00:00This is a production of the U.S. Department of State.
00:30Is 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.
01:16Cheerio.
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.
02:25We have guarded our findings very carefully.
02:28Of course, our clients must be protected at all costs.
02:30Naturally.
02:31I believe you comprehend, Mr. Rontel.
02:33Thoroughly. You may proceed in all confidence.
02:36Splendid, my dear fellow. Splendid.
02:45Let me see.
02:47Ah, here.
02:48Now then, this is the district in which we are definitely interested.
02:53Now, my survey shows that along here and down to this point...
04:06THE END
04:23What are we going to do?
04:24That's right. Where are we going?
04:25Just a minute, boys.
04:26Hayden, we've got to have a showdown.
04:28This 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 stakes.
04:56It's mighty queer we can't get to the bottom of this.
04:58What's a sheriff doing?
04:59Yes, what is a sheriff doing?
05:01Whoa.
05:02Come, 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. Give me your poison.

08:24oh,
08:25Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
08:52hooo!
09:05Looks like we got about five miles to go when we hit the lower country we'll try to make a deal
09:10what do you think? what's use of me thinking?
09:13That's what I thought.
09:39Something is wrong.
09:40Hayden should have passed through here alone.
09:42Well, what do we do? The boss has ordered us to get him.
09:44Looks like Taro knows something.
09:54This course out of Hayden is taking the old road.
10:10Looks like trouble. I wonder who's right and who's wrong.
10:40I'm letting the old man at hand.
11:10Go get the other one.
11:35Over here.
11:41Come on, get up.
12:04Come on, get up.
12:34He's gone.
13:04Up.
13:32Come on, get up.
14:02Stop that gun and reach.
14:27I said reach.
14:38Do you want to talk? Do you want to keep the information for where you're going?
14:41It's kind of hard to talk when you ain't got nothing to talk about.
14:44But you seem to find words mighty easy.
14:46Somebody's going to get hurt and I'm looking at who I mean.
14:49Where's your partner?
14:50Right here, gentlemen.
15:05Get over there.
15:08Don't make another move.
15:11I don't mean to hurt nobody.
15:13But we just can't pay for another's losing.
15:18Now if you'll talk sense and do a little explaining, maybe we can get somewhere.
15:22Hold it, stranger.
15:28All right, boys.
15:30If it wasn't for this man, I wouldn't be here.
15:48Daddy, are you all right?
15:49Where have you been?
15:50Why didn't you wait for me in town?
15:52Well, you told me to go...
15:53Excuse me, Miss Jones.
15:54Charlie, did you send your daughter where to go to Jones's?
15:56No.
15:57Well, I knew it was a trick when she told me.
15:59So we rode over here to head you off.
16:01John, they killed Porter.
16:03Monty, look after the buckboard, will you?
16:05Yes, sir.
16:06This man saved my life.
16:08I'm afraid in my excitement I forgot to thank you, sir.
16:10That's all right.
16:11I'm sorry I didn't arrive sooner.
16:13And I want to thank you, too.
16:15I couldn't afford to lose Dad.
16:19What brought you up in these parts, Smith?
16:21Just drifting a bunch of cattle through here.
16:23That is, me and my partner.
16:25You know these men?
16:26Very well.
16:27Meet Tucson Smith.
16:29Or should I say, Two-Gum Smith.
16:31And his partner is Tony Martin.
16:33My daughter, Jones.
16:35Pleased to meet you.
16:40Stale or drifting, Smith?
16:45That all depends.
16:46On what?
16:47The price of beef.
16:48That's right, Tucson.
16:50We understand they're paying top prices around here,
16:52and there's no time like the present to make a deal.
16:55How many head have you got?
16:56Five hundred and ten now.
17:00Oh, I guess we can make a deal all right.
17:03And if we do, are you staying or drifting?
17:10That all depends.
17:11I can make it interesting for you if you stay on.
17:14We've been having a lot of trouble.
17:16Well, wherever there's trouble, you usually find Tucson Smith.
17:21Mr. Hayden, just how do you get to your ranch from here?
17:24You go straight down the canyon trail.
17:26You can't miss it.
17:27All right, Stoney, you better get the stock moving.
17:29Right, Putter.
17:30Sheriff, there's three of your ex-citizens lying over there.
17:34I thought maybe the law might be interested.
17:36Well, the law sure will be.
17:55I told you never to come here in the daytime.
17:58But I had to come.
18:00They just got Forster, Peters, and Marks.
18:03What about Hayden?
18:06We got Porter, and would have gotten Hayden,
18:08but a pair of strangers cut down on us,
18:10and one of them was the best lead slinger I ever saw.
18:14Well, that's a shame.
18:16Well, that's a shame.
18:18Well, that's a shame.
18:20Well, that's a shame.
18:22The best lead slinger I ever saw.
18:24Well, I was lucky to get away.
18:26Lucky for Hayden, you mean?
18:29Toro, you're riding across the border.
18:34You know where to go.
18:35Get Saunders and his men here at midnight.
18:38Yes, sir.
18:40Toro!
