*

Oh, big chiefs in the clouds,
answer me.

Geronimo?
Sitting bull?

Miss pocahontas?

Oh, rain-in-the-face,

please Pierce the veil.

Oh, big chiefs in the clouds,
speak to me!

Don't somebody want
to talk to me?

Voice: Sure, we talk.

Uh, wh-wh-who are you?

Voice: Me big chief
standing pine.



Uh, wh-wh-where are you
standing, pine?

Standing pine:
Right beside you,
paleface.

Well, h-h-have you got
a message for me?

Standing pine:
Look in crystal ball.

What you see?

Nothing.

Standing pine:
Look some more!

You see now?

Big vein of gold
in ground.

Heap plenty gold.

Do you see?

Y-Yes, I think I do.

Standing pine: You go get
heap big fortune in gold.

Big nuggets.



Uh, where?

Thirteen paces due east
from Cortez rock,

on south side,
stone mountain.

You dig, dig, dig,
dig, dig...

Hey, hey,
wait a minute.

Uh, tell me more,
standing pine!

Uh...oh.

Thirteen paces
other side of Cortez rock.

Thirteen paces...

There's Cortez rock.

The Indian spirit ain't
never fooled me yet.

Now, let me see.
Thirteen paces east.

Yeah, that's east.

One, two, three,
four, six..

No...five, five.

Seven, eight, nine,
ten, e--ten, e-eleven,

one dozen, thirteen.

( Rocks clanking )

( Laughs )

Good old standing pine!

You told me right this time.
Gold! Gold!

( Laughs )

Man: Reach for the sky!

( Pans clatter )

Why, you bandy-legged
little scarecrow!

What are you doing
trespassing on my claim?

Oh, I ain't trespassing,
mister.

I'm just...
Viewing the view.

You know, I oughtta fill you
so full of bullets,

they could work you
for a lead mine.

I'm sorry.
I ain't doin' nothin'.

My Indian guide told me
to come up here.

Where is that redskin?

I'll pump him
full of holes, too.

You couldn't. He's already
in the happy hunting ground.

Hey, are you trying
to make a fool out of me?

No! It's the truth!

He's my psychic spirit.

He tells me a lot of things
about the future and such.

Hey, wait a minute.

Ain't you fuzzy q. Jones
from showdown flats?

The fella that tells
all the other people

what's gonna happen
before it does?

Yep, that's me,
the great Jones. Heh heh.

Shake hands, chum.
I'm nord finner.

Glad to shake the hand
of a great man like you.

Say fuzzy, maybe
that Indian pal of yours

could tell me where
I could dig up

a little gold dust
on this claim.

Oh, uh...Ain't you found
nothin' yet?

Not enough
to fill a gnat's tooth.

Well, that's too bad.
Uh...

Um, standing pine--
that's my guide,

he didn't say nothin'
about there being any gold

on this here mountain.

Oh, he didn't, huh?

Well, I might as well give up
working this claim.

'Cause if you say
there ain't gold, there ain't,

because you sure know
what you're talkin' about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, say, I kinda like
this view from up here.

Uh, how much will you take
for this property?

Oh, let me see.

I'm sort of
a sentimental cuss.

I've put a lot
of sweat into this claim,

and I kinda like
the view myself.

But, uh...

Well, if you'll
fork over a 50--

$50?
Sold, Mr. Phillip!

The price
is $50,000.

Hey, are you crazy?

Yeah, just so crazy

that I think you know
something that I don't.

Now, that's the price!

Pay it or get off
of my property.

Well, now, couldn't we
talk this over?

Yeah, for 50,000.

Now get goin',
and don't come back

until you can put
the money on the barrel head.

But, uh--

listen!

I ain't killed a guy
in over a week,

and I wouldn't trust you
with myself if I was you.

Now get outta here!

All right, all right.

But just try
to overcharge me

for this big ol' piece
of nothin' around here,

you'll probably break your arm,
that's what you'll do.

Get goin'!

( Gunshots )

Ha ha! Ha ha!

And sure enough,
just as fuzzy said,

I shipped my cattle
to Carson city

and I got $4.00 more
a head.

The man's uncanny,
I tell ya!

That ain't nothin'.

The man told me
I'd strike it rich

just by stakin' a claim
in ulder gulch.

And I'll wager
it'll pay off.

Like the United States
mint.

There comes
Mr. Jones now.

( Everyone greeting loudly )

Aw, thanks, fellas.
You're all so nice to me.

Not at all.
You deserve it.

You're the biggest man
in these parts. Yessiree!

Uh, Mr. Jones?

When would be
a good time
to sow my crops?

Oh, about the first.

First of what?
First chance you get.

( Everyone laughs )

Think I'll be
gettin' hitched
this year, fuzz?

Oh, i--i never mess
in domestic affairs.

It ain't safe.

( Everyone laughs )

Now, listen, fuzz.

You put Ralph Emery
onto a pretty fine
goldmine.

How about letting the rest of US
in on something good?

All: Yeah.

Wait a minute,
fellas, I was goin' to...

Nope, that ain't
no good.

What ain't no good?

Tell US anyway.

Well, this
is too big.

Even for me
to handle.

I just don't know
how to do it.

You mean you can't
figure things out

with that wonderful brain
of yours?

This is different.

How'd you figure out
these other things?

Uh, that's my secret.

Well, I ain't
gettin' nosy,

but why don't you figure
this big deal out
the same way?

Say, maybe you got
somethin' there.

Maybe you have.
Maybe you have.

I was
just suggestin',
that's all.

Well, I gotta go.
I got work to do.

Just a minute. How 'bout
buying you a little drink?

No, I'm in a hurry.

( All talk at once )

Take care
of yourself.

You better start
ridin' now.

Calling standing pine.

Calling standing pine.
Come in, standing pine.

Standing pine:
Standing pine speaks.

Fine. Say, everything
was just like you said.

There's plenty of gold,

but there's another feller
owns it.

Standing pine:
Everything okay.

You buy from feller,
me tell how.

Gee whillikers.
You will?

You listen careful.

You got plenty friends.

They help buy
stone mountain.

They give money to you,

you give all friends
chance to make money.

Everybody get rich,
plenty rich. Savvy?

Yeah, yeah, me savvy.
That's a swell idea!

Listen more.

You don't tell no one
where is gold

until you get deed.

Oh, no, standing pine.
That's a secret of ours.

Standing pine:
You plenty smart fella.

I know, standing pine,

but this is such
a big proposition,

I'm gonna send for my pal.

He's got brains.
He'll help me swing the deal.

'Course, I won't tell him
anything about the claim

until everything
is Jake.

Who is friend?

Fuzzy: Uh, Billy Carson.

Billy Carson?

Him no friend,
him bad medicine.

Don't trust nobody.

Yeah, but I can't
do it alone.

I'm gonna send for him anyhow.

You send,
maybe he never get here.

Oh, yes, he will.

He knows how
to take care of himself.

Okay, okay.
Trance all over.

Standing pine.

Hey, hey,
standing pine? Hey.

I got a couple more things
I wanna tell ya.

I wonder if he belongs
to the union.

How'd you make out?

All right,
but that stupid runt

wants to send
for Billy Carson.

Billy Carson?

That guy run US out
of dodge city.

Yeah, I know.

Well, what'd you
tell him?

I had to say "okay,"

but I sorta warned him
his pal might not get here.

Emery, you're
a regular prophet yourself.

Pull up a chair.

( Laughs )

Give me three cards.

You see, boys,
it works like this--

give it a little yank,
and it breaks his neck.

Looks like an accident,
but we're in the clear.

And if he
should bounce,

he wouldn't have a chance
to reach his hardware

until it was too late.

Well, we better hurry.

According to where
we last saw him,

he should be through
sawtooth pass by now.

Yeah. Cover it up.

Put a little sagebrush
over it.

Oh, don't worry about it.
He won't see nothin'.

Boys, this is it.
Get ready.

Whoa, boy.
Whoa, boy.

What's the matter?

Settle down.

What's the matter
with you?

Whoa!

( Gunshots )

He sure is
a slippery bird.

What do you intend
to do about it?

Well, he may have
outsmarted US this time,

but I'll get him yet.

You better hurry
and do it fast, nord.

I don't like
the looks of this.

Come on.

( Men talking )

I gotta
get my money.

Oh, here he is now.

Well, I'm sorry, boys,
but I'm just closing up.

Now, see here,
Mr. Wilson,

three days ago I asked you
for a loan on my spread.

How come I ain't got
any action?

It takes time to arrange
things like this.

You know, drawing up
papers and such.

I can't be fussin' around
waiting for that.

I wanna get in on
fuzzy Jones' proposition.

Me, too.
So do I.

Now, just a minute,
gentlemen,

I'm going to try
and accommodate all of you,

but it's going
to take a little time.

Fuzzy ain't gonna wait
while we dawdle around.

Pardon me, boys.

Mr. Wilson,
here's the deed

on that 160 acres
of mine.

I'd like to borrow
about $10,000 on it.

I'll give you
my personal note,
as well.

Well, I think this
could be worked out,
Mr. Reed,

but it'll take
a little time.

( Men talk loudly )

Uh, by the way,
Mr. Reed,

are you going into
this proposition of fuzzy's?

You're darn right
I am.

Well, now, i--
if I were you,

I'd investigate this
a little further.

I wouldn't rush
into this blindly.

Now, see here,
you're a banker,

and naturally
a cautious man.

Fuzzy Jones
is a lucky man.

I'm taking his advice.

Man: Me, too.
He's psychic.

Man: He knows
what's gonna happen

before it happens.

I'd hate to sit
in a poker game with him.

He'd know every card
before it's dealt.

( All laugh )
He sure would.

Fuzzy told me
he made a strike

that's the granddaddy
of all gold strikes.

If he needs
any backin',

I'm climbin'
on his wagon.

Hey, here comes
fuzzy now.

( All shout greetings )

Look out!
Hey!

Take care of yourself
there.

Aw, shucks. Ain't nothin'
gonna happen to me.

If there was,
wouldn't I know it?

That's right, fuzzy.
You can see the future.

( Chattering continues )

Say, don't forget to save me
a piece of that proposition,

will ya?
Till I get my cash?

( Crowd agreeing )

Hey, whoa,
wait a minute, boys.

Don't crowd me.

I'm forming
a big organization,

and you're all welcome
as soon as things get right.

( Men talk at once )

Yeah, and when it is,

we'll be on hand
to pick the plum.

Providing that Billy Carson
don't upset the apple cart.

Don't worry,
he won't.

( Men talk at once )

Listen, listen!

I gotta pick up some grub

and get back to my diggings.

Why don't you fellas
leave me alone for a while?

( All talk at once )

Ahem. Ahem.

Mr. Jones?

Oh, hello, Tom.

Say, you better start
building a bigger bank.

This little thing
ain't gonna hold

all the gold
I'm gonna dig up.

To be sure,
to be sure.

But, confidentially, I could
save you a lot of trouble.

That is, I, uh,

I could let you have
the whole 50,000.

Uh, you mean that I should
shut out all my friends?

Then you and I
could split even.

Nothin' doin'.

There's plenty of room
for everybody,

and I ain't playin'
no favorites.

Just as you say,
but remember--

a banker likes
to make money, too.

Yeah.

Hey, fuzz!

Billy!

Gosh, am I glad
to see you!

Glad to be here.
Almost didn't make it.

Well, come on in.
I got plenty to tell ya.

Well, fuzz, what are you so
all fired in a hurry to see me?

You in trouble again?

Me? No.

I'm in the blue chips
this time. Proper.

You and me is practically
millionaires.

Yeah, what'd you do,

make a strike
of fool's gold?

Ha! I'll show you something
that'll make your mouth water.

Look at that.

See if you call it
fool's gold.

That's the real McCoy, fuzz.
Where'd you get it?

I can't tell you that.

But, uh, where it came from,
there's a heap of it

big enough to build
a state with it.

That's interesting, fuzz.

Now, how do I fit
into the picture?

Well, I find this claim,
but the fella who owns it--

so, it's not yours, then?

Uh, not yet,
but it's gonna be.

See, he don't know
there's gold
all over the place.

Blind, huh?

Oh, of course not.

He just don't know
what I know.

So I'm gonna buy it
for $50,000.

$50,000?

And he doesn't know
what he has? Ha.

Don't make me laugh,
fuzzy.

Oh, he's just sentimental.

Besides that, he's a nut.

Well, you can
include me out.

I haven't got $50,000

to be buying goldmines
from crazy people.

You don't have
to have.

All you gotta do
is help me organize

the fuzzy q. Jones company,
and you're in.

I'm in?

And where you gonna get
your money?

Everybody in showdown flats
is willing to back me,

including Tom Wilson
at the bank.

Have they seen
the property?

Not a one,

but they just
believe in me.

Believe in you?
Why?

Uh, to tell you the truth,

I-I hate to admit it,
Billy--

of course,
you know I'm modest--

but all of a sudden,
I suddenly became psychic.

You know, that's when
you can see into the future.

Tell me about this--
this gift of yours, fuzzy.

Go ahead.

Well...
About a month ago,

this thing sneaks up on me.

I begin to hear voices.

Hear voices? Where?

In the air, in my head,
everywhere.

Standing pine told me where
I can find this big claim.

"Standing pine"?

Who's "standing pine"?

He's my Indian guide.
He-he's a spirit.

Spirit?!

Fuzz, you better keep
that cork in the bottle.

Those spirits are gonna
get you into trouble.

Oh, you old hypocrite!

I can't help it
if I'm the seventh son

of the seventh son
of the seventh son.

That's a lot
of sevenths, fuzz.

I should've known better
than to send for you.

Now, now,
keep your shirt on.

I'm gonna get you
out of this mess.

I ain't in no mess!

Whether you are or not,
tell me the whole story

or I'm gonna walk
right out of here.

I can't. I promised.

Promised who?

Standing pine.

So you're not
gonna tell me, huh?

Positively no.

Well, I'm gonna go,
fuzz.

When that lynching party gets
ready to singe those whiskers,

you can call for me.

Aw, gosh.

Oh, well.

They laughed
at Columbus, too.

Nobody laugh at you.

You plenty smart fellow.

Go get money quick,

but don't tell nothing
to Billy Carson.

He gum things up
bad for you.

You doggone right
I won't tell him, standing pine,

and thanks for the tip.

Hey, Billy!
Billy Carson!

Billy, you old rascal,
how are ya?

Tip-top, Mr. Reed.
I'm glad to see you again.

What are you doing
in showdown flats?

Oh, just sorta
nosin' around.

Oh, Billy,
this is kitty.

You remember her,
don't ya?

Kitty? Why, sure!

Miss Reed,
last time I saw you,

you were knee-high
to a prairie dog.

Billy used to ramrod
the old circle "g" for me.

I've heard dad speak
a lot about you.

Yeah? Good or bad?

Well, your ears
didn't burn.

Ah, just think. I used
to bounce you on my knee.

Hold still a while,
will you, Billy?

I gotta pick up
some shotgun shells.

Coyotes gettin'
pretty bad lately.

There are always coyotes
to smoke out, Mr. Reed.

Yeah. I'll be right back.

Your dad sure looks fine.

Been doing pretty well
for himself?

Yes, with
the ranching business,

but...

Something
bothering you?

Well...yes and no.

Maybe I shouldn't
say this, but...

But what?

Well, dad's trying
to mortgage

part of the acreage.

Does he...
Does he need the money?

No.

That doesn't make sense.

I know it doesn't,

but dad won't listen
to anybody

except a man
named fuzzy q. Jones.

Fuzzy Jones?

Oh, now I understand.
The goldmine in the sky.

You don't mean to tell me
he's gonna invest in that?

He's not
the only one.

Everyone in town
seems to be

walking around
with their eyes closed.

There's something wrong.
I just know it.

I think that way myself,

but I can't--
I can't figure it out.

The whole trouble is

fuzzy has foretold and predicted
some very wonderful things.

He told Luke mcgovern
where to find a pocket of gold.

He even told dad to ship
his cattle to dodge city

for a better price.

Well, that could've been
a coincidence.

Got to get back
to the spread, Billy.

Ride out for supper
some time.

Welcome anytime.

Maybe I'll do that,
Mr. Reed.

I could help you hunt down
some of those coyotes.

Sure. Glad to have you.

Bye.
Bye.

Hey, Billy.

Wait a minute.
I wanna talk to ya.

What about?
I'm busy.

Oh, I been figurin'
things out,

and we been pals too long
to fight over anything.

Aw, that's great,
fuzzy.

I knew you weren't
as stupid as you pretended.

Now, tell me all about
this mining property.

Where is it?
Tell me all about it.

I hadn't ought to,
but, uh--

standing pine:
You plenty smart.

Go get money quick,

but don't tell Billy Carson.
He gum things up bad for you.

Nope. I can't do it,
Billy.

You just gotta have faith
in me, like everybody else.

Oh, fuzzy, are you
absolutely loco?

No, I, uh--

hey, wait a minute.
I'm psychic.

I-i-I'll prove it
to you.

Uh, hey, mister,
come here.

Now, I predicted this.

I didn't mean to,
honest, but I did.

I told you you was gonna
break your arm, didn't I?

Well, tell him about it.

Yes, you did,
you little squirt,

and the next time you start
fooling around with my future,

I'm gonna take--
I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to,
but I can't help it.

Haven't I seen you
someplace before?

I don't think so.
I'm from Texas myself.

Uh, tell me, stranger,

is this all
he says it is?

Well, sure it is.
Here's the proof.

I broke my arm once
myself.

Pain you very much?

Sure. It's pretty sore.
Hurts like the dickens.

Now, I, uh...

I don't usually carry
my sling so low.

I carry it up
a little higher.

You see, it makes it--

you didn't break your arm.
You're just fooling.

Gosh, I never knew
a fella with a busted arm

could fight like that.

Get smart, fuzz.
His arm's not broken.

I sprained it pretty bad,
didn't I?

Why'd you pretend
it was busted?

Because fuzzy predicted it?

Well, he said I was gonna
break my arm, and I sprained it.

That's close enough,
isn't it?

You see there, Billy?
I'm right.

Fuzz, I'd like
to talk to you alone.

Nothin' doin'. I ain't
answerin' no questions.

All right,
suit yourself.

Hey, uh, Mr. Finner?

I hope you ain't
mad at me.

No, I ain't mad at you...

But I'll get him.

Uh, then you will
sell me your claim?

Sure, if you get
the $50,000, and soon.

Well, mister,
I'm gonna predict

that you get $50,000
all of a sudden.

That's just the kind
of a prediction I like, pal.

Hello, miss kitty.

Ha! You got yourself
loaded down.

Let me help you.

Been shopping?
Quite.

Actually, I'm waiting
for dad.

He's finishing his business
with Mr. Wilson.

Oh, you mean
about getting his loan.

Yes, and i'm
so terribly worried.

I know he's gonna
turn it over to fuzzy Jones.

I better have
a talk to him.

I wish you would.

Oh, here he comes now.

He's awful ornery, though.

Howdy, Billy.

Hiya, Mr. Reed.

I--i hope you don't mind
my butting in,

but I don't think I'd turn
any money over to fuzzy.

Why?

I don't know for sure,

but I have an idea
somebody's dealing

from the bottom
of the deck.

Yeah?
What proof you got?

I don't know.

I saw nord finner talking to
a couple of hoodlums

I wouldn't trust as far
as I could throw my horse.

What's nord finner
got to do with it?

Well, maybe nothing,

but he was pretending
he had a broken arm

to make fuzzy's predictions
look good.

You mean to say he didn't
really break his arm?

Nah, not at all.
He was faking.

Huh. That's something
to think about.

Think I'll drive out
and see fuzzy this afternoon.

Fine. Bye, Mr. Reed.
Bye.

Bye, kitty.

Bye, Billy.

Giddyap.

Look.

Wait a minute.

You stay here.

Fuzzy: Standing pine?

Have you a message
for me today?

Answer me, standing pine.

I am here.
Today is your lucky day.

You collect all money
from people.

Give to man

from mountain of gold.

Hurry up everything.

Hold it, you.

Now, you keep quiet,
turn around,

and start walking.

What's the meaning
of this?

You found out
a little too much.

Now get on your horse
and head for town.

Get moving.

He gets to showdown flats
ahead of US,

he'll blow everything
right up in our face.

Who says he's gonna
get to showdown flats?

You know what to do.

Yeah.

Get!

( Gunshot )

All right,
up on your feet.

Hey, what's
the big idea?

Dayton,
why'd you kill Reed?

I don't know
what you mean.

You know what I mean.

And you might tell me what
this game is with fuzzy Jones.

I never heard of him.

You better start hearing
right now.

All right, take it easy.
I'll talk.

Better make it straight.
Talk fast.

We rigged up a little trick
in fuzzy's storeroom

to make him think
he was psychic.

What does Emery and finner
got to do with it?

I ain't sayin'.

Well, I'll find out myself.
Come on.

You ain't takin' me in
for no killin'.

No, not yet.
Come on.

You see, Joe,
I just wanna make sure

you don't share our secret
with anybody.

I'll be back later
for you.

You won't get away
with this.

No? You're here,
aren't you?

Say, partner,

you wouldn't know where
Mr. Wilson was at, would you?

I sure would.
You wanna know?

Yeah. Yeah,
if you don't mind.

Tom Wilson's where I'd be now
if I wasn't broke.

Where's that?

Wherever everybody else is
that's got cash money.

At fuzzy Jones'?

That's right.

They're fixin' the deal
right now, I reckon.

Much obliged.

Sure.

Man: One, two,
three thousand.

That's right,
Mr. Black.

Here you are,
4,800, Mr. Jones.

Let's see now, fuzzy,
that's exactly 40,000.

Henry Reed ain't
shown up, yet.

I got him down
for 10,000.

If he wants to pull out,
I'll take his share.

I'll remember that,
Mr. Wilson.

( Men talking at once )

Well, fellas,

as soon as everything
is signed and sealed,

you'll really
see something.

That's right, fuzzy!

( Men talk at once )

All right,
do your stuff.

Why don't we just
take it from him?

Shut up.
He'll take the rap, not US.

Paleface.

This is standing pine.

You know what to do
with cash?

Gee whillikers, chief,
uh...

Uh, how did you know
I got the money so soon?

Me see all,
know all.

You be smart.
You do what I say.

Oh, sure, sure.
I'll do just as you said.

Trance all over.
That is all.

I'll meet you
at the horses.

Right.

( Knock on door )

Uh, come in.

Oh, it's you.

I didn't expect you
so soon.

Well, I didn't expect
to come here, either,

but something told me
I should.

Uh, was it a voice?

Why, yes,
I guess it was.

Did he say
anything else?

Well, no.
No, nothing.

Well, that's good.
Huh?

I mean, uh,
how are ya?

I'm in a mighty fine mood
to sell my property.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't go through with it.

I thought you
were Henry Reed.

What do you mean?

Well, uh,
you said 50,000,

and I've only got 40.

Now listen, partner,

I'm gonna do
the right thing by ya.

I'll take the 40,000,
and we'll call it a deal.

You--you mean it?

You give me the money,
and I'll give you the deed.

It's all right here.
I'll count it for you.

Never mind.
I trust you.

Here's your deed,
all sealed and signed.

Gee, whiz.
Thanks, mister.

So long, partner.
I'll be seeing ya.

Hey, uh,
standing pine?

Standing pine!

Everything worked out
just like you said.

From now on,
the fuzzy q. Jones company

owns stone mountain.

Hey, how's this look
to ya?

It's in the bag.

All right,
let's get out of here.

Hey, look!
Who's that?

It looks like
the sheriff to me.

Well, come on!

Howdy, fuzzy.

Well, sheriff, can't make
any predictions today.

Think fast, fuzzy.

This is my savings,

and I wanna get in
on your proposition.

Sheriff! Sheriff!

What was that?

I didn't hear nothin'.

Sheriff!

In here!

There it is again.

I still don't hear it.

Say,
one of US is crazy.

Heh heh.
Must be you, sheriff.

In the storeroom!

Sheriff: What happened?
Who tied you up?

One of fuzzy's spirits.

Oh, they couldn't
have done it.

No? Look up there.
That's how they worked it.

One of the gang
disguised their voice,

and you fell for it.

Holy cow. That's it.
Was I stupid!

Now are you convinced
you've been bamboozled?

You mean the gold deal
was a fake?

Why, certainly.

But I got the deed.

It's not worth
the paper it's written on.

No? Hey, that fella's got
all our money--$40,000!

It's gonna be tough for you
unless you make good.

How long's he been gone?

Only a few minutes.

What are we
waiting for?

I gotta get that money
or they'll string my neck!

I hope when they find
that Billy Carson,

he's starved to death.

You sure tied him up
for keeps, nord.

I'm sort of worried
about Joe Dayton.

Now, look, we don't
meet up with him,

we'll split the money.

No one seems
to be trailing US.

Guess we can take it
easy from now on.
Sure.

We'll be across the state line
in no time now.

Hey, look!

Ain't that
Joe Dayton's horse?

Yeah.

I don't like
the looks of this.

Come on.

Looks like he left
in a hurry.

It sure does.

Hey, there!

Sounds like Joe!

Yeah... go ahead
and answer him.

Hey, Joe!
Where are ya?

Yeah, over here!

Come on,
get me out of this.

I'm glad
you fellas showed up.

I was beginning
to give up hope.

How'd you get
in this jam?

Billy Carson grabbed me
after I knocked off Reed.

Said he'd be back
after me later.

Well, he won't
be back.

We took care of him
and got the money, too.

Just the same,
I'd feel better

if we had more miles
between US. Let's go!

They haven't been gone long,
I can tell you that.

They're probably headed
through sawtooth canyon.

Fuzzy: Maybe we can
head 'em off.
I know a shortcut.

( Gunshots )

( Gunshot )

( Gunshot )

( Gunshots continue )

( Gunshots continue )

Ralph. Ralph!

You hold 'em off
while I get away.

I'll meet you
at the shack.

All right,
go on ahead.

( Gunshots continue )

Hey...

So you tried to outsmart
fuzzy q. Jones, huh?

Sellin' a lot
of worthless property.

What are you
talking about?

It was all done
according to law.

You got a deed,
I got the money.

Now get up!

I think there's
a lot of townspeople

that wanna talk
to you.

Now get on
that horse of yours.

You better give up, Emery.
Come out with your hands up.

You want me,
come and get me!

Keep him busy,
sheriff.

Pull up.

Unload.

Get over there.

Nice work,
fuzzy.

Fuzzy q. Jones
always gets his man.

Sheriff, better pick
Dayton up.

All right, Emery.
You two, on your horses.

That's fuzzy,
all right.

Looks like they got
some prisoners.

There's been trouble
of some kind.

Maybe they tried
to hijack our gold.

Sheriff: Lock 'em up,
Charlie.

All: What happened?

( Men talking at once )

Well, wait a minute, boys.
Everything is all right.

That's right,
we knew we could
trust you.

Now, when can we see
the property?

Well, uh, i-i..

Oh, shucks.
You tell 'em, Billy.

Well, gentlemen,
you and fuzzy

are victims
of a swindle.

There isn't any gold
in stone mountain.

( All shouting at once )

Now, wait a minute!
Wait a minute!

Don't get excited!

Fuzzy said everything
was all right, and it is.

Here's your money--
every cent of it.

Man: What about the fortune
we're supposed to make?

Man #2: What about
our profit?

Just a minute, gentlemen.

You oughtta be glad
to get your money back.

Put it in my bank,
and it'll always be safe.

Man: That's right.
We didn't lose nothin' anyway.

I think we owe fuzzy
a vote of thanks.

( Crowd murmurs )

Billy: I'm not so sure
about that, Mr. Wilson.

Sheriff, what do you propose
to do with this hombre here?

He started all this trouble.

Turn him loose.
He's a friend
of yours, ain't he?

I never saw him
before this mess in my life.

Hey, now, Billy!

You--you can't pull that
on me.

That's the truth, sheriff.

Well, I guess I'll
turn him loose anyway.

Isn't there a law
in this state against, uh...

Fortune-telling?

Come to think of it,
there is.

Uh, that'll get you
about 30 days.

Oh, holy cow!
Y-You...

You can't do this
to me!

Pardon me,
gentlemen.

Where can I find
Mr. Wilson?

I'm Mr. Wilson.

My name is Graham. I represent
the railroad company.

Our engineers
have made a survey,

and I'm here to arrange
for a roadbed ballast.

To make it brief, I'd like
to purchase stone mountain

from whoever owns it,

and I'm willing to go
as high as 150,000 bucks.

( Yells )

I'm psychic! I'm psychic!
Ah!!!

Uh, hey, fuzzy!

Fuzzy, where you going?

To have another peek
in that crystal ball!

( Everyone laughs )
