This is Cottonseed Clark, and here are the Riders of the Purple Fade. I want to ride my pony over the prairie out on the open rain Hurting the cattle Dusty and weary out on the open rain I want to see the sunset over the mountain Babe in the moon so plain I want to hit the battle her to lay the cattle out on the open range I Want to ride my pony over the ferry out on the open lane Hurting the cattle dusty and weary out on the open lane I want to see the sunset over the mountain Leaving the moon so plain I want to hit the saddle herding Lay the shadow out on it, Sam. All over the nation, the writers of the Purple Sage are becoming famous for their unusual rendition of simple western heart ballads. On radio recordings and in pictures. They've added a new meaning to an old, old story with music and words. Here they are to sing one of your requests. Someone won your heart, little darling Someone won your heart, little darling Now I'm all alone and blue Someone took my place and left an empty space in my heart When I lost you and though you found another Will you think of me as the one who loved you so? Someone won your heart, little darling I will miss you dear you. If time could turn back the page of yesterday to the love that we went to Someone won your heart and now I'm all alone. To your all star western theater. Today comes a guest star. We know you friends and neighbors will be mighty happy to meet and greet. It's a real western pleasure to welcome an outstanding actor and hard riding straight shooting star from over a public picture way, Alan Lane. Alan Lane comes to you as Sundown and a story of the west written especially for him entitled At Sundown with Boy willing as Pharaoh, Joe Forte as Hawkins, Eddie Fields as Mac, and Al Sloy as the barkeeper. This is 1870. The prosperous but lawless western cattle town of Caprock is like most any other cattle town. Saloon, crude hotels, a hardware store, blacksmith shop and a dozen or so run of the mill business institutions. Not so long ago, Caprock was a mighty peaceful place. But it wasn't long until drifters and homesteaders began flowing in to oppose the operations and beliefs of the older settlers. Today, about the only real contentment to be found is when everyone's asleep. But at the moment, old Jim Hawkins, owner of the Rafter H ranch, is very much awake as he discusses current ranching problems with some of his neighboring cattlemen. I'm telling you men that it ain't right to stand by and let a bunch of drifters come into this country and root us right out of house and home. Well, you've got the right idea, Jim, but how about giving out with a plan to keep them from it? Fight. Fight them with everything we got. Count me out. I don't want any part of a fight with that Pharaoh gang. Ah, they're no meaner or tougher than we are. They've just been better flappers up till this point. But I'll garendog untie you. And I'm getting tired of being bluff. Well, I'd rather be bluffed than buried. You can still count me out. Tom's got a point there, Jim. That young kid they call Pharaoh has got his business organized where he knows what he's doing. Why, he's nothing but a young punk gun slick. Yeah, but a good one. Every time a newcomer hits town, they join up with them. He's got them believing they've got a right to help themselves to whatever they please. They better keep their cotton pig and fingers off of my property. Well, where'd this fable kid come from anyway? Lo and a couple of years ago, from out of nowhere, started slinging his six guns around till everybody got scared of him. Then he started setting himself up in business, giving protection to Drifting. Why, the brat. He ought to be run out of the country. We all agree to that. But try and get somebody to take the job. That's just it, men. I know I get hot around the collar when I think of what that gang of cutthroats are doing to us. But mark my words, one of these days someone will come riding into this country that'll make that maverick back down. And remember I said. What's it for you, friend? Where can a man put up for the night? Yeah, we can take care of you upstairs. Reckon Cost you a buck and a half in advance. All right. Here you are, stranger around here, ain't you? That's right. Figuring on settling down here bouts? Maybe. What business you foller? Cattle. Got any prospects? Nope. Say, you don't talk much, do you, stranger? Only when I got something to say, and then I do. All right. Well, I ain't trying to buddy into your business, but being a stranger hereabouts and figuring on the cattle business, you might be willing to take some friendly advice, wouldn't you? I might. And have a talk with the Pharaoh Kid. What can he do for me? He'll see that you get your rights and give you protection while you're getting them. Well, you tell the Pharaoh Kid for me. He'll look after his own business. I'll take care of mine. Suppose you tell him, stranger, I'd be proud to trot him out. He just arrived new. So you're the Feral Kid. That's right. Who are you? They call me Sundown. What's your business? Minding my own, mostly. Look here, stranger, let's quit this game of hide and seek. That's the first sensible thing you've said. Kid, I've been seeking you long enough. What do you mean by that? I'd rather you didn't know right off hand. Then it's your turn to hide. Now get going. Nope. Not until I use up that dollar and a half bed I just bought. Hey, Mac. Yeah, Pharaoh? Come over here. Bring Hank with you. All right, Pete. Give the stranger his dollar and a half back. All right. Here you are. What's up, Pharaoh? Just a minute, boys. All right, stranger, you got your money back. Now, do you want to walk out of here peaceable like, or do I have to ask Mac and Pete to help you out? Sir, you've given me my choice. I'll take Mac and Pete. You ask for it, stranger. All right, boys. All right, Feral. That takes care of your boys. Now maybe you'd like a try at it. When I fight, it's with guns. And I'm always ready. Well, don't make the same mistake that Mac and Pete made. Aren't you, stranger? All right, boys, take Mac out and patch him up. Thanks, Kid. If it hadn't been for your quick draw, that gun slick of yours would have put a slug in my back. I don't allow my men to shoot people in the back. No, I'm glad you did that. You ought to be. It saved your life. That's not the reason. You know. You don't make yourself very clear. A day will come when I will. Say, Pete, put that dollar and a half back in the cash drawer. I think the stranger needs some rest. Morning, boss. Has that Sundown fella come down yet? Not yet. Guess he's sleeping a little late. Oh, here he comes now. Looking for me, Fell? That's right. I want to have a little talk with you. I don't think it'll do much good, but start talking. How'd you like to hook up with me? Not interested. You haven't heard my proposition. I don't have to hear it, kid. I heard all about you before I came to this town. And I don't want any part of the way you do business. And what's wrong with the way I operate? I was raised up and taught to leave things alone that belonged to other people, and I had no right to it. Now, ain't that nice? Yeah, mighty nice. It's a shame you didn't have enough sense to take advantage of the same opportunity. Just what are you hitting at? I'll let you know one of these days. What do you want in here? Hawkins? This is A public place of business. And I got a right to be here, even if you do own it. All right. But just don't go handing out any talk that'll get you into trouble. Yeah, and I'm looking for a man named Sundown. The one who made a monkey out of you and your nest of thieves last night. That's my name, friend. Huh? I'm Jim Hawkins of the Raptor Age. I'm after giving you a job. Doing what? Taking care of this soft speaking, blue eyed boy bandit here. Hawkins, you're a little too old to tangle with me. If I was you, I'd just be real quiet. What do I have to do, Mr. Hawkins? Take charge of organizing the honest landowning members in this part of the country to fight a nest of grass, stealing water, thieving hijackers? Are you interested? He's talking about me, Sundown. Now, do you want the job? Well, Mr. Hawkins? Yeah? When do I go to work? I tell you, Sundown. That's the first time I ever saw the kid flush up and get mad without pulling for his gun. Maybe something told him not to. What do you mean? Nothing. Let it go. Now, tell me, how many men are there available among your ranchers? Well, hands and all, we can depend on about 50, I reckon. You say the Kid's been fencing off over a hundred acres of your property? That's right. They use an army of killers to do it, too. There's some of my best pasture land and water. What's their claim to the property? Well, they said when I homesteaded that I staked out more property than my share. But I was here first, my land. Trying to stop them would have meant a happy hunting ground for me, and I got sense enough to know it. Any other homesteaders have gone through the same thing? Yeah, most of them. And them that haven't expected every day. You see, when a drifter blows in and wants some land and water, the kid sells it to them and takes his gang of bandits out and starts picking out what he wants. And to try and stop him is suicide, I tell you. And there's just one thing to do. Well, I'm waiting for the answer. We'll start with your ranch, get the men together, and we'll start tearing down the fences they've strung up. Yeah, but how are we going to do it? The same way they did it, except we used crowbars and wire cutters instead of hammers and staples. It's going to cause trouble. Sundown. You didn't expect a picnic, did you? Well, no, by golly, I didn't. Then don't let any grass grow onto your feet. Have your boys start rounding up the men. We've got work to do. All right, boys. Then we tear out that other section. Okay, Sundown. When the Kid finds out about this, he's going to have a whole handful of conniption. Here comes somebody on a fast run. That's the fellow who thinks he owns this land. Now, hold it a minute, boys. Oh, hold up here. Hey. Hey, what do you mean tearing my fence down like this? This here fence runs through another man's property, mister, and it's coming out. Say, this is my property. I bought it and paid for it. Somebody sold you a bad bill of goods, partner. Say, when the fair old Kid hears about this, it'll be a different story. That's exactly what we expect you to do, friend. Go on and tell them about it. That's exactly what I'm gonna do. And right now. Hey there, Slim. Right over to where the boys are waiting and tell them to come over. We're gonna have some company in a mighty short while. All right, Sundown. I'll have them back here right away. Now, how are you gonna do this, Sundown? Well, he's gonna tell the Kid there are only five of us here. I'm gonna have our boys on the edge of the ticket. When the Kid arrives with his men, we'll have a little surprise party waiting for him. All right, boys, here they come. Everybody stand by. Make no play for your guns because somebody might get hurt. What you think they'll do, Sundown? They'll cover us the first thing, if my guess ain't wrong. Remember, boys, when I give you the signal, hold their hand. All right, Hawkins, you're letting yourself in for a lot of trouble. What's this all about? Ask Sundown. He wants to tell you you're in the wrong country, Sundown. But before you leave, order those men to start putting that fence back up. Suppose you tell them. All right. Reach, every one of you. Sure, Kid. Glad to accommodate. Now drop your guns to the ground. Drop them, boy. Now, either start working or start praying. I can tell you almost the same thing. What are you getting at? There are 40 men with 40 guns looking straight at you from the edge of that thicket there. What? Have a look. You won't get by with this, Sundown. I'm afraid I will, kid. And get this straight. This fence is coming down. Then there'll be signs posted and the first one of your men that trespassed this property Takes his hands in his life. These men have orders to shoot to kill. And I'm posting the same sign in town for you, Sundown. So the next time you ride that way, you better come reaching for your gun. You want to make that a date. Name the time and the sooner the better. Well, sir, this is Wednesday, Kid. We'll have this fence work and these parts finished about Friday. How about sundown? That's a long way off, but I'll try to wait. Your place is on the west end of town. I'll come in from the east. Don't make things too easy for me. I don't need the help. You're still as cocky and confident as ever, aren't you? What do you mean as ever? I'll explain that to you. Friday at sundown. Look like Rusty. Why, the town looks like a circus. Parade's about to begin. There's a thousand people lined up on each side of the street telling his son down. I don't like this. This kid is mighty quick with a gun. It's a shame he won't have a chance to use it. I don't get it, Sundown. What makes you so confident you're gonna kill him? Kill him? I wouldn't kill that kid for the world. Have you lost your feeble, flea bitten mind? Nope. I know what I'm doing. Well, dang if I believe you. Do you? Ask me, you're getting worse than that fool kid. I just know the kid. What do you know about him? Plenty. I know that boy better than he knows himself. What you say makes about as much sense as I blame a bull in a Sunday school class. You'll find out pretty soon now. Hey, it's close to sundown. Sundown? I mean. You're getting nervous, Rusty. Well, let's go. By the time we get to the foot of town, the sun will be just about right. Right for what? To have the kid backed up against the light of the sky. Sundown. I hope you know what you're doing. I don't. I do. Let's go. Look, Pharaoh, supposing I stand in the upstairs window just in case. You keep out of this. You know I don't operate that way. All right, all right. But I just wanted to help. I don't need your help. I know you're the best gunslinger in these parts. When I was a young kid of seven, my dad taught me a how to handle a gun. And believe me, he was the best in the business. You ain't got no doubts about plugging this hombre have you? None. Except I kind of hate to let him have it for some reason or other. Funny, I just don't know what it is. Hell, this ain't no time to get sentimental, Pharaoh. It's you or him. That's right. We'll get this over with. And tomorrow we'll start putting them fences up again. The sun's fallen under. Reckon we better go out. Yeah, let's go. And, Mac, just. Just in case I am a little late on the draw, which I won't be. But just in case then. I don't want nobody plugging him, understand? But why? He'll take over around here if somebody don't stop him. I don't know why. I wish I did. Don't worry. I'll stop him. Come on, let's go. You gonna wait till he comes out of his place? Sundown. That's right. And I hope he comes soon. The folks are watching us down here. There he is, coming out. Good luck, Sundown. I hope you know what you're doing. I do. Well, here I go. Wonder what he's gonna say when he finds out. I hate to kill that fella. There's just something about him. Well, it's me or him, I reckon. And he's just about close enough. So I guess I'll let him have it. What? You. You shot my gun belt off? That's right, kid. Well, there never was but but one man who could do that. And that was my dad. Right again. Dad was the best in the business. And if you hadn't acted a fool and run off from home when you was a young punk, he'd have taught it to you too. Stinky. Stinky? Well, you're. You're my brother, Larry. It took me a mighty long time to find you, kid. Gosh, Larry, I, I, I. I don't know what to say. Well, what do you know about that? They're hugging. Thank you, Alan Lane.
