Man of the Forest (1933) - full transcript

What's the matter with you?

Sorry, but I don't
understand your language.

Take it easy while we
run the rest of the track.

What are you following me for Mike?

I want to get a watchdog
and throw you out

unless you stay
closer to my cabin.

You know that?

Listen, you stay
here till I get back.

Oh, Jim.
- Hi, Brett.

I missed you last week.

I've been farming around
here the last couple of days



Thought you'd be coming up.

Well, I've been pretty busy.

That timber of yours over on
funeral range looks pretty good.

I'll be sending down
for Lumberjacks pretty soon.

Good. I'd like to have enough hands.

Never saw the lake so high Jim?

Yeah. I guess I'd met those Southfork
ranches have more water this soon.

For devils. And yella got
scorched out last summer.

I'd like to hope for them.

They have troubles enough
even when they're irritating.

How's the trap been
seeing? - Pretty good.

I wish I'd have had
this trap set yesterday.

I might have caught
Fred Beasley in it.

He was up here snooping
around with five or six of his men.



What'd he want?
- I don't know.

Who told one of the boys
you'd be up to see you today.

I warned him to stay
away from this place.

He's just trying
to start more trouble.

He suddenly had
your trouble with the visas.

You don't think I killed
Beasley's brother, do your breath?

Doesn't making a difference Jim.
Never thought much about it.

Well, I didn't. Two Beasley's
own men killed his brother.

I threatened to do the same
thing when I find him stealin my timber.

That gave him a
chance to pin it on me.

With Beasley's hand
victory I went to jail.

Everybody around
here knows that.

I'd hate to see Beasley
get those Lakes.

I had a lot of plans for them.

So wonder where those
two men are I still appeared.

Must be somewheres
around here waiting.

We haven't started on that
new flood great they promised me.

I can see why.

Come on that should get the headlock.

That's it, that's it,

Come on beat you.
Come on boy.

Did they get that mule?

They brought it with him.

It's a wrestling match. The next
world's champion in his manager.

He's taunting god big. That's it.
Come on give that toehold now in a big.

Well I bet none of you.
- He hasn't thrown the meal yet.

That's it. Wow come on.

When you're Sorensen - all
just one big. - One whose shoulders?

Get around around.
They have nothing.

Wait, did you know what I talked about?

That help. - Uh, yeah.
He's sagging found me.

Uh, he fouled it. Was a fair throw.
It was, it was. - It was not.

Well let me know who wins.
Jim I got one more trap to set.

All right.

Well, Guinea in the
mood to talk business.

I haven't got anything that geez Lee.

You're in ten days.
- And going to happen.

And when it does don't forget

what did you mean by ten days.

The government's
gonna make every ranch

here in this section
proof title to his property

by the first of the month.

I'm afraid I ain't
gonna be able to do that.

On account of that jail term.

But you've had all this
property for twenty years.

I'm afraid that won't
make any difference.

What do you plan to do, Jim? - I
think I've got one way to beat him.

I'll turn over whatever rights
I have to one of my family.

And let them prove before me.
Maybe telling you about my niece...

Well, Alice gets here tomorrow.
She's going to make a home with me.

That's great.

Say, whines come up
and have supper with us?

Well, I don't know why... - I've got an
idea you change your mind about women.

Maybe.

I'll have an extra plate
sent on for you anyway.

The trouble with you is
you're afraid of Rodney.

He can't hurt you.
- Yeah, but I...

Why don't you stand your
ground and look him in the eye.

Well, are you, are
you... - Where you going?

Hej, we got to...
get to work we got work to do.

Look him right in the eye.

Any port in the storm Mike?

Come on we'd
better get out of sight.

I want to get up
my confessions.

In the wind pig's ears be

here he'll be along.

Light a fire.

What's Beasley dragon
is all the way up here for?

I don't know. - Better
be something important.

I got something important in
that floor and when he gets here.

rival gainer mine too late huh worry me

getting here tomorrow you know what that

means don't you know that what he meant

when he said that a lot of things gonna

happen an hmm he was step aside firing

her name when the land often opens
