00:00Take me home, take me home to the land on the Pecos.
00:07Near that stream, let me dream beneath the sky.
00:15This old heart keeps on beating, repeating fond echoes
00:23of the brave and the bold riding high.
00:36Well, that ought to stop them.
00:38Back there they come.
00:41Get your spot.
00:53Get your head back inside.
01:19Get out of there.
01:23All right, throw down a strong box.
01:40Hey!
01:41That ought to blast you wide open for that.
01:44If you know what's good for you, stay right here.
01:54Get on, you critter.
01:56I'm sorry this happened to you folks.
01:58Help me clear this blockade.
02:13Whoa!
02:14Howdy, Judge.
02:15Howdy, Miss Lane.
02:16Bite a bit late, aren't you, Clem?
02:23Sure am, Judge.
02:24Got held up just outside of Soto City.
02:26No, I hope they didn't get anything, Clem.
02:28Well, they didn't get your order, Miss Lane.
02:29Everything's here safe and sound.
02:31Uncle Roy, do you want to look at the mail?
02:40Be careful of that, Clem.
02:41Can't you read?
02:42That says fragile on there.
02:43That must be some of that bric-a-brac you ordered.
02:45Well, I hope so.
02:46Clem?
02:47The fellow that held you up took your gun.
02:49What'd he look like?
02:50He was about medium height, dark, ordinary looking.
02:52What kind of a horse?
02:53Didn't see none.
02:55I was a little scared.
02:56It's too bad he got your gun.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Now I got to buy another one.
03:01You lost my game.
03:02I got just the gun for you.
03:03Show him old Joe's gun there.
03:08Old Joe won't be needing that anymore.
03:11Why not?
03:12He just wasn't quick enough on the draw.
03:14You know, Clem, no matter how quick you are,
03:17there's always some fellas just a little quicker.
03:19Yeah, I guess you're right, Judge.
03:21Nice gun.
03:22How much?
03:23Make you a good price on that.
03:24$15.
03:25Joe's widow can sure use the money, too.
03:27Yeah, well, that's fair enough.
03:29I can only give you six now.
03:31Make up the difference or I'm going to run back.
03:33Yeah, it's all right.
03:34Need any lead?
03:35No, I've got plenty of that.
03:36You know, that holdup sure rattled my memory.
03:38Clem forgot to tell you they broke into that
03:40sheriff's office over in Sodor yesterday.
03:42And King's boarding place was held up night before last.
03:44You suppose that could be the same fella that held you up?
03:47I don't know, Judge.
03:48Nobody's seen it happen.
03:51Crime in the Antley.
03:52I almost forgot.
04:08They talk a little medicine show, music, magic, songs.
04:11Come one, come all.
04:13Well, I hope it's better than the last show we had here.
04:15Yeah, I hope they put something in that medicine besides
04:17colored water this time, too.
04:19Well, it's a mighty fine show.
04:20I saw it yesterday in Sodor City.
04:22I'll be in Del Rio today and here in Langtree tomorrow.
04:24Yeah, well, I guess it's as good a excuse as any for folks
04:26to have a little get together.
04:28I suppose he wants me to take this thing up.
04:30Yeah, Dr. Little said he wants you to pick out a spot
04:32for the show, too.
04:33Said he'd need some planks, some sawhorses.
04:35Said he'd pay you for all your trouble.
04:37Yeah, well, he better pay me.
04:38Every time a medicine show comes to town,
04:40he likes my stuff, doesn't he, Liddy?
04:42Well, guess we better be moving along, folks.
04:44Got a lot of lost time to make up.
04:45Bye.
04:46Bye, Clem.
05:01Hey, that's a mighty pretty poster.
05:03We'll have to tack that up somewhere.
05:05It'd be a good job for Jeff.
05:06Where is he?
05:07He and Steve were over at Del Rio.
05:10Oh.
05:11Oh.
05:12Oh.
05:13Oh.
05:14Oh.
05:15Oh.
05:16Oh.
05:17Oh.
05:18Oh.
05:19Oh.
05:20Oh.
05:21Oh.
05:22Oh.
05:23Oh.
05:24Oh.
05:25Oh.
05:26Oh.
05:27Oh.
05:28Oh.
05:29Oh.
05:30Oh.
05:31Oh.
05:32Oh.
05:33Oh.
05:34Oh.
05:35Oh.
05:36Oh.
05:37Oh.
05:38Oh.
05:39Oh.
05:40Oh, what good can come from in the end?
05:41Oh, it's a line.
05:42Oh, why, oh, it's a line.
05:43Oh, oh.
05:44Oh, what good can come from anything.
05:45Oh, oh.
05:46Oh, but it's a line.
05:47Oh, oh.
05:48It's a line, it's a line, it's a line.
05:49Oh, oh, it's a line, it's a line.
05:50Oh, oh.
05:51It's a line, badly made, and we'll have a long dividing.
05:52It's a line.
05:53Ah, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
05:54Thank you very much.
05:55A wina, a wana, a wahoo.
05:56Ladies and gentlemen, I was talking to you
05:57just then with my mother's tongue.
05:58support health and prosperity for the rest of your life.
06:02Now folks, I don't claim that Dr. Malone's home remedy
06:06can cure everything, but I do say that if you suffer
06:10from sciatica, lumbago, weakened and swollen joints,
06:13if you got disorder of the kidneys,
06:15if you got stomach trouble or chest trouble,
06:18if you suffer from impediment of the speech,
06:20then my friends, I can cure you.
06:23Now folks, I'm gonna have my agents
06:26pass through you with some of these bottles.
06:29Thank you very much.
06:30The price is a dollar a bottle.
06:32I'll take a bottle, ma'am.
06:33Oh, thank you, sir.
06:38What do you want with that stuff?
06:40Well, I've been having a little stomach trouble lately, Jeff.
06:42Stomach?
06:43Sounds more like heart trouble to me.
06:46She's sure pretty, isn't she?
06:48So a girl finally caught your fancy.
06:50Well, it's about time.
06:57Well, if you have as many kettles as you say you have,
07:00and they're all prime stock,
07:01I'll get some money and meet you at the hotel
07:02in a few minutes.
07:03Then we'll take a ride out and look them over.
07:05That's fine for me.
07:14Come on!
07:15Come on!
07:16Come on!
07:17Come on!
07:18Come on!
07:19Come on!
07:19Come on!
07:20Come on!
07:21Come on!
07:22Come on!
07:23Come on!
07:24Come on!
07:25Come on!
07:25Come on!
07:32The bank's been robbed!
07:38The bank's been robbed!
07:39The bank's been robbed!
07:40He ran behind that building!
07:56Well, where you two homers been?
07:58El Rio?
07:59Yeah, somebody broke into the bank over there.
08:01Didn't get anything, but we were trying to round him up.
08:04Claims that somebody held up a stagecoach.
08:06Looks like we got a full-grown crime wave on our hands.
08:09Say, maybe one of you better backtrack
08:11and escort that medicine show into town.
08:13There goes your chance, Steve.
08:15Yeah, that sounds like good medicine to me.
08:17You don't mean the medicine.
08:18You mean the gal.
08:20What's his?
08:21I think Steve's taking a shine to the doc's daughter.
08:24You don't say.
08:26Well, they always say,
08:27the older they are, the harder they fall.
08:31Talk to you later.
08:35Todd, look, I'm just trying to keep out of trouble,
08:37that's all.
08:38You've gone bad, boy.
08:40Real bad.
08:41All right, all right.
08:43Nag, nag, nag, that's all I hear.
08:46That's what drove my brother away.
08:47You and your infernal nagging.
08:49Let's hitch up the team and get out of this town.
08:51I'm sick of it.
08:52You should be.
08:53If they found out what you'd done,
08:55you'd be here for a long time, believe me.
08:58You go get Kathy and we leave.
08:59Yeah.
09:00♪♪♪
09:05♪♪♪
09:10♪♪♪
09:15♪♪♪
09:20♪♪♪
09:27Hello, folks.
09:28Howdy.
09:29Hello.
09:30I saw your show.
09:31Enjoyed your singing, Miss Malone.
09:34I remember seeing you there.
09:35I'm Steve Allison, Texas Ranger.
09:38There's been a lot of holdups in this territory
09:39and Judge Roy Bean sent me out to esky in the Langtree.
09:43That's very nice of Judge Bean.
09:45And of you, Mr. Allison.
09:47Shall we get started?
09:49Here, here.
09:50Here, here.
09:51♪♪♪
09:56Here, here.
09:59♪♪♪
10:04♪♪♪
10:08Howdy, folks.
10:09Howdy.
10:10Welcome to Langtree.
10:11Well, thank you.
10:13Oh, say, you must be Judge Roy Bean.
10:16That's right, that's me.
10:18Well, thank you very much for the escort.
10:21Oh, Judge, this is my daughter, Kathleen.
10:24My son, Todd.
10:25Howdy.
10:26This is my deputy, Jeff Taggart.
10:28Good spot you picked for the show, Judge.
10:30Out of the wind and everything.
10:31Doc, you want to step down and walk over to the store with me?
10:33Got a little business to tend to before the show starts.
10:35Yes, I'd be glad to, sure.
10:39Miss Kathleen, you like to come along, too?
10:41My niece, Letty, will sure be glad to see you.
10:44Oh, I'd like to meet her.
10:45There.
10:58Can I give you a hand, Todd?
10:59No, thanks.
11:00We got everything worked out to sort of a routine.
11:02Well, if you need anything, just holler.
11:03Sure will.
11:04Thanks a lot.
11:10Letty.
11:11This is Doc Malone and his daughter, Kathleen.
11:13This is Letty, my niece.
11:14Nice to meet you.
11:15Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Letty.
11:18Kathleen, would you like to freshen up
11:19while these men talk about business?
11:21Yes, I would.
11:26The mirror's over there, Kathleen.
11:28Thanks.
11:29I got it all figured out, Doc.
11:30It comes to exactly $10.50.
11:32Why, Judge, isn't that a little bit steep?
11:34Well, we've never paid more than $7, $8 at the most
11:37anyplace else.
11:38We got it all right here, black and white.
11:40I see there's $2 for labor, $0.50 for rental
11:45of the sawhorses and the boards, $2 for tanking up the signs,
11:49$5 for the license, $2 for my drone
11:51and extra business work.
11:53All right, Judge.
11:54That sounds fair enough.
11:58Oh, is everything all right, son?
12:00Oh, just fine.
12:01Just fine.
12:02I'm going to need some shells, Judge.
12:04$0.45.
12:06Thanks, Judge.
12:07$0.50.
12:08There you are.
12:11See you.
12:13Here's your license for operating that land trip.
12:15Oh, yeah, thanks.
12:16Where are you headed for next, Doc?
12:18Well, actually, we were headed for California, Judge,
12:20but we stop and play towns as we go along.
12:22It'll be a rough trip from here on to California?
12:24Yeah.
12:25Yeah.
12:26Well, I'd better be getting along, Judge.
12:28I want to get things rolling.
12:29Thanks for everything.
12:30Don't mention it.
12:31Bye.
12:32Bye.
12:33That Doc seemed like a regular feller.
12:36That daughter of his is a real lady, too.
12:39What are you hanging around for?
12:41I can escort her home.
12:43I'll wait.
12:44Must be getting traveling from town to town,
12:46the way you people in show business do.
12:48Well, Pop and Todd like that kind of life,
12:50but I'd rather settle down.
12:51Have a life of my own.
12:52Oh, I'd give anything to go to Dallas or Chicago
12:55or New York or New York City.
12:57I'd give anything.
12:58I'd give anything.
12:59I'd give anything.
13:00I'd give anything.
13:01I'd give anything to go to Dallas or Chicago or St.
13:03Louis and see the plays and concerts
13:05and eat in those fancy restaurants.
13:07Takes a lot of money to travel in that style, Lettie.
13:10I know.
13:11Well, I guess I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life.
13:14Well, I think this is a beautiful country.
13:16So warm and peaceful.
13:18Warm, maybe, but it isn't always so peaceful.
13:21Lettie, tell me about Mr. Allison.
13:23You mean Steve?
13:24Well, he's one of the best rangers
13:26in the state of Texas.
13:28He seems peaceful enough, but he sure
13:30can be tough when it comes to law and order.
13:32Is he married?
13:33Heavens, no.
13:34No girl's been able to latch onto him yet.
13:36He doesn't stay in one place long enough.
13:38Oh.
13:39Boys, I just noticed something here on this map.
13:44Every place this medicine show has played,
13:46there's been a robbery.
13:49Somebody's using this show as a cover-up.
13:51They do their dirty work while the show's on.
13:53The people are all gathered together.
13:56Pardon me, Kathleen.
13:57May I walk you back to your wagon?
13:59Thank you very much.
14:01Bye, Lettie.
14:02Bye.
14:06Yes, sir.
14:07From the pattern of this thing, it looks like Langtree
14:09is to be the next victim.
14:11Well, there wasn't a show going on when the stagecoach
14:13was held up.
14:14Nevertheless, I think you and Steve
14:16should do some patrolling while that show's on.
14:18Steve, you...
14:20Where'd Steve go?
14:21He went out with Dr. Allison.
14:23Where'd Steve go?
14:25He went out with Doc Malone's daughter.
14:27I'm afraid he's got it real bad for that girl.
14:29Children, you know, I think that's the beginning
14:32of the end of a good Texas Ranger.
14:36Todd, I was watching you when you were looking
14:39around that store today.
14:41Now, I'm warning you, if there's any funny business
14:43in this town, I'm going to turn you into Judge Bean.
14:45Now, don't get your dander up, Pa.
14:47I'm not planning nothing.
14:48Well, I wish I could be sure of that.
14:51I have half a mind to tell Judge Bean
14:53the whole story and have it over with once and for all.
14:56You do, and I'll tell him that you and Kathleen
14:58are just as guilty as I am.
15:00Now, you wouldn't do that to Kathleen, would you, Pa?
15:16Thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
15:18Matter of fact, folks, you just listened
15:20to one of the finest guitar players
15:21in the whole wide world.
15:22That man there has appeared before all of the crowned heads,
15:25all of the dead heads, and all of the bald heads in Europe.
15:29Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce you
15:32to the star of our show, my talented daughter,
15:36Miss Kathleen Malone.
15:43I want you to be my baby, baby.
15:47Tell me, darling...
15:49Honey, I just thought of something I intended to do.
15:51You keep an eye open, notice anybody that leaves.
15:54I'll be your cling and vine.
15:57I'll spend every moment close to you.
16:01Close to you, close to you.
16:04I'll spend every moment close to you.
16:08Notice anything?
16:09Not so far.
16:10Where's Steve?
16:11He's out patrolling.
16:14I'll go get my gun and take over.
16:16You go on down and join Lenny.
16:17Right.
16:19I'll spend every moment close to you.
16:24Close to you, close to you.
16:27I'll spend every moment close to you.
16:30Yes, that's just what I'll do.
16:33I want you to be my baby, baby.
16:37Tell me, darling, that you'll be mine.
16:40You will be my baby.
16:46You stay here.
16:49I heard the shot.
16:50What happened, Judge?
16:51Now it's me they're trying to rob.
16:54You go out the rear and I'll go out the front.
17:07Someone's trying to rob me.
17:08Come on.
17:09I didn't hear any horses go by.
17:10He couldn't have gotten too far.
17:14Here, hurry.
17:17He went this way.
17:20Yes, that's just what I'll do.
17:23I want you to be my baby, baby.
17:27Tell me, darling, that you'll be mine.
17:30You will be my baby.
17:33You will be my baby.
17:36Tell me, darling, that you'll be mine.
17:39You will be my baby, baby.
17:42We'll have a love divine.
17:45Come be my baby.
17:47Now don't you say maybe.
17:49And we'll have a love divine.
17:56Never mind.
17:57Go get Dad.
18:01Dad, come here quickly.
18:06What's the matter?
18:07Oh, Todd.
18:09Todd, you're hurt bad.
18:11Bad enough.
18:12I've got a bullet in me.
18:13You've got to get out.
18:14Todd, you're a fool.
18:16You've done it for yourself now.
18:18Everybody knows that you're in town.
18:19They'll be looking for you.
18:20They don't know I did it.
18:21Bet they will if they see you wounded.
18:24That'll be taken care of.
18:25Just get this bullet out of me.
18:27Daddy, Todd, what happened?
18:29I tried to steal some money and got shot.
18:31That's what happened.
18:32Get this bullet out of me.
18:33Get my bag, Kathy.
18:34And then you'll have to help me with this too.
18:36Thanks.
18:37Did you find the thief?
18:38No, not yet.
18:39He didn't leave town, I'm sure of that.
18:41I've looked every place, even the chicken coops.
18:43I just don't see how.
18:45What's the matter, Uncle Rod?
18:47Hey, Todd Malone wasn't there, was he?
18:49You think he could have something to do with it?
18:51Now wait a minute, Jeff.
18:52That's a hard thing to say.
18:53I'm not talking about Doc and the girl.
18:55But what about Todd?
18:57Todd was over at the show.
18:59Something funny going on here.
19:01Every time there's been a robbery,
19:03this medicine show has been close by.
19:05Uncle Rod, those people wouldn't rob a flea.
19:07They're too nice.
19:16Howdy, Judge.
19:17Can I get some supplies?
19:18What kind of supplies can I get you?
19:20Oh, a couple yards of muslin and some turpentine.
19:22Turpentine?
19:24Yeah, one of the horses got a burr in his throat.
19:26Well, that ought to take care of it.
19:29Here's turpentine.
19:30Oh, thank you.
19:31The muslin's right over here.
19:36You've got this little piece left.
19:37That be enough?
19:38Oh, that ought to be enough.
19:40How much?
19:42Turpentine will be 15 cents.
19:43The muslin, 10 cents.
19:48What?
19:49Oh, uh, I hope you catch that thief that tried to rob you.
19:53How long?
19:54Five.
19:56Well, I guess that proves Todd Malone didn't have anything
19:58to do with the robbery, doesn't it?
20:00Maybe and maybe not.
20:01When he ordered 45s, he wore his gun on the right side.
20:04Now he's wearing it on the left side.
20:10He's up to something.
20:11Come on.
20:17What are you up to?
20:18Judge, you two stay here.
20:19You come with me, Jeff.
20:20You folks leaving town?
20:23Uh, yeah, Judge.
20:24We got a long way to go.
20:26You're leaving kind of sudden, aren't you?
20:28Miss Kathleen, uh, Lettie and Steve are
20:31going to be mighty disappointed you didn't tell them goodbye.
20:33Oh, I'm sorry.
20:34I should have thought about that.
20:36I'll tell them goodbye right now.
20:42Well, I guess that proves Todd Malone didn't have anything
20:45to do with the robbery, doesn't it?
20:47Doc, I'd like to lay in a little supply
20:50of that medicine of yours.
20:51Well, uh, Judge, how many cases do you think you'd need,
20:54brother?
20:55Well, let's see.
20:56There'd be a little run on it now the show's been in town.
20:58Say, about 30 bottles?
20:5930 bottles, brother?
21:00I got 30 bottles right here in the wagon.
21:06I've come to say goodbye to both of you.
21:09I'm awfully sorry to see you leave, Kathleen.
21:11So am I, Kathleen.
21:12Well, I hate to leave.
21:15I'll carry them into the store for you, Judge.
21:25You can just leave that on the porch, Doc.
21:26I'll take it in later.
21:27I'll take it now, Judge.
21:28How much do I owe you for that medicine?
21:29Uh, let's see.
21:30You get a discount.
21:31That'll be $15.
21:33After that, I'll make you a sporting proposition.
21:35Since I missed that barman I shot at,
21:37I didn't figure I'd need a little rifle practice.
21:39Well, what do you mean?
21:40Double or nothing.
21:41I'll take it.
21:42No, no.
21:43You can't do that.
21:45That's all I wanted to know.
21:52All right.
21:53Get down off that seat.
21:54Something wrong?
21:55Take this man's gun and put him under arrest, Jeff.
21:58All right.
21:59You in there?
22:00Come out of that wagon.
22:09You hear me?
22:10I said, come out of there.
22:12All right.
22:13All right.
22:14All right.
22:16All right.
22:17All right.
22:18Come on!
22:19Come on!
22:20Come on!
22:21Come on!
22:22Come on!
22:23Come on!
22:24Come on!
22:25Oh, Jeff.
22:26Come on!
22:27I don't know whether you're Will or Todd, but you're both in this together.
22:55You're charged with highway robbery, assault, and burglary, and I'm a-holdin' you without bail until I turn you over to the custody of the Marshal of Soto City.
23:03Lock him up, Jeff.
23:04Let's go, you two.
23:08Well, Judge Kathleen knew absolutely nothing about this.
23:12I had an argument with Will several weeks ago, and he left us.
23:16We must have been taggin' along wherever we went.
23:20You know, I knew that Todd was doing something wrong.
23:24I tried to talk to him like any father would, but, uh...
23:27Doc, it's a sentence of this court that both you and your daughter be allowed to proceed on your journey.
23:36They'd order Steve Allison to escort you to your next stop.
23:40That'd be a real pleasure, Judge.
23:43Bring your show back to Langford anytime you feel like it.
23:45Judge, thanks a million for everything.
23:47Goodbye, dear.
23:48Goodbye.
23:48Bye.
23:54I can hear every steer, the sound of the thundering herd.
24:10It's so real, I can feel the warmth of a friendly word.
24:18So I know I must go to the land of the fake old.
24:25There to stay, there to stay till I die.
