When United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok would turn his big deputy Jingles loose for minutes, Jingles turned to his favorite hobby, inventing. And every time he did, it led to more wild and dangerous adventure for the two saddle partners. One gun thundering episode. With mile a minute action followed Jingle's invention of the fabulous wind wagon. Sailing, sailing over the bounding main well, howdy, Bill. Morning, Jingles. I figured I'd find you here. Sure, Bill. I was here early. Gonna finish my invention today. What's it gonna be this time, partner? A wind wagon. Can't you tell? Where'd you get that idea? Well, back in 53, there was a sailor named Thomas built one. I've been reading about it. Did it work? Sure it did, but this one's better. He used a sail for his. But I got a brand new idea. See, I'm using the windmill and the windmill runs a wagon? Sure. All I need now is a set of gears to put right in here and Hamp. Lester just brought them over from the general store. Head blasted. Jingos, come and give me a hand with these things. They're heavy and I ain't no pack mule. That's Hamp with the gears. I'm coming, Hampton. About time. I'd have known how heavy they'd get. You the bottom fob my store porch. Well, now, you just coming to help me set them here in the wagon? Might as well. Gotta see what's going on around here. Don't want nobody putting nothing over on me. Howdy, Hickok. Howdy. Amp gonna expect to drill for water with this contraption, Jingles? What? No, I'm gonna ride in it. Ride in it? You hear that, Hickok? I heard him, Hamp. I'm gonna ride with him. Yeah, I'll be dogged. Well, I guess I'll drop by the coroners and tell him to get out the big table. He'll be a needing it for you and Jingles. Hot ziggity, Bill. She's just about ready for the tryout. Now. Just let me get the wagon tongue bent back here over the wagon. And what's that for, Jingle? That's the way I guide it. Just like a rudder on a riverboat. But it's in front. Okay, Bill, get that rock out from under the wheel and climb in. Something tells me I'm gonna regret this. All set for the big ride, Bill? Yep. I'm Ready for anything, partner. When do we start? Well, when the wind gets strong enough to turn that windmill. We could wait all day. Oh no. It's almost doing it now. Almost. Maybe you better just give it a little push, huh Bill? Yeah, I think I better. That's it, Bill. It's moving now. Jump in quick. This is a steep hill. Jingles. I hope you've got this thing under control. Sure I have. Feel a roll, Bill? Now I'm famous. Jingles Jones fabulous twin wagon is a trick set. Yeah, going downhill, going mighty fast, People. Ain't Jingles that barn right in front of me? You better put on the brakes. Great suffering centerpiece, Bill. What's the matter? We ain't got no brakes. I forgot him. No brakes. Then turn it away from that barn again. Something wrong? The wheels are locked. Get on quick, Jingle. We're going to crash. Boys and girls, you've got exactly one week, seven days from now until next Monday to get your entries in for the Kellogg's Pep Bike Contest. And say Wranglers.

Cause this contest ends next Monday, June 15. It was too late when Jingles remembered that he'd forgotten to put brakes on his wind wagon. Thundering down the long hillside at top speed, unable to stop, turn or even slow down, they crashed into the broadside of a big Whitewashed barn. Jingle it. Jingles. Hey, partner, you all right? No, doggone it, I'm not all right. I got 17,000 bones broke. I'm battered and bruised from one end to the other and I. Bill. Bill, you ain't hurt, are you? I guess not, Jingles. All I got was a bump on my head from this haystack. Haystack? Oh, now, Bill, you can't get a bump from a haystack. I did just the same. I hit my head on something solid right about. Right about here. Bill. Bill, there's a piece of machinery under that haze. Yeah. Now what Would anybody jingle? Do you know what this is? Sure I do, Bill. That's a coin press. You're right. What's it doing out here in the barn, Bill? Counterfeiters. Sure looks that way, partner. Hey, anybody alive in there? Bill, somebody's coming. Yeah. Quick, cover the machine up again and don't say anything about it. I got your bills covered. Hey, are you alive or dead? Speak up. Looks like we're alive, all right. Who's there? It's me, that's who. You need any help? No, we just got a few scratches I seen he coming storming down that hill. Hey, how did you ever get loose in a wagon with no horses hitched to it? That's a long story, mister. Yeah, it's a horseless wagon, runs by wind. I invented it. You did? What's the matter, you titched? Now, you hold on. Never mind, Jingle. It's your barn, mister. Nope. Well, do you know the owners? We'll have to pay them for the damages. They moved back to St. Louis about eight months ago. What's your name? My name don't matter much and it's kind of hard to say anyhow, but folks call me Deacon. Who are you? This is United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok. And I'm Old Wind Wagon Jingles. Yes, sir. Lawmen. That's right. What about it, Deacon? Lawmen. Now that'll be dead burned, turtle bait lawman with nothing better to do than go loco in a horseless wagon. Now, just a calf roping minute, you old shot. Running down bandits, Train robbers. OWL HOOTS why ain't. Hold on, Deacon. Yeah, for all you know, we might be close on the shirt table. A couple of owl hoots right this very minute. That's right, Jingles. Closer than you think. Come here, Buckshot. You too, joker. Come and running. Hey, hey, you ain't gonna go up and leave that contraption laid out all over this barn, are you? We'll take Care of that later, Deacon. Right now we're headed for town with no time to lose. Let's go, Jingle. But, Bill, what are we doing in Hamp Lester's store? You know any better place to start looking for counterfeit money than a general store, Jingle? Well, no, now that you mention it. Howdy, Jingles. You tried out your contraption yet? Sure have, Ham. That ain't what we come to talk to you about. And I got a customer. Now, pull up by the cracker barrel and I'll be with you in a minute. All right, ham. Hey, now, Mr. Schultz, anything else you need? I'm not so sure what I need. Heading west. This way. How far is the next village? Yeah, the next town is Two Forks, about 20 miles due west. You pushing on today? Yeah. The sooner we find a place to settle down, the better it will be for my Hilda. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Well, there's your change right on the blanket. Ah, so much in coins, it'll weigh me down in the pockets. That's all I've got right now. Ain't been to the bank today. It's all right. You want some help with that gear? No, no, no. It's not much and I'm very strong. Well, good day to you. Good luck, Schultz. Reckon you'll need it heading west. Well, gents, what can I do for you? Yeah, I got reason to believe there might be some counterfeit money floating around. You seen any lately? Why, no, Hickok. We haven't had any phony coins in town since you sent Harry Sledge to the territorial pen. Why? Why, we were jingle. Oh, talking when I should have been listening again. Yep, Come to think of it, Harry Sledge's coin press was never found. Well, thanks, Hap. Guess we'll go to bank of Butt about it now. That won't do no good, Hickok. If the bank saw any counterfeit coins, why, I'd be the first one they tell. Well, I'll check with him just the same. Come on, Jingles. Blast the look. I wonder what all that means. I heard him talking. Ethan. How'd you get here? Snuck in the back way. I'm sure they know something, Hamp. How? If you tipped them off to anything, I'll kill you. Deacon. Tipped them nothing. They ran that dead burned wind wagon right through the side of the barn. They see the coin press? If they did, they didn't let on. Now, we've got to work fast. Now, here, take this rifle. You follow Hickok and Jingles. Stay out of sight. But if they Start getting too close to the truth. You know what to do. And what are you gonna do? I'm going out to the barn and move the press through the tunnel into the house. That ain't gonna stop Hickok. Maybe not. But if he gets too nosy around that trap door, he's likely to run into a keg of blasting powder with a lantern setting on it. That'll stop him for good. Bank still open, Bill? What? Joker? Yep. Buckshot now. Banker Bud's still around. There he is, Bill. Behind the railing. Yeah. Well, good afternoon, Bill. Jingles. What's on your mind, Bill? You look like a man with a purpose. He sure is, Mr. Bud. Me, too. I came to find out whether you had any counterfeit money passed into the bank lately. Coins or paper, Bill? Either one. Well, but it's a funny thing you're asking that just this afternoon. Why is that, Mr. Bud? Because I got a letter from the bank and two forks in the morning. Stage says he had a counterfeit coins pop up within the last two weeks. Coin? See, Bill and Ham said he hadn't seen any coin. They sent one of the phony coins in this letter. Here. Listen to it. Sure sounds dull, don't it? Jingles? That's it. What? Coins don't make any noise on a blanket. Of course they don't. You gone local? No, partner. Just a little slow. Oh, Mr. Bud, could I borrow that counterfeit coin for a while? Sure, Bill. Here, take it. Thanks. Come on, Jingles. We got some riding to do. Doggone it, Bill, I ain't never gonna get my wind wagon fixed at this rate. Bill Hickok, you don't ever tell me nothing. What are we heading for the town of Two Forks for anyway? I want to catch up with that man Shuls. Jingle. You mean the one we saw at Hamp Lester's store? That's the one. But, Bill, he didn't look like no counterfeiter. He was a nice little old geezer. What do you want with him? I want to get change for $5. Change for $5? Now, if that ain't the craziest thing I ever heard. You just left the bank. Mr. Budd could have given you that. Hey, Bill, there's a wagon up there. Yeah, that shoots us over there. Bill, he's shooting it up. Get out, Jingles. Put your hands up and ride right on into him. Get my head shot off. That ain't right, Brian. Keep your hands up. You know we're not hold up, men. You hope all you find extra shoots and stop Your wagon. Hold team. That's better. Yeah. Put that rifle down. Oh, Joker. Keep your hands up, please. Who are you? What do you want? I'm Marshall Hickok, Mr. Schultz. This is my deputy, Jingle. Oh, then I was right. I thought so when I seen you in the store back there. Now. All right, I put away the gun. Yeah, we'll all feel a lot more comfortable, too. I'm sorry, but my Hilda, she is not well in the back of the wagon there. I want no harm to come to her. We understand. And all we want is to get change for this five dollar bill from the money you got in Hamp Lester's store. Change? But that is a strange request. I have my reasons. But surely the United States Marshal always has his reasons. Here. I will be very glad to oblige. Thank you. Here's the bill. $4. 4. 55. Here's your change. Is this all, Mar. That's all. Thank you. And good luck, Mr. Schultz. Yeah, sure. The best of it, Bill. Somebody shooting. Start your horses and run for Mr. Shorts. Those shots are meant for us. They sure are. And they're coming from a rifle field. You've got get in, pussy. Get out of here. Come on, Jingles. We'll draw his fire. Hi. Back shot. Hey, Draw. Fire. Nothing. I'm gonna make a necktie out of that rival and string it around that bushwacker's neck. Jeff Yogurt, let's get riley herbst from 2311 racing here. And you know what grinds my gears?

On a sudden hunch, Wild Bill raced with Jingles to overtake the Schultz wagon and retrieve the coin Schultz had received from Hamp Lester. Just as Bill got the coins in his hand, a hidden rifleman opened fire on them, zapping them rocks. Bill. That'll make him hard to catch, Jingles. There goes a dust cloud, Bill. He's headed back for town. Least he's quit shooting. I think we can save time by heading for town ourselves, partner. How we gonna catch a varmint if we lose him now? The man we want wouldn't come out to do his own dirty work. Jingles. Now quit talking in circles, Bill. If you know who the counterfeiter is, let me in on him. I figure the man we want is Ham blessed Hamp Lester at the general store. How do you figure that? This coin Banker Bud got in his letter from Two Forks matches up with the coins Mr. Schultz got from Hamp Lester. Well, I'll be a pink eared salamander. Let's hit the trail and look for Hamp Lester. Jingles, we can get this bushwhacker later. Hi, Buckshot. I Jeff Joker. We got a crook to catch, Bill. There don't seem to be anybody around the barn. Just keep your eyes open, Jingles. This is a good time to watch out for tricks. Hey, there's a horse up there on the other side of the house, partner. That means somebody's here. Yeah, and whoever it is ain't likely to take the company. Bill, look at my wind wagon after all the work I put in on it. Worry about that later, partner. First let's look under the haystack for that coin press. Bill. Bill, it's gone. And Hap knows we're after him. Look for signs of dragging that machine. It's too heavy to go far. Well, where do you reckon they've taken? I don't know. But here, Jingles, there's a block and tackle hanging up there on that rafter. Oh, now, Bill, there's one in every barn and it's right over this spot. Bill, whatever you're kicking sounds awful hollow. It should be Jingles at the trap door. Oh, that's a secret of where they took that coin breast. Here, now I'll raise up the door and we can. Hey, Bill, there's a lantern burning under here. Well, what are you running, Jingle? Drop that door. That's a keg of blasting fog. What? Bill, drop the door. Run, dog. You know I've had enough. Where? Quiet, Jingles. What is it, Bill? Quiet and play dead. Somebody's coming. Huh? Yeah. Be ready to grab him. You see what I told you, Deacon? If you missed him with that rifle, I let them kill themselves with that keg of blasting powder. That was a good trick, Hamp. Not quite good enough, you coyotes. Deacon, blast him. He ain't dead. Not quite, Deacon. Just live enough to break up your counterfeiting. I told you you couldn't put nothing over on Wild Bill Hickok once he got on our trail. Hampton, shut up, you fool. It was a good plan making the coins and feeding them to people passing through town. Yeah, the general store was a good place to do it. You even thought of putting a blanket on your counter so they couldn't hear the dull thuds of coins made. So that's how you got wise. That was part of it. But Jingles here started us on your trail. I did? Oh, sure. How did I do that, Bill? I don't remember. If you hadn't built your fabulous wind wagon, we wouldn't have crashed into this barn and found the corn press. Oh, yeah. Hey, by the way, I meant to look and see if that press was down here. You see it? Yeah, Bill, it's down there all right. Now, Deacon, run for the horses. No, you don't. Get him, Bill. That's your last bid for freedom for a long time, gents. Now let's get moving for town. Yeah, I gotta go rest up for my next invention. Aren't you going to come back and fix up your wind wagon, Jingles? No, Siri. After all the trouble that doggone horseless contraption got us into, I'm not having any more to do with it. Oh, now, Joker, you quit giving me the horse, lamb. I wasn't going to put you out to pasture. Oh, come on, Joker. Let's go get a great big bag of oats and talk this thing over man to horse.
