 Life on the Red Horse Ranch. When Alabama returned to the Red Horse Ranch after he stripped to Danville, Dad Carter was all the more sure that Steve Bradford's story was true. But it told Carter that Alabama was in a saloon drunk the night the rustlers made away with the Red Horse herd. There was but one thing left for Alabama and the boys to do and that was to ride out and find the rustlers and bring the herd of Red Horse cattle back to the ranch. They haven't yet returned as we join the folks who remain at the ranch house. Mr. Carter, he's practically sadder. Get it done right now. You better not waste another minute. Yes, Mr. Carter. But in the blackest saddle, you better get Chuck ready a little early. Hear me? Yes, sir. Well, I said listen to my good girl. Saddle blackie? I'm just practically getting ready to start. Did you hear me tell you to get Chuck ready a little early? Yeah, I see. There's the boys coming home. Go on now. Oh, hello. Come on, Cookie. Yeah. Rose. Yes, Dad. Here I am. Still hopeful that the boys will be back, don't you? Come on, daughter. It's no use. But, Dad, I can't believe that. It just can't end this way. They've got to come back. Well, we might as well have faced the facts, Rose. If Alabama and the boys did meet up with the cattle thieves, there was only one thing that was bound to follow a gun battle. I know. But they might have won out. Yes, they might have won out. They all may be fighting for me and for my herd. I didn't want them to go. But, Dad, it's Alabama that worries me. I just can't believe that. And, of course, Bradford warned us, Rose, that we might be disappointed. Why? Well, there was Alabama and Danville drunk when everything I had depended on his being here at the Red Horse protecting that herd. Dad, I feel almost ashamed of myself for the way I acted toward Alabama when he got back. You did right, Rose. He was gone all night, wasn't he? Oh, I know. He showed up here the next day showing the effects of drinking. Neither he nor Tenderford denied that he was in the Danville saloon. Bradford is right. But, Dad, you just can't say that Alabama's not loyal to you. Well, even after you told him to leave, he went ahead and he's risking his life now to prove that he wants to fight for you. Rose, that's nothing that I... that would mean more to me than to feel a way that you do about Alabama. And, Dad, all the boys stood by him. Oh, oh, Dad, there's Steve. I'm so glad he came over. Hello, Steve. Well, hello, Rose. Well, hello, Miss Crutter. Well, have you heard anything from Alabama and the boys? No, Steve. And we're nearly crazy with worry. Oh, it seems so terrible to just sit here and not do anything about it. Well, those rustlers could have got a long ways away with those cattle by this time. I'm afraid to think what might have happened if that had been a gun battle. Well, Mr. Carter, I just thought I'd come over and show you I'm still anxious to help you. There's still a chance for us to make a deal. You mean you're still willing to take over the Red Horse Ranch? Yes, exactly. Some folks might think it was bad business, but, well, there's nothing I wouldn't do for a good friend like you, Mr. Carter. Oh, Dad, I guess there's nothing I can do out here. I think I'll go in and see how Cookie's coming along with supper. All right, Rose. Now, Bradford, I believe I'm ready to talk business. Cookie, Dad's expecting you to have supper ready before long. Yes, I'm just practically ready right now. Oh, I don't suppose there's any hurry with just us. Now, you listen here, Miss Rose. They's all coming back. We'd missed Alabama ridein' after them sneakin' cattle thieves who you'll get them. Oh, I hope you're right, Cookie. Oh, that's pretty. Go ahead and play it, Cookie. Yes, Miss, oh, you slay down doggie. And as long... Go to town, Rose. Oh, my Dad, we can't go to town. Why, what if the boys come? No need of expecting them any longer, Rose. We're driving to town and settle up this deal with Bradford right now. Oh, Dad, let's wait just a little longer. Oh, it seems so terrible to leave the ranch now. I know, Rose. It's hard for me, too. Oh, but Dad, what would we do? Oh, why, this has been my home all my life. I know, I know. I wouldn't have had this happen to you for anything in the world. Oh, Mr. Carter, I don't think you'll have to worry about, Rose. I'll take care of her. All right, Dad. I'll go and get my hat and be with you in a minute. I'll go around and hitch up the buckboard and you'll have to excuse us, Steve. This has been a hard fight. Yes, I know, Mr. Carter. You've had a lot of tough breaks. Well, I'll get the buckboard hitched up. Now, there, there. Now, don't cry, Rose. I want you to know that this is going to be my home as long as you live. You'll have it. Oh, Steve. It just doesn't seem possible. I thought sure all of them would bring them back. Why, why, I wonder. Why, what is that rumbling? Why, why, I hear it, too. Oh, Steve, do you, do you suppose? Steve, where are you going? Rose, Rose! Dad, come here. Dad, what is it, what is it? Look, look down there. The host cat will haunt you. Oh, Dad. I know that Wyoming will be your new home. Here I spy. How puncture a ride in the long. The disperse was in England. And as he approached me, he was singing his song. Kid I. I. O. Get long, little piece. It's your misfortune and none of my own. Kid I. I. O. Get long, little piece. You know that why we mark them and brand them and bob off their tails. We round up our horses, we up the chuck wagon, and then throw the donkeys out on to the train. Kid I. I. O. Get long, little piece. It's your misfortune and none of my own. Kid I. I. O. Get long, little piece. You know that Wyoming will be your new home. Be soon for Uncle Sam's engines. Steve, Steve, I hear them cry. Kid long, get long, get long, little piece. It's your misfortune and none. So Alabama and the boys returned with all the original Red Horse herd. Perhaps that will keep Carter from selling to Bradford. Or do you think Steve will find yet another way to keep the upper hand?
