Silver Canyon (1951)

[bunniefuu]

In the year 1861...

the plains and mountains of the West...

... don't seem to be
affected by the Civil w*r,

not yet,
in its first months of battles...

it still felt like a distant echo.

Only a little attention was paid
to the news of the great battles,

... who brought the telegraph,

... which grows in the west
a few kilometers a day.

... these messages
remain on the coast...

... thanks to the young
pilots of Pony Express.

news of victories and defeats...

they spark conversations...

to the heat of the fire in
lonely villages and farms.

Then, with sudden fury,
the West fell victim to the guerrillas.

Lawless gangs destroy
everything in their path,

invading and looting the
warehouses on the border,

They attack federal
fuel cars...

riding under the
flag of pirates,

and under the orders of the famous bandit...

Wade McQuarrie.

Whose name is the meaning of terror.

McQuarrie, a bloody butcher,

that seemed to be
everywhere and nowhere.

a man feared that
revenge so much...

immediately fell on anyone......

that he was suspected of going with him ..

Hold on.

If my men were here, I...

Doc, thanks McQuarrie,

... you hid and healed
two of your wounded men.

I didn't dare expel them,
they were threatening my family...

You lie, you think we wouldn't find out.

Hurry! Go fast!

They will hang Dr. Seddon.

Let's go...

Untie him, Mitchell.

He allied himself with the southern rebels.

Can anyone prove it?

Do not move!

Stay here, Miss. Seddon.

General McClellan was rejected!

The North is in retreat!

They will realize that the
w*r is going to be a long one.

Yes, and I have proof.

It is true that the
feds were defeated.

It's in the headlines.

"Abe Lincoln asks for more volunteers."

Well, this is your chance.

Who wants to fight...

Sergeant Ici will get your
enlistment signatures.

Okay, I have the sheet here.

What about you?
Can't wait to hang up?

I didn't see you sign.

Autry is an army
scout, that's enough.

I can be a scout, Major.

You can put me on the list, sergeant.

Okay, guys, go ahead, Ici.

I want all subscriptions. Let's go...

Gene, you are not going to get rid of me easily.

If you join them, I will too.

Major, wait until you have to sign,

It is worth returning my whip.

Excuse me.

Here, Joe.

You will have to hire another guy.

You're a tough guy, Pat.

There are not many guys who know how to do this.

You don't think I know.

Why do you think I keep
using this rabbit's foot?

I drove...

in the rain and storms...

Down all those rocky mountain roads

I encouraged the horses with this trumpet...

when it was so cold that
the harness is frozen.

I was chased by the Indians,
attacked by bandits,

... and all I have to say is...

any man who wants to
leave this profession...

joining the army is a coward.

Okay, guys, hurry up!

Hurry before the w*r is over.

The major would like to
speak with you, Gene.

Thank you.

Gene, there are many ways
to serve your country,

and some more productive...

... than an entire military company.

Are you talking about escorting stagecoaches?

I wasn't thinking about it.

Surely you must know the region...

where the McQuarrie g*ng operates.

It's great territory, Major.

Maybe, but they are there and
they are stealing our supplies.

At the moment,
these bandits are scattered everywhere,

and the only way to stop
them is to capture McQuarrie.

He has friends.

They'll know what I'm looking for.

I know.

That's why you won't tell
anyone about your mission.

Sorry, Major.

I prefer to participate in battles.

Gene, before deciding,

Let me tell you something,

It is important to die for your country,

But there is a more
important job to serve you.

Well, wait a minute.

Won't the army care if
I keep my rabbit's foot?

You can, if that brings you luck.

Ok, until next time.

You won't need that cloth, Gene.

The army will provide the equipment.

I didn't sign anything.

Yes, the sergeant says that we...

Can repeat?

I am not enlisting.

Do you think I would
sign if I knew?

Too late for that ..

Gene...

See you later.

Gene, uh...

You can't talk like that.

Hey you! Form lines!

Sorry, I changed my mind.

I told you to get in line!

You joined the army
for three years.

But I...

Get away or I'll sh**t you for desertion.

Funny!

Go ahead, march!

You will see. The w*r will be short!

Are you looking for someone?

Not so strong!

Do you want the army to find me?

I see you found a cyclone.

The sergeant said that if I go...

He's going to sh**t me.

Well, I don't want any deserters with me.

Take off this camouflage
before you walk.

Okay, but please,
let me go with you.

I travel alone.

Gene, I don't understand you.

Have we always been friends?

You never let me down
when you were in trouble.

Do not move.

Want to tell me something?

Anything.

The McQuarrie g*ng is preparing
for yet another attack...

A federal supply train.

These cars carried silver secretly...

of the Comstock Lode mines.

Silver that Washington needs a lot.

A small reward for the famous...

and the fearsome guerrilla Wade McQuarrie.

Gentlemen!

In a circle!

They say it's behind that hill.

I hope the sergeant is not there.

Hartley, go out with the silver wagon.

It's the car, I saw it in the city.

Well, Mr. Wyatt?
Do you think you can stop them?

I can do it.

Take two men with
you just in case.

The safe is behind the seat.

I saw him move.

Leave it and help me.

How are we going to do that,
if we can't even move it?

Hang your rope on this branch.

With that weight, the horse will hurt.

It won't be long, let's go!

The army, I don't care.

Come back here!!

Pat, give me the canteen.

McQuarrie... Let's get out of here!

They're gone.

Is the money still here?

Did they take the money?

I think so.

Take good care, it's worth seeing where they went.

The army will return,
they will arrest me for desertion.

How do you expect them to know?

I'm sorry,

I am not a quitter.

I hope you lie as well as I do.

It's just a band...

of thieves and murderers.

I prefer to find Apaches...

on the path of w*r.

Are you with McQuarrie?

Who do I?

I take care of your friend...

I do not wanna hurt you.

Most of our equipment
is destroyed.

They took the money, didn't they?

It's not in the car, I already looked.

We will take this cart to the wounded.

We will need help before we
go after those guerrillas.

We will track them for you, me and my friend.

Are you sure you're
not part of their band?

Of course, I'm sure of that.

Seriously?

Yes, really!

Well, I'm going to have to take your word for it.

Help me to raise it.

in the car, guys.

What is happening?

That's the phrase that woke me up.

I'm afraid donkeys will
fall off the cliff.

Did you meet a pilot on the way?

No, I didn't see anyone.

I'm laughing because I'm
falling asleep in my saddle.

My eyes may be closed,
but my ears are open.

Did you hear the shots?

Very safe.

But I have a rule.

I only deal with my own problems.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

No problem.

He needed a little company.

Forward!

One of these days, maybe.

Go ahead, Ella!

You are as lazy as I am.

Unload the donkey.

There is something to be proud of.

General Lee will thank us.

I hope you remember the
commission I asked you for.

I'm sure it is, Colonel.

I hope it stops bothering us.

Still here.

Walt!

What do you need, Ici?

Should we change the horses?

Do not.

Why aren't you in town?
What will happen to Daddy?

Dell, I'm taking your horse.

I don't know what you've been up
to, but it's easy to guess.

I'm going to have to k*ll you
one of these days, Walt Middler.

If you see someone

tell him that your horse is running away.

What do you want this horse for?

He's hurt.

I wonder who was riding him.

Me.

Well, I doubt that you have
been harmed by your weight ..

We fall.

Get ready!

This is the best.

It won't do any good to continue like this.

How many kilometers is the Gateway?

15 kilometers.

We will be lucky if
we arrive before dark.

What are you doing?

I have no intention of going there.

Will I have to walk?

You understand quickly.

Now the harness ..

My friend, I am afraid we will
hand you over to the wolves.

You will find your way home.

I would also make a very good meal.

I forgot you

I don't think I can walk much.

Wait!

What is happening?

Are you afraid of
being eaten by wolves?

I could get lost.

And yet you don't want to go up to two?

It's ok.

If I were you, I wouldn’t try anymore.

Do not worry I understand.

Leave me there.

It is quiet for a small town.

Most of the soldiers are gone.

Gene, my rabbit's foot
brought me luck again.

I found it on the road.

It can be useful for us.

It is the rope that raised the safe.
There is still the brand.

I thought so too.

We just have to find
the saddle owner.

Poppalardo!

Hi!

You thought he was dead, right?

A long time without seeing you, huh?

I'm going to get off my donkey
and show how to wake up a village.

He's missing a donkey.

I saw them on the bridge.

I'm used to telling
everything I see.

The saddle is gone.

They were stolen from
McQuarrie's friends by Ici.

Your teacher is very thirsty.

I will talk to him about work,

Hey, see if you can
find a hotel room.

I will find a bed with
a large feather bed.

Hello Friend.

Do you know where I can find
the manager of this place?

It's me. Do you want a room?

Yes, but I realize I could...

bring me bad luck.

Oh! How can a room
bring bad luck?

You will know if you find
a corpse in one of them!

Clean sheets, maid service,

... and also wants
a four-leaf clover.

They call themselves "Guerrilleros",

But I would call them bandits!

Assassins, thieves, bandits.

Every time we leave, they attack us...

at this rate, my regiment will be decimated!

How do you expect me to fight McQuarrie?

Bare hands ?!

Take them to the barracks,
we will take care of them.

Goes into!

OK, what happened?

It's about attacking your men, Colonel.

Forward! This is my son Walter.

runs Overland's local
internship office.

I stayed at the end where
the attack took place.

I followed the trail of the bandits.

Walt!

Walt, you can use this.

Hey, does my family bother you?

You can talk, it's my daughter Dell.

- We have already met. - Seriously?

It is not the first time I have been told this.

All the men I see say the same thing.

Okay, Dell, get the hot water.

Now, if you have any ideas, please let us know.

There is nothing concrete,
it is an intuition.

An intuition!

We are talking about w*r and
he is talking about intuitions!

Just a moment.

The colonel had to ask...

What are you doing here?

I travel to buy horses.

But I still couldn't find it.

It seems to me that you have
come to the wrong place.

I'm starting to notice

I think you will come back.

Maybe not.

I don't give up so easily.

We look for horses
that we don't need,

Thinking about it made me
seal it in the wrong place.

However, my story looks good, doesn't it?

Okay, but where are we going now?

On the ranch on the
Pony Express stage...

called a double circle "D".

Double circle "D"!

A simple '' D '' circle
is not enough for you,

You need two of them.

Lucas.

I can't just...

Look!

I am very lucky for them.

I k*lled this rabbit in a cemetery...

on the full moon!

It was supposed to be a full moon.

The Pony Express!

Stop him before he
notifies the army.

Pat!

By horse!

Wyatt!

Look at this!

General Lee denounces the guerrillas.

He asks McQuarrie to find out.

Gentlemen,

This order from General Lee...

... refuses to recognize
me as an officer...

and me, as part of your army.

I wouldn't say...

I am not disappointed.

They called us bandits...

which means greater risks
and more enemies...

but as bandits...

we will continue our operations.

If any of you want to go home,

you must do this now.

It is not good,

for the rest of you,

I promise you the most
daring move we've ever made.

Dangerous? Yes...

But that will make the South succeed...

... of the strength he
may have had for this w*r.

Can I send a telegram to Fort Lawson?

Of course.

In one month, we gained 10 km of wire.

Colonel Mlddler.

Request cavalry troops.

It will be a pleasure.

Considering the damage McQuarrie
has done to this place...

I didn't know the colonel
was giving you a message.

He didn't have to.

You're going to unlucky
us by telling lies.

I have a gift for the colonel,

a new foal.

Next time, I will bring you a nice gift.

Do not bother yourself.

I don't care, your brother is my friend.

Yes I know

You don't seem to buy many horses.

I prefer to be sure before buying.

Yes, me too.

You dug your own grave.

Good thinking.

What did you bring in your packages?

Jack laughs? Why don't you ask him?

It is not necessary, I know. Weapons and ammunition.

This is not a good thing, Walt.

Dad is a soldier, he is responsible.

We are not the first family
to take sides in the w*r.

You and my father believe in one
cause, I believe in another.

But I guarantee I don't deal
with g*ns or ammunition.

I can hardly believe it.

You expected something from
that trader and his donkeys.

Expect that?

Do not know.

I have no idea.

It's cavalry, Gene.

See the brand.

It's the ranch that was attacked!

Let's take a look.

It was time for the troop to stop.

Colonel Middle?

Pass.

Captain Fleming, 17th
Missouri, on special duty.

Nice to meet you, Captain.

This is my daughter, Dell.

Nice to meet you,
it's an unusual name.

I hope he's here to
pick up McQuarrie.

Those are the orders, Colonel,
take him and hang him!

Blen. Let's have a brandy.

I don't know why the Joint
Chiefs of Staff didn't call me.

I was at the fort with Lee.

I know your strategy.

I can predict your every move.

Water, captain?

We are not going to spoil the cognac, Colonel.

Excuse me, Miss. Dell.

Another, double circle "D".

Whoever k*lled the patrolman
stole those horses.

Perhaps he had given them to her before.

We will find out soon. Luckily

Look at this.

I tell you the McQuarrie boys

They broke into that ranch
and stole the horses.

What's that McQuarrie thing?

He said if McQuarrie showed up,

I could steal those horses.

Therefore, we will not have to look for it.

You must be the luckiest
man in the world!

What are you looking at?

This hole next to your heart.

Anyone they hit on that site...

It will be almost two meters below
the ground, counting the roots.

Are they bothering you, sergeant?

These are the men who
sold us the stolen horses.

You finally got them.

Yes.

It's going down! Thank you.

Well, try to see!

Get out of there, you idiot!

Come on, one more!

Another.

Seven years of bad luck.

And this is the time you are
going to spend in prison.

Sergeant!

Gene, we have company.

Calm down, Pat.

Open up, sergeant.

The colonel has some doubts,
so let's ask some questions.

Yes sir!

You said you're an
overland stagecoach driver

But nobody at the base seems to know you

It's normal, my path goes in the opposite direction,

to california

And you say you're
a military scout.

You can try, I think.

Colonel, you don't know about these men.

They have horses marked
with a double "D" circle.

stolen by guerrillas.

This ranch sold many horses.

I just ask you to take a look.

Instead, I ask that you
verify your identity.

He was stationed at Fort
Aldridge, correct?

Yes, sir, with Major Weatherly.

We have a man who
just left there.

You have to enter.

Dr. Seddon!

- Do you know them, doctor?
- Yes.

Do you see, Colonel?

They are in Fort Aldridge,

They are wanted by deserters!

You are lying, Colonel.

They tried to hang him
for helping McQuarrie.

This is good, good good.

If I were you, Colonel,
I would prefer to believe the doctor.

Men tend to make up stories...

... when they are at
risk of being hanged.

That's it, captain.

Colonel? You have to take a look.

You have the telegraph, find out who they are.

How ungrateful this doctor is.

We saved you from the gallows!

Captain, I will let you
organize the firing squad.

Yes sir.

Bunny, if you can help it...

Now is the time to do it.

Dr. Seddon!

I can't speak the truth

They would have k*lled us all.

Take it inside.

give me a hand

Okay, it's over.

Where did I put the weapons I
took from the two prisoners?

Do not ask me.

If there is any question
about this Captain Fleming ..,

Why not telegraph to taste?

I can still recognize an
officer when I see one.

Take care of the house...

... and I from field operations.

Yes father.

Headquarters, USA Army Washington.

Cpt. Fleming Information from
the 17th Missouri Cavalry,

about your mission...

Walter.

Was your diligence from the East?

It will arrive any moment, you will see.

Well, ask them to leave
it on the telegraph.

I'll give it to the driver.

Your weapons.

Under the summary.

What is happening?

They are going there.

Come on!

This way!

Inside home!

This way!

Go to the stable's back door.

Thank you, Dell.

A black cat.

If you sh**t, you will have a misfortune.

Captain, the prisoners have escaped!

We will find them! Mlddler, come with me.

Get ready!

Dell, stay here!

Try to stop me!

Up there!

I think we had the same idea.

Yes, and I hope it works.

Can you find the
nearest armed post?

- What's the message?
- Information about Captain Fleming.

17th Mlssourl Cavalry.

17th Missouri? There was never one!

Tell them to send troops.

I cannot reach them.

The line was cut.

Eastern stagecoach!

The driver will bring me back
and I will let my father know.

You don't want to go back.

Works for my brother.

Sam, Sam, take me back to the station!

In between. Both.

We return to the starting point.

I'm sorry about the g*n.

But I heard that there
is a guerrilla w*r.

We will be safer.

I sell goods, I sell donkeys.

This time, I will return with honors.

Hello, driver there.

He doesn't turn around.

We took another path,
the bridge collapsed.

They are coming? We will take care of them.

Sam, stop the stage!

Okay, Sam, stop there.

Your weapon.

They are going there.

McQuarrie will be furious
if we don't find them.

Who told you to
speak to the driver?

Don't worry, we will take you back.

Well, captain?
Are you coming home empty-handed?

Unfortunately

I want you to know that no
prisoners have escaped me.

It is an honor for you, Colonel.

Only my men don't have
the same weapon as yours.

Yes, we don't see many today.

A gift from a merchant.

These pistols have a
thousand ways to fire.

- Mind, sl... - Go ahead.

It's magnificent.

- It is true.
- I would like to have.

I'll have the g*n, Colonel.

- What does this means?
- I'm taking over.

- Give me that g*n!
- Give it to him, captain.

We're leaving this place.

Federal troops may
have been alerted.

All of you on the street!

All of you on the street!

Let's find out exactly what
this guerrilla is up to...

Brutal murders in cold blood.

McQuarrie and his men
reveal these inhabitants...

the impotence of these border posts.

Without warning,
the protective troops turn into looters.

Murderers

They attack residents who
applauded their arrival.

The attack is planned in a
solemn and methodical manner.

some shops,
banks and buildings are looted,

the others are destroyed.

Come on, faster than that!

Gene, did you see the smoke?

It's the Gateway, they are looting.

And we can't help it.

We can only wait and watch.

McQuarrie said he would not touch the office.

These are not the orders he gave us.

The cavalry is coming.

OK folks! Get ready!

Get ready!

Dad.

McQuarrie.

McQuarrie, you... You gave me your word.

Gene,

I'll go with you.

I can show you where they went.

Hurry, guys, put it all inside.

We'll split up for a few days.

This will give you more clues to follow.

Take it inside.

Gene, do you know what day it is?

It must be Friday the 13th.

All in!

Yes, inside, guys!

Block the entrance.

Bring more a*mo.

McQuarrie!

Yes, we are Friday the 13th,

especially for McQuarrie.

Somewhere on these
mountain cliffs...

lies the grave of
guerrilla Wade McQuarrie.

A silver fortune stolen
from federal troops...

is buried with...

last century money...

... who may never see
the light of day again.
