00:01:27The End
00:01:57Well, is Williams going to make a present to the Phantom?
00:02:01Can't prove it by me.
00:02:02Bet you, even though, he gets you before you get to Red Rock.
00:02:05Make it prior to one, he might pick you up.
00:02:06All right.
00:02:07No, I said I might.
00:02:09That way, man.
00:02:10This is one time this gold has gone through.
00:02:22Now, you boys keep your eyes open.
00:02:24Ride ahead and make sure there's nobody in the pass.
00:02:26Don't worry.
00:02:27If that Phantom starts anything, we'll blow him to pieces.
00:02:30All right, boys.
00:02:31Go get your horses.
00:02:31Who is this Phantom they're talking about?
00:02:37Nobody knows.
00:02:39I'm nervous.
00:02:40I don't want to lose what little money I've got.
00:02:43You won't.
00:02:44The Phantom is too smart to try to fight these armed guards.
00:02:46I hope so.
00:02:48No excuses this time.
00:02:49I'm giving you plenty of help.
00:02:51Don't worry.
00:02:52I'll have my finger on the trigger all the way through.
00:02:55Are you ready?
00:02:56Ready to go.
00:02:57All right, get going.
00:02:58Good luck.
00:02:59Get out, boys.
00:03:00Get out of that.
00:03:00Get out of that.
00:03:01Get out of that.
00:03:01Get out of that.
00:03:17Get out of that.
00:03:17Get out of that.
00:03:17Get out of that.
00:03:19Get out of that.
00:03:21Come on, then.
00:03:22Get out of that.
00:03:27Here they come.
00:03:35You all know what to do now.
00:03:37Remember, no killing.
00:03:39I want you to fire over their heads.
00:03:57Is there anything wrong?
00:04:10Take it easy, lady.
00:04:11Nothing to worry about.
00:04:27Hey, there they are.
00:04:57That rifle gets pretty heavy after a while.
00:05:11You better toss it away and put your hands up.
00:05:18Come on, that out.
00:05:27Now, if it's not too much trouble, you can hand me that box the bank is shipping.
00:05:33Come on, hurry it up.
00:05:42Frank.
00:05:47Oh.
00:05:49When you get back to town, would you mind giving this note to Mr. Williams?
00:05:53With my compliments?
00:05:57I'm sorry to inconvenience you, ma'am.
00:06:27I'd be very careful with that first, ma'am.
00:06:38You know all bandits don't ride horses.
00:06:44The stage is leaving in a minute, so you better get in.
00:06:50Where are your manners?
00:06:53Allow me.
00:06:54Well, you can get back to town now.
00:07:10Wait a minute.
00:07:17What are you trying to do?
00:07:18Choke this horse to death?
00:07:19You know that hems up off the collar?
00:07:28That's better.
00:07:29Get up.
00:07:30Get up.
00:07:30Get up.
00:07:31Get up.
00:07:31What's the matter, James?
00:07:47What's the matter?
00:07:50What happened?
00:07:51What happened?
00:07:52What happened?
00:07:53What happened?
00:07:54What's the truck say?
00:07:56The Phantom got us again.
00:07:57What?
00:07:58We didn't have a chance.
00:07:59He detoured the guards and struck us up.
00:08:01Can you give me this for you?
00:08:24Where's Pendleton? I've got to see him right away.
00:08:26There he is now.
00:08:29What's all the excitement about?
00:08:31See you, Pendleton. I won't stand for any more of this.
00:08:34Any more of what?
00:08:35Why, the...
00:08:36The Phantom just robbed me of $25,000.
00:08:38Where did he stop you this time?
00:08:40Just as we reached the top of the pass.
00:08:42Now, if you don't stop this fellow once and for all, Pendleton,
00:08:44we're going to get a sheriff that will.
00:08:46Well, he didn't leave me his address.
00:08:48And I don't know just what Mountain Cop he's sitting on.
00:08:50But I'll get a part day together and go out after him.
00:08:53About time.
00:08:54About time.
00:08:55About time.
00:08:59We're going after the Phantom.
00:09:01Get your horse.
00:09:04Hey, Max!
00:09:05Never mind that cave.
00:09:06We're going after the Phantom.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:10Hey, Abner.
00:09:11Get your gun.
00:09:12The stage has been held up again.
00:09:13Oh, right.
00:09:14Yeah, ma'am, now.
00:09:39I'm going after the Phantom.
00:09:40Let's go.
00:09:41It must have taken them quite a while to open this thing.
00:09:55There's plenty of cracks here.
00:09:59Jake and Dave, follow the single crack.
00:10:01The rest of you, follow them others.
00:10:02All right.
00:10:11All right.
00:10:41Looks like he's headed for the hollow.
00:10:47But we can head him off by cutting through Lost Canyon.
00:11:11Stop.
00:11:13Stop.
00:11:16Stop.
00:11:17Stop.
00:11:19Stop.
00:11:19Stop.
00:11:21Stop.
00:11:25iãosei speedy.
00:11:27Let's go.
00:11:57He must have been hit.
00:12:06Come on.
00:12:27Blood.
00:12:57Come on.
00:13:27What's the matter, Dad?
00:13:42I had a brush with William's men.
00:13:57I had a brush with him.
00:14:19Son, you'd better get out of here.
00:14:35We'll both go.
00:14:37I'll help you.
00:14:39This, Brad, is through riding.
00:14:43If we're going to be here, I wouldn't want you to leave.
00:14:49You mean you're going to...
00:14:54Well, we've all got to go sometime.
00:14:56You're a man now, son.
00:15:03From now on, you've got to stand on your own feet.
00:15:10I didn't have a chance to throw him off the trail.
00:15:12I wish we'd look out and see if someone's coming.
00:15:16I didn't have a chance to throw him off the trail.
00:15:26I wish we'd look out and see if someone's coming.
00:15:30I wish we'd look out and see if we'd look out and see if we'd look out.
00:15:58Don't do that.
00:16:02They're too young to fight men like Williams.
00:16:05It's no use.
00:16:11Open that door so they won't start shooting.
00:16:15You leave him alone.
00:16:32Slim Braddock.
00:16:37Hello, Pat.
00:16:38Did Williams know that you were the one that's been raiding him?
00:16:50If he didn't, you wouldn't be here.
00:16:54Slim, if I'd known that you were the Phantom, I wouldn't have been within miles of this place.
00:16:59Oh, I tried to fight him in court.
00:17:02It was no use.
00:17:04He had too much money.
00:17:06Too many crooked lawyers.
00:17:08I know that Williams cheated you.
00:17:10Yes, but I could never prove it.
00:17:12The old-timers are all for you, Slim.
00:17:15They know you've got an ordeal.
00:17:18Did it hurt much, Slim?
00:17:21I can, William.
00:17:22If I were doing a favor, tell Williams that there will be another Braddock to find you.
00:17:40Looks like the town is deserted.
00:18:01Where is everybody, partner?
00:18:02South courthouse listening to the trial.
00:18:05What trial?
00:18:06The one between Williams and Brennan.
00:18:10Thanks.
00:18:40Bill was with Jepson.
00:18:46The bank had nothing to do with it.
00:18:48I know all about that.
00:18:50Do you?
00:18:50A few days after we defaulted, why, the bank closed down on it.
00:18:54Jepson had sold them the claim he had against us.
00:18:57They took possession and wouldn't let any more work be done.
00:19:00The bank was nearly protecting itself, Your Honor.
00:19:02They stopped us from getting out of any ore.
00:19:05Without ore, how could we meet the nose?
00:19:07You are here to answer questions, Brennan.
00:19:10Not ask them.
00:19:11How did they take possession?
00:19:13By putting armed guards all over the place.
00:19:16I guess I ain't cut out to fight the law.
00:19:18But if I was 25 years younger and hurting with my old pal, Slim Braddock, he'd know what to do.
00:19:25He had his own way of handling things.
00:19:27And I don't know but what is best.
00:19:29I object to that remark, Your Honor.
00:19:31The witness is trying to discredit the motives of my client.
00:19:35Objection sustained.
00:19:37I can't order the law on your behalf.
00:19:41Didn't you tell me you expected some money?
00:19:43I object.
00:19:45Your only interest is to collect the amount of this judgment for your client, is it not?
00:19:52Yet or no?
00:19:53I... yes, of course.
00:19:54That's what I want to know.
00:19:56Objection overruled.
00:19:57What about that money?
00:19:59It'll be in on the next stage from Vegas.
00:20:02Enough coming to pay the bank?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04Will 24-hour extension be long enough?
00:20:06Plenty.
00:20:0724-hour extension granted.
00:20:09But Your Honor, I object.
00:20:11Objection overruled.
00:20:14Court adjourned.
00:20:27Good night.
00:20:53Good night.
00:20:54Yes.
00:20:55Put him up, partner.
00:21:13Hand me that package, Mark Pete Brennan.
00:21:19Hurry it up.
00:21:25Now get going and don't look back.
00:21:55Don't try anything like that.
00:22:13Now, if it isn't too much trouble, I'll take that package.
00:22:28I said the package.
00:22:42Thanks, boys.
00:22:43Good boy.
00:23:13The only thing they touched was the package for Pete.
00:23:18Don't you think that proves that someone is trying to injure my father, Mr. Williams?
00:23:23No.
00:23:24There might not have been anything else of value on the stage.
00:23:2820.
00:23:29Money.
00:23:30Take one for the sick, friends.
00:23:31Father.
00:23:32The only thing they touched was the package for Pete.
00:23:34Don't you think that proves that someone is trying to injure my father, Mr. Williams?
00:23:38No, there might not have been anything else of value on the stage.
00:24:02What's all the excitement about?
00:24:04Stage held up.
00:24:05Stage held up?
00:24:07They don't say.
00:24:08Do they know who did it?
00:24:09No, the driver says it was four men stuck him up.
00:24:25Aren't you ever going to use your brain?
00:24:27But he's got the money.
00:24:28And you were going to shoot him down right here in town.
00:24:30Put that gun away.
00:24:32The brethren's place a couple miles out of town.
00:24:37You take the first turn to your left.
00:24:40Thanks.
00:24:41Thanks.
00:24:59Hey, Bill.
00:25:00What'd that fellow want you were talking to?
00:25:01Looking for Brennan.
00:25:02You hear about the holdup?
00:25:04Oh, yeah.
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06Tough break for Pete.
00:25:07Sure is.
00:25:08Well, so long.
00:25:11We've got his time before he gets to Brennan.
00:25:13I've got to see William.
00:25:19But the sheriff will get him, then everything will be all right.
00:25:25Bring in the rest of the stuff so we can check it out.
00:25:54Thank you very much.
00:27:13Something you want in there?
00:27:16The faster you get your hands in the air, the longer you're going to live.
00:27:22Turn around.
00:27:23Let's get a look at you.
00:27:28Well, what do you got to say for yourself?
00:27:29Well, I...
00:27:31I was just shooting at a deer.
00:27:34Must be a trained one if you expect to find him in that saddlebag.
00:27:38Say, listen.
00:27:39My boss is a right reasonable sort of fellow.
00:27:41Maybe you can make a deal with him.
00:27:43Well, I'm a right unreasonable sort of fellow.
00:27:46And I don't make deals.
00:27:49You mean there's no chance of us getting together?
00:27:52Not a chance.
00:27:53But I can't see there's much either one of us can do about it.
00:27:55So...
00:27:56You better get going.
00:27:58Just a minute.
00:28:09You won't need these.
00:28:10The deer season is closed.
00:28:12You're Miss Brennan, aren't you?
00:28:13Why, yes, but I...
00:28:14Don't you remember me?
00:28:15I'm the man who bumped into you yesterday.
00:28:16In the courthouse.
00:28:17Oh, yes.
00:28:18You're the man who said he just drifted into town.
00:28:19That's right.
00:28:20Drifting out again?
00:28:21Well, as a matter of fact, I was on my way to see your father.
00:28:22I'm the man who bumped into you yesterday.
00:28:23In the courthouse.
00:28:24Oh, yes.
00:28:25The other man who said he just drifted into town.
00:28:26That's right.
00:28:27Drifting out again?
00:28:28Well, as a matter of fact, I was on my way to see your father.
00:28:29Do you mind if I ride along?
00:28:30Well, I...
00:28:31Thanks.
00:28:32Dad.
00:28:33Someone here to see you.
00:28:34Oh, yes.
00:28:35You're Miss Brennan, aren't you?
00:28:36Why, yes, but I...
00:28:37Don't you remember me?
00:28:38I'm the man who bumped into you yesterday.
00:28:40In the courthouse.
00:28:41Oh, yes.
00:28:42You're the man who said he just drifted into town.
00:28:45That's right.
00:28:46Drifting out again?
00:28:47Well, as a matter of fact, I was on my way to see your father.
00:28:50You mind if I ride along?
00:28:52Well, I...
00:28:53Thanks.
00:28:57Dad.
00:28:58Someone here to see you.
00:29:03Pete Brennan?
00:29:04Yes, I'm Pete Brennan.
00:29:06Ever know a man named Braddock?
00:29:13Slim's eyes.
00:29:15And that's his nose.
00:29:17Tim Braddock.
00:29:18Boy, you look just like your father did when he was a young man.
00:29:23If I'd known you were a Braddock, I never would have brought you here.
00:29:26Why, Helen, Tim's only...
00:29:27We're in trouble enough without having one of the Braddocks here.
00:29:30I wish you'd stayed away.
00:29:32His father got you into trouble years ago.
00:29:34And now he's here to do the same thing all over again.
00:29:36Now, honey, there's nothing to worry about.
00:29:38Oh, yes, there is.
00:29:39The money you expected is gone.
00:29:41The stage was held up.
00:29:42Now you won't be able to pay the bank.
00:29:44Held up?
00:29:45Yes.
00:29:46That's one of the reasons I'm here.
00:29:48I drifted into town yesterday and stopped in at the courthouse.
00:29:51I heard you tell the judge you were expecting money on the next stage, so I...
00:29:55So, you're the man who held up the stage.
00:29:58No.
00:29:59I'm the man who held up the men who held up the stage.
00:30:02Here you are, Pete.
00:30:04Well, you're Slim's son all right.
00:30:07You've got a way of fighting for what you think is right.
00:30:10Of course, you'll never stop to think that we might have such a thing as law.
00:30:13I've always found the law never works for the little fellow.
00:30:16So, you take the law in your own hands.
00:30:18Well, I think...
00:30:19If you were really thinking, you wouldn't be doing so much talking,
00:30:22and maybe a couple of hungry men would get something to eat.
00:30:28Still has the same temper she had when she was a little, prickle-faced kid.
00:30:31I hate the name of Braddock.
00:30:33I knew a time when you didn't.
00:30:35When?
00:30:36The day you promised to marry me.
00:30:38I promised to marry you?
00:30:41I suppose you don't remember kissing me and telling me you'd love me forever.
00:30:45Oh, I was eight years old then. That doesn't count.
00:30:47A promise is a promise, isn't it, Pete?
00:30:50It seems it should hold.
00:30:52Well, a woman always has the right to change her mind.
00:31:17Is Mr. Williams in?
00:31:32Yes. Who will I say is here to see him?
00:31:35Never mind.
00:31:47How many times must I tell you I don't want to be disturbed?
00:31:51Get out.
00:31:52If it's not too much trouble, you can give me a receipt for this.
00:32:05Braddock.
00:32:06Slim Braddock.
00:32:08I've heard a lot of talk about reincarnation, but it hasn't happened yet.
00:32:14I'm Tim Braddock. Slim's son.
00:32:19Now, if you'll reach for a pen instead of that gun, you'll hunger.
00:32:24My money.
00:32:30Where did you get this?
00:32:31Don't you know?
00:32:34This is outrageous.
00:32:35You'll find there's a law in this country.
00:32:38Just now I happen to be that law in what I say goes.
00:32:41You stole this money.
00:32:44Of course I stole it.
00:32:45You're not going to say anything about it.
00:32:48This is one of the most crooked deals there was ever attempted.
00:32:50Certainly it's a crooked deal.
00:32:52Because you made it a crooked business.
00:32:54Brennan doesn't know how to keep step with you.
00:32:56But I do.
00:32:57You think you can take the law in your own hands?
00:33:00That's what your father thought.
00:33:01But I fought him and I licked him.
00:33:03And I'll do the same to you.
00:33:05Of course we settle our personal differences another day and another place.
00:33:09Just now. Come on. Give me that receipt.
00:33:26I'll fight you till one of us go under if it takes my last cent.
00:33:31And that's just about what it'll take.
00:33:56I wonder what he's doing in the back.
00:34:02What are you talking about?
00:34:03That fellow that just came out of the bank.
00:34:04See him down there?
00:34:09Who is he?
00:34:10He's the bird that got Brennan's money.
00:34:12Are you sure?
00:34:15Come on.
00:34:16Uh, who was the man that just left here?
00:34:25I don't know, Mr. Jepson.
00:34:26He was talking to Mr. Williams.
00:34:29Williams in his office?
00:34:30Yes.
00:34:38Oh, Jepson.
00:34:39Hi, Williams.
00:34:40Clayton tells me the man that held him up just left here.
00:34:42Yeah, his name is Braddock.
00:34:44He paid Brennan's note.
00:34:46Hmm.
00:34:47That's bad.
00:34:48Why?
00:34:49We finished the fellow looking on quite a lot of land.
00:34:52You're under your southern boundary, haven't you?
00:34:54Yes, but I wasn't figuring on including that in the same...
00:34:57Why not, Dad?
00:34:58Well, I kind of thought I'd like to keep it to have something to fall back on.
00:35:02Dad, sell it all, please.
00:35:04Oh, sorry, Pete.
00:35:05I didn't know you were busy.
00:35:06Don't go, Tim.
00:35:07Come on in.
00:35:08Meet Jack Stanley and Carol Jepson.
00:35:09Tim Braddock.
00:35:10How do you do?
00:35:11How are you, sir?
00:35:12Getting ready to get back into Harlem?
00:35:13Dad's work again.
00:35:14He's going to sell them on.
00:35:15He wants to buy me out.
00:35:16I didn't know you thought of selling.
00:35:17When did you show him the mine?
00:35:18I didn't.
00:35:19I didn't.
00:35:20malignant sight unseen?
00:35:21Well, I, uhh...
00:35:23He's already examined them.
00:35:24When?
00:35:25Williams took him the mine.
00:35:26No.
00:35:27We have legs control by the gun.
00:35:44Sorry.
00:35:47Right.
00:35:48Who looks like that shoot?
00:35:49Williams took him through the mine a week ago.
00:35:51Williams?
00:35:51Yes.
00:35:54Do you mind if I speak to Pete privately a minute?
00:35:56Not at all.
00:36:07Who's Stanley?
00:36:08Today's the first time I ever saw him.
00:36:10Was anyone watching Williams while he was going through the mine?
00:36:13What are you driving at?
00:36:14Suppose he's discovered something you don't know anything about
00:36:16and sent Stanley out here to buy it.
00:36:17I don't think that's any concern of yours.
00:36:19Have you forgotten what you were told about thinking?
00:36:22Do you really want to sell?
00:36:23Certainly he does.
00:36:24A little girl who could be seen and not heard.
00:36:27Don't listen to him, Dad.
00:36:28He'll only get you into trouble.
00:36:29I wonder if Williams is behind this offer.
00:36:31Either Williams or somebody pretty close to him.
00:36:41Sorry, Stanley.
00:36:43The sale is off.
00:36:45If the price isn't right, maybe I can raise it a little.
00:36:47Nope, not interested.
00:36:49Well, I'll be in town for a few days in case you change your mind.
00:36:55I got some bad news, Pete.
00:36:57I'm in a new tunnel.
00:36:58What's damage done?
00:36:59I didn't stop to investigate.
00:37:01Thought you'd want to look at it.
00:37:02Cal, you want to ride out with us?
00:37:03No, I don't think I'd better.
00:37:05I've got an important engagement in town.
00:37:07Come on, then.
00:37:08What's going on, do you tudo being bad?
00:37:11I don't know.
00:37:24No, you can't.
00:37:25I don't know.
00:37:55This wasn't any accident.
00:37:59These uprights have all been cut.
00:38:05Dunn nearly caught me.
00:38:07I fired a couple of shots.
00:38:09I told him I saw somebody running away.
00:38:11You're sure he didn't suspect anything?
00:38:13Not a chance.
00:38:15Now the first thing to do is reinforce this shoring.
00:38:18Get this mess cleared out here and then we'll see what's going on.
00:38:20All right, Tim. I'll get the boys on it right away.
00:38:25There'll be a fellow named Bailey out here to see you tomorrow.
00:38:44He's a queer duck, but he knows his business.
00:38:47Let him look the place over.
00:38:48How will I know him?
00:38:50He'll ask for you.
00:38:51He'll ask for you.
00:39:21Hey, guard!
00:39:24Looking for a dumb one?
00:39:26It's about time this shows.
00:39:28No wonder they want this dump blowed up.
00:39:30I don't think you know it's a...
00:39:31That's the trouble with fellows like you.
00:39:32You don't think.
00:39:33You're satisfied to be dumb guards.
00:39:35They make four bucks a day.
00:39:36Why don't you use your head for something else besides parking your ears?
00:39:39Now take me.
00:39:40I use my noodle.
00:39:42Oh, you do, do you?
00:39:43You said it.
00:39:43I got my start from old man.
00:39:45He was a powder monkey, but he didn't use his noodle.
00:39:48And he didn't last long.
00:39:50One day he's working with powder all around him.
00:39:53And what do you think he does?
00:39:55What?
00:39:56Lights his pipe.
00:39:57That part was okay.
00:39:59But then he throws the burning match into a pile of giant black.
00:40:02And...
00:40:03He disappeared.
00:40:05In a puff of smoke.
00:40:06But that gives me an idea.
00:40:08Oh, it does.
00:40:09Sure.
00:40:10Even then, I was using the noodle.
00:40:11I figured if powder can do that to a man,
00:40:14it can do it to buildings, ships, mines,
00:40:16anything at all you wanted to get rid of.
00:40:19Well, that was using your noodle.
00:40:21You're telling me, brother?
00:40:23But I gotta be careful.
00:40:25I got a reputation.
00:40:27Me work is known.
00:40:29What do you think would happen if I was seen around here
00:40:31just before this joint went bluey?
00:40:32I haven't any idea.
00:40:34The decks would put two and two together.
00:40:36And the answer wouldn't be four.
00:40:39It'd be Bailey.
00:40:40And Bailey is me.
00:40:46You know what time it is?
00:40:48About ten o'clock.
00:40:50Ten to ten.
00:40:51And you were supposed to meet me here at eight.
00:40:53I figured this job to go up at twelve.
00:40:56But we'll never make it now.
00:40:58Hold that.
00:41:01I'll set up a tree.
00:41:03That'll be about right.
00:41:06I'm sorry, Bailey, but...
00:41:07all that kid in the mine, get it over with.
00:41:09Wait a minute.
00:41:10Don't rush me.
00:41:11Because when I'm rushed,
00:41:12my work becomes faulty.
00:41:15Wait.
00:41:16The box.
00:41:20Wait a minute.
00:41:22I suppose you think blowing up a mine's like lighting a match.
00:41:25Don't you notice a technique in this business?
00:41:28It's something you've got to devote your whole life to.
00:41:30Well, I didn't realize there was so much to blowing up anything.
00:41:33You wouldn't.
00:41:34I suppose if you were going to do the job,
00:41:36you'd hop right down into the mine,
00:41:37spread the stuff anyplace at all,
00:41:39and start running.
00:41:40Well, that's the only thing to do, isn't it?
00:41:42Listen.
00:41:44An expert looks the surface over first.
00:41:46Then he's got to find out which way the wind is blowing.
00:41:50For instance.
00:41:56See?
00:41:57It's coming in from over there.
00:41:59You've got to follow the direction of the wind.
00:42:01Come on.
00:42:02Come on.
00:42:02Come on.
00:42:12The draft turns at this corner.
00:42:16That's the first place you've got to block up
00:42:18if you want to get a double-jolt out of your stuff.
00:42:20Everything has got to be set on time.
00:42:22Just right.
00:42:26Look at the kind of equipment they give me.
00:42:28A kitchen clock.
00:42:29And I ask for a perfect timepiece.
00:42:32That means I've got to set this thing.
00:42:35Hold the box.
00:42:39Four hours ahead ought to get it.
00:42:42They make these cheap things
00:42:43to kid us into thinking
00:42:43we're getting more shut-eye in the morning.
00:42:45But they don't realize
00:42:46how tough they're making it for fellas like me.
00:42:49It's all right now, isn't it?
00:42:50Sure.
00:42:51You've just got to use the old noodle.
00:42:54Come on.
00:42:54Let's look the rest of this joint over
00:42:56so I can figure out where to put the stuff
00:42:58so it'll do the most good.
00:42:59The box.
00:43:00No use wasting anything.
00:43:02Nothing like being an iconoclapal.
00:43:03Nothing like being up to me.
00:43:05Science advances.
00:43:07And you've got to advance right along with it.
00:43:09That's why they're always sending for me, Bailey.
00:43:11I'm right up to that minute.
00:43:13You certainly are.
00:43:14Come on.
00:43:20Well, it's work.
00:43:25Wait a minute.
00:43:27Let's take a look at that room.
00:43:29That might be...
00:43:30That's an idea.
00:43:33Come on.
00:43:34What's in there?
00:43:43You, all of it.
00:43:47Your timing's all wrong, Bailey.
00:43:52What are you frisking me for?
00:43:54I'm not a gunman.
00:43:55Powder's my specialty.
00:43:56Who hired you to blow this place up?
00:43:58Where would I be
00:43:59if I was to give away the secrets of my trade?
00:44:02I know where you'll be if you don't.
00:44:04It's against my ethics to talk.
00:44:06Well, maybe you'll change your ethics
00:44:07after you've been left in here for a couple of days.
00:44:10Sit down over there.
00:44:12What are you going to do?
00:44:13Now, don't rush me.
00:44:15Because when you rush me,
00:44:16me work becomes faulty.
00:44:17Hey!
00:44:46You ain't going to leave me here in the dark.
00:44:50What, are you afraid of the dark?
00:44:53Yes.
00:44:56Well, in that case, I'll leave you at light.
00:45:09So you're a dynamiter, eh?
00:45:16Well, it's about time you showed up.
00:45:42And who are you?
00:45:43Who am I?
00:45:45You mean to say you don't know me?
00:45:46I never saw you before.
00:45:48Well, I'm known from one end of this country to the other.
00:45:51And you don't know me.
00:45:52I got a reputation I have,
00:45:53and you keep me waiting two hours.
00:45:56Say, no wonder they want this joint blown up.
00:45:59You know what time it is?
00:46:00No.
00:46:02It's ten o'clock,
00:46:03and you're supposed to meet me at eight.
00:46:05What do you think would happen
00:46:06if people saw me around you
00:46:07before this joint went bluey?
00:46:09I don't know.
00:46:10The Dixots put two and two together,
00:46:12and the answer wouldn't be four.
00:46:13It'd be Bailey,
00:46:14and Bailey is me.
00:46:15I got to be careful.
00:46:17Have you finished the job yet?
00:46:19Have I finished the job?
00:46:21I haven't even...
00:46:22There you go again.
00:46:23There's a technique to this business,
00:46:25and if you rush me,
00:46:26my work becomes faulty.
00:46:28That's what happened to me old man.
00:46:29You know, he was a powder monkey,
00:46:31and one day he's working on a job
00:46:32with a lot of high explosives,
00:46:33and what do you think he does?
00:46:35What?
00:46:36He lights his pipe.
00:46:38But that's all right.
00:46:39If he hadn't thrown the match
00:46:40into a keg of giant black.
00:46:42And quicker than that,
00:46:43he's gone.
00:46:46That's what gives me an idea.
00:46:47I said to myself,
00:46:48if powder can do that to a man,
00:46:50why can't it do the same thing
00:46:52to buildings, ships, mines,
00:46:54anything else you want to get rid of?
00:46:55So I settled down to an intensive study
00:46:57of the explosive technique,
00:46:59and that's what makes me a specialist.
00:47:01Come on, let's go outside
00:47:02and see if the coast is clear.
00:47:11Let me live on before you set it off,
00:47:12so I won't be around, will you?
00:47:14Sure.
00:47:14Leave it to me.
00:47:26Bailey get here all right?
00:47:27Yeah, about a half an hour ago.
00:47:29Funny little fellow, isn't he?
00:47:30He's funny all right,
00:47:31but I wouldn't say he was very little.
00:47:34He's got big, broad shoulders,
00:47:35a deep chest,
00:47:36and all in all,
00:47:37he's a pretty husky boy.
00:47:39Who are you talking about?
00:47:41Boy, Bailey, of course.
00:47:42That isn't Bailey you've described.
00:47:44He's a little thin fellow.
00:47:46Not the Bailey I was talking to.
00:47:48Did you mention any names?
00:47:49No, I didn't have a chance to.
00:47:51He did all the talking.
00:47:52You better disappear till I look into things.
00:47:54There's something wrong.
00:47:55Well, why the frown, little lady?
00:48:10It's not at all becoming.
00:48:12I'm worried.
00:48:13About what?
00:48:14About the way Tim Braddock is acting,
00:48:15and the way my father lives and can do anything he wants.
00:48:17What's he done?
00:48:18He says he caught a man trying to dynamite the mine.
00:48:20He put him in the old powder magazine.
00:48:22He shouldn't have done that.
00:48:24The sheriff's the one to handle a thing like that.
00:48:25Don't you think so?
00:48:26Do you want me to talk to Pete?
00:48:28I wish you would.
00:48:30Try and convince him it will all get him in trouble
00:48:31if Tim continues to take the law in his own hands.
00:48:34There's one thing I must do first.
00:48:35Then I'll hunt up your dad and see what I can do with him.
00:48:37I know he'll listen to you.
00:48:38I know he'll listen to you.
00:49:08I know he'll listen to you.
00:49:38I know he'll listen to you.
00:50:08You think you are that you can treat me this way?
00:50:21Shut up.
00:50:22You want the whole world to hear you?
00:50:23Why, I care.
00:50:24You think that I'm...
00:50:25You're going to be quiet?
00:50:27How'd you get in this fix?
00:50:31By playing nursemaid to that mug you had me meet.
00:50:33Out of the goodness of my heart,
00:50:35I was showing him some of the tricks of my trade.
00:50:37And this is the way he thanks me.
00:50:41Say, what's the chances for one of them pills?
00:50:49You didn't let any names slip while you were talking, did you?
00:50:52Names are something never mentioned in this racket.
00:50:55Why?
00:50:55What's worrying you?
00:50:57You didn't meet the right man.
00:50:59You bungled a job.
00:51:01I'm going to have to do it myself.
00:51:02Ah, so that's the way you work, is it?
00:51:04Get all the dope out of me and then touch off the joint yourself.
00:51:08Well, all right.
00:51:10Me life's full of ups and downs.
00:51:12What are you squawking about?
00:51:13You'll get your money.
00:51:15Slip the binders off, and I'll be on me way.
00:51:17You'll have to wait until tonight.
00:51:19Why?
00:51:20Too many people around.
00:51:22What time tonight?
00:51:23After dark, about eight.
00:51:25But be sure you don't do any talking.
00:51:27And you'll be sure and be here at eight.
00:51:29Because if you ain't, I'm going to talk.
00:51:31And when I do, I'll talk plenty.
00:51:33I'll be back.
00:51:35You'll leave here, all right.
00:51:36I'll see to that.
00:51:39Hey!
00:51:39Don't tie me.
00:51:41You're safer the way you are.
00:51:56Well, if he wants more money, we'll have to give it to him.
00:51:58Not a question of money.
00:51:59Braddock grabbed him.
00:52:00He's got him in the old powder room in the mine.
00:52:02How do you know?
00:52:02I saw him there.
00:52:04Will Braddock or no Braddock, I'm fine.
00:52:08If we can convince Brennan,
00:52:09that he can't work it,
00:52:11he'll sell for a nickel on the dollar.
00:52:12We'll be all right if Bailey doesn't talk.
00:52:14But suppose he does talk.
00:52:16It won't take him long to connect you with me.
00:52:18Just now, I can't see any investigation.
00:52:22Got any dynamite out there?
00:52:24Yes.
00:52:25I'll handle this myself.
00:52:27Braddock stopped you three times,
00:52:28but he won't stop me.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:31Who's been in here?
00:52:45Nobody.
00:52:47Where did these cigarettes come from?
00:52:49They ain't mine.
00:52:50Who's are they?
00:52:53Ain't got a mind reader.
00:52:54Well, whoever managed to get in here,
00:52:58didn't use his noodle, Bailey.
00:53:00Says you.
00:53:03He probably told you to keep your mouth shut.
00:53:06Keep these lights.
00:53:08You're doing the talking.
00:53:13Well, whoever he is, he'll be...
00:53:14But he's not going to find you.
00:53:18He's going to find me.
00:53:19I'm going to take your place.
00:53:25Come on over here, Bailey.
00:53:34Everything is set, Jepson.
00:53:35I'll take care of Bailey and head back into town.
00:53:39Set it off at eight o'clock.
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:49I'll take care of Bailey and head back into town.
00:54:19Well shot, William.
00:54:28I was protecting bank property.
00:54:31I was justified.
00:54:33Bank property?
00:54:34I just learned this man was going to blow up these mines.
00:54:39It looks like you're in with him.
00:54:42I in with Bailey?
00:54:44You even know his name, don't you?
00:54:46You can't deny you were going to do the job together.
00:54:48Bailey could tell you different.
00:54:52Easy to say that now.
00:54:55Maybe that's why you shot him.
00:54:57That kind of talk won't do you any good, Braddock.
00:55:02Suppose we let Bailey settle this.
00:55:04Get up and give the gentleman a seat.
00:55:28Sit down.
00:55:29Come here, Bailey.
00:55:47Is this the man who hired you?
00:55:50No.
00:55:50I never saw that gent before.
00:55:52And I've never seen him before.
00:55:57This man tried to kill you.
00:55:59You say you've never seen him before.
00:56:01Who did you see?
00:56:03Whoever he was, he sent Williams here to do the job.
00:56:05Don't you realize that?
00:56:08I ain't saying a thing.
00:56:10I guess that ought to satisfy you, Braddock.
00:56:12Well, it doesn't.
00:56:14Somebody was here visiting Bailey.
00:56:16Whoever he is, he'll be back.
00:56:19So we'll wait for him.
00:56:20That's a good idea.
00:56:20You and Bailey wait for him.
00:56:21I said we'll wait for him.
00:56:24Now sit down.
00:56:24What's the matter, William?
00:56:36Nervous?
00:56:38That sure I'm nervous.
00:56:40Nobody can tell what's liable to happen when dynamites are around.
00:56:43They're liable to blow up this place.
00:56:46They wouldn't do that.
00:56:48Whoever hired Bailey knows he's here.
00:56:50He'd get him out first.
00:56:52Suppose he didn't want to get him out.
00:56:54You know a lot about this.
00:57:00You seem pretty sure this place is going to be blown up.
00:57:06Is that why you're looking at your what?
00:57:09Uh-huh.
00:57:09I'm only trying to tell you what's liable to happen.
00:57:11Nothing is going to happen.
00:57:13How could it?
00:57:14Bailey's right here.
00:57:16He's not going to blow himself up.
00:57:18Are you, Bailey?
00:57:19Who, me?
00:57:20Don't be foolish.
00:57:24Are you ever in a mine explosion, Bailey?
00:57:35I'm here, ain't I?
00:57:37That's right.
00:57:40It must be horrible to be trapped underground.
00:57:42For instance, well, suppose someone was going to blow this mine up.
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:48There wouldn't be nothing left but the pieces.
00:57:52Well, that wouldn't be so bad.
00:57:54It'd be quick anyway.
00:57:55Huh?
00:57:57It must be awful to hear the sound of rocks and dirt falling all around you.
00:58:01Knowing it's stealing you in a tomb.
00:58:03Men go mad in places like that.
00:58:08First is the hope of rescue.
00:58:12The lantern gets dimmer and dimmer as the air is exhausted.
00:58:17You listen first.
00:58:18The sound of rescue.
00:58:19Suddenly you hear the hammers and the drills up above.
00:58:22But you clutch your throat.
00:58:25That gasping, choking, suffocation overtakes you.
00:58:28The air is going fast.
00:58:32Every breath a man takes shortens the lives of the others.
00:58:36And then the light goes out.
00:58:39There's nothing but darkness, horror, and death.
00:58:44Let me all get out.
00:58:45Take it easy, Williams.
00:58:47Don't let your imagination run away with you.
00:58:49This place will not be blown up in a minute.
00:58:50What minute?
00:58:51I don't know.
00:58:54What's worrying about?
00:58:56Unless you do know.
00:58:56If you do, you're a fool to stay here and wait for the explosions.
00:58:59All right.
00:58:59All right.
00:59:00This place is going to be blown up by 8 o'clock.
00:59:01We've only got a minute to get out here.
00:59:03Who's going to blow it up and why?
00:59:04Jackson, from the other mine.
00:59:05We were going to close this off because we found a big vein of gold underneath.
00:59:08I said, this place is going up.
00:59:09Let me out in here.
00:59:14Williams, come back here.
00:59:15You can't get out that way.
00:59:21We've got just 30 seconds to get out of here.
00:59:26We'll be back here.
00:59:55What's happened, Tim?
01:00:02Hold this man.
01:00:04Come on, Pete.
01:00:25Come on, Pete.
