00:01:29Lee has surrendered to Grant.
00:01:31And even now, as I write an eyewitness story for Leslie's Weekly,
00:01:36this Virginia countryside no longer trembles to the sound of guns.
00:01:43I have followed the war for five years.
00:01:46And the silence, the silence of peace is too much for my nerves.
00:01:54I am overcome with emotion.
00:01:56You better take a drink, Jim.
00:01:57You don't want to be overcome with emotion.
00:01:59You want your reading public to do the emoting.
00:02:02You're right. I got the shakes.
00:02:05Of course, it don't seem natural for a fact.
00:02:10No guns booming, no ambulances staggering down the road.
00:02:16Turn on the old hot tonic that made you famous, Jim.
00:02:20Today, the ambulances lie idle, says Jim Steve, the celebrated war correspondent.
00:02:25No longer is there precious cargo of shattered humanity.
00:02:28That's enough.
00:02:41Jumpin' Jehoshaphat.
00:02:45What's the matter?
00:02:46It's Lee. Lee riding home from the wars.
00:02:59You haven't surrendered to him, have you, General?
00:03:01You haven't quit fighting him, have you, sir?
00:03:02No, no. We're just going home to plant a crop.
00:03:05Then come back and fight him some more, ain't we, General?
00:03:07Oh, we ain't going home.
00:03:08We ain't just playing a trick on them bluecoats, ain't we, General?
00:03:15What's your name, Lieutenant?
00:03:16Cleve Blunt, sir.
00:03:18Where's your home?
00:03:19Hopewell, sir, in the Bull Run Mountains.
00:03:22I'm a soldier.
00:03:24I'm a soldier.
00:03:25Where's your home?
00:03:26Hopewell, sir, in the Bull Run Mountain Country.
00:03:29Then you must be Miss Patty Blunt's boy.
00:03:32Why, yes, sir.
00:03:34Well, you go home, Lieutenant.
00:03:36And tell your mother you must lay down your arms now and return to your books.
00:03:41But I want to go on fighting, General, until we beat him.
00:03:45Peace hath her victories no less than war.
00:03:48There's an old hymn which says,
00:03:51Chance and change are busy ever.
00:03:54Man decays, but ages move.
00:03:58We must move with the ages, Cleve.
00:04:02There can be no standing still.
00:04:20Chance and change are busy ever.
00:04:24Man decays, but ages move.
00:04:29For his mercy reigneth ever.
00:04:34For his wisdom is our...
00:04:37I'm from Leslie's Weekly.
00:04:39I heard the General tell you to go to college.
00:04:41Aren't you going to take his advice?
00:04:43I've never done anything but fight since I was 16.
00:04:46I couldn't stop it now if I tried.
00:04:51Who is in charge here?
00:04:53You must place yourself at my disposal for a few minutes.
00:04:55It is most urgent.
00:04:57I am an accredited military observer.
00:04:59And I wish to send my dispatch through our embassy in Washington
00:05:02to the Count von Bismarck in Berlin.
00:05:04You ain't accredited to Frank Leslie, are you?
00:05:06Leslie, bah!
00:05:08I wish to send my dispatch to the Count von Bismarck, do you understand?
00:05:10The Count von Bismarck...
00:05:12It's just a hearing to me.
00:05:14Hello, Count.
00:05:16Ah, Hastin, you must help me.
00:05:18The Count von Bismarck is waiting for my report.
00:05:20He wishes to point out the mistakes your General Lee has made.
00:05:23Sure, you can point out Lee's mistakes.
00:05:26But only a great man like Lee, yonder,
00:05:29can point out the mistakes that will be made after the guns are silent.
00:05:32Guns are never silent, Hastin.
00:05:35Guns are wisdom.
00:05:37Guns are love to you Prussians.
00:05:39Go ahead and send it.
00:05:51She's really charming.
00:05:53Yes, I saw her in Vienna.
00:05:55Auf Wiedersehen, Colonel.
00:05:57It was a pleasure, Your Excellency.
00:05:59Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:06:03There's old Steed.
00:06:06A war horse in a white tie and tails.
00:06:09Steed, old boy.
00:06:11Hello, Colonel.
00:06:13Hello. Lylas, this is Mr. Steed, with whom I had the pleasure of reporting to you.
00:06:16He's a good man.
00:06:17Hello. Lylas, this is Mr. Steed,
00:06:19with whom I had the pleasure of reporting the war between the states.
00:06:21My fiancée, Miss Thorndyke.
00:06:23How do you do?
00:06:25An American war correspondent in Berlin.
00:06:27Well, we're like vultures, lady.
00:06:29We gather around and wait for the lions to die.
00:06:31You don't think the Prussian lion's going to die?
00:06:33No, but I think the Austrian lion's going to be pretty badly mauled.
00:06:35Shh, Jim, we're in Berlin.
00:06:37I'm sure Mr. Steed isn't here to report a war.
00:06:40Like everybody else, he's here to throw himself at the feet of the Viennese ballerina.
00:06:43Now, what chance would I have against an Austrian archduke?
00:06:45Jim, I'm His Majesty's military attaché.
00:06:47We don't talk about such things.
00:06:50Pardon me.
00:06:52Jim, I have waited a whole hour for you.
00:06:55I had a cable from New York, a very important assignment.
00:06:57Shh.
00:07:00My German teacher.
00:07:02Ah, yes.
00:07:04Is it true that that dancer hopes to marry the Austrian prince?
00:07:07Every woman hopes to become a princess.
00:07:09Shh.
00:07:11Pardon me.
00:07:13Jim.
00:07:15I promise you.
00:07:17You promise?
00:07:19Yes, I'll be there. I'll beat it. Please.
00:07:23Another German teacher?
00:07:25No, she gives me lessons, uh, piano.
00:07:27Piano, oh.
00:07:29About the ballerina.
00:07:31Wasn't she asked by the Prussian government to dance tonight?
00:07:33You know, a sort of compliment to the royal house of Vienna.
00:07:35No bones broken.
00:07:37I read a perfectly horrid article about her
00:07:39in one of those awful mudslinging American weekly.
00:07:41Lies!
00:07:43Well, I did read it.
00:07:45Oh.
00:07:48She was probably thrown out of Vienna.
00:07:50Well, they didn't throw her far enough.
00:07:52I wish she'd landed in New York.
00:07:54Oh, that's the bell for the overture.
00:07:56May I have some champagne, please?
00:07:58I'd like a word with the American bluebeard. I'll join you.
00:08:00Very well, dear. I'll see you later.
00:08:02Yes.
00:08:04Now look here, don't you stick your inquisitive American nose
00:08:06into high politics.
00:08:08Well, I may get a punch in the nose before the night's over,
00:08:10but I think I'll be able to hit back sooner or later.
00:08:13When you're thrown in jail, give me a signal.
00:08:15Send me a file and a loaf of bread, old boy.
00:08:33She's beautiful.
00:08:35She's worth of a campaign.
00:08:45She's beautiful.
00:09:15She's beautiful.
00:09:17She's beautiful.
00:09:19She's beautiful.
00:09:21She's beautiful.
00:09:23She's beautiful.
00:09:25She's beautiful.
00:09:27She's beautiful.
00:09:29She's beautiful.
00:09:31She's beautiful.
00:09:33She's beautiful.
00:09:35She's beautiful.
00:09:37She's beautiful.
00:09:39She's beautiful.
00:09:41She's beautiful.
00:09:43She's beautiful.
00:09:45She's beautiful.
00:09:55After four years in America,
00:09:57I hardly know how to begin a European campaign.
00:10:00Opening moves are always the same.
00:10:02Flowers and champagne.
00:10:04Love is like war.
00:10:06First, a demonstration of friendliness
00:10:08to put your opponent at ease.
00:10:15The lady has access to the royal family in Vienna.
00:10:23In fact, one of the Habsburgs may think more of her than he does of his emperor.
00:10:28Remember me, von Bohlen?
00:10:31Got your dispatch off after Appomattox.
00:10:34You are forcing yourself upon the Count von Bismarck.
00:10:37Introduce me, Count.
00:10:38Saw you in the audience.
00:10:39Just thought I'd ask you to give me a little information that I need.
00:10:42This man is presuming upon a chance acquaintance.
00:10:45Get out.
00:10:46Get out before I have you thrown out.
00:10:48Now, look, Count, is that any way to treat an American war correspondent?
00:10:51Yes, Harry.
00:10:52An old comrade in arms.
00:10:54I very much admire the valet campaigns of the American General Jackson.
00:10:58I say, I could talk to you about old Stonewall all night.
00:11:01Hardly tonight.
00:11:02Could we be of any service to you in Berlin, or steed?
00:11:06We sure could, Count von Bismarck.
00:11:09You could help me score a beat on the world if you'll tell me the day you're going to
00:11:11make war on Austria.
00:11:13So, such a frontery should receive a slap across the face.
00:11:17Of course, steed, if our Austrian cousins ally themselves with France,
00:11:21we must protect the fatherland.
00:11:24That's just what I thought, sir.
00:11:26Hope you've excused the interruption.
00:11:27I have not.
00:11:28He's irritable tonight.
00:11:30It is always so when one is assigned to a delicate test.
00:11:35Good luck to you, gentlemen.
00:11:37Now you see how simple and honest our great Iron Chancellor is.
00:11:40Imagine breaking in on your General Grant that way.
00:11:42What would he have done to you?
00:11:44He always gave me a cigar and then told me the truth.
00:11:48The ladies were admiring your flowers, Herr Graf.
00:11:52The ladies were admiring your flowers, Herr Graf.
00:11:56The ladies were admiring your flowers, Herr Graf.
00:12:20Ja?
00:12:22Ja?
00:12:24Oh, uh, from His Excellency, the Count von Bismarck.
00:12:27Ah, ja, the lady de Heer.
00:12:37Prussian beast, derise.
00:12:40Every man disrobes me.
00:12:42I'd say, ma'am, there isn't much to disrobe.
00:12:44Sophie, this gentleman?
00:12:47He is from His Excellency, the Count von Bismarck.
00:12:51Huh, from that vulture in the box.
00:12:54She's got me wrong, ma'am.
00:12:56I'm from Frank Leslie's Weekly.
00:12:58From what?
00:12:59Frank Leslie's Weekly.
00:13:02Hmph, she's a very bad likeness of me.
00:13:05Look, are my shoulders made of iron?
00:13:08No, ma'am, I'd say they were made of butter and sugar.
00:13:11Which will never be at Count Bismarck's feast.
00:13:14I'm sure of that, ma'am.
00:13:16But the other one in the box...
00:13:18Now, I'd like to interest you in a little business proposition.
00:13:22I came back here because I happened to overhear a conversation about you
00:13:25between Count von Bismarck and Count von Bohlen.
00:13:28I happened to overhear it because I make it my business to eavesdrop.
00:13:32I am uninterested in their opinion of me.
00:13:35I'll play a little game with you.
00:13:37If you can find out from von Bohlen just when Prussia expects to make war against Austria,
00:13:41I will undertake to forward your messages back to Vienna.
00:13:44You'll undertake it? Can I not write to my prince?
00:13:47Not if you're as shrewd as you look.
00:13:50The day that you begin to receive von Bohlen's attentions,
00:13:53that day you will be under surveillance.
00:13:55But I am not going to receive his attentions.
00:13:58But that's what I want to urge you to do.
00:14:00To have supper in his rooms, to have possibly a great amount of curiosity
00:14:04as to the contents of his bureau or his desk or his letter file.
00:14:13You'd get more places that way in a war than General Grant could
00:14:16in a full-dress uniform.
00:14:18In whose pay are you?
00:14:21Has it ever occurred to you, Salome,
00:14:23that we're all instruments of divine providence?
00:14:26I'm a member of a despised tribe, a newspaper man,
00:14:29and you're eating your heart out
00:14:31because you can never be a Habsburg princess.
00:14:34Now, suppose we could unmask that Tiger Bismarck
00:14:37when he attempts to strike in the spring,
00:14:39show that it is cool, deliberate murder.
00:14:42To my mind, that's a finer thing to do
00:14:44for your prince and your country
00:14:46than any mere queen would do.
00:14:48It is a queenly thing, oh, Salome,
00:14:50to do good and be well spoken of.
00:14:53And so we see who knocks.
00:14:56It is fate knocking, Salome.
00:15:03Madame Maria, it gives to me great pleasure
00:15:06to present His Excellency Count von Bohlen
00:15:08of the Prussian General Staff.
00:15:10Mars, making a customary homage to Venus.
00:15:13It would do me great honor, Gnaeus Fräulein,
00:15:16to order supper for us at the Bristol.
00:15:18Of course, in the great dining room.
00:15:21Oh, it is such a large room.
00:15:23I am frightened by such great beauty,
00:15:25or I would ask to order supper in your room.
00:15:30My rooms are stuffy.
00:15:32I would hardly say in my room.
00:15:36An actress in your rooms?
00:15:38Yes, that would be frowned upon
00:15:40by the chief of the Prussian General Staff.
00:15:44I thank you for the lovely flowers.
00:15:47They are exquisite.
00:15:49Sophie, take care of these.
00:15:53What wine will you choose?
00:15:56I love the wine of Hungary,
00:15:58the Tokaj.
00:16:00And the temperature?
00:16:02The temperature of your rooms.
00:16:08Who, uh,
00:16:10who tells you Americans
00:16:12all the secrets of our European wars?
00:16:14A little bird?
00:16:16You military attachés
00:16:18never see the woods for the trees.
00:16:23Speaking of trees,
00:16:25a lovely sapling there, huh?
00:16:32It's a beautiful tree.
00:16:42Beside a sturdy Prussian oak.
00:16:55I say, Steve,
00:16:57you're quite a gay young dog
00:16:58beneath your rugged exterior, aren't you?
00:17:00Do you mind?
00:17:01Not at all, old boy.
00:17:03If Billy do for me,
00:17:04I'd have read it first
00:17:05and asked your pardon later.
00:17:10Now, the matter of that small wager
00:17:12on Bismarck's intentions towards Austria...
00:17:14I never bet on a sure thing, Colonel.
00:17:17You know, Colonel,
00:17:18with your rank and my brains,
00:17:20we could run this war.
00:17:21My dear fellow, what war?
00:17:23The one that starts tomorrow.
00:17:27Steve,
00:17:29I give you top marks.
00:17:31Time's a-wasting, Colonel.
00:17:33I must send my dispatch to Leslie's weekly.
00:17:35And I request the pleasure of your company,
00:17:37my dear Henderson,
00:17:38for the opening of the war
00:17:39between Prussia and Austria
00:17:41tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
00:18:01Now, Colonel,
00:18:02if the Austrians tried that outflanking maneuver
00:18:04on old Stonewall Jackson,
00:18:05they'd lose their pants before nightfall.
00:18:07Then I can assure you
00:18:08they're going to lose them.
00:18:09These Prussians have learned more
00:18:10from Stonewall Jackson
00:18:11than Frederick the Great ever taught them.
00:18:14We'd better get out of here.
00:18:31God darn it!
00:18:32You can tell a livery-stable horse
00:18:33in any country.
00:19:01♪
00:19:21Napoleon Brandy.
00:19:23Great G. Hossefat, brother.
00:19:25What a deluxe war you Austrians fight.
00:19:29Well,
00:19:30I guess the least I can do
00:19:31is take your name
00:19:32and let your folks know you didn't suffer.
00:19:34♪
00:20:01I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness.
00:20:03But a lady's life
00:20:04can hang in the balance
00:20:05on this little perfume scale.
00:20:07♪
00:20:28You are wounded, Herr Steele.
00:20:31Only a bad fall.
00:20:32Only a bad fall from a horse.
00:20:33Which conveniently places you
00:20:34in a position to loot the dead.
00:20:40Feldwebel!
00:20:49The threads run together, eh?
00:20:51The pattern on the broad loom of intelligence
00:20:53begins to take shape.
00:20:55You were with him.
00:20:56There was confusion in retreat.
00:20:58I was thrown here by him.
00:20:59A packet of letters
00:21:00which you have hidden under the stone.
00:21:01You were reading them.
00:21:03Yes.
00:21:04And you were about to steal the locket.
00:21:06I was about to return it to someone.
00:21:08You must permit me to do that for you.
00:21:13You see, I'm going to have you shot
00:21:15as a battlefield ghoul.
00:21:17Perhaps we should let the Feldwebel return them.
00:21:19You see, when you turn those letters
00:21:21over to your chief of staff up there,
00:21:22he'll have you shot
00:21:23for revealing military secrets
00:21:24to a lady who's made a fool of you.
00:21:28A life for a life.
00:21:29Two lives for your one.
00:21:33Naturally, I would not hurt her.
00:21:35I am unfortunate enough to love her.
00:21:40Feldwebel!
00:21:44I am giving you safe conduct and escort.
00:21:46Be good enough to tell him where you wish to go.
00:21:53Oh, cow!
00:21:55Haven't you forgotten something, Count?
00:21:57The lady's letters.
00:21:58Or shall I call them
00:21:59to the attention of your chief of staff?
00:22:25THE END
00:22:39Lipien, the American is right.
00:22:41You can't remain in Vienna.
00:22:43Prussians will enter the city tomorrow.
00:22:45We have no time to stand on manners now.
00:22:48He will go to Paris.
00:22:50Prussians will be there next year.
00:22:51You ought to know that better than I do.
00:22:54If only Kurt had used upon him
00:22:57the plans I...
00:22:59I stole for his sake.
00:23:02You should be proud of him.
00:23:04He lost a war,
00:23:05lost his life,
00:23:06rather than let anyone know
00:23:07that the girl he loved
00:23:08had placed herself in a position
00:23:09to loot the rooms of a Prussian officer.
00:23:12Yes, a man could love you that much.
00:23:17And now this Prussian
00:23:19will hunt me to the ends of the earth.
00:23:25Fraulein, he is here.
00:23:27Look, I have enough money
00:23:28to take us on the new steam package
00:23:29from Trieste to Galveston.
00:23:31We have Professor Max here
00:23:32to arrange your music,
00:23:33then we'll dance our way
00:23:34across the Oberlin stage route
00:23:35to San Francisco.
00:23:36Lipien, I'm not too old to be a pioneer.
00:23:38You may present His Excellency
00:23:39in the Fraulein's sitting room
00:23:40in two minutes, Sophia.
00:23:41Do as I say, Sophie.
00:23:43Don't you see?
00:23:44San Francisco is made for you.
00:23:45You think Paris or Vienna is profligate?
00:23:47You should see those nabobs
00:23:48on the Gold Coast.
00:23:50But...
00:23:51it would all be too new.
00:23:53New?
00:23:54San Francisco?
00:23:55Why, it's a chapter
00:23:56out of the Arabian Nights.
00:23:57We'll descend on the Golden Gate
00:23:58like a pack of wolves
00:23:59on a sheepfold.
00:24:00This is one time
00:24:01a reporter would rather
00:24:02create a great story
00:24:03than write one.
00:24:04Look, I got you into this
00:24:05and I'll get you out of it.
00:24:06You're going to stand here
00:24:07a portrait of a faithless lady
00:24:08waiting for the big reconciliation.
00:24:09In the meantime,
00:24:10Uncle Jim,
00:24:11good old Uncle Jim,
00:24:12will take up his position
00:24:13back in the door.
00:24:16He'll come in,
00:24:17strike an attitude,
00:24:18shout that he's been hornswoggled,
00:24:19and that's when you blow out the lamp.
00:24:20Music, Professor.
00:24:24Yes?
00:24:28All along you were acting,
00:24:30giving another of your
00:24:31great performances.
00:24:32You tricked me into loving you
00:24:33and that I cannot
00:24:34never forget.
00:24:54You can take it easy now
00:24:55and relax.
00:24:57What did you say?
00:24:59I said you can relax.
00:25:02Ain't no danger of a hold up now.
00:25:05That's Drinkman Wells
00:25:06right over there.
00:25:09Dancing our way
00:25:10to San Francisco.
00:25:12I'll be back.
00:25:14I'll be back.
00:25:15I'll be back.
00:25:16I'll be back.
00:25:17I'll be back.
00:25:18I'll be back.
00:25:19I'll be back.
00:25:21I'll be back.
00:25:23Oh, don't blame Jim.
00:25:25He forgot what a big country
00:25:26he lives in.
00:25:27How wide it is.
00:25:29And how much it costs
00:25:30to go from nowhere to nowhere.
00:25:32Twenty-eight days already
00:25:33and not a crone
00:25:34and left between us.
00:25:36Don't worry, Max.
00:25:37Before us lies the small
00:25:39but thriving community
00:25:40of Drinkman Wells
00:25:41where our Viennese lily
00:25:42will bloom in the desert
00:25:43or we'll all die of thirst.
00:25:52Well, folks.
00:26:09Here we are.
00:26:10Drinkman Wells.
00:26:14Oh, look, Max.
00:26:16Madame Europe's.
00:26:18That is what Jim
00:26:19would call a hunch.
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:21Well, she might welcome
00:26:22show folks.
00:26:23She used to be on the stage
00:26:24herself until her arches fell.
00:26:26Place is right across the street.
00:26:27Thanks.
00:26:45What do you want?
00:26:48We want the best that
00:26:49Madame Europe can afford
00:26:50and a lot of it.
00:26:51European cuisine,
00:26:52Spanish wines,
00:26:53French beds,
00:26:54Bechstein Grand
00:26:55for our professor here to play
00:26:57and a stage for a gloria.
00:26:59Hmm.
00:27:01Show folks, huh?
00:27:02Step right in.
00:27:11Well, you've got to
00:27:12excuse this reception.
00:27:13We've been having
00:27:14a little trouble down here
00:27:15in Drinkman Wells.
00:27:16Kind of trouble.
00:27:17Bandit trouble.
00:27:18Stagecoach Cleve
00:27:19he calls himself.
00:27:20He blows up strongboxes
00:27:21with a newfangled explosion
00:27:22called nitro kerosene.
00:27:24Nobody cares about
00:27:25a little regular banditry.
00:27:27But when it comes right down
00:27:28to using these unorthodox methods
00:27:30makes the boys around town
00:27:31mighty sore.
00:27:32Well, maybe we have
00:27:33just what this town needs.
00:27:34A good rousing show.
00:27:35And when it comes
00:27:36to explosion liquor,
00:27:38this little lady is dynamite.
00:27:41Well, she don't look to me
00:27:42like she could explode
00:27:43no better than a penny
00:27:44firecracker right now.
00:27:45Forgive me if I don't
00:27:46live up to his description,
00:27:48but the trip was very long.
00:27:50And it's so hot.
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Well,
00:27:54go on, get your duds.
00:27:57We're right about the hunch.
00:27:58We won't be long.
00:28:00Madame Yoro,
00:28:01you are indeed
00:28:03an oasis.
00:28:04Well, I've been called
00:28:05a lot of things,
00:28:06but that's a new one on me.
00:28:07Hey.
00:28:17Those tales of love
00:28:20shall tell.
00:28:25That takes me back.
00:28:28We came through here
00:28:29about 10 years ago.
00:28:31And our manager,
00:28:32oh, he was a wonderful artist.
00:28:35Only he could never
00:28:36resist a card game.
00:28:37One day he thought
00:28:38he saw a sanded ace
00:28:39up a gambler's sleeve
00:28:40and he started to draw
00:28:41on a two-gun man.
00:28:42We buried him
00:28:43in Boot Hill
00:28:45with a row of
00:28:46crystal clear whiskey bottles
00:28:49marking his grave.
00:28:50You mean to say
00:28:51there's a troop still kicking
00:28:52around this outpost?
00:28:53What's left of him.
00:28:54And our heavy.
00:28:56He was the greatest
00:28:57Simon Legree
00:28:59that ever cracked a whip.
00:29:01He shaken New Orleans fizzes
00:29:02in the Red Dog Saloon.
00:29:04By the way,
00:29:05what play do you aim to do?
00:29:07Max, that's your department.
00:29:08A pantomime.
00:29:11Why not?
00:29:13Why not The Sleeping Beauty?
00:29:15Not here.
00:29:16They don't like him sleeping.
00:29:18I know something
00:29:19that'll wake him up.
00:29:20Salome.
00:29:21Salome?
00:29:23Does she dance that good?
00:29:24That good.
00:29:26Drinkman Wells
00:29:27will remember it forever.
00:29:35Salome!
00:29:49Beautiful girl.
00:29:50Here we go.
00:29:51Have your tickets ready.
00:29:52All right.
00:29:54Eat my knife.
00:29:56Boy, I figure I'm eating
00:29:57some peas in there, Dobie.
00:30:06Come on.
00:30:11May I have
00:30:12your attention, gentlemen?
00:30:14A little introduction
00:30:15music, professor.
00:30:19Gentlemen, welcome.
00:30:21At vast expense
00:30:22and across the burning waste
00:30:24of the great American desert,
00:30:26from across the storm-swept Atlantic,
00:30:28from the gilded capitals of Europe,
00:30:31we have assembled
00:30:32the greatest array of talent,
00:30:33foreign, domestic,
00:30:34and strictly local,
00:30:35ever presented in this outpost
00:30:37of desert culture,
00:30:38Drinkman Wells.
00:30:41Quiet, please.
00:30:43Our orchestra is under the baton
00:30:45of that celebrated Viennese composer,
00:30:47formerly opera host,
00:30:48here, professor,
00:30:50Max Blumenthal.
00:30:54Hey.
00:30:55Crazy.
00:30:56Go on.
00:30:57Give me that shoe of mine.
00:30:58Get out of here.
00:31:00For our first number,
00:31:01it gives me great pleasure
00:31:03to present
00:31:04the old favorite
00:31:05from the Bohemian Girls,
00:31:06Madame Europe.
00:31:16Hey.
00:31:17Look at old Bess.
00:31:18She don't look a deal
00:31:19before East.
00:31:22Kitty,
00:31:23what are you doing
00:31:24with that shoe of yours?
00:31:33Yeah!
00:31:39I dream tight with
00:31:43We want to be free
00:31:45We want to be free
00:31:47With the servants
00:31:49and serfs
00:31:50at my side
00:31:53And all who assemble
00:31:57Jim.
00:31:58Jim.
00:32:00What's the matter, honey?
00:32:01It isn't going well, is it?
00:32:03It isn't going at all.
00:32:04It's stuck in the mud.
00:32:05Madame Europe
00:32:06is laying an egg
00:32:07the size of a beer barrel.
00:32:08We want to be free
00:32:10We want to be free
00:32:12Jim, I'm worried.
00:32:14Don't you worry, honey.
00:32:15You're gonna ride to the rescue.
00:32:19This audience,
00:32:21it staggers me.
00:32:22They'll eat right out of your hand,
00:32:24the same way I did.
00:32:26How's the cash box?
00:32:28We made enough money
00:32:29to go to San Francisco
00:32:30in style.
00:32:31Where's Salome coming on?
00:32:36But these men,
00:32:38they're not like any I've ever met.
00:32:40Look, honey,
00:32:41when you dance,
00:32:42a man's a man
00:32:43in a checkered shirt
00:32:44and chewing tobacco
00:32:45or a gentleman
00:32:46in white tie and tails.
00:32:47Oh, Jim,
00:32:48you're just what I need.
00:32:50When we get to the big money,
00:32:52how about making that
00:32:53a permanent deal?
00:32:55Are you proposing to me?
00:32:57This isn't just a case
00:32:58of stage fright.
00:32:59I've been proposing to you
00:33:00since the first time I saw you.
00:33:03Oh, get ready for action.
00:33:06We want Salome!

00:35:23Salome!
00:35:24Salome!
00:35:25Salome!
00:35:27Reach for it and keep reaching.
00:35:32Go ahead, boys.
00:35:36Max...
00:35:38It's cool to come to life.
00:35:41You're a low-down critter stagecoach.
00:35:43Not only robbing, but busting up the show.
00:35:46Yeah, too bad, Sheriff.
00:35:47Mighty nice of you getting the folks together, though.
00:35:49And throwing the guns in the bin to collect them easier.
00:35:52Thanks.
00:35:57Thanks.
00:36:08I remember you.
00:36:10You're Cleve Blunt.
00:36:12You spoke to General Lee after Appomattox.
00:36:15It's stagecoach Cleve now.
00:36:17Still fighting.
00:36:19I'll trouble you for that cash box, mister.
00:36:27If you're quite through robbing these poor people,
00:36:30I would like to go on with my dance.
00:36:32That's what they came here for and paid for.
00:36:35Go ahead, lady. Dance.
00:36:37Sit down, boys.
00:36:39Sorry to have interrupted your fun, but keep your hands up.
00:36:42Go ahead and play, Max.
00:36:56Go ahead.
00:37:26Go ahead.

00:39:05Keep them up.
00:39:11Bravo. That was wonderful.
00:39:13I thought the American bandit was romantic, like the desert.
00:39:17Not a low, common thief, sneaking in to rob poor defenseless people.
00:39:22All right, boys, let's go.
00:39:33Steady.
00:39:35Come on, boys, let's get going.
00:39:44Well, it was wonderful of you dancing for them.
00:39:46Yeah, yeah, but how are we going to get to San Francisco?
00:39:49Looks like we ain't.
00:39:50Looks like Drickman Wells has got a permanent theater
00:39:52and looks like I got a lot of permanent non-paying guests.
00:39:55Yeah.

00:41:27Wasn't that why you looked at me the way you did?
00:41:29Why you danced for me?
00:41:32No, you don't understand.
00:41:36You reminded me of someone else.
00:41:39While I was dancing, I seemed to be alive again.
00:41:43Almost happy once more.
00:41:45Where is he now?
00:41:48He's... he's dead.
00:41:53I'm sorry.
00:41:55He was killed in a war.
00:42:00Were you a soldier, too?
00:42:02Yes, I was a Confederate soldier under General Lee.
00:42:06Then I don't understand why you are a bandit now.
00:42:10The fruits of defeat.
00:42:12Over the world, nursing their scars,
00:42:14sit the old soldiers broke into wars.
00:42:17You have been broken into wars?
00:42:20Yes, ma'am.
00:42:22By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
00:42:26Yes, we hanged our harps upon the willows
00:42:28and we wept when we remembered Zion.
00:42:31Yes, that is a beautiful song.
00:42:35And those who carried us away captive
00:42:38required of us a song.
00:42:43O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
00:42:48Die grün sind deine Blätter
00:42:53Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
00:42:59Doch auch im Winter wenn es schneit
00:43:05Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
00:43:10Die grün sind deine Blätter
00:43:21What do your words say?
00:43:24They tell about a Christmas tree.
00:43:27A Christmas tree with lights and snow.
00:43:30And the colored folks rolling the Christmas log into the hall.
00:43:34Candied apples, strings of popcorn,
00:43:37frosted cookies.
00:43:39You see, you're not a bandit, really.
00:43:43Just someone who has lost his faith for a little time.
00:43:48How can one have faith when there's nothing and no one?
00:43:53But there is, if you have faith.
00:43:57No.
00:44:09I want some of you men to come with me.
00:44:11You know this part of the country better than I do.
00:44:13We can't leave this to the sheriff and his posse alone.
00:44:16We've all got a joint in the search.
00:44:18Now then, how many of you men...
00:44:19Look!
00:44:32Here is their money, every cent of it.
00:44:35And this is ours, Jim.
00:44:37Hey, folks, come back.
00:44:39A miracle has happened.
00:44:40Look!
00:44:50Are you all right?
00:44:52Yes, Jim, don't worry.
00:44:54But Lipien, you were kidnapped and in danger.
00:44:56And now you say don't worry?
00:44:57Well, she's right.
00:44:58We'll soon be getting out of here.
00:44:59Then we'll win over all the day bobs on the Gold Coast.
00:45:02And when the sheriff gets back,
00:45:03we will tell him that stagecoach Cleve
00:45:06will never trouble him again.
00:45:07Because he's going away with us, too.
00:45:10With us?
00:45:12It's a free country, Steve.
00:45:13But it's sort of wild up there.
00:45:14The lady needs protection.
00:45:16Looks like you're going to have some competition.
00:45:19Gentlemen!
00:45:24Gentlemen!
00:45:26I hope that everything has been returned to you.
00:45:29How about it, boys?
00:45:30A cheer for the little lady.
00:45:31Hurray!
00:45:34Oh, thank you.
00:45:36Never in my whole life will I forget the town of...
00:45:39The town of...
00:45:40The town of...
00:45:42Say, wait a minute.
00:45:44Henceforth, this town will no longer hide its fame
00:45:47under the prosaic appellation of Drinkman Wells.
00:45:51From now on, this town will be known as
00:45:53Salome, Where She Danced.
00:45:56Hurray!
00:46:03Hurray!
00:46:08I'm so glad we followed Hellstead's advice
00:46:10and came to San Francisco.
00:46:12It's filled with the haunting music of a city
00:46:14out of the Arabian Nights.
00:46:15Now, if we could only find the key
00:46:17that unlocks the golden gate.
00:46:18Oh, dearie, dearie.
00:46:20You're going to look swell draped in this.
00:46:22All ready for the grand entrance.
00:46:23All you need now is a center door fancy,
00:46:25the plush curtains, the grand staircase,
00:46:27and then...
00:46:28Ta-da!
00:46:29Bravo, bravo!
00:46:30Oh, I wish Cleve would hurry back.
00:46:32I'm so excited and nervous.
00:46:34It feels just like an opening night.
00:46:36I hope I don't forget my lines.
00:46:38Well, I never forgot my lines,
00:46:40but I do remember a most embarrassing moment
00:46:42when I did forget my...
00:46:43Uh-uh.
00:46:44Madame Europe.
00:46:46Tiara.
00:46:47I was about to say.
00:46:49You won't have any opening night to worry about
00:46:51unless we can find an angel.
00:46:52Why, this town is filthy with gold.
00:46:54Oh, so far, we've managed to remain surprisingly clean.
00:46:57But I've just been reading about a very likely prospect.
00:47:00San Francisco's most fabulous nabob,
00:47:02Colonel Ivan Dmitrioff.
00:47:03We may as well start at the top.
00:47:05Paper's full of his exploits.
00:47:07Dmitrioff entertains royalty.
00:47:08Dmitrioff buys gold mine.
00:47:10Dmitrioff gives a fortune to charity.
00:47:12And so on.
00:47:13Is that his picture?
00:47:14That's him, all right.
00:47:15Now all we have to do is to interest him
00:47:17in our own little charitable organization.
00:47:21Just a touch of pecan in my vodka, please.
00:47:23I keep forgetting, Carol.
00:47:30Psst.
00:48:01I understand you're the richest nabob on the Gold Coast, Carol.
00:48:04Yes, I'm one malefacto who makes no attempt
00:48:06to conceal his enormous wealth.
00:48:08Then maybe you'd like to buy this key ring
00:48:11I caught in the Malay state.
00:48:13It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:16Yes, I believe it to be a Dea Sumatrana.
00:48:18It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:20It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:22It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:24It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:26It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:28It's a very rare specimen.
00:48:29Looks to me to be a Dea Sumatrana.
00:48:31While the divine apparition over there
00:48:33is wearing nothing better than a Dea Purpurea,
00:48:35the common heron of Europe
00:48:37and to be had for a few pennies in any Paris shop.
00:48:40It's yours for $1500.
00:48:43My good fellow, I consider that a bargain.
00:48:47You're at $2000.
00:48:48I'm afraid I haven't got the change.
00:48:50Never mind, you may keep the change.
00:48:52Oh, thank you, sir.
00:48:55Sir, will you do me the honor
00:48:57name of the lady who has just entered. Which lady, sir? Is there more than one?
00:49:01The lady, sir, is a celebrated Viennese dancer who is said to have provoked the
00:49:06recent war between Prussia and Austria. She has suffered deeply. Her suffering
00:49:11will soon be at an end.
00:49:13Don't. I'm not hurt. We've hooked him.
00:49:22I ask your pardon, but mademoiselle is far too genuine to be wearing false
00:49:27feathers. The tropics of the Indian seas have labored a million years to find
00:49:33plumage worthy of your grace. I hate gun smoke. Shall we go?
00:49:52Oh, madame Europe.
00:49:58What now? Could it be real, that Rembrandt? Is it not beautiful?
00:50:03He looks like he needs a dose of calomel to me.
00:50:06Six bits out of plunder, Dimitrioff.
00:50:21Oh, no, Cleve. Russians are a very demonstrative people, and they are also
00:50:27very generous. Now, after it is all over and he has built a theater for me, this
00:50:33Colonel Dimitrioff will laugh at Jimsty's little trick.
00:50:36That's what I don't like, this trick. You've seen enough trouble. You've
00:50:39probably caused enough trouble.
00:50:41Cleve.
00:50:42Oh, I don't want to hurt you, Salome. I've had trouble too, but the theater is
00:50:45no place to start life again. You don't belong here.
00:50:48Why, this is all very fine. It is like Paris, a little.
00:50:53You were saying you'd do anything if I'd go straight?
00:50:57Yes, anything.
00:50:59Then come home with me, to Virginia. I want to take you out of all this.
00:51:03None of this is any good. None of it. You know it.
00:51:06Oh, Cleve.
00:51:10Yes?
00:51:12This is a painting by Mr. Dimitrioff. Put it here.
00:51:26What in tarnation?
00:51:28What a city. Russians, chasseurs. A Rembrandt. It is just like the Arabian
00:51:34Nights. Max, Max!
00:51:37What is it? What is happening?
00:51:38Max, look, look.
00:51:41Him. It's a Rembrandt. Rembrandt himself. And it's authentic.
00:51:47Yes, all of life, all of art, all of sorrow.
00:51:51So he got it?
00:51:52Got it?
00:51:53Sure, the colonel bought the Rembrandt. A little present for you.
00:51:55A dirty old bar fly with a tam-o-shanta? Say, how much is a thing like that worth?
00:52:00Probably $50,000.
00:52:01Uh-oh.
00:52:02See what he's got to say.
00:52:03The old guy in the picture? He says he could sure do with a drink.
00:52:06So could I. The colonel wants us all to do him the honor of coming to dinner.
00:52:10Well, we'll eat him out of house and home.
00:52:41Like Viennese wine. And how I'd fill with a thrill when he'd say my love be mine.
00:53:07How long, how long ago when we saw the damp new floor?
00:53:21Just a boy, a girl, a moon sharing dreams that are rendered from all too soon.
00:53:42River of blue, genu by nu, when I think of you, I think of him too.
00:54:09The sound of his voice, the touch of his hand, the love on his face is embraced.
00:54:33Just a few glad notes will last.
00:54:53Wonderful, wonderful, my dear U.S. of Pearl.
00:54:56I'm really proud of you.
00:54:57And this is only the beginning.
00:55:03And so grand and gilded a cage.
00:55:06Why, you talk just like my granddaddy.
00:55:08And was he from China, laddie?
00:55:10No, sir, he was from Scotland.
00:55:12Oh, Scotland, where I took my medical degree and learned.
00:55:16And here I am, a practicing metaphysician at the court of this fabulous man, Dmitrioff.
00:55:23I'm so thrilled.
00:55:25Surely I must be home in Vienna.
00:55:27Colonel Dmitrioff, you are a magician.
00:55:29Mademoiselle Anna Maria, it is a privilege to welcome the great artist.
00:55:32My dear, you were enchanting.
00:55:39I wish to put you at your ease, Mademoiselle, by saying that a city which has thrown itself at the feet of Lola Montez has capitulated without firing a shot.
00:55:48You're very kind.
00:55:50In opera, it is a tragedy that the voice grows in proportion to the bust, but with this slender creature.
00:55:59Move home in parvo.
00:56:01Oh, how marvelous is your perspicacity.
00:56:04I can readily see that you are a woman of discernment, as the Greeks so aptly put it.
00:56:09Just a moment, Plato.
00:56:19I knew that rapper was genuine Sumatra.
00:56:22My dear.
00:56:23And so in the restaurant, I could not possibly exchange shots with your Captain Blunt.
00:56:27Indeed, I am grateful to him.
00:56:28Yes, my nephew Captain Blunt's a fine lad.
00:56:31And where did the lady meet him?
00:56:33Why, uh...
00:56:34Oh, he was confederate attache to the Habsburg court in Vienna.
00:56:38And when I was forced to leave my country, Captain Blunt was good enough to...
00:56:42You see, she's so charming that when she babbles your press agents make believe, she almost makes me believe it.
00:56:49This ex-bandit will never be prosecuted as long as he has me for a friend.
00:56:53Ex-bandit? Why, Colonel, you must be misinformed.
00:56:56Now, now, Mr. Steed.
00:56:58You see, Dr. Ling keeps me very well informed.
00:57:04What do you propose to do?
00:57:06The boy befriended us, and the last dollar I have is at his service.
00:57:09Exactly, the last dollar.
00:57:11I propose to befriend him.
00:57:13I've already taken up the matter with the Butterfield stage line.
00:57:16You're all right, Colonel.
00:57:18I can't tell you how happy this makes me.
00:57:21Then come, my dear. Let's have champagne and celebrate.
00:57:24Champagne, please.
00:57:25Yes, sir.
00:57:28And now, ladies and gentlemen, let's all drink a toast to beautiful Anna Maria.
00:57:34Her star is in ascendance.
00:57:36May it ever shine with increasing brilliance.
00:57:42Young lassie is not for you.
00:57:45Dimitrioff has seen her, and he will be bound to have her.
00:57:49My Scotch ancestry won't allow me to give up easily.
00:57:54Mr. Steed, I'm greatly disturbed.
00:57:58Look, we have a lovely woman, temperamental and willful,
00:58:03who sees in her present cavalier the image of one she once loved.
00:58:06Now, until his future is settled,
00:58:08he will not be able to marry her.
00:58:10He will not be able to marry her.
00:58:12He will not be able to marry her.
00:58:14He will not be able to marry her.
00:58:16He will not be able to marry her.
00:58:18He will not be able to marry her.
00:58:21Now, until his future is settled,
00:58:23how can I plan her life?
00:58:24How can I build a great theater?
00:58:26How can I transplant that genius of the ballet
00:58:29into the harsh soil of the new world?
00:58:32Well, if you could have Cleve pardoned
00:58:33and given a post of shotgun messenger on the Butterfield line,
00:58:36you'd go a long way toward clearing the air.
00:58:38Yes, but not have him pardoned
00:58:41and returned to Virginia.
00:58:43Because he wouldn't agree to go.
00:58:45Look.
00:58:51Yes, I can well see why he wants to stay where he is.
00:58:54You're growing rather jealous of him, Colonel Dimitrioff.
00:59:00My good friend, we need the wisdom of the East.
00:59:03I am aware of the dilemma.
00:59:05I was about to suggest that a young man be given a post
00:59:07on the line between Fresno and San Francisco.
00:59:10That will still not remove him from the scene.
00:59:12To do that would destroy your chances forever, Colonel.
00:59:15I'm afraid so.
00:59:17My man, you'd commit the sin of King David in the Old Testament.
00:59:21But to give the young man a post
00:59:22where he was neither near nor far...
00:59:24Would be the end of mystery and romance.
00:59:26My dear Dr. Ling, you're wonderful.
00:59:28The next item on the agenda of our consular war
00:59:31is how to get rid of Major Steed there.
00:59:34Any suggestions, Major?
00:59:37Well, Dr. Ling, if your information is correct
00:59:39and I have the wisdom of the East,
00:59:41I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of him.
00:59:44Well, Dr. Ling, if your information is correct
00:59:46and Von Bolen is on his way here,
00:59:48maybe that he will perform that duty for you.
00:59:50Alas, Major Steed, business before pleasure.
00:59:53And I claim the honor of handling that Prussian in my own way.
00:59:56It will require the utmost alertness
00:59:59and vigilance on all our parts to protect our Anna Maria.
01:00:04In spying on their intrigues,
01:00:06she has incurred the highest penalty.
01:00:09To revenge a conceit is without mercy.
01:00:12And the blood of this girl is the only thing
01:00:15that will restore the glory of the Count Von Bolen.
01:00:20I knew Dr. Ling would find a solution.
01:00:22I hope it works. I'm anxious to get started with the show.
01:00:25You must remember, John.
01:00:27Well, never have I seen such conspirators.
01:00:30You would think they'd been planning a hold-up instead of a ballet.
01:00:33I never looked like that when I planned my hold-ups.
01:00:35Oh, but that is all over now.
01:00:37Yes, I've arranged a full pardon for your boyish escapades.
01:00:42Oh, that's mighty nice of you, Colonel.
01:00:44I've also arranged a post for you, a shotgun messenger,
01:00:47on the very same stagecoach as you used to rob.
01:00:49You have, eh?
01:00:50Indeed, I have.
01:00:51You think I'll now begin to shoot my old friends.
01:00:54I'm not ready to turn my cook yet.
01:00:56I'd rather go back to robbing.
01:01:00Well, gentlemen,
01:01:02you must think of some other way to take him from me.
01:01:05Lassie.
01:01:13I trust you believe in me as a friend.
01:01:16Oh, dear Dr. Ling, I cherish your friendship greatly.
01:01:20Your teachings have cleared my mind of many doubts and fears.
01:01:24Then I must endeavor to make you see clearly
01:01:27why it is sometimes better that a wise woman adapt herself to circumstances.
01:01:32As water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it.
01:01:43Never try to reform the choice of a lady's heart, gentlemen.
01:01:47Unless you can succeed in making her believe
01:01:50that she has been the instrument of this reformation.
01:01:53Well, that reformation shouldn't be difficult.
01:01:55With your wisdom and Demetrius' generosity.
01:01:58And the lady's talent.
01:02:28Come here.
01:02:36Hello, Jack.
01:02:37Hi, boys.
01:02:40What's on your mind, fellas?
01:02:41We need you, Cleve.
01:02:42It's the biggest thing we've ever come across.
01:02:44There's a pile in it for everybody.
01:02:46How'd you get word to me?
01:02:47We heard the Butterfield line was gonna grant you a pardon
01:02:49at the request of the Russian government.
01:02:51What's the job?
01:02:54Chinese junk has dropped anchor out there.
01:02:57It's a deal with Sokin Jade.
01:03:00Met one of her crew last night. We had a few drinks together.
01:03:02He's coming in on a deal with us.
01:03:04We're gonna knock it off and sail her to Panama.
01:03:06Piracy on the high seas. Ain't that something?
01:03:08Yeah. Yeah, that's something.
01:03:10We want you in on it.
01:03:11What's holding us?
01:03:12Nothing.
01:03:13We got it all planned.
01:03:14Come on, boys.
01:03:28I'll go below and bring up the captain.
01:03:30You stay here and take care of the crew.
01:03:31Remember, no killing.
01:03:33Don't worry.
01:03:34We'll keep him alive to sail the ship.
01:03:57That's my boy.
01:04:16Put him up, mister.
01:04:19You look too saintly to kill.
01:04:21Come in, Larry.
01:04:24And repent your sinful ways.
01:04:26Dr. Lee.
01:04:35You heard me tell you to get him up.
01:04:37Yes.
01:04:39I'll get him up.
01:04:41I know.
01:04:42Would you rob me, laddie?
01:04:45I heard here a poem written by a man 2,000 years ago
01:04:49in praise of a peach tree which bloomed in his garden.
01:04:52And who would rob the peach tree of its blossoms, laddie?
01:04:56The wind does that every spring.
01:04:59You're going to lead me to the captain of this ship.
01:05:01He's right behind you.
01:05:04A queer contraption the crossbow, laddie,
01:05:07but it strikes a blow that kills as dead as a bullet.
01:05:10What's coming off you?
01:05:11Where are Jed and my friend?
01:05:13Look through the porthole, laddie.
01:05:23So, it was a frame-up.
01:05:25And you're sorry?
01:05:26No, I'm not sorry.
01:05:28Each of your friends has been freed and told to mend his ways.
01:05:32What way are you going, laddie?
01:05:34What way have I ever taken but the wrong way?
01:05:36Whenever I stood before two roads, I took the wrong one.
01:05:39You were offered the right one, laddie.
01:05:41To turn against my old friends?
01:05:43The right road is always the hard one.
01:05:45The right road is always the hard one.
01:05:47The right road is always the hard one.
01:05:49The right road is always the hard one.
01:05:52When a man is redeemed, when he begins again,
01:05:55it is never the length of the road that dismays him.
01:05:58No.
01:05:59It is the thought of leaving the old comrades in arms.
01:06:03The thought of going it alone along the bitter path of peace.
01:06:06For you've been bred for war and taught to fight.
01:06:10And taught nothing else.
01:06:12Yes, that's it.
01:06:13I've been fighting since I was 16.
01:06:15But it is a fine thing, laddie, to fight for the right.
01:06:20What is the right?
01:06:21What a true man believes in.
01:06:23I believe in nothing.
01:06:27Not even in Salome?
01:06:36Yes, I believe in her.
01:06:49Dr. Ling, I...
01:07:19THE END
01:07:49So you're part of it too?
01:07:52Yes.
01:07:54Are you angry?
01:07:55No.
01:07:57Nothing matters when I'm with you.
01:08:00No wonder men would die for you.
01:08:02I would rather a man lived.
01:08:04For you?
01:08:05For himself.
01:08:07Cleve, will you promise me...
01:08:08I've promised to love you all my life.
01:08:12I've promised to love you all my life.
01:08:14Cleve, will you promise me...
01:08:15I've promised to love you all my life.
01:08:29If only I could remember you always as you are right now.
01:08:39This is part of me.
01:08:42Maybe it will help you.
01:08:44Maybe it will help you.
01:09:15THE END
01:09:18It was a little way of youth.
01:09:20Give them beauty and you can keep your wisdom.
01:09:36Boy, driving a team like this makes me homesick for Virginia.
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:40Blue smoke crawling around the tobacco box.
01:09:42I haven't thought of anything else for six months.
01:09:44Still, fresh air is better than sitting in jail.
01:09:47Yeah, real educational too.
01:09:50Come on, boys. Here we go.
01:10:09See the dude in the blue coat?
01:10:10It's not a dude.
01:10:11That's a killer gentleman if I ever saw one.
01:10:13Maybe.
01:10:14Ask me if I was sure we'd get to San Francisco in time for...
01:10:17Time for what?
01:10:18Said he wants to be sure he sees Salome on the opening night.
01:10:21Oh, he did, eh?
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:23I guess a famous dancer that way.
01:10:25Dudes flock from everywhere.
01:10:27Killer, huh?
01:10:41THE END
01:10:53Ladies and gentlemen of the company,
01:10:55Mr. Steed wants to speak to you.
01:11:01Folks, it's four in the morning and we open tonight.
01:11:04When it's over, we will have the cream of San Francisco
01:11:07throwing their diamonds on the stage.
01:11:09You've all been wonderful through these six weeks of rehearsal.
01:11:11I'm sorry we've had to keep you so late.
01:11:13I know you're all tired, so go straight home and get some rest.
01:11:15Good night, everybody.
01:11:16Good night, Mr. Steed.
01:11:20Soon as you've changed, I'll be glad to take you to your hotel.
01:11:22Thank you, Jim.
01:11:23But I want to stay and rehearse a few pirouettes.
01:11:25I'm not sure of.
01:11:26But, Leibchen, this is foolish.
01:11:27You have done enough.
01:11:28You need your rest.
01:11:30No, no, Max, don't argue.
01:11:31You know where to begin.
01:11:32Don't worry, Jim.
01:11:33Max will take me home.
01:11:34Good night.
01:11:35Also.
01:11:39Good night.
01:12:10Eric.
01:12:11So, you are surprised?
01:12:13Pleasantly, I hope.
01:12:15Evidently, your clever friends did not expect me so soon.
01:12:18You have no hold on me here.
01:12:20I have come from Washington.
01:12:21Through our influence, the diplomatic difficulties have been cleared.
01:12:24You are returning with me to Berlin.
01:12:26She is not a subject of the Prussian king.
01:12:29Washington does not send back political refugees.
01:12:32Yes, that is what America is made of.
01:12:37The homeless ones with talent and courage.
01:12:40This is not a political matter.
01:12:42It is a more serious offense.
01:12:44I have powerful friends who can have you thrown out of this city.
01:12:48If your Russian attempts to interfere, the Tsar will recall him to St. Petersburg.
01:12:52Dr. Schultz, our counsel, has already offered Colonel Dimitrov the alternative of a recall.
01:12:57Kleines Liebchen, how could you have betrayed me after we have been so close?
01:13:02You gave me every reason to believe I did not displease you.
01:13:05And even now, you need not return to Berlin if you will come away with me.
01:13:10I will give you everything that you have here with your Russian or this Herstie.
01:13:18Well, you have my proposal.
01:13:21You must make the decision.
01:13:23The decision is that you leave here and go back where you came from, alone.
01:13:28Cleve, he was...
01:13:29Never mind, I've heard enough.
01:13:31When you're ready, I'll see you safely home.
01:13:33Come, Liebchen.
01:13:38Anna.
01:13:40I will be in the audience tonight.
01:13:43Leading your clack.
01:13:45Get out.
01:13:47Another member of the club.
01:13:49Well, I don't blame you. Many men love her.
01:13:52Where I come from, we defend a lady's name.
01:13:54Oh, Cleve, Cleve, darling, please.
01:13:55Go in there.
01:13:56Come, Liebchen, it's best.
01:13:59I'll get rid of your honey.
01:14:04Oh.
01:14:12Only a coward would take advantage of an unarmed opponent.
01:14:17You are right.
01:14:18She is worth fighting for.
01:14:21But I cannot cross swords with a mere boy.
01:14:24Don't worry.
01:14:25We had a French fencing master in our regiment.
01:14:29All right.
01:14:31We will see how much you remember.
01:14:40That was quick.
01:14:41You would make a good student of the sword.
01:14:44Now let us see if you remember the second riposte from a high thrust.
01:14:54Max, Max, we must stop them.
01:14:55What can we do?
01:15:01So, you got that far in your lessons.
01:15:03That is good.
01:15:04If you are as accomplished in your lovemaking, you are indeed a rival.
01:15:08Where you're going, you won't have a rival.
01:15:10Where you're going, you won't have a rival.
01:15:40Ah.
01:16:10Ah.
01:16:40Cleve.
01:16:42Cleve.
01:16:43Cleve.
01:16:49Cleve.
01:16:50Cleve.
01:16:51You mustn't run away.
01:16:52You must stay here.
01:16:54Oh, you're hurt.
01:16:56It's my fault.
01:16:58I swear that I killed him.
01:17:00And we'll face it together.
01:17:04When I walk out of here, I'll never see you again.
01:17:07Cleve.
01:17:10When I walk out of here, rid myself of you,
01:17:13I'm going back where I belong.
01:17:15No, no, Cleve.
01:17:16I'm going back to Virginia with you.
01:17:18No, not Virginia.
01:17:20I'm going back to the road.
01:17:38Knock, knock, knock.
01:17:46Hello, Jed.
01:17:47Hello, Cleve.
01:17:48Is this the Don Quixote you were telling me about?
01:17:50Yeah.
01:17:51Looks like he's just been thrown out of his castle.
01:17:53Maybe he needs a drink, huh?
01:17:56Get out.
01:18:05What's wrong, Cleve?
01:18:07I had to kill a man.
01:18:09Are there any witnesses?
01:18:11Yeah, a girl.
01:18:14Can you trust her?
01:18:17I don't want to.
01:18:19Now you're coming to your senses.
01:18:22Looks like it's a case of my head ain't hurt, but my heart's plumb broke, huh?
01:18:27Yeah, that's what it amounts to.
01:18:29How soon will the news get out?
01:18:31It should be out right now.
01:18:32We've got to get away.
01:18:33The Butterfield coach will be standing in the stables right now,
01:18:35waiting for the driver to take her out on the morning run to Fresno.
01:18:37You want to hold her up?
01:18:38No, steal her out.
01:18:39Take her as far as she'll go.
01:18:40Towards where?
01:18:42Virginia.
01:19:04That's a lovely bonnet.
01:19:06Take it off.
01:19:07I will buy you a better one tomorrow.
01:19:09I will not be here tomorrow.
01:19:11I'm going to follow Cleve.
01:19:12He's in the stagecoach, far away.
01:19:15You can't stop me.
01:19:16Can't I?
01:19:17Try and hire a carriage.
01:19:20Dimitrioff.
01:19:22What's the matter?
01:19:24I don't know.
01:19:26I don't know.
01:19:28I don't know.
01:19:30I don't know.
01:19:32Dimitrioff.
01:19:34You've always been so generous.
01:19:36Surely now when Cleve is wounded, hunted, lost...
01:19:38Not badly wounded.
01:19:40Hunted, yes.
01:19:41But lost?
01:19:43Don't worry.
01:19:44I shall find him.
01:19:47I knew you'd find him and bring him back to me.
01:19:49I shall find him for you.
01:19:51After you have conquered San Francisco tonight,
01:19:53with all your fire and beauty.
01:19:56Do you think I'd go before those footlights again?
01:19:58Never.
01:20:00Leibchen, how can you leave us on an opening night?
01:20:03I saw the corpse, Colonel.
01:20:04What a handsome man he must have been.
01:20:06Madam Europe, you will help me find Cleve.
01:20:08My dear, it's just another bad penny.
01:20:10Why don't you rest before you dance?
01:20:13I can't dance.
01:20:15Now look here, dearie.
01:20:16I went on in Vicksburg.
01:20:17Sixteen calls after the final curtain.
01:20:19And there was my husband dead.
01:20:21Beneath the Subret's dressing table.
01:20:22No one can keep me here.
01:20:24I'll take to the road.
01:20:25I'll sing in every dance hall.
01:20:27In every saloon until I find Cleve.
01:20:32You'll sing here tonight.
01:20:33And you'll dance too.
01:20:35Or I'll make Cleve dance for you.
01:20:38But I'll make him dance on the end of a rope.
01:20:51Leibchen, do you realize...
01:20:52Max, nothing can change my decision.
01:20:55Anna.
01:20:57Every woman has weapons she must employ...
01:20:59in her battle against the world.
01:21:01You're a good woman, Salome.
01:21:03If you can make this audience throw itself at your feet tonight...
01:21:05you'll be a great woman.
01:21:07Jim.
01:21:09If I were to follow you for the rest of my life...
01:21:11I should wish to be a great woman.
01:21:14But there's another way I must take.
01:21:16And it means more to me than my career.
01:21:21If Cleve will only read what is in my heart...
01:21:24he will know...
01:21:25and be there waiting.
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:30To lead you out of my life.
01:21:32And out of your world.
01:21:33Our world.
01:21:37We're both part of the same pattern.
01:21:40Each important to the other.
01:21:44I'm sorry, Jim.
01:21:47But I shall never dance again.
01:21:52She was always a great artist.
01:21:56But above all...
01:21:57a woman.
01:22:00Dr. Ling.
01:22:01You will find Cleve for me.
01:22:03Be patient, child.
01:22:04Fate in the form of three must not delay.
01:22:26Somebody's following us.
01:22:27Looks like the Black Mariah.
01:22:30Hup, Joe!
01:22:45Pull up when we get to the other side of the bridge.
01:22:56Hey, we're gonna need that explosion...
01:22:57when they're gonna blow up the Fresno safe.
01:22:58Right now, we got more important news for them.
01:23:00They'll stop that Russian.
01:23:05Arnold, it looks like they've got us stopped.
01:23:07Sheriff, you give up too easily.
01:23:08Move over.
01:23:18Just ahead is the horseshoe turn.
01:23:20The road doubles back...
01:23:21and runs parallel with this ridge.
01:23:23That gives me an idea.
01:23:37Now, get your gun ready.
01:23:41Stop!
01:23:42You're under arrest!
01:23:54Stop!
01:24:20Well, I can't say I blame you, Colonel.
01:24:22Resumptuous idiot.
01:24:23You killed that Prussian...
01:24:24just to gain favor with the woman I love.
01:24:26They're gonna have her.
01:24:27Let's go, Sheriff.
01:24:28Just a minute, Sheriff.
01:24:29I don't think you've played this thing...
01:24:30according to oil, Colonel.
01:24:31Do not blame me, Mr. Steele, for what I do.
01:24:34Come on, Sheriff.
01:24:35I hope you know what you're doing, Colonel.
01:24:36I've always been a great lover of beauty.
01:24:39I love the beauty of cities,
01:24:40of lights on the water,
01:24:42of beautiful women.
01:24:47Get in there.
01:24:49When a man loves a woman half his age,
01:24:52there must be three great qualities in his love.
01:24:55Generosity,
01:24:57tenderness,
01:24:59and generosity.
01:25:01You see, Mr. Steele,
01:25:03I also love a beautiful ending.
01:25:19Get to the handcuffs.
01:25:25Where did you tell him to go?
01:25:26Virginia.
