03:47

"Train robbers got you scared?"


03:56

"Who, me? No suh—this here cullud boy is all set. Hold me up an' Ah'll germinate—"


04:20

"If Ah pull dis string once more—WHAT PRICE GLORY!"

05:22

"No word from Cullen's secretary in a week—what does he think we're paying him for?"


06:04

Tom Gordon—
Dropped down from the rim of the world——a stranger——asking no questions——giving no answers.

...TOM MIX


06:19

07:02

"There's Cullen's daughter. She's been on a dude ranch up the river and is probably going to meet her father."

13:04

"Take care of Madge, Holt."


13:25

"Stop the train, Holt—I'm going to turn this bandit over to the posse!"


14:08

"Sorry I can't stop for tea—or whatever your father drinks."


17:09

"Hold everything, whiskers, until I can get you."


19:02

"Captain! Don't you remember when we were in the Signal Corps at Verdun—"


19:15

"—how you saved me from taking out that French girl and spending fifty dollars—"


19:28

"—and how you borrowed my fifty and bravely took her out yourself?"


19:54

"I'm trailing train robbers for Cullen, president of the K & A——but he doesn't know it."


20:05

"I've just learned that Holt, Cullen's confidential secretary, is one of the crooks. That's why I'm keeping my identity secret."


20:17

"You never did like a quiet job!"


20:27

"How would you like to work with me?—you look like a bandit."


20:46

"Right at your back, Sir—but don't lose me."


21:09

That Night—
At the railroad president's western residence.

23:41

"That Arizona bank wants to know why we don't deliver their gold bonds and I can't tell them we're afraid of hold-ups—"


24:07

"We'll send the strong-box on the Special No. 10 tomorrow—take a chance that the news doesn't leak out—"


26:55

"Don't be alarmed, Miss Cullen, I'm just a young bandit trying to get along."


27:28

"You might get nervous and swallow that little cannon!"


27:45

"Remember, mum's the word—and I'll tell you a little secret tomorrow."


28:29

"No, Dad, I haven't seen anyone."


29:34

"I didn't do it for you—it was for my father. Excitement is bad for his—heart."


29:50

"This kind of excitement is good for my heart."


30:43

"Are you with me?"


30:48

"Right at your back, Sir."


32:05

"That bandit probably overheard our plan to ship those gold bonds on No. 10."


32:25

"Why not send fake bonds with armed guards on that train and—"


32:37

"—carry the real treasure with us on our train."


33:00

"She's a great girl! I sort of hate to have her think I'm a low-down train robber—"


33:14

"Stick around the private car and watch Holt. I'll be up the road."


33:59

"I fooled Cullen easily. He's carrying the bonds on his own train."


34:10

"We'll hold you up after the second tunnel."


35:56

"Holt, you're a great help to me!"


37:53

"I believe you're thinking about that bandit."


39:01-39:05

"Money—is—on—Cullen's—train—"


39:19-39:24

"Holt—has—tipped—off—robbers—to—hold—up—engineer—after—second—tunnel—"


46:25

"He's in with the train robbers, Mr. Cullen—I heard everything—"


46:38

"Surely, you don't believe this tramp!"


46:49

"You oughta believe a man when he tells th' truth fer the first time in his life!"


48:07

"I'll go back and flag No. 10."


49:24

"Tom trusted me—an' I failed him—"


49:33

"Tom—you mean that highwayman?"


49:39

"Tom Gordon—a bandit! Why, he's the detective your father sent for!"


50:16

"Well, Miss Cullen, everything's all right, and now I can tell you that little secret."


50:31

"I know everything—he just told me."


50:52

"What's the matter, Buddy?"


51:07

"Never mind, old pal, I'll bring you the box—"


51:17

"—I'll bring you the bandits, sweetheart!"


53:45

"Better put this on, Holt—you might catch cold."


55:33

"If you don't quit drinkin' that stuff, you'll drown yet."


57:55

"Just a minute, Miss Fortune—where you goin'?"


1:01:00

"The helpful young man on the end of my rope, used to be your secretary."


1:01:54

"Two souls without a single thought!"
