06:45
"Be very careful of the cake—I want to surprise Dave."
08:09
"I think it's borax—let's take it to town and have it tested."
08:36
The hunger call to the rest of the famished pack.
08:52
"That sounds like wolves!"
08:56
"It can't be wolves—there hain't been none in this desert for twenty years!"
09:13
"The fire in the mountains may have driven them down, is search of food."
10:40
Thehe Law of the pack—death to the wounded wolf.
11:03
"WOLVES!"
11:06

"I'm just out of testing fluid
you'll have to wait a couple of weeks for the report."15:25
"By the way, Dave, where did you find this stuff?"
15:36
"Out there in the desert—maybe near—maybe far—who knows?"
16:25
Barstowe and his men, while rounding up the cattle, found traces everywhere of Lobo's cunning leadership.
16:52
"If we catch the leader, we can break up that wolf pack."
17:01
But catching a leader as daring as Lobo—was another matter.
18:04
With the cunning that had already made him famous, Lobo singles out one steer at a time for attack.
18:54
"Quick! The wolves are down in the canyon."
19:21
To protect the pack from the revengeful ranchers, Lobo draws the fire on himself.
21:42
"I know that wolf! That's the famous Lobo!"
21:49
"I'll give one hundred dollars for his hide!"
22:21
His foot, pierced by a cactus thorn.
22:53
Unable to extract the thorn, Lobo seeks the help of his mate.
23:29
Knowing the first sign of weakness means death—Lobo hides his injury.
24:03
As the wound grew worse, fear of his brother wolves, drove Lobo into the open—to die alone.
26:15
To Lobo, man was his greatest enemy—he expected no mercy.
26:26
"Lobo!"
27:51
Wondering why Lobo had deserted her and the puppies, the faithful mate waited in wain, for his return.
29:36
"Steady, Lobo, I'm only trying to stop the pain."
30:47
"I guess you're a tenderfoot, too, in this cactus country—you ought to wear boots!"
31:06
Even as, ages ago, the first wolf surrendered to man's love, so Lobo forsook the wild and became Dave's dog.
32:14
"You can't fool those horses—they know he's a wolf."
32:32
"Don't shoot, Bill—he's tame, now!"
32:57
"You'd better get rid of that wolf—he'll scare every horse in town."
33:08
"Yes, and if anybody recognizes him they'll shoot him."
33:33
"I haven't studied a full detective course, for nothin'."
34:38
"We're gettin' by great—nobody recognizes him!"

"That's Lobo and I'm goin' to get that reward!"
39:33
"Take him out of town quick Dave—I'll see you tonight."
40:00
That night a sand storm offered Dave an excuse to "accept" Barstowe's unwilling hospitality.
40:43
"S—sh! Not so loud—father's in the next room."
41:12
"Have you ever seen this tenderfoot making love to my daughter?"
42:09
"The storm's blown the corral fence down."
42:21
"If I come back and find them making love—you're fired!"
45:31
"I'll give you a kiss, if you don't tell Dad."
46:39
"I want a kiss—like Dave gets."
48:14
"I'm suspicious of Horton—I must post my claim—the storm will cover my tracks."
49:55
There was another on the trail—the faithful mate, who tried constantly, to win Lobo back from civilization.
