01:00♪♪
01:21Oh well, this is just another one of those things.
01:51Why, Marge, what do you mean?
01:55These places are all alike.
01:58Listen, Fred, I can get more excitement in one day
02:01on my Montana ranch than you can show me in a week here.
02:05Well, now, Marge, this is a very large city,
02:08and something exciting might happen any moment.
02:11Well, it'll have to happen pretty soon.
02:13I'm going home in the morning.
02:28You wait right here, Ben.
02:30I won't be long.
02:32Don't you want me to go with you, Mr. Bob?
02:34You might get in trouble.
02:36That's a pretty tough joint.
02:39Oh, that's all right.
02:40I like them tough.
03:10Excuse me.
03:20Fred?
03:21Excuse me.
03:26Tony.
03:28Yeah?
03:30Same thing, Mr. Lansing?
03:32Oh, give me something cold, Joe.
03:34Okay.
03:46Who are the 12?
03:48Oh, one of them slumming parties, I guess.
03:57If I had a cute little girl like that,
03:59I wouldn't bring her down here.
04:01You're right.
04:02This is no place for them kind.
04:06Now, be sure you get the toughest mug in the joint.
04:13I'll get Blinky.
04:14For the right kind of dough, he'll be plenty tough.
04:17And tell him to put it on strong.
04:20My lady friend craves excitement.
04:50Blinky, come here.
05:10See that table over there on the corner?
05:14Yeah.
05:19All you've got to do is do what I told you to do, see?
05:29Hello, Bevels.
05:31Hey, you're drunk.
05:32Get out of here.
05:34Go on, peddle your apples, Kiki.
05:35Why am I talking to you?
05:38Hey, baby, let's blow these guys and go play.
05:45Can't you take care of the young lady?
05:47Hey, what business is it of yours?
05:51May I take you out of here, miss?
05:53This is no place for a lady.
06:11Let me go.
06:14Let me go.
06:22Now if you're a lady, you'll go on home.
06:29Goodbye, lady.
06:52I don't suppose you realize that I am up for re-election.
07:21And this scandal will cost me thousands of votes.
07:28But really, Dad, I couldn't help it.
07:31Young man, you're going to leave for the West at once.
07:36Where both you boys were brought up.
07:39And I don't want to see you until after the election.
07:42And if you get into any further trouble, I'll disown you.
07:47Do you understand?
07:49Can I go along with Mr. Bob?
07:51I'll say you'll go along.
07:53And I don't want to see either of you for the next two months.
07:57Bob, I'm sorry, but I can't take chances.
08:02You know politics.
08:11It's all right, Dad.
08:13I understand.
09:05No rest for the wicked, Ben.
09:19It'll only take me a minute to change it, Mr. Bob.
09:23How many times do I have to tell you to cut the mister?
09:27It's plain Bob.
09:29We're just a couple of boys trying to get along in the great open spaces.
09:33You okay with me, Bob?
10:34Take him up there.
10:36Reach for the sky.
10:41Sorry, man, but we've got a heavy day to cross the state line.
10:46We'll take your car, and you can have our horse.
10:48Well, wait a minute.
10:49Get back there and shut your mouth.
10:51Well, we got to have our bag.
10:52Never mind the bag.
10:59You better be careful of them horses.
11:01They're pretty well spent.
11:04So long.
11:10Well, it looks like we've struck more trouble.
11:13Struck it?
11:14We're right in the middle of it.
11:19Well, anyway, I'm glad those robbers left us transportation.
11:24I wish we'd have brought some of your polar horses along,
11:26instead of having to ride them things.
11:54Hey, looks like the old swimming hole.
12:13What do you say we dive in and take off some of this real estate in Greece?
12:18You're on.
12:19Let's go.
12:38Gee, I'd sure like to get my hands on them fellas that stole our horses.
12:42Oh, it was all your fault.
12:44You had an order going to sleep.
12:46It was upon your own ears, weren't you?
12:49Well, I had a right to.
12:50I was tired.
12:52Oh, that's bullshit.
12:59Rowdy down, boys.
13:03Whoopsie.
13:05Rowdy down, boys.
13:07Rowdy down.
13:22There's our horses.
13:24Come on, let's get them.
13:37Here's where we get even with those low-down horse thieves.
13:42Rowdy.
13:44The life of a merriment.
13:46Rowdy.
13:48Rowdy.
14:07Hey, where's all my clothes?
14:13They're going to our transportation.
14:37No cars, no horses, no clothes, no money.
14:43Now what are we going to do?
14:45Maybe we'll get a job as a couple of lifesavers.
14:55Hey.
15:07Would you give us a lift?
15:09We're just a couple of horseless cowboys looking for a job.
15:14Sure.
15:15Hop in.
15:16I'm going to the Bar O.
15:18Maybe you can get your jobs there.
15:20The boss needs some more hands for the roundup.
15:24Hey.
15:25Hey.
15:26Hey.
15:27Hey.
15:28Hey.
15:29Hey.
15:30Hey.
15:31Hey.
15:32Hey.
15:33Hey.
15:34Hey.
15:36Thank you, lady.
15:38Would you mind turning your head a little bit?
15:40What's the idea of me turning my head?
15:43Well, you see, our clothes are in pretty bad shape.
15:47Yeah.
15:48We got wet, and they trucked on us a little bit.
15:51Well, come ahead.
15:52I ain't looking.
15:59Stop!
16:00Get up.
16:05Now what are we going to do?
16:22Walk.
16:28My dogs are sure burning up.
16:30Would you quit your crabbing?
16:32You wanted to come out west, didn't you?
17:02Then?
18:03I sure feel better now.
18:09I'll tell you what we'll do.
18:11We'll hike to a town where there's a telegraph station,
18:15and I'll wire Dad for some more dough.
18:19That's about the best idea that you've had today.
18:24And the first thing we do when I get it
18:28is to come right back here and square it with the guy that owns these clothes.
18:34Fair enough.
18:58Woo!
19:21Woo!
19:28I just had the scare of my life.
19:37Well, what happened there, Ma?
19:39Two men jumped out at me from behind a bush.
19:43Did they try to kidnap you?
19:45Did they?
19:46But I whooped up my horses and was gone quicker than a hog can run.
19:50I tell you, they can't get ahead of me.
19:59Frank, I spotted some rufflers over there.
20:02Where abouts?
20:03The South Canyon.
20:07Come on, boys!
20:22Miss Marge, there's some rufflers in the South Canyon, and we're going after them.
20:27Now be careful, boys.
20:29Oh, we'll be all right.
20:44Oh, I don't think I'll ever get over it.
20:47Well, never mind, Emma.
20:49Well, I'll do my best.
20:58Hey, Jim, I'll be on the lookout.
21:01And if I see any of the boys from the borough, I'll give you the usual signal.
21:04Okay, Nick.
21:16Hey, there's our horses.
21:20Hey!
21:22We want our horses and our clothes.
21:25What do you mean?
21:26What chance have you got of getting your clothes?
21:28What's the matter with you horses?
21:30Oh, he's a big boy.
21:32Look out!
21:33Oh, my clothes!
21:50Quick!
22:03Come on, boys! Beat it!
22:20Now what?
22:22I'm afraid to think...
22:28Stop there, boys!
22:30We've got cadets to the right.
22:32Well, what's the matter?
22:36Changing a brand, huh?
22:38Well, we caught you with our goods this time.
22:41Well, we just got here.
22:43Somebody stole their car and left us horses.
22:46And they stole their horses and their clothes.
22:48And we just...
22:49Tell it to the sheriff.
22:53Time up, boys.
22:55Well, you got us all wrong, mister.
23:13What's the trouble, Frank?
23:15We just caught a couple of rustlers.
23:18Come on, boys. Move them along.
23:45Come on, boys.
23:47Come on, boys.
23:49Take care of these armories while I go see the boss.
24:20We caught two of them rustlers, Miss Holt.
24:29You men are all wrong about this.
24:31Keep quiet, Ben.
24:33No use to talk to those ginks.
24:39Well, what are you going to do with them?
24:41Why, turn them over to the sheriff.
24:50No, don't do that now. Wait for me.
24:53I'll be over at the barn in about five minutes.
24:57Well, you're the boss.
25:05Them's the two men that jumped out at me.
25:08And they didn't have no clothes on, neither.
25:11I know one of them.
25:13And I'm going to put the scare of his life into his head.
25:16He's the fellow that spoiled my last night in the big city.
25:19Remember what I told you?
25:21Bet I do.
25:36Well, I can explain this if you'll give me a chance.
25:39Quiet down. I ain't even listening.
25:43Well, my lady, what are you doing with that get-up on?
25:49I don't want him to know who I am just yet.
25:53Oh, I get you.
25:57Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
26:00I'm going to tell him who I am.
26:03I'm going to tell him who I am.
26:06I'm going to tell him who I am.
26:09I'm going to tell him who I am.
26:11I'm going to tell him who I am.
26:17Now, there's the smart girl.
26:20Here's them two rustlers, miss.
26:28So, you're the thief that's been stealing my cattle.
26:32But, ladies, we're innocent.
26:35First, we had our automobiles stolen.
26:38And then our horses and our clothes.
26:40You weren't an awful thief.
26:42Tell it to the sheriff.
26:44You were caught with the goods, weren't you?
26:48Yes.
26:49Well, you know what that means in these parts.
26:53But we didn't steal any of your cattle.
26:56Now, you talk, miss.
26:58I'll turn him over to the sheriff.
27:03No, don't be in a hurry.
27:05Get a little work out of him first.
27:08Get going, cowboys.
27:28Hold on there.
27:33Get busy and clean up this stable.
27:37Oh, listen, we're not used to that kind of work.
27:40You heard what I said, didn't you?
27:42Grab yourself a couple of tools there.
28:08Never mind washing the dishes, Emma.
28:10I have a better idea.
28:14Okay.
28:15Yes, miss Lodge.
28:17Bring those men over here.
28:20Come on, get going.
28:23The boss wants to see you.
28:27Come on, let's go.
28:29Come on, let's go.
28:32Come on, let's go.
28:34Come on, let's go.
28:37Come on, let's go.
28:43Come on.
28:56Wash those dishes.
29:03Well, miss, you don't understand.
29:06You heard what the lady said, didn't you?
29:09Make it snappy.
29:30Here's your dishwater.
30:07Well, lady, don't you remember me?
30:10I met you in the city.
30:13How dare you speak to me like that?
30:17Wait, Frank, lock these two men up for the night.
30:20Put one of them in the barn and the other one in the shed.
30:25Come on, you.
30:30Come on, Frank.
30:32Come on, you.
30:36Get going.
30:52Come on, let's go.
31:02Come on.
31:22Hey, hello.
31:25Come here a minute.
31:28You know those two nuts that butted in
31:30while you boys were branding those calves over there?
31:33Yeah. What about them?
31:35Well, the boys from the Barrow Ranch
31:37picked them up for a couple of rustlers.
31:39What did they do with them?
31:41Well, they locked them up for the night over at the ranch.
31:46Say, that gives me a great idea.
31:48What do you mean?
31:50Now, listen.
31:52As long as they're putting the blame on them,
31:55we'll cash in on it.
32:13Hey, buddy. Come here a minute.
32:19I haven't taken this thing over.
32:21You fellas are getting a terrible deal.
32:23I'll say we are.
32:25Now, listen. The foreman and the rest of the bunch are out for blood.
32:28If they're going to hang you, this is sure shooting.
32:35I guess we're in for it, all right.
32:37I feel a little sorry for you myself.
32:39That's the reason I want to help you out of this mess.
32:41Really?
32:43Yeah. Listen, there's a couple of horses down at the corral,
32:45and there's food on the saddle.
32:47So you get this part of yours and beat it pronto.
32:50Gee, pal. I sure appreciate that.
32:52Now, wait a minute about that part of yours.
32:54I wouldn't say too much about it.
32:56He acts kind of hard-headed.
32:58Now, here's the key.
33:00And you two get going.
33:02Thanks.
33:18Come on, Bob. The coast is clear.
33:22What happened, Ben?
33:24Never mind. I'll tell you all about it when we're on our way.
33:31Come on.
33:51Come on.
33:53Come on.
33:55Come on.
34:20Now I'm going to find out who our rustler friends really are.
34:25What you're going to do with them.
34:28First, I'm going to bawl them out some more.
34:31And then I'm going to get big-hearted and let them go.
34:34Well, Mr. Rustler, you've got an early day for the sheriff.
35:05He's gone.
35:18They're both gone.
35:20Now, ain't that a shame?
35:23Yes, it is.
35:25I wish I could see him again and tell him I was only pretending.
35:30I wish I could see him again and tell him I was only pretending.
35:37But now I'll never find out who he was.
35:46Oh, Frank.
35:53I just got back from the East Corral.
35:55And there's some more of our stock missing.
35:58Are you sure of that?
36:00Absolutely. I just checked it over myself.
36:04The prisoners are gone.
36:06That's no surprise to me.
36:08Dick just found out there's some more cattle missing.
36:11Why, I simply can't believe it of those boys.
36:14Well, the only way we can find out is to catch them.
36:17I got plenty of rope over here to string them up with, too.
36:20We won't take any chances with them.
36:23We'll ask questions afterwards.
36:25Wait till we catch them. We'll have a lot of fun out of them, too.
36:28I'm going with you.
36:30Come on, let's go.
36:56I don't see anything for you to be happy about.
36:59I do.
37:01Pretty soon we're going to cross the border.
37:04You're going to wire that for some money.
37:06Ain't that enough to make anybody happy?
37:08Listen, we're not going to cross the border.
37:12What's the idea?
37:14We're not going to cross the border.
37:17We're not going to cross the border.
37:20We're not going to cross the border.
37:23What's the idea?
37:27I feel like a dirty skunk running out on that little girl.
37:32You in love with her?
37:34That cowboy told me she's a pretty tough hombre.
37:37Listen, Ben, I know who she is.
37:41She didn't fool me.
37:43That's the girl I had the trouble with in the dive that night.
37:46Sure enough?
37:47Sure enough.
37:49And I'm not going to leave.
37:51I'm going to go back and tell her we're not wrestlers.
37:53Great.
37:54You tell her that you're the son of Senator Lansing,
37:57and then everything will be hot potassi.
38:00That's just what I won't do.
38:02If Dad found out I was in trouble again, it would break his heart.
38:06Well, what are you going to do?
38:09We're going back and help her clear up this wrestling business.
38:14Well, Bob, I'll just as soon hang with you as anybody else I know of.
38:22Boys, I think we ought to scatter out here and all meet at the south corner fence.
38:26All right.
38:28Miss Marge, do you want to go with me?
38:32No, I think I'll go on alone.
38:34All right.
38:51All right.
39:51Get in there.
40:22Hup!
40:41Why, those are the men that stole our horses.
40:45You're right, Bob.
40:47And I'll bet they're stealing them cattle.
41:17Hup, hup, hup.
41:35Hup.
41:37Hup.
41:39Hup.
41:47Hup.
41:57Hup.
42:17Hup.
42:25We've got the rest of them cattle in the corrals.
42:28All right.
42:40Looks like we're heading for some excitement.
42:43Now, don't be silly. Let's beat it.
42:46Why, you're willing to hang with me, aren't you?
42:50Oh, I guess so.
43:03That's the borrowed brand.
43:06Well, what are you going to do now?
43:09Now we're going to find out just who those rustlers are.
43:13Now, you watch me, and whatever I do or say, follow my lead.
43:18Don't worry, Bob. I'll follow you all the way.
43:38Come in.
43:48Come in.
43:57Howdy, fellas.
43:59Well, what do you want?
44:05First, we want to be sociable.
44:07Second, we came to collect.
44:10I understand the sociable.
44:13But I don't quite get to collect.
44:17Now, listen, partner.
44:20You've been a rustler on the borrowed old stuff, and we get the blame.
44:24And you ask me what I mean by collect.
44:28Now, here's the whole thing in a nutshell.
44:31My partner and I are a couple of boys from the city.
44:34And we're trying to hide out.
44:37And we want to put this rustling game on a paying basis.
45:04All right.
45:35Excuse me, miss.
45:40The boss wants to see you inside.
45:43But I was just riding by.
45:45Never mind. Come on in.
46:05Now that I've found you, rustler, what are you going to do with me?
46:09Not so fast, miss Holt.
46:11First, I want you to meet my partner.
46:13Yeah.
46:15And you're going to stick right with us until we've crossed the border.
46:18So, I'm supposed to be your prisoner
46:21until you make your getaway with my cattle?
46:24You got it right the first time.
46:26Now, don't be a sap, partner.
46:28I'll show you how to play this racket right.
46:31This is our chance to clean up in a big way.
46:39Give me a pencil.
46:50Boy, that's slick.
46:54Here, miss Holt. Sign this.
46:57Here, miss Holt. Sign this.
47:17I suppose I refuse to sign it.
47:21Take a look around and use your own judgment.
47:25Vic!
47:27Can't you help me out of this?
47:30Well, I'd advise you to sign it.
47:34See? Even your own top hand is with it.
47:55Here, Ben.
47:57Take this to the ranch and don't come back without the dough.
48:00Leave it to me, Bob.
48:02Just a minute.
48:04We'll let Dick pack the notes.
48:06Ben can go with him.
48:10Sure. Have it your own way.
48:13Just so he brings back the money.
48:17Might as well take it easy, miss Holt.
48:20You'll be here for a long time.
48:25I'll be back.
48:27Thanks, Bob.
48:29Be safe.
48:31Take care of yourself.
48:34You too.
48:36You might as well take it easy, Miss Holtz, you'll be here for a long time.
48:53Hey, Dick.
49:06Look.
49:52You seen anything of them, boys?
49:57Not a thing.
49:58Well, we'll wait here for Miss Holtz.
50:00All right.
50:08Bob has a bunch of rustlers captured down in the cabin, and Miss Holtz with him.
50:14Oh, yeah?
50:15Now I'll tell one.
50:18Well, listen.
50:19I've got a note for Miss Holtz.
50:25Honest, I have.
50:28The more your tricks, you can't fool me.
50:32Say, listen.
50:33This is serious.
50:34They're down there in trouble and need help.
50:37Never mind.
50:38I'm going to take you to the sheriff.
50:40Come on.
50:49Here it is.
50:57It's Miss Holtz riding, boys.
50:59Let's be going.
51:29Might as well take a hand in our game, Miss Holtz, while you wait.
51:53Two.
51:54Three.
51:55Four.
51:56Five.
51:57Six.

52:01Ten.
52:02Eleven.

52:04Thirteen.
52:05Fourteen.
52:06Fifteen.
52:07He's a double-crosser.
52:09He's a double-crosser.
52:10His friend knocked me out and took the note away from me.
52:19What are we going to do?
52:20Get on your hands and get away quick.
52:28Come on.
52:29Get on.
52:30Get back.
52:35We don't dare let that girl get away.
52:42Let's go.
52:53Come on.
53:04Come on.
53:32Come on.
54:03Come on.
54:09Come on.
54:22Come on, boys.
54:47Get to them, boys.
54:58Come on, boys.
54:59Get to them.
55:03Come on.
55:04Pick them up there.
55:10Come on.
55:11Line up there.
55:14Search them, boys.
55:20Come on.
55:21Get on those horses.
55:32Now that we've caught those rustlers, Miss Holt,
55:35I'm going back home where there isn't so much excitement.
55:44You're not going to leave me, are you?
55:54No, I'm not.
