• John Mulford : Say, how did you come to get tangled up with these rustlers?

  Buck Gordon : Oh, I don't know. Just happened to be ridin' over a hill, saw some boys skin the hide - didn't look right. So I just corraled them and brought them to where I saw your crowd.

  John Mulford : And without firing a shot.

  Rance Radigan : Maybe you're not so good at shootin'.

  Buck Gordon : I don't see any medals hangin' on *you*.

  Buck Gordon : All right, Sheriff. I happened to be ridin' over a hill. These hombres here started someethin' I had to finish. They were so doggone busy buryin' a hide that they didn't see me watchin' 'em. Anybody here recognize this brand?

  John Mulford : Yes, that's my brand! And this hide is from one of my best calves.

  Buck Gordon : Keep out of trouble? I thought you were payin' me to find it!
