00:00This is a production of the U.S. Department of State.
00:30This is a production of the U.S. Department of State.
00:48Is everything quite clear to you now, Winthrop?
00:50You have the surveys, the maps, and my letters of instruction.
00:53I'll start negotiating at once.
00:55Cable me as soon as you arrive in London.
00:57I shall follow your instructions to the letter, Sir Henry.
01:00The money shall be transferred to your account here at the Merchant's Bank.
01:04I'll see the attorney Rontel. I think I'll use his services.
01:07Very good. Cheerio.
01:09I know this syndicate back home will be mighty proud of what you've done.
01:12Thanks, Winthrop, and a very pleasant journey to you.
01:15Oh, cheerio.
01:35Why, yes, but I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making your acquaintance.
01:43Oh, I'm delighted to meet you, sir. Won't you sit down?
01:47Why, yes, I thank you.
01:49You've been in this country a long time, haven't you, Mr. Rontel?
01:52Yes, quite some time.
01:54I enjoy the confidence of and take care of most of the matters for the ranchers in this facility.
01:58That, Mr. Rontel, is exactly what brings me here.
02:01You've been very highly recommended to me.
02:04Thank you. I'll endeavor to live up to my recommendations.
02:07What is your trouble or difficulty?
02:10Oh, no trouble at all. Quite to the contrary.
02:13My associates in the British Continental are definitely prepared to make a very large investment here.
02:20It would seem that you are the legal link to our chain.
02:24I am at your service.
02:26We have guarded our findings very carefully.
02:28Of course, our clients must be protected at all costs.
02:31Naturally.
02:32I believe you comprehend, Mr. Rontel.
02:34Thoroughly. You may proceed in all confidence.
02:37My dear fellow, splendid.
02:45Let me see.
02:47Ah, here.
02:49Now then, this is the district in which we are definitely interested.
02:54Now, my survey shows that along here and down to this point...

04:22What are we going to do?
04:24That's right. Where are we going to go?
04:26Just a minute, boy.
04:27Hayden, we've got to have a showdown.
04:29This place isn't fit for a decent man to live in.
04:31We were living in a peaceful community, but that's all changed.
04:35Something has got to be done.
04:37Well, that's all very well for you to say, Hayden.
04:39But how can you fight something you can't see?
04:41You're right about that.
04:42We can't go on living in fear and terror.
04:45Our neighbor, Jim Bell, shot down without a chance to defend himself.
04:49But we haven't been able to find one clue pertaining to the guilty party.
04:53Well, if this thing continues, I'm for selling out and pulling steak.
04:56It's mighty queer we can't get to the bottom of this.
04:58What's a sheriff doing?
05:01Come, come now, gentlemen.
05:03You're being very unfair in your criticism of the sheriff.
05:06Especially since he isn't here to defend himself.
05:09I'm positive that he can be depended upon to not only enforce the law,
05:13but to bring the culprits to justice.
05:15I'm itching to see the man that done this hang into the end of a rope.
05:18Uh, set him up, Bill.
05:20Okay. Come on, boys. What's the name of your poison?
05:23Quit.
05:24Action.
05:25Morning.
05:26The wake of the mill is calling.
05:29Early in the shining dawn so fair.
05:35Jogging along, singing a song.
05:40Is a cowboy on a lonely trail.
05:46He sings to the rhythm of his Polish feet.
05:51As they grind along o'er the sand.
05:56A tune about the roundup of the doggies in the spring.
06:02A song of his lonely western land.
06:07Carefree and happy, this cowboy of the west.
06:13Heading far in the home range, a race that he loves best.
06:18There's victory on his smiling face, he knows that he won't fail.
06:23When riding his old pony down a lonely trail.
06:29Evening shadows falling, and winter is gone.
06:33Music makes you kind of homesick, doesn't it?
06:35Yeah. I wish I was home with Miguel.
06:38What home and what gal?
06:40None of your business.
06:42That reminds me.
06:43Are we in the business of raising and selling beef for money,
06:46or excitement?
06:48Well, wherever there's money, there's excitement.
06:50Say, where are we drifting to?
06:53Over to the Pecos Valley.
06:55That's all right. I got a gal over there.
06:58Well, maybe you'll get a home, too.
07:00Yeah, so you can move in.
07:02Ha, ha, ha.
07:04Come on.
07:16Hello, Sheffield.
07:46You're making it necessary for me to visit you quite often.
07:50Now, we can avoid all this if you'll do just as I say.
07:58Are you ready to sign this?
08:04I won't do it.
08:10Are you going to force me to make you sign?
08:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
08:58Hup Hup
09:01Ha ha ha ha
09:05It's like we've got about five miles to go
09:07When we hit the lower country, we'll try to make a deal. What do you think? What's the use of me thinking?
09:13That's what I thought
09:28Something is wrong. Hayden should have passed through here long ago. What do we do? The
09:43boss has ordered us to get him. Looks like Taro knows something. Just cross side of
09:55Hayden. He's taking the old road.
10:25Looks like trouble. Wonder who's right and who's wrong. I'm lending the old man a hand.
11:22Go get the other one.
11:52Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro? Taro?
12:19Taro?
12:49He's gone.
13:16Taro?
13:30Damn it!
14:00Stop that gun and reach. I said reach.
14:27Do you want to talk or do you want to keep the information for where you're going? It's kind of hard to talk when you ain't got nothing to talk about. But you seem to find words mighty easy. Somebody's gonna get hurt and I'm looking at who I mean. Where's your partner? Right here, gentlemen.
14:50Get over there. Now don't make another move. I don't aim to hurt nobody, but we just can't pay for another's losing. Now if you'll talk sense and do a little experience.
15:19And do a little explaining. Maybe we can get somewhere. Hold it, stranger. All right, boys. If it wasn't for this man, I wouldn't be here.
15:47Daddy, are you all right? Where have you been? Why didn't you wait for me in town? Well, you told me to go... Excuse me, Miss Jones. Charlie, did you send your daughter where to go to Jones's? No. Well, I knew it was a trick when she told me, so we rode over here to head you off. John, they killed Porter. Martin, look after the buckboard, will you? Yes, sir. This man saved my life. I'm afraid in my excitement I forgot to thank you, sir. That's all right. I'm sorry I didn't arrive sooner. And I want to thank you, too. I couldn't afford to lose Dad.
16:18What brought you up in these parts, Smith? Just drifting a bunch of cattle through here. That is, me and my partner. You know these men? Very well. Meet Tucson Smith. Or should I say, Two Gun Smith. And his partner is Tony Martin. My daughter, Jones. Pleased to meet you. Thank you. Staying or drifting, Smith?
16:41That all depends. On what? The price of beef. That's right, Tucson. We understand the paying top prices around here, and there's no time like the present to make a deal. How many head have you got? Five hundred and ten now.
16:58Oh, I guess we can make a deal, all right. And if we do, are you staying or drifting? That all depends. I can make it interesting for you if you stay on. We've been having a lot of trouble. Well, wherever there's trouble, you usually find Tucson Smith.
17:20Mr. Hayden, just how do you get to your ranch from here? Well, you go straight down the canyon trail. You can't miss it. All right, Stoney, you better get the stock moving. Right, Putter. Sheriff, there's three of your ex-citizens lying over there. I thought maybe the law might be interested. Well, the law sure will be.
17:50I told you never to come here in the daytime. But I had to come. They just got Foster, Peters, and Marks. What about Hayden? We got Porter, and would have gotten Hayden, but a pair of strangers cut down on us.
18:18And one of them was the best lead slinger I ever saw. I was lucky to get away. Lucky for Hayden, you mean? Taro, you're riding across the border. You know where to go. Get Saunders and his men here at midnight. Yes, sir. Taro! You come back with them.
18:48Yes, sir.
19:00Boys, I'm not mentioning names, but some fellows are just naturally handsome. Pardon me. Dad would like you and Mr. Martin to have supper with us. Thank you. Hey, are you staying or drifting? I'll explain that to you later. That's what I thought.
19:30Hello, boys. Mr. Hayden and his most charming daughter are to be my guests for dinner tomorrow night. After a very enjoyable evening, they will be leaving for home, oh, say about ten o'clock.
20:01There will be no mistakes this time. Do I make myself clear? We understand you.
20:22What's the matter, Taro? You better count me out on this one, Rontel. I have been most generous in my remuneration, that's the pay, gentlemen, for the services that I have received. So, Taro, if you'll just step into the other room, I'll pay you off.
20:46Well, that'll be all right with me. Help yourselves, gentlemen.
21:16To tomorrow night.
21:23Well, you certainly look charming this evening, Miss Hayden. And that dress certainly radiates your lovely personality. I don't know when I've ever seen you looking quite so beautiful.
21:37Thank you, Mr. Rontel. Haven't you forgotten something, Daddy?
21:41I'm sorry. Mr. Rontel, I took the liberty of inviting these two gentlemen to supper inasmuch as they're interested in our situation. There's something we wish to discuss with you later. Meet Mr. Smith.
21:54Glad to know you, sir.
21:56And Mr. Martin.
21:57It's a pleasure, gentlemen. Won't you be seated?
22:26Pancho, the wine.
22:41Mr. Rontel, if you'll excuse me, I'm kind of an observant cuss, and it seems to me I've seen a thing just like that one hanging in a place across the border. In fact, just like that one.
22:57Smith, what was the name of that hangout?
23:03What he means is that you have a right nice layout. That is pleasant to look at.
23:08Oh, I see. Thanks. It's a hobby of mine.
23:37Mr. Rontel.
24:06Mr. Rontel, your house and ranch are so peaceful and quiet. It's a pleasure to spend the evening here.
24:12That's right, Miss Hayden. This peaceful valley reminds me of when a fellow's riding along alone, and he beds down for a good night's sleep, when suddenly he's attacked by a pack of wolves.
24:23But a wolf is always a gentleman. He howls to let you know he's a coming.
24:28That's very true.
24:30You know, Smith and his partner were on their way here to sell me a bunch of cattle.
24:34Fortunately for me, they arrived just in time to save my life.
24:39Well, that was splendid of you, Smith. I feel that we all owe you a vote of thanks.
24:45He means so much to the success of this valley.
24:49He must mean a lot to whoever's gunning for him.
24:52I've asked Smith and his partner to go to work for me. I figured that being total strangers here, they might learn the identity of the killers.
25:01I think that's a splendid idea. They might be able to find out something.
25:06Just how did these killings occur, Mr. Hayden?
25:10I told you about that, but here's something that I didn't.
25:13The men who were killed own ranches parallel with mine.
25:17They've been after me for some time. This is the fourth open attempt to get me.
25:22They seem to learn in advance every move I make.
25:26Then somebody close to you is tipping them off. Who could that be?
25:30Surely not one of my own men. They're all like sons to me.
25:36We've discussed that, haven't we, Mr. Rontel?
25:39Yes, from all angles.
25:41I may be a little thick, pardon me, but would you mind discussing it again?
25:46Oh, well, your suspicions of Mr. Hayden's men are baseless, Mr. Smith.
25:51I think it's a waste of time.
25:53Well, maybe it is, but I've got lots of it and I'm willing to invest a little.
25:57After Mr. Bell was killed, Rontel bought his ranch.
26:01We stationed several men there, but no further raids have occurred.
26:05And I thought it might be a good idea if I purchased Mrs. Porter's ranch and placed several of our men there.
26:12That's a waste of time. What about the law?
26:15They're doing all they can.
26:17Then why not resort to the other law?
26:20What law?
26:21What law?
26:22The law of the 45s.
26:26Shall we discuss this after dinner?
26:30I thought men stoned it right in the...
26:32Yesterday, when I was in the Four Aces, I mentioned, sort of confidential-like to a fellow,
26:37that the next time we rode into town, that we was coming through the new road in Pine Canyon.
26:42If it reaches the right ears, we might learn something.
26:45I hope so.
26:51Well, I'll be seeing you.
27:21I'll be seeing you.
27:51Get him and cover him on the other side.
28:52Do you have a gun?
28:54I do.
28:55Runs with that Vincent gang across the border.
28:57Now we're getting someplace.
29:21Come on.
29:52Well, hello, boys. Glad to see you.
29:55What do you got on your mind?
29:56Uh, something happened.
29:57We just told Mr. Hayden about it, and he said we should come over and tell you.
30:00What happened?
30:01Uh, we were on our way to town through Pine Canyon, and three umbers tried to dry gulch us.
30:06And?
30:07We left them there.
30:09You see, uh, we recognize one of them.
30:12He's a member of the Vincent gang that runs across the border.
30:14We thought we'd ride over and see what we could find out.
30:17Don't you think that's a good plan?
30:19Why, yes.
30:20Splendid.
30:21But I'd be very careful.
30:23Oh, we'll be careful, all right.
30:25I'll wait here for you and see what you find out.
30:27Much obliged.
30:29Thanks.
30:31I'll wait here for you and see what you find out.
30:33Much obliged.
30:35Thanks.
31:01Let me come now.
31:31How's my hair?
31:43Now I reckon.
31:47Hey, try that on him.
31:56Little drink?
32:02What do you want to drink, gentlemen?
32:04Bourbon.
32:05Very good.
32:16Have a good time, Schmidt.
32:18It's going to be your last.
32:31Get him! Get him!
32:57Well, it worked.
32:59What we found out tonight is our business.
33:01Remember that, Stoney.
33:02Say, you got enough evidence on that bird to throw down on him now?
33:05Yeah, but what does a good cow puncher do in a roundup?
33:08He gathers in all the mavericks, don't he?
33:30¶ Though she's far away
33:35¶ I'll see her someday
33:39¶ And tomorrow I'm going to start
33:46¶ Down that lonely trail that's winding
33:56¶ Through the desert sand
34:04Oh, the stars look beautiful tonight, aren't they?
34:07Sure are.
34:09Kind of sets you to thinking.
34:11Thinking of what?
34:12Oh, home and the fine things in life.
34:16Where is your home?
34:18I haven't any.
34:19I don't even remember my mother.
34:21Oh, I'm sorry.
34:23And your father?
34:25He's dead, too.
34:27See, I've just kind of shuffled around from place to place,
34:31making my home wherever I unsaddle.
34:34I've looked at the stars so much that we kind of talk to each other.
34:39Well, haven't you ever thought of settling down
34:42and building up something in one place?
34:45Yeah, and I've tried it, too,
34:47but something always happens to tear down what I try to build.
34:53Poets sure sing pretty, don't they?
34:55Uh-huh.
34:56Dad loves singing.
34:58Whenever a new cowhead joins our ranch,
35:00Dad's more interested in his voice than his skill with a rope.
35:04Well, I'd better learn to sing, hadn't I?
35:08That's one of my favorite songs.
35:10Hello, Daddy.
35:14¶ Oh, shall we go home
35:19¶ Beside the sun that reigns ¶
35:32I brought Joe Sanchez,
35:33and if there's a man alive who can match guns with him,
35:36I never heard of him.
35:38Good. I'll talk to him.
35:46All right.
35:49Let's go.
35:57Joe, this is Mr. Rontel, the man I told you about.
36:01¿Cómo está, señor?
36:03How are you?
36:04Are the arrangements satisfactory, Sanchez?
36:08The deal is all right, but...
36:10But what?
36:12Who are these men I come for?
36:15You don't have to worry about that.
36:17I'll go through the arrangements and point them out to you.
36:20It looks funny.
36:23You're not worried or afraid, are you, Sanchez?
36:27Joe Sanchez worried? Afraid?
36:30That's very funny.
36:32¡Qué listo!
36:35I think, señor, it cost you double to do the job now.
36:43Well, if that's it, that's it.
36:48Thank you, señor, thank you.
36:51¡Qué bueno!
36:53We'd better be going.
37:17They're here. ¡Qué bueno!
37:47Easy, Stoney.
38:18Hold on, Tucson.
38:20There's nobody here looking for trouble.
38:24Oh, that was just Stoney's idea of an unusual entrance.
38:28And I'm buying the drinks.
38:30That's unusual.
38:38Hey, meet me at the sheriff's office later.
38:41I'm riding a horse.
38:44Hey, meet me at the sheriff's office later. I'm riding a horse.
38:48I'm riding a horse.
39:12And Sanchez, headed for the border.
39:15Go after him.
39:17If he reaches the border, I'll be looking for you.
39:47Go after him.
40:18Hola, amigo Smith.
40:20Well, that was an unusual meeting in town, Joe.
40:23Especially after our last meeting in Juarez.
40:26I thought then that we understood that you were to ride the straight and narrow.
40:30I am sorry, amigo.
40:32I do not know it is you, or I not take this job.
40:36I never forget you saved my life last time.
40:39Then the promise you made to me in Juarez didn't mean anything.
40:43It does this time.
40:45I know the code of the gang you're running with, Joe.
40:48And do you expect me to believe in you again?
40:51I swear.
40:54All right.
40:57Who paid you to come after me?
41:00All right, amigo Smith. I tell you.
41:03It was...
41:06It was...
41:09It was...
41:13It was...
41:24Joe! Joe!
41:35Dios mio.
41:37Perdóname.
41:39Joe.
41:43Tucson.
41:45You've got enough evidence right now...
41:48for me to make an arrest.
41:50There's two things we've got to find out before we make a move.
41:54And if you'll ride with us, I think we'll come out on top.
41:59Boy, I'll ride with you to the end of the trail.
42:02What's your scheme?
42:04Give me a letter to the banker, so he'll talk freely.
42:07All right. I'll do that.
42:19Smith just went into the bank.
42:21All right. Watch him.
42:26Well, just what is it you would like to know, Mr. Schmidt?
42:30What's that?
42:32Well, just what is it you would like to know, Mr. Schmidt?
42:36What's the amount of Gordon Rontel's account?
42:39His personal account is rather small.
42:42But acting with power of attorney, he has access to very large amounts.
42:46Whose power of attorney?
42:48Well, Sir Henry Sheffield's, representing British Continental.
42:53Were these funds used to purchase the Forbes ranch?
42:56Well, now, that I am not aware of.
42:58But let me explain the arrangement to you.
43:01The amounts, when and as they were remitted from England,
43:04were immediately withdrawn by Mr. Rontel,
43:07through Sheffield's power of attorney.
43:10Do you know where I can locate Mr. Sheffield?
43:13Well, to my knowledge, he has returned to England.
43:16Thank you, Sir. Good day.
43:18Good day, Sir.
43:19I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.
43:21Why, sure. That's all right.
43:23Do you remember some time back selling a ticket to an Englishman
43:26who was returning to England?
43:29Why, sure I do.
43:31But there wasn't one of them. There was two of them.
43:34And those fellows, the way they were talking,
43:37and the way they were spitting out...
43:39Well, I'm not interested in that.
43:41What I want to know is, when did they leave?
43:44Well, they didn't. That is, not the both of them.
43:47One of them left, and the other one stayed here.
43:50Well, are you sure that the other one didn't leave town later?
43:53He sure is. My wife's name is Mary.
43:55They couldn't get out of here without buying a ticket for me.
43:58Thanks.
44:02Smith was at the railroad station, questioning the agent.
44:05He found out Sheffield never left here.
44:13Meet me at my house.
44:15Mosey around, Stoney, and keep your eye on Rontal.
44:46Mr. Hayden, we're planning a showdown.
44:49Gather up all the ranchers you can and seal up this valley.
44:52And let no one in or out, especially Rontal.
44:56Marty!
44:58Go get the boys!
45:05I'll go with you.
45:06I'll go with you.
45:07I'll go with you.
45:08I'll go with you.
45:09I'll go with you.
45:10I'll go with you.
45:11I'll go with you.
45:12I'll go with you.
45:13I'll go with you.
45:14I'll go with you.
45:31They got Stoney! They shot him in the back!
45:33Where is he?
45:34I took him to doctors!
45:44I just stepped up on the sidewalk, this side of the hotel, they got me in the back, that's
46:14all I know. Easy, Stoney. We're still partners, ain't we? We're still partners.
46:44He's bad hit, and it depends on his constitution and the way he'll fight to live. If that's
46:53all it takes, he'll pull through. Sherry, if it's just the same with you, I'd like to
47:01go alone. All right, boy. Come on, Bill.
48:02Now, this man Smith is getting too smart. I've got a new plan, and I want you to listen
48:07and follow it carefully. Now, this is what we're going to do. The Smith is coming.
48:16Wait a minute. Cover everything in the house. Unlock the door, and he'll come inside. It'll be much easier then.
49:01BANG! BANG!
49:31When you turn around, don't have that gun. You've got another one in your pocket that you made a mistake with.
50:02Drop it. I give you 15 seconds to tell me where Sheffield is.
50:14All right. You'll win.
50:26Hey, Tony!
50:41They've got Stoney. Rontel is the man. Rontel? Yes. Smith is going to take him alone.
50:56Mr. Sheffield, if you'll tell me why you were put here, I can clear up things mighty quick.
51:14I'm a geologist representing a British concern sent here to make an investment. I employed
51:21this man Rontel to represent us in the transaction. When he learned what we wanted, he violated
51:27his trust, and this is the result. He forced me to turn over my concerns money to use in his
51:33deviltry. Then you wanted the ranch of Hayden and the properties adjoining. That's right.
51:39Why? I discovered oil. You were pretty ambitious. You wanted that oil for yourself. You terrorized
51:47the community, stopping at nothing. As a good Samaritan, bought up the ranches of your victims.
51:55When your plan was completed, as far as Sheffield was concerned, dead men tell no tales. Rontel,
52:03there are two laws. One, you don't respect. The other, the law of the 45s.
52:33Charlie, I know what's worrying you. You're wondering just who Smith is and what he's
53:03is, on account of Joan. Well, five years ago, the outlaws framed and killed his father,
53:09and he died in the boy's arms. From that night on, he's been a terror to every outlaw that
53:14crossed his path. I guess you and me need a little fixing up. I guess we'll be drifting
53:30pretty soon. Yeah. You know, Tucson, all my life I've wanted to play Santa Claus. Santa
53:42Claus? Yeah. By the way, how is Miss Hayden? I knew that would get you.
53:59Tucson! Are you staying or drifting? That depends.
