0:00:26 > 0:00:30# But you'll find the tale we tell Is the tale of what befell

0:00:30 > 0:00:33# Our young lady as she rode by bandolier

0:00:33 > 0:00:35What's the aim of the story?

0:00:35 > 0:00:36# To tell a tale

0:00:39 > 0:00:41# Slaughter Trail!

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Now, where is this trail, and where does it go?

0:00:44 > 0:00:49# It runs to Arizona through New Mexico

0:00:49 > 0:00:50# The report from out the West

0:00:52 > 0:00:54# From the forts throughout the West

0:00:56 > 0:00:59# Was that everything was peaceful as could be

0:00:59 > 0:01:02# In that period sublime Coming after Lincoln's time

0:01:02 > 0:01:06# When America had grown from sea to sea

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Will there be some fightin' in it? - Yes, sirree!

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Are our soldiers going to win it?

0:01:11 > 0:01:13# Wait and see!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Does the soldier love a lady, or does he just pretend?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19# The answer to that question's comin' at the end

0:01:21 > 0:01:23# There'll be nothin' highfalutin

0:01:23 > 0:01:25# There'll be shoutin', there'll be shootin'

0:01:25 > 0:01:28# If you want to know what else is in this tale

0:01:28 > 0:01:30# Fix your eyes upon the screen

0:01:30 > 0:01:32# On a Cinecolor scene

0:01:32 > 0:01:37# And ride with us along the Slaughter Trail!

0:01:37 > 0:01:41# It was 1882 And the sky was peaceful blue

0:01:41 > 0:01:44# When a stagecoach rode in view Across the trail

0:01:44 > 0:01:48# And the horses pulled and strained But the driver kept them reined

0:01:48 > 0:01:51# For he knew his coach contained The US Mail

0:01:51 > 0:01:55# You could only hear the sound Of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:01:55 > 0:01:58# And the wheels as they went round The Slaughter Trail

0:01:58 > 0:02:02# Now, the driver, Matt Magroot A dependable galoot

0:02:02 > 0:02:05# Helped to pioneer the route And blaze a trail

0:02:05 > 0:02:09# Sittin' by the driver's side Ridin' shotgun was McBride

0:02:09 > 0:02:12# On whom Uncle Sam relied To guard the mail

0:02:12 > 0:02:16# You could only hear the sound Of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:02:16 > 0:02:19# And the wheels as they went round The Slaughter Trail

0:02:19 > 0:02:23# Now, the coach was Frisco bound If you looked inside you found

0:02:23 > 0:02:26# A young lady fair and round And dressed to kill

0:02:26 > 0:02:29# And the drummer, Rupert Black Quite a hypochondriac

0:02:29 > 0:02:33# It's time now, Mr Black To take your pill

0:02:33 > 0:02:36# You could only hear the sound Of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:02:36 > 0:02:40# And the wheels as they went round The Slaughter Trail

0:02:40 > 0:02:43# But the calm was soon to end For in hidin' round the bend

0:02:43 > 0:02:47# Are three bandits who intend To rob the mail

0:02:47 > 0:02:50# And the masks of their disguise Hide the their hatred in their eyes

0:02:50 > 0:02:54# They're the guys who terrorise The Slaughter Trail

0:02:54 > 0:02:57# You could only hear the sound Of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:02:57 > 0:03:01# They're the bandits goin' round The Slaughter Trail. #

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I know it! I feel it! I'm going to have a stroke.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Put down your gun.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Now get down. Bring the mail pouch with you.- Everybody out, pronto.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Come out with your hands up.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Come on.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- This is an outrage, shooting at defenceless passengers!- Open it.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Have you no respect for the law? - Around here, I'm the law.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Right now I'm ordering you to shut up and walk in that direction. Go on.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14See if the dude's got anything on him that's worth taking.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Oh, please, don't take my pills. I can't live without them.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'll see that you're all hung for this!

0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK, honey. Everything's under control.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33You can stop acting now.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Oh, beautiful.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Stash it.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Take your hands off of me!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- How am I doing?- Fine.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54From here on in, it's a buggy ride.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'll meet you tomorrow in Clifton.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58From there to F'risco, it'll be a breeze.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Now go back to the coach and make out like you hate me.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09- Yeah.- Go on.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Beat it.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27All right, get in. Go on, get up there!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Goodbye, folks. I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36The east lies that way. I'd head that way if I was you.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39HE LAUGHS

0:05:39 > 0:05:41HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

0:05:43 > 0:05:47AIMLESS GUNSHOTS

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Did you hear that horrible laugh?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Only a demented murderer would laugh like that.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57# Now the bandits on from here On the trail to Bandelier

0:05:57 > 0:06:00# For they wanted to appear they're heading east

0:06:00 > 0:06:04# And their hoofprints will suggest they went north-east to the crest

0:06:04 > 0:06:07# But they've gone a circle west with speed increased

0:06:07 > 0:06:11# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:06:11 > 0:06:14# And the bandits going round the Slaughter Trail

0:06:14 > 0:06:17# But the winds of vengeance wore down the men who break the law

0:06:17 > 0:06:21# They will even up the score with those to blame

0:06:21 > 0:06:24# They were riding kinda well, when the pace began to tell

0:06:24 > 0:06:27# Now their horses' ankles swell until they're lame

0:06:27 > 0:06:31# You could only hear the sound of their curses when they found

0:06:31 > 0:06:34# That their horses couldn't pound the Slaughter Trail... #

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Blast our luck. These horses are shot.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40I wouldn't be giving up so fast I was you.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45- What makes you so darn cheerful. - I reckon you don't see what I see.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02See them?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06What we waiting for? Those horses are aching to be rode.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Grab your saddles. Let's not keep them waiting.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25GUNSHOTS

0:07:50 > 0:07:53# They pillaged and they plundered But again the bandits blundered

0:07:53 > 0:07:57# For the wounded redskin thundered down the trail

0:07:57 > 0:08:00# He had dragged himself from hiding and his pony he was guiding

0:08:00 > 0:08:04# To his clansmen he was riding with a tale

0:08:04 > 0:08:07# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:08:07 > 0:08:12- # And the redskin went around the Slaughter Trail...- #

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Daddy, the stage is here, the stage is here!- Whoa there, Nancy.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Is my surprise on it? - Well, I'm not sure, but I hope so.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41I beg your pardon, sir.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Nancy, you know better than to come running into the captain's office like this.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, he's your captain, but he's my daddy.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yes, sir... Oh, yes, ma'a... Oh, you know what I mean!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Now, you come along.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55You run along with Sergeant Macintosh, honey.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56I got some business to attend to.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Carry on, Sergeant. Daddy has business.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Fort Marcy!

0:09:00 > 0:09:03You'll find food and refreshments in the canteen.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I don't want food, I want a doctor! I must see a doctor.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Sorry, can't help you. This here's a cavalry post.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11We ain't got nothing but a horse doctor.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- How soon before we start moving? - It depends on Captain Dempster.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15What he says goes.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26You're three hours late. What were you doing?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Having tea with the Indians? - Couldn't help it, Captain.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- We was held up.- You were what? - They got McBride.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33There was three of them this time.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Couldn't make much out of their faces, they wore masks.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38But the leader had a weird kind of laugh.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- He seemed to think everything was funny.- Three of them?

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- What were you carrying? Gold? - No, just the mail.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Come to think of it, they seemed to know what was in the pouch.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49He rummaged through the mail bag until he found a package he was looking for.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Got McBride, huh? Sounds like the Vaughn Gang.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Oh, the Vaughn Gang never operated this far west.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I guess they were getting a little cramped in Texas.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Figured the stagecoach would be easier farther west.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Captain, we done the best...- I know. Get yourself some grub.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05We'll take care of the Vaughn Gang.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Nobody's going to commit murder and robbery in this territory.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I hope I'm not intruding... - What can I... Oh, excuse me.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Captain, this here is Miss Larkin, one of my passengers.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Captain.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm very anxious to get to San Francisco.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19How soon before we get going?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Well, I'm sorry to delay your trip,

0:10:21 > 0:10:22but I think you better stay over a few days.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh, but I'm not interested in stopping over.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I'd like to leave as soon as possible.- I understand that,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30but you'll need to wait until we can find a replacement to ride shotgun.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31How long will that take?

0:10:31 > 0:10:34I can't tell you at the moment, but I'll let you know.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Captain, I insist that we leave immediately.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Miss Larkin, I'm trying to remember my manners,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42but I find you exceedingly rude.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I have more important matters to attend to. A man has been killed.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48The driver will let you know when the stagecoach is ready to leave.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I thought you were an officer and a gentleman!

0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'm the commanding officer of Fort Marcy.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56The gentlemen you'll find in San Francisco.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02HE LAUGHS

0:11:02 > 0:11:08- Guess he told you, didn't he, lady? - Don't worry. I'll have the last word.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Not if you give orders to a man whose business is giving orders.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You seem to know him quite well. What approach would you suggest?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Charm, lady. Feminine charm.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Lieutenant Morgan reporting, sir. - At ease, Lieutenant.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Here's a federal circular on the Vaughn Gang.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32I have an idea they're the bunch who held up that stagecoach.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34What's good's this? It doesn't show faces.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36What do you want? You seem to forget this is a wilderness.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- This could be any three men, Captain.- Precisely.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Out here, we have to rely on instinct.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Take a detail and trail them down.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45The driver tells me they headed for Bandolier Mountain

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- but I have an idea that was just a decoy.- Yes, sir.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- And don't come back without them. - Very well, sir.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53By the way, Lieutenant...

0:11:53 > 0:11:55You better take an Indian scout. I'd choose Chamorra.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57He knows this country backwards.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes, sir.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Hard Saddle, why did you ever join the cavalry?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, why did you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Well, Sarge. It's a long story. Especially the way I tell it.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29# Recruiting posters are printed to attract the not so wise

0:12:29 > 0:12:34# If what they said was really true, they needn't advertise... #

0:12:34 > 0:12:36You know, nothing bothers you.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Anybody that goes through life just singing must be crazy.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42# There you stand and scrub your horse

0:12:42 > 0:12:45# While he works just as hard, of course

0:12:45 > 0:12:48# I just sing a melody

0:12:48 > 0:12:51# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:12:51 > 0:12:54# Now I got some bullets and I got a gun

0:12:54 > 0:12:56# But shooting at people just ain't fun

0:12:56 > 0:12:59# Then why'd you join the cavalry?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:13:03 > 0:13:05# Do-dee-do dee-voo day

0:13:05 > 0:13:08# I don't care if I feel this way

0:13:08 > 0:13:10# Do-dee-do dee-do dee

0:13:10 > 0:13:12# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:13:14 > 0:13:16# When I eat pears, I eat the core

0:13:16 > 0:13:19# I throw the meat upon the floor

0:13:19 > 0:13:21# The seeds are best of all, you see

0:13:21 > 0:13:23# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:13:25 > 0:13:27# When I go squawkin' with a lass

0:13:27 > 0:13:30# I lead her through the meadow grass

0:13:30 > 0:13:32# I don't kiss her, she kisses me

0:13:32 > 0:13:34# Everyone's crazy acceptin' he

0:13:34 > 0:13:36# Do-dee-do dedalo day

0:13:52 > 0:13:54# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:13:56 > 0:13:58# Some drink whisky, some drink port

0:13:58 > 0:14:01# Some folks drink from night till morn

0:14:01 > 0:14:03# I drink my water straight, you see

0:14:03 > 0:14:05# And chase it down with rye whisky

0:14:05 > 0:14:07# Doo-dee do da dedalo day

0:14:15 > 0:14:18# You ride your horse until you bend

0:14:20 > 0:14:22# I walk my horse and let him be

0:14:22 > 0:14:24# Everyone's crazy acceptin' me

0:14:27 > 0:14:29# When couples marry, they tempt fate

0:14:29 > 0:14:31# Because their love can turn to hate

0:14:31 > 0:14:33# I love them all but I stay free

0:14:51 > 0:14:53THEY LAUGH

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Sergeant, get a patrol ready.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Full field equipment, three days' rations. We leave immediately.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Yes, sir.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01All right, you guys. You heard what the Lieutenant said. On the double.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Come on, let's get everything packed.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- When are we leaving? - It's up to Captain Dempster.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Well, I guess I better help him make up his mind.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Yeah, but don't forget what I said about charm.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Feminine charm.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24- KNOCKS ON DOOR - Come in.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Miss Larkin to see you, sir. - Send her in.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Yes, sir. Miss Larkin...

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Captain Dempster...- Miss Larkin.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41I... I want to apologise for the way I acted this morning.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43I guess the combination of the long trip

0:15:43 > 0:15:45and what happened sort of upset me.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'm terribly sorry.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- That's all right.- How long do you think it'll be before we can go on?

0:15:51 > 0:15:52That all depends.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Oh, but the driver told me he was willing to go on

0:15:55 > 0:15:57without a replacement, only you ordered him to stay.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- That's right. I did. You must be in quite a hurry.- Yes.

0:16:01 > 0:16:07Oh, yes, I am, Captain. You see, it's my grandmother. She's terribly ill.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'll never forgive myself if I don't get there in time.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Well, that's too bad. - Oh, please, please let us go on.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Well, if I do, I can't...- Oh, thank you, Captain! I'll never forget this.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Goodbye, Captain.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Well, I see you're all set and ready to roll.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35What made you so sure I'd let you go?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well, if she convinced me, I knew she'd convince you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40HE LAUGHS

0:16:45 > 0:16:47# You must cover lots of ground

0:16:47 > 0:16:49# When you're Arizona bound

0:16:49 > 0:16:52# So the wheels keep going round as you rolled on

0:16:52 > 0:16:56# And because she had her way, Lorabelle is feeling gay

0:16:56 > 0:16:59# For tomorrow is the day she's meeting Vaughn

0:17:00 > 0:17:04# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:17:04 > 0:17:08# And the stage as it went round the Slaughter Trail

0:17:08 > 0:17:11# The horizon greets the eye as the desert meets the sky

0:17:11 > 0:17:15# And the cavalry rides by along the way

0:17:15 > 0:17:19# They are following the trail of the men who robbed the mail

0:17:19 > 0:17:23# And they know they mustn't fail to find their prey

0:17:23 > 0:17:27# Now we see a group of tents They're the red men's residence

0:17:27 > 0:17:30# And they add to the suspense on Slaughter Trail

0:17:34 > 0:17:38# Now the redskin told his chief

0:17:38 > 0:17:40# How his loved ones came to grief

0:17:40 > 0:17:44# That the white man was a thief, and furthermore

0:17:44 > 0:17:47# When the pale faced guns had spoken

0:17:47 > 0:17:49# A lasting truce was broken

0:17:49 > 0:17:53# So the chieftain raised the token which meant war

0:17:54 > 0:17:57# You can only hear the sound of the war drums as they pound

0:17:57 > 0:18:01# And the message that goes round the Slaughter Trail... #

0:18:02 > 0:18:05INDIANS WAR WHOOP

0:18:20 > 0:18:23# On the stage, they're unaware of the danger in the air

0:18:23 > 0:18:26# For the Navajos are there, in front and back

0:18:26 > 0:18:30# As the Indian's encroach, Paako signals for the coach

0:18:30 > 0:18:32# They break ambush and approach for the attack

0:18:33 > 0:18:36# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:18:36 > 0:18:39# As the redskins went around the Slaughter Trail

0:18:39 > 0:18:41# There are Indians to the left

0:18:44 > 0:18:46# There are Indians to the right

0:18:49 > 0:18:52# And they ride with all their might to make the kill

0:18:52 > 0:18:55# As they hasten in their flight, Lorabelle is filled with fright

0:18:55 > 0:18:58# And the driver fears he might be killed

0:18:58 > 0:19:02# The horses pull and strain, but their efforts are in vain

0:19:02 > 0:19:04# For the redskins seem to gain upon the stage

0:19:04 > 0:19:08# But it seems an act of grace led our soldiers to the place

0:19:08 > 0:19:10# And they rode into the chase from the hill

0:19:12 > 0:19:14# You can hear the heartbeat pound when Lieutenant Morgan found

0:19:14 > 0:19:17# There were redskins all around the Slaughter Trail... #

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Full charge!

0:19:42 > 0:19:44GUNSHOTS

0:19:52 > 0:19:53GUNSHOTS

0:20:00 > 0:20:02GUNSHOTS

0:20:08 > 0:20:11GUNSHOTS

0:20:20 > 0:20:22GUNSHOTS

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- What's the matter? Scared?- Who, me?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Scared?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39GUNSHOTS

0:20:40 > 0:20:41I thought you said you were

0:20:41 > 0:20:43the hottest Indian fighter east of the Rio Grande.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45That was east of the Rio Grande.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48West of the Rio Grande, I ain't so hot.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49GUNSHOTS

0:20:59 > 0:21:02GUNSHOTS

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- I hope you're all right. - Yes, thanks to you and your men.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18GUNSHOTS

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Steady!

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Lieutenant, I want to thank you again for...- Madame, don't thank us.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Thank the bandits who held you up this morning.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31If their trail didn't lead westward from the mountain,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- we wouldn't have been here in time. - You mean you haven't caught them yet?

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- We might have if you hadn't taken us off their trail.- I resent that.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Why blame me! - You seem to have a special talent for attracting trouble.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43After this delay, I doubt if we'll ever catch them.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Lieutenant, it appears that one of the qualifications for being

0:21:46 > 0:21:49an officer in the US Cavalry is rudeness.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52If you don't mind, I think I'll continue my trip.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56And if you don't mind, you'll kindly step back into the coach. We're going back to the fort.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Those Indians don't scare me! - Don't press your luck too far.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- We're all ready, Lieutenant.- All right, Sergeant, mount the patrol.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Patrol mounted!

0:22:21 > 0:22:22KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Lieutenant, back so soon. Good. - Hold the compliments, Captain.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'm sorry to report our mission was not accomplished.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Then what the blazes are you doing back here? You had your orders. - I had no alternative, sir.- Huh?

0:22:34 > 0:22:39We were trailing the bandits west when we crossed paths with a band of Navajos attacking the stage.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Navajos? Chief Paako and I have been friends for years.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Are you sure they were Navajos? - Positive.- Any casualties?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48We lost the driver. Two others were wounded.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Lieutenant, one of the few things I've been able to

0:22:51 > 0:22:54accomplish in this forsaken place is to keep peace with the Navajos.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58- We've had a treaty with them for years.- Not any more.- I'm not so sure.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Chief Paako wouldn't attack without a good reason.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Indians on the war path are beyond reason.- Where did you learn that?

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- In a textbook? - No, sir. On Slaughter Trail.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Those Navajos ought to be taught a lesson.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11I know how to handle Chief Paako.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14This situation calls for diplomacy, not force.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Let's go.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I beg your pardon, sir. Miss Larkin requests another audience.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Captain Dempster, would you please...! - Captain Dempster would not!

0:23:23 > 0:23:26If I hadn't listened to you, the stagecoach driver would still be alive.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Until further notice, you're confined to the fort.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33How dare you! By what right do you think you can give me orders?!

0:23:33 > 0:23:35By what right?! By an act of congress.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Pardon me.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Temper, temper!

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Why won't you watch!...

0:23:51 > 0:23:57- Sorry... Did I hurt you?- No. Did I hurt you?- No. Of course not.

0:23:58 > 0:24:04- Um, look, do you know where I can find the women's quarters?- Come.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06- I'll show you.- Thank you.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- What's your name?- Nancy Dempster. My daddy is commander of this post.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18- Really?- What's your name? - Lorabelle. Lorabelle Larkin.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I like that name. It's pretty.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25- But you may call me Lorabelle. - Thank you. You may call me Nancy.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Thank you.- Well, here we are.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35What beautiful gowns.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Do all the women back east wear such pretty clothes?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Well, only those that can afford to.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I bet you'd look beautiful in that gown.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44Thank you, Nancy.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49- That's a nice doll you have. - She's a present from Chief Paako.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52He gave it to me when he and Daddy signed the truce.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Oh, then you must have had her for a long time.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Wow, that's beautiful. Can I see it?- Sure.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02When you grow up, maybe you'll have lots of pretty things.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Miss Larkin?- Yes?

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- I'm Susan Wilson, the school teacher.- Oh, how do you do?

0:25:07 > 0:25:10I hope you don't mind my sharing your quarters with you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12- It'll only be a short while. - Not at all.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?

0:25:15 > 0:25:20- I don't think so. Nancy's been very helpful.- Come on, Nancy. School time.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Bye, Lorabelle.- Bye.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Well, Saddle, you're a veteran now.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37- You mean I'm no longer a rookie? - Heck no.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Now that you've tasted blood and thunder

0:25:39 > 0:25:40and you've fought the Indians,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43you can look any man right in the eye and say,

0:25:43 > 0:25:47"Here stands a fighting member of the United States Cavalry."

0:25:47 > 0:25:50I bet that was the toughest Indian fight you was ever in.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Toughest fight? - SCOFFING:- That was child's play.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55You mean to say you've had it tougher?

0:25:55 > 0:25:59Why, I remember when I was with the 7th Cavalry back in Kansas,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02we were fighting the Cheyennes. It was the Battle of Chickasaw.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05I don't know how it happened, but, all of a sudden, there I was,

0:26:05 > 0:26:08all alone, all by myself,

0:26:08 > 0:26:12so I whipped my horse around and started back to the regiment.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14There, right in front of me, were 50 Indians,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17so I turned around and started to retreat...

0:26:17 > 0:26:20There, blocking my path, was 100 Indians.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24So, quick, I turned to the left, and coming right at me, 200 Indians.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27So I turned around to take to the right...

0:26:27 > 0:26:32300 Indians bearing down on me. All around me, Indians.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Indians in front of me, Indians in back of me,

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Indians to the left of me, and Indians to the right of me.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- What happened?- What happened?

0:26:40 > 0:26:41I got killed.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45If you were killed, how come you're still living?

0:26:47 > 0:26:48You call this living?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50LAUGHTER

0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Sergeant Macintosh.- Yes, sir.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Replace your casualties and mount the patrol. We're going out again.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Very well, sir. Patrol, fall in!

0:27:03 > 0:27:05# Oh, the hills are bearing brown

0:27:05 > 0:27:07# Wearing cactus for a crown

0:27:07 > 0:27:10# And the heat keeps bearing down without relief

0:27:10 > 0:27:15# And the sweat pours through your clothes, but Lieutenant Morgan knows

0:27:15 > 0:27:18# They must reach the Navajos and see their chief

0:27:20 > 0:27:23# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26# As the Cavalry went round the Slaughter Trail

0:27:28 > 0:27:31# Now the heat is so intense

0:27:31 > 0:27:33# And you curse it, so immense

0:27:33 > 0:27:39# And your spirits are so dense that you can't talk

0:27:39 > 0:27:44# You've gone halfway across the state and your misery is great

0:27:44 > 0:27:49# And your horse can't bear your weight, and so you walk

0:27:50 > 0:27:56# You could only hear the sound of the hoofbeats on the ground

0:27:56 > 0:28:00# As your horses drag around the Slaughter Trail

0:28:03 > 0:28:07# It's approaching even tide when the sun begins to hide

0:28:07 > 0:28:11# And so once again you ride, you're like a king

0:28:11 > 0:28:15# Now your horses start to fly, there's a twinkle in your eye

0:28:15 > 0:28:18# And your spirits feel so high you got to sing

0:28:21 > 0:28:25# When the sky has turned to rust

0:28:25 > 0:28:28# And your throat is dry as dust

0:28:28 > 0:28:32# While you're riding for the shadows and the shade

0:28:32 > 0:28:35# As your horses pound the ground

0:28:35 > 0:28:40# You can hear the welcome sound of the hoofbeat serenade

0:28:40 > 0:28:43# Then the miles begin to fly

0:28:44 > 0:28:47# As the wind goes rushing by

0:28:47 > 0:28:51# And you know you've reached the coolness of the glade

0:28:51 > 0:28:55# You're in rhythm with your mount and your mount is keeping count

0:28:55 > 0:28:59# To the hoofbeat serenade

0:28:59 > 0:29:03# The song wind, the hum of the breeze

0:29:03 > 0:29:06# The tune of the loon on the wing

0:29:06 > 0:29:10# The cry of a bird, and with it is heard

0:29:10 > 0:29:14# The rustling of leaves in the spring

0:29:14 > 0:29:17# Then the mountains take the sound

0:29:17 > 0:29:21# And they echo it around

0:29:21 > 0:29:24# Till it comes back twice as strong as it was played

0:29:24 > 0:29:28# There is music in our horse, and his melody, of course,

0:29:28 > 0:29:32# Is the hoofbeat serenade

0:29:32 > 0:29:36# Hear the song of the wind, hear the hum of the breeze

0:29:36 > 0:29:40# The tune of the loon on the wing

0:29:40 > 0:29:44# Hear the cry of the bird, and with it is heard

0:29:44 > 0:29:47# The rustling of leaves in the spring

0:29:47 > 0:29:51# Then the mountains take the sound

0:29:51 > 0:29:55# And they echo it around

0:29:55 > 0:29:58# Then it comes back twice as strong as it was played

0:29:58 > 0:30:02# There is music in our horse, and his melody, of course,

0:30:02 > 0:30:08# Is the hoofbeat serenade. #

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Halt.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Dismount!

0:30:35 > 0:30:38Chief Paako, I come to you with heavy heart.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41For many moons now, your tribe and my people have lived in peace,

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- but you have broken our long-time truce.- This is not true.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46White man broke long time truce.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50My people wish to live in peace, but white men killed my brethren and steal their horses.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Our treaty is broken and Navajos seek revenge.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55What good is there seeking revenge on innocents?

0:30:55 > 0:30:57What good do white men find in shooting innocent Navajos?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Chief Paako, it grieves me much to hear of this terrible injustice to

0:31:00 > 0:31:05your blood brothers, but you cannot take the law into your own hands.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08When white man sins he must be punished by white man.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09When white man sins against red man,

0:31:09 > 0:31:11he shall be punished by red man. That is Navajo law.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15My government has every respect for the Navajo tribe and their laws.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18I promise you that we will do all in our power to capture these man

0:31:18 > 0:31:19and see that they pay for their crimes.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Please go back and tell that to your people

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- and let's live in peace again. - There can be no peace between us

0:31:24 > 0:31:26until you find the guilty ones and deliver them to me.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28My commander asked for a truce,

0:31:28 > 0:31:30so that we can settle things between us in a peaceful manner.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34Tell your chief that we will wait until the sun has risen two more times in the eastern heavens.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37If, by that time, you have not delivered the guilty ones to me,

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I will gather all the tribes and there shall be war between us.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I beg you to reconsider, Chief Paako.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44There must be better ways to settle our differences.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Why seek an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Navajos want a life for a life!

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Can I be of any service to you, neighbour?

0:32:16 > 0:32:21- When's the stage due from San Felipe? - Well, sir, it's due any minute now.

0:32:21 > 0:32:22But it ain't coming.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26That supposed to be a joke? I don't get it.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Oh, it ain't no joke, neighbour.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30See, the Navajos have been raising hell along the Slaughter Trail

0:32:30 > 0:32:33and there ain't going to be no stage coming through.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37At least-wise until the military puts down this Navajo uprising.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39How long will that take?

0:32:39 > 0:32:44Well, can't tell. May take a few days, may take a few weeks.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48Then again, it may take a few months. That all depends.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49Depends on what?

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Well, depends on what the Indians want,

0:32:52 > 0:32:56what we're willing to give them, and what the hell it's happening for.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Thanks. You've been a great help(!)

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Now we know less than we did before we asked you.

0:33:00 > 0:33:01Oh, that's all right, son.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Any time you want to know anything, you just drop in and ask me.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06I'm always willing to tell you.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07Where can we get a drink around here?

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Well, sir, right down the road there, there's a saloon.

0:33:11 > 0:33:16- And they got awful good liquor too, boy.- Sounds good to me. Let's go.

0:33:16 > 0:33:21Wait a minute. Ain't no use going down there, boys. It's closed.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24I ought to know.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33Well, what do we do next?

0:33:33 > 0:33:36Go back to Fort Marcy and get hold of Lorabelle and the jewels.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37You going loco?

0:33:37 > 0:33:39They see the three of us together,

0:33:39 > 0:33:41they'll figure out who we are in no time.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44He's right. I ain't sticking my neck out any more than I have to.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46What about Lorabelle?

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Can't leave her stranded at that fort all by her lonesome.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51She's got the jewels for company.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53They ought to keep her from being too lonesome.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Yeah, they'll start to make her nervous.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Toting all that evidence around a military post is kind of dangerous.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59We got to get her out of there.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01You mean YOU'VE got to get her out of there.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Not we. She's YOUR gal.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06All right. I'll go myself.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Once I get to her, I'll figure a way of getting her out.- No, you don't.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Once the two of you break free with that loot,

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- we'll never see you again. - What makes you think I'd do that?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Cos that's just what I'd do if I was in your place.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Wait a minute.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21I think you ought to go back to the fort, try and get Lorabelle out.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24We'll go with you as far as Elephant Rock. We'll wait for you there.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26Supposing he can't get out of the fort...

0:34:27 > 0:34:29I'll get out.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32All right, let's go.

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Daddy!

0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Nancy!- Daddy!

0:35:08 > 0:35:10I suppose you want to cancel the regular Saturday night social?

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Oh, Daddy, please don't cancel the Saturday night social!

0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Of course not, Lieutenant, Nancy would never forgive me.- But Paako...

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Navajos never attack at night.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19Yes, sir.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Halt!

0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Yes, sir.- I'm headed west and I'd like to put up overnight if I could.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Follow me, sir.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37- Sir, this man wishes to stay over night.- Yes?- My name is Murray.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39- I'm a cattleman heading for Arizona. - Cattle? Arizona?

0:35:39 > 0:35:43- I heard there was mighty plain grazing land to be had there.- Maybe.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44I'll be on my way first thing in the morning.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47I think you better figure on taking a good, long rest.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48There's been a Navajo uprising.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51All civilians are restricted to the fort until it blows over.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54I guess I'm lucky I got here with my skin in one piece.

0:35:54 > 0:35:55Yeah, guess you are.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03# Falling down, falling down

0:36:03 > 0:36:07# London bridge is falling down

0:36:07 > 0:36:09# My fair lady... #

0:36:09 > 0:36:11LAUGHTER

0:36:11 > 0:36:14# Get the key and lock her up

0:36:14 > 0:36:17# Lock her up, lock her up...

0:36:17 > 0:36:20# Take the key and lock her up... #

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Um, Nancy, you take my place, will you?

0:36:23 > 0:36:27Let's start all over again. Ready? Go.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32You must be out of your mind coming here.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34I thought you'd be glad to see me.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Not under these circumstances.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39That's gratitude for you.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41I risk my neck coming here to get you,

0:36:41 > 0:36:43and you treat me like I was poison.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46You are poison as far as the army's concerned.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Do you think I want to see you hung?

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Why would the army want to hang a respectable rancher like me?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53They're so fond of me,

0:36:53 > 0:36:56they insist I be their guest until the Indians calm down.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00You got more nerve than brains. Maybe that's why I'm so crazy about you.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Where's Heath and Levering? - Waiting for us at Elephant Rock.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Got the jewels?- Yes.- Good.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- As soon as it gets dark, we're getting out of here.- How?

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Don't worry. I'll figure a way.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Hey, kids!- Singalong, sing us a song!

0:37:21 > 0:37:24ALL: Yeah!

0:37:24 > 0:37:25- Go get my guitar.- Sure.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Move over here.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48# Wish I was a mole in the ground

0:37:50 > 0:37:53# I wish I was a mole in the ground

0:37:53 > 0:37:57# If I was a mole in the ground, look, I'd root that mountain down

0:37:57 > 0:38:01# I wish I was a mole in the ground... #

0:38:02 > 0:38:03A bee, a bee.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08# I wish I was woolly, boogie bee

0:38:08 > 0:38:12# I wish I was a woolly, boogie bee

0:38:12 > 0:38:16# I was a woolly, boogie bee, I'd make my nest so comfy

0:38:16 > 0:38:19# I wish I was a woolly, boogie bee... #

0:38:21 > 0:38:23How about a squirrel?

0:38:23 > 0:38:28# I wish I was a squirrel with a big, long tail

0:38:29 > 0:38:32# I wish I was a squirrel with a big, long tail

0:38:32 > 0:38:34# If I was a squirrel with a big, long tail

0:38:34 > 0:38:35# Spread it right out and away I'd sail

0:38:35 > 0:38:40# I wish I was a squirrel with a big, long tail... #

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Can you be a fox?

0:38:42 > 0:38:46# I wish I was a fuzzy, wuzzy fox

0:38:47 > 0:38:49# I wish I was a fuzzy, wuzzy fox

0:38:51 > 0:38:53# If I was a fuzzy, wuzzy fox

0:38:53 > 0:38:54# I'd never have to change my socks

0:38:54 > 0:38:58# I wish I was a fuzzy, wuzzy fox... #

0:38:58 > 0:39:00An apple.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06# I wish I was an apple on a tree

0:39:07 > 0:39:09# I wish I was an apple on a tree

0:39:10 > 0:39:12# If I was an apple on a tree

0:39:12 > 0:39:14# Girl come along and take a bite of me

0:39:14 > 0:39:17# I wish I was an apple on a tree... #

0:39:17 > 0:39:19How about the sun?

0:39:21 > 0:39:26# I wish I was the sun up above

0:39:27 > 0:39:30# I wish I was the sun up above

0:39:30 > 0:39:32# If I was the sun up above

0:39:32 > 0:39:36# Shine right down on the one I love... #

0:39:36 > 0:39:37BELL RINGS

0:39:37 > 0:39:41# I wish I was the sun up above

0:39:44 > 0:39:49# Oh, when I was a young boy and drove my mother wild

0:39:49 > 0:39:54# I met a maiden in the wood and she said, "Child...

0:39:54 > 0:40:00# "Look deep into my green eyes and at my autumn hair

0:40:00 > 0:40:07# "When you're a man, you'll never see a girl quite as fair

0:40:09 > 0:40:14# "Remember me, remember me

0:40:14 > 0:40:19# "Remember for the rest of your life..." #

0:40:22 > 0:40:26- Daddy, I'm wearing your surprise. Isn't it beautiful?- Oh, it's lovely.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29It's... Hey, why isn't it buttoned?

0:40:29 > 0:40:31I guess I've grown since you ordered it.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34You certainly are growing fast. Ah, well.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36It takes the stagecoach a long time to make delivery.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39But I want to wear it to the Saturday night social.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Could you please fix it? - Well, let's see.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Guess I'll have to move the buttons.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46How about a story?

0:40:48 > 0:40:53Once upon a time, there was an old, brave knight.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56- What was his rank?- Hmm? - What was his rank?

0:40:56 > 0:41:00Oh, I guess he was a knight...first class.

0:41:01 > 0:41:07One day, he put on his armour, he got on his horse...

0:41:07 > 0:41:12- Oh, he was in the cavalry?- What else?- Did he have a lady?- Of course.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15What was her name?

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Ro... Ro...

0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Roanoke.- Daddy, that's in Virginia.- Hmm?

0:41:24 > 0:41:29- Oh, yeah. I got it. Lady Rowena.- Uh, Captain!

0:41:29 > 0:41:31- May I speak to you for a minute? - No.- Oh...

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Forgive the interruption, Captain,

0:41:37 > 0:41:40but I did ask the Sergeant if I might see you?

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Hello, Lorabelle.- Yeah, what is it?

0:41:43 > 0:41:46I just want you to know that I thoroughly understand...

0:41:46 > 0:41:49Oh, Daddy knows, don't you, Daddy?

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Thank you, Nancy.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54- I know how you must you feel... - Oh, Daddy knows, don't you, Daddy?

0:41:54 > 0:41:58- Sergeant!- Yes, sir? - Don't just stand there. Come here.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yes, sir.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04- What do you want me to do? - Finish it. Get out of here.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07I don't know nothing about dressmaking. Come on, Nancy.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08I never did any of that.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10I didn't mean to shout, Miss Larkin.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13I guess I've been around horses too long.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14That's all right.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18Have you any hopes of settling your differences with the Indians?

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Well, I'm hoping for the best, but it looks pretty serious.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23It's frightening when you think what three outlaws

0:42:23 > 0:42:25can do to the lives of hundreds.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30I'm really sorry. For a lot of things, I guess.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36- Yeah... Well, I trust you're comfortable?- Oh, yes. Yes, I am.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Miss Susan was kind enough to put me up.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40You'll excuse me, Miss Larkin.

0:42:47 > 0:42:52- Now you stop jiggling. - I'm not jiggling! You're shaking!

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Can I help you, Sergeant?

0:42:54 > 0:42:55You sure can, ma'am.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58I'm a lot better with a gun than I am this silly old needle.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04- I'll bet two.- I'll raise you. - I raise you.

0:43:05 > 0:43:10- I call.- I'm calling.- I call.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14- I call. What you got? - I got nothing.- Nothing.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Ha! Nothing.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Queens.- How many?

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- One.- Good. I thought you were bluffing.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25I don't understand it. I just don't seem to win a bet.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Well, maybe you're lucky in love.

0:43:27 > 0:43:31- There must be some way of winning. - Have you ever tried cheating?

0:43:31 > 0:43:34Come on, boys. Annie up, Annie up.

0:43:34 > 0:43:38- Again?- Put your money where your mouth is. All right, here we go.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44Around and around the joker goes, and where she stops, nobody knows.

0:43:45 > 0:43:49- All right. It's a good honest deal. - Make a good hand.- Yeah.

0:43:49 > 0:43:52Got a hunch this is all good hands this time.

0:43:55 > 0:43:56What you got?

0:44:03 > 0:44:05I bet four.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Bet 'em like you had 'em. What you got, deuces?

0:44:07 > 0:44:10It's none of your business what he's got. What are you going to do?

0:44:10 > 0:44:11I'm getting out while the getting's good.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13How about you Mr Black?

0:44:16 > 0:44:18My hand's not too good. I'll fold.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21Well, I got a promising hand. I'll raise you four.

0:44:23 > 0:44:27Call. All right. Two are out and three are in.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Draw the cars and the fun begins. How many?

0:44:30 > 0:44:32I take one.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35One.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39- Three.- One, two, three.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46One, two, three, four.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49How can you draw four when the limit's three?

0:44:49 > 0:44:51- This is dealer's choice, ain't it?- Yes.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54Well, I'm the dealer and I choose to draw four cards.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08Shoot the works, boys. This is it. Shoot the works.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10This is a good hand. I'm betting.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15- Call. You don't scare me. - I'm so glad I got out when I did.

0:45:15 > 0:45:17What have you got?

0:45:17 > 0:45:22- A straight to the jack!- Good, I've got four aces!- Whoa, whoa! Hold on!

0:45:22 > 0:45:23I got the winning hand.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26- What have you got? A royal flush? - What have I got?

0:45:26 > 0:45:312 of diamonds, 4 of hearts, 6 of spades, 8 of clubs,

0:45:31 > 0:45:33and 10 of diamonds.

0:45:35 > 0:45:39- What's that?- What's that?! That's a sneaky peeky.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42- It's the greatest hand you can hold. - Sneaky peeky?- Sneaky peeky?

0:45:42 > 0:45:45- I never heard of it.- Well, of course not. You're just a rookie.

0:45:45 > 0:45:49Here, you did win the deal. Anyone want to float along?

0:45:49 > 0:45:51I like to have some security.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56- What have you got?- I got three jacks. - No good, I got three queens.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00- This is the hand I've been waiting for. Sneaky peeky!- No good.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03- What do you mean no good?! - Three aces.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06I thought you told me sneaky peeky was the highest hand you could get?

0:46:06 > 0:46:08It is, but it's only good once a night.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Shall we skip the light fantastic?

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Of course, I use the word light advisedly.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40He's changing the guard at midnight.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43One minute after 12, I want you walking by the main gate.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45We'll make our break then.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47- What are we using for horses? - I got them.

0:46:50 > 0:46:54You know I can look in your eye and see you've led a gay romantic life.

0:46:54 > 0:46:59- If I'm not too personal, what do you do for a living?- I sell coffins.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01SHE GIGGLES

0:47:03 > 0:47:08- Daddy, why are you still mad at Miss Larkin?- Mad at her?- Yes?

0:47:08 > 0:47:12Well, if it'll make you feel any better, we're on very good terms. Now, anything else?

0:47:12 > 0:47:15Yes. Why don't you dance with her? She's awful pretty.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18All right.

0:47:18 > 0:47:22- Don't you think you better take these jewels now?- No, they're safer on you.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Smile. You're having a good time, remember?

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Miss Larkin, I trust you're enjoying yourself?

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Oh, very much, Captain,

0:47:32 > 0:47:34but I was hoping you were going to ask me for a dance.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36Nothing would suit me more.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38However, I was about to suggest a walk in the moonlight.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Good.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53I'm glad you and my daughter hit it off so well, Miss Larkin.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56- It's easy to get along with Nancy. - I appreciate your kindness.

0:47:58 > 0:47:59Lovely night, isn't it?

0:47:59 > 0:48:02As commanding officer, I ordered that moon to appear.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05You couldn't have ordered a lovelier moon.

0:48:05 > 0:48:10- I hope it stays there for ever. - For ever, Captain? How romantic.

0:48:10 > 0:48:11Not romantic. Worry.

0:48:11 > 0:48:14When that moon disappears and the sun rises,

0:48:14 > 0:48:16I'm faced with an Indian attack.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18- Is it really that serious?- Very.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Last war with the Navajos cos Nancy her mother.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24And your wife.

0:48:24 > 0:48:28The only consolation I've had is this lasting truce with Chief Paako.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Now it looks like that might fall apart.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33Isn't there any way to appease Paako?

0:48:33 > 0:48:37Yes, if I can hand over the three outlaws who killed his tribesmen.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40I couldn't do that, even if I had them.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Even if they're proven guilty?

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Their guilt must be decided by a federal court,

0:48:44 > 0:48:47not an Indian drumhead.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50I don't know why I'm bothering you with my trouble.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53You expect to be in San Francisco long?

0:48:53 > 0:48:55- Depends.- Your grandmother.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57I like it here.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00I mean, the people are nice. Even you after hours.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04Oh, I know what it's like to be lonely.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07See, I've lived with relatives all my life.

0:49:07 > 0:49:12- Always a mansion, but never a home. - Well, things may grow better.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14Sooner than you think.

0:49:14 > 0:49:15Maybe.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17Shall we go back?

0:49:28 > 0:49:31Hey, Singalong, how about giving out with a song?

0:49:31 > 0:49:33I've got just the song you're looking for!

0:49:36 > 0:49:40# Handygun Pete and Larry Lou and Jittery Dearfoot Dan

0:49:40 > 0:49:43# Were three notorious outlaws who hit the Rio Grande

0:49:43 > 0:49:45# Handygun Pete was quick in the draw

0:49:45 > 0:49:47# Larry Lou could rope

0:49:47 > 0:49:50# And little old Jittery Dearfoot Dan could run like an antelope

0:49:50 > 0:49:52# Ah yip ah yip ah yippy hi hey

0:49:52 > 0:49:55# They never was three cow hands

0:49:55 > 0:49:58# Could draw a gun or use a rope or run like Dearfoot Dan

0:49:58 > 0:50:00# Now these three fellas would drop the coach

0:50:00 > 0:50:02# And hold up the railroad train

0:50:02 > 0:50:06# But little old Jittery Dearfoot Dan never got one third of a gain

0:50:06 > 0:50:09# Dearfoot Dan, he never griped, no matter how he would hope

0:50:09 > 0:50:13# Cos Pete was handy with a gun and Lou was mean with a rope

0:50:13 > 0:50:15# Ah yip ah yip ah yippy hi hey

0:50:15 > 0:50:17# There never was three cow hands

0:50:17 > 0:50:21# Could draw a gun or use a rope or run with Dearfoot Dan

0:50:21 > 0:50:24# Rewards were posted on every tree throughout the western land

0:50:24 > 0:50:28# 5,000 dollars for Lou and Pete and one for Dearfoot Dan

0:50:28 > 0:50:31# Now this got poor old Dan so mad, he said

0:50:31 > 0:50:32# "I'll show them snakes!

0:50:32 > 0:50:35# "There ain't enough money on my head for all the work it takes

0:50:35 > 0:50:37# Ah yip ah yip ah yippy hi hey

0:50:37 > 0:50:39# There never were three cow hands

0:50:39 > 0:50:43# Could draw a gun or use a rope or run like Dearfoot Dan

0:50:43 > 0:50:47# So when they next held up a train, the posse got there too

0:50:47 > 0:50:49# Shot their horses while they ran

0:50:49 > 0:50:51# So on their feet they flew

0:50:51 > 0:50:54# Handygun Pete and Lariat Lou were killed by gun and rope

0:50:54 > 0:50:58# But Jittery Dan, he's running still, just like an antelope

0:50:58 > 0:51:00# Ah yip ah yip ah yippy hi hey

0:51:00 > 0:51:02# There never was three cow hands

0:51:02 > 0:51:06# Could draw a gun or use a rope or run like Dearfoot Dan

0:51:06 > 0:51:09# Handygun Pete and Lariat Lou were buried right on the slope

0:51:09 > 0:51:13# One still has a hold of his gun, the other has got his rope

0:51:13 > 0:51:17# Rewards run high for Jittery Dan, but everyone's lost hope

0:51:17 > 0:51:21# Cos they all know it ain't no use to chase an antelope

0:51:21 > 0:51:23# Ah yip ah yip ah yippy hi hey

0:51:23 > 0:51:24# There never was three cow hands

0:51:24 > 0:51:28# Could draw a gun or use a rope or run like Dearfoot Dan! #

0:51:28 > 0:51:31CHEERING

0:51:35 > 0:51:37Attention, everybody.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40Hardsaddle Harry is going to give us his impersonation

0:51:40 > 0:51:41of Buffalo Bill!

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Impersonation - Buffalo Bill.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53LAUGHTER

0:51:53 > 0:51:55That was fine, sir!

0:51:55 > 0:51:57LAUGHTER

0:51:58 > 0:52:01HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

0:52:06 > 0:52:07Excuse me.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10Captain Dempster, can I see you for a minute?

0:52:13 > 0:52:16All right, everybody. Choose your ladies and sets.

0:52:16 > 0:52:19Those on the sides, cut in when you want to. Let's go!

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Please, Captain, it's very important.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Oh, take it easy, Mr Black. Have your drink first.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Captain, the man who held us up is here.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Mr Black, you better take another pill.

0:52:30 > 0:52:32You're letting your imagination run away with you.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35It's not my imagination, I'm positive.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37There he is. Right there.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Dancing with Miss Larkin.

0:52:42 > 0:52:46Why that's Mr Murray. He's a cattleman, he's a rancher.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48Yes, and he's also a thief and a murderer.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53- How do you know?- I recognised him by his laugh.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56I'll remember that bloodthirsty laugh till the day I die.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Thank you, Mr Black. Don't say anything to anybody about this.

0:53:00 > 0:53:04- Why, Captain, what a pleasant surprise.- Pleasure's all mine.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07# Step right back and watch him grin

0:53:07 > 0:53:09# An elbow hook and sling him again... #

0:53:34 > 0:53:36What was Dempster talking to you about?

0:53:36 > 0:53:39- Don't be so inquisitive. - I want to know.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41What's the matter? Jealous?

0:53:42 > 0:53:43# Swing that gin across this set

0:53:43 > 0:53:46# Hurry up, gal, you're not through yet... #

0:54:01 > 0:54:03# All around your left hand lady

0:54:03 > 0:54:05# See-saw, you put a little on... #

0:54:29 > 0:54:30We meet again, Captain.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33You and Mr Murray seem to be getting along nicely.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36- What makes you think so? - Did you ever see him before?- Yes.

0:54:36 > 0:54:39- Where?- Tonight. At the supper table.

0:54:39 > 0:54:43- Are you quite sure...- Captain...Mr Murray is the kind of man a woman would never forget.

0:54:43 > 0:54:46Did you get a good look at the man who held you up?

0:55:04 > 0:55:06Miss Lorabelle, you dropped these.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12- I'll take them, honey. - I'll take them.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19Captain, see that those gates are open pronto.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Put that child down, Vaughn.

0:55:20 > 0:55:23I'll put her down when I'm free and clear of this fort.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25I said I want those gates open.

0:55:25 > 0:55:26Get moving, Lorabelle.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29- I'm not going. - What's the matter? Lost your nerve?

0:55:29 > 0:55:31No, my taste.

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Suits me fine. Three's a crowd.

0:55:36 > 0:55:39Nobody get behind me.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41I said nobody. Now get back.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44That's more like it.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47Stay where you are. Except you, Captain.

0:55:47 > 0:55:51You're coming with me. When you get outside, give that order about the gate. Now start moving.

0:55:54 > 0:55:55That's close enough.

0:56:02 > 0:56:06Now, Captain, give that order about that gate, and make it real loud.

0:56:07 > 0:56:08Open the gates!

0:56:10 > 0:56:13DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:56:28 > 0:56:33- Nancy! Nancy, are you all right? - Daddy!

0:56:33 > 0:56:35Now, now. You were very brave.

0:56:35 > 0:56:39- Is she all right, Captain? - Sergeant, lock her up.- Yes, sir.

0:56:48 > 0:56:52# He kept riding all night through till the morning came in view

0:56:52 > 0:56:56# Then approached the rendezvous to meet his men

0:56:56 > 0:57:00# They were happy as could be for they were back to three

0:57:00 > 0:57:03# And they felt that they were free to rob again

0:57:04 > 0:57:07# They began to cover ground and then suddenly they found

0:57:07 > 0:57:13# There were redskins all around the cliffs

0:57:13 > 0:57:17# All their guilty eyes could see was the wounded brave as he

0:57:17 > 0:57:20# Recognised the wicked three and told his chief

0:57:20 > 0:57:24# But they kept on riding through Some Navajos knew

0:57:24 > 0:57:27# That death was riding too and time was free

0:57:27 > 0:57:30# There were agents to the left

0:57:33 > 0:57:35# There were agents to the right

0:57:38 > 0:57:41# And the bandits knew they were not for sport

0:57:41 > 0:57:45# No matter where they turned the Navajos appeared

0:57:45 > 0:57:47# They were trapped and so they rode back to the fort. #

0:57:52 > 0:57:53Open the gate!

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Come here, Mr Vaughn.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29Sergeant, lock 'em up.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31All right, pick 'em up.

0:58:35 > 0:58:38Sir, Chief Paako bearing a flag of truce is outside the fort.

0:58:38 > 0:58:40- A flag of truce?- Yes, sir. - There's still hope.

0:58:40 > 0:58:41Let's see what he wants.

0:58:48 > 0:58:50You stay here, lieutenant.

0:58:56 > 0:58:59Chief Paako! If you come in peace, I welcome you.

0:58:59 > 0:59:02We come for the bad white man who harm my people.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04You give him them to me, I go in peace.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06I welcome your aid, Chief Paako,

0:59:06 > 0:59:09you and your tribe can be witnesses against them when they're tried.

0:59:09 > 0:59:11I refuse to wait for white man's justice.

0:59:12 > 0:59:14Anger dies as time goes by.

0:59:19 > 0:59:22When the shadow of spear move from west to east,

0:59:22 > 0:59:24my patience will have ended.

0:59:24 > 0:59:26If by that time you do not return the guilty ones to me,

0:59:26 > 0:59:29we shall attack.

0:59:39 > 0:59:42I'm in favour of turning them over. It's a cheap enough price for peace.

0:59:42 > 0:59:44Are you ready to resign your commission?

0:59:44 > 0:59:48- We're terribly outnumbered.- That's the tough part of being a soldier. Talking won't do us any good now.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50In less than 30 minutes they'll attack.

0:59:50 > 0:59:51Captain, we can't afford another mistake.

0:59:51 > 0:59:55- Another mistake, lieutenant?- I think it was a mistake to allow the coach to leave the fort unprotected.

0:59:55 > 0:59:59- Any further orders, Captain? - Yes, sergeant. Empty the arsenal. Pass out all the ammunition.

0:59:59 > 1:00:02Have Jamora get through to the next fort and send for reinforcements.

1:00:02 > 1:00:06- If anybody can get through the Navajos, he can.- Yes, sir.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09Captain, the lives of our women

1:00:09 > 1:00:10and children mean more than the Vaughn Gang.

1:00:10 > 1:00:13Of course they do, but we have a sworn duty to preserve law and order.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15As long as I'm in command we'll do it my way.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18I want you to know that if we all aren't massacred, I intend to voice my...

1:00:18 > 1:00:20Lieutenant, you're under orders.

1:00:20 > 1:00:21Put all the children in the schoolhouse.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24- And the women?- They can reload the rifles and care for the wounded.

1:00:24 > 1:00:26Yes, sir.

1:00:26 > 1:00:27One thing more, lieutenant.

1:00:29 > 1:00:30Bring the prisoners to me.

1:00:30 > 1:00:34- They started this thing, let's see if they can help to finish it. - Yes, sir.

1:00:48 > 1:00:50- I want you to help care for the wounded.- I'll be glad too.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52- You should be.- Captain! - I know, you're sorry.

1:00:52 > 1:00:54You keep saying that and I keep believing you.

1:00:54 > 1:00:58- I don't expect you to believe me. - Tell that to your grandmother.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00- What do you want me to do?- Follow me.

1:01:03 > 1:01:06Be good, children. I'll sing you a song.

1:01:16 > 1:01:20# There were redskins all about And we needed help no doubt

1:01:20 > 1:01:23# So the sergeant sent a scout to Fort Marcy

1:01:23 > 1:01:27# We were hoping he'd get through by a secret way he new

1:01:27 > 1:01:30# But a redskin came in view and shot him dead

1:01:30 > 1:01:32# They heard the rifle boom

1:01:32 > 1:01:34# It filled their hearts with gloom

1:01:34 > 1:01:37# For that bullet sealed the doom for Slaughter Trail

1:01:37 > 1:01:41# In the sky the morning sun's out as each able soldier runs out

1:01:41 > 1:01:44# And the sergeant passes guns out to each man

1:01:44 > 1:01:47# Since the cavalry's kind of short now

1:01:47 > 1:01:49# The civilians lend support now

1:01:49 > 1:01:52# The must help to hold the fort now if they can

1:01:52 > 1:01:57# It's a ticklish proposition when you're short of ammunition

1:01:57 > 1:02:02# And a bow is in position everywhere

1:02:02 > 1:02:06# A soldier fears to mention that moment of suspension

1:02:06 > 1:02:11# When he feels the mounting tension in the air

1:02:11 > 1:02:15# Now the shadow moves

1:02:15 > 1:02:18# And the redskins watch it through

1:02:20 > 1:02:25# As we watch the shadow move we hold our breath

1:02:25 > 1:02:29# As the Indians watch and wait we all contemplate our fate

1:02:29 > 1:02:34# Can the shadow be a harbinger of death?

1:02:34 > 1:02:38# With your rifle primed as that shadow moves you pray

1:02:38 > 1:02:42# How you wish there was a way to move it back

1:02:42 > 1:02:47# Now it seems the shadow's flying comes a moment now for dying

1:02:47 > 1:02:50# And you hear Chief Paako cry attack! #

1:02:50 > 1:02:52SCREAMING

1:03:27 > 1:03:29They're coming in all directions.

1:03:29 > 1:03:31Now we'll wait, but we'll show 'em some strength.

1:03:31 > 1:03:33I need six volunteers to go outside the fort

1:03:33 > 1:03:36- and form a perimeter of defence. - I'll go, sir.

1:03:38 > 1:03:42- Oh, Hardsaddle, not you. - What did you expect? General Custer?

1:03:42 > 1:03:44I'd like to go too, sir.

1:03:44 > 1:03:47Just a minute, Lieutenant, you three are volunteering too.

1:03:47 > 1:03:49Anybody going out there will be committing suicide.

1:03:49 > 1:03:51- That's murder.- Then you ought to feel right at home.

1:03:51 > 1:03:54Give 'em some guns and get 'em out of here.

1:04:03 > 1:04:05Good luck, Lieutenant.

1:04:06 > 1:04:08Now shoot the first man who tries to make a break.

1:04:22 > 1:04:23Hold it. I'll tell you when.

1:04:26 > 1:04:29Wait until they're close. We've got to make every bullet count.

1:04:33 > 1:04:34GUNSHOTS

1:04:36 > 1:04:37Fire!

1:05:04 > 1:05:07There's so many Indians, I don't know which one to shoot first.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10- Well, shoot the closest one to you. - OK, here goes.

1:05:12 > 1:05:14- Did you get him?- Yep.- Where?

1:05:14 > 1:05:16It will be a long time before he can ride again.

1:05:30 > 1:05:34They're trying to surround us. Send some more men to the rear.

1:05:34 > 1:05:36We hardly have men to hold down this section.

1:05:36 > 1:05:37Do the best you can.

1:06:56 > 1:06:58- Are you all right?- Yes. Nothing serious.

1:06:58 > 1:07:00- Will you take care of the children? - Yes.

1:07:02 > 1:07:04The children are safe, Captain.

1:07:04 > 1:07:07I saw what you did, Ms Larkin, that was quick thinking. Thanks.

1:07:07 > 1:07:11Better get back to your men, I'll look after the children.

1:08:32 > 1:08:36# The redskin made his kill and he cried out loud and shrill

1:08:36 > 1:08:39# To his tribesman on the hill and then we saw

1:08:39 > 1:08:43# That the Indian waiting there shot a signal in the air

1:08:43 > 1:08:47# And when Paako saw the flare he cried withdraw! #

1:08:47 > 1:08:48Cease firing.

1:09:02 > 1:09:05# They hadn't been defeated yet the Navajos retreated

1:09:05 > 1:09:09# And the tale is oft repeated to this day

1:09:09 > 1:09:12# When the bandits' lives are ended just as Paako had intended

1:09:12 > 1:09:16# All the redskins proud and splendid rode away

1:09:16 > 1:09:19# You can only hear the sound of the hoof beats on the ground

1:09:19 > 1:09:22# As they redskins rode around the Slaughter Trail. #

1:09:23 > 1:09:25Lieutenant Morgan to see you, sir.

1:09:25 > 1:09:30- All right, and bring Ms Larkin here, will you?- Yes, sir.

1:09:30 > 1:09:32All the wounded are in the schoolhouse.

1:09:32 > 1:09:34It could have been worse.

1:09:36 > 1:09:39Lieutenant, you can make any report you like.

1:09:39 > 1:09:41I'll send it through.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43Well, I changed my mind, Captain.

1:09:43 > 1:09:46Perhaps things worked out for the best.

1:09:46 > 1:09:47As your responsibilities increase,

1:09:47 > 1:09:49you'll have to make quick decisions too.

1:09:49 > 1:09:52If you're lucky, a few of them will be good ones.

1:09:52 > 1:09:53Yes, sir.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02- Where's Ms Larkin? - She won't come, sir.

1:10:02 > 1:10:04What the blue blazes?! Why won't she?

1:10:04 > 1:10:06- Well, she's in jail.- Jail?!

1:10:06 > 1:10:08I specifically gave the order to release her.

1:10:08 > 1:10:09Well, I know you did, sir,

1:10:09 > 1:10:12but she walked right back in there as soon as the fighting was over

1:10:12 > 1:10:14- and won't come out.- What?

1:10:14 > 1:10:17How do you figure that woman? Me, I'd rather tangle with the Indians.

1:10:25 > 1:10:26Nancy, what are you doing here?

1:10:26 > 1:10:29I tried to send her out, but she wouldn't go.

1:10:29 > 1:10:30I want to stay with Lorabelle.

1:10:30 > 1:10:32Now you may be my commanding officer,

1:10:32 > 1:10:34but I'm still in charge of the fort.

1:10:34 > 1:10:36You run along with the sergeant.

1:10:36 > 1:10:38Daddy, please don't send Lorabelle away.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40Nancy, you better do as your daddy says.

1:10:43 > 1:10:45I sent for you, Ms Larkin.

1:10:46 > 1:10:48This cell isn't my idea, Captain.

1:10:51 > 1:10:52I wanted to tell you that you're free to go.

1:10:56 > 1:10:57Am I?

1:10:57 > 1:11:00What I'm trying to say is that...

1:11:00 > 1:11:02Now I'm sorry, I hope you believe that.

1:11:07 > 1:11:08Does it matter?

1:11:10 > 1:11:12I think it does.

1:11:12 > 1:11:14Children are usually right about people.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18What about commanding officers?

1:11:18 > 1:11:21There's a west bound stage leaving in an hour.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23You think you can be ready by then?

1:11:24 > 1:11:26I'll be ready.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36# Now the stage is set to roll

1:11:36 > 1:11:39# And towards the coach they strolled

1:11:39 > 1:11:42# There are feelings to control before they part

1:11:44 > 1:11:49# Now she kisses Nancy's cheek but the captain cannot speak

1:11:49 > 1:11:53# For the strongest men turn weak when ruled by heart

1:11:55 > 1:11:56# They had evened up the score

1:11:56 > 1:11:58# Then the soldier closed the door

1:11:58 > 1:12:02# For the stage was right once more on Slaughter Trail

1:12:02 > 1:12:05# Nancy waved to Lorabelle and her heart began to swell

1:12:05 > 1:12:09# When the Captain waved farewell and she knew then

1:12:09 > 1:12:11# That from now on come what may

1:12:11 > 1:12:13# She would live the righteous way

1:12:13 > 1:12:16# And she hoped perhaps one day they'll meet again

1:12:16 > 1:12:20# You can only hear the sound of the hoof beats on the ground

1:12:20 > 1:12:24# And the wheels as they went round the Slaughter Trail

1:12:24 > 1:12:28# And so our story ends

1:12:28 > 1:12:31# Thanks for listening, my friends

1:12:31 > 1:12:37# At last we've reached the end of Slaughter Trail. #
