01:26 Pedro! Pedro!

01:28 What happened?

01:30 My back. She hurt so.

01:33 Where's Sally?

01:35 [Music]

01:39 Tom, the locker and the tool shed.

01:42 [Music]

02:03 Help!

02:05 [Music]

02:08 Help!

02:10 [Music]

02:18 Help!

02:20 [Music]

02:25 Sally!

02:27 We've got to get out of here. The whole building's on fire.

02:46 [Music]

02:49 Help!

02:51 [Music]

03:00 Here, get into this.

03:02 [Music]

03:13 Are you game, Sally?

03:15 [Music]

03:25 [Music]

03:35 [Music]

03:58 Feeling better, Pedro?

04:00 Much better, thank you.

04:01 Senorita Sally?

04:02 I'm all right, Pedro.

04:03 Take Pedro into town. I'll stay here and help fight the fire.

04:06 [Music]

04:10 [Footsteps]

04:19 And because of Ranger King's prompt action,

04:21 the fire was confined to a small portion of the field, doing comparatively little damage.

04:25 How do we know other attempts won't be made?

04:28 We've been working on that, Barton.

04:29 The oil companies will pool all their explosives, and the Rangers will take complete charge of the supply.

04:34 If it's agreeable to you, Mr. Crawford, none will be released without your signature.

04:39 I'll be glad to take that responsibility.

04:42 And now I'm going to tell you, gentlemen, something in strict confidence.

04:46 This telegram is from the Council of Defense in Washington,

04:49 notifying me that Professor Nelson is arriving on the Limited this afternoon.

04:53 And who is Professor Nelson?

04:55 He's a scientist who's developing a formula for aviation fuel which will revolutionize long-distance flying.

05:01 Sounds interesting.

05:02 His process will enable bombers to fly twice the distance with half the usual gasoline load.

05:08 Any man that can accomplish that should be guarded while traveling.

05:11 He is carefully guarded.

05:13 What worries me is making sure nothing happens after he gets here.

05:16 Well, gentlemen, I think that's all.

05:19 Miss Prane?

05:20 No, Tom.

05:21 Do you mind waiting here a few minutes?

05:22 Of course not.

05:24 How about you and me figuring out some means of protecting him?

05:30 I'll be glad to.

05:32 You've got to move fast, Lynch.

05:45 What's up?

05:46 There's a man arriving this afternoon on the Limited.

05:48 He's an important man, and I don't want him to arrive.

05:51 We'll take care of him on the train.

05:53 He's too heavily guarded for that, and we won't have a chance once he gets here.

05:56 Well, how will we handle it?

05:57 The Limited reaches mile-long tunnel this afternoon at 4.43.

06:01 Will he have any soup?

06:03 I've thought of that.

06:05 Get a hold of Shorty and Nick.

06:08 Have them go to the warehouse.

06:11 We're from the El Monte outfit.

06:20 Got an order here for some explosives.

06:23 I'll bring it out to you.

06:35 A couple of men from the El Monte outfit are waiting.

06:42 Four cans.

06:46 That's a heap of explosives.

06:47 Crawford's signature is on the order.

06:50 It must be okay.

06:52 Here they are.

07:05 We'd better handle this stuff carefully.

07:10 We sure will.

07:13 [Hooves clopping]

07:15 Hiya, Pedro.

07:39 Buenos dias, muchacho.

07:41 Everything quiet in town?

07:43 Oh, pretty quiet.

07:45 Look.

07:47 This is the signature of Senor Crawford.

07:49 No explosives are to be given anyone without it.

07:52 Well, you're a little late, but I guess there's no harm done.

07:55 What do you mean?

07:56 The El Monte people just picked up four cans.

07:58 Here's their order signed by Crawford.

08:00 But how could that be?

08:03 Hey, look.

08:05 This one looks what you call a little fishy.

08:10 Yeah.

08:12 King is with Crawford right now.

08:14 We'd better phone him right away.

08:16 Just in case they get suspicious.

08:24 Operator.

08:28 Hey, the line is dead.

08:31 Which way did these men go?

08:34 East.

08:37 Get for the King right away.

08:39 I'll trail them and mark the way with strips of this.

08:41 Right.

08:43 [Hooves clopping]

09:15 [Hooves clopping]

09:17 [Hooves clopping]

09:34 [Hooves clopping]

09:36 Boys are late.

09:51 You think we ought to get that stuff over to Mile Long Tunnel?

10:03 My orders were to bring it here.

10:05 There won't be much time before that limit is due.

10:07 Ah, stop worrying. There's time enough to blow off that train.

10:10 [Hooves clopping]

10:12 Why don't you take a load off your feet? You're making me nervous.

10:38 That Mexican Ural is running away with our explosives.

10:41 Don't shoot. You'll hit that explosive.

10:48 We'll follow him.

10:51 Those shots are coming from the shack.

11:04 Those shots are coming from the shack.

11:06 He's got the explosives.

11:29 We can't take a chance shooting.

11:32 Yeah, I'll stop him.

11:34 [Hooves clopping]

11:36 [Gunshot]

11:41 [Hooves clopping]

11:43 Lucky you came along.

12:09 Take care. We gotta get the tunnel ahead of the limited.

12:12 Get his horse.

12:16 You're King's Mexican pal, ain't you?

12:20 Busquen sabe, senor.

12:23 You'll talk plainer than that later on.

12:26 [Hooves clopping]

12:28 [Hooves clopping]

12:30 [Hooves clopping]

12:32 [Hooves clopping]

12:34 [Gunshot]

12:55 [Hooves clopping]

12:57 Get your hands up, ranger, and drop that gun.

13:14 We sort of thought you'd show up to join your pal.

13:22 Now get moving.

13:25 [Hooves clopping]

13:27 Now you two wise guys can sit down in here and think this thing over.

13:42 Get over at that table.

13:45 [Gunshots]

13:48 [Hooves clopping]

13:50 [Gunshots]

14:04 [Hooves clopping]

14:16 [Gunshots]

14:18 Where'd they explode it?

14:30 Four of them left with it.

14:32 They're going to blow up the limited train at the mile-long tunnel.

14:34 The person else is on that train.

14:36 Caramba, we must get there quick.

14:38 [Hooves clopping]

14:40 [Train whistle]

14:52 [Train whistle]

15:04 [Train whistle]

15:06 Coming through in five minutes.

15:17 Well, there's the tunnel.

15:21 Here!

15:27 Rangers, there they are!

15:29 Keep on working, Kramer. We'll hold them off.

15:34 [Gunshots]

15:42 [Gunshots]

15:54 [Train whistle]

16:00 [Train whistle]

16:02 That's the limited. I'll try to stop it before it gets to the tunnel.

16:06 Cover me.

16:07 Well, I'll keep them busy.

16:09 [Gunshots]

16:11 [Train whistle]
