The Fur Trader |
Big Bart is found stabbed on the trail, his horse and furs are missing...Marie cannot save his life. |
Meanwhile, an old friend of Marie's (Julien Lussac) arrives in Bordertown. He proposes to |
Marie and tries to convince her they will live the high life in France. |
Julien's associate Eldon (Big Bart's killer), makes it look as though Julien is the murderer, |
At first Jack is eager to believe that "Frenchie" is guilty, and locks him up. |
"Somethin' just don't sit right Clive, he ain't got no motive for killin' Big Bart, ya know" |
They agree they have the wrong man in prison..... |
With Eldon behind bars, Julien is now free to return to France with their precious Marie. |
Marie explains that she will not marry Julien, Bordertown is her home now. |
Clive and Jack celebrate! |
And devise a plan to get Eldon to admit his guilt...fellow furtrader Nolte, will pretend Big Bart |
had a unique way of skinning his furs. Eldon falls for the bluff and makes an attempt to |
escape....the lawmen catch him (of course!) |
But is she too angry to say good-bye? The boys wait and wonder. |
But upon reflection...he figures... |
Jack promises to find his killer. |
The lawmen find a bone fragment from |
the handle of the murder weapon. |
But Lussac happens to deal in the fur trade...Jack is suspicious. |
