Transcript

That's the killer! Bring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince,

specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier, the saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of cavalry. How long would you say you've known him, Patrick?

I had that proud honor, I guess. Eight-ten years now. Of course, I ain't had the privilege of serving with him since the war. I still don't see why he just don't go right up to him and make stuff known.

I wouldn't intrude on the captain that way, Dury. He's a busy man. Tracking engines, planning battles. Besides, just because I recollect him so well, don't mean he'd remember me. But he's a kind of a man.

All the time will come. Just the right time. I'll acknowledge myself, the captain, Lee Quince. I bet you he'll be proud. knowing you asked special to serve under him again. Maybe surprised even. Of course, I only been with the company a week now, but it seems to me the man holding right high

in that thought. I ain't been here long myself, but it's not a man I know wouldn't lay down his life for Captain Quincy, if need be. Well, now that's nice. I declare that's real nice.

Captain, have you ever talked much about the war, Any of his experiences? Like I say, I ain't been here long myself. But the men say he's not much for talk about anything. It never was.

Even when he was younger, when most men talk free, he was more for action than words. Yeah. Funny, ain't it? How you can sense such a good feeling in a man without him talking much?
