I'd say so. I wish I hadn't forgotten to get old lady Johnson's Sashay stuff. Oh, heck who cares what she smells like Sir make them feel remembered. I'm Jason Joe. I'm glad to make your acquaintance. My name is Cassidy This is my partner California Carlson. Howdy, Mr. Jones. Yeah, where you headed? I thought perhaps Wyoming might get me a shop there That's good country Cheyenne's growing fast. Oh, oh, we're getting some new passengers. Huh? Yeah, yeah, look at them ride. They sure must want to get on this train mighty bad. Yeah, they're switching from their horses Hey, what's the matter? Uh-huh. Oh, uh, nothing Nothing at all. You know those men. Uh, well, no, not exactly. I Jason are you ill? Oh, no, no, sorry. I'll help you pick them up. Oh, no harm done a wrecker Oh There that does it excuse me again. I guess a little nervous and perhaps some air. I'll try the platform Yes, well, well, Kansas look who's on the train. Well, what are you now? How did you know? Kansas just goes to show that there's nothing certain but taxes and death. Hey Jason I bet you never expected this, but let's go out on the platform and have a smoke. You know, I Can't just take him another arm. Let's go California didn't it seem to you that those men were forcing Jason outside? Well, yeah, now that you mention it I oh No, no hoppy Them Omri's ain't gonna like us buttoning and that lean slab of bacon with a soft voice is a killer Or I'm a ballet dancer. I know tied down guns cut away holsters Kansas I wonder if that could be Kansas overall. No, well if it is that's 14 more good reasons Why we are to say right here on our hip pocket or a mighty good one for taking a look out there on the platform Come on hoppy turned if you can't smell trouble quicker than a mountain lion mama with a new letter Shouldn't we kind of knock first the whole stop growling, you know, you wouldn't miss it Jason ain't out here. So I see Strangers, where's the little man Jason Jones? You a friend of his or just Scratching a bump of curiosity for the moment call it curiosity. Where is he? Well, he's not in the car ahead. What would you say Kansas? What would I say? That's funny I'd reckon he's just about being turned away from him now Mary's likely going to a hotter time What Kansas is trying to say is that poor Jason is dead. He's what the hell off the platform You might say that he was pushed off by six little green men Now back to hop along Cassidy and our story six little men who were green on the train from San Francisco a little way from Desert City, Utah hoppy in California see a traveling companion named Jason Jones Taken to the outer platform of their car by two strangers who had just boarded the train from fast horses Investigating hoppy is told that Jason was pushed from the train by six little green men hoppy these umbers are local Green man. I have a hunch one or both of them are murderers as well Forget my remark about the green men. It was a simple accident Jason snumbled back fell and well It's very sad. Yeah sad enough, but hardly the end of it swing is my name. My friend is Kansas overall So now I know there's gonna be more to this. Yeah, see my reputation is growing professional killers get well known fast I'll have to boost my anti-swinger. No, I'd still rather you'd give me another job. You know, I hate killing Plumb ruins my sleeve. Maybe the state will cure you permanently after this. Hey wait. What are you doing? I'm gonna pull the emergency cord so Jason's body can be recovered. I'll pull it hoppy and just stop it Yep, I reckon this gun about the same thing this gun says Kansas drop it or the undertaker gets some more business Great day in the morning. I didn't see you drawing. Well surprise wait wait now Why not leave us out of it? I'll make it a swinger. There's a fact you should know you can't make restitution for murder As sheriff of this county, I want you to understand that this matter will be investigated to the Hilt to the Hilt you understand Sheriff Todd's no man to mince words when actions to be taken, but you got the darn killers are sitting right there Please I am the best judge of that Mr. Swinger seems hardly the type to go around killing people why he's a wealthy man. Yeah, that wouldn't make him innocent Well, how about that Kansas overall? He sure ain't no person. Oh, Pish Posh Pish Posh I say I can't suspicion him of murder just because he's been in a few gunfights You're fat-headed when the old digit you wouldn't suspicion a thief of these hand was in your pocket If I suspicion anyone of being a killer, it's you. Well, what why I order I want you to know that it warms my heart to find that you're a man of Intelligence and integrity and not one to be to be swayed by malicious gossip. I'm way ahead way. Thank you. Mr. Swinger. Thank you. This cast this story about green men and our menacing of the deceased Well, it's obvious that he's making light of a serious matter Well, when I think of poor Jason's accent, I Are we free now certainly mr. Swinger wait a minute sheriff they go now You'll never see him again tut tut tut. Mr. Cassidy. You're throwing stones Mr. Swinger is a reputable importer from San Francisco. So he says I'm sure I can depend on his word to stay in town until my Investigation is completed. My word is my bond sir. You see mr. Cassidy. I see but aren't you gonna search their luggage? I still say they may have stolen something hardly necessary. I believe hardly necessary Kindly allow me to conduct my own business Oh, and you too are also to remain in town. Well, we were on until I say you're free to go Good day gentlemen I've seen hound dogs with colic that had made better lawmen than that talk Poppy, we just can't let them two killers go scot-free I know if we can only prove they had a motive to kill Jason. Couldn't we kind of pick a little fight and uh shoot him? Of course not I wish we knew what swinger meant by that crack about six little green Poppy I've seen white man brown man red man and even a couple of yellow men, but uh Green man. Yeah, they come out of 40 rod bottles along with their pink elephants. Yeah, but swinger was cold sober and besides I Pardon Cassidy, that's right. Mr. Quiet sammler What can I do for you? Swinger rob jason what business is it of your stranger? None Did he you looking for the green man? Maybe You know all everything Too bad You don't waste no words. Do you mister foolish just what's your interest miller? Curious Well, then why say it was too bad. We know the green man Wait a minute. What's the idea? Well, there's a strange genre. He's about as talkative as a tombstone California, can't you make your comparison to a little more cheerful? I get a better idea. Let's forget the whole thing Let milk face chatterbox took all my curiosity away This sasper any sure flat. Ah, maybe it's those whiskers you strain it through. Well, well, well, well, good evening I guess you were wrong about mr. Swinger and mr. Overill Uh, you mean they really didn't crawl out from under a rock. I mean they're still in town Saw them right outside. I'm probably waiting for dark. I'll give you a hunch. They eat breakfast a long way from here That's bad hunch, mr. Cassidy, I reckon I better bore you before you have any more shut up, Kansas Anytime you feel up to a gun hawk. You heard me Kansas leave those guns alone. I heard you But I take your pain out your lip swinger Here deals getting plumb sour. We're back where we started it. Well, that's my problem not yours Sheriff did you keep Jason's bags? Yes in my office, but I haven't examined them yet. You haven't Well, I uh, I wanted to get Jason's address to send my condolences. Why that's very thoughtful of you I'll check them now. No, no, no, no, I mean, uh, well the morning is time enough. Good night. Good night, mr. Swinger My my such a fine man. Yeah Come on, California. I have a feeling the green men are loose again Well, let's find those bags quick green man's got to be in them Look around you if you hadn't taken that doll to be the green man We couldn't have the bags on the frame. Well, how was I to know that Jason would be carrying a blast at doll The same size and shape as the green man and we didn't have time to unwrap the package Hey, can't we strike a man? No, no, no, no, we'll find them in the dark Oh, yeah, they are. Well, let's take them get on out of here then. Ah, don't be a fool Search them here If we take them even that idiot of a sheriff will suspect us. Maybe you will anyway What what what? I'll ask them like it's a mighty dangerous game to play. Cassidy. That's why California's covering you from behind Tell me swinger What are the green man? Well, they're they're just jade figurines. I uh, I want them for my art collection the whole set of sakes That is Try again. Well, it's true. I have three of them Jason had one I wonder does a man named miller have the other two miller I I don't know anyone named miller Well, if he has he'd be next on your list only Oh How's your head now old timer, uh, where is it? Uh, I still got it That's in the same place, but a little dented. I'm afraid sure it's busted wide open Uh, did they get away? I did and that third party who shot out the lights got away with jason's bags I had my hands on him, but lost him in the dark. It was that little pole cat miller What did he do bite your hand? No, it'll be all right. Just a scratch Well, I reckon that one will get his comeuppance The way I see it whoever's got that green man is due to get killed. Well a swinger in kansas. No, that that's true enough Let's hope they don't succeed Well, I just assumed see them shoot each other Uh, what's your fucking round them packages for just checking a hunch I know who has the green man. Yeah, what uh Well, who is the poor critter? Who has it? We do Now back to huff along cassidy and our story six little men who were green After trapping the two men they know to be the killers of jason johns Hoppy and california lose them when an unknown man interferes and steals jason's bags Believed to contain the little green man one of a set of six jade figurines and the motive for jason's murder But later in their hotel room hoppy startles california with the news that they have jason's little green man Hoppy you're kidding. I hope here it is. Take a look a jade figurine like swinger said But what in blazes is the darn thing doing in our packages? Remember when jason stumbled and fell among the packages just after he saw a swinger in kansas board in the train I think he put the green man in with our stuff there and took the doll. I bought for jenkins little girl I guess jason hoped to stall swinger off with it and get his green man back from us later Only he was killed and now we have it. Yeah, but we'll turn it over to the sheriff as soon as he comes He's out chasing swinger in kansas. Yeah, if he catches him, they'll probably talk him out of his gum Uh, what makes this darn thing so valuable anyway, I don't know Let's examine it closer Oh, maybe that's the sheriff now. Yeah, he's come to tell us how nice you think swinger is Come in sheriff Oh, hello back fast. I practically never argue with a cock gun Wise watch the big idea one day green man Give sure now that's uh, non-friendly added to that. Oh, oh, are you cold blood and little? Stupid fools Now I have three green men soon. I'll have six who's You No My oh Oh, no need to make fun of me harpy who's making fun of you. He hit me too Hope uh, your head don't feel like mine if I could just get my hands and that coyote who Go oh, oh, don't do that. Hoppy. I just did didn't what get my hands on him only now He's got holes. Oh, what are you talking about? Open your eyes. We got uh company The dead kind what? Hey, what's going on in here? What was the shooting about? Oh, oh my Is he dead? Well if he isn't he's playing a mighty strange joke Oh the killer made away with the green man. I say more of swingers work He and that ace of spades two shot gunslinger of his No wonder they just rode out of town so fast. My posse's saddling now You want to join it seems your tuna stain sharer Pish posh. I always suspected that pair. You kept it well hidden But we'll join that posse of yours. Good. Good. I'll have the dock come up and take care of the Of him. I I think I'll wait for you outside. All right So That's the story of the green man as far as I know sheriff jason had one swinger three miller two only now Swinger has all six He must be great works of art to be worth all he's done to get them not from the look of the one I saw California can't we go faster? Still too dark to follow the trail hoppy. This side will be up soon Could jade be that expensive. I doubt it. Hey hoppy turn turn here. They pull up a minute pull up Look look at those scrapes there They was riding hard and turned without slowing not hard to figure where they headed those two rocky canyons only which one They're gonna be hard to find Even if we guess the right canyon, we'll lose the trail on the rocks. Oh, no, we won't I know those canyons now They're both dead end They're trapped in one of those canyons, man Henderson come with us. We'll go left mark Take the others up and head up the right canyon Oh mark, don't take any chances shoot to kill Keep an eye on those rocks on your side. I don't like the way they rise above us sure who does This is ambushed country. Have I ever saw ridiculous those two men are fleeing. They don't want battle Kansas overall is no tenderfoot sheriff. He's a gunfighter and a dangerous one Don't underrate him. Oh to that. I say fish posh. Anyhow, there's the end of the canyon up ahead Sure, we took the wrong one Want a bet take cover into the rocks. Oh over there hoppy They quit firing I guess they must be reloading see where's Henderson Now you went down that first volley California wrap your band down around this leg. Will you sure sure Just a crease hoppy. Yeah, but you won't do no dancing for a spell Well, you two are certainly taking all this strangely. Do you realize those men are trying to kill us? Not so tight, California Ah, that's better That'll stop the bleeding. Did you hear me? We're in danger After all Cassidy. I'm sheriff. I'm going to make a deal with those men right this way Open that mouth of yours and I'll stuff it plumb full of knuckles you mealy mouth windbag, California Let's try something while they're reloading see that flat rock behind them. Well sure hoppy. Uh, but why drop some slugs against it I think we can smoke our friends out with ricochets That's that's right Hold it California Toss your guns away and come out hands up and empty they're coming out hoppy Uh-huh. Let me your rifle sheriff minds empty. Yes, thanks Hmm, we better go to them hoppy looks like they're shot up pretty bad Now here's your rifle sheriff. Take a look at Kansas, California. I'll check Swinger kander uh kander hoppy He's cash. Yeah Swinger's only scratch painted I guess Come on swinger wake up Doctor get me a doctor. I'm dying. I will get you a doctor as soon as you talk. Yes. Yes. Tell us about the green men What's their secret? A miller's told them From rich texan who said the set would reveal his greatest wealth When it was put together right he was nutty on the subject. All right go on How did the set become split? Well jason helped well Then stole four of the green men for himself not knowing that they had to be used as a set I stole three from jason but he got away with the other. What was the connection between the three of you? Well miller and I was partners Delton jade jason did odd jobs for us until you all started stealing from each other You killed jason. No, no it was kansas. He hit him Pushed him off the train won't make no difference. You're the one who hired that gunslinger I reckon he shot miller too and where's them six little green ombre Oh, he doesn't have the sick yet california and they had nothing to do with miller's death Except the run from it. Oh, sure sure miller shot his shelf No, he was shot by an opportunist a man who saw a chance to cut in on something big The same man who shot the light out and stole jason's bag from the sheriff's office and this man is The sheriff himself Right sheriff What's that? Oh, this is preposterous idiotic not so idiotic Kansas tipped the deal in the saloon He listened outside the door of your office and heard swinger admit that the green men existed and were valuable So you shot out the light and stole the bags pish posh prove it I grabbed you in the dark scratched my hand on something pinned to your shirt How many men in desert city wear badges? Why you All right So I shot out a lamp and shot miller want proof of that? It's simple No people or what's that prove everything Those shots must have been heard yet before any people could get to our room You were there telling me swinger and kansas had written out of town They couldn't have shot miller and you must have You're guessing entirely too well casety Too bad Everyone was killed in the battle And I'll have all six of the green men That wealth will be mine. Uh, I wouldn't try shooting that rifle I've only shoot three times The first time at you Now back to hop along cassidy Well, hubby, I found the green manger slot. You said three in swingers saddlebags a three in sheriff dodge Good, I've patched up Todd. Maybe next time he'll listen to me about not shooting You mean, you know that during rifle was gonna bust apart I was sure hoping so When I borrowed it from him, I wedged a rock down into the barrel Well, I'll be tea totally flibbery gibbeted Next time tell me will you I was sure that we was done for Let's take a look at those green men I want to see just what they have to say. That's where so much robbery and bloodshed James, if I see anything except these scratches on the bottoms Uh, say maybe those square bottoms fit together like one of them puzzles. Let's try it Yeah The lines are beginning to fit. Uh, is it a treasure map? No, it's just words Trying to faint, but I can read them 100 Thousand Inside turn head. Well, I'll be uh, it's uh, it's in the man after all I'll turn the head of this one and see There it's holler. There's bills inside. Uh, pull them out hobby So this is what men died for. Uh, uh, let me see. Uh, hmm. It's money, ain't it?
