0:46 Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie, where nature reveals all their gold. Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie, where the song of the West be told.
1:16 is rolling.
1:17 And the trail is rather long, where a cowboy's heart is happy with a song. Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie. Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie.
1:47 When nature reveals all their gold. Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie. Let the song of the West be told.
2:09 Where the tumbleweed is rollin' and the trail gather long. Where the cowboy's heart is happy with a song.
2:23 Oh, let me keep roaming the prairie.
2:30 Oh, let me keep roaming along.
2:42 All right, you get out of there.
2:47 Are you Smokey Hammer?
2:49 Yeah.
2:51 Don't tell me this is a reception committee.
2:53 Yeah, it is.
2:54 The music starts in just a minute.
2:56 All right, driver, beat it!
3:23 I'm not sure.
3:26 I'm going to go.
3:50 Hit bad, Bonta? I just creaked my shoulder.
3:53 Smokey.
3:54 Tom!
3:56 Well, it was a lucky break for me, haven't you come along?

767 more segments

3:58 Not so sure of that. How's your shoulder?
4:00 Well, it's still glued to my arm. Once again, I always use cherry water.
4:05 Well, burn me for a butcher. Smokey Hammer. Hello, fuzzy.
4:09 Chuck, you said you was going to meet us at the Barbie X Ranch.
4:12 Mighty nights, you fellas. Come down here.
4:14 Well, as soon as I got your letter, I dropped everything.
4:16 Thought it'd be kinda nice to go back to ranch in for a while.
4:19 Tom, I'm...
4:20 Got a hunch it's not gonna be so nice.
4:21 Why?
4:23 Those bandits weren't after my money.
4:25 No.
4:26 Well, there was a World Fargo box full of cash on that stage, and they never even touched it.
4:30 Doesn't make sense. Maybe the reform bandit.
4:32 Well, I think it was me that were after.
4:34 After you?
4:35 Yeah.
4:37 See, I own a half interest in the Barbie X Ranch.
4:39 That's why I wrote for you fellas to come down here, help me run it.
4:42 I'll save your story till we get this shoulder fixed.
4:45 come on
4:45 Yeah, yeah.
4:50 The Barbie X Ranch belong to my father, Jeffrey Hammer.
4:53 He was murdered when I was just a kid.
4:55 Yes, I remember you talking about it.
4:58 Didn't you have it, sister?
4:59 Yes?
5:00 Yeah.
5:00 Here, I'll show you a picture of her.
5:04 A mighty pretty girl.
5:07 I think that that's your father. Yeah.
5:09 Her mother died when Tess was born.
5:12 He looked just like your father.
5:14 Well, they're kind of close.
5:16 What happened to your sister?
5:18 As far as I know, she was raised by the former of the bar BX after Dad was killed.
5:22 I never heard a word from her.
5:24 I wrote her that I was coming down here, but she didn't get the letter, eh?
5:28 What makes you say that?
5:29 Just a hunch.
5:31 Somebody's interested in keeping you away from the Barbie X ranch. Somebody might have been reading mail that didn't belong to him.
5:37 I never thought of that.
5:38 You know, Smokey, I have an idea that you ought to stay dead for a while. Hey, you...
5:42 You mean a corpse?
5:44 Oh, sort of.
5:45 I have a hunch the man who killed your father tried to kill you.
5:49 If we let them think you're dead...
5:51 Maybe you'll show his hand.
5:53 You know, Tom, I think you hit something.
5:55 I hope so.
5:56 Anyway, it's healthier for you to keep away from the bar BX for a while.
5:59 Fuzzy?
6:00 Go get your spade.
6:02 Now you're talking.
6:04 While Smokey's playing dead, we can dig for gold.
6:07 Start digging right here.
6:10 Tom, any lop-eared maverick can tell you there ain't no gold here.
6:14 No gold, Fuzzy.
6:15 Smokey's grave.
6:22 Smokey's underneath the ground.
6:26 We put him where he won't be found.
6:29 Let's drink a toast.
6:31 to smoke.
6:31 Cheese ghost.
6:32 - Smokies underneath
6:34 Third ground.
6:39 We put him where he never will be found. Underground. Oh, he won't.
6:43 Gifford's under six feet of dirt.
6:46 Smokey's underneath.
6:47 their ground.
6:50 Boy, that gray's going to be lonesome without a ghost to haunt it. Anyway.
6:54 Maybe we'll let you be the goat.
6:56 Uh-uh, mean? No, you don't. Not, sir.
6:59 Come on, we've got to find a hiding place for Smoky.
7:09 Mm.
7:13 I'm.
7:27 Ha!
7:35 - Oh.
7:38 Well, that's straight on her head, Johnson. Yes, I know.
7:45 Looks as if you don't like paying toll, Johnson.
7:50 Just a moment, please.
7:54 When do ranchers have to pay toll to pass through my father's rangeland?
7:58 That's our job.
8:00 I'm glad you came, Miss Hess.
8:02 Why, it's a client of Judge Toll here.
8:05 This route's the only route us ranches can take.
8:07 to move our cattle to market.
8:09 And after we get through Payne's toll,
8:11 There isn't anything left to live on.
8:14 Things long route who cares if I do that most the capital died before they reach market
8:19 That's nothing but waste land and no water. Return Mr. Johnson's money at once.
8:23 Can't do that, ma'am.
8:24 I've got orders.
8:25 - Dringle, you're fired. - That won't do any good, ma'am.
8:28 Your father sent another man right here to collect toll.
8:31 You're pretty smart, Johnson.
8:38 Looks like trouble.
8:39 Come on.
8:46 Howdy, Mr. Ed.
8:47 Anything wrong?
8:48 Johnson here squawking about paying toll. I ain't never heard you complaining any, Mr. Arknusk.
8:53 No, that's true, Ringo.
8:55 I'm glad to run my cattle too bold a path. That's very kind of you.
8:58 Mr. Hartnett, but it isn't fair. It certainly isn't.
9:01 Well, now, I reckon your father knows what he's doing, Miss Tess.
9:04 Speak to him about it right now.
9:24 Go after the girls.
9:26 Now that we've got rid of Smokey Hammer, we might as well get rid of the rest of the family.
9:30 not gonna like that.
9:32 Who's giving orders?
9:50 I'll see you next time.
10:09 *crash*
10:26 That Umbry don't look like a fella just out riding with his gail.
10:30 No.
10:31 I've always had a hankering for new faces.
10:33 especially behind masks.
10:35 You go after the girl. I'll take care of our friend.
10:39 I'll see you next time.
10:46 Oh, my God.
11:21 Yeah.
11:29 She needs help.
11:36 I'm so excited.
11:40 Okay.
11:41 Now, my friend, let's see what's behind that bandana.
12:47 I keep telling you, I...
12:49 Didn't try the whole year.
12:51 No, you only tried to kill me.
12:53 Ah.
12:55 - Sucks, I wouldn't shoot a lady. - Oh, I'm not a lady. - Oh yeah, I--
12:59 Sure you are. You...
13:01 Well, I, uh...
13:02 Oh, go ahead and listen.
13:04 Shucks, I never did win an argument with a woman. No, and you never will. Now, you're tough.
13:17 There. There.
13:20 Ah!
13:23 - Uh.
13:27 Now, here comes somebody who...
13:28 True citizen.
13:29 I'm not a...
13:34 Hey.
13:34 Tom, will you tell this female cat who I is? Do you know him?
13:45 Never saw him before in my life.
13:47 Oh.
13:48 Just as I thought.
13:49 Before the law is through with you, you'll be sorry you ever came to the Barbie X Ranch. Lady, you ain't fooling.
13:55 Bar BX, is it your ranch, ma'am?
13:56 - That's my father.
13:58 Who's your father?
13:58 - It's Sidney Clayton.
13:59 I'm Tess Clayton.
14:09 There's the sheriff.
14:11 He'll take care of you.
14:12 I beg your pardon, man, but this is all a mistake. Howdy, Miss Tess.
14:16 Who's that you got hogtied? A bandit and you're just in time.
14:19 A bandit, huh?
14:21 Stagecoach driver reported being held up.
14:24 Outlaws killed a man by the name of Smokey Hammer.
14:27 We've been searching for the murderers everywhere.
14:29 Hey.
14:30 Maybe this hombre helped kill Smokey.
14:33 Sorry to disappoint you, Sheriff, but this here's my buddy, Fuzzy Jones.
14:37 I thought you'd...
14:37 - I said you didn't know this.
14:38 I was only joking.
14:40 Well, it's no joke to me.
14:41 And I'm gonna hold you both under suspicion of murder.
14:44 Now what did you do with the body?
14:45 Labardi?
14:47 Oh, yes.
14:48 We buried it. Oh, then you admit that you killed Smokey.
14:51 No, Smokey was my best friend.
14:53 Here.
14:54 This improvement...
15:02 Well, I guess you're telling the truth, stranger.
15:05 Tell me.
15:06 What did you mean when you said you buried the body?
15:09 Well, we saw the murder being committed, but we were too late to do anything about it.
15:13 But after it was all over, we thought it would be too bad to leave line there to be eaten up by the buzzards.
15:17 So we dug him a grave up beyond Boulder Pass.
15:20 You mean I dug it?
15:22 You're telling the truth, all right.
15:24 We saw a fresh dug grave up there, but you should have reported it first.
15:28 Sorry, Sheriff. I meant to, but we saw somebody trying to hold up this young lady.
15:31 Probably the same outlaws that killed Smokey.
15:33 I kind of think so myself. I'll find those outlaws if it's the last thing I do.
15:37 Well, I'll be on my way.
15:47 Amen.
15:57 Hey.
15:59 mind if I'd join you folks for a while and
16:03 Sorry things turned out this way miss, but...
16:05 With Smokey gone,
16:07 Fuzzy and I are out of a job. Yes.
16:09 Just the poorest, starving critter, that's me.
16:15 No.
16:41 Oh, Dad, did you know the stage coach was held up and a man named Rocky Hammer was murdered?
16:48 Murdered?
16:49 Yes, these gentlemen were friends of his.
16:51 They tried to save his life, but it was too late.
16:54 Is that so?
16:56 Then I was shot up by a bandit, but...
16:58 Mr. Cameron here, Mr. Jones, chased him away.
17:01 Well I'm mighty grateful to you too and if there's anything I can do to replace. I've only shown my gratitude by offering them jobs at the ranch.
17:08 Perhaps you know we can't afford to hire any more men. But, Dad, this is difficult.
17:13 Very well, since you promised them, I suppose I'll have to give them a job.
17:17 Dad.
17:18 another thing
17:19 About that toll charge at Boulder Pass.
17:22 No, not now, Tess. I'm too busy.
17:24 Explain to them that you these
17:31 Well, I know we can use a good cook.
17:34 Can you cook? No, but he can.
17:36 - Well, we can only pay about... - Oh, that's enough. I can't work for that.
17:57 killed.
17:58 It's great.
17:59 Must have come here about the girl. You got those circuits ready?
18:03 global will make it snappy and stop is a.
18:13 Hello, Sid.
18:14 Hello, Bill.
18:16 Take a seat, I'll deal you.
18:23 Gil, I thought we agreed not to kill Smokey Hammer.
18:27 Well?
18:28 dead.
18:30 Not only that somebody tried to kill Cass.
18:45 Yes, so the sheriff was telling me.
18:48 Stop here a while back.
18:50 I'm ashamed about Smokey Hammer.
18:52 You know, the agreement was that you were just to scare him so he'd go back to where he came from.
18:57 Why'd you kill him?
18:59 Excellent.
18:59 happen, see?
19:01 Besides, what difference does it make? He's better off dead than alive. I told you before I didn't want anything more to do with murder.
19:07 After the first one,
19:09 The others don't mean anything. You killed old Jeff Hammer, not me.
19:13 You're in this thing, up to your neck. So don't get Church going with me.
19:19 As long as you do as I say, you'll continue to live as a rich retired rancher.
19:24 Otherwise, you're just going to retire.
19:27 Like old Jeff.
19:30 You got those triggers there, Jake?
19:33 Yes, sir.
19:37 Read this.
19:38 Notice to Rogers.
19:39 Toll right through Boulder Pass goes up beginning August 2nd.
19:43 said Clayton.
19:45 That's tomorrow.
19:46 You can't do that, Gil.
19:48 The Russians are grumbling about the rate we charge them now. Let them grumble.
19:52 Dr. Barbie XO and Boulder Pass?
19:54 And who's running to Bobby X?
19:57 Yours truly.
19:58 But listen, dear, you can't...
20:00 Charlie Andrews is coming through with a thousand hit of cattle tomorrow.
20:04 That's going to mean a lot of toll money, Steve.
20:07 I hear.
20:08 Better get these around.
20:09 No one second thought I think I'll have Jake.
20:13 As a matter of fact, Sid,
20:14 For your own safety, I'm going to have Jake stay at the barbie X.
20:18 Now, you better run on along home.
20:26 Oh, by the way, Sid.
20:29 uh... tell kids that i'm coming over to see you tonight
20:32 I'm going to stay for supper.
20:34 You know, I've always had a hankering for your daughter.
20:38 I'll tell her, but I don't know how she'll walk on me this time.
20:41 Gil, because you know my daughter has ideas of her own.
20:45 Well, you just tell her.
20:51 You know, the way he yanked your big test hammer really was his daughter.
20:56 I say Gil.
20:57 Suppose the gal finds out that Clayton's not her father.
21:00 Yeah, well, she will.
21:02 Besides, he's gonna be changing the name to...
21:05 Harkness pretty shortly.
21:07 Here, get back to work.
21:09 All right, boys, deal a card.
21:58 *gunshot*
22:22 *thud*
22:49 The letter is...
22:52 I wonder what that means.
23:04 Oh, the grass is always green in Sunshine Valley, and the low in cattle grazing all the day. I can see a rippling stream in Sunshine Valley, where I used to dream a wilder time away.
23:34 He's home, I went my way
23:38 Cause the grass is always green in Sunshine Valley. And it's there forevermore, I'll want to stay. Oh, the grass is always green in Sunshine Valley. And below in cattle grazing all the day. I can see a rippling stream in Sunshine Valley.
24:08 the time away. When the roundup time is over, over hill and dale, I'll roam back to home, sweet home, I'll went my way. 'Cause the grass is always green in Sunshine Valley, and it's there forevermore, I'll wanna stay.
24:40 Okay.
24:43 Oh, Gilder.
24:44 I was cracking up this poster when I heard it, heard shooting.
24:46 Well, why tell me?
24:48 I'm not your boss.
24:50 Oh yeah.
24:50 Yeah, that's right.
24:52 Mr. Clayton.
24:53 was tracking up this poster when the shooting started.
24:56 It was just like you said the spirits had just
25:05 Well, go on.
25:06 Mr. Clayton has listened.
25:08 Oh, yes.
25:09 Well, just as soon as they shoot and stop us, now to run a little bit of quota.
25:12 This is what I found.
25:13 The letter...
25:15 Yes.
25:23 What do you think of it, Harkness?
25:26 All right, see, somebody don't like the idea of paying you more toll.
25:31 If I were you, I'd take it up with the sheriff.
25:34 Wait.
25:36 Do you believe in ghosts?
25:37 No, of course not.
25:39 Oh, I do.
25:40 But that doesn't look what we're talking about. Seems to me that stands for something.
25:44 Sure.
25:45 The 19th letter in the alphabet.
25:47 - The location sure is wonderful.
25:49 I think it stands for Smokey.
25:51 Smokey Hammer.
25:52 You're crazy.
25:54 Why don't you mind your own business?
25:56 Fuck this is right Cameron keep your full ideas to yourself.
26:00 Where I...
26:02 I think I'd better go. Thanks for the supper, Miss Chess.
26:05 You are. Good night, Chief. Good night, Gail. Good night.
26:15 Hey, Jake, do you mind holding me?
26:21 Have you got a match?
26:29 Kind of nervous, don't he?
26:30 All right, you two get busy and clean up those broken dishes. Yes, sir.
26:38 Yes? What is it?
26:41 You know that fellow that was telling me about the ghost?
26:43 He's the one that kept me from running down the gallop.
26:46 I thought there was something I didn't like about him.
26:48 Well, keep an eye on him, Jake.
26:50 I wonder who shot up that notice.
26:53 You don't suppose it was really Smokey's ghost?
26:55 Ah, you fool.
27:28 Dad, I saw someone at the window.
27:31 Do you recognize him? No, I didn't get a good look at his face.
27:33 Did you, Mr. Cameron?
27:35 No, I didn't see anything.
27:36 Maybe I'd better go have a look.
27:46 You better go back in the house. Be careful there.
27:51 Tom, you don't believe in ghosts, do you? No, but Jake does.
27:55 Smokey makes a pretty smart ghost.
27:59 So the total goes up tomorrow way we better talk about that. Hey Tom.
28:06 Smoke.
28:07 uh
28:08 Fuzzy, get out behind the house and keep your eyes open.
28:10 Oh, okay.
28:11 You shouldn't have come here Smokey it's dangerous you're likely to be shot on sight.
28:14 Yeah, I know that, but I wanted to show you this, Tom.
28:16 Oh yes I know about that here's another one.
28:22 Well, I could mind this one that umbrage hide.
28:26 Say, Tom, wasn't that girl Tess? Yes, but we can't talk about that now.
28:29 Yeah, but what about this toll business? I've got an idea on that, too. I'll tell you about it later.
28:33 of time.
28:33 Clayton's in the back of the house.
28:36 Uh-huh.
28:36 Go outside to start a rumpus.
28:38 I got you.
28:48 A girl's coming, Smokey.
28:50 Find behind the desk.
28:55 Prairie girl of my dreams, heaven brought you is.
29:00 be.
29:01 Sweet Susanna, my flower so rare.
29:07 I was thrilled.
29:09 Oh, please don't stop. You're the fine boy.
29:17 Well, with your permission, I'll go right on singing then.
29:20 I was thrilled from the start when you lassoed my heart.
29:25 Sweet Susanna, my...
29:28 BANG!
29:32 All right, Smokey, beat it.
29:40 It sounded like it came from the barn.
29:44 Where is he?
29:45 They're hiding in the barn.
29:47 Come out, you yellow-fellied varmints, or you're going to be deader than a bear rush.
29:52 Whoever you are, come out with your hands high.
29:58 Don't shoot.
30:00 I ain't done nothing, Clayton. I was...
30:03 News!
30:04 Uh...
30:09 - I'll say you would get.
30:11 Well, yeah.
30:13 Well, how can you sleep with the...
30:15 Smokey's Goose prowling around.
30:21 Do you really think that...
30:23 He's a hawk.
30:24 There's no use of cutting your nerves around here.
30:26 Now, uh...
30:27 Come on, I'll tell you a story. They'll calm you down. Well, that'd be good.
30:38 Hey, how do you
30:40 What's that story?
30:41 Once upon a time,
30:43 There was a little gal named White Riding Hood. Yeah.
30:45 Now, the reason she was called...
30:48 little white riding hood
30:49 because she was Little Red Riding Hood.
30:52 Ghost.
30:53 more than
30:54 Now, Annie, what...
30:56 One day...
30:57 The ghost, that little red one, no, it's ghost.
31:00 Came in to visit her.
31:01 And of course, there's a red riding hood.
31:03 She was awfully scared.
31:05 That didn't do any good. She just started to back up.
31:08 She's back. Hey, did you ever have a ghost visit you?
31:11 No, no, let me.
31:13 well
31:13 They don't do any good because you just keep backing them.
31:15 And back.
31:17 And back in the book.
31:22 What happened?
31:23 when you catch them.
31:23 When the big wolf comes in!
31:33 I'm out.
31:48 All right.
32:00 Don't take it so hard and life too short. Oh
32:04 Don't be surprised, Ringo, if someday you don't find life a little shorter.
32:18 I'll take that money
32:38 Go get the sheriff. I'll write in and tell Clayton.
32:50 Yes it's all money.
32:52 Why?
32:53 I don't understand. It's nothing to understand. It's your money, isn't it? Just don't say anything to anybody.
33:02 Hey!
33:03 Who are you?
33:05 He sure can't be one of Clayton's men.
33:16 the
33:28 for this bit
33:29 Andrew thought that money came straight from heaven I guess.
33:31 Hey, Tom, when am I going to see Tess?
33:33 Soon, today maybe.
33:35 We got to break this to a gently, you know.
33:36 Yeah what burns me up as Clayton posing as her father and getting away with it.
33:46 Head in this direction.
33:48 You better stay here.
33:49 I'll give them a ride for their money.
34:50 Oh, Miss Tess.
34:52 There's something I've been wanting to ask you. Yes?
34:55 Will you marry me?
34:57 Your heart, miss.
34:59 don't know what to
34:59 Okay.
35:00 Naturally.
35:01 - Slat.
35:03 I don't love you.
35:05 Well, I...
35:06 I'd be kind of hoping that you'd learn to.
35:09 Oh, Tess, darling.
35:11 I gotta talk to you.
35:16 Now, there's no use getting sore. I'm perfectly willing to do anything you want about our wedding. You can have a large wedding or a small one. Personally, I think we ought to have a large one. Don't you, mister? Hey, look here. Then we can invite all the ranch folks. But who... Yeah, I thought of that, too. Who would come to the wedding with your father charging all that toll money?
35:30 I wish he wouldn't do that. It's not good for a young couple like us to start out married life with everybody hating us. Miss Tess, who is this man? Why, I...
35:36 How dare you come here? I'll never even see you. Now, don't get upset, sweetheart. I know you don't like me talking this way about your father, but, well, right's right. I don't know what you're talking about.
35:45 Lester, would you mind leaving us alone for a moment? You know, two is company, three is a crowd. Don't go, Mr. Harkness.
35:50 Now you get out of here right this minute.
35:52 Oh, now, sweetheart, you know you don't mean that. I don't know this man. I've never even seen him before. Well, what have you got to say to that?
35:59 Just hysterical. Women often get that way, especially before they're married. Pull up all the nerves. Now, look here, you.
36:05 What?
36:08 I can't explain right now, Tess, but that Harkness Humber is no good.
36:11 Now you get off this ranch.
36:13 real hammer spirit.
36:15 *door opens*
36:22 Thanks, mister.
36:23 Don't thank me. You heard what the lady said, didn't you? Come on, get out.
36:26 Come on.
36:32 Come on, you. Get out of here.
36:36 You're taking a big chance coming here Smokey. I just want to get a good look at this.
36:40 Tom, I don't like her being mixed up with those coyotes.
36:43 Yeah, I know. But don't worry.
36:45 Yeah, but Harkness wants to marry her.
36:46 Oh, he does, does he?
36:48 I reckon it's about time we put test wise the thing.
36:51 You leave it to me.
36:52 All right.
37:08 Kind of a snooping ornery looking hombre wasn't he? Oh, I don't know this.
37:12 Something about him.
37:13 I can't explain.
37:14 Well, there's something I can explain.
37:16 Cameron, from now on, you mind your own business.
37:19 the man in the back is always stuck in my craw.
37:22 Well, red hands should be seen and not heard.
37:25 That's right, Mr. Pester.
37:37 Bandit tell us up at Boulder Pass.
37:39 They took all the toll money. Bandit.
37:41 When did this happen?
37:42 A while ago, I tried to reach you at the house. Never mind that.
37:45 I'm not your boss.
37:46 Why don't you come here and tell Mr. Clayton?
37:48 Well, I was gonna. Oh, go get the sheriff. I sent Muley after him. Fine. Well, come on. Maybe we can still hit him off.
38:06 I wonder who is Bors around here?
38:15 There.
38:16 Ben has just held up Rody's hat.
38:21 How do you know? - Ringle Road in to a hospital.
38:25 - Where are they? - They went off to join the sheriff.
38:28 Oh.
38:29 Dad.
38:30 Why didn't they come in and tell you about it?
38:32 Me?
38:33 Oh, I don't know. I guess they didn't want to waste time. The way Jill Hartnett asked, you think he owned this ranch? Now, Tess, don't talk food.
38:43 But what do you want?
38:45 I came to speak to Miss Ted.
38:50 All right, but you can knock before you come in.
38:58 I'm afraid your father doesn't like me.
39:00 He's just worried. He doesn't mean anything by it.
39:03 No.
39:04 Tom.
39:06 you mean when you're
39:07 and said you wondered...
39:08 boss around here.
39:10 That's a long story, Miss Tess, but I think it's time you ought to know it.
39:13 Let's sit down.
39:20 Do you know anybody in that picture?
39:24 You're looking at your father?
39:27 Your brother?
39:28 yourself.
39:29 What do you mean?
39:32 That's Jeff Hammer.
39:34 Smokey Hammer
39:35 Not you.
39:36 past timer.
39:38 I don't even know what you're saying.
39:39 Yes, ma'am, I do.
39:40 But Smoke is dead.
39:42 No, I know I ain't.
39:43 I'm fiction.
39:44 for him right now.
39:45 And is it good?
39:55 But now to get back to our story.
39:57 See, about 15 years ago, your father, Jeff Hammer, and Mr.
40:00 and we're partners in it.
40:01 I'm going to go.
40:12 I'm going to go.
40:20 Any luck?
40:22 We haven't seen hide nor hair of them since well do something
40:26 There's too much lawlessness in Elmira County.
40:28 Hey, mister, I'm a sheriff.
40:30 Not a magician.
40:40 We shouldn't have boosted the toll rate in the first place. Shut up.
40:43 That toll rate stands.
40:45 And Ringo, if you can't use a gun, I'll get somebody who can.
40:48 Now get back to Boulder Pass.
40:52 And that's the entire story.
40:54 After all these years, I've been to the house.
41:00 Well, it's Smokey's dinner.
41:05 How would you like to take this out to your brother?
41:07 I'd love.
41:08 Then let's hurry it.
41:09 Tell him hello for me, will you?
41:40 Gil?
41:41 I was just going to look for you. Fine.
41:44 Smokey hammer's alive.
41:45 You're crazy.
41:48 What do you mean, Regan?
41:48 Cameron said so.
41:50 I even heard him tell the girl she was smoky sister.
41:52 Cameron, eh?
41:54 What are you going to do?
41:56 Plenty.
41:57 First I'm gonna see what's buried in a grave up beyond Boulder Pass.
42:00 If Smokey Hammer ain't there,
42:02 I don't know who stole that door of money.
42:04 Don't you think we'd better wait till tonight?
42:06 You want anybody to catch us fooling around that grave acting like ghouls?
42:09 Yeah.
42:10 tonight.
42:54 There she is, Smokey.
42:56 Hello, Tess. Hello, Nathan.
43:00 I don't want to say I don't know where to start. I feel the same way.
43:03 Suppose you begin by getting some food inside of you and talk it over while you're eating.
43:07 You may have something, Carl.
43:11 I'm going to go.
43:17 What a funny-looking thing I was. But you were kind of cute.
43:21 Yeah.
43:22 Smokey you were kinda cute at that. Why you.
43:25 four-legged but cute.
43:31 It's crazy.
43:41 I caught Jake sneaking in a peeking when you were talking to this test about smoking.
43:44 Now Harkness and Clayton know that Smokey ain't dead. Leastwise, they're going out to the grave tonight and dig it up to make sure.
43:49 This time they're sure to kill you, sir.
43:51 We've got to tell the sheriff. Not yet. We've got a job to do first.
43:54 What are you going to turn the door, Tom?
43:56 Well, at the moment, I don't know. Let's all sit down and try and figure it out.
44:24 All right, Jake, start digging.
44:29 Come on, get busy.
44:32 What if Smokey ain't there?
44:34 Oh, maybe.
44:36 Well, then this grave is just big enough for Cameron.
44:39 We'll dig another for Smokey later.
44:41 This time a permanent one.
44:49 All right, faster.
45:20 There he is.
45:22 It's him all right.
45:24 And you said Smokey Hammer is alive.
45:31 Blubbering idiot.
45:32 bringing me on this wild goose chase.
45:34 Throw the dirt back.
45:41 Huff!
45:43 What's the matter?
45:44 you move.
45:46 Ah, you're crazy.
45:51 Better than a cold storage heifer.
45:54 If I hear any more of this stupid talk, I'll bury you with a smokey hammer.
45:58 from liquor you've been drinking is making you see things.
46:09 We gotta get Smokey out of there.
46:14 What was that?
46:19 I don't know and I don't care to find out me too.
46:22 Come on, get busy. Get this over quick.
46:24 - I'll trap the shovel.
46:40 Well, let's...
46:40 close as I want to get to being buried for a long time.
46:43 I'm afraid you'll have to go on playing dead, though.
46:45 I feel a lot better, but Hartnett's not.
46:47 Clayton, we're in jail. Yeah, what are we fooling around about? Why don't we turn over to the sheriffs?
46:51 We had many evidence as to who killed his dad. That's right.
46:54 Even if we jailed Clayton and Harkness, nobody could prove either one of them killed him.
46:58 But one of them did.
46:59 We'll have to go right on Raiden Boulder Pass and return in the money to the ranches.
47:03 Miss Tess, you can help us by bringing information as to when cattle to move through the pass.
47:08 All right, Fuzzy, fill up the grave.
47:17 - There's 1,700 heads going through tomorrow.
47:19 Good.
47:19 I'll have a couple of my boys there.
47:25 I'm going to go.
47:41 I'm going to go.
48:10 *crash*
48:26 Look over there.
48:29 Well, that's one of them bandits.
48:32 So that's where the toll money goes to.
48:35 Right back to the rancher.
48:37 Well, it's too late to do anything now.
48:39 Yeah?
48:41 Seems kind of funny, Sid.
48:42 Those bandits know whenever the cattle go through I
48:45 You ain't getting soft and double-crossing me, are you?
48:49 Hartnett, you know I wouldn't do anything like that. Not much if you knew you could get away with it.
48:53 Well, what are you gonna do?
48:55 I got an idea.
48:56 Jake?
48:57 Tomorrow I want you to run some of my cattle through the past and pay tolls.
49:01 Nobody will know whose cattle they are.
49:03 You get that, Sid?
49:05 No one.
49:11 - Any news? - Yes, more cab at noon, but I couldn't find out who they are.
49:15 It's all right. We'll be there.
49:20 Yeah.
49:28 Mm-hmm.
49:37 - Wow.
49:39 Hold it, you men.
49:42 I'll take that money.
49:43 Go get it.
50:15 No.
50:20 Amen.
50:24 *Groan*
50:31 I'm not.
50:39 Here you are, friend.
50:42 Up with your hands, friends.
50:45 Get off that horse.
50:57 So you thought you could double courses, eh?
51:01 Cameron!
51:02 I'll admit this is a pretty clever trick on your part, Harkness.
51:06 I reckon your partner is that cook at the barbie X.
51:09 Yeah, but it was Clayton who hired us.
51:11 Creighton.
51:13 I wouldn't fall for that.
51:14 Sit yourself.
51:16 Clayton's conscience is beginning to trouble him I guess.
51:18 Old Jeff's ghost has given him nightmares.
51:21 Why, the dirty devil crossing a weasel, I...
51:48 There's one of the bandits.
51:49 Come on, men.
51:57 I'm going to go.
52:05 There's one of your men, Sheriff.
52:06 Yeah, I kind of thought it was.
52:09 Well, mister?
52:10 The law is the law, and I've got to carry it out to the letter.
52:13 But I know a lot of people down in Elmira County is going to be very sorry to see you behind prison bars.
52:18 Well, I reckon you won't be needing me anymore.
52:20 No.
52:21 You can run along and tell your friend Clayton his toll money will be safe from now on. That's what I was just going to do.
52:30 Sheriff, how'd you like to get the man who murdered old Jeffrey Hammer?
52:34 Say, I've been wanting to do that for years.
52:36 Even before I was sheriff. Well, then we gotta act quick.
52:39 What do you mean, weed?
52:41 You seem to forget you're my prisoner. You don't have to let me out of your sight for a minute.
52:45 All right, Cameron.
52:46 I'll take you on your honor.
53:17 Well, Sheriff, how does he look? Doggone if he don't look like old Jeff himself. He's a terrific likeness.
53:22 Sure glad to see you're alive, Smokey. Thank you, Sheriff.
53:25 I think we'd better get going.
53:38 - Howdy, Miss Cass. - Howdy, Sheriff.
53:44 for a smokey.
53:45 Well, Smokey...
53:46 I reckon that disguise is mighty near surefire.
53:50 What?
53:51 - Smokey. - That's right, Tess.
53:52 There's no time to explain right now but I think you better stay here till we come back.
54:11 I'm going to go.
54:26 I
54:33 Keep a lookout.
54:37 All right.
54:44 Putting away toll money.
54:48 You gave me quite a start, Gil, sneaking in like that.
54:51 Yeah?
54:52 You've been giving me the double cross.
54:55 Double cross?
54:57 I don't want to talk about. Don't play innocent with me.
55:01 What? What's happened, Miguel?
55:03 Hire and Cameron and his pal to hijack that toll money.
55:06 Why, you're a loco.
55:08 Yeah.
55:09 You mean I was loco trusting you.
55:11 I should have got rid of you longer.
55:13 Listen, Gil.
55:15 You've got me all wrong.
55:17 Just like here.
55:18 Where's the rest of that old one? I haven't got it.
55:21 I'm going to give you just two minutes to come through. This lost way again.
55:25 *thud*
55:42 Give.
55:43 But the sheriff and his men are coming.
55:45 Put yourself together.
55:46 We'll go out and talk to him.
55:47 I
55:55 Follow us there, boys.
56:02 Hello, Hartlett.
56:02 Hello, Cheryl.
56:04 I came over to pick up Cameron's pal. Have you seen anything of him?
56:07 Why, no, I haven't.
56:09 But if I do, I'll bring him into you.
56:12 Say, you'd make a mighty fine sheriff.
56:14 Oh, I'm just doing my duty as an honest...
56:17 Standin' citizens.
56:19 All right, men.
56:20 Just got her out and keep your eyes open.
56:27 Yes.
56:27 It can't be!
56:28 What was that?
56:30 Hey, that sounds like Clayton.
56:31 Let's take a look.
56:32 Get him!
56:34 You'll hurt me!
56:35 All these years I've waited for this chance, Sid.
56:44 Jeff.
56:52 You not only took my ranch,
56:55 tried to claim test as your daughter.
56:57 I did it for you, Jeff.
56:59 I took care of Tess after you were...
57:02 I mean, after you...
57:03 You disappeared.
57:05 Here.
57:06 You thought you killed me.
57:07 No.
57:08 No, not me. It wasn't me, Jeff. Harkness, he did it. Harkness, Jeff. Harkness.
57:14 Keep it over, James.
57:19 All right, get over there.
57:27 I'm going to go.
57:35 Now you move on.
57:37 Hats!
57:37 Yes!
57:39 Oh.
57:39 Come on out with your hands up.
57:44 Hey, Jay, catch.
57:47 Oh, boy.
58:03 I'm going to go.
58:10 *Rain*
58:44 All right, Sheriff.
58:46 There's your man.
58:47 Good work, Thompson.
58:48 All right, men, pick him up.
58:58 I've been waiting here for hours. Where have you been?
59:01 Sorry miss test we have a little unfinished business to take care of with Mr. Hartless and his friend. Yeah we got them all cooped up in the jailhouse. They're waiting for us to come down and testify. Let's hurry.
59:15 Forgot I made that myself.
59:19 I'm the lone rider on the great divide, all alone, roaming far and wide. When a helping hand is needed, I am ready with a veil. I'm the lone rider on the trail, with a heart steady, hiding on the plain.
59:49 On for the Black and Gray
