Here, unbutton that shirt.

You let me go over there looking like

a hayseed to meet the most beaut-

Not that I care how I look,

but out of respect for her.

I'm sure she'll understand, sir.

You didn't even tell me she

had blue eyes. And deep blue eyes at that.!

- dd

- You know, Dad didn't think

I should come, even for a visit.

- But I'm here.

- You might find it a little rugged.

- You know, I've been wondering.

- What?

Well, whatever made a man like you

take a job like this?

There are times when it's rather humdrum.

But right now, you're here.

And I'm going to change things.

Inspector Montague, we're going

to give a dance on Wednesday night.

- A real one. Dress uniform and frills.

- A dance?

- Well, you do dance, don't you?

- Well, I- Oh, yes. Yes, of course, thank you.

Splendid. And being the only woman

in the vicinity, I'm bound to be popular.

Whoa!

- Hello, Chambers.

- Hello, sir.

- Hello, Inspector.

- What's the trouble? Anything wrong?

Indian raid. Four of my workmen wounded.

And they've stolen 20 head of horses.

If we hadn't caught them in time,

they'd have cleaned out the whole corral.

- Inspector, turn out 10 men.

- Yes, sir.

- Mr. Randall, you'll take out the patrol.

- Sir.

- Go to the construction camp

and track down the raiders.

- Yes, sir.

- I'll need your doctor too.

- Then come inside. We'll get him.

- Call the doctor.

- Harlan.!

Why, Vicky, what on earth

are you doing here?

- Came out for a visit.

- Well, why didn't you let me know

you were coming?

I didn't even let Dad

know I was coming, did I?

No. As a matter of fact,

she didn't. Oh, Doctor.

- Yes, sir.

- Go back to camp with Mr. Chambers.

- You're needed there.

- I'll get my kit, sir.

- Mr. Churchill, check the guard.

Prepare for any emergency.

- Yes, sir.

- You may be able to assist him, Mr. Williams?

- Yes, sir.

- Good night, Miss Standing.

- Good night. Anything serious, Dad?

- Good night.

-Just a little Indian trouble at my camp.

- Nothing for you to worry about.

- It's hardly the best time...

for you to have come out here, but I can't

tell you how pleased I am to see you.

Don't tell me I leave you speechless, Harlan.

You always did. Superintendent,

why didn't you give me notice?

I'd have met her at Winnipeg

and brought her out here on a special.

You didn't give

the Canadian Pacific a chance.

We'll see what can be done

about that in the future.

- You bet we will.

- The patrol's ready, Mr. Chambers.

Thank you. I'll be back for a real visit as soon

we've settled with these horse thieves.

- Good night.

- Good night and good luck.

Thanks. We need it.

Thank you, Superintendent.

- Not at all. Good night.
