02:28You made good time, Yak.
02:31How long you wait?
02:32Oh, I got here last night.
02:34What'd you find out?
02:35Two men gonna hold up stage.
02:38Coyote Canyon.
02:39Much money on stage.
02:42Well, it looks like we're gonna have our hands full.
02:44More trouble, more fun.
02:47That's one way to look at it.
02:49But there's been two sheriffs killed in Little Rock.
02:52It's our job to find out who did it.
02:54We do them.
02:55Well, I reckon we better get started.
02:57Beat them to the hold up.
03:14Well, I've called this meeting that you may all know Al Davis.
03:42He's to be sworn in this afternoon as sheriff of this county.
03:51Mr. Davis, I feel that we should acquaint you with the fact that this vicinity is being terrorized by a band of outlaws ruled by a man whom they call the Shadow.
04:02He's a very clever man.
04:05Many traps have been set for him.
04:07But he's always evaded them.
04:09Our cattle are stolen night after night.
04:11He has absolutely no regard for human life.
04:15Stagecoaches are held up and robbed.
04:17And the driver is shot.
04:18Well, looks like we're going to get through this time, Dave.
04:42You stay out of sight and follow me.
05:12Come on.
05:13Come on.
05:13Come on.
05:42Come on.
05:43Come on.
06:14Don't look back.
06:25Drop that gun and keep driving.
06:44You meet me in town.
07:11Throw down that bag.
07:18You're too late.
07:19A lone rider will beat you to it.
07:20Yeah.
07:21You're too late.
07:30You're too late.
07:32You're too late.
08:02You're too late.
08:10You're too late.
08:13You're too late.
08:21You're too late.
08:23You're too late.
08:32Hey, look, boys.
08:53You're too late.
08:54Something's wrong.
08:56Hey, what's happening?
08:57What's the matter?
08:58You better get him to a doctor, boys, quick.
09:05Where can I find Mr. Matlock?
09:17Where can I find Mr. Matlock?
09:21He's my uncle.
09:22I'll get him for you, miss.
09:25Well, miss, you had quite an exciting ride.
09:28I certainly did.
09:30And gentlemen.
09:31Matlock.
09:32Matlock.
09:33The stage was held up.
09:34Joe was dead and Dave was wounded.
09:36There's a girl on the stage who claims to be your niece.
09:38He's asking for you.
09:39He's asking for you.
09:45So you are...
09:50I'm a neat uncle, Mat.
09:51My dear, this is certainly a pleasant surprise.
09:55Tell us, what has happened?
09:56Well, I don't know exactly.
09:57I was heading for town when I saw the runaway.
10:00I happened to be close, so I caught it.
10:03This young lady can probably tell you more than I can.
10:06Well, first we were held up by a lone rider.
10:09And then shortly after, two men held us up again.
10:12And they shot the guard and the driver, and then the horses ran away.
10:15And this gentleman caught them.
10:17And I'm mighty grateful, too.
10:19And so am I.
10:21You see, Davis, it's things like this that happen every day.
10:25You see the lights that happen every day.
10:27Oh!
10:28Oh!
10:49Look!
10:50See that smoke?
10:52the bullet came straight on but from where that's just the way the other man was killed
11:07i reckon this is the end of law and order won't nobody run for sheriff now
11:12if it's just the same with you folks i'll take this job as sheriff
11:18you say you can see the whole street uh me here shot look quick see no one only smoke
11:31there's certainly mighty strength
11:34i'm sure those are the umbrae's that held up the stage wait here
12:04so
12:06so
12:11so
12:18so
12:19so
12:23Let's go.
12:45You need to explain, boys.
12:47I know everything that has happened.
12:49Keep your eyes on this new sheriff.
12:51Watch every move and report to me in the morning.
13:51Cover my trail, Yak. I'm going back for the money bags.
14:21I'm going back.
14:51I'm going back.
15:21I'm going back.
15:51It's the stage bag. Do you suppose he just found it?
15:59I don't know.
16:01Here's where we get it.
16:03And him too.
16:04Two men follow.
16:18Look through glass.
16:20Ah, well, I figured as much.
16:24Here, take my horse and meet me at the express office.
16:28Keep this money.
16:28Here we go.
16:36Here you go.
16:37Here we go.
16:37Here we go.
17:39Where did he go?
17:50I don't know.
17:52I know we got him.
18:08We can't get far.
18:09Come on.
18:10Let's find him.
18:11Let's go.
18:12Let's go.
18:18Oh, you stay here and watch.
18:41I reckon the express company will be glad to get this money back.
18:48We killed him and saw him pick up the money bags.
19:03Park here shot him over his horse, but we couldn't find him.
19:10He just rode in town and went to the express office.
19:13Probably with a doe.
19:14This is twice you've come things up.
19:16Another fluke like this and you two guys keep riding.
19:18It's ten to one.
19:19He knows who followed him.
19:20So you better get back to the hideout and stay there until I send for you.
19:25All right, Jack, let's find out where they'll lead us.
19:44I'll lead us.
19:45I'll lead us.
19:51You better get back.
20:06I'll lead you.
20:10I'll be attached.
20:44A local Frank.
21:10He'd cut a man's throat for a dollar.
21:14And Fleiss Burton, a lifer from Walla Walla.
21:27And there's Chuckawalla Red.
21:30He's wanted in every state on the border.
21:31And Slippery Williams and Spike Morgan.
21:41What a nest of hornets.
21:44And Matlock's ranch only two miles away.
21:47I wonder if he knows what's near him.
21:49Maybe we tell him.
21:51No, it might spoil our chances of getting them.
22:09Well, my dear.
22:10What do you think of the ranch?
22:11Oh, fine.
22:13But I haven't seen any cattle.
22:15There are no cattle.
22:16They were all stolen several weeks ago.
22:19That's why I've tried to bring law and order to this valley.
22:22Seems useless.
22:23Three men have been mysteriously shot down.
22:26And the outlaw activity continues.
22:28Well, can't you appeal to the government?
22:30The ranchmen have written repeatedly.
22:31But nothing has happened.
22:32Well, where is the foreman and your boys?
22:35They were in with the wrestlers and left with the cattle.
22:38And you live here alone?
22:39Yes, except for old Jake, the cook.
22:50I'm going over to Matlock's.
22:52Now, you stay here and keep an eye on whoever passes.
23:02Under the circumstances, I think we should try and dispose of this ranch.
23:13Or at least let me buy your half.
23:15This is certainly no place for a woman.
23:18Well, I quite agree with you there, Uncle Matt.
23:21I didn't expect to find it like this.
23:24How many for supper, Mr. Matlock?
23:26Just the three of us, Jake.
23:28Thank you, sir.
23:29Oh, here comes someone, Uncle Matt.
23:32Well, it's our new sheriff.
23:47Come right in, Mr. Travers.
23:49How do you do, Miss Matlock?
23:51How do you do?
23:53Just wanted to tell you about my good luck.
23:55I found the express money near the scene of the holdup.
23:58Well, that is good luck.
24:00Did you see any sign of the robbers?
24:01Well, uh, I can't make any promises right now, Mr. Matlock.
24:07But I hope to have the Shadow and his gang behind the bars in a very few days.
24:11Well, my boy, I certainly wish you luck.
24:14But I'm afraid that never can happen.
24:16The Shadow is clever.
24:18As men are the most desperate criminals ever banded together.
24:21How do you know?
24:22Well, why, uh, the cold-blooded manor in which they operate.
24:27Oh, I see.
24:29But I still think I can do it.
24:31Well, I certainly hope you do.
24:33Can you excuse me a moment?
24:34I suppose you're glad to be home again, Miss Matlock.
24:42Well, this isn't exactly my home.
24:45In fact, it's the first time I've seen the place.
24:47You see, my father and Uncle Matt owned this ranch.
24:51And two years ago, Dad was killed.
24:52I inherited his hat.
24:55Uncle Matt has offered to buy me out.
24:57He says this is no place for a woman.
25:00Oh.
25:01He says strange things happen here at night.
25:06There are only the three of us.
25:07Old Jake, Uncle Matt, and myself.
25:10I'm almost afraid.
25:14Hello.
25:15The sheriff will soon be leaving Matlock's ranch.
25:18Wait for him at the crossroads.
25:19There's a girl at the ranch.
25:20No harm must come to her, but scare her away tonight.
25:26All right.
25:27I'll have the boys attend to it.
25:32And don't be afraid to use it.
25:34I won't be.
25:45Won't you stay for dinner, Mr. Travers?
25:47No, thanks.
25:47I have to be going.
25:48I'll see you in the morning.
25:49Good day, Miss Matlock.
25:51Goodbye.
26:12A fine fellow, isn't he?
26:14Yes.
26:15It's too bad that he's sheriff.
26:17It's too bad.
26:17It's too bad that he's sheriff.
28:44You've always been a little too careless with your shooting irons.
29:03So we'll just send you up for attempted murder.
29:06We'll be out of here by noon tomorrow.
29:08We'll be out of here by noon tomorrow.
29:13Yeah?
29:14Well, thanks for the information.
29:20We'll be out of here by noon tomorrow.
29:27We'll be out of here by noon tomorrow.
29:33Yeah?
29:34Well, thanks for the information.
29:36There must be a secret entrance.
29:37I distinctly heard a third voice.
29:43That's a funny place for a safe.
29:44That's a funny place for a safe.
29:45Here it is.
29:46Here it is.
29:47It's a fake safe.
29:48Here it is.
29:49It's a fake safe.
29:50This must be where the shadow gives his orders.
29:51from.
29:52from.
29:53from.
29:54from.
29:55from.
29:56from.
29:57from.
29:58from.
29:59from.
30:00from.
30:01What?
30:04That's a funny place for a safe.
30:14Here it is. It's a fake safe.
30:17This must be where the shadow gives his orders from.
30:20Finally, watch each other.
30:31Well, this is interesting.
30:38It's a tunnel. Come on, let's see where it leads.
30:50.
31:04.
31:10.
31:14.
31:15Oh, what do you think?
31:26They've hollowed off this old stump.
31:29This is where those mysterious shots came from.
31:33Through this hole, a man could cover the entire northern part of the street.
31:40We've got work to do tonight, Jack.
31:43The first thing is to find a cross-cut saw.
31:45Let's go.
32:15Let's go.
32:45Let's go.
33:15Let's go.
33:45Let's go.
34:15Good morning, Anita.
34:19Good morning, Uncle Matt.
34:21Did the disturbance bother you last night?
34:23Oh, not a bit.
34:24In fact, I rather enjoyed it.
34:26You should have seen these so-called ghosts run when I opened fire on them.
34:31Did you do that shooting?
34:32I certainly did.
34:34And I intend to keep on shooting.
34:37You know, Uncle Mac, I've decided not to sell.
34:39I think I'll stay right here and fight it out.
34:43Well, I admire your spirit.
34:46And if that's your decision, I'm with you.
34:49But your breakfast is ready.
34:51I must hurry to town.
34:53Goodbye.
34:55Goodbye.
34:56Good morning, Sheriff.
35:07Good morning.
35:08The ranches are all here, as you ordered.
35:10Good.
35:10Ask them to stay off the main street until I'm ready.
35:13I got a surprise in store for them.
35:15Okay, Sheriff.
35:16We'll be waiting.
35:20Come on, Yak.
35:21Let's go.
35:31Come on out, Parker.
35:36Don't worry.
35:37It's empty.
35:39Yak, watch the street like I told you.
35:41Come on.
35:41Get going.
35:45I'm warning you now.
36:00Do as I say or take the consequences.
36:04Now listen.
36:15You're late.
36:22What happened last night?
36:23He had men covering his trail.
36:25We couldn't get near him.
36:26Well, he's at his office now.
36:28Get him out in the middle of the street.
36:30The mole is waiting.
36:31At 11 this morning, I personally will head the boys into town.
36:35Machine gun will be under the straw of the covered wagon.
36:37We'll cover one end of the street, the boys the other.
36:40We'll take the bank for a cleaning.
36:42You'll take your position in the stump.
36:44Let's go.
36:45Let's go.
36:57Take off your hat.
37:00Put this one on.
37:04Take off that scarf.
37:14You're not going to send me out there, are you?
37:16You guessed it.
37:18But I got the stump covered, so I guess you'll be all right.
37:22Get moving.
37:36Get the boys.
37:37Come on.
37:38Come on.
37:44Come, Sheriff say keep eye on stump.
38:14Take it easy, Parker.
38:30Don't move.
38:31Don't move.
38:39Take it easy.
38:41Get him, boy.
38:42Come on.
38:43Look who it is.
38:44You've come out of here.
38:45Oh, Jesus.
38:45We'll be back.
38:46Don't move.
38:47Don't move.
38:47Don't move.
38:48Don't move.
38:52Don't move.
38:52Don't move.
38:54Don't move.
38:55You've got just one chance to live.
38:58Who's the shadow?
39:00Oh, don't shoot.
39:02I'll tell.
39:03I'll tell.
39:04It's...
39:25I'll tell.
39:55Boys, we just missed the shadow.
40:02But he's coming back, he and his gang.
40:04They have a machine gun and they intend to wipe out the town.
40:07What's to be done?
40:08We'll fight.
40:09All right.
40:10They must never reach town.
40:12We'll surprise them and head them off.
40:14Pick up all the men you can and let every rider wear a white cloth around his head
40:18so we can distinguish ourselves from the outlaws.
40:21Get your guns and we'll all meet at Red Gulf.
40:24Men, I was sent here from Washington.
40:27I'm swearing you all in as deputy marshals.
40:29Today you're riding the United States government.
40:32Everyone raise his right hand.
40:34You solemnly swear?
40:37It just doesn't seem possible.
40:40But it's true, Miss Anita.
40:42The night your dad brought your uncle from the East was the night this man and his gang raided the ranch.
40:48Both your dad and uncle were killed.
40:50He took all your uncle's papers and his clothes and passed himself off in town as Matt Matlock.
40:56The sheriff must know about this, Jake.
40:59I'm going to tell him right now.
41:07Yak here will signal us from that mountain when they're coming.
41:10We'll let them get by us and then attack them from the rear.
41:13Now everybody scatter and stay hidden.
41:15Are the boys ready?
41:17Yes.
41:18There's no time to lose.
41:19Who's there coming?
41:41Are the boys ready?
41:42Yes.
41:43There's no time to lose.
41:45Who's that coming?
41:51It's that fool girl. Stop her. Take her to the hideout.
42:14Put her in the wagon, Pat.
42:18I reckon the sheriff won't do much shooting with her in there.
42:25Put her in the wagon, Pat.
42:29I reckon the sheriff won't do much shooting with her in there.
42:44Stand ready with that machine gun.
43:14.
43:19.
43:33.
43:40Stand ready, men.
43:49They're coming.
44:10They're coming.
