and find i have a banker for a father now tell me what it's all about well the drought ruined all the ranchers in the basin they needed help and i'm giving it to them i know how you feel but you don't know anything about running a bank oh shucks there's nothing to it all you do is hand out money ain't got no use for and take notes for it it's not as simple as that you've got to know the value of land and cattle all you have to know is the value of men and that's something i do know why all the people in little rock are my friends same old dad this bank of brady's is upset my plans how well i got a deal on with an eastern syndicate they want this entire valley here for an irrigation project i'm going to see the cattle business doesn't recover from the drought that'll take shooting dynamite and rustling that's right that's where you and the boys come in i'll bring in more men to help if necessary [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] that's bob corgan yeah he wasn't full when he said word he was in trouble i'll ride straight at him and you come at him from the side [Applause] it's a lone rider [Applause] [Music] stallone rider [Applause] rocky i was afraid he's gonna let me down hi fuzzy hi your telegram chased us all over the state we came as fast as we could yeah what's the idea flopping around letting these fellas get away we've got other work to do they run off a beef heard that we were counting on to pull us out of a hole we got to round them up now before they run themselves to death the situation's still bad then and getting worse every day it wasn't for dan brady we'd all be broke long ago come on [Music] okay hello ben i got to talk to you dan this is important well there's nothing stopping you sure billy was killed last night oh shot we're calling his body out on the range this morning have you heard anything what's been happening here and there around the basement yes i have and it's got me worried there's something behind it all sure you ain't imagining things no there's just some people that don't want to see other folks get along it means somebody wants to finish what the drought started looks mighty like it dan any idea who it could be no if i did i wouldn't be in here bothering you something's got to be done about this business let's go over and see dorne we've mortgaged our places right up to the hilton but dan here now it's up to the association to give us more protection well we're already doing all we can foster i've doubled the range guards they never seem to be in the right places at the right time well they can't be everywheres at once then let's hire some more that calls for a special assessment on all the members kind of puts it up to you dan i know you've been carrying this to the limit right now but well you see how it is well i mean this thing too deep to turn back now fire your guards i'll cover the assessments you heard what he said dorne those guards as soon as you can i will foster how'd the raid go not so good what happened a lone rider took a hand the long rider yeah we couldn't hold the hurdle that's scattered from here to the border with the lone rider mixing in and brady pouring out money like water we're getting no place fast we'll stop mr brady from doing that with him out of the way the bank will fall so it's up to you hammond to pick an argument with him and force him into a gunfight so whoa honey what brings you in town so early dad did you have an argument with jack hammond last night well yes come to think of it i did but it didn't amount to much oh yes it did he threatened to shoot you on site don't pay any attention to that kind of gossip hammond's a killer dad it's not just wild talk promise me you won't go out in the street today well you know i can't promise that a man has to take his chances in this world if hammond wants to shoot it out with me well that's the way it's got to be no dad no but please oh stop it and there that's the girl i've been through shooting scrapes before i think i can manage another now you skip on home now and i'll be home at 12 on the dock for lunch he'll be ready [Applause] that's my idea too oh looks like gun play all right brady draw grab the guy that said the shooting [Music] hmm whoa that's far enough yeah you're taking a lot for granted me and betsy never do that hey what's the idea that's what i'm asking you i'm harry dorn head of the cattlemen's association well betsy here wants to know what you're after the man you have locked up tech hammock why are you so interested in him well he's one of my men he's charged with murder and damn brady i reckon you have to hire someone else i haven't got time to argue with you you wouldn't do you any good if you had uh betsy he was awful hard to convince now look here you yeah you got him by guys hey rocky yeah put him into the other way what about this door hey now wait hey you want to go with him get in there hey who are these men rocky cameron and fuzzy jones never heard it but well now's a good time to get acquainted rocky harry dorn corrigan here has been telling me a little what you people are up against in the basin and knowing that you go ahead and so two of the best men i have in jail they kill brady without giving him a chance not according to what i heard anyhow who gave you the authority to mix in i did with a shared debt somebody had to take over that's my job i've sent a couple of deputies down here to take over until a new sheriff is appointed does that mean these men will be released we of the cattlemen's association work strictly for law and order judge brandon's in town their trial will be held right away well that's fine i'll go over and tell the judge yeah things sure move kind of fast here in the basin next case before this court is the people voices jack helen and bill davis jack hammond and bill davis stand up you are both accused of willfully murdering dan brady how do you plead no arguably you want to cry by jury or by the court well i'll take my chances with you judge me too sit down and i have the first witness that'll be you corrigan do you see this shooting yes sir both men had guns in their hands yes sir what about davis did you see him no but i think i'm not interested in butts sit down yes sir rocky cameron stand up what do you know about this case i saw the whole thing hammond killed brady while davis was shining a mirror in the banker's eyes can i say something judge sure go ahead well i was using a mirror to get some tobacco out of my eye there was some shooting down the street the next i know there's cameron fellas charging at me throwing lead as fast as he can is that why you hightailed it out of town sure i didn't see any sense staying being killed hey he's a lion judge if rocky says that davis was shooting a mirror into brady's eyes you can bet your bottom door i just what he was doing did you see him doing it uh no but uh i told you i wasn't interested in butts well i know but you're out of order sit down you want anything further to say cameron no seems to be a difference of opinion here do you care to testify ms brady all i know is dad and hammond had an argument that ended with hammond threatening to kill him on site and he did were you a witness to the shooting i was not and i'm afraid your testimony is worthless and will have to be disregarded you saw the shooting dawn at least that's my understanding well uh yes i did your honor just what did you see well brady came from the bank and hammond here uh called him and well they both went for the guns and started to shoot it out did you see anything of davis or any reflection of light hitting brady no i didn't that's all sit down are there any other witnesses please stand and face the court jack hammond it is the court's decision that you killed daniel brady in self-defense but for disturbing the peace you are fined twenty-five dollars in the view of the fact that no murder was committed the charges against you bill davis are dismissed [Applause] court is adjourned this is an outrage let's get out of here [Music] the way that trial turned out i don't know what to think now i definitely believe jordan davis not me dawn probably only saw the actual shooting why didn't he listen to me no blood city why like well you know with brady gone we're gonna need help and lots of it hey let's go make the day there's trouble of some kind the bank closes at three you all know that [Music] now why don't one of you do the talking there's a lot of us here that came from out of town and we want our money you've always gotten it before when you wanted it why the sudden rush we were told that the bank was going under and that you i don't know the room is all around the basin you all knew my father you knew he was honest and that he wouldn't spend the bank's money unless he had first-class security to cover it he counted all you meant his friends ever since the drought he has been helping the rangers with their struggle with our money not with your money with his own in the bank's money the bank has mortgages on every ranch in the base house we want our cash not mortgages ain't that right you'll get your money every dollar when i read that sign i'm not a question sign you're interested in this one read that sign i've had to read it and read it out hours 10 a.m to 3 p.m saturday to 12 noon that's plain enough for anybody to understand tomorrow's saturday the bank will pay off all demands until noon and we depend on that messian you certainly can well come on inside [Music] i can't understand why people should turn against dad like that okay never did well rumors start with people get panicky we haven't enough cash on hand to pay those pokemon then those men were right dad did use their money yes to help us ranchers but you can raise the money by using our mortgages and notes that takes too long well how about your ranches helping out well we've always depended on brady for our cash i don't think we could raise five thousand dollars amongst all of us well at a time like this every little bit will help adam cameron's coming in on the old pony express trail for maverick in the morning now we have the money within for the bank i want you to round up some men and see that he doesn't arrive i'll roll him up right away that's all the cash we could raise miss anne this together with what we have ought to tie us over until rocky gets here maybe that's him now maybe it is and maybe it isn't wait a minute folks now there's plenty of money coming in from maverick and if you all just hold your horses you get everything isn't coming to you let me see it that's enough how do we know you're not lying you call me everything's gonna be all right rocky's got the money and he's always worried yes but everybody in the basin knows that he's bringing the money maybe we better meet him to see that nothing happens to him that's a good idea ah nothing will happen to rocky but one second thought maybe we better be on hand yes in case [Applause] we'll split up here david you stay here with a couple of men if we miss him make sure you get him come on hammond you take jake and swim and go on ahead you know what to do yeah we let cameron go by us and close in behind him right we'll stay here rocky gets here pretty soon we'll have to close delay as long as you can all right

hurt that bullet creaked him in the head [Applause] we got here just in time rocky i must have had an accident actually actually nothing you were chased by a whole flock of bandits to get that money

that but i do know how to find out who's behind all this well you name it and we'll do it look whoever was after that money i was carrying evidently didn't get it because they never caught up with me
