Outlaw Country (1949) - full transcript

The Marshal sends Lash and Fuzzy south of the border where McCord runs a smuggling operation. His chief henchman, known as the Frontier Phantom, is Lash's brother and it's not long before the two brothers meet.

Are they.

Remember, aim high,
we want to catch them alive.

Look at this tape.

They saw us and said,
"Let's go get them."

- I did not understand.
- It must be serious.

I've never seen so many tapes.
They are all over the country.

Should we continue to run away from them?

- Let's find out on Fork River.
- Fork River?

It is a ghost town,
no one lives there.

Marshal Clark is waiting for me there.

I think it is very important.



He wouldn't have asked
us to keep it a secret.

I don't care, but I don't like
to be expelled without answering.

It's not fun.

You're right, Fuzzy.

Moving on,
we should reach Fork River tonight.

Yes, with luck.

Fuzzy, I don't like that.

How about covering
your back when I enter?

- Cover your back, why...
- Fuzzy.

Go from the back.

OK.

- Do you have any fire?
- I do not smoke.

- Do you have any fire?
- I think so.

- Where do you think you're going?
- I'm going to go through that door.



Wait, Lash.

So, Mr. Cordova,
what do you think of this man?

Oh damn. He's a great fighter.

Hello, Marshal It is
good to see you again.

I'm a little confused.
What is happening ?

You see, Lash, I told Mr. Cordova

that you were the man
capable of doing this job.

I had to put up
obstacles to prove it.

Where's your partner, Fuzzy Jones?

Hello, Marshal.

Hey... is that one of your obstacles?

I see that you are not at risk.

What impressed me? A cyclone?

Lash, this is Deputy
Marshal Cal Saunders.

Nice to meet you.
Sorry if I was a little brutal.

I'm glad that
you're on our side.

What is all this?
I did not understand.

We are trying to capture
a lot of counterfeiters

who have been operating
on the border for months.

So far, we have been unlucky.

Yes, the marshal is right.

We believe that they captured an
American recorder, Frank Evans.

They may have already killed you.

Do you know where they work from?

Mr. Cordova believes that they are
working in a village across the border.

The place is a refuge for the
renegades of the territory.

It is headed by a
man named Jim McCord.

- You can't do anything?
- Nothing by law.

This land is privately owned.

It is sovereign territory.

Exact...

If Cordova's men go,
they will break the law.

My men would also break the law.

It looks serious to me.

That's why we need you, Lash.

A man who knows how
to make the law reign.

We accept the job.

Do you know who else
could work with this gang?

The only information I have,

comes from an old
research poster

Lash, that must interest you.

That explains why
they were after me.

This gang must have thought
that the ghost was me.

Señor Lash,
this man looks a lot like you.

That is why your identity
must be kept secret.

If they found out that
the ghost was a lawyer,

your life would be in danger.

And if the bands confused you
with the ghost of the border,

you can end up hanged.

I would offer to help my
men, but you hurt them.

Thank you, Marshal,
we will take care of this work on our own.

- Isn't that right, Fuzzy? - Exactly.

Marshal

If it becomes difficult for us,
we will send a smoke signal.

HOW TO HYPNOTIZE PEOPLE
AND BECOME A MAGICIAN

Why don't you let me
hypnotize these men?

I can look at them and say:

"Alakazan, Alakazin, Alakazun."

And there it is.

I don't think we can hypnotize
the border ghost, Fuzzy.

If he looks like you,
you have to look like him.

And if you look like him,
no one will know who's who.

If nobody knows who is who,
who will know who you are?

That's what I asked you.

You read a lot about
hypnosis, Fuzzy.

Laugh all you want

But someday when I'm
Fuzzy, the wizard

You will no longer be able to laugh.

You know, Lash,

I don't know if I like
this mission or not.

- She gives me the creeps.
- What do you mean ?

I wonder if Ghost of the
Frontier may not be a family.

You know, you have a brother around here
that you haven't seen in a long time.

Yes I know.

We have a job to do and
we better get going.

I can't wait to find this
ghost from the frontier.

Ghost.

I just saw the chef.
He wants to see you, it's important.

Ok, Turk. Put it in the shed.

See you later.

OK ! Go on and on.

Remember that the money
goes to Lost Canyon.

Take no risk.

- How much are you sending this time?
- $ 20,000 for Curly Jinx.

He will cross the border.

Someday your luck will run
out, McCord.

And nobody will care.

I am paying you to prevent
this from happening, Phantom.

Do not forget.

The guys told me that
you wanted to talk to me.

I was told that a federal officer
is trying to end our case.

He could try to stop this cart.

Better to go with the guys.

You get your
information quickly.

Did you know that Evans escaped
with his daughter this morning?

They will not go far.
All exits are monitored.

I would like you to give it a try.
What do you plan to do with it?

As soon as he finishes burning
the $ 5 bills, he will rest.

Forever.

- And the girl?
- I also have plans for her.

I take two guys to
follow the cart.

If this guard sees
us, he will kill us.

- What are we going to do, dad?
- I don't know, dear.

We won't be back
if I find a way.

I don't care what they do to me,
but if they get their hands on you...

It is not enough for McCord
to force him to manufacture

fake money cards?

Someone comes.

Jane, it was one less.

Dad, even though we cross the passage,
how are we going to get out of here?

I have an agreement with
the wagon guy to take us.

I had some money and I
made a deal with him.

Daddy.

It is not fake money.

But the money I earned
working at the Mint.

They will change their guard in 1
minute, so let's run away.

No wonder they don't
catch these renegades.

It is the most difficult
place I have ever seen.

You're right Fuzzy,
only cavalry would get you out of here.

- How will you get in?
- It's too early to say.

But something will happen
if we continue here.

I bet Professor Hosenfattle
would be able to enter.

- Who is Professor Hosenfattle?
- Didn't I tell you?

This is the man who wrote the
book on magic and hypnotism.

You better not loosen your
saddle, Fuzzy.

I think we're going to
need some magic here.

The magic of the weapon.

Wait, guys.

There is something strange here.

We were following the cart's
tracks and they disappeared.

This cart has no wings.

Let's find.

This cart must be on the corner.

Dad, there he is.

Let's go.
We will be able to escape.

- Did you bring the money? - Yes.

Okay, give it to me.
This place is not comforting.

- It's Evans and his daughter.
- Jeff Thomas helps them escape.

- I see, I have eyes.
- So, what are we waiting for?

If we do, they will go to the
rocks and we will lose them.

We will wait until they hit the road.

Ghost, I think you like this
girl and you want them to escape.

I said we were going to wait
for them to hit the road.

Okay, I was kidding.

OK, let's go.

Remember, without death.

Why can't I get the
saddle off the horse.

Nothing has happened yet.

I can study hypnotism.

Fuzzy, did you hear that?

It looks like we're hunting.

These pictures are coming from the road.

Let's go to the summit,
we can see better from there.

Here they are.

These men must really
want this cart.

There's a girl in this, Fuzzy,
let's try to get over it.

They got the driver.

These men are determined,
let's go through the woods.

Don't ask questions.

They'll be here in a second.

It should explain
better than words.

- We think you were...
- The ghost of the border.

No, it's Lash La Rue.

Federal Marshal of the
Southwest Territory.

And I am your assistant, Fuzzy Q.
Jones.

My father was kidnapped
and kept against his will.

He has nothing to do with this gang.

It is the truth, Monsieur La Rue.

And I am ready to do anything to ensure
that they are brought to justice.

- And rehabilitate my name.
- Then you must be Frank Evans.

That's right.
This is my daughter Jane.

Hey, if the ghost finds out
we’re off the main road,

he and his men will return.

I don't know what to do,
but let's do it fast.

Fuzzy is right.

Follow this trail with your
daughter and don't stop.

I will join you soon

and take you to a friend’s
house, you’ll be safe there.

All right, guys, let's go back.

What are you looking for ?

This man was going to
receive or deliver something.

I think that's it.

What is it ?

Counterfeit tickets.

This is enough evidence to
trap the ghost for life.

They are back !
What do we have to do?

Let's play hide and seek.

This will give Evans and
his daughter time to escape.

They went that way! Let's go.

- They're in the area.
- We will disperse and look for them.

Did you see something?

No, but I will look
at those stones.

They may be hiding there.

Do not move.

Are you looking for me?

Ho, it's you Ghost.
I thought it was the old man.

We had two, more than one.

It's the Phantom.

He must have noticed
something and ran away.

This man is moving fast.

Tie those two up
and watch the cart.

I'm going to join Evans and his
daughter, I'll be back later.

Alakazan.

Alakazan.

Alakazin.

Alakazun.

Than continue.

Wow !

It's not possible. What is it ?

I do not believe.

If Lash was there,
he wouldn't believe it.

You know, I was reading about hypnosis.

How did you get back so fast?

I thought you were going
to get Evans and his...

I didn't leave. I just pretended

Didn't you come out? Because you...

When did you start smoking?

I don't think it's any of your business.
Who are you ?

Who am I ?
You know very well who I am.

What are you doing with these clothes?

You know, Lash,
you look like the Ghost...

You look like him.

You...

- What is your name ?
- They call me Phantom.

The ghost of the border.

Holy Mother.

First you will tell me
what you did to my men.

Then, we will have a nice walk.

The man who lived here was
a friend of mine named Rand.

Sam Rand negotiated with the Indians.

The bandits took over the
territory and forced it out.

You have been very kind to us.

Mr. Evans, do you know
anything that can help us?

Jim McCord leads this band and
commands them with an iron fist.

Virtually anyone with a reward
for their heads passes here.

McCord offers high protection.

He knows that the law
cannot reach him there.

I heard that he was
making fake money.

It is true.

You know, Marshal,
you look a lot like the Frontier Ghost.

Tell me,
is the border ghost in the game?

He is paid as a bodyguard.

There isn't a single guy who
wouldn't kill McCord for two cents.

Mr. Evans,
stay here with your daughter.

There is enough food
for the two of you.

I will find Fuzzy.

We'll be back later.

Fuzzy?

Fuzzy?

Fuzzy where are you?

"Dear Marshal:
When you read this,

your partner Fuzzy will already
be in the thieves' nest.

Take my advice and forget it.
Leave this territory.

I wouldn't want you to end
up with a bullet in the back.

The ghost of the border. "

Hey ? Where are you ?

Evans?

Evans is not here.
I sent him for a walk with his daughter.

Don't draw, Lash. I would hate
to have to kill my own brother.

I heard about your
reputation as a marshal.

I thought it was you
who captured the guys

when one of them
mentioned a whip.

You're still good at it, huh?

You haven't done too badly.

You are the most wanted in the
country since we killed Billy the Kid.

What happened to you ?

The last time you worked
at a bank in Wyoming.

- What are you doing here ?
- I'm looking for you and Jim McCord.

- I was in charge of this case.
- Take my advice, boy.

Get out of here while you can.
McCord is not playful.

Like Uncle Sam,
the law comes west.

It means the end of
men like Jim McCord.

You don't know what you're talking about,
Lash. McCord is very smart for the law.

Sooner or later,
everyone will be caught.

Billy the Kid, Sam Bass, the Daltons.

And one of these days,
the ghost of the border.

What did you say ?

Surrender and you will
have a light sentence.

You can live as a
respectable citizen.

No way, Lash.

Imagine me as a respectable old man!

- That's what the father would have wished.
- And what did he get?

He was shot in the back for
something he hadn't done.

Yesterday we were still
children in Wyoming.

Dad taught us to use a
gun, remember?

Stop preaching.

I went too far.
McCord won't let me stop.

I'm sorry you say that,
you don't give me a choice.

-You are trapped.
- Don't be silly, Lash.

There is no man here who
shoots faster than me.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

- Is this a threat?
- Just a brother's advice.

Well, we'll see.

Okay, Lash, you won.

Here is my hand to prove it.

Daddy, the marshal's horse.

He must be there with the Ghost.

McCord is going to be mad at
me for not bringing you back.

Stay at the ranch,
you will be safe here.

My brother is inside.

When he wakes up,
say that we will meet again.

Let him not try to follow me.

Sam told me that you were back.

Didn't you go with the ghost?

He thought Evans and his daughter
would be back on the trail.

He wanted to face them alone.

He sent us back with
the cart and Jeff.

- What happened to Jeff? - He won't
help Evans and his daughter anymore.

Now he is a client
of the cemetery.

And the bearded old man here?

Buck gave him a mop.

He will not try to escape
after what happened to Jeff.

Either way, it is harmless.

- The old man says he's a hypnotist.
- Hypnotist?

As soon as he finishes
hypnotizing the mop,

tell him to go to the kitchen
to bewitch the potatoes.

The cook needs help.

As soon as the ghost returns with Evans and
his daughter, tell him to come and see me.

He knows where to find me.

Look, I'm going to have fun
with the old bearded man.

Hey you.

You with the mop.

- Are you talking about me?
- Yes, you, come here!

I think I slipped.

You like to play?

I once bet 5 cents
on a ferret race.

In the race there were 4 ferrets.

- I bet on the big ferret and...
- Forget the ferrets.

You have money ?

- Is it enough to play?
- Do you only have that?

I have some small cuts here.

Cut the cards.

I bet 200 dollars.

I have an aces house.

Sorry, I got better.

Square of two!

- Want to play one more?
- With pleasure.

What are you doing ?

I bet everything.

You must be careful,
I have a good hand.

I ride.

- Full of kings.
- I have an aces house.

Wait a minute. It is not enough.

I have a square of two.

Thank you guys.

Do not move.

Bring that money back
before I kill you.

Shooting a man in the back is
bad, put that gun away.

Right now !

You better go do your job...

before you have more problems.

Now, if you want to
practice shooting,

say that to me.

What's the matter, Phantom?
You look different.

The farm.

McCord was looking for you.
He wants to see you when you get back.

If he is looking for trouble,
one day he will find it.

Hey, Ghost.

Thank you for what you did.

Forget the thanks, Fuzzy,
tell me quickly what McCord is.

McCord? It's the one who...

Why do I have to tell you?
You know him better than I do.

Unless it's not...
The Ghost of the Frontier!

That's it... We fought and I won.

So I borrowed your clothes.

- I don't like it, Fuzzy.
- Me neither.

These men suspect me
or are up to something.

They will speak to McCord.
He's the one wearing the jacket.

I'll talk to him.

Keep doing your job.
See you later.

- Where are Evans and his daughter?
- I couldn't find them.

Why didn't you take the guys?

They didn't do well after
the fight with the marshal.

Besides, I wanted them
to bring the cart back.

It wouldn't be good if the law
got these counterfeit bills.

I'm glad to finally hear
someone using their head.

It was well thought out.

My cigars are gone,
give me one of yours, Phantom.

I'm sorry. I do not have anymore.

Nothing more.

Go get some rest before looking
for Evans and his daughter.

I don't want anything to happen to him.

What did I say, boss?
The Phantom is acting strange.

I never saw him without a cigar.

If you say that the Marshal is a
carbon copy of the Phantom, watch out.

We can't let things go wrong.

- What do you want us to do?
- Keep an eye on him.

When he picks up the
girl, follow him.

If he's acting weird, shoot him.

I am concerned about your
brother, Phantom.

If Jim McCord finds out that
he is a Federal Marshal,

anything can happen.

It will be his funeral, not mine.

Keeping myself stuck here doesn't help.

Come on, Evans? Let me go.

I still have time to help you.

I would like to believe
you, Phantom.

I'm afraid your help for your
brother is with a Winchester.

I'm not sure if you're
right, dad.

If he is the man I think he is,

he will not accept that his
brother is killed in cold blood.

Don't forget, Jane.
He works for McCord.

Maybe he had a
reason to do that.

I think he would help your brother.

I thought something was going to
happen, so I followed you.

Thank you, Fuzzy.

This will not cause us any more problems.

- How did you get past the guard?
- It wasn't difficult.

I said I needed to give
him a message from McCord.

And when I was close to
him, I hypnotized him.

- Fuzzy. - Well, it's true.

Of course, I had to convince
him a little bit about it.

And he fell asleep immediately.

What happened to the other guy?

I'm not sure, Fuzzy,
I think he's there.

Here it is.

He leaves again,
he must be reached.

It's too late, Fuzzy.
He's way ahead.

What are we doing ?

Go to the heights and send the dust
signal, the patrol will see.

- We need help. - Is that you ?

I go back to the Thieves' Nest.

I think it will explode
and I want to be there.

Why the hurry, old man?

Hey, it's getting complicated.

The first time,
I thought you were Lash.

When I saw Lash,
I thought it was you.

I just left him and
thought it was him.

Now I don't know who's who.

Are you you or who's who?

- Yes. Where's my brother Lash?
- He returned to the Thieves' Nest.

- I think he's going to be in trouble.
- Does McCord already know who he is?

If he doesn't already know,
he will know when Lash arrives.

Buck and Turk tried to kill
him, but Lash caught Buck.

What happened to Turk?

He escaped and returned
to warn McCord.

I'll send the signal
to ask for help.

Go ahead. And good luck.

Ghost.

I told you to go find
Evans and his daughter.

I thought you sent
Buck and Turk.

You know, someone should teach them
to do better without being seen.

Wait, Turk.

Go to that door, Marshal.

Marshal?
What's going on, McCord?

I understood who you are.

When Turk said he saw you
knock Buck down with a whip,

I started to
understand some things.

Like what ?

Whether you were the Ghost of the
Frontier or a Federal Marshal.

I wouldn't try that.
Look around you.

You are surrounded.

You don't stand a chance, Marshal.

It went too far for
you to intervene.

I waited a long time to have your
brother, the ghost of the border.

Since you're wearing her clothes,
that will be enough for me...

You'll be next, McCord.

Put your hands up.

You are as involved as we
are, Phantom.

Stay online.
I'm taking you to be judged...

If you stop me,
put a rope around your brother's neck.

What do you think of that, Phantom?

Shut up and do what he says!

The cards were
dealt, I bet on Lash.

Now get in line, like he said.

Or I will kill the first one who refuses.

Well, it looks like it's
Marshal Lash La Rue.

Drop that weapon.

You are far from your
territory, Saunders.

This is my territory, Marshal.

I work with Jim McCord
from the beginning.

That's why he was evasive.

You warned him.

You know,
Marshal Clark will be proud of you.

The marshal will not know,
you will not be there to tell him.

You have 3 seconds for your prayers.

Then I will kill you. 1...

two...

Guys, look.

It's Fuzzy sending
the dust signal.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Go!

We have to take down the ghost
before it catches the rest of us.

In the end,
reinforcements can arrive.

Go behind.
you can get it from there.

The marshal's ammunition
must be depleted.

Do you see this log?

Let's knock the door down.

You will be helpless for a
while, Marshal.

Your deputy, Cal
Saunders, is inside.

- Cal Saunders? - Yes.

He worked for McCord.

Well, Lash,
you scared me for a moment.

When I saw your brother on the
floor, I thought it was you.

Take a look at my
brother, see if it's okay.

I will find McCord.

The government is indebted to
you, Mr. Evans, for what you did

Check these counterfeit
notes for recognition.

This caused McCord great problems.

It wouldn't have been so easy
without the Phantom's help.

It was he who organized
our escape in the cart.

and prevented Buck and
Turk from reaching us.

Come on, Marshal.
I can't wait to move on.

The sooner I serve my sentence,
the faster I will leave.

I don't think the judge will
be tough on you, Phantom.

You helped us a
lot in this matter.

Thank you Marshal.

Come on, Jeb.
We are ready to go.

Now, if I say Alakazin,
you're out of a trance.

When I say Alakanzan,
you go in there.

Are you going to sleep. You hear me.

Alakazan.

Alakazan. Alakazin.

Kazun. Kazan.

On here.

You couldn't beat me,
even if you wanted to, go ahead!

Go ahead !

Fuzzy?

How did you do it?

I do not know.

All I said was Alakazin.
