00:00Oh, song of songs to me, music of the rage, western symphony.
00:16Up as he roars, lovely melodies, from the golden west, song of songs to me.
00:46Ride the carol, ride. Ride the carol, ride.
01:04Ten for the blue horizon, keepin' your eyes on the train.
01:13Ride the carol, ride. Have some by your side.
01:21Ten for the horizon wide, singin' a song for carol drive.
01:34All right, boys, make those lines fast. It's the last load. Get those crates ashore.
02:05Hey, hold it! Those crates don't unload there.
02:11Yeah, why don't they?
02:13Well, I'd have to truck them back 20 miles. You were supposed to deliver them at the inlet.
02:17I know, mister, but I can't sail the Apache Rose on a mudflat.
02:21Well, you're lucky to sail that thing at all.
02:23That's very funny. While you're laughing at your jokes, I'll unload your equipment.
02:26That won't do any good. I'm in a hurry. I'm trying to get a well started.
02:30Oh, so you're Mr. Coe's drilling company, huh?
02:32That's right, Roy Rogers. I put the order in for that equipment.
02:35And I'm giving the orders on this tug. Unload them, boys.
02:39Wait a minute. I told you I don't want this stuff unloaded here.
02:43Get that hook off and put that big crate back on. We've got to get it down to him.
02:47Yeah, but she said...
02:48Listen, mister, I give the orders here. Get off my tug.
02:51Ah! Ah!
02:54Oh, you filthy jarhead, you pushed me.
02:57Well, you did it yourself.
02:59Here, let me give you a hand.
03:01Not on your life, you lug head.
03:14Billy!
03:15Carlos!
03:16Billy, what is the matter?
03:20This big knothead here thinks I'm going to haul his crate up and down the coast on a pleasure cruise.
03:25Look what he did to me, Carlos. I must be a sight.
03:29Roy!
03:32Joy, glad to see you.
03:35What are you doing here, you horse thief?
03:38Horse thief?
03:39Oh, Roy, just joking. Weren't you, Roy?
03:42Well, I...
03:43I'll have you to know I got my old job back again, farming on the Rancho Vega.
03:47I hear that we're starting up again.
03:49You two know each other?
03:50Not officially.
03:51Carlos, how about saying howdy to Roy Rogers?
03:54Howdy. How are you?
03:55What was all the arguments about these crates?
03:57Well, I'm drilling a test well back on the mesa.
03:59They were supposed to deliver this equipment at the inlet.
04:02It's pretty heavy, and I have no way of getting it back there.
04:04If he can get it there, he'll sure strike oil.
04:06Roy's one of the best wildcatters in the business.
04:09It seems to me he's a very good friend of yours.
04:11Sure is.
04:12Used to punch cows for me in Texas.
04:14Before he started to punch holes in the ground.
04:18Maybe we can help him.
04:19I don't see why not.
04:20I think we can get that equipment in for you.
04:22How about I take some of the men and go get one of the big wagons?
04:25Thanks, Carlos. I can sure use the help.
04:27The rest of my crew haven't arrived yet.
04:29That's all right, Roy.
04:30Just save us four or five thousand barrels when that well comes in.
04:33Rogers, I want to talk to you.
04:35We have a little matter to settle.
04:36Yeah?
04:37Yeah.
04:38Get your money out.
04:39All these shipments are COD.
04:40Well, that's all right with me.
04:42That's all right.
04:43Roy pays off like a slot machine.
04:45Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
04:52There's your money.
04:53There's your receipt.
04:55Come on, Roy. Let's go get the wagon.
05:02Well, that's a fine thing.
05:04You lend him your wagon, you let him use your road, and you give him your men.
05:08But he did nothing to me.
05:10Well, he did to me.
05:12Carlos, I don't know.
05:13That's the trouble with you.
05:14You're too friendly with strangers.
05:16But you are still a stranger.
05:18Unless you have changed your mind.
05:22You mean about giving up this tug?
05:25I like it.
05:26My father liked it.
05:28I guess it runs in the family.
05:29But you would like it better at the rancho.
05:31You would have the hacienda and your own servants.
05:33Oh, Carlos, you're not going to propose to me again, are you?
05:37What?
05:38You have never said no.
05:40I haven't said yes either.
05:41Carlos, how can I take you seriously?
05:44All those escapades and not forgetting that weakness for gambling either.
05:48I don't like it.
05:49Really, I have given that up.
05:50Honest.
05:51Want to make a bet?
05:53Why, sure, anything.
05:56See what I mean?
05:58You are always kidding me.
06:03Ride, my carol, ride
06:07Ride, my carol, ride
06:11Heading for the blue horizon
06:15Keeping your eyes on the train
06:19Ride, my carol, ride
06:23Hand on higher side
06:27Moving across the prairie wide
06:30Singing a song, my carol, ride
06:34Hear the pounding of the hooves and the creak of leather
06:38Hear the squeaking of the wheels turning mild together
06:43Crack open and shove it hard
06:48Cause we're on the trail again
06:50Ride, my carol, ride
06:54Hand on higher side
06:58Heading for the horizon wide
07:02Singing a song, my carol, ride
07:09Rest your horses!
07:11Check your load!
07:16What you looking at, Roy?
07:17About the best looking oil land I ever saw.
07:20Won't do you no good.
07:21We're on the Rancho Vega property.
07:23Where does that trail lead to?
07:25Down by the ocean.
07:27If there is oil around here, it might show up on the other side of those rocks.
07:32Well, I wouldn't go down there, Roy.
07:34Why not?
07:35There's caves down there.
07:36Nobody never goes near them.
07:38They're haunted.
07:39Strange things happen.
07:41Folks have gone down wandering around
07:43and just come disappeared.
07:46Well, I'll take a look anyway.
08:05You better get those silver bullets ready for those ghosts.
08:34Cause we're going in.
08:36Feel that air coming out.
08:38It's cold.
08:39It's just like a graveyard.
08:41Roy?
08:42Wait a minute, Roy.
09:01My knees are a little shaky.
09:02I feel another one of my spells coming on.
09:04It won't, Alkali.
09:05You never have one of those spells until the going gets tough.
09:08Oh, Roy.
09:13Wait a minute, Roy.
09:14You ain't got such luck to be scared.
09:16I better come along.
09:23Roy and Alkali just came into the game.
09:33This is the hideout.
09:35Where the smart rustlers used to keep their stolen cattle.
09:39Well, you're smart.
09:40Sure I am.
09:41Hey, wait a minute.
09:43I wasn't one of them.
09:44I used to hunt for them.
09:46Bandits like Joaquin Urieta.
09:48Well, that's interesting.
09:50Urieta's been dead 87 years.
09:53Well, I wasn't talking about him.
09:55I was talking about his son, Joaquin Jr.
09:58Never heard of him.
09:59Oh, boy.
10:00Let's get out of here.
10:01He was killed right here in this cave.
10:03Oh, come now.
10:04Hold on.
10:05It's the living truth.
10:06I hope his ghost comes back to haunt me.
10:12Joaquin.
10:28Joaquin.
10:58Stay where you are.
11:17Don't shoot, Roy.
11:18It's me, Alkali.
11:21Where'd you get that flashlight?
11:23I found it on the ground.
11:25Joaquin Jr. with a flashlight, huh?
11:27All right.
11:28It wasn't Joaquin.
11:30Somebody hunting for buried treasure.
11:34There must be another way out of here.
11:41Oil.
11:42Oil?
11:44Oil.
11:45Oil?
11:50There's your buried treasure.
11:54That must have been testing equipment those fellows were carrying.
11:58Come on.
12:03Carlos!
12:06That crazy Alkali is playing Indian again.
12:09Carlos, we found it.
12:10A bonanza.
12:11Oil.
12:12Bubbling up out of the ground.
12:13Down the old rustless cave.
12:15We ran into some men down there, and they started shooting at us.
12:18But they got away in a car.
12:20They weren't your men, were they?
12:21No.
12:22I have no reason of sending my men down there.
12:24We have always known the oil was in the caves.
12:26You have?
12:27Oh, you think you have discovered something big, huh?
12:29Ever since I was so high, we was using that oil for medicine.
12:32It's one of the best oil formations I ever saw.
12:34I'm surprised you haven't tried to develop it.
12:36I could not have done so, even if I would want to.
12:38You see, the land title has just been cleared through the courts.
12:41I only have half interest.
12:42The other half belongs to my cousin Rosa.
12:44Think of all that money.
12:45Oil wells springing up like mushrooms.
12:47You just ain't going to let that oil sit there, is you?
12:49Easy, Alkali.
12:50Rogers, you know what a gamble it is.
12:52You would have to borrow money on the ranch to start the drilling.
12:55And then take a chance on losing it.
12:57Well, it wouldn't be much of a gamble.
12:59Well, we will leave it up to Rosa.
13:01She is coming tomorrow from Mexico.
13:03I will talk with her.
13:04She may change her mind, but I don't think so.
13:07I'll see you later, Carlos.
13:08I have a little oil business of my own to take care of.
13:10And thanks again for the use of your wagons.
13:12Si.
13:18Hello, Carlos.
13:19Oh, hello, Calhoun.
13:21Take a walk, will you?
13:23I'll just sit down.
13:25Alkali, give us a couple of minutes.
13:28Sure.
13:29I'll be around if you need me.
13:32Who is that?
13:33Your bodyguard?
13:34I did not know I'd need one.
13:36Well, maybe you don't.
13:37We'll let that pass.
13:39I'd like to ask you a couple of questions.
13:41About $147,000.
13:44I will.
13:45I will pay you back.
13:46I had a good offer for the oil rights at the ranch.
13:49Well, that's fine.
13:50I was getting a bit worried.
13:52I hadn't seen you out at the gambling ship lately.
13:55You think he'll sell the oil rights?
13:57As far as I am concerned.
13:59But I have a partner, my cousin Rosa.
14:02I might have a little trouble convincing her.
14:04She has some silly sentimental idea that oil
14:07addicts will destroy their ranch.
14:09Well, Carlos, that's your problem.
14:11But I want that bill straightened out.
14:14I don't like overdue accounts.
14:16You will get your money.
14:18We always do.
14:22Carlos.
14:26What did Reed Calhoun want?
14:28Oh, just drumming up a little business for his gambling ship.
14:31Oh, Carlos, you promised.
14:34You'll never make any money that way.
14:46It'd be a lot easier if it was just Carlos who owned that ranch.
14:49You ought to be a mind reader.
14:52You know, I know just the fellow who'll tell Rosa's fortune for a few bucks.
14:58Senor Carlos, I have big surprise for you.
15:01Rosa!
15:02Carlos!
15:03Carlos!
15:04I would not have known you.
15:06How have I changed so much?
15:08Of course you have changed.
15:09I have not seen you since you were all of 15 years old.
15:13You were not so much older yourself.
15:19Hello.
15:20Rosa, I want you to meet Miss Colby, Billy.
15:24I almost said my fiancee.
15:26We haven't agreed on that yet.
15:28I am very happy to meet you.
15:31And this is Alkali, my foreman.
15:32Hello.
15:33Howdy.
15:34Alkali, will you get the carriage?
15:36Right.
15:37Coming up.
15:41Ain't she pretty, Roy?
15:42Don't know.
15:43I haven't had a good look at her yet.
15:44Stick around.
15:45I'll introduce you in a minute.
16:02You better call the sheriff, Bob.
16:15He's dead.
16:16Right.
16:22You can see Rosa now.
16:23Has anyone been up there?
16:25No one has talked with her or seen her except the doctor, Billy, and myself.
16:28But the doctor says she will be all right.
16:30Oh, sure, she'll be all right so long as she doesn't mind a bullet hole in her right arm.
16:34I suppose you're going to hold Rogers, eh?
16:37What charge would I hold him on?
16:39If I want him, he'll be up there at his oil well.
16:41I would not be too sure about that.
16:43I'll be responsible for him, but I won't for Rosa.
16:46If you take my advice, you'll send her away somewhere until I find out more about this.
16:51Carlos, I think you're wrong about Roy.
16:53That may be so.
16:54But, Billy, there is no longer a mystery about this.
16:57Somebody is after that oil.
16:59Yeah, they certainly are.
17:01I think it's a good idea to send Rosa away, eh?
17:06Carlos.
17:09There's one way to find out who's behind this.
17:11You're going ahead with that welcome home party for Rosa.
17:14But how? The doctor will not let her leave the room.
17:16But nobody else knows that.
17:18You're giving that party, and we're going to make them think I'm Rosa.
17:21Billy, no, you wouldn't, dear. I will not let you.
17:23And besides...
17:24You don't think I'd let a little thing like this stop me, do you?
17:28Carlos, you have just become my cousin.
17:36Carlos, you better send somebody out to bring in that driver.
17:39Where is he?
17:40Top of the mesa road with a bullet in his back.
17:43They wanted to make sure he wouldn't talk.
17:45Rosa, this is your own room.
17:47And I will unpack the grip a little later.
17:49I want you to take a good rest.
17:50Oh, that's my señorita. I am so glad you are home.
17:57Then you don't know who fired the shot.
17:59I couldn't tell. They got away in a car.
18:01I think we had better phone the sheriff.
18:03Sure, that's just what I was thinking of.
18:05Carlos, I found this on the body.
18:08Does it mean anything to you?
18:11It is a $50 credit from the goblin ship.
18:16Might have some connection, but this doesn't prove anything.
18:20I'm afraid you made a mistake bringing Rosa out here.
18:23Well, it was a plan to find out who was trying to kill her.
18:26We were going ahead with the welcome, the homecoming party,
18:29just as if nothing had happened.
18:31It's pretty dangerous business. I hope you know what you're doing.
18:33I promise you, she will be well guarded from now on.
18:37You'd better turn that over to the sheriff.
18:39We'll wait for him out on the road.
18:40He might be able to identify the body.
18:47Señor!
18:49Señor Rogers!
18:52Oh, como usted sabe mi nombre?
18:55In English, señor. I need the practice.
18:58I just wanted to know how you knew my name.
19:01Oh, that's right.
19:03Carlos, Carlos, my cousin told me.
19:06I want to thank you, señor, for saving me from those guys.
19:11I mean those hombres, uh?
19:12Oh, that's all right.
19:14You will come maybe to the party they give for me, no?
19:17I think that's a good idea.
19:19And you will bring your friends too, no?
19:22Sure, I'll even have them play for the party.
19:24Thank you. Gracias.
19:29Adios, cowboy.
19:31Adios, señorita.
19:33Now ain't that sweet.
19:36Boy, that Roger sure works fast.
19:40See you at the party, Carlos.
19:55At the wishing well, there is magic they say.
20:04For the poets tell how each dream comes your way.
20:11Make a wish at the wishing well.
20:24Have a street of gold or a cottage or two.
20:30Be discreet or bold, any dream will come true.
20:36Make a wish at the wishing well.
20:45The door to fortune is open to whatever you may aspire.
20:57Just drop a coin and watch the ripples.
21:03They'll bring back your heart's desire.
21:10At the wishing well, any beggar is king.
21:16Wrapped up in a dream.
21:18Akelai, what was you wishing for?
21:21Oh, I was wishing for the old days.
21:24You were so young, beautiful, and so slender.
21:33Why don't I keep my big mouth shut?
21:35Oh, shut.
22:06And you wish at the wishing well.
22:20That was fine, señor.
22:22It was very good, señor.
22:24Señor Roy, that was charming.
22:26Thanks, I did it especially for you.
22:28Noria de los de sales.
22:32I beg your pardon?
22:33Noria de los de sales?
22:36Wishing well.
22:37Oh, si.
22:39Well, that is one way to say it.
22:41Uh, señorita.
22:43Señor Roy, look, look at the dancers.
24:03Oh, Rosa can dance better than this girl.
24:23I think I will ask her.
24:25Rosa?
24:30I'm afraid she's a little out of practice, huh?
24:32The feet, they do not work here.
24:33No, no, no.
24:34Not now.
24:35Later.
24:36Well.
24:50Is your arm feeling better?
24:52Oh, it is still very painful.
24:54Almost so I can hardly move it.
24:56I tried to get Carlos to send you back to Mexico
25:00before somebody took another shot at you.
25:04And you worry about me?
25:06It isn't very safe here.
25:08Me, I'm afraid of nothing.
25:14You look for somebody?
25:16I wonder where Billy is.
25:18Billy?
25:19Yeah, the girl that runs the tugboat.
25:21The one that Carlos wants to marry.
25:24Oh, she should be here, shouldn't she?
25:27Maybe she and Carlos have a little argument.
25:32Señor Roy, you think this girl Billy
25:36will make my cousin Carlos a good wife, huh?
25:40He can have her.
25:42You do not seem to approve of her.
25:44She's all right if you like her tight.
25:48What's the matter with her tight?
25:50Well, if you must know, she's too hard to get along with.
25:53Snooty, nose in the air all the time.
25:57And that hair of hers is just about the color of Trigger's tail.
26:02Well, of all the crummy insults.
26:05I mean it, you Americano say.
26:24Oh, my God!
26:44Oh, señorita.
26:46What is it?
26:48You better let me in.
26:51Why?
26:53Because I have your hair.
27:13You're pretty smart, aren't you?
27:16I think you better tell me what the masquerade was for.
27:19Well, if you must know, I was only trying to help Carlos.
27:22He wanted to find out who took a shot at Rosa.
27:24That's fine, making a clay pigeon out of yourself.
27:27Oh, come now.
27:29Hey, you!
27:31What are you sneaking around up there for?
27:33Oh, keeping my eyes open in case of trouble.
27:36Just like Carlos told me.
27:37Come on down here and keep your eyes open.
27:39This is where the work is.
27:40Okay.
27:45You see that?
27:46Even he could have taken a shot at you.
27:48Pete?
27:49Oh, don't be silly.
27:51Pete or anybody.
27:53You can't trust any of them.
27:55There's a million dollar oil field at stake and they're not going to let anything stop them.
28:00Maybe I better get out of this.
28:02You better keep it on.
28:03If you want to help Carlos and Rosa, keep them from being killed,
28:06you put that wig back on and do as I say.
28:17My Rosa, she is dead!
28:19Alicia!
28:20Stay back!
28:46Rogers, I will kill you for this.
28:50Now hold on, Carlos.
28:51Let's find out about this.
28:53Who did it, Roy?
28:54I did.
28:55Roy!
28:56I didn't know what you did.
28:57Why?
28:58What did you kill her for?
28:59She caught me looking for the geologist report.
29:01Tell him how much oil there is on the land.
29:03We'll take care of him in our own way.
29:07Wait, hold it.
29:08Give me the guns.
29:11Lock him up in the wine cellar until we find out what has happened.
29:13Don't you worry, Roy.
29:14You'll get a fair trial.
29:15I'll go get the sheriff.
29:16Sheriff?
29:18You better lock him up too.
29:19He's as guilty as I am.
29:21You sure?
29:22I'm as guilty as he is.
29:23You too, Alkali?
29:24Me?
29:25What am I saying?
29:26Lock him up also.
29:27Carlos!
29:28Take him away.
29:29Don't touch me!
29:31I feel like I got another spell coming on.
29:41Shut that door.
29:42Lock it, quick.
29:46Rosa!
29:48Listen to me.
29:49She's not dead.
29:50She's not hurt.
29:51She's not Rosa!
29:52Please.
29:53Please.
29:54Carlos.
29:56All right, now suppose you do a little explaining.
29:58Carlos, this was for your own good.
29:59I can explain everything.
30:00Please.
30:11Hmm.
30:13Hmm.
30:14This 1911 went a little sour.
30:18Now, let's see.
30:19We have a little, uh...
30:21Uh...
30:31This 1895 really went bad.
30:35Still feel a little rocky, huh?
30:38Oh, sure, sir.
30:43It's no use, Alkali.
30:45The door's locked.
30:47It was kind of a mean trick pulling you in on this murder charge,
30:50but you were going to tell the sheriff, and...
30:53I didn't want him to know about it.
30:54At least not now, anyway.
30:56Besides, if I didn't have you along, I'd be down here talking to myself.
31:01All right, Roy.
31:03I guess I am a little stubborn.
31:05But there I was sticking up for you.
31:07Saying you didn't kill her.
31:09I didn't.
31:10Oh, what'd you confess for her?
31:11She isn't dead.
31:12I just wanted to make it look that way.
31:14So we could trap the real killers.
31:16If they think she's dead, we might be able to find out who they are
31:19and what their next move is.
31:21Roy, are you sure you didn't kill Rosa?
31:24Senor Rogers is telling me truth.
31:26I am very much alive.
31:28You can hear for yourself.
31:30Hurry up, Skipper.
31:31Get that hatch open.
31:32Oh, what do you think I'm trying to do?
31:34Play mumble pig?
31:35What are you doing?
31:36What are you doing here?
31:37Roy, here are the guns.
31:38I am sorry I had to take them away.
31:40But I had to make it seem real.
31:42Thanks, Carlos.
31:43Any new developments?
31:44No.
31:45Gee, I'd better not go until it gets dark.
31:47Shh.
31:50Get over there.
31:56That's it.
31:57See?
31:58Any time now.
31:59Roy.
32:00Roy.
32:01Roy.
32:03Roy.
32:04Well, any time you want to find a white cellar,
32:07just follow your nose.
32:08Well, there's no guard here.
32:10Yeah, but there may be one inside.
32:13We'll do just like we planned.
32:15Batter down the door.
32:16Take them by surprise.
32:17And remember, we go on the count of three.
32:31It's the pioneers.
32:34And when it got dark, I followed Roy and Agalai to a cave down by the beach.
32:57We've got to get smart about this.
32:59There's one little detail missing.
33:01Nobody seems to have notified the sheriff.
33:03That's right.
33:04But everybody was excited.
33:05I know.
33:06Always give the other fella credit, Pete.
33:08Rogers might have an angle.
33:09Now, look.
33:10You go tell the sheriff what happened and ride out there with him.
33:14And when you're sure what's happened to Rosa, come back here at the usual time.
33:23Right.
33:28There's nothing like coffee in the mornin' to start the day on right.
33:38No, there's nothing like coffee in the mornin' and nothing like kisses at night.
33:45There's nothing like bacon in the makin' when daylight's gettin' bright.
33:52No, there's nothing like bacon when you're wakin' and nothing like kisses at night.
34:00Seems kind of strange how a few short hours can change your perspective.
34:08Just rearrange your point of view.
34:13What appeals to you?
34:15There's nothing like coffee in the mornin'.
34:19It hits the spot all right.
34:22No, there's nothing like coffee in the mornin' and nothing like kisses at night.
34:30Underneath the moon, all you want to do is coo like a kitten.
34:38Sun rises soon, and then you'll find Java's on your mind.
34:46There's nothing like coffee in the mornin' to make the world look bright.
34:53Give me plenty of coffee in the mornin'.
34:57At night I've been doin' all right.
35:02Come and get it!
35:05So hungry I can feel a backbone.
35:14Hey, you landlubbers, come on, get anchored. Let's take on a little bowers.
35:17Let's chow in any language.
35:19You'll be lucky if Alkali doesn't eat plates and all.
35:21Well, if that all matters, Billy, just help yourself.
35:23Yeah, I see what you mean.
35:25Hey, boys.
35:31Over here, Alkali.
35:41It's the sheriff.
35:42Yes, and he's got Pete with him.
35:44No, no, boys, in the hatch, quick.
36:10Hello, Sheriff.
36:11Hello.
36:12What do you know about the goings-on at the Vega Rancho?
36:15Me?
36:16I don't know anything about it.
36:18We've been looking for Rogers in the caves.
36:20He's wanted for murder.
36:22Murder?
36:23Yes, murder.
36:24Around here?
36:25Listen, you'd have heard me scream plenty.
36:27Any guy that'll push a girl in the water is liable to do anything.
36:31He's a dangerous man.
36:32I can see it in his eyes.
36:34Shows you never can tell.
36:36He didn't seem like a man who would shoot down a woman in cold blood.
36:39Isn't that awful?
36:48Say, you sure eat a lot.
36:50Oh, me, yeah.
36:51I have an awful appetite.
36:52I guess it's this ocean air.
36:54Sheriff, how was she murdered?
36:56Where was she shot?
36:57That's what I'm going to find out.
36:59I'm going up there now and have a look at the body.
37:03Body?
37:04Listen, Sheriff, why don't you stop by Roy's oil well?
37:07He may be hiding out around there.
37:09It isn't much out of your way and it won't take you much longer.
37:12He's dangerous.
37:13He's a killer.
37:14I wouldn't let him be at large.
37:15That's a good idea.
37:17Come on, Pete.
37:18Yeah.
37:35Come on, boys.
37:38You hear that, Roy?
37:39That squealer Pete must be one of the men we're after.
37:42That's a good joke on the Sheriff.
37:44Riding all the way up there and he ain't going to find the body.
37:47Roy, I think we'd better follow Pete.
37:49We'll follow him.
37:50But after he finds the body.
37:51But, Roy, I just said...
37:53We've got to beat the Sheriff to the hacienda.
37:55We'll see you later, Billy.
38:23Keep working.
38:43Now, remember what I told you.
38:45Si, senor.
38:46Hurry up.
38:53Yes?
38:54Sheriff Mason.
38:55Yes.
38:56Who's that?
38:57My poor little Rosa.
38:59You were right, Pete.
39:00Let's take a look.
39:02Yeah.
39:03No, no, no, no, not you.
39:04You go do your work.
39:05Come on, the bad boys.
39:15Just a minute, Sheriff.
39:16I want to talk to you.
39:19And I want to talk to you.
39:22Come on.
39:31Well, I guess that clears you, Rogers.
39:34But I don't see why you didn't handle all this through my office.
39:37That's easy.
39:38We didn't know who we could trust.
39:40What?
39:41I've a good mind to run you in for a rebuttal.
39:43I mean, I mean, Roy.
39:44We'll have a spell.
39:45Senor Roy.
39:46Senor Roy.
39:47Senor Roy, I was watched like you tell me
39:49that Pete was riding towards town.
39:51We better pick him up and question him.
39:52Yeah.
40:21Come on.
40:22Come on.
40:51He told me to meet him tonight at the usual time.
41:05Wait.
41:06Let's see what he's doing.
41:08See you later.
41:09Oh, don't forget, save me a seat on that 8 o'clock boat, will you?
41:158 o'clock.
41:16I'd sure like to know who he's going to meet on that boat.
41:19We'll follow him and find out.
41:21Uh-uh.
41:22That ship's on the high seas.
41:23That's out of my jurisdiction.
41:25Well, it isn't out of mine.
41:26We'll trail him for you if you want to trust us.
41:29Well, in this case, I guess I'll have to.
41:33Good.
41:34Alkali, round up the pioneers and meet them at the caves tonight.
41:36I'll keep an eye on him until then.
41:38Sure, Roy.
41:49Come on.
42:19It's 8 o'clock.
42:38Yeah.
42:39It may be just a coincidence, but let's go in.
42:42I'll get you in.
42:44I'll show you how I did it for Dewey in the Battle of Manila.
42:4750 years ago, huh?
42:49I got the Dewey young.
42:50Light about my age.
43:09Watch those windows.
43:37Alkali, we've got it.
44:02IOU signed by Carlos Vega.
44:04$20,000.
44:06$4,000.
44:08$15,500.
44:17It all ties up, Alkali.
44:19They let him run up a gambling debt so they could force him to sell out oil.
44:22Yeah, but only a loser wouldn't sell.
44:31Well, you're on time.
44:33Yeah, I brought you some good news.
44:35Good. Come on into the office.
44:55Roger.
45:24Wait a minute, wait a minute.
45:55What are you doing with that door?
46:16Hey!
46:32Alkali, you all right?
46:33Sure.
46:35The Neville lady hailed on me.
46:37Well, then somebody better watch that referee.
46:39Come on, let's get out of here.
46:45Get going, do it!
46:51Hey!
46:52Hey, somebody stop him!
47:15We were too late, boss.
47:16All right, get him out.
47:17No, not you.
47:18Okay, boys, outside.
47:19Come on, back to your tables.
47:20Back to work.
47:23You sure messed this up.
47:26Well, gentlemen, there's $147,000 worth of IOUs missing.
47:33That means we pay a little visit to Carlos.
47:35I can't go back to that ranch now.
47:38When do we get the rest of my money?
47:40Don't worry, Pete.
47:42He'll get it.
48:03I told you they were playing for keeps.
48:05Poor Pete.
48:06Poor us.
48:08Sure could have used him as a witness.
48:12Well, there's nothing on him.
48:15I've been trying to get something on that re-Calhoun for a long time
48:18so I could clean up that gambling boat.
48:21But he'll probably wiggle out of this one, too.
48:24He talks fast, and he's got a smart lawyer.
48:27I wasn't going to mention any, Sheriff.
48:28I was going to give him back to Carlos.
48:30But since it turned out the way it did, maybe you can use him against Calhoun.
48:33They're IOUs.
48:35Why, that matinee caballero.
48:38Almost getting Rosa and me killed over a gambling debt.
48:41I wouldn't blame Carlos too much.
48:43They went after him deliberately and framed him so he'd lose.
48:46It's the oil on Carlos' land, Sheriff.
48:48They're trying to get him to sell the rights to it.
48:50So Carlos has been holding out on us.
48:53We'd better talk to him.
48:54I think it's a pretty good idea.
48:57Hey, wait a minute.
48:58Who's going to watch this body?
48:59That'll be your job, Billy.
49:01Me?
49:03We'd better stay out of this.
49:04There might be some shooting.
49:20Look, you don't think you're going to take over this ranch for $147,000.
49:24You've got me all wrong, Carlos.
49:25I don't want the ranch.
49:26I just want the oil rights.
49:27The oil rights?
49:28Then you are the one who has been trying to kill Rosa.
49:33Rosa, get the Sheriff.
49:37Sheriff won't do you any good where you're going, Carlos.
49:40So that's the way it is.
49:42Well, we'll stretch him out a little bit and see if he can change your mind.
49:46Put him in the car.
50:03Get in the car.
50:33Get in the car.
51:03Come on, get in.
51:33Get in the car.
52:04Get in the car.
52:27Well, we can still make it.
52:29You stay here with me.
52:30Help me hold them off until they get the boats in the water.
52:33Take him with you.
52:34We'll cover you.
52:48All right, get going.
53:00Come on.
53:30Come on.
54:00Come on.
54:01Come on.
54:30Come on.
54:31Come on.
54:32Come on.
54:33Come on.
54:34Come on.
54:35Come on.
54:36Come on.
54:37Come on.
54:38Come on.
54:39Come on.
54:40Come on.
54:41Come on.
54:42Come on.
54:43Come on.
54:44Come on.
54:45Come on.
54:46Come on.
54:47Come on.
54:48Come on.
54:49Come on.
54:50Come on.
54:51Come on.
54:52Come on.
54:53Come on.
54:54Come on.
54:55Come on.
54:56Come on.
54:57Come on.
54:58Come on.
55:00Come on.
55:17I think it is my arm, Sheriff.
55:19Well, we better look at it, see if we can't fix you up.
55:21I am going to need it.
55:23Rosa and I are going to the Ulby this week.
55:25Then you're righteous.
