[Narrator]

United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his big deputy, Jingles lived a life of excite, excitement and adventure. But never was it more exciting and adventurous than the time the two lawmen stepped into a storm of lead and powder smoke when they tried to make peace in Aunt Sarah's gunfight.

[Jingles]

The real nice day. Bill, don't we have some owl hoots we're supposed to chase? Or some rustlers to capture? Or maybe a range war with a lot of bullets flying around?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That sure doesn't sound like you, Jingles. You're always saying you don't like trouble.

[Jingles]

Well, some kinds of troubles are worser than others. For instance, I'd a lot rather be out somewhere getting shot at than riding down to the station to meet Aunt Sarah.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Seems to me as though you don't care too much about your Aunt Sarah.

[Jingles]

Oh, but, Bill, I like her, all right. She's a real nice old lady. But she's the kind who likes to have her own way.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

The bossy kind, huh?

[Jingles]

Well, not exactly. But she's determined. Aunt Sarah is a real determined woman.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Shake it up a little, Jingles, or we won't be there when the train gets in.

[Jingles]

I don't care, Bill. You know, I used to live with Aunt Sarah back in east side. Alien. She still thinks I'm just a little boy.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

There's nothing wrong with that.

[Jingles]

Oh, yes, there is, Bill. She still calls me Jingles Pie.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Jingles Pie. That's sort of cute, Bud.

[Jingles]

Now, Bill, he thought you cut that out.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, maybe Aunt Sarah won't stay long in Santa Fe.

[Jingles]

Oh, that's what I was hoping. She's real sweet. But I'd just assume she'd be sweet back in Kansas instead. Out here where I am. Whoop.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Whoa. Watch out. Steady there, boy.

[Jingles]

Simmer down now, Joker. You've seen trains before. Oh, there's the conductor. Down a couple of cars and. Oh, somebody's getting off.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That must be Aunt Sarah.

[Jingles]

That's her, all right. Howdy, Aunt Sarah.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, well, if it isn't my favorite nephew, Jingles Pies.

[Jingles]

Oh, Aunt Sarah cut out that Pie business. I'm not a little boy any more. Honest.

[Aunt Sarah]

You always be my little boy.

[Jingles]

Yes, ma'. Am. That's what I was afraid of. I mean, I reckon so. Oh, I ain't, Sarah. This year's Wild Bill Hickok.

[Aunt Sarah]

Wild Bill Haycock. My, I'm happy to meet you. Jingles has told me so much about you in his letters.

[Jingles]

Yeah, Bill's my partner.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm glad to know you, ma'.

[Narrator]

Am.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You can be real proud of Jingles.

[Aunt Sarah]

Oh, I am. And I'm so glad I'm going to live out here where I can keep an eye on him all the time.

[Jingles]

Live out here?

[Aunt Sarah]

Yes. Isn't that wonderful?

[Jingles]

No. Or, I mean, I guess. Oh, you mean just for a while. Just a little visit, don't you?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

No.

[Aunt Sarah]

I mean from now on. Sold my home. Got all the truck owned in the world right up there in the baggage car. I'm moving West, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, what do you know?

[Jingles]

I don't know what I know, Aunt Sarah. New Mexico's a wild territory. This ain't no place for you to move to.

[Aunt Sarah]

Now, don't you worry about me, Jingles Pieces.

[Jingles]

I. I'm worrying about New Mexico.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Are you planning to live, ma'?

[Jingles]

Am?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You figured to rent a house or stay at the hotel?

[Aunt Sarah]

Oh, I'm not going to stay in Santa Fe. I bought me a business from a man I met in Kansas City.

[Jingles]

Oh, well, then you're going back to Kansas City, huh?

[Aunt Sarah]

No, indeed. Jingles Pie, the man in Kansas City sold me a real nice little hotel in a town about 20 miles from Santa Fe.

[Jingles]

You're gonna run a hotel?

[Aunt Sarah]

Why not? I just love to keep house. And you always said it was a good cook.

[Jingles]

Yeah, that's right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You say this hotel's about 20 miles? Nothing much out there but desert.

[Jingles]

That's right. The only things out there besides Indian Hogans and Prairie Dog holes is a little sort of a dump called Red Dog.

[Aunt Sarah]

That's it. I bought the hotel in Red Dog.

[Jingles]

Oh, no, Aunt Sarah. You did.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, I most certainly did. What's wrong with that?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, Red Dog is sort of a rough town.

[Jingles]

Right. It's just plain poison. Why, the people that live there are so crooked they have to scream their shirts on. Why, they've killed three sheriffs already this year. And they have so many gunfights their cemetery's bigger than the town. Oh, Aunt Sarah, you ain't gonna go to Red Dog?

[Aunt Sarah]

I bought that hotel. I got a good, clear title to it and I'm going to Red Dog. So just give me a hand with my baggage.

[Jingles]

I told you she was a real determined woman, Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure looks that way, Jingles. But if she's going to Red Dog, looks like we're going, too. There's a hotel right ahead. Jingles, drive the wagon up in front, and I'll take Buckshot and Joko over the hitch rack.

[Jingles]

Okay, Bill, but stay close to us. I got a hunch we're gonna need you.

[Aunt Sarah]

Tain't much of a town, is it, Jingles?

[Jingles]

I told you that, Aunt, sir, it's no place for you to be buying a hotel.

[Aunt Sarah]

I'm not buying it. I've already bought it, and that's that. I'll make the best of it.

[Jingles]

Well, here we are. Whoa, there. You sit tight, answer till I get down. Then I'll give you a hand.

[Aunt Sarah]

Here comes somebody to meet us, Jingles. We must have been expected.

[Jingles]

That's nice. Well, I'm down now.

[Todd Blake]

All right, you big bull moose, you're down now. Climb back up again. Turn that team around and get out of town.

[Jingles]

Just a doggone minute. Who in the heck do you think you are?

[Todd Blake]

That doesn't matter, but I know who you are. This old lady here figures she bought the hotel from a man named Spencer back in Kansas City, right?

[Narrator]

Wrong.

[Jingles]

She's not an old lady. She's my Aunt Sarah.

[Aunt Sarah]

But I did buy the hotel. And I've got a deed from Mr. Spencer to prove it.

[Todd Blake]

Now, ain't that great? I'm Todd Blake, and I'm running the hotel now just like I run everything else in Red Dog.

[Jingles]

But Aunt Sarah bought the hotel. Shut up. I'm shut.

[Todd Blake]

You got two.45s pointed right at your big vest. Now get back on that wagon before I count three or I'll blast a hole in you. That team can drive through one.

[Jingles]

But listen, Jingles.

[Aunt Sarah]

Come on.

[Slim]

Wranglers eatin beats talkin. When it comes to a bowl of Kellogg's Rice Krispies for breakfast. Always so fresh and crisp, they speak right up with their cheerful snap, crackle, pop Just as soon as you touch em with milk and another treat. I'll bet lots of you fellows and gals like is big, plump, tasty marshmallows, right? Well, sir, you take something as fresh, crisp and delicious as Kellogg's Rice Krispies.

But just make sure you got some Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Marshmallows on hand. Take it from your old pal Slim.

[Narrator]

Jingles stepped into a deadly threat to his life when he stepped off the wagon in the little town of Red Dog. Todd Blake, with two loaded.45s pointing at Jingles, counted slowly to three and then.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hold it right there.

[J]

Hands all right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Your hands hurt, but get them up anyhow.

[Jingles]

Bill, I was hoping you were watching.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I heard the whole thing. Jingles Blake's a pretty brave man. Running women out of town, shooting men. He's got the drop on Hickok.

[Todd Blake]

You're a big man most places in the west, but not in this town. You try to move into Red Dog, you're asking for more trouble than you'll ever be able to handle.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Dingles, pick up his gun so he won't shoot us in the back. And let's get your Aunt Sarah moved in. Sure Bill.

[Jingles]

That is, if Aunt Sarah still wants to move in.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, I can't say as how I'm too happy. But I got my money tied up in this thing and I sort of hate to see a weasel like Blake here stop me from doing anything.

[Jingles]

Atta girl.

[Todd Blake]

Aunt Sarah, I'm warning you.

[Jingles]

Oh, shut up, you big sore head. Why don't you go get a drink of water and fall down the well? Come on, Bill, let's move her in.

[Todd Blake]

Get out of that bunk, Slash, and get your guns off.

[J]

What's up now, Todd? Another stagecoach? Hold up. Or you got something else just as good.

[Todd Blake]

I got nothing but trouble this time. That old lady that bought the hotel from Spencer's here. She's taking over.

[J]

But you said you'd have her out of town in five minutes. What's the matter? Can't you handle an old lady?

[Todd Blake]

Of course you're not, head. But I need a little help to handle who's with her.

[J]

Who said?

[Todd Blake]

Wild Bill Hickok and Jingles Hickok.

[J]

Todd, he's probably carrying a warrant for every man that's living in that hotel.

[Todd Blake]

Sure. That's why I took over the hotel, owning the whole town. I've got the perfect hideout for any killer or outlaw in the west that wants to pay my price.

[J]

So who moves in on your little gold mine? But the one law, ma', am, that none of your guests want on their trail.

[Todd Blake]

Well, he won't be around long for the prices I get. I promise. Protection from the law with every room I rent. Now get your guns and let's go.

[Jingles]

Boy, oh, boy.

[Slim]

Front.

[Jingles]

Take Mr. Jingle's bags up to 210. I wonder why I never thought of running a hotel before. Only I sure don't like the idea of running one in the town of Red Dog.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

What are you, Jingles?

[Narrator]

A clerk?

[Jingles]

Yeah, Bill. Boy, oh, boy. Take Mr. Hickok's bags.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That's fine, except this hotel never saw a bellboy. In fact, it isn't even a hotel.

[Jingles]

It sure looks like one. What do you mean, Bill?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Jingles Hotel is a hideout for some of the biggest outlaws and killers in the West.

[Jingles]

Oh, now, Bill. What do you mean?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I've been looking over some of the guests. There's Whitey Bean, the train robber they've been looking for for six months.

[Jingles]

He's here?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

He sure is. There's Rex Dawson. He's wanted for some shooting down in Texas.

[Jingles]

Well, I thought he was in Mexico.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

And there's plenty more like those two. Blake set up this whole town just for Crooks and outlaws.

[Jingles]

Aunt Sarah sure bought herself a fine little nest of snakes, didn't she?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

She sure did. But she let us write to some of the men we've never been able to find. You know, we ought to make her a deputy.

[Jingles]

You mean we're gonna start rounding them up?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure. There's a perfectly good jail here in Red Dog that hasn't been used for a long time. What do you say we fill it up?

[Jingles]

Well, now, that sounds real easy when you say it, Bill, but. Well, I'll just bet my new saddle blankets we ain't gonna do it without plenty of trouble.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Maybe we can if we can surprise them. Five of the men we want are playing cards right now.

[Jingles]

Where?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Right here in the dining room of the hotel.

[Jingles]

Come on now, Bill. Let's think this thing over just a little bit. Those hombres in there are tough customers.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I know it. That's why I want them in jail.

[Jingles]

Oh, howdy, James. Howdy.

[J]

What's the idea of busting in here, Hiccup?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

The game's over, Dawson. I'm here on business.

[J]

What kind of business?

[Jingles]

Law business. You're all under arrest.

[J]

Can't get away with this. There's five of us. Gun him down, man.

[Jingles]

Well, now, anybody else want to try that?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We'll take care of that arm after we get you in jail. Dawson, line them up and take the guns, Jingles.

[Jingles]

Sure, Bill.

[Aunt Sarah]

Jingles, where are you?

[Jingles]

Oh, that's Aunt Sarah. Any.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hurry up, Jingles. We want to get this bunch in jail before the rest of the crooks in town hit the trail.

[Aunt Sarah]

Oh, there you are, Jingles pie.

[Jingles]

Oh, now, don't call me that, Aunt Sarah.

[Aunt Sarah]

What's going on here, anyway? I heard shooting.

[Jingles]

You sure did. A couple of those ground squirrels was local enough to try to pull a gun on Bill.

[Aunt Sarah]

What have they done?

[Jingles]

Just about everything. That's again the law. We're taking them to jail.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right, you gents, let's start walking. Couple of more halls like this and Red Dog might be a pretty good town to live in.

[J]

Well, Blake, what are you gonna do next? Two days you've been waiting to get a shot at Hickok and he's too smart for you.

[Todd Blake]

He ain't too smart for me, but I ain't gonna make the mistake of trying to beat him to the draw.

[J]

I saw you try that once. You're lucky you're still living.

[Todd Blake]

I got a plan. Now, Slash. We'll hit Hickok and Jingles where they can't hit back.

[J]

It better work. You don't get those birds out of that jail pretty quick. You might just as well leave the country.

[Todd Blake]

I'll get him out. Now, listen, in a few minutes, Hickok and Jingles will go across the street from the hotel to the jail to feed the prisoners.

[J]

Yeah, what do we do, jump them in?

[Todd Blake]

You're not head. You don't jump Hickok without getting hurt.

[J]

And what do we do?

[Todd Blake]

I'm telling you, while they're at the jail, we walk into the hotel and grab the old lady.

[J]

Jingle Zen.

[Todd Blake]

That's right. Lock her in a hotel room and hold her while we do business with Hickok.

[J]

Yeah, might work.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure, it'll work.

[Todd Blake]

And Hickok better do business our way or that'll be the end of Aunt Sarah.

[Aunt Sarah]

Here's the other kettle of stew, Jingles. And there's hot bread in the oven.

[Jingles]

Oh, now, Aunt Sarah, this kind of grub is just too darn good for those varmints over in the jail.

[Aunt Sarah]

They sure eat plenty of it. When are you and Bill taking them to Santa Fe?

[Jingles]

Well, we gotta round up Todd Blake and his sidekick and then I think we'll have them all.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, good. When you get them all in jail, I'll collect their room rent.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

When we've got them all locked up, Jingles can ride in and get the sheriff and a posse and take the whole bunch to the county jail.

[Aunt Sarah]

My stars. With all the crooks in jail, the town's almost deserted.

[Jingles]

Well, that's good. Maybe some decent people can move in then.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, everything's here now. Jingles, you take the sue and Bill can carry the bread and coffee.

[Jingles]

Don't.

[Aunt Sarah]

Careful, now. Don't you boys burn yourselves. If any of the prisoners want some more, I'll be glad to fix it.

[Jingles]

Oh, this is enough for them. I'll be glad when we get them to Santa Fe and I won't have to carry their grub to them.

[Aunt Sarah]

Well, that's that. Now I can start cleaning things up a little bit. Land, When I bought a hotel, I never thought I'd be cooking for a bunch of jailbirds.

[Todd Blake]

All right, lady, just drop them pans. You're coming with us, Mr. Blake. That's right, Mr. To Blake. And you and those two law men are giving me all the trouble I feel like taking.

[Aunt Sarah]

You get away.

[Todd Blake]

Grab a slash before Hickok and Jingles get back.

[Jingles]

All right, clear you. Oh, she hit me, Brain.

[Narrator]

I'll get her.

[Jingles]

Oh, you stay away from me.

[Todd Blake]

Come on, slash after.

Say Wranglers, listen to this great news about something you want and they're free of extra cost.

[Slim]

Somebody giving something away for free? Something good, Charlie?

[Narrator]

You bet, Slim. Something every cowboy and cowgirl listening will want. Especially with Halloween coming up.

[Jingles]

Oh boy.

[Slim]

I know. The cutout mask on the backs of the large size Rice Krispies and all Corn Flakes packages.

[Narrator]

Right as rain, Slim and Wrangler Pals, wait until you see these cutout masks. Funny ones, weird ones, scary ones, spooky ones, Pirates, gorillas, witches, snarling tigers, painted African warriors with pointed teeth. Just about any kind of mask you want for a Halloween party or for trick or treats. And you get them free of extra cost when mom buys Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

[Slim]

And listen to this, wranglers. There are 12 masks in all. Four on the backs of large size Kellogg's Rice Krispies packages and eight on the backs of Kellogg's Corn Flakes packages. Twelve different masks in all. And you'll want one of each kind, that's for sure. But you gotta get hustlin'. You gotta tell your mom about these masks. So the next time she shops, she'll remember to get both Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Kellogg's Corn Flakes so you can cut out the mask and have lots of fun. Ask mom to shop Today.

[Narrator]

Todd, Blake and Slash chased Aunt Sarah up the stairs of the old hotel in the town of Red Dog, hoping to hold her and force Wild Bill to release the prisoners in the jail. But Aunt Sarah had other ideas and she headed for safety while she yelled for Help from Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Lock the jail door tight, Jingles, and we'll go back and have dinner with Aunt Sarah.

[Jingles]

I'm sure ready for dinner.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're always ready.

[Jingles]

Bill. Bill, that's Aunt Sarah.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Come on back to the hotel. Get on, Jingles. They've got the street covered.

[Jingles]

Bill. I'm behind this barrel. Where are you?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Back of this stone post. Can you see them?

[Jingles]

Yeah. The shots came from the downstairs windows.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

If we cross the street, they'll pick us up in a hurry.

[Jingles]

But what about Aunt Sarah?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I don't know where she is.

[Jingles]

Well, if they've done anything to her, I'll shoot their ears off one at a time.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Let's see if we can find out where they are.

[Jingles]

You want to stick your head up near a window and find out if we can? You don't scare me.

[Todd Blake]

You try anything funny and you'll find that aunt of yours real dead.

[Jingles]

They've got Aunt Sarah, Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Watch your proposition, Blake.

[Narrator]

Open up that jail and turn everybody loose.

[Todd Blake]

The old lady will be all right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm afraid I can't do that.

[Jingles]

You'd better, and I'm not giving you much time, Bill. Maybe we'll have to. Somebody open a wind upstairs. I'll get him.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hold your fire, Jingle Duds. Aunt Sarah.

[Jingles]

Jingle Tie, Jingle. Here I am. Down here, Aunt Sarah.

[Aunt Sarah]

Don't you worry about me, Jingles. I'm locking the room up here.

[Jingles]

Go up and shoot the lock off that door.

[Todd Blake]

Grab the old lady.

[Andrew Rines]

Okay.

[Jingles]

Those slide winders. Aunt Sarah. Aunt Sarah. Gonna throw you one of my guns. If they come up there, you use it.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Careful now, Jingles.

[Jingles]

Wow, wow, wow. I like to tore my shirt off.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, he can shoot, partner. Let me blast away at him to spoil his aim while you try to toss that gun through the window.

[Jingles]

That's a good idea. You ready?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah.

[Narrator]

Now.

[Jingles]

That kept him undercover.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Did you get the gun to Aunt Sarah?

[Jingles]

Yeah, she caught it like a center fielder grabbing a long fly. Now there where you are till we can rescue you. She'll start a war and get herself killed, Bill. Oh, there she goes.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Somebody's throwing an awful lot of lead.

[Jingles]

I'll bet Aunt Sarah's throwing her share.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That'll keep Blake off our neck. Come on, Jingles.

[Jingles]

Well, so far we ain't been shot at.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sounds like all three of them are blasting away inside.

[Jingles]

Sure does.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Here we are. Open the door.

[Jingles]

It's locked.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Smash it down.

[Jingles]

I can do that easy enough. Go.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Don't try to pick up that gun, Blake. You're through.

[Jingles]

Where's your Sidekick Slash?

[Todd Blake]

I don't know. You went upstairs.

[Jingles]

Upstairs? Aunt Sarah's up there.

[Aunt Sarah]

No, I'm not. Jingles, you'll find Slash up there with a bullet in his shoulder. And here's his guns.

[Jingles]

You shot him.

[Aunt Sarah]

Sure, I shot him. And if you hadn't been so stingy with the ammunition when you tossed me that gun I'd have shot this other one too.

[Jingles]

What a woman.

[Aunt Sarah]

The idea of them two busting into my hotel tracking dirt into my clean kitchen and then making a mess of all my housekeeping.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, Jingles, looks like the last part of our job. And Red Dog has been done for us.

[Jingles]

Yeah. Now we can get back to Santa Fe and catch up on our sleep.

[Aunt Sarah]

Oh, no, you can't. After you turn in your prisoners, you come right back here and help me get this hotel in shape. And after that, I may buy a few more buildings around town. With a woman's touch and a few neighbors moving in this could be a real peaceful place to live.

[Jingles]

Oh, me? Maybe so. But I got a hunch there ain't gonna be no peace for anybody with Aunt Sarah around. Aunt Sarah, you're a real determined woman.

[Aunt Sarah]

I couldn't have done a thing without you. And Billy Pie.

[Jingles]

Billy P.

[Narrator]

And now, here are the stars of Wild Bill Hickok, Guy Madison and Andy Devine.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, that was the story of Aunt Sarah's gunfight. Andy, what's the story on Monday about Guy?

[Jingles]

There's hot lead and hard riding aplenty in our next adventure called Thunder and Lightning.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

So long, kids.

[Jingles]

See you Monday.
