The Texas Rangers Page #4

Synopsis: Jim Hawkins and Wahoo Jones are stagecoach robbers who head to Texas to find Sam McGee, their partner. Once there, low on funds, they join the Texas Rangers, come across Sam, and decide to run their game by sending Sam inside information. Meanwhile, though, in pacifying rebellious Indians, Jim and Wahoo start to take on the code of the Rangers, and the daughter of the Ranger's major sets her sights on Jim. Can there be honor among thieves, or are Jim, Wahoo, and Sam on a collision course? As a lawless frontier becomes a civilized land, which side will the boys chose?

Rules and regulations.

I never had no pocket change

I thought that hardly fair

Way up on the highway

I met a stagecoach there

Peeking!

Hey, you new men,

get your horses.

We're going out.

Who? Me?

Yes, both of you.

Where you going?

We ain't ate yet.

Never mind that.

Mount your horses.

I ain't been here

for five minutes,

and he wants

to go out riding.

We've been riding for days.

Oh, the big mallet head!

Wants to become a Ranger!

You certainly get

some great ideas.

Texas Rangers.

You're still a Iittle punchy

from bouncing around

on those stagecoaches.

Oh, yeah?

Hold it!

The Major figures

that the rustlers

will try to cross the river

between Del Rio on the north

and Eagle Pass on the south.

Johnson.

Yes, boss.

McBride.

Coming.

You'II take the north cut

to Del Rio.

Introduce yourselves

to Marshal Bill Gree.

Adams, we suspect

the Hamblin

Iand-and-cattle company.

Pick up all

the information possible.

Right, captain.

Peters.

Yes, sir.

Lee.

Yeah.

Ditson.

Yeah.

Stake the country

between Comado

and Pinto Creek.

We will, boss.

Yes, sir.

Hawkins and Jones,

you'II patrol the river

from Comado South,

a distance of 20 miles.

Yes, sir.

Rodriguez. Come with me.

Bien, Capitn,

Throw up your hat.

I want to get in

a couple of wing shots.

Throw up your own hat.

I'm not gonna get

sunstroke for you.

I don't know why they sent

you along anyway. I can handle

all them rustlers myself.

Ha! I'II nail

more rustlers than you.

Bet you two bits.

I'II take that bet.

Want to pay me now?

I wouldn't pay you

even if I had two bits.

(SHUSHING)

(MEN SHOUTING)

(CATTLE MOOING)

I'II bet you

if I shot right...

Take it easy.

You want to stampede

them cows?

I was only fooling.

I got a better idea.

I'II circle them and come in

on the other side.

You go down

and head 'em off

at the river.

That ain't

such a good idea.

You're in the back.

I'm down front where

they can shoot at me. Oh, no.

AII right, I'II head 'em off,

and you circle 'em.

AII right.

Wait a minute.

Why should anyone

want to head 'em off?

Them fellows got a right

to make a Iiving, ain't they?

Guess that's right.

My pappy always told me

to Iove your neighbor.

Right now

I'm the friendliest man

in the world.

That's right.

It's a pretty spot,

ain't it?

Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute.

Hurry up!

We haven't got all day!

Yeah!

(BOTH WHOOPING)

Head 'em off there!

What's the matter with...

Sammy!

Jim! Wahoo!

Where have you been?

Why, you old son of a...

Hey, Iet go of me!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Can't you two be glad

to see a guy without

breaking his neck?

No!

Let go of me.

Sam, don't tell me

you're in charge

of those steers.
