1
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:16,839
Speaker 1: Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a

2
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:21,039
tough business, it's big business. I've got a big stake

3
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,160
in it. There's no man west of the Rio Grand

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,559
big enough to take it from me.

5
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:48,079
Speaker 2: Luke Slutter of Tombstone. Luke Slutter of Tombstone. Civil War

6
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,200
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman across the territory, from Yuma to

7
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,119
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Watchukas, and below the

8
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:01,600
border through Chihuahua and Sonora. His name was respected or feared,

9
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,520
depending on which side of the law you were on.

10
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:19,239
Man of vision, man of legend. Luke Slutter of Tombstone.

11
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: The bunk house had quieted down an hour before, and

12
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,519
I should have been in bed myself. I stood on

13
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:30,560
the verandah watching the heat lightning play around Apache Peak.

14
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,719
It was quiet, too quiet. Then I heard a single

15
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:39,799
rider coming into the ranch, held bent for leather. I

16
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,079
sensed trouble. I was right, Luke, Yeah, which die with you?

17
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,879
Speaker 3: Hurry that little a little bunch that we cut out

18
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
for Britain and took to the Upper masson this morning.

19
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: What about it?

20
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:54,519
Speaker 4: Critters is gone?

21
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: What? Yeah, there's only one trail leading up there.

22
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all our tracks on it pointed down here

23
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,599
at the bottom. They find out toward the border.

24
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 1: How much of a head started they got?

25
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,079
Speaker 3: Well, Pete Packer coming for supper, and I went out

26
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,639
night hurt. After about three hours, I reckon.

27
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: Get Pete and Inky from the bunk house. Saddle up

28
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,199
my night horse. We've got some riding to do.

29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,439
Speaker 4: Getting on toward sun of Luke.

30
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be catching up with them brand artists pretty soon.

31
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,759
Speaker 1: But without them knowing that if we can jurn colities.

32
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:37,879
Speaker 3: When I get my old Winchester lord on them.

33
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: They're going on, Lord, Oh, what's the matter.

34
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: You've got to smell them.

35
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Look up there on top of that rise.

36
00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:50,719
Speaker 3: Why that's a sheet critter.

37
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,759
Speaker 1: Pete, Kinky, circle and vulture fire until you can see

38
00:02:54,759 --> 00:03:01,039

39
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:12,599
Speaker 5: Sure, Oh shut up your turn, mall cow over here,

40
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:15,000
I'm coming yours.

41
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: There's the herd, but I don't see any riders.

42
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: That wasn't no cow rustlers must be down there in

43
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:26,319
the drawer.

44
00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:29,439
Speaker 1: Sit tight, Wichita. We've gotta give Pete and Hinky time

45
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:30,520
to get the other side of them.

46
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,439
Speaker 3: Well, we keep on being announced. They're going to know

47
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:36,360
we're sitting out here waiting to pot him.

48
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,879
Speaker 1: Get ready they know it now.

49
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,479
Speaker 3: Can't see too well in this light, but just show

50
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,199
me something to shoot at. There you go off to

51
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,639
the right. But look they're getting away.

52
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,039
Speaker 1: And Pet and Hinky are out there somewhere.

53
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:51,879
Speaker 3: Well, were just going to sit here.

54
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:55,919
Speaker 1: That's moving slow. Only one horse rode out. This could

55
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,800
be a trap. We're coming in. Throw it on your guns.

56
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: Looks like there was only one man and he's gone.

57
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: What do you think that is sticking out from behind

58
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,199
that rock over there?

59
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,439
Speaker 3: That's a boot and a man's leg.

60
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,439
Speaker 1: Come on, yep, that's a man, all.

61
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Right, But he appears to be dead and wean fired

62
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,639
a shot.

63
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: He's not dead, he's been knocked out.

64
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,639
Speaker 3: Well, if he don't wake up in time, he won't

65
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,879
know he's been strung up.

66
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,639
Speaker 1: Come on you, well, what.

67
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: About that other one? Without the critters to slow him down,

68
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,839
he'll make the border before we can catch him.

69
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,319
Speaker 1: Let's see what this one has to say first. Come on, no,

70
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,360
what do you say I didn't catch him? Give him

71
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,519
drink out of your canteen? What you to give him

72
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,759
a drink? He's still human? Even if he is a thief.

73
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,079
Speaker 3: I hope it chokes him.

74
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,079
Speaker 1: What what hit me?

75
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,519
Speaker 3: Well, Luke, he's just a kid.

Speaker 1: Yeah. What's your name? Boy?

77
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,199
Speaker 3: Who are you?

78
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,639
Speaker 1: Luke Slaughter? These are my cattle you're trying to steal.

79
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,160
Let me go easy now, I'll ask you once more?

Speaker 6: What's you gonna do with me?

85
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 4: We're going to hang up to dry on the nurse tree.

00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 6: I ain't done nothing, ain't done nothing.

89
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,639
Speaker 4: Ain't done nothing.

90
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't your father, Buck Rainier, the shotgun messenger who was

91
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:54,680
killed last year on the stage coach or under Prescott?

92
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 6: What of it?

93
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: How about your mother? Buck? What became a herd? Well?

94
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,439
Speaker 6: You just leave her out of this?

95
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: Okay?

Speaker 4: Let him go.

Speaker 1: Take him back to the ranch with us?

109
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,879
Speaker 6: I don't want to go to no ranch.

110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,519
Speaker 1: Doesn't look to me like you've got much choice. By

111
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,360
the way, why did your partner put you to sleep?

112
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,120
I ain't gonna say suit yourself, all right, let's go.

113
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:53,759

Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, in which you ta? How's a boy doing?

115
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,319
Speaker 3: I didn't need no shupper. None of the hands will

116
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:01,879
talk to him.

117
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,439
Speaker 1: Poor kidd couldn't be one seventeen.

118
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:09,759
Speaker 3: Luke, you're harboring a cattle rustler's age. Don't make no

119
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:11,279
difference what you're doing it for?

120
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Which to do you remember when his daddy was shot last.

121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,759
Speaker 3: YEARN ain't exactly sure.

122
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: He was riding messenger on the Tombstone to Prescott's stagecoach

123
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,920
when it ran into an ambush. Rennie was killed.

124
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: I seem to recollect now, and.

125
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: You, Buck Radier, he worked for me several years ago

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,480
when I brought a herd up from Sonora. He was

127
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,319
always talking about this boy, proud of him, said he

128
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,519
was going to build up a stake for him.

129
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: Can't be much of a daddy when you're dead.

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Last I heard he was living with his mother over

131
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:46,439
in Prescott.

132
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,279
Speaker 3: Well you sure ain't now, pears to me, he's made

133
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,759
up his mind what trail he wants to ride.

134
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: With a little help, he might change his mind.

135
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,519
Speaker 3: Luke, you ain't figuring on keeping him here at the ranch.

136
00:07:58,759 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Why not?

137
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:02,439
Speaker 3: Why he he's lib or just stab you in the

138
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,800
back and make a run for it.

139
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: I have never had a son, which but I don't

140
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,040
think there's any such thing as a bad boy. Men

141
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:11,000
make him look that way.

142
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: You picked a good and to prove.

00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,879
Speaker 1: There it's open. Come on in, what's your sorter?

144
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:18,959
Speaker 6: I want to know what you're aiming to do with me?

145
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: You speaking? You're spoken? Tool?

146
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,839
Speaker 3: Nah, you turn around, march out of here before I

00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,560
blow a hole in your pants.

148
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: But the way that gun, you're gonna let him talk

149
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:33,039
to you. That way you're going back to the bunk house.

150
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,799
I'll send him down in a few minutes.

151
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: All right, Luke, things is coming to a party. Pass

152
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:44,120
When you treat rustlers like they was visiting neighbors.

153
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,279
Speaker 6: Sit down, said, I don't want to sit down, you smoke,

out of Presscott.

164
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:31,759
Speaker 1: That's an honest job. I'd just decide to become a wrestler.

165
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,399
Speaker 6: I didn't decide to. I ain't going to tell you nothing.

166
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,039
Speaker 1: I should turn you over to the sheriff. You know that, Buck,

167
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:44,759
then go ahead and do it. You admired your father,

168
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:48,039
didn't you. He was a good man, I know, Buck?

169
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,240
But since he's dead, you're trying to prove in your

170
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,080
own way that the name Rainier means something, aren't you? Yeah?

171
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 6: And I will too.

172
00:09:58,159 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: By cattle wrestling.

173
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,159
Speaker 6: Or you wouldn't believe me if I told you the truth?

174
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Nobody would.

175
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Why don't you try me.

176
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,759
Speaker 6: I'll handle this in my own way and in my

177
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,480
own time.

178
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,919
Speaker 1: Why won't you tell me anything about your mother? Buck?

179
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,759
Did she remarry?

180
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:19,919
Speaker 6: No? I don't want to talk about my mother.

181
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,919
Speaker 1: I see. Well, let's see then you get out of

182
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,320
the bunk house and get some sleep. You've got work

183
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,360
to do tomorrow, work starting right now. You're one of

184
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,039
the punchers on this spread forty a month and keep,

185
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,519
and you equal to any man in the outfit as

186
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,759
long as you do your work, that is, if you

187
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:38,399
want the job.

188
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 6: If I want it, you bet I want it.

189
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Which ital i'd fit you in the morning at sharps

190
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:47,600
you would carrying when we pickedurep we'll do for a

191
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,399
saddle gun, and this smith and Wesson are to do

192
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,320
for holster duty.

193
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,279
Speaker 6: You you're gonna let me carry that six shooter.

194
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: Every man carries at least one, mister.

195
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 8: Slaughter, I'm gonna be the best dog.

196
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: On hands you ever had, you know, Buck, I believe

197
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:15,320
you will. Let's see, Luke.

198
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: Luke, I give you credit for more sense than you're

199
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,759
showing about this kid.

200
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: What have I done now?

201
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: Why letting him ride out of here by himself at night?

202
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,799
Speaker 4: You don't expect him to come back, do you?

203
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:28,639
Speaker 1: What did you say?

204
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: Well, you'll give him permission to take one of your horses,

205
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:32,559
didn't you?

206
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: I did not.

207
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: And he's a horse stief in addition to being a wrestler.

208
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,559
Of course, if you want to let him go, and

209
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,399
I'm sorry I bothered you.

210
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: All right, saddle up my night horse, yours too. We'll

211
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:47,840
go after him.

212
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,399
Speaker 3: If you're asking me.

213
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not asking you. Now. Let's get him before

214
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,840
he pulls another full stunt.

215
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: In a moment, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone returns. Have you

216
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,200
got a little list? Paper cups, paper plates, charcoal, sandwich wrapping,

217
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:13,240
mustard napkins.

218
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Write it on a list so nothing will be forgotten.

219
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: Next weekend you'll be joining the rest of America for

220
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:22,080
the first big outdoor weekend of the year, the big

221
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,360
three day Memorial Day weekend. You'll be heading for the beach,

222
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,440
the woods, the mountains. Don't land there without the forks,

223
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080
the Franks and the film don't find out too late.

224
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,279
The vacuum jug fell to the floor last fall. Check now,

225
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:48,360
buy now at your grocers or Druggists, and now Act

226
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,720
two of William and Robson's production of Luke Slutter of Tombstone.

227
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say one thing. The kid sure ain't trying

228
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,360
to cover his tracks.

229
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: Looks like he's headed straight for town.

230
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: That new artillery you'll give him. He can create quite eruption,

231
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,000
or he runs again.

232
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: He's not running with town. He's up to something. I

233
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:25,600
knew what it was.

234
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: Well, he's up tomorre right, probably going to meet his

235
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,440
rustling friend and tell him what an easy mark you are.

236
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: Which a time. If you've been kicked around as much

237
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,320
as that boy, you take a few wrong turns too.

238
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,279
Speaker 3: But you don't know right from wrong when you lay

239
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,240
it out for him.

240
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: I think he does. Now, I know what you think,

241
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,519
and I know what I think. Let's keep quiet and

242
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,600
find him.

243
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: Sure, Luke, that's the way you want it.

244
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,159
Speaker 1: Here's my pieball tied up in front of the Crystal Palace.

245
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,519
Speaker 4: He's in there.

246
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Let's take a look.

247
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: Oh, now, what you're gonna do for years in there?

248
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,639
Haul him out?

249
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,879
Speaker 1: No, let's stop here by the door that we can see.

250
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: Do you spot him?

251
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? Fire into the bar talking to a man with

252
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:27,639
a black mustache.

253
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, slick looking saddle warmer an. He looks like he's

254
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,919
been riding hard too.

255
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,399
Speaker 1: Never seen him before, new one to me, And I told.

256
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:40,639
Speaker 3: You that kid was coming to town for a powwall.

257
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Here he comes. Let's get back out of the light.

258
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: Now is the time to grab him.

259
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: Look quiet.

260
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:56,159
Speaker 3: M hmm, Well he sure ain't looking to be spied

261
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,080
on him.

262
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: Headed right back for the ranch, which is how you

263
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:03,200
wait here. I'm going in and talk to that waddie.

264
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,840
Talk to him.

265
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,879
Speaker 3: Why don't you get him arrested for wrestling?

266
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: Takes more than suspicion to arrest a man, which.

267
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,679
Speaker 3: You're sure doing a lot of pushy footing over one

268
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,559
stray kid.

269
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,399
Speaker 1: We were all kids at one time. I think this

270
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,399
one needs a nudge in the right direction.

271
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: If you don't get your pin feathers singed while doing it.

272
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:35,679
Speaker 1: Whiskey bartender, you you joined me, stranger?

Speaker 1: Sure, if you want that job, come on out tomorrow.

289
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,720

Speaker 9: Located, Thanks, Slaughter, I just may do that.

291
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Goodnight price, morning buck. I see which attack got j outfitted.

292
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 6: It's you're dead. These new duds feel awful good.

293
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: And the next thing you'll need is a string of horses.

294
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:46,279
A string on my own, and I've heard of a

295
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200
cowboy doing his job on foot.

296
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:50,519
Speaker 6: Gosh, my own string.

297
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: Since you've taken a liking to that piebald you were

298
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:55,559
riding last night, let's start with that one.

299
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,159
Speaker 6: How'd you know I rode into town last night?

300
00:16:59,600 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I know?

301
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,919
Speaker 6: Ain't you gonna do nothing about it?

302
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: I figure when you get ready to tell me what

303
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,519
you're up to, you will.

304
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,279
Speaker 6: You trust me? Don't you?

305
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,279
Speaker 1: Mister slaughter. I trust any man until he proves he

306
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:13,000
isn't worthy of it.

307
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,079
Speaker 6: Ain't nobody ever trusted me before?

308
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:20,079
Speaker 1: Not like that. It's about time somebody did. Then. Oh uh,

309
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,160
by the way, ran into a friend of yours at

00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,880
the Crystal Palace last night, name a price price.

311
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 6: He ain't no friend of mine?

312
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,559
Speaker 1: Oh I thought he was. I offered him a job.

313
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 6: You offered him a job?

314
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: Anything wrong with that? Well, it's your spread now.

315
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,319
Speaker 6: I'd like to pick out those horses now, if you

316
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:44,039
don't mind.

317
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:48,599
Speaker 1: All right, let's get down to the corral. Well, looks

318
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,519
like Price is gonna take me up on that job.

319
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,759
Speaker 6: I'm going down to it.

Speaker 7: No, you wait here, morning Price, Morning Slaughter, Yeah, hello, Buck,

321
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,240
good morning.

322
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 9: I thought i'd amble out and see what you had

323
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:05,720
to offer.

324
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: Glad you did you want the job?

325
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 9: How many head do you run?

326
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: Around? Five hundred right now? Increasing it gradually? It ought

327
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,680
to be enough to keep a man busy. I'll take

328
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,680
it good. You're obviously in old hands. I'll pair you

329
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:24,799
up with Buck here, mister Slaughter.

330
00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:28,079
Speaker 9: That sounds good to me. Maybe I can teach the

331
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,160
kid to thing it too.

332
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can now, Buck, we'll pick out two

333
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:34,839
strings of horses.

334
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,799
Speaker 9: Riding night guards my specialty.

335
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Slaughter. Oh, now, we can start you right out at

336
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,720
that tonight. Most of the boys prefer bunk house duty

337
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:45,359
after dark.

338
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:46,519
Speaker 6: Mister Slaughter.

339
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: Yes, Buck, never mind, let's get the horses.

340
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,519
Speaker 3: Hang you or Luke.

341
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,519
Speaker 4: You didn't even let me finish my supper.

342
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: It can have two suppers tomorrow. Did you tell the

343
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:09,559
boys what I told you?

344
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 6: Yep?

345
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: Said you and me had to ride in the tombstore

346
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:15,039
on a cattle deal.

347
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: This evening, Price over here, you make sure he did.

348
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,839
Speaker 4: Goodness, Now, we ain't going to town. Where are we going?

349
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,039
Speaker 1: Same place we went two nights ago, Upper Mesa?

350
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: Why kidding that new fella prize right night?

351
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:32,039
Speaker 4: Heard up that night went up nearly in rble?

352
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: You trust that combination?

353
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: Of course not, But you're in the wash.

354
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,079
Speaker 1: Give a man enough rope, he's liable to hang himself.

355
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:43,960
Give a boy enough rope, he might get tangled up.

356
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:46,640
I figure bucks tangled up.

357
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: You're still trusting that kid.

358
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him do anything wrong. If I do,

359
00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:55,240
I'll change my tune.

360
00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's a trail entrance leading up to the ma

361
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:03,240
Sa Luke, you want to go first.

362
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: We'll stop right here here. Whoever comes down has to

363
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720
pass this point. It's the only trail.

364
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,839
Speaker 3: You're aiming to ambush Price in that kid.

365
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Ambush now, observe is the word which.

366
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: You could observe them back at the ranch.

367
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: Would you go in all this trouble for proof? I'll

368
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,440
bet you a heifer against four bits. There's another wrestling

369
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,160
attempt tonight.

370
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: How do you figure that to?

371
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: Take a look at Price's hands.

372
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,799
Speaker 3: I didn't like his face. Didn't get as far as

373
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:33,400
his hands.

374
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,839
Speaker 1: They're soft gambler's hands. He's not a working cowboy.

375
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,079
Speaker 3: What does that prove?

376
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,519
Speaker 1: Nothing yet? But I think that Price is the wrestler

377
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:45,160
who got away the other night, and I think he's

378
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,119
forcing Buck to act against his will. Well, if you

379
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:51,920
ask me, I didn't. Let's hide the horses and get set.

380
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Luke, if the kid helped Price move them

381
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,960
cattle out, he's guilty of wrestling, no matter what you think.

382
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,880
Think about it.

383
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: This time he won't be knocked out, and if he

384
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,400
doesn't answer some straight questions, he'll go to jail the

385
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,200
same as Price.

386
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,079
Speaker 3: Here's they come, Luke, Piers yours right?

387
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get down off the trail into the flat,

388
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,519
and then we'll challenge him.

389
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,839
Speaker 3: There's Price and the kid bringing up the rear.

390
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:28,839
Speaker 1: When they pass in front of us, I'm going to

391
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,559
stand up, keep me covered. Either one of them reaches

392
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:34,279
for his gun, shoot, don't you Luke? All right? Get

393
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,880
ready calling Price? Wait a minute, this is as far.

394
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 4: As we're going.

395
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?

396
00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 9: Come on, we gotta keep these pritters moving.

397
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:45,279
Speaker 6: I'm not going any farther in either of you.

398
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:49,519
Speaker 9: Don't you give me that back talk, you do what

399
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,920
I tell you? Well, what's the idea of the gun?

400
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,759
Speaker 6: I've taken all I'm gonna take from you? Price, I'm

401
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,480
gonna kill you.

402
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 9: You're gonna kill me.

403
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:04,319
Speaker 8: I don't know what my mother sees in you. You're

404
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,519
nothing but a lion, cheat and gambler, and now you

405
00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:07,519
turn into a wrestler.

406
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,279
Speaker 6: Well, you can't make me one too.

407
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 9: Your mar's a pretty woman.

408
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:12,319
Speaker 1: Buck.

409
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 9: We're gonna get married on the money we make selling

410
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:20,319
this herd. You wouldn't shoot your own daddy, now, would you.

411
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 8: You ain't one tenth the man my daddy was. And

412
00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:25,359
my mother's had enough grief in her life. You ain't

413
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,279
gonna add no more to it.

414
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 9: You're forgetting that you're just as much of a wrestler

415
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,400
as I.

416
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: No, I'm not.

417
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 8: If my mother wasn't mixed up with you, i'd have

418
00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:35,079
told mister Slaughter who you were the night you knocked

419
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,480
me out and left me to take the blame.

420
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 6: I don't know why he's been.

421
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 8: So good to me, offered me a job at all,

422
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,440
but I'm not gonna pay him back by letting you

423
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,119
get away with this.

424
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna kill you right now.

425
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 8: Right price to missus Slaughter, you shot the gun right.

426
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,279
Speaker 6: Out of my hand.

427
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't stand by and let you commit murder. Buck,

428
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,000
I've learned all I need to know about mister Price

429
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,200
and his wrestling. Just a minute's laughter.

430
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,599
Speaker 7: We're still on your property and you can't prove a

431
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,000
charge of rustling Price.

432
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Did I give you orders to move that herd down

433
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,240
from Upper Mesa tonight? No? Just who do you think

434
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,039
the judge is gonna believe you?

435
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:19,079
Speaker 6: You still want me to work for you, mister Slaughter.

436
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Of course I do, Buck, And after the trial of

437
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,079
this sidewine to hear it might be a good idea

438
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,160
if you took a week off and rode over to

439
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Prescott to see your mother. I'd like that take along

440
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,000
a copy of the Tombstone epitaph that tells about Price's trial.

441
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,680
It'll set her straight on the mistake she almost made.

442
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:43,039
Let her know what kind of a man she raised.

443
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: Luke Slutter of Tombstone, starring Sam Buffington, was written by

Speaker 1: To be s
