01:29Don't you look familiar, son?
01:30I remember that ridge over there.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Town lies right over there in that big gap.
01:39You know, it was right around here I picked you up 12 years ago.
01:42You was more dead than alive.
01:45I'll never forget that night, Dusty, the flash of guns, shouts of murdering men, and the courage of my dad shielding me and fighting a hopeless fight.
02:00A little with bullets, he fell across me whispering, lay still, Ted boy.
02:07You'll think you're dead.
02:10He didn't know I had a slug through my lungs.
02:12Well, when they rode up, somebody let them match.
02:18And I laid still.
02:20Then I heard somebody say, we got them both.
02:25Then the match died out.
02:26And then somebody laughed.
02:30I'll never forget that laugh, Dusty.
02:32It was the laugh of a crazy man.
02:35Killer.
02:35Well, the next thing I knew, it was morning.
02:43And I was in your arms.
02:45Yep.
02:46And I carried you all the way to Big Bend.
02:49For two years, I didn't know whether you was going to live or die.
02:53You sure pulled through all right.
02:56If we could just find some trace of my kid, Brupple.
02:59Yeah, that's doubtful.
03:01We did learn, however, your dad had a hired man and his wife.
03:05I remember.
03:07The woman did the cooking and took care of Jim.
03:10You see, Dusty, my mother died when Jim was born.
03:15And he's the only relative I have.
03:18If he's alive.
03:19That hired man and his wife disappeared.
03:22And we couldn't find hiding her hair of him.
03:25Finally, there was a fellow moved on to the ranch by the name of, uh...
03:29Let's see, what was his name?
03:33Gentry.
03:33That's it. Gentry.
03:35But he didn't know nothing.
03:37Anyway, it ain't gonna do you no good living this all over again.
03:41We'll be in town tomorrow and we'll start investigating.
03:44Hey, Dusty.
03:53Why isn't...
03:54Why isn't...
04:11Water hole?
04:14I didn't know.
04:16I didn't know.
04:17I didn't know.
04:17I didn't know.

04:27I didn't know.
04:28I didn't know.
04:28I didn't know.
04:29I wonder who he is.
04:52Maybe we better open it.
04:59Hello, Gentry.
05:06This will introduce Gat Gans.
05:08He's just a man for the job you mentioned.
05:11Sorry I can't do it, but I got a couple of Star Packers on my trail.
05:16Gat's plenty tough, as this enclosed poster will prove.
05:20Good luck, Bill.
05:24Gentry.
05:26Gentry.
05:27He's evidently planning to kill him.
05:29Why, that's the fellow that got your dad's ranch.
05:47Certainly it's funny, but you sure do resemble this bozo.
05:51Maybe fate's kind of taken a hand in this deal, Dusty.
05:58Maybe so.
06:00We don't know what this Gentry's up to, but we're going to find out.
06:04What do you mean?
06:04I mean that from now on, I'm Gat Gans, murderer.
06:16Mr. Gentry, my daughter and I have considered your offer for the ranch and have decided not to sell.
06:22We've developed the best spring in the country, and someday hope to make this a fine ranch.
06:31I'll admit it's the water I'm after, Mr. Winters, and I don't blame you for holding onto it.
06:35However, this country is still wild, and rustlers are pretty numerous.
06:39That's why I've sold half the herd, and we're going to sell the other half next week.
06:57Excuse me just a moment, Mr. Gentry.
06:59Go ahead.
06:59Everything check up all right, Mr. Harmony?
07:09Everything's right.
07:10They're on their way.
07:16I think you'll find that's right, Ms. Winters.
07:24That's quite right.
07:25Thank you so much, Mr. Harmony.
07:27Too late for the bank now, Dad.
07:29I'll have to deposit this first thing in the morning.
07:31I've got some two-year-olds I'd like to have you take a look at.
07:34All right.
07:39How do you do, Mr. Gentry?
07:41Well, I'm very happy to see you, Ms. Winters.
07:43Your father told me that you've decided not to sell.
07:46That's right.
07:47We're quite happy here, and it's the kind of a ranch that Dad's always wanted.
07:51So why shouldn't we keep it?
07:53Well, if you're happy here, that's all that matters.
07:59Well, as your neighbor, may I be permitted to call sometime?
08:03Why, of course.
08:04Dad and I will be delighted to have you.
08:06Goodbye.
08:07Goodbye.

08:35Here comes the boss.
08:40Hello, Chief.
08:41Hi, boys.
08:43Well, Winters refuses to sell.
08:45Oh, yeah?
08:46Yeah, but I'm going to force him.
08:48I'll ruin him.
08:50The Winters girl is leaving the ranch in the morning with a large sum of money.
08:53Now, Joe and Hank, I want you to get it.
08:57But remember, no harm has come to her.
09:00I'm going to own that ranch no matter what it costs.
09:05There you are, honey.
09:09All right, Dad, and I'll be right back.
09:14Be careful.
10:05You're heading to mister without a cotter.
10:34Well, it ain't too late yet.
11:04It ain't too late yet.
11:34It ain't too late yet.
11:36You can't get her now.
11:46Why didn't you keep her when you had her?
12:00We never had her, you low-pro fool.
12:04Drop that gun.
12:20Are you going crazy?
12:20Cool down now before I suck you.
12:32Go on and try it, you pink-eyed weasel.

14:39Don't know.
14:40We found her just outside of town.
14:41Her horse must have thrown her.
14:42I don't think it's very serious.
14:43How did this happen?
14:44I don't know.
14:45We found her just outside of town.
14:46Her horse must have thrown her.

30:42Let's go.
30:44Let's go.
30:46Look.
30:48This just came through the window.
30:53Why?
30:53It's our bank book.
30:56The lost money's been deposited.
30:57Don't come out.
31:05Don't strike a light.
31:07They're waiting to shoot you down.
31:09Your life's worth more than your cattle.
31:11Let them take them.
31:12A friend.
31:14They're stealing our cattle.
31:16I can't let them...
31:17Dad, don't you understand?
31:19They're waiting out there for you.
31:21You wouldn't have a chance.
31:22Oh, my god.
31:25Oh, my God.
31:28My God.
31:30Oh, my goodness.
31:33Oh, my God.
31:38Oh, my God.
32:08I saw the flash of a light.
32:24I'm sure they got the note.
32:34I don't think there's anybody home.
32:38Now, that's mighty strange.
32:40Well, I've got the cattle anyway.
32:42Let's go.
32:47They're gone.
32:48And our cattle with them.
32:51Don't worry, Dad.
32:53Thanks to someone, we've got enough in the bank to carry us through.
32:56Go over to Winters and ask him for a job.
33:03He'll tell you about the cattle being stolen.
33:06Tell him you'll help trail them.
33:08I'm sure he'll take you up.
33:10When you get out of town, well, accidents happen.
33:16That's a mighty smart idea, gentry.
33:18You sure know how to work things out.
33:22Well, come on, Dusty.
33:23Let's get this over with.
33:24I don't know.
33:34I don't know.
33:35Well, how are you?
33:58I reckon you're the owner here.
33:59Yes, I am.
34:01Well, could you use a couple of good cowhands?
34:03Well, I could have used last night.
34:05Rustlers run off all my cattle.
34:09Well, they couldn't have gone fur.
34:12Cattle has to eat, you know.
34:14Why don't you trail them?
34:15I've owned the sheriff, but he won't be back till this afternoon.
34:19Well, we'll make you a little proposition.
34:21If we bring your herd back, will you give us a job taking care of it?
34:26I sure will.
34:27Well, that's fair enough.
34:29You better go with us till we sight them.
34:31Then you can come back and get the sheriff.
34:33We may lose your rustlers, but we'll sure get your cattle.
34:37All right, I'll saddle up right away.
34:43Oh, Miss Winters.
34:44Oh, good morning, Mr. Gentry.
34:47Is your dad around?
34:48Why, yes.
34:49I think he's over at the barn.
34:51I'd like to see him.
34:52All right.
35:02Good morning, Gentry.
35:03Good morning, Mr. Winters.
35:04Rustlers ran off my cattle last night, and I've just hired these two boys to help trail them.
35:09But, Dad, that's too dangerous.
35:12I won't let you go.
35:13We'll take care of him, Miss Winters.
35:15When we sight the cattle, he's coming back after the sheriff.
35:19Oh.
35:20Oh, I see.
35:21Don't worry, dear.
35:35I may be late getting back, but I'll be here.
35:40Good luck.
35:41Oh, I do hope they find our cattle.
35:51In case your dad is late getting back, I'd be very happy to keep you company this evening
35:55until his return.
35:57But I'm not afraid, and I wouldn't like to inconvenience you.
36:00Oh, that wouldn't be an inconvenience, Miss Winters.
36:03In fact, it's going to be a real pleasure.
36:05And here's a letter we got from Gans.
36:14Hello, Gentry.
36:15This will introduce Gat Gans.
36:17He's just the man for the job you mentioned.
36:20Sorry I can't do it, but I got a couple of star packers on my trail.
36:24Gat's plenty tough, as the enclosed poster will prove.
36:27Good luck, Phil.
36:30Gentry.
36:31The dirty snake.
36:33I don't know how I could ever repay you, boys.
36:36I hate to think what would have happened if you hadn't taken a hand in this.
36:39Aw, shucks, Mr. Winters.
36:40We're glad to help you.
36:41The question is, what to do next?
36:45I got it.
36:46You go tell Gentry that we dispose of Mr. Winters here.
36:50If he wants proof, take him out and show him Gans.
36:58Go on, get out of here before I shoot the pants off you.
37:03Go on, get out of here.
38:50I'll have it for you at the hideout the first thing in the morning.
38:52Fair enough.
38:53I'll stay at the winner's place tonight.
38:56Got a few things I want to pick up.
38:58All right.
38:58But don't let the girls see you.
39:00I won't let anyone see me.
39:02Okay.
39:02Okay.
39:02Hello, boss. Hi, chief.
39:29Well, I've got some good news for you.
39:32The Witter's Ranch will soon be mine.
39:36Old man Witter's is dead.
39:39Well, that is good news, I'd say.
39:41That's good to me.
39:42That makes everything easy.
39:43I wonder what happened to him.
39:51And now we're going to collect $5,000 reward.
39:54What do you mean?
39:55Yeah.
39:56Kat Gans is at the Witter's Ranch, but he'll be over here in the morning.
39:59And there's a price on his head of $5,000, dead or alive.
40:04Dead men, tell no tales.
40:06That's my job.
40:08I don't care who does the job.
40:10Just so it's done.
40:11Pee-wee, you're going to flag your tail out of here.
40:21They're laying for our friend, and it's up to us to tell him.
40:24Let's go.
40:24Let's go.
40:33I don't know.
41:03Why, Spud, what are you doing over here?
41:17I come to tell you they're going to shoot you as soon as you come to the hideout.
41:21Judge says there's a reward for you, and he's going to get it.
41:24Double-crossed, eh?
41:26Well, you don't have to worry, Spud.
41:28There's no reward out for me, and they're not going to get me.
41:32What's that?
41:33That was Aunt Marthy's.
41:35She gave it to me when she died.
41:38Marthy?
41:39Yeah, she was Butch's wife.
41:42She was the only friend I had until you came.
41:44Marthy?
41:45Butch?
41:46Now I know where I've seen him.
41:47He and his wife worked for my dad.
41:50Say, Spud, did Aunt Martha ever tell you about your father?
41:53She said he was dead and that Butch wasn't my real dad.
41:57She left me a letter and told me not to open it until I was grown up.
42:00Well, where is it?
42:02I brought this with me because Butch said he was going to shoot me, and I ain't never gone back there.
42:07Oh.
42:07Here it is.
42:12I'm going to open this, Spud.
42:14May mean a lot to both of us.
42:16My dear boy, your real name is Jim Hayden.
42:29Your dad and brother were killed by Gentry and his gang when you were a babe.
42:34Don't think hard of me, son.
42:35I've had no hand in this.
42:37Aunt Martha.
42:37Jim.
42:44Jim, do you know what that means?
42:47It means you're my brother.
42:50My own little brother.
42:52Gee, ain't that swell?
43:00You know, boys, in a way, this isn't any great surprise to me.
43:05I've spiked a gentry for a long time.
43:08But I've never been able to get anything on him.
43:11Years ago, right after Hayden was killed,
43:14we suspected him of being the secret leader of a band of rustlers.
43:18But we're never able to prove it.
43:21After reading that letter,
43:23there isn't a doubt in my mind
43:25but that he was guilty of Hayden's death.
43:29We've got enough on Gentry now.
43:31Why should we wait?
43:32Well, give Ted a chance to play his hand, Sheriff.
43:35He'll get word to us when he needs us.
43:37There's Gentry now.
43:43There's Gentry now.
43:43No matter what happens, son,
44:03stay right here.
44:04Miss Winters.
44:16I hardly know how to tell you,
44:18but this poster will speak for itself.
44:20Why, that's the man that went with Dad.
44:30And he's a killer?
44:31And that isn't the worst of it.
44:33Word just came to town that they found your father.
44:36No, don't say it.
44:40Don't cry, Fay.
44:42I want you to know that I'll take care of you.
44:44Why, I've loved you since the first time I saw you.
44:48Please, Mr. Gentry, I...
44:50Don't you understand, Fay?
44:51I'm crazy about you.
44:52I'll give you everything you want.
44:53Please don't talk like that.
44:55Listen, I...
44:56I want you to be my wife.
44:58Oh, take your hands off me!
45:00Take your hands off, Gentry.
45:03You!
45:04What have you done with my father?
45:07Your father's safe, Miss Winters.
45:09Call the sheriff.
45:10I'm holding this man for murder.
45:13Murder?
45:13My name's Hayden.
45:16Ted Hayden.
45:17Son of the man you and your gang murdered 12 years ago.
45:21You left me for dead, too, Gentry.
45:23But I lived.
45:25Lived even up the score.
45:28Why, he's crazy.
45:29That poster proves who he is.
45:31Then call the sheriff, Miss Winters.
45:43You're mighty brave behind a gun, aren't you?
45:59Why?
46:00Hanging her shooting's too good for you, Gentry.
46:06Oh!
46:13Hello, is this the sheriff's office?
46:16This is Miss Winters.
46:17Is my father...
46:18Yes, your father's here.
46:21He's all right.
46:23What's that?
46:26We'll be right over.
46:28It's your daughter, Winters.
46:29We'll have to hurry.
46:43We'll be right over.
47:02Oh!
47:07Oh!
47:08Let's go.
47:38Let's go.
48:08Let's go.
48:38Let's go.
49:08I'll be all right, dear.
49:28Don't you worry.
49:28Hey, Dusty.
49:33Ted said to follow me.
49:35Come on, winners.
49:35I'll be all right, dear.
50:05I'll be all right, dear.
50:35I'll be all right, dear.
51:05You separated me from my brother and took everything out of my life that a kid should have.
51:09And now I ought to give you what you gave my dad.
51:12Well, I'm keeping my hands clean, gentry.
51:15I'm taking you to the law.
51:17All right, boys, let's riddle him with bullets.
51:21Why, it's gentry.
51:27Why, it's gentry.
51:31Why, it's gentry.
51:35I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go.
51:47Drop those ironsmen.
51:48Where's the man called Gantz?
51:51He's in there.
51:53Well, boys, I've been trying to meet up with you for some time.
52:03I reckon you got here just in time, brother.
52:12What are you thinking about, Jim?
52:23You know, Ted and I are going to get a ranch back.
52:26And he said when you marry him, it's going to be twice as big.
52:30Oh, he has it all worked out, has he?
52:33Sure, and you better accept his proposition, because it'll be the only one you'll ever get.
52:38Well.
52:40What's my little brother been telling you?
52:45Well, I was telling her what you said you didn't have the nerve to.
52:52Is my face red?
52:54Well, it oughtn't to be, because they said she'd accept your proposition.
52:59Why, I...
53:00Gosh, now you're both burning up.
53:03I think your brother needs a good lecture.
53:06Lecture?
53:07He needs a good spanking.
53:08I think your brother needs a good lecture.
53:33...
53:35Well, I think your brother needs a good lecture.
53:40God only knows what he's doing for you.
53:41I just say you need a freeentin or what he needs a good lecture.
53:42Of course, I've been saying.
53:42I'm with him now.
53:43What are you doing?
53:45What are you doing?
53:45What are you doing?
