty Manitou, great spirit.

18:08Here one Darragh, chief of all the Seneca.

18:11Oh, mighty Manitou.

18:13Stretch forth your hand and

18:16and give your strength to the one that is true.

18:24He who falls and first touches fire

18:27fails the first test.

18:30It'll take more than Manitou to keep your britches

18:32from scorching, woodsman.

18:35♪♪

18:45Begin the trial of Manitou with the voice of the drum.

18:49♪♪

19:10♪♪

19:36Hawkeye has fallen and touched fire.

19:39He fails the first test.

19:43It is the will of Manitou.

19:44I'd have had him burning if this hadn't broke.

19:48Anyway, it ought to prove who's the liar.

19:50Only one test has been taken.

19:53The trial of Manitou calls for three.

19:55He who loses two loses all.

19:59♪♪

20:10♪♪

20:30♪♪

20:50♪♪

21:04Stark's been getting food and water.

21:07How do you know, my brother?

21:08Well, look at me, Jansky.

21:09My mouth is cracked.

21:11There isn't enough moisture in me to raise a bead of sweat.

21:16He's sweating, and he's strong as an ox.

21:19It's not fair.

21:20Me tell Chief Wandara.

21:22No.

21:23Take more than a little sweat in a man's brow

21:25to convince Wandara.

21:26We'd have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

21:28that he's been watered and fed.

21:33Only one who could help Stark is Enoki.

21:36Maybe me loosen tongue before last trial.

21:40I hope so.

21:41The way I'm feeling, I'll have trouble seeing

21:43the sights of my rifle, let alone the target.

21:46One more test will bring swift justice

21:49to the killer of Nagus.

21:52♪♪♪

22:07Yellow dog, tell who killed Nagus.

22:11Maybe you live.

22:12Maybe you live.

23:57Yeah.

23:59Hawkeye, my heart turned against you.

24:03But Manitou teach me that Hawkeye always

24:05speaks straight like arrow.

24:07My brother Hawkeye always speaks straight like arrow.
