00:00Dad, Hoppy's here.
00:04Dan!
00:07Well, I sure am glad to see you, Hoppy.
00:10Oh, I'm sure glad to see you, too. How are you?
00:13Well, I feel a lot better now that you're here.
00:15Fine. Oh, Dan, I want you to meet a couple of friends of mine.
00:18This is Lucky Jenkins and California Carlson.
00:20Hi, Forbes.
00:21Howdy.
00:22And this one's sure good at finding trails.
00:24Is that so?
00:26Well, you're both welcome.
00:28Well, thanks. I think we're gonna like it here.
00:32Oh, uh, Helen told us all the trouble, Dan.
00:36I think we'd better get down to business.
00:38Did anyone know you sent for me?
00:40Yes, Henry Logan, president of the Miners' Association and head of the Vigilantes.
00:45Well, that's interesting.
00:46Well, how do you mean?
00:48Well, an outlaw we know by the name of Big Ed tried to get me at the entrance to Gunsite Pass.
00:53You don't think Logan sent him?
00:55Well, it kind of looks that way.
00:57That's nonsense.
00:59Logan's the biggest man in Silver Center.
01:01Yeah, but if he didn't tell Big Ed about Hoppy, who did?
01:04Dad, do you suppose that Logan is responsible for you being shot?
01:08Well, do you think I ought to tell the rest of the Vigilantes about this?
01:14No, I don't think I'd do that, Dan.
01:17They might be in with the outlaws and that'd put them all on their guard.
01:21And just suspecting Logan isn't gonna be enough.
01:24We got to get some definite proof.
01:26How?
01:27Well, uh, do you know all these Vigilantes?
01:31Yes, I...
01:32Hand me that book, will you, honey?
01:35I got a list of them right here.
01:39There's all of them that are left.
01:45Well, that might kind of help.
01:48Luke!
01:57My Luke!
01:58Ma'am, you're mistaken. I'm California Carlson.
02:01Carlson?
02:02Oh, I'm Hoppy. I'd like to have you meet my sister.
02:06Jenny, this is Mr. Cassidy.
02:07How do, Mr. Cassidy?
02:08How do you do?
02:09And, uh, this is Mr. Jenkins.
02:11Mr. Jenkins.
02:12How do you do, ma'am?
02:13I guess you already know Mr. Carlson.
02:15Howdy.
02:16Well, I can see that you're not my Luke.
02:18He went away ten years ago to seek his fortune, promised to come back to marry me.
02:22And I thought for a moment, you're the spitting image of him.
02:25Well, I think we'd better get to town.
02:28And remember, none of you have ever seen us before.
02:31Yeah, none of you has ever seen us before.
02:34See you later, California.
02:36Bye.
02:37Bye.
02:38Just a minute, I'm going to...
