03:30Hello, Tom.
03:31What is it?
03:33Arrest or a holdup?
03:34Diane, we're looking for a fellow on the Calico Bronc
03:37that stepped up the stage over on Margo's trail.
03:40Seen anything of him?
03:42Yeah.
03:43He went into the trees just about where you came out.
03:46Didn't see him.
03:48I heard something through their bush.
03:50I thought I jumped a deer.
03:52Come on, we still can catch him if he's around.
04:04♪♪
04:09♪ Oh, he was a storybook cowboy, so handsome, graceful, and bold.
04:16♪ And she was an innocent maiden with tresses all fluffy and gold.
04:46Nice work, baby.
05:16Come on.
05:47Say, he must have headed for your place, Tom.
05:49There's nowhere else he could get under cover.
05:51I hope he didn't.
05:53Nobody there but those Leandros, and he's more than likely asleep.

07:42a. Man on
07:55a horse came here not over ten minutes ago now where is he no time no no sheriff
08:00they ain't been nobody here all right I've seen them you want me no account the
08:05place could be overrun with bandits and wrestlers for all the good you are not
08:08a look for a couple of all sorts of artists yet.
08:32I suppose this number got away with the express box no that's the funny part of
08:37it it didn't bother the box of the mail. Maybe he's up there saying maybe he is.
08:54You see this road agent made all of his passengers get down on the road and all he
08:58took was
08:59a canvas bag long to a cattle bar for the name of Greece that's funny but I must
09:05have had
09:06a tip. How much does this follow Greece and say he lost all somewhere in the
09:10neighborhood of ten thousand dollars. Not a soul to house judge or sign of anybody
09:16being there.
10:35They share I've got
10:48a hunch I'll take a look over in that dry gulch beyond the ranch I do I get your
10:53horses man we'll see if we can pick up the trail again.
10:55That's on that yet.
11:04Are you sure you didn't meet that fellow Tom coming from the way you did I don't
11:08see I could help but make honest yet I didn't meet us so you're not thinking I'm
11:13hiding a bandit do you know I looked up your record before you came here from
11:18Wyoming and I found out that you were mixed up with three wrestling outfits up
11:22north never heard about my being arrested with any of them did you know it seemed
11:27like every time a gang was rounded up you always seem to have
11:29a perfect alibi but I'm giving you
11:31a fair warning your alibis won't go on my territory.
11:53So she fell for the law at the step in there Jen and followed him meekly wherever
11:58he went though we hadn't a job and he hadn't this and this story for cowboys so
12:04gay this story for cowboys so gay so she fell for the law of this
12:10deafening I never mind what you fell for did you get the stuff sure did it's in the
12:14barn good and followed him meekly wherever he went.
12:22But.
12:30What's up Gerard your horse looks like you've been burning leather stuck up the
12:33stage and got the payoff money from the last heard Rob Gleason at ten thousand
12:38dollars by the boss of oil over at that loss. It ain't lost yet I know who got it
12:45you know. If Gleason lost the money that is hard luck but if I find it.
12:52Why tell the world what do you mean come on get on your horses I'll tell you as we
12:56go.
13:13And three more. Ten thousand one correct gosh what
13:17a haul for a couple of hours work a couple of hours work but
13:21a couple of months of planning. And the job isn't half finished yet. Now the next
13:27move is to find out who all this money was going to. Saddle up brought up.
13:51To.

15:48a cattle detective. That's right man I represent
15:54the cattlemen's protective association.
15:55I knew the money was
16:06scaring was paper stolen cattle and I figured if I took it it would bring you
16:10restless out from undercover seems to have worked. So I let him have it wait
16:15a minute. Listen try and I'll give you just ten seconds to tell us where you've
16:21been that money.

20:12He got that money and he couldn't have taken it with him then it must be back at
20:16the ranch.
20:25I. See
20:46what you can learn inside when you get me I had a couple of guns I feel kind of
20:50impressed yes but don't be too long.
20:58Funny bandit who's one that's going to let the rest go yeah he made
21:03a clean get away and the law was right on his heel.
21:05And. Hey.
21:19Well the old smooch give me

22:30Hey. All right I want you.
22:38To know. All he was
22:43a storybook cowboy so handsome graceful and bold and she was
22:48an innocent maiden with tresses all fluffy and gold she fell for the
22:55lord of this heaven and hell and followed him wherever he went though he hadn't
23:02had. This story.
23:09This story.
23:13Only for this innocent maiden for the parts he never did come.
23:21And she knows that it was.
23:23Dumb.
23:30Oh so dumb.
23:35And.
23:41This story.
23:46This story.
23:47I was okay.
23:53For the parts he never did come.
23:58And she knows that it was.
24:05Dumb.
24:18Well it doesn't speak well for your maintenance of law that I could be robbed on
24:21the public highway is that so now you listen to me please no one but
24:26a sap tenderfoot would go around carrying that much cold cash on him in this
24:30country all right but you must admit that the thief slipped through your hands and
24:34you haven't
24:35a clue to his identity who says I haven't you and I went off half cocked you to
24:40found out that I'm going to question the man tomorrow who knows more than he's
24:43told. Who is the man Tom way better known as Cheyenne
24:50Tommy rancher and next cattle feed being still in the same business speaking of
24:56the devil a share.
25:02I presume this is Mr Gleason who lost his money in the hold up your presuments Mr
25:06Gleason why did you ever seen before no not that I remember guess it was him from
25:12the way he's rigged out well you guess right reason Cheyenne Tommy now wait suppose
25:18you tell us what you know why should I I don't see any rewards posted for the
25:23bandit or the money suppose there is
25:25a reward when you talk well I'll listen to reason. I'll run in for
25:32compounding
25:32a felony would you mind leaving I want to talk to this man.
25:43See you have
25:44a fair chance to know Mr Gleason right. Now that
25:51blast your hide you come clean. Don't try.
26:01Cattleman's protective associate well I'll be
26:04a bowlegged healy. So
26:11that's how they got that gang of wrestlers that night yeah and we hope to get the
26:16gang that's wearing you. Listen Jed here's my plan.
26:27This man way the sheriff suspects him but he can't prove anything well what are you
26:32going to do I'm going to bring Roland to Wade's ranch and if Cheyenne knows
26:36anything about the money the chief will know how to make him talk.
26:48You know you were so long I just had to take
26:51a little break. I think you've had enough you better go to sleep at all.
26:56You know you think you're shopping you just wait
27:01a minute or I want to have this little. Big guys always get my.
27:08Why I think I can take him right. I better wait.
27:14I get out of the way so to pop I think you'll be had enough of both of us he's got
27:20a pretty good start.
27:27And.
27:37I've been with me. And it's very good.
27:40All.
27:55That I'm not going to see you with me I'm supposed to be
27:58a stranger in these parts.
28:10And.
28:15I don't. See the sheriff didn't lock you up. That's
28:21a reason sheriff's been trying to lock me up for
28:24a long time but I don't have any luck. How about that reward the money doesn't
28:30belong to me but I can introduce you to the man that owns it. He doesn't know that
28:35now until I meet my turn. Where is he and you couldn't find him so I'll bring him
28:41to your place tonight. But don't keep me waiting I might decide to keep the whole
28:48role myself.
28:57I want to watch where you're going I wasn't going anywhere and it was you all right
29:02then watch where I'm going.
29:06I want to go and he's not going anywhere he's going out.
29:13Already.
29:25You're doing all right he's OK. I'm just first thing.
29:29For. I'll go and get around you stay here until the other boys come in.
30:59And.
31:06Oh hello Mr Allen I was just going to write you
31:09a letter. Go ahead finish it I like to get letters
31:16Sally. Now that you're here I can tell you. I want to quit my job.
31:22Now. What's the problem I was recommended to you
31:29because I know all the cow outfits and cattle brands in this section that's why you
31:34hired me isn't it. No. I took you on because I
31:41like to look. And I thought we might get to be great friends. I know
31:48all I need to know about how. I took you off when to run that last bunch across
31:54the border. Yes you did. And we just missed being
32:01nabbed by the law it's not my fault if you and your man bungled
32:05a job you know. That's why I'm being watched it's at
32:12the reason I can't leave this ranch. That's one of the reasons.
32:19The other one is that the money for that job was taken off the stagecoach this
32:24morning. Somebody was tipped off about that money.
32:32You're not quitting your job. And you're leaving here only with me.
32:39Or on the plane.
32:48Or. Let
32:53a go to your room. I'll talk to you about this later.
32:57I. Know
33:17that you are the one I love.
35:27But.
35:42It's everything all right everything's wrong I think you were expecting.
35:49Did you come home yes you shouldn't have done that now they've got
35:53both. I have to come along first to get you out and second because I've got to get
35:59evidence that I'm going to court.
36:15Even if I'd yeah go ahead. Now listen when I talk to wrong
36:22you get everything he says on paper. All right. You're taking
36:28an awful chance you're so are you.
36:41Well what have you learned let me hear you shy and tell me yes
36:48that I'll be up in Wyoming. Next up with two or three
36:54rustling out there. He claims he knows who stuck up the stage and can recover the
37:01money for
37:01a price. We'll go to this house we'll take enough men with us to nab him
37:08a case he tries to pull anything.
37:18And then just came through my window. Sorry to scare the girl that's
37:25right I am Tommy man I was talking about. I thought this would be
37:31a better place for
37:32a meeting than my ranch. How did you get in here how did you get past my second
37:37never mind that I'm here. That's your tape. Meet Mr Wade or shy and
37:44Tommy he claims he can name the bandit that got your money from all I didn't say
37:48I'd name him he's
37:49a friend of mine I said I could recover the money. For a price I've heard of you
37:55shy and it might prove useful to me there is
37:59a proposition do we have to have women in this power. To go to your own salary.
38:05That I was going to. Get
38:16another glass and you know it's been my experience that women always come up
38:21a man. Just beginning to find that out for myself.
38:36Well spillage I am. But you better make the terms reasonable.
38:43Or you might have
38:44a hard time getting out of this place. I got in didn't I.
38:51Now let's get this straight. There was something around ten thousand dollars in
38:55that bag payment for close to a thousand head of steers run over the border small
39:01bunch of what we all know about that relation there handle the other end of it for
39:06me. Fine that's just to keep the record straight.
39:31Where's Greece. He's going to the right to take the old man to see shy and tell me
39:37tonight what I'm blundering fool shy and tell me the detective detective Yeah and
39:43so that don't be little car and I guess.
39:45That.
39:59I had to take care of that drunk he's terrible.
40:45You call me then you know. Bring this lady.
41:16Well then my proposition is settled 10% for me and the job with your outfit.
41:22Right well I'll go get the cash back in the morning maybe we'd better go with you
41:28you know you have
41:29a reputation of making quick disappearances help suit yourself about that if I wanted
41:35to keep all the money I wouldn't have come here.
42:15I have
42:35given orders if you make any attempt to leave this place you'll be shot. Like any
42:41other traitor. Your suspicions are ridiculous.
42:59That.
43:11Hi, Cheyenne.
43:13Hello, Gerard.
