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?
