00:00The End
01:59How are you getting along with that?
02:01Pretty good.
02:02Buckskin showed me how to fix the ice.
02:08I wonder how Mother and Dad are doing up ahead.
02:10They must be pretty tired.
02:12It's been a long trip, Jimmy.
02:13I'm tired, too.
02:15I'll be glad when we get where we're going.
02:17Wish we'd never left home.
02:19Cheer up, Jimmy.
02:20Don't always be complaining.
02:21Then, when we get settled in our new homestead, you'll be glad we left old Kansas.
02:26Jack, you told me I'd get to shoot Indians, and I ain't even seen any yet.
02:30That's what's wrong with you, Jimmy.
02:32Always looking for trouble.
02:33If you don't change your way, you want them up to anything.
02:36Oh, you're always telling me that.
02:38That's the use of coming out here if we can't run into some Indians so I can use this gun.
02:42There's a rumor about five miles down.
02:59I'll ride ahead and see if we can cross it before dark, Mr. Winters.
03:02I'll ride ahead and see if we can cross it.
03:32I guess that's the outfit, all right.
03:36They don't look like to me they'd be carrying that payroll money.
03:39But Larson tipped me off if the money would be shipped secretly with the settler's outfit for protection.
03:43So if it's there, we'll get it.
04:02I'll ride ahead and see if it's here.
04:14I'll ride and see if we can cross it.
04:15Round them cattle up!
04:45First the wagons, then burn them!
05:15That money ain't here.
05:17Well, we'll take whatever else we can find.
05:21Stay away or I'll shoot.
05:24You're a spunky little rascal.
05:27A real fighter, eh, kid?
05:30Well, I like fighters.
05:35I'm gonna take him with us.
05:45Well, that's the cattle we got for more than pay for the trouble.
06:04Yeah.
06:13Thank you, Paul.
06:16Yes, sir.
06:20I'm going to take a look at this.
08:26I come back to find the wagons burned
08:34and his folks buried them graves there.
08:38A gang of renegades did it.
08:52The Indians had taken Jack and treated him like one of their own.
08:57Took me five years to locate him and get him back.
09:01But the brother, Boxkin, you never learned of him?
09:04No.
09:05He seemed to disappear from the earth.
09:09Jack and me have been trying to locate him ever since.
09:12You call him Jack?
09:13Sure, that's his name.
09:15Oh, we all call him Cherokee.
09:17But the people think he's part Indian.
09:20So I've heard.
09:21And he never meet up with his gang?
09:23No, but he'll keep on looking just the same.
09:26I will hate to be in their shoes when he find them.
09:30Come on, Rusty.
09:31What is that you make, my friend?
09:41Oh, I've been doing this since I was a kid.
09:43Yeah, I've been doing this ever since I was a kid.
09:50Get where I learned it.
09:52Just a habit when I'm nervous, I guess.
09:54You know, when Dad first talked you was wagon boss for this trip,
09:57I nearly fainted when I saw you whittling a doll.
10:00There you were, the Kansas kid carving a doll.
10:05And what's that?
10:07Oh, that's a lock that my mother gave me.
10:09Oh.
10:12I never knew my mother.
10:13She died when I was just a youngster.
10:16Killed by the Indians.
10:20And I've sort of knocked around ever since.
10:22We're ready to roll whenever you are.
10:24Sooner the battle, Mr. Masters.
10:26I'll be glad when we get through that sending country.
10:28Oh.
10:29Well, uh.
10:30I'll get things started.
10:31I never saw a man look so worried just at the mention of Indians.
10:46Well, his mother was killed by them.
10:47He told me so.
10:49Oh, I see.
10:50Lex, you knew my mother.
10:54Sure I did.
10:55Why?
10:56Was she, uh, pretty as her?
11:01Well, you see, kid, the other time I ever seen you, mother, was when she was.
11:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:05I know.
11:07Say, you ain't getting too interested, are you?
11:09You know, we got a job to do, and Buff's counting on you.
11:13Don't you worry about that.
11:18Oh, Mr. Masters.
11:19Yeah?
11:22Lex and I are going to ride ahead to the south ridge and check the trail.
11:25Right, kid.
11:25We'll push along behind you.
11:27I'm heading them for Rainbow Canyon, but they'll camp at the Willows tonight.
11:48Now we'll have a chance to give Buff the tip.
11:50That ought to work.
11:57Time adds little changes to rocks, eh, Rawhide?
12:03It's been a good many years since we was here.
12:07But this country ought to make good pickings, the way the kid works.
12:10Funny thing, the way that kid took to our game, ain't it?
12:14A born leader, good with a gun, and tough as a boot.
12:19I pity you if he ever learns the truth.
12:22I told you never to breathe that.
12:24He'll always think it was Indians.
12:29I'll kill the man that tells him different.
12:31Well, only Lex and me knows, so don't worry.
12:35Charles Redding, come on.
12:54Buffett worked easy.
13:18Masters hired me without any question.
13:20I'm Wagon Boss with them.
13:22Where are they headed?
13:23Wagon Springs.
13:24Got a nice load of provisions and some cattle.
13:27What's it going to be worth?
13:29With beef at four cents a pound, should clear about 2,000.
13:33When do we take them?
13:34I've steered them off the main trail.
13:36They're headed for Rainbow Canyon.
13:39Get us about noontime.
13:41We'll be there.
13:42We'll be there.
13:42We'll be there.
13:44We'll be there.
13:46We'll be there.
13:48We'll be there.
13:50Hey, what's on your mind?
13:56I wish we'd never come back here.
13:58Why?
14:00Well, it was somewhere near here you found me, wasn't it, Buff?
14:03That's right.
14:03I never knew my folks, but somehow I feel they're near me.
14:10You better get some grub.
14:15Thanks.
14:16I love my tamale.
14:20That's my sweetheart name.
14:22She loves the chilies.
14:24To me it's just the same.
14:26And when we get married, we'll buy a rancherito to raise friolis, tamales, and little chilies too.
14:35Well, I love the chilies, they never give me sorrow, cause the little chilies of today is the big pepper tomorrow.
14:53Who's that?
15:12Hey, who's that?
15:23That fella seemed scared when he saw us.
15:26Yeah, I'll find out why.
15:28You wait here.
15:32Hey there!
15:42Gee, ma'am, I'm sorry.
15:58I thought you were a man.
15:59And when I called to you, you didn't stop.
16:01And you were acting so strange, I...
16:02Well, you sure scared me.
16:03I'm very sorry.
16:04But say, who are you?
16:06Well, they call me Cherokee.
16:08Oh, my dad and I have heard lots about you.
16:11But somehow our trail's never crossed.
16:13You're riding kind of far out, aren't you, miss?
16:15Are you alone?
16:16No, my outfit's back in the willows.
16:18We planned to camp there tonight.
16:19Well, what's an outfit doing way up here?
16:21We're going to Wagon Springs.
16:24Wagon Springs?
16:27Who's leading your outfit?
16:28My dad, Jeff Masters, and the Kansas Kid.
16:31Why?
16:32Well, you're way off the main trail.
16:35If you're sure of that, I wish you'd tell Dad.
16:37Well, I'd be glad to.
16:41Mr. Masters, you're heading for Rainbow Canyon.
16:50It's blind.
16:51Where's your wagon boss?
16:53Why, he rode on ahead.
16:54But he'll be back soon.
16:56Dad, Cherokee said he'd be glad to head us to Wagon Springs.
16:59Well, uh...
17:00What'll he charge us for your time?
17:02Oh, there'll be no charge, Mr. Masters.
17:04I'm going that way myself, and I'll be very glad for the company.
17:07You know, I can't figure how we missed a trail.
17:10Well, evidently, your wagon boss doesn't know much about this country.
17:13But we'll get you back on the main trail easy.
17:15I'm giving the orders here.
17:21What seems to be the trouble?
17:23Oh, Cherokee, this is, uh, the Kansas Kid, our wagon boss.
17:29Well, there's no hard feelings, Kansas.
17:31I just figured you were off your bearings, that's all.
17:33What's wrong with the way we're headed?
17:35Well, Rainbow is impassable.
17:37And besides, it's Apache country.
17:39You ought to know about Indians, Cherokee.
17:41You're one, ain't you?
17:42My word, Mr. Masters, you're heading wrong.
17:49I'm inclined to believe you, Cherokee, and we'll go your way.
17:52Hold on, Masters.
17:53You hired me to run this outfit, didn't you?
17:56Without no interference from that half-breed.
17:58How do you know he's not figuring a double-cross, leading us into an Indian trap?
18:03Relax, please.
18:04Please.
18:12I'm sorry for starting trouble.
18:19It wasn't your fault.
18:20I'd have done the same thing.
18:29Masters, I'm quitting this outfit.
18:30Go ahead and string with that galoot and see where it gets you.
18:32Yeah, and we'll drift along after supper.
18:36All right, boss.
18:38If that's the way you want it.
18:45I hope our trails cross again, Cherokee.
18:47Cherokee.
18:47Cherokee.
18:47Cherokee.
18:48Cherokee.
18:48Cherokee.
18:49Cherokee.
18:51Cherokee.
18:53Cherokee.
18:55Cherokee.
18:59Cherokee.
19:00Cherokee.
19:01Cherokee.
19:02Cherokee.
19:02You know, Cherokee, this is the first chance I've had to thank you since we got straightened
19:10out on the trail.
19:11No thanks, necessary, ma'am.
19:13You're an odd man, Cherokee.
19:16Odd?
19:17Your life.
19:18The way you're always willing to help people who can't even afford to pay you.
19:21And you always travel the trails alone.
19:23They say you won't stay working long for one outfit.
19:26That's right.
19:28I like to drift around and see different places and different people.
19:32You ever think of settling down?
19:34Some day, maybe.
19:35To ranching.
19:36In fact, I've got the spot all picked out.
19:40Tell me about it.
19:41Well, it's the kind of place Mother always wanted.
19:46Acres and acres of trees and flowers.
19:50And a lake, too.
19:51And the sky seemed to always be smiling down on it.
19:55Mom always dreamed of a place like that and called it her heaven.
20:01She never saw it, though.
20:04Lost her life on this very trail.
20:07Indians?
20:07No.
20:08White renegades.
20:11That's the reason I stick to the trails.
20:14Because someday I'll find them.
20:16What you're thinking, Buck?
20:35I hope what I'm thinking is wrong for Cherokee's sake.
20:39Let's get ridin', kid.
20:54Let's get ridin', kid.
20:58I've got a little unfinished business.
21:26Well, I was waitin' for that.
21:48Dad is going to establish a freight line between Wagon Springs and Independence.
21:51Well, he should do all right.
21:53And if I can ever help, you just call on me.
21:55Thanks.
21:56Well, I guess I'll turn in.
22:01Good night, Cherokee.
22:02Good night, Mary.
22:03What's wrong, Rusty?
22:32What's the matter?
22:33Hold it, son.
22:54Them critters ain't worth going after.
22:57Yeah, I guess you're right.
22:59And you promised to lead us to Wagon Springs.
23:00Well, that's why I called the raid off, Buff.
23:10I tell you, that Cherokee is a whole lot smart and powerful with a gun.
23:14Ask Lex.
23:15He can tell you.
23:15For years, I heard plenty about him.
23:22He makes it tough on men in our business.
23:25I'd hoped he wasn't in these parts.
23:27He won't be for long.
23:29I'd have dropped him in his tracks last night, but, well, we was outnumbered.
23:32We didn't come all the way out here for nothing.
23:35We've got to make a haul.
23:37We will, and on Wagon Springs.
23:41But my first job is to take care of that Cherokee.
23:44I'll see.
23:44I'll see.
23:44I'll see.
23:44I'll see.
24:15Thank you, Keith. Good morning, Mr. Masters. I was just wondering if you'd be interested in tying in with me as trail boss. What do you say? Well, I don't care much about tying in too tight on any one job, Mr. Masters. You see, I have matters of my own that keep me traveling.
24:35Well, just as you say, I was counting on you, sorter. But we will guide your outfit until you get things running. That's fine, because I got a special shipment that'll make history in the next day or so, and I'll meet you. Thanks. All right.
24:48Well, I think I'll make that little visit. That's a good idea. And I'm taking Lopez along. Thank you very much. Well, I'll just drift over to the Oasis and wet my whistle. Might see some new faces and learn something.
25:07Busty! Come here, boy.
25:26Hey!
25:30Firebrand! Come here, boy.
25:32Where are we going, please?
25:56Where are we going, please?
25:56Firebrand!
26:24Firebrand!
26:54I'll bring you good news.
26:57White's Fathers Beyond Big River promised me peace treaty will be lived up to.
27:02You will get your lands back under one condition.
27:06No fighting.
27:11Say there's something going on in Wagon Springs.
27:21Some galoots discovered gold and made a deal with Jeff Masters for him to haul out their
27:24first big load.
27:25Say, this might be the luckiest strike we've ever made.
27:28There you men, come on with me.
27:30What are you going to do?
27:31Well, if it's all right with you, Buff, I'm going to get the load on this deal.
27:34And make sure that Cherokee don't cut down on our plans again.
27:37Go ahead.
27:38Go ahead.
27:44It won't look good for all of us to ride in there.
27:51You go with me.
27:55The rest of you stay here.
27:56We'll get back.
27:57We'll get back.
27:58We'll get back.
27:59We'll get back.
28:04Find out when Masters is going to roll out of here with that shipment.
28:05Try and get yourself a job at the outset.
28:11I'm going to take a look around for Cherokee.
28:12I'm going to take a look around for Cherokee.
28:13I'm going to take a look around for Cherokee.
28:36The discovery of gold, Buckskin, will make history in boom wagon springs overnight.
28:49If I can carry that shipment through safely for the Kramer boys, my freight line will be
28:54made.
28:55Looks mighty good for you, Masters.
28:58Who'd ever thought that there was gold out here?
29:01How much over are you figuring to haul?
29:04Oh, I can take $10,000 worth on this trip.
29:07It's plenty rich.
29:08Say, where's Cherokee?
29:09Weigh on a little business.
29:11Say, when are you expecting to start with this ore?
29:14In the morning.
29:15You'll be back before then.
29:18Howdy, mister.
29:20I hear you was looking for some hands on your freighter.
29:23Well, I can use a man.
29:24Better show up in the morning.
29:25Thanks.
29:26I'll be here.
29:27News of this discovery travels like wildfire.
29:31I better be getting things ready.
29:33Would you tell Cherokee I want to see him?
29:35Sure thing.
29:36I've caught on with them.
29:37I know all their plans.
29:38They roll out in the morning.
29:39Good.

38:22So you better load now and make a run for it.
38:25Thanks, Cherokee.
38:25I'll leave at once.
38:27I'll get Buckskin and Lopez and follow you.
38:28All right, I'll pull out just as soon as I load deal work.
38:39Cherokee, I wanted to go, but Dad wouldn't hear of it.
38:42Promise you'll see him through?
38:43I'll do my best.
38:44I'll do my best.
38:49Well, I guess I'll get the boys and be on my way.
38:51Well, I guess I'll get the boys and be on my way.
38:51Buckskin wants you to follow him out on the trail.
39:00Buckskin wants you to follow him out on the trail.
39:01I think he's after the kid.
39:03Lopez, here's what I want you to do.
39:22Cherokee's left.
39:23They started down the trail with that gold shipment.
39:25We'll get Buck and add him off.
39:33And don't lose any time.
39:37See you, amigo.
39:38Firebrand, we have work to do.
39:41Buck, I tell you, you're making a mistake.
39:44The kid is handling this all wrong.
39:46What's the matter with you?
39:47You're getting yellow.
39:49No, not yellow.
39:50But we're fooling with dynamite.
39:52This Cherokee won't be taken so easy.
39:54He's smart, I tell you.
39:55He'll find some way to get enough men together to cook us.
39:59Since when did you start trying to run this outfit, Lex?
40:01I ain't trying to run it.
40:03But I'm for cleaning up on that stuff at Wagon Springs and getting out of here.
40:06Some of the other fellas feel the same way.
40:09The kid will handle it his way.
40:10Ah!
40:11The kid.
40:12That's all I've heard out of you for years, ever since we picked him up.
40:15And if he ever knew it was you who killed his people.
40:18I warned you, Lex.
40:23They're making a run with that shipment.
40:36If we hustle, we can catch them across the plains.
40:38Good work, kid.
40:38I just remembered something.
41:05How about that fellow buckskin?
41:07That's right.
41:08We can't leave him there.
41:10I'll go back.
41:11No, let me do it.
41:12It'll be a pleasure.
41:14Right on.
41:14I'll be right with you.
41:15All right.
41:16I'll be right with you.
41:46You're lucky, Lex.
41:55His bullet just creased you.
41:57Thanks.
41:58Well, thanks for helping me.
42:00I'll be right with you.
42:01I'll be right with you.
42:30Let's step out in the open, kid, and get it over with.
42:50You count five, and come on.

43:01Four.
43:03Hold it!
43:04Killed the key.
43:06The kid's your brother.
43:08Understand?
43:09Your brother!
43:10Your brother!
43:10It's a trick, buckskin.
43:17No, it ain't, kid.
43:18I'll prove it.
43:19Come here.
43:20Lex!
43:20How can you prove it?
43:45In the years we've been together, kid, I've never lied to you.
43:50Cherokee is your brother.
43:53Remember these?
43:54I showed you how to carve them.
43:56Yeah.
44:03I remember.
44:07Buckskin.
44:10Yes, Jimmy.
44:12I've hunted for you for a long time.
44:16And maybe now you're sorry.
44:18No.
44:18I'm glad.
44:34Get him!
44:35We're in for it.
44:53Let's make to the rocks.
44:54Yeah!
44:55Ha!
44:56Ha!
44:57Ha!
44:58Buck Gordon's the man you're after, Jack.
45:01He killed your folks.
45:02That's right.
45:03I saw him when he done it.
45:04Well, where is he?
45:09That's Buff.
45:09They've got masters.
45:11Come on, Buckskin.
45:12I'm going with you, Jack, if you'll let me.
45:14Sure, kid.
45:15Get your horse.
45:34I'm a hundredthome.
45:36Move!
45:53I ain't gonna do it.
45:55I found him when he's gone.
45:58I got you sorged.
45:58The End
46:28The End
46:58It's the kid and Lex
47:03He's been double-crossed
47:05Yeah
47:06It's the kid and Lex
47:36The last time we were together, you were looking for trouble. Remember?
47:54Is it that, kid?
48:07I guess this is it, Cherokee.
48:08It's the end of the day.
49:08What did you get in, Cherokee?
49:27He's taken care of.
49:29Where are you hit, kid?
49:31All over, I guess.
49:34I got just what I deserved.
49:35And our lives might have been so different.
49:42You're a great kid, Cherokee.
49:45I'm sorry.
49:46I...
49:46Now you try it.
50:05Lopez, Mr. Masters wants us to leave today with him on a freight haul.
50:10What about Cherokee?
50:12Is he not going?
50:14What's the matter with you?
50:16Use your eyes.
50:18Can't you see he's a mighty busy man with a wedding coming up?
50:23What are you thinking of?
50:26Settling down.
50:28In that little spot I was telling you about.
50:30Of course.
50:31I'm sorry.
50:32I'm sorry.
50:33His name is Peter.
50:42He yelled at me.
50:45He had to leave me.
50:46I ain't going up.
50:47I don't know where you go now.
50:49I'm having a house.
