 It's the day of a great event on Red Horse Ranch. Idaho has driven the buckboard to town and will soon return proudly bearing with him Rose Carter, daughter of Sam Carter, owner of the Red Horse Ranch. Rose has been attending school in the east and the whole outfit has laid off work today and we're all gathered in front of the old ranch house prepared to welcome Rose home with their best brand of music. You've rolled some real singing when she gets here. Say, let's sing one we can all join in on. You all remember New River Train? Mr. Carter, come on out and sit on the veranda with us. Well, boys, I see you're all slicked up in the waiting. Oh, we are. Tenderfoot's been shining his boots since four o'clock this morning. Shining of nothing. I was trying to get the grease out of the inside. Now, who in Tarnation has been playing tricks on Tenderfoot again? Well, if a man can't stand a little joke and he's got no reason to want to learn to be a cowboy. Oh, I didn't mind it much, Mr. Carter. Rose ought to be here by now, hasn't she? Yes, and not a bit of food ready. Has anyone seen Cookie around here? Not that I know of. That fellow showed the laziest man I ever saw. Yeah, I don't know why we ever kept him. Well, you go on to your singing, I'll see if I can find him. I'll see he works his head off. The show looks bad for Cookie now. Well, come on, boys, let's hear that song. Montana at Squeeze Box strapped on your back, and let's go. Darling, you can't love at once. Darling, you can't love at once. You can't love at once and have any fun, oh darling. You can't love at once. Riding on that NU River train, riding on that NU River train. This is what she said, said that rather see you dead than riding on that NU River train. Oh Darling, you can't love to think it off. Oh Darling, you can't love to what a boy. Oh, you can't love to and still be too. Oh Darling, you can't love to ride on that new River train. This is what she said and said, I'd rather see you dead than riding on that new river train. Arling Day, you ain't killed, please train. Arling Day, you ain't killed, please train. What are you talking about, boy? Yeah, ain't killed, please train. And they'll stay up, leave me, oh, Arling Day, you ain't killed, please train. Riding on that new river train. This is what she said and said, I'd rather see you dead than riding on that new river train. Darling, you can't love four! Why not? Oh darling, you can't love four! Yes, I can. You can't love four and love many more. Darling, you can't love four! Riding on that new river train. This is what you said, said a dread i see it dead, dead and bright and on that new river train. Darling you care the fire. And you care the fire and still stay alive. Oh darling, you care the flowers. It sounds just like old times. I believe I will sit down out here with you boys. We're glad to have you, Mr. Carter. It's going to mean a lot to have Rose back with us. Yes. Well, Texas, as long as we're just waiting, would you mind singing a song for me? Why, not at all, Mr. Carter. What would you like to hear? Well, most of all, a yodel, Texas. All right. There was only eight months ago that she went away. Yes, I know, but I wonder if it's going to be the same till we're after being back east, lulling their ways and all that. Well, you needn't worry about that, Mr. Carter. Rose loves this branch. Once she gets out of here, she'll never want to leave it again. You mark my word. She'll never want to leave. Well, I hope she never has to. I can see you've been worrying again, Mr. Carter, but I'm sure things are going to turn out all right. They just can't come out here and take this branch away from you. Well, I hope you're right, Alabama. Coming down the road there? There's something stirring up some dust down there. I can't tell till they come up over the rides. Now listen, boys, if it is them, remember, when they drive in, we want to be singing for all we want. I suppose you'd like to hear us sing best. Well, a favorite is Pride of the Prairie. Yeah, it's them all right. It's Rose and I do. That's right. What is that, Rose? Same, isn't it? All the boys are here to meet me, aren't they? Aren't you glad I'm home? This ain't a little gal that went away. Oh, what do you mean, Alabama? Oh, why? Why, I can't believe it. Why, Rose, your plum grown up. But gosh, you're just a little toe-headed kid when you left us. And now... Come on, boys, talk to me. Do something. Oh, I'm never going to leave the Red Horse Ranch again. Well, that's a promise, Rose. I mean, Miss Carter. Hello, Miss Rose. Hello, Tenderford. Gosh, Rose, you're bigger than skinned horses. Don't you know how to talk to a lady? I'm sorry, Miss Rose. I feel at home now. Arizona, you old deer, you know I haven't changed, don't you? Well, what did I say anyhow? We've got your pony all curried and ready to ride. You ought to see that horse that I'm breaking the road. The biggest shindig this range ever saw. Say, things you are looking up around here. Say, will I show you that road? Yes, Rose. And your old dad's been powerful lonesome without his little sunshine girl. But come, let you and me go into the house. Oh, stay here, boys. We'd best leave him alone for a while. Sure, that's right. Gosh, I never saw old Dad Carter broke up in my life. Rose is everything he has in the world now. It'll kill him if he'd have to give up this ranch and take Rose away. I tell you, boys, we've got to do something about it. Rose is home. But what can Alabama and the boys do to help Sam Carter save the Red Horse Ranch? Perhaps he'll soon think of a plan.
