00:00:00The
00:01:00Hey, cut that out.
00:01:22You're driving me crazy.
00:01:30Do you want somebody to see the light?
00:01:37Look, Joe.
00:01:38I'm going to get out of here.
00:01:39You're staying.
00:01:40Shut up and sit down.
00:01:42Wait till the boys get back with some clothes for us to wear.
00:01:45Then we'll all land together.
00:01:47How far do you think you get in that prison outfit?
00:01:49I want to get far.
00:01:50I know.
00:01:51You didn't want to go in the first place.
00:01:52That was my idea.
00:01:53Don't forget, a couple of the guards had a little hard luck when we were crashing out.
00:01:57If you take us back now, it means another ten years added onto our sentence.
00:02:00Maybe a murder rap if one of those fellows died.
00:02:02Ten years don't mean a thing to me, saving a flat 40.
00:02:06But ten years added onto that two months you had left would be kind of discouraging, don't
00:02:10you think?
00:02:11I had nothing to do with shooting those guards.
00:02:12Try and get the warden to believe that.
00:02:14We're all in this together.
00:02:16You're sticking.
00:02:17Look, I know you didn't want to make a break.
00:02:20You just happened to fit in with my plans, that's all.
00:02:22Yeah.
00:02:23The way I happened to fit in the day you hired me to drive the car for you and your pal
00:02:26without telling me you were going to pull a stick up, huh?
00:02:28Yeah, that's right.
00:02:30Funny, isn't it, the way you...
00:02:32Joey wouldn't believe that story about your being a lily white guy out of a job
00:02:35who just happened to be hired for the day?
00:02:37The warden won't believe you're storing him on me, David.
00:02:40You're in.
00:02:41You're just one of Joe Mallon's boys now.
00:02:42The trade fairs was when you could get it.
00:02:43You're wrong, Joe.
00:02:44I'm not going to put in with you.
00:02:45Maybe you're right about them slapping another ten years on me, so I'm not going back.
00:02:46When we get out of here, I'm leaving.
00:02:47That's the boys.
00:02:48Let him in.
00:02:49Hello, boss.
00:02:50Where's the stuff okay?
00:02:51Where's the nifty suit I picked out for you?
00:02:52I got some classy shoes, socks, a nifty shirt, hat, everything in a well-dressed man and
00:02:59wear.
00:03:00Yeah, well, it took you long enough.
00:03:01Well, we'd have been back soon.
00:03:02I had a hard time to get a suit my size.
00:03:03And the janitor didn't want any customers this late at night.
00:03:04We had to tie him up.
00:03:05That took time.
00:03:06This is for you, kid.
00:03:07The way ain't but me.
00:03:08Yeah, it is the stuff that goes well.
00:03:09That's the boys.
00:03:10That's the boys.
00:03:11That's the boys.
00:03:12Let him in.
00:03:13Let him in.
00:03:14Let him in.
00:03:15Let him in.
00:03:16Let him in.
00:03:17Let him in.
00:03:18Let him in.
00:03:19Let him in.
00:03:20Well, we'd have been back soon.
00:03:21I had a hard time to get a suit my size.
00:03:22And the janitor didn't want any customers this late at night.
00:03:25We had to tie him up.
00:03:26That took time.
00:03:27This is for you, kid.
00:03:28The way ain't but me.
00:03:29Yeah, it is the stuff that goes with it.
00:03:30I hope the colors are okay because I couldn't see in the dark.
00:03:33Okay, quit the blabbing now.
00:03:34Jump in those clothes and we'll get out of here.
00:03:35Yeah, only long enough to get out of town.
00:03:37And I'm saying goodbye.
00:03:38We'll talk about that later.
00:03:40Get dressed.
00:03:41You know, I went down there and get a green suit.
00:03:43I had to take the brown.
00:03:44Boy, did we have fun looking at that guy?
00:03:51Attention, car 72 and car 81.
00:03:54Falling car 72 and car 81.
00:03:56The description of these trespasses fits Joe Mallon
00:03:59and five men who escaped from the state penitentiary today.
00:04:02He was cautioned.
00:04:04Mallon and his men are heavily armed.
00:04:06That is all.
00:04:11And I'm saying I don't have to swallow the pit boy.
00:04:15Gee, boss, that suit gives you a lot of class.
00:04:17Yeah, not bad, not bad at school.
00:04:19Hey, you look okay, Bill.
00:04:21Come on, let's get out of here.
00:04:23Gippy, take a look and get the holes clear.

00:16:06Oh, that's all right. Sit down, your food's all ready.
00:16:09Thanks.
00:16:10Coffee will be ready in a minute.
00:16:18You know, this is the very first time that I ever fed a stranger.
00:16:22What's your name?
00:16:24Gray. Still gray.
00:16:27Well, of course, you might have said white or green or brown, but if you like gray, that's good enough for me.
00:16:32The name's Bill Gray.
00:16:34All right, Bill Gray.
00:16:36My name's Linda Hartman.
00:16:39Have you been traveling, Wolf?
00:16:42Yes. Wolf and I have been on the road for five months.
00:16:45Are you just traveling or are you looking for work?
00:16:48I guess I could use a job.
00:16:50What kind of work do you do?
00:16:53Almost anything I can get.
00:16:55Think there's a chance of me finding anything in this town?
00:16:58Oh, I don't know.
00:17:01But my dad said the other day that he'd like to get someone to help him a little bit.
00:17:05He's a doctor.
00:17:07He might be able to use you.
00:17:09What would he want me to do?
00:17:10Oh, a little bit of everything.
00:17:12Gardening and taking care of the place and driving the car for him.
00:17:16Isn't much of a job, but I guess you could handle it.
00:17:20I'd like a job here.
00:17:23Well, he's out on a call right now, but when he comes back we'll talk to him about it.
00:17:27Um, would you like to have your coffee now?
00:17:29Yes.
00:17:37Come on, Wolf.
00:17:38Stop interrupting the conversation.
00:17:40You've had your dinner.
00:17:41Go on, pipe down.
00:17:42Thanks.
00:17:43Would you believe that's the first meal I've had from the table in months?
00:17:57I take that you don't stay in any one place very longer.
00:17:58No, I don't.
00:17:59Well, this job here would be a permanent one.
00:18:00What might you do with your traveling?
00:18:01I could go without travel for a while.
00:18:02Linda?
00:18:03Oh, there's my dad now.
00:18:04Quiet, Wolf.
00:18:05It's all right.
00:18:06Hello, Dad.
00:18:07Oh, hello, Linda.
00:18:08Oh, hello, Linda.
00:18:09Oh, there's my dad now.
00:18:10Quiet, Wolf.
00:18:11It's all right.
00:18:12Hello, Dad.
00:18:13Oh, hello, Linda.
00:18:14Hey, Dad.
00:18:15This is Bill Gray.
00:18:16This is my father, Dr. Hockney.
00:18:17How do you do, Mr. Gray?
00:18:18You better know your doctor.
00:18:19And that's Bill's dog, Wolf.
00:18:20Well, hello, Wolf.
00:18:21Well, hello, Wolf.
00:18:22Hello, Wolf.
00:18:23Hello, Wolf.
00:18:25I don't know your doctor.
00:18:26You better know your doctor.
00:18:27So this job here would be a permanent one.
00:18:28What might you do with your travel?
00:18:29I could go without travel for a while.
00:18:30Linda?
00:18:31Oh, there's my dad now.
00:18:32Quiet, Wolf.
00:18:33Quiet, Wolf.
00:18:34Hello, Wolf.
00:18:35Hello, Linda.
00:18:36Hey, Dad.
00:18:37Hello, Linda.
00:18:38Hi, Dad.
00:18:39Hey, Dad.
00:18:40This is Bill Gray.
00:18:41This is my father, Dr. Hockney.
00:18:43Hey, Dad, do you remember the other day you were saying that you'd like to find someone to help you out around here?
00:18:48Well, yes, I did say something about it.
00:18:50Well, here's the candidate for the job.
00:18:52He could take care of the house, and he knows gardening, and he's a marvelous driver.
00:18:56I think he's just the person you're looking for.
00:18:59Well, I can't afford to pay much, but you'd have a home.
00:19:06How about my dog?
00:19:13Well, Hercules says yes, and he's practically boss around here.
00:19:20Good.
00:19:21He'll start to work right away.
00:19:23Thanks a lot, Miss Hartman.
00:19:24The name's Linda, Bill.
00:19:26Come on, I'll show you your room.
00:19:37Well, good morning, sir.
00:19:38Aren't you the ambitious one, though?
00:19:40Well, top of the morning to you.
00:19:42Aren't you fresh as a daisy?
00:19:44Now I know why they said go west, young man.
00:19:47Mighty pretty speech, mister.
00:19:48Say, can you take time off from your labors and have a little talk with me?
00:19:50If so.
00:19:51Come over here, sir.
00:19:57Now, this has to do with my social life.
00:20:00Are you interested or are you anti-social?
00:20:02I'm sorry.
00:20:03I'm a little slow on the uptick first thing in the morning.
00:20:05You keep on talking, I'll catch.
00:20:06No, seriously.
00:20:07There's going to be a dancing town tonight.
00:20:09And I was wondering if I'd ask you very sweetly if you'd take me.
00:20:13Well, gee, Linda, I don't know what to say.
00:20:16I haven't danced in a long time.
00:20:18Oh, that's all right.
00:20:19I'm no jitterbug.
00:20:20Well, what about clothes?
00:20:21Oh?
00:20:22I imagine they sort of dress up a bit.
00:20:24Oh, I took care of that, too.
00:20:25I sent your one and only suit to the cleaners yesterday.
00:20:27So you haven't got an excuse in the world.
00:20:29You may as well break down and say you'll take me.
00:20:31No, I'm a very stubborn woman.
00:20:34And an irresistible one, too.
00:20:36Okay, it's a date.
00:20:37Oh, thanks, Bill.
00:20:38I'll see that you meet everybody in town.
00:20:40Oh, I don't go to a lot of trouble.
00:20:42I don't think they'd be interested in meeting me.
00:20:44Did anybody ever tell you that you're a very modest male?
00:21:01Yeah, I know.
00:21:04I'm worried, too.
00:21:05I don't want to meet a lot of people.
00:21:14Oh, good morning, Mr. Manning.
00:21:16Good morning, Mr. Grape.
00:21:17Have you been giving us some of your money?
00:21:18Oh, I was just making a deposit to Dr. Harkness' account.
00:21:21Well, great fellow, Doc Harkness.
00:21:23Yes.
00:21:24I wouldn't be surprised if the doctor would be getting himself a son-in-law pretty quick now.
00:21:27Who's the lucky fellow?
00:21:28Oh, Mr. Grape, you're quite a joker.
00:21:30I guess pretty nearly everybody in Tempe knows you danced every dance with Linda last night,
00:21:34and that generally means something.
00:21:37Oh.
00:21:38Oh, yeah.
00:21:39I...
00:21:40I understand what you mean.
00:21:41Good morning.
00:21:42Good morning.
00:21:43Come on, Wolf.
00:21:44We've got places to go.
00:21:50Good morning, Mr. Grape.
00:21:51What can I do for you?
00:21:52Here's an order from Dr. Harkness.
00:21:55Fine.
00:21:56Have it ready for you in a minute.
00:21:58I've seen you at the dance floor tonight with Linda.
00:22:00You two made a handsome couple on the floor together.
00:22:03The man married Linda, he'll get a fine wife.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:22:07You giving it any thought where you and Linda are going to live?
00:22:10No.
00:22:11No, we haven't.
00:22:12I've got a couple of fine building lots up along Houston Street.
00:22:15You get around thinking about it, I'll say you want them cheap.
00:22:18Thanks, I'll remember that.
00:22:19Say, put that in Dr. Harkness' bill, will you?
00:22:21Sure will.
00:22:29Well, Wolf, looks as though they've practically got me a married man.
00:22:36That's the way I feel about it.
00:22:38Oh, Bill, wait a minute.
00:22:40He's just the man I've been looking for.
00:22:42What do you want?
00:22:43I'm sorry, Bill, but I'll have to ask you to step over to my office.
00:22:46Okay.
00:22:53Sit down.
00:23:08How old is your dog?
00:23:10What was that?
00:23:11How old is your dog?
00:23:13Oh, I...
00:23:14I don't know.
00:23:15You see, he was fully grown when I got him about seven months ago.
00:23:18I've got to have his age before I can make out this license.
00:23:23You mean you're making out a dog license?
00:23:24Sure.
00:23:26I'm sorry, Gray, but you can't keep a dog in Tempe without a license.
00:23:30It cost you two dollars.
00:23:32Can't you make a guess at that animal's age?
00:23:35Well, let's settle for three years, huh?
00:23:37That's close enough.
00:23:40There you are, sign right there in the bottom line.
00:23:42Right.
00:23:45If you haven't got the two dollars with you, you can give it to me some other time.
00:23:47Oh, I've got the two dollars, all right.
00:23:49Fine.
00:23:53One, two.
00:23:55There's your receipt.
00:23:57There's your tag.
00:23:58Thanks.
00:24:00You know, there's an office down the hall that sells another kind of a license for two dollars.
00:24:03I bet you'll soon be getting one of those for Lindy, eh?
00:24:05The only trouble with the marriage license is that it's only the beginning.
00:24:10The upkeep starts from then on.
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:13Have you and Linda decided where you're going to live yet?
00:24:15Why, uh, no. No, we haven't.
00:24:17Well, when you get to looking around, I've got a couple of mighty fine lots up on Houston Street.
00:24:20I'll let you have one of them cheap.
00:24:22Well, I appreciate that.
00:24:24Well, I guess I better be going.
00:24:25Well, no hard feelings about the dog license.
00:24:27Oh, no, no indeed.
00:24:28And when you do get that wedding license, remember I can hit you just as tight as any preacher.
00:24:33Thanks, I'll remember that.
00:24:35You know, I've got a feeling that I've met you somewhere before.
00:24:39I had that feeling last night at the dance the first time I saw you.
00:24:42Did you ever live in Phoenix?
00:24:44No, no, this is my first visit here.
00:24:45I'm from up north.
00:24:47Well, I guess I must be mistaken.
00:24:49But your face looks mighty familiar.
00:24:51And I seldom forget a face.
00:24:53Well, don't forget about that lot on Houston Street.
00:24:55Oh, I won't.
00:24:56Come on, Wolf.
00:25:05Come on, Wolf.
00:25:10Come on, Wolf.
00:25:25Thanks, old boy.
00:25:27You make a very good fella.
00:25:35You mind if I come in a minute?
00:25:36No, of course not.
00:25:37Sit down.
00:25:52Bill, what's troubling you?
00:25:55Troubling me?
00:25:56I couldn't help noticing that you were upset at dinner and later on in the kitchen.
00:26:01Is there something I can do to help you?
00:26:04Nobody can help me.
00:26:06Sometimes it helps just to tell somebody what's wrong.
00:26:11Don't you want to tell me?
00:26:14Was it something that happened today?
00:26:17Yes.
00:26:18What was it?
00:26:22Linda.
00:26:26I wonder if you realize that half the yokels in this jerkwater town had me cosily married to you,
00:26:29living in a vine-covered cottage, paying installments, becoming a respected citizen.
00:26:34I don't understand what you mean.
00:26:36Well, I do.
00:26:37Last night we go to a dance together.
00:26:38And what happens?
00:26:40This morning the teller at the bank winks at me and tells me that your father is going to acquire son-in-law.
00:26:44And when I ask him who it is, he gets kittenish and tells Nip.
00:26:48I go to the drugstore and I get the same routine.
00:26:50Dr. Marvin wants to sell me a lot so we can build our love net.
00:26:53Even the chief of police tries to sell me some real estate.
00:26:59You think that's funny?
00:27:01I think it's awfully funny.
00:27:03Well, I don't.
00:27:05I'm not the kind to settle down with a place like this.
00:27:07I have no intentions of getting married and becoming a leading citizen of Tempe, Arizona or any other village.
00:27:13Small towns and the people in them get on my nerves.
00:27:16I'm sorry.
00:27:20That's the way I feel about it.
00:27:22Is that all that's troubling you?
00:27:25Wasn't that enough?
00:27:27You have nothing to worry about.
00:27:29Nothing to worry about?
00:27:33Did you ever propose to me?
00:27:38No.
00:27:40Then what makes you think I'd marry you?
00:27:46Well, you want to get started, huh?
00:28:02No, I don't blame you.
00:28:04You practically told us to pack up and get out.
00:28:07Well, I don't know.
00:28:10It might not be smart to leave right now.
00:28:12You know, we've been pretty safe here.
00:28:14Yeah, we have.
00:28:16Now that we know how she feels about us, maybe we'd better stay.
00:28:20Huh.
00:28:22I thought she was falling for me.
00:28:27Oh.
00:28:28Well, you're bored, huh?
00:28:30Heh.
00:28:31All right.
00:28:32Let's unpack again.
00:28:33Oh, boy.
00:28:38Look at yourself there, young man.
00:28:39Go ahead and take this lemonade.
00:28:40Get it!
00:28:42Get it!
00:28:44Over here!
00:28:45Come on, boys.
00:28:46Come on, boys.
00:28:47Come on, boys.
00:28:48Come on, boys.
00:28:49Come on, boys.
00:28:50Come on, boys.
00:28:52Come on, boys.
00:28:54Come on, boys.
00:28:55You know, Bill plays a pretty good game of ball.
00:28:58Help!
00:29:00Help!
00:29:02Help!
00:29:04Help!
00:29:05Help!
00:29:06Help!
00:29:07Help!
00:29:08Help!
00:29:09Help!
00:29:10Help!
00:29:11Help!
00:29:12Help!
00:29:13Help!
00:29:14Help!
00:29:15Help!
00:29:16Help!
00:29:17Help!
00:29:18Help!
00:29:19Help!
00:29:20Help!
00:29:21Help!
00:29:22Help!
00:29:23Help!
00:29:24Help!
00:29:25Help!
00:29:26Help!
00:29:27Help!
00:29:28Help!
00:29:29Help!
00:29:30Help!
00:29:31Help!
00:29:32We ought to have a pull motor.
00:29:39There isn't time for that.
00:30:02She's breathing.
00:30:20Bill, why did you leave?
00:30:23Oh, I wanted to get out before somebody started yelling hero.
00:30:25Oh, but it was wonderful the way you...
00:30:27Nothing, I've done it a dozen of times.
00:30:29You have?
00:30:30Where?
00:30:31Forget it.
00:30:32Bill, are you a doctor?
00:30:34I said forget it.
00:30:36Why does everybody in this town ask me questions?
00:30:38Perhaps because they like you.
00:30:39Perhaps because they want to be your friends.
00:30:41I don't want any friends.
00:30:42Oh, yes, you do.
00:30:43Everybody wants friends.
00:30:44Everybody wants companionship.
00:30:46That's why you picked up wolves somewhere in your travels,
00:30:48because you didn't want to be alone.
00:30:50Oh, Bill, why don't you tear down that wall you built up around yourself
00:30:54and let people in?
00:30:56Why won't you let me in?
00:30:59Why should I?
00:30:59Don't you know?
00:31:05What do you mean?
00:31:06Do I have to come right out and tell you I love you, stranger?
00:31:09Oh, my God.
00:31:10I won't ask you any more questions.
00:31:20You just tell me whenever you're ready to,
00:31:22but whatever it is, it won't make any difference.
00:31:25I want you to know that.
00:31:27Thanks, darling.
00:31:29Maybe someday things will work out so that...
00:31:30so that I can tell you.
00:31:32In the meantime, you'd better put on some dry clothes.
00:31:34Look at you.
00:31:35And look at you, your shirt tail's hanging up.
00:31:36Come on.
00:31:41Oh, good morning, Marshal Bates.
00:31:43Good morning, Bill.
00:31:44Come on into the office.
00:31:44It's been a while.
00:31:45I was just reading about you and the paper.
00:31:47Well, thanks a lot, but I'm just on my way down the hall
00:31:49where they sell those other licenses.
00:31:51You mean to say you're going to buy a wedding license for you and Linda?
00:31:53That's right.
00:31:54Maybe in a little while, I'll talk to you about that lot on Houston Street.
00:31:57Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that, son.
00:32:00Even if you don't buy the lot, Linda's a mighty fine girl.
00:32:03You're an all right fellow yourself.
00:32:06I mean, I wish I could get rid of the feeling that we've met somewhere before.
00:32:09I was just looking at your picture in the paper here,
00:32:11and I said to myself,
00:32:12Dan Tate, you know Bill Gray from somewhere.
00:32:15Mind if I look at the paper?
00:32:16Help yourself.
00:32:17I made a good picture of you, Bill.
00:32:28Not bad.
00:32:29Well, I'll be on my way.
00:32:31Go ahead.
00:32:31Man never ought to stop when he's on his way to get a wedding license.
00:32:34He might start thinking and change his mind.
00:32:36Uh, not me.
00:32:38Go on, Michael.
00:32:38Go on, Bill.
00:32:47Go on, Bill.
00:33:17Now, don't tell me you're going to give me some advice
00:33:28every man should know before he gets married.
00:33:30Well, not exactly.
00:33:32Come on in.
00:33:33I want to talk to you.
00:33:38Sit down.
00:33:38Don't tell me that Wolf's license has run out again.
00:33:42Well, hardly.
00:33:42Bill, I just stumbled across the reason
00:33:48I had a feeling that I'd met you before.
00:33:57That's you, isn't it, Bill?
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:01That's me.
00:34:02I certainly didn't figure you for a fellow
00:34:04who would shoot a man.
00:34:05But I didn't do any shooting.
00:34:07Joe Mallon told the warden you did.
00:34:08In the police circuit,
00:34:09you shot two guards making a break with it.
00:34:12But Joe Mallon lied to save his own skin.
00:34:14Well, I didn't even have a gun.
00:34:16Mallon shot both of those guards himself.
00:34:18Maybe so.
00:34:19But that doesn't alter the fact that you're wanted.
00:34:21I hate to do this, Bill,
00:34:23but I'll have to lock you up.
00:34:25Look, Marshal.
00:34:26I know you have no choice in the matter.
00:34:30And I'm not fool enough to give you an argument.
00:34:33But there is one favor I'd like to ask you.
00:34:36I'd like to tell Linda about this first.
00:34:38Because I don't want her to hear it secondhand.
00:34:41I saw that circular the first time I came into this room.
00:34:44But I didn't run away.
00:34:46I could have, but I didn't.
00:34:48Because of Linda.
00:34:49And I won't run away now.
00:34:51Let me tell her first.
00:34:52I'm going to trust you, Bill.
00:34:58Any man who did what you did yesterday deserves a break.
00:35:02So consider yourself free until 10 o'clock in the morning.
00:35:05I'll expect you then.
00:35:08Shake on it.
00:35:09Thanks, Marshal.
00:35:10I'll be here then.
00:35:11You can depend on that.
00:35:12I believe you.
00:35:14Besides, you wouldn't have a chance in this desert country
00:35:16if you did decide to make a run for it.
00:35:18I'll expect you in the morning at 10.
00:35:20Right.
00:35:22I was sent up for two years.
00:35:32You were in prison?
00:35:34Yes.
00:35:35I didn't mind it too much, Linda.
00:35:37Because I was assigned to the prison hospital.
00:35:40I learned more things there than I could have learned in any other hospital.
00:35:44I understand.
00:35:45Then when I had only two months left to serve,
00:35:50Mallon and his gang stayed at the break through the prison hospital.
00:35:54They forced me to go with them.
00:35:56I didn't want to go.
00:35:58In just two months, I would have been free.
00:36:01Some guards were shot during the break.
00:36:03That would have meant more years in prison if I was caught.
00:36:07Mallon and the others were caught.
00:36:08I got away.
00:36:09I couldn't go back.
00:36:11Face another prison term.
00:36:13You understand how I felt?
00:36:16Now you've got to face it, Bill.
00:36:18I'm not so sure of that.
00:36:19What about your promise to Dan Tate?
00:36:21Is a promise worth another prison term?
00:36:23You've got to face it, Bill.
00:36:25Don't you see?
00:36:27Dad will help you when he hears your story.
00:36:29We'll get a lawyer.
00:36:31Other people in temporary will help you, too.
00:36:33They like you when you're free.
00:36:36And then when you're free.
00:36:37What if I don't go for it?
00:36:41Always.
00:37:00Hello, kid.
00:37:06Hello, Marty.
00:37:06What are you doing here?
00:37:08Joe Mallon and the boys are in there doing a little banking business.
00:37:14Listen, you...
00:37:15Wait a minute, fellas.
00:37:16Listen, you're a bunch of fat.
00:37:31Joe!
00:37:32Marty!
00:37:33Get him!
00:37:33What's happening?
00:37:34Do you know them?
00:37:40Sure, I do.
00:37:41How did you happen to know their names?
00:37:43Why, I...
00:37:44They killed Ed Manning.
00:37:48Yeah, and your friends killed him.
00:37:51What do you mean, friends?
00:37:52I heard you call them by name.
00:37:54I saw you talking to one of them.
00:37:55It ought to be pretty plain to you, Dan, if this man is one of that gang of murderers.
00:37:58Oh, you're crazy.
00:37:59I tell you, Dan, this man planned the whole stick-up.
00:38:02After all, he's only been in town six weeks.
00:38:05He came here in advance to size things up for his pals.
00:38:08Sounds rigolable to me.
00:38:10What do you tell him he's wrong?
00:38:11I'm not so sure they are wrong, Bill.
00:38:13I had an appointment to do at 10 o'clock.
00:38:15How do you happen to be here?
00:38:17Looks like a murder charge on top of all the other things they want you for.
00:38:20Come along.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:23That's Bill!
00:38:25Get out of the road here!
00:38:26Get out of the...
00:38:50We're on the road again, see?
00:39:08Only this time we're in a tighter spot than ever.
00:39:11Every peace officer in Arizona will be on the lookout for this car.
00:39:15Well, let's get going.
00:39:20Let's get going.
00:39:50This is as far as we go now.
00:40:14You want to do me one more favor?
00:40:18See if you can find...
00:40:19...
00:40:21...
00:41:19Oh, well, fella.
00:41:37Sorry I passed out on you.
00:41:39What's he got here?
00:41:42Milk.
00:41:45Groceries.
00:41:49You're listed as shopping.
00:41:52Boy, can I use these things.
00:41:53No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07They're hunting for both of us now.
00:43:07We have one more trip to make.
00:43:12Here.
00:43:13Take that to Linda.
00:43:14Go on.
00:43:15Take it to Linda.
00:43:16Law enforcement officers late this afternoon maintained a grim vigil over a 40-mile section
00:43:26of desert near Tempe, Arizona.
00:43:28Which is the hiding place of Jill Mallon, escaped convict and killer, and five members
00:43:33of a desperate mob.
00:43:34All avenues of escape are blocked.
00:43:36And officers guarding the area have been instructed to shoot to kill.
00:43:40They'll shoot, Bill.
00:43:43Dan Tate promised me they wouldn't.
00:43:44It's out of Dan's hands now.
00:43:46What was that?
00:43:50Wolf!
00:43:51Listen to this.
00:43:52Please tie Wolf up and keep him with you.
00:43:56I'm going after Mallon.
00:43:57It's the one way for me to prove that I'm okay.
00:43:59If I can make him talk, maybe things will work out all right for us.
00:44:06Bill.
00:44:07But he wouldn't stand a chance against Mallon.
00:44:08He hasn't even got a gun.
00:44:09Maybe Bill will do it without a gun.
00:44:10There's nothing we can do to stop him.
00:44:11Well, there might be.
00:44:12Now, what are you up to?
00:44:13I'm going after Mallon.
00:44:14I'm going after Mallon.
00:44:15I'm going after Mallon.
00:44:16It's the one way for me to prove that I'm okay.
00:44:18If I can make him talk, maybe things will work out all right for us.
00:44:20Bill.
00:44:21But he wouldn't stand a chance against Mallon.
00:44:22He hasn't even got a gun.
00:44:23Maybe Bill will do it without a gun.
00:44:24There's nothing we can do to stop him.
00:44:26Well, there might be.
00:44:29Now, what are you up to?
00:44:32I'm going to have a break.
00:44:33I'm going to have a break.
00:44:38I'm going to have Wolf take this note to Bill.
00:44:40And I'm going to have him take me to Bill, too.
00:44:42But you can't do that.
00:44:44Oh, yes, I can.
00:44:46And I'll tell you what you can do to help.
00:44:48Get the two big canteens and fill them with water.
00:44:50And pack some food while I'm getting ready.
00:44:51And get me a leash for Wolf.
00:44:53Now, you listen to me, Linda.
00:44:54I won't have you going around that desert all by yourself to look for anybody.
00:44:58Especially when you might come face to face with a murderer like Mallon.
00:45:02If you insist on it, well, I'll go with you.
00:45:06Come on, Zoom, Dad.
00:45:08You're slow.
00:45:09Come on, let's go.
00:45:10Come on, let's go.
00:45:11Come on, let's go.
00:45:15This is about where they said he left the car.
00:45:33We can start from here.
00:45:38Come on, Wolf.
00:45:40Come on.
00:45:41Now, Wolf.
00:45:42Listen.
00:45:43I'm going to give you a note.
00:45:45And then I'm going to put a leash on you.
00:45:47And you're to lead me to Bill just as you would as if you were free.
00:45:50Do you understand?
00:45:51Now, this is...
00:45:53This is for Bill.
00:45:59Oh, Wolf.
00:46:00Wolf, come back here.
00:46:01I'm going to put a leash on you.
00:46:02Wolf!
00:46:03Oh, we'll have to try to follow him in the car.
00:46:06Well, you won't keep up with him once you get off the road.
00:46:08Well, we can try.
00:46:10What?
00:46:11Can I do?
00:46:12Okay?
00:46:13Oh, no, no.
00:46:14I can't do anything.
00:46:15I can't do anything.
00:46:16All right.
00:46:17We can try to get off the stairs.
00:46:18Hey!
00:46:19Hey!
00:46:20Hey!
00:46:21Hey!
00:46:22Hey!
00:46:23Hey!
00:46:24Hey!
00:46:25Hey!
00:46:26Hey!
00:46:27Hey!
00:46:28Hey!
00:46:29Hey!
00:46:30Hey!
00:46:31Hey!
00:46:32Hey!
00:46:33Hey!
00:46:34Hey!
00:46:35Hey!
00:46:36Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:38Hey!
00:46:39What's the matter with the car?
00:46:50We're fresh out of oil.
00:46:52You mean it won't go?
00:46:53Not without oil it won't.
00:46:55The feline is busted.
00:46:56That's fine.
00:46:59Having trouble, Joe?
00:47:02Don't shoot.
00:47:03Don't you recognize an old friend?
00:47:07What are you doing here?
00:47:09I had to make a getaway.
00:47:10Around here, the only place to hide is the desert.
00:47:13Go ahead and search me so I can put my hands down.
00:47:15I have a lame left shoulder here.
00:47:17I stopped a bullet when you guys were holding up the bank.
00:47:19The natives thought I was one of you fellas.
00:47:21Let's see if he's got a gun.
00:47:24He can't crank a thing.
00:47:26All right, you can drop him.
00:47:27Thanks.
00:47:29All right, now I'll tell you a story.
00:47:31How come you show up out here in Arizona all at once?
00:47:33I've been staying out in Tempe for some time,
00:47:35waiting for a chance to take that bank.
00:47:36You fellas have to beat me to it.
00:47:38You get all the dough.
00:47:39All I get is a slug from that hick marshal
00:47:41when you push me off the car.
00:47:45Get that fellas?
00:47:46The kid was going to pull a solo job on that bank,
00:47:48only we beat him to it.
00:47:51Maybe I'm not too late for a share of that dough.
00:47:54What are you talking about?
00:47:55You're going to have some difficulty
00:47:57getting out of this country.
00:47:58You're boxed up in 40 square miles of desert,
00:48:01with cops on all sides.
00:48:02I might know a way to dodge him.
00:48:04You mean you know a way out?
00:48:06Yeah.
00:48:06Well, the roads are all washed.
00:48:08We found that out.
00:48:08The way I'm talking about, you don't need roads.
00:48:10Look, it's 30 miles of tough going to the Mexican border.

00:54:43It's daylight.
00:54:44Let's get started before the sun gets too hot.
00:54:46Boy.
00:54:47I was having a swellest dream.
00:54:50I was in a Mexican gin mug talking to the prettiest little senorita.
00:54:55You've got a lot of traveling to do before your dreams come true.
00:54:58I'll get the other guys up.
00:55:00Come on, you fellas.
00:55:02Uh-oh.
00:55:03We're going to be short of water.
00:55:05Come on, sir.
00:55:06That's what happened.
00:55:07You were supposed to wash the water.
00:55:09You were supposed to wash the water.
00:55:10I got a good body to put a slug in there.
00:55:11Wait a minute, George.
00:55:12I swear the stop was in good time last night.
00:55:14It couldn't have been.
00:55:15I would still be there.
00:55:16It couldn't have been or it would still be there.
00:55:17Well, we still got the other canteen.
00:55:21About half full.
00:55:23Not much water for five men.
00:55:24But it'll have to do.
00:55:25Hey, wait a minute, Joe.
00:55:26Take it easy.
00:55:27The sun gets powerful hot around noon.
00:55:28Thanks for the tip.
00:55:29I'll hang out with this from now on.
00:55:30Yeah, I can use a drink right now.
00:55:31Yeah, that's all right.
00:55:32Yeah, that's all right.
00:55:33And the gas will be too hot.
00:55:34I'll just get the water to eat.
00:55:36You know, I'll just put a slug in here.
00:55:39Wait a minute, Joe.
00:55:40I'll just put a slug in here.
00:55:41Wait a minute, Joe.
00:55:42I'll just put a slug in here.
00:55:44Wait a minute, Joe.
00:55:45I'll just put a slug in here.
00:55:46I swear the stop was in good time last night.
00:55:47It couldn't have been, or it'd still be there.
00:55:49I'll hang out of this from now on.
00:55:51Yeah, I could use a drink right now.
00:55:53Yeah, so could I.
00:55:54Wait a minute.
00:55:55We've got to conserve.
00:55:56Didn't you hear the man say we'd be thirsty at noon?
00:55:59Come on, let's get out of here.
00:56:00Linda, look.
00:56:25It's Wolf.
00:56:30It's money.
00:56:41$2,000.
00:56:47What's that, a message?
00:56:49Yes, it's a message.
00:56:52Bill's way of telling me that he's found Mellon.
00:56:55Maybe it's all right.
00:56:56A marriage license.
00:57:00Come on.
00:57:06There's everything else.
00:57:11Here, Wolf.
00:57:17Look at him drinking.
00:57:20He must have come a long way.
00:57:24Wait a minute, Phil.
00:57:26We've been traveling like this for four days.
00:57:28We should have reached the border by now.
00:57:29I can't help that.
00:57:31We've got to go a roundabout way if we want to duck the cops.
00:57:34Might take longer, but...
00:57:35Okay, okay, keep going.
00:57:39I'll take that canteen.
00:57:40Nothing's doing. On your way. Come on, let's keep going.
00:57:43Don't move a step farther until I get a drink.
00:57:49All right.
00:57:58All right, let's go.
00:58:00Come on.
00:58:01You spilled the last canteen. You're going to die.
00:58:03Listen, Joe.
00:58:04Don't do it. Don't do it.
00:58:05Listen, Joe.
00:58:06Don't do it. Don't do it.
00:58:07Listen, Joe.
00:58:08Listen, Alan.
00:58:09I'm going to have a drink.
00:58:15Hey, you guys can have a drink.
00:58:18Only a sip.
00:58:21Just a sip, my son.
00:58:23Joe, give me a drink.
00:58:24I need it.
00:58:25Sure.
00:58:28I hate greedy guys.
00:58:36I hate greedy guys.
00:58:48Much farther to the border.
00:58:50Tomorrow ought to get us where we're going.
00:58:53You mean we've got to go another day in the hot sun?
00:58:56We're tackling the water?
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:59You've got some ideas about getting some.
00:59:02If you'd like to start digging a well for some.
00:59:04There's water under the desert.
00:59:05Plenty of it.
00:59:06Yeah?
00:59:07How far down?
00:59:08A thousand feet.
00:59:10Oh, smart guy, huh?
00:59:12Wait till I get over the border and remember that crack.
00:59:14Sure you will.
00:59:15Over a nice big juicy steak.
00:59:18And a cold bottle of champagne.
00:59:20Will you quit talking about stuff to eat and drink?
00:59:28Hey, those things come out every night, don't they?
00:59:30Yeah.
00:59:32They're very patient when they think they've got a fellow on the spot.
00:59:36They ain't got me on those spots.
00:59:38No, of course not.
00:59:39Tomorrow night but this time we'll be in the clear.
00:59:43I will have so much water we can bathe in it.
00:59:47Will you quit talking about water?
00:59:48Go.
00:59:49How far?
00:59:50What are you talking about water?
00:59:51That's the way you're talking about water.
00:59:57You got to be here.
00:59:58I won't go.
01:00:00You got to be here.
01:00:06I won't go.
01:00:12I won't go.
01:00:13I won't go.
01:00:14I won't go.
01:00:15Oh, my God!
01:00:22It's too late!
01:00:25It's too late!
01:00:28What happened?
01:00:33I was like, I'm going to go for it!
01:00:36I'm going to go for it!
01:00:39I'm going to go for it!
01:00:43What happened?
01:00:45We split the twelve grand two ways.
01:00:48Marty just finished the water.
01:00:59What's the matter, Joe? Can't you take it?
01:01:02It's kind of hard to breathe, huh?
01:01:04Yeah. That's the dust.
01:01:06It's near nose and throat.
01:01:08You're kind of dizzy too, don't you?
01:01:09Well, that's the sun.
01:01:12Bad combination of dust and the sun.
01:01:15The only thing that'll help it is water.
01:01:17Lots of good, cool, clean, clear, sparkling water.
01:01:22Shut up.
01:01:25Hey, how come you ain't suffering like I am?
01:01:29Maybe it's because I've had more water to drink since we started.
01:01:32And you have.
01:01:34You know, I...
01:01:36I drank most of that first canteen.
01:01:38The one you thought Flint spilled.
01:01:41Another idea of mine was traveling in the daytime.
01:01:44So you get good and thirsty.
01:01:46You better sell your river, mate.
01:01:48Go ahead and shoot.
01:01:50You'll be left all alone on the desert.
01:01:52You and the wolves.
01:01:54Tonight, when you're all alone, the wolves will move in on you.
01:01:58They do that.
01:02:00When a man's crazy with hunger and thirst.
01:02:03If you happen to live through the night and make the highway tomorrow, you'll be picked up.
01:02:08For murder.
01:02:10What's your angle?
01:02:12You want something from me, don't you?
01:02:14Yes.
01:02:16I want the story of our acquaintance from the start.
01:02:18Signed by you.
01:02:19All right.
01:02:21You got something to write with?
01:02:23You'll bet I have.
01:02:25Hey.
01:02:26How much longer?
01:02:27A couple of hours.
01:02:28Oh.
01:02:29Look.
01:02:30A car coming.
01:02:32A couple of people in there.
01:02:33We better duck.
01:02:35Wait a minute.
01:02:38We ain't hiding, smart guy.
01:02:40I got three slugs left in this gun.
01:02:42The first ones are for you, if they're trying to cross me.
01:02:46The other two for those yokels in that car.
01:02:48And those fuel cars in that car.
01:02:50Don't worry, man.
01:02:51You're missing, man.
01:02:53How much longer?
01:02:55How much longer?
01:02:57A couple of hours.
01:02:59Oh.
01:03:01Look.
01:03:02Then I'll go across the border alone and have a swell time with all the money.
01:03:09You should have known no one can outsmart Joe Mallon and get away with it.
01:03:14Instead, hopefully it ain't gonna do you no good now.
01:03:19Get him off me! Get him off me! Get him!
01:03:27That's enough, Wolf.
01:03:28That's enough, Wolf.
01:03:31Wolf! Wolf! That's enough!
01:03:36Bill!
01:03:37Is this Mallon, Bill?
01:03:38Yes.
01:03:39Take over, will you please? I'm... I'm all in.
01:03:42Oh, darling, let me help you.
01:03:44Come on, get on your feet, Mallon.
01:03:47You, Linda Harkness, take William Carver to be your lawfully wedded husband.
01:03:53You, William Carver, take Linda Harkness to be your lawfully wedded wife.
01:03:58I do.
01:03:59Put the ring on her finger.
01:04:06My authority vested in me by the state of Arizona, I pronounce you man and wife.
01:04:10Kiss me.
01:04:11I'm not all in, I'm all in, I'm all in.
01:04:12I'm all in.
01:04:13I think we're not and I'll pray for a long time.
01:04:14I'm all in.
01:04:16Well, we'll be right back.
01:04:17You have to make a wonderful work today and get, I know just so much time.
01:04:21We'll be right back!
01:04:22We'll be okay with you.
01:04:23The thing that night is, with the weather that I'm living in, it has been
01:04:24a good week.
01:04:25We're going to be right back.
01:04:27And I'll be right back on the road.
