Where are you going? I'm

gonna change in the closet.

I'm bashful. All right,

go ahead in the closet.

What kept you? I was a

little long, wasn't I?

Certainly, get to bed.

I'll turn out the lights.

I don't want to hear of

Indians from you anymore.

Understand?

Get in there.

Don't mention Indians. That's

all I do is think of'em.

I'm always dreamin' of'em.

Think of something else.

Beautiful girls. I'll

think of beautiful girls,

but I'll dream about Indians. Go to sleep.

How do you do?

Something wrong?

Sanitarium? You the doctor? That's right.

Gotta have some rest.

I need a lot of rest.

All night long

when I sleep I see Indians.

Even when I turn around,

I bump into Indians.

I gotta have rest. You've

come to the right place.

You'll see no Indians here.

Everything will be all right.

Just a minute, just a minute. Take it easy.

You're in bad shape.

You do need a rest.

Wait, I'll see what

I can do for you.

Fellas, do you mind giving

this room up for tonight?

Come this way,

please.

Come, come.

Come on. Take it easy.

That's the boy. Oh, nurse? Yes?

This is your nurse.

Another Indian. You an Indian?

You must be seeing things.

He's in bad shape.

Make sure everything is quiet.

I gotta have rest. Hang your

clothes up and get some sleep.

You'll be all right in the

morning. If you need me, just call.

What a beautiful bed of roses.

I think I'll water them.

That's enough,

that's enough.

That's enough!

That's plenty!

I'm gettin' plenty

of rest tonight anyway.

Bite the dust!

I won't!

You will. You will. I won't. I won't.

Oooooh!

Come in at once! Water! Pocahontas fainted.

Fainted? Yes, John Smith

ran away with Minnehaha.

Phone for water!

Phone for water?

I'll help you, kids. I'll phone.

I don't like to see nobody faint.

Oh, boy, Pocahontas fainted.

I want some water.

And I got it too.

- Bite the dust.!

- I won't.!

- You will.!

- I won't.!

Oooooh.!

I got him...

with my finger.

Didn't work.

Run out of bullets.

That's enough.

Enough for me.

What are you doing?

You want to shoot me?

Would you like

to have your palm read?

Hee-hee-hee-hee!

General Custer.!

Sitting Bull.!

Duke! Duke! Hey, Duke!

Wake up, will ya? Yeah?

I'm scared.

What's the matter?

The whole room is full

of Indians. Where, where?

I saw two guys come in.

"Bite the dust. " "I won't!"

The other guy shot him!

Bang! Took him out!

Come here, come here!

You've been dreaming.

What is it all about? A flock

of Indians all over the room!

What do you mean, flock of

Indians? Plenty of Indians.

There's not a single Indian here. Oh, no?

No! I know, they're

married and got children.

What are you talkin' about? Everybody was

in the room, but that one that throws knives.

Remember the hat? Are

you still afraid of that?

Afraid? You think he's still around?

I'll prove to you he's not.

Come here, come here.

He's not here.

He's not here.

He's not here.

He's not here.

He's not here.

If I know you, you're

gonna do one of two things.

You're gonna

break her heart or your neck.

Either way, you're gonna

break my pocketbook.

Mr. Mitchell?

Yeah?

I'm Ace Anderson. How are

ya? Mr. Conway, my nursemaid.

How are you?

Good evening.

I own a club downtown

and I haven't seen you around.

I've been busy getting

ready for the rodeo.

Sam Shaw figures the Lazy "S" team

is a cinch to win with you on it.

I'm handling a $1,000 bet

for him.

Mr. Shaw didn't strike me

as being a betting man.

He isn't as a rule, but he spent

so much money remodeling this place,

I guess he's counting

on getting some of it back.

I'll be seeing you down

at the club. Good-bye.

Mr. Anderson!

Look out, that guy

didn't come just to talk.

I know it.

Yeah? I'll handle Mr.

Shaw's bet myself at 10-to-1.

10-to-1? That's right, but my

name's got to be kept out of it.

It's a deal.

Hey, wait a minute.

Aren't you riding for

the Lazy "S" team? Uh-huh.

You're betting $10,000 that your

own team loses? That's right.

That makes it simpler,

doesn't it?

I'll be seeing ya.

You know what that guy

thinks? Let him think it.

Ten thousand smackers. You go

and kill yourself in that rodeo...

just to make sure

her old man wins that dough.

I give up.

Hey, Duke, you know what?

I would love to dance.

Why don't you? I gotta learn

how to do those kind of dances.

Go on out and do it.

I'd like to.

Go ahead.

You know the last...

Hey, Duke, I've been

robbed. What's the matter?

I've been robbed. In

here? You've been robbed?

I had it when I left the

bunkhouse. You had what?

My other leg! I want to dance

with the girls like everybody else.

Your other leg?

I only got one leg!

What are ya talkin'

about? What do you know?

Am I happy?

You should be.

Hello. Do you dance?

Why, yes.

You have nice weather for it. Sit down.

What's on your mind, Ace?

I just wanted you to know...

that I bet 20 grand of my own money

that the Lazy "S" loses tomorrow.

Why tell me? Well, see that you

don't happen to win any events.

You ought to speak to Bronco

Bob Mitchell. He's the headman.

I'm not worried about him.

He'll see that they lose.

Bob Mitchell had me bet

10 grand at 10-to-1...

that the Lazy "S" outfit

loses.

That's where I got

my information.

Ace, I think

you're lying.

Whether you are or not, I'm riding

to win and no one's gonna stop me.

Same old couples

forward and back

Forward again

and sides dividing

You swing in the center

and you swing on the side

With an Alabama left

to the old left hand and back

We got orders from Ace

to take you with us.

Here we go with the old mess

wagon and a hind wheel broke

And the axle draggin'

Meet your partner, promenade

You know where

and I don't care

Hey, what kind of old-fashioned

jive is that you've got

Take it from me, pops

It's not so hot

You say it's

an old square dance affair

Well, you're right there

It sure is square

Don't be a chump Do a

square dance but make it jump

What you say we all go

rockin' and reelin'

Make the old Virginia reel

really hop

The corn will thrive

if you plant it in jive

I'll bet that it pops

your top

Hit the timber and

go rockin' and reelin'

Do the boogie if

the beat is in eight

You're just nowhere

if you dance in a square

'Cause you'll swing

like a rusty gate

Put rhythm to

your do-si-doin'

It's easy to make it mix

Keep jumpin'

when you're heel and toein'

If you really want

to get your kicks

Swing your partner when

you're rockin' and reelin'

Do your dancin'

like you haven't a care

You'll be first class

You'll be cookin' with gas

If you go rockin'

round the square

Ruby, Ruby

We want Ruby

She's the gal

on the mellow side

Ruby, come on, Ruby, just

let rhythm be your guide

Give the calls

Make 'em up

Do it in jive

and break 'em up

Well, if you want me to do it I'll

have these cats come on fit to kill

And we'll show you how they rock the

square back in Harlem on Sugar Hill

Now if you really want

to get your boots laced
