      John Martindale: I was tryin' to dig this well when they came.

      Hopalong Cassidy: [grabbing a handful of soil and smelling it] You have any trouble diggin' this stuff?

      John Martindale: Always! Black gumbo keeps oozin' into the hole.

      Hopalong Cassidy: This is why Trimble wants your ranch and all the other land in the valley.

      California Carlson: You mean that smelly stuff?

      Jimmy Rogers: What's it good for?

      Hopalong Cassidy: [laughs] There's a young fellah in the East can tell yuh. He's on his way to bein' the richest man in the world on account of it. His name is Rockefeller... John D!

    A really fun Hoppy film

    I love this Hopalong Cassidy film if only to see Bill Boyd enjoying himself enormously by posing as an eastern lawyer dude, dressed to the nines, and speaking in sophisticated English, even incorporating some legaleze! The cast, as usual, is stellar, including Don Costello as an obnoxious and brutal crime boss. It's not giving anything away to say that, as in many Hoppys, he and his pals are drawn into an adventure that has them helping strangers simply because they need the help.
