Are you ordering me, Pop?
- Will you tell me if I ask you nice?
- It's a secret.
A secret? And you're gonna keep it?
- Something about that policeman of yours.
- Pop.
I have a very derogatory opinion
of policemen, in general.
And Steve, in particular.
You're not gonna marry him, I am.
McBain's daughter,
the wife of a policeman.
McBain's daughter
stuck in a trading post.
What makes McBain's daughter
so wonderful?
McBain.
Oh, Pop, let's not fight.
After today,
there won't be a man who won't envy you.
Steve's up for promotion. The least
they'll do is make him an inspector...
...because he's a hero.
He captured three German aviators.
Oh, there I go again.
I swore I wouldn't tell.
Well, as long as I have,
I might as well tell you the rest.
- What is it?
- They came in a bomber.
Three German aviators in a bomber.
- Not a word, not a word do I believe.
- Oh, it's true, Pop.
They let go their bombs,
but Steve was too fast.
He got the propeller with a bullet.
The plane had to land.
Jumping jeepers.
Then he picked them off
as they came out.
All except the captain, he surrendered.
You're my only child.
I hoped you'd be a boy,
but when you weren't, I didn't mind.
"You'd make a fine girl," I said to myself.
And you could keep house for me
and cook.
But instead you grew up to be a liar.
That's all.
- Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir, but the least I think
Corporal Wagner deserves is a chance.
All right, I'll give him a chance.
He can bring his own prisoner in.
- Sergeant.
- Yes, sir?
Have Hobby send a message
to Nichols and Edwards at Deer Mountain.
Have them go over
They'll find Wagner there and a prisoner,
a German aviator.
Tell them to tell Wagner
to bring his prisoner in immediately.
Yes, sir.
Inspector, Corporal Wagner's
been with the force for five years.
- We're partners, I know him and I trust him.
- Yes, so do I.
But, in a case like this,
I can't take any chances.
He's of German descent,
and we're at war.
They've gone.
Do you suppose his prisoner
pulled a fast one?
No, Wagner can take care of himself.
- I don't know, but let's contact Bear Lake.
- Right.
A radio message from Constable Nichols,
sir, regarding Corporal Wagner.
Notify all detachments
to search for Wagner and his prisoner.
They're both to be brought in.
I'd like to reach
an understanding with you.
I think I understand you.
By now we either trust each other
or we don't.
What choice do I have?
Well, I don't wanna put it on that basis.
What basis do you want to put it on?
Some things you said back there
were pretty interesting.
For instance, what?
For instance, the relationship of Germans
