"(feel-good music)" "(banging around)" "Hello Jim." "Howdy." "Where's dad Sanders?" "Over at the track." "Give him this letter." "It's from Jerry Wales." "One of Wales' gang brought you this letter out from town." "Thank you, Jim." "Did ya bring some men with ya as I told ya?" "Yes, Pa." "I got Red and Pete posted downstairs." "Why all the excitement?" "Quick Trigger Lee's comin' over here about that Sanders deal." "(horse gallops)" "I'd like to catch that bird once without his gun." "He wouldn't butt into other people's business again." "That's just why I got you and the others here." "He's been meddling in my affairs too much." "Using his reputation as a quick trigger man to take the law in his own hands." "Settin' himself up by as judge and jury." "Sayin' what's right and what's wrong." "Just let me catch him once without his guns, Pa." "That's all." "Just once." "(horse gallops)" "Here he comes now." "Looks like a false alarm." "If Quick Trigger was up to somethin'," "I reckon he'd be packin' his six shooter." "You said something." "He ain't got no gun on him." "Got a match?" "Huh?" "Sure." "There ya are." "(Laughs) Well if it isn't little Sammy." "Papa's pride and joy." "Careful, Sammy." "I understand you're actin' for Mr. Sanders." "(Laughs) Acting is right." "And action's what I'm after." "So just turn out that paper and I'll pay you what dad Sanders owes ya." "Here's your money Mr. Wales, with interest." "Now if you'll just fix up that paper for Mr. Sanders." "Little Sammy here can run out and play." "Too bad you had to miss giving the girls their usual treat, Sammy." "(laughs)" "Yes sir, I reckon they're just pining away for a site of you." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well you lay off of me, or they'll get a site of you in the hospital." "Get me?" "I get ya, Sammy." "In more ways than one." "You've made a mistake." "There's only one thousand dollars here." "I know it." "It should be ten thousand." "Your mistake Wales." "One thousand dollars is what dad Sanders owes you." "And there it is with interest." "Ten thousand dollars is the amount, Lee." "That's what this agreement calls for." "And old Sanders knows it." "You're right, Wale." "Old Dad does know it, now." "But he didn't know it when he signed that paper!" "Fat chance he'll have proving' that." "He's able to read, ain't he?" "Sure he is." "And he would've read that note before he signed it." "If you hadn't smashed his eyeglasses." "Yeah." "Well it ain't no secret that dad Sanders is blind as a bat without his glasses." "And I figure that anyone who would cheat a lone widow wouldn't hesitate to break an old man's glasses if there was a rich mine at stake." "You mean we done it on purpose?" "Knowing your breed as I do, that's just what I mean." "(punch)" "Sammy." "(crashes into wall)" "Sammy." "(bangs into wall)" "(bangs into wall)" "Sammy, Sammy!" "Help!" "(men groan)" "(banging around)" "Quick, Sammy!" "Get the boys!" "Have you seen Red or Pete?" "[Man] Yeah, they're over in the saloon." "(Wales lightly screams)" "There are no witnesses now, Wales." "Judge Colt is going to settle this argument." "There's your money with interest." "Now sign that note paid in full." "You'd better sign it and do it quick." "Old judge colt sure knows how to settle these things." "(footsteps on the stairs)" "It's locked, Tommy!" "Bust it open!" "(banging on door)" "Sammy!" "(glass shatters)" "(horse gallops)" "Sammy!" "Stop him!" "Get him, Sammy!" "Pa, he's gone, now what?" "He's got the paper." "Get him, stop him, hurry!" "Hurry Sammy!" "You know me, pa." "Get him, Sammy." "Get him, get him, Sammy." "(horse gallops)" "Lee wouldn't ride this way." "He'd head for Sanders place." "Well he's tryna trick ya." "Yeah?" "I'll show him two can play that game." "We'll make to the mine and get him there." "Come on!" "(gun shots)" "(car crashes)" "(horses gallop)" "No!" "What are you trying to do?" "Don't be alarmed miss." "I've stopped 'em for a while." "You stopped them?" "Sure." "And I already showed them that we've got law and order out here." "If I hadn't been afraid of your team gettin' away from ya." "(woman laughs)" "Say that guy was shootin' real bullets." "Well I know it." "Look at that." "Inch lower and it sure would've been crickets for me." "You're sure lucky." "Didn't I tell you to watch that road, and keep those saps out of the picture?" "Yes, sir." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'll see that it doesn't happen again, sir." "Go over and tell that fella to take a fade out." "Okay." "That scene, we'll tape it over." "[Men] Yes sir." "(woman laughs)" "Tell me where you live, and I'll see it you get home safely." "(Laughs) You don't understand." "We were taking a motion picture." "The chase and the shooting were part of the story." "Why you spoiled the scene." "Why I thought it was a real hold up." "Well you thought I was in danger?" "And you risked your life to help me?" "I reckon those folks back there wish I hadn't thought so much." "Hey, snap out of it!" "We gotta tape that last scene over Miss Campbell." "I'll hop along before I get in anymore trouble," "Miss Campbell." "I hope we meet again, Mr uh," "Lee, Phil Lee." "And I'm going to see that you get your wish." "Goodbye." "We're having a dance at the hotel before we leave." "Are you going?" "I'll be there." "(horse gallop)" "Give me that!" "You got no business workin' this mine." "Yes I have!" "It still belongs to me." "(Laughs) Not after today." "(horse gallops)" "Here he comes, fellas!" "Get Lee in here." "And if you open your trap about us, it's gonna be too bad for the both of ya." "Hey." "Old timer?" "Answer him." "Yes hello Trigger." "Come out here." "Get him in here!" "You come in here." "Hello Lee." "Well dad, I've got the paper signed, sealed and delivered." "But I didn't bring it with me." "When I saw little Sammy and those two tough sidekicks of his hot on my trail," "I figured his father had changed his mind about letting me keep it." "So I gave them the slip." "And hid it where they won't find it." "(groaning)" "(furniture banging around)" "(groaning)" "(furniture banging around)" "(horses gallop)" "Dad, you win the prize as a champion chair swinger of the county." "And here it is." "And you had it, all the time?" "Sure I did." "When I saw those three horses hidden outside," "I figured the men were hidden also." "I ain't tryna thank you, Lee." "What it means to me is more than I can say in words." "Forget it, dad." "Your mine is too valuable to let Wales get his claws into it." "Oh for the sake of the mine." "And what it means to me." "But what it will mean to someone else." "Well?" "Tell me what happened." "Well, Pa, Lee give us the slip." "I caught up with him at Sanders cabin." "And I heard him tell the old man that he'd hid the receipt because he knew we were on his trail." "Well why didn't you search him?" "I tried to, pa, but he wouldn't let me." "Ah." "Pa, on the way back I run across the motion picture company." "And I found out that Lee had met Rose Campbell." "Does he know who she is?" "[Sammy] I don't think so, pa." "We'll have to work fast before he finds out." "It's our only chance now to get hold of the mine." "There's no chance of him finding out anything." "How can he figure that Rose Campbell is old John Sanders granddaughter?" "Maybe you're right." "But if he should happen to get to the dance and meet her again, there ain't no tellin' what might happen." "There's no chance of him finding out anything, pa." "I'll have everything ready." "And besides, the girl thinks we're huntin' for her grandfather, she won't suspect nothing." "Is that so?" "You'll see that you keep your eyes open." "You know me, pa." "(upbeat fiddle music)" "Looking for someone?" "Well maybe." "By the way, have you heard news of my grandfather?" "No." "But I've still got two men out searching." "I'll have definite news later." "Oh that's fine." "(upbeat fiddle music)" "(applause)" "I reckon a little ice cream would go pretty good right now, Miss Rose, what do ya say?" "It would be nice if you don't mind." "(Laughs) I should say not." "I'll be right back." "When you see me on the porch with the girl, do your stuff." "Alright." "Give me a cup of this ice cream." "The colored." "(chattering)" "Hello Tim." "Hello Lee." "Do me a favor, will ya?" "Shoot it, what do you want?" "I'm playing a joke." "When I drop my gloves like that, play another dance, will ya?" "Go to it." "I'll watch for your signal." "A penny for your thoughts." "(Laughs) You'll have to offer more than that." "Well I'm perfectly willing to." "(upbeat fiddle music)" "Hey look out!" "You wanna spill this?" "Look out." "Kinda makes you wish you were young again, don't it Samantha?" "I could dance with the best of them." "If I had a partner." "Sure you could." "(upbeat fiddle music)" "(applause)" "Say there's Quick Trigger Lee." "Yep, and he's got the girl with him." "Let's get back to the car and wait for Sam." "Alright." "Gotta cigarette, Pete?" "(slow-paced music)" "Aren't those mountains wonderful?" "Yes, they are." "But they aren't so different from our mountains in the east." "There's one there that is." "We call him old man echo." "Whenever you speak to him, he answers you back." "I wish he'd speak to me." "Tell me what you want him to say?" "Maybe I'll fix it for you." "[Rose] I wish he'd tell me where my grandfather is." "Your grandfather?" "Yes." "I haven't seen him since my mother died." "Seems to me I remember, he came out here to try and strike it rich." "He was a prospector?" "Yeah." "I wish I could help you Miss Campbell." "But if he ever came out into this section," "I'm sure I'd of known him." "Mr. Wales told me this afternoon he had sent out some men trying to find a trace of my grandfather." "And he thought he'd have definite news for me." "Wales." "Jerry Wales?" "Yes." "He's trying to locate him for me." "You know, it seems funny, with all the prospectors that have come out into this section of the country, that no one seems to know John Sanders." "Sanders?" "I know a John Sanders." "You do?" "Yes." "He owns the Rose O'My Heart Mine." "Rose o'my heart?" "Well that's what he used to call my mother." "My mother's name was Rose." "Well then it must be dad Sanders." "Oh where is he?" "Where does he live?" "Dad's cabin is just across the valley." "At the very foot of Echo mountain." "Oh I just feel it." "I just feel it is my grandfather." "Better let me go and see him first, to be sure." "Oh no, I couldn't wait." "Won't you take me now?" "Please." "Alright." "But you'll have to change that dress." "I won't be a minute." "I'll go see about the horses." "Alright." "Chris." "Where's my bronc?" "He's up in the corral." "Slap a saddle on a horse so the lady can ride." "I always handle my own pony." "Make it snappy." "Come out here, come on." "What's up, Sam?" "Plenty." "Lee's gettin' horses ready to take the girl over to Sanders mine." "Well that queers your game." "Queers nothin'." "We'll pull our sum just the same." "But we'll make sure first that Lee won't interfere." "I got an idea." "Go over and get Lee's back turned to Red." "And you know what to do." "Sure." "Go on." "Got a match partner?" "Sure thing." "Get him, Red!" "(groaning)" "(banging against fence)" "(groaning)" "(Laughs) Come on, boys." "(car engine)" "I just found your grandfather." "These men brought the news." "Come on I'll take you to him." "Why I was just gonna ride over with Mr. Lee." "Lee?" "You mean Phil Lee?" "Yes, that's he." "Ah, they call him Quick Trigger Lee around here." "And he's got a reputation for shady tricks." "If he had what was comin' to him, he'd of stretched the rope long ago." "Well I can't believe that." "Why he and John Sanders are close friends." "He's liable to tell you anything." "He's the kind that shoots first, and asks questions after if he figures some guy's trying to cut in on his game." "Well why did he wanna take me to the mine?" "He's been trying to beat dad Sanders out of the Rose O'My Heart Mine ever since he discovered the old man struck it rich." "Oh." "So he's just been trying to make a fool out of me." "Sure." "He knew all along you were dad's granddaughter, and was aimin' to steer you clear of the mine, knowing you'd only be in town a short time." "I'll be here when he is gone." "Thank you very much, Mr. Wales." "I'll go with you." "Sure." "Just trust yourself with me." "You'll be alright." "(horse gallops)" "Are we on the right road?" "Sure." "Well Lee told me the mine was over that way." "Over by Echo mountain." "(Laughs) You listen to that short horn, you'll never find your grandfather." "It's Lee!" "He's following us." "(horse gallops)" "Yes, he's gonna try to stop you from gettin' to the mine." "Oh quick!" "Hurry!" "Hey!" "(men groaning)" "Let me go!" "(shouts)" "Get out of this car." "If you're going to the mine you're on the wrong road." "No I'm not." "You've been on the wrong road ever since you met Wales." "You're lying, Mr. Lee." "Wales was taking me to my grandfather's cabin." "Wales is on the wrong road, too." "He's been trekking you, to get hold of the mine." "And he's known all along who you were." "How do I know you're telling me the truth?" "Here, read that." "Did you help him?" "Sure." "He's my partner." "I paid the thousand dollars to Wales." "And if I wanted to," "I could take the mine myself." "I'll believe in you." "Alright, turn around." "And we'll get back on the right road." "(car starts)" "(knocks on door)" "He's still on the job." "I brought a lady to see you, old timer." "A lady?" "Rose." "[Rose] Grandfather!" "Rosey." "How in the world did ya ever find me?" "(Rose cries)" "Steady, old timer." "Well it looks like old man Echo answered your question." "Yes, he did." "(dreamy music)"
