When I got a new car, I thought my insurance premium would increase and empty my bank account like if Fatween won the lottery. I've invested most of my winnings in chicken tenders because they're bomb. But bro, I bought a house and it's sick, bro. I'm thinking the floor is going to be all trampoline, bro. With a helipad on the roof. The contractor said it's structurally unsound, but they're just being babies. But switching to GEICO saved me hundreds. So my bank account is safe. It feels good to save some hard earned cash. It feels good to geico. Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines. And let's get into this episode. This episode is going to be All Star Western Theater Original air date is October 18, 1947 and the title is Cupid's Agent. Let's get into it and I hope you enjoy. By transcription the Bakers of Weber's Bread present your All Star Western Theater. Sing along. Singing a song under a Western moon. From Hollywood comes your All Star Western Theater starring America's great western singers, Boy Willing and the writers of the Purple Sage. Bringing you the music, the stories and the spirit of the great open spaces. Now to raise the curtain, the writers of the Purple Sage and singing a song of the sage Listen to the song of the wind Listen to the song of the rain Listen to a song of the sage brush Calling to me again Me and my pony are free Singing a song of the sage we never care where we be we never work for a way we live a life of leisure here on the desert drive we never search for a treasure we want nothing gold can buy we lose the cares of our rain Sing in a song of the same Sing in a song of the same. Boy it's come to my notice that this new song, Arizona in the Morning is another that you and Sid Robin have written. You're right, Bob. A Westerner just has to express his love for the west in one way or another. Sid and I try to do it with music, hoping we'll sell the west to somebody new and bring the spirit of the west to somebody who's away and longing for it. Arizona in the morning is our feelings about a really great state. Arizona in the morning that's where heavenly comes the dawn up in the sky hear the west wind softly blowing Listen to the rooster going high. Oh my honey where it's sunny lies such a song. See the desert painted gold that's the place where we belong. Mother Nature comes upon Arizona in the morning that's my home. Sa. Hear the west wind softly blowing through the rooster storm and high. On my honey where it's sunny Life at the desert painted gold that's the place where we belong and love adventure comes along Arizona the morning. You know, there's something about the west that appeals to most everyone. Maybe it's the thought of adventure. Maybe it's the carefree western spirit. Maybe it's just the feeling of space. Anyhow, it is mighty appealing. And that's the way it is with Weber's bread. Folks like it for lots of reasons. That tender, rich flavor, for instance, the way it stays fresh longer, it's appetizing evenly baked crust. But most folks don't try to figure it out. They just know Weber's bread tastes mighty fine and that's what they want. Bread is important right now, you know? So it's a good idea to buy the bread your family likes and assured a finish to the very last slice. Next time you buy bread, reach for Weber's, the good fresh bread in the blue and white gingham wrapper. Hey guys, lady luck here. Are you going on any road trips this summer?

Well, it's time now for Foy Willing and the writers of the Purple Sage to tell us another of their adventures in the web. This week they've called their story the Rabbit Chaw Cave, which, as you well know, lies in Moss Valley, has twice been a place where history was made. The first was when Indians were forced into the cave and kept there until they surrendered. The second was when Trigger Bill Weaver used it as a hideout and was captured. In both cases, those who use the caves met disaster. Thus has come a superstition that it brings bad luck. But now, in the warm son of autumn, there seems little chance that the cave or the valley will ever again be a place of more than contentment. At least, so thought the riders of the Purple Sage as they rode lazily across the valley. No troubles of their own weighed them down, and the troubles of others seemed slight. Hardly worth talking about. Sure could have eaten half a dozen eggs for breakfast. Yeah, me too. I'd give a lot to know why everybody turned us down. We tried to buy some. I'm kind of inclined to believe folks were telling the truth and that somebody has been robbing the nest. Robbing nests and not bothering to take along the chickens. That don't sound sensitive. Maybe a weasel's doing it. The kind of a weasel who knows about the high price of eggs these days, I reckon. Hey, Willen boy. Willen, listen. Wait there, Willen. I want to kill you. Yeah. That's Sheriff Rice and a posse, ain't it? Howdy, Sheriff. Howdy. Must be tracking down an egg thief, huh? Yeah. Mighty glad we run into you, Howard. Yeah, Howie, you find out anything about the egg thief? Sheriff, the egg thief? What egg thief? For a week now, hen nests around here. Looking for a man who's escaped from the state insane asylum a local cut away 10 days ago. There's every reason to believe he's headed this way. Maybe he's still in the 8. Man, about 55, medium height, slightly bow legged. We haven't seen any strangers at all, Sheriff. Just came through the patch last night. Well, he's dangerous. We've got to find him before an accident happens. Well, if it'll help, we'll be glad to join you in the hunt. Well, that's what I wanted to hear. Come on, boys. We'll go over this territory with a fine tooth comb. We'll either get this hombre or we'll make sure he's not in our county. Sheriff. Sheriff. Brian. All it, man. This way over to south cave. All right, boy. Let's go, man. What you find, boy? You haven't got him, have you? Well, there's footprints leading into the cave and none leading out. Figure we hadn't better pass up anything. Only a stranger would use the cave. Nobody around here. Bad luck. Suppose I take Al and Johnny, Sheriff? We'll go in. All right. Don't take any chances, though. Dangerous. Let him get past, then signal to us. We'll nab him out here. Right. You men surround the entrance. Have your guns ready, but don't use them unless I give the word. Al. Johnny, let's go. This is the first time I ever had anything to do with a loco. Presently I hope we don't find him. No chances, boys. Let us get him out here. We'll be all right, Sheriff. Al, you go in at the outfit wall. Johnny, we'll go in on this one. Sure hope he ain't got a shooting iron. Can't tell about such things. We'll just take it easy. See anything? Not yet. Keep moving in. Come overhead. Hold it, Johnny. It's who we are. I'm on gun. Ready, John? Yeah. We'll try every other way before shooting, but be ready. Hey boy. Johnny, come here quick. You got him? No, but look. Eggs. Here's the egg that's been stolen. Who cares about eggs? Hundreds of them. Hundreds of eggs. But what's happened to them? I'll tell you what's happened. They've been dyed. Them eggs all been colored. Look. Red eggs. Green eggs. Purple blue. Hey, Cutin. Willen. We got him. Come on, let's go boys. Sheriff's got the local and your horses. We found them all under. Brought that pipe ground. Look, they got out by another entrance. Come on. I tell you he is in this cabin. Sheriff. We saw him come in. Yeah, but we've examined every square inch of space here. Well, he couldn't have gotten out. Your men surrounded the cabin and they're still surrounding. He's not here though. You fellas continue the search. But Al and Johnny and I are going to stay right here. All right now. Hope you find them. Anything is better than having a desperate lunatic at large. We'll call your office if we have any luck. How come we're staying for it? We saw a man come into the cabin and we know he didn't go out. Then he must still be here, huh? Elma. Boy, is that you? Where are you? I don't see you. Just a minute. Lucky to. Well, she's a local. Would know me. Look at there. A board in the floor is raising up a man. A man's coming out from beneath the floor. Yeah, they're. They're almost happy I bird teeth under the floor. And here. Nothing like a good bird Hide out in. Easy, Al. Take it easy. You know who I am, don't you Al? Well, I'll be a multi horned varmint with a twist of tail. You don't. I'm Uncle Edgar. Uncle Edgar? Papa's brother, remember? Well, I have known Uncle Edgar, but I ain't seen him in years. Why I come all this way to find you out in here. Ten days more or less. Trying to get in touch. Headed to your diggings as soon as I escape from the booby hatch. From the. Oh, he's in all right. What you looking like that for? You don't think I'm local, do you? Well, to tell the truth, I don't even know if you are on collector. I had an uncle by that name but I lost track of him years ago. Look at me, Al. Easy, Al. I got my rope ready. See anything familiar? All I see is you're wiggling your ears like a mule does rabbit like a rabbit does. Don't the ear wiggling bring back no memories to you? I say that it does. Autumn I was famous for my wiggin ears. Why, when you was a little fellow, you used to come over to my house and Bolshebai three meals out of seven. Never fail once to ask me to wig my ears because he'd give you that three bitten great pony when you were sick. I remember the pony, but you must be my uncle. Who else could remember them things? No, can't blame you none. It's been a long time. All the good things happened then before I was railroaded to the booby hatch. Railroad it? Oh yes. In laws did it. Right after gold was discovered on the land. He was still a little tight boy. What do you think? Well, I'm willing to take a chance. Instead of turning your uncle over to the sheriff, I'd like to take him back to camp with us. Mister, if you're willing to spend a day or two as sort of half prisoner, I'll do anything, just anything for a chance. All right. We haven't made up our minds about you. But when we do, you've got a promise that you'll abide by our decision. Whether it's to turn you over to the authorities or to fight for your freedom. That's got to be understood. Oh, before we bed down, I want to thank you, boy, for the chance you're taking. Well, there's no hurry about bedding down Uncle Edgar. We don't mind sitting up for a while. I was thinking about the campfire. Sure. It might still be out. We'll take care of you. Yeah. Yeah, it's sure nice here. Wish I could have made it out in the booby hat sooner. Always had it in mind to get in touch with you, Al. Then I'd think, well, maybe Al's like all the rest of them. Nobody nowadays believes a fella can be railroaded into the booby hat. Just can't happen, they say. But there's more than one man locked up right now who's just as sane as me. Once they get a doctor to say you ought to be put away, what chance have you got? Nobody can come near you. You can't go near anybody else. A fellow's just helpless. I reckon we better take this matter to somebody high up. Don't you force to the president. We'll go Right to the President. The governor of the state is the man we want to feed, Johnny. Well, let's see him then. Let's bust this thing wide open. You go ahead and bed down if you're tired, Uncle Edgar. We'll sit up for a while and make plans for riding on into the state capitol tomorrow. Won't do no good to go tomorrow for tomorrow's Sunday. Yeah, that's right, it is. Is this Sunday? Is tomorrow Sunday? Sure is, Uncle Edgar. My, how time passes when you're out. Sure slow in there though. Feel sorry than ever for the fellows who've been railroaded very same as I am. Oh, before I get my shut eye, I'd like to suggest we stomp on the ground with our hind feet of signals in case anything goes wrong this way. That'll be the signal for danger three times. And to show everything's clear again, suppose we stomp our hind feet five times like this. All right, fine. Uncle Edgar. You agree as far as Johnny, right? Well, tomorrow, Sunday. Better get some shut ey night. Poor fella, he sure had it tough. How Johnny? I'm not going to wait even until tomorrow to do something for him. I'm going to start out right now. I'm for that. You two stay here and watch out for him. I'm riding hard and I'll bring help of one kind or another by. Hey everybody. Lady luck here. And we're celebrating America's 250th birthday.

You have a night for yourself but don't like the sound of the silence so you turn on the TV just for the ambiance. It's a little trick that helps you feel like you've got company and aren't alone. And other insurers, well, they may make you feel alone, but when you switch to geico, you've got claims reps available around the clock. So whenever you need you'll have people around to help. And let's turn on the washing machine just for good measure. Isn't that soothing? It feels good to have support. It feels good to Geico. Boy, taking this so hard. You think Uncle Edgar was his uncle poison. Awful nice guy. Tenderhearted. Sure is. Hey, what's Uncle Edgar doing now? Digging a hole, looks like. Hey, Uncle Edgar, what are you doing? Burrowing. Burrowing? So I'll have a nice cold place to sleep. You mean you sleep in a hole? Why, sure. Nice and warm. Besides, nobody can find you if you do that. Especially if you pull twigs and grass over the top. Okay, go ahead, Johnny. Must be awful to feel people are hunting you all the time. Sure must be. Think of it written in the hole in the ground. Johnny. Al. Wake up, you arm reef. Yes. Good morning already. Where's Uncle Edgar? He's sleeping over there in the holy dug a hole. Sleeping in a hole? Yeah, right. Wait a minute. He's gone. Tell me something's happened to Uncle Edgar. I'll bet he fine guard you are. Me? Riding all night long, trying to. Gee. Well, we must have slept right through. Wait a minute, Somebody's coming. Oh, well, is that you? Howdy, Sheriff. I've got more trouble on my hands. Eggs are being stolen from the ranches hereabouts. Why, we told you that yesterday, Sheriff. Yeah, first I heard about it was this morning. Half a dozen Easter eggs was left in front of my door. I investigated, found the same thing that happened all over town. Hey, howdy folks. What? Why, there's Uncle Edgar. Yeah, kind of early. Now. Wait a minute. There's the local. There's the local I was looking for yesterday. Hold on now, Sheriff. Keep your hands off here. He's been on the loose. Take it easy, Sheriff. You promised to protect me, boy. Now you said you protection. Sheriff or no Sheriff, if you lay a hand on my Uncle Edgar, you'll answer to me. And me too. There's been a little misunderstanding here, Sheriff. This fella's description tallies exactly. I know all about that. He's the man you want. But he was railroaded into the lunatic asylum. Oh, that's not possible. Not in this day and age. Well, it sure happened. Gold was discovered on Uncle Edgar's ranch and his in laws framed him. Are you speaking the truth, boy? Well, figure it out for yourself, Sheriff. If some doctor could be bribed to declare a fellow insane and a judge were to sign the commitment papers, what chance would a man have? Once he's inside, he can't communicate with authorities. They can't communicate with him unless they fight to do it. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Locked up like that almost 20 years, weren't you, Uncle Edgar? And all because gold was found on your end. Well, try it all on account of the gold. Something else too. Uncle Edgar. Most folks don't want to believe in me. They swear up and down there ain't no such thing as an Easter rabbit. What? Easter rabbit? So they locked me up. Then of course I couldn't do more. Easter rabbit. Them died, eh? Get away from me now. Get away. This is Sunday and I'm not finished my work. No Newton boys. Use the rope. Well, I got more eggs to do. Oh, you can wiggle your ears, can you? And stomp on the ground with your hinds feet for signal you sleep in a burrow. Where's the pig? In the spring, throw twigs and grass over the top so you can't be seen. I tell you, you can't do this to the Easter rabbits. It's wrong. I ain't took my eggs to all the houses yet. You can't do this to the Easter rabbit. We sure won't ever be able to ride through this county again. That sheriff wanting to lock us up for hiding and protecting the man who'd escaped from an insane asylum. You can be thankful for one thing though, Al. Me? Sure. We sent a telegram and found out your Uncle Edgar is still living on his own ranch. And that this fellow's just hombre who used to work for your uncle. Yeah, I'm thankful about that. Sure would be awful to have an Easter bunny in the family. Hey everybody. Lady luck here. And we're celebrating America's 250th birthday.

You pop into the shop for five minutes and all of a sudden you've forgotten where you parked. Car. Car. Unfortunately, that lost feeling is what it's like trying to manage your policy with other insurers here. Car. Come out, come out, wherever you are. Please. With Geico, you can use the app to easily manage all your policies in one place. Did this parking lot have a waterfall? I think you've wandered too far, mate. It feels good to find what you're looking for. It feels good to Geico. Well, you know, after an adventure like that, the boys aren't going to believe all they hear. And very little of what they see. But there's something the boys always believe in, and that's Weber's Bread. Like thousands and thousands of Southern California housewives, they know Weber's is always satisfying because the flavors are natural. Just the baked right goodness of fine ingredients. Seems like you don't have to tell the kids to eat the crust when you serve Weber's bread. Every bite is tender and flavor rich. Remember, Weber's bread isn't just a filler inner, it's a basic energy food, good to the last crumb. So be sure to buy Weber's the bread in the blue and white gingham wrapper. Now it's time for that kind of western music which deserves to be heard over and over again, carrying on as it does the real spirit and the real traditions of the West. Today, we've chosen one which does all that and more. The Writers of the Purple Sage Sing Tumbling Tumbleweed.

When I scraped my car in that parking garage, I was worried that it could be a long process to take care of it. Like a landscaper's first day trimming a hedge maze. I have definitely already been here. Now was it left right or right left? Well, maybe I'll cut a path out and find my way back later, but it wasn't like that. I filed a claim in under two minutes on the Geico app and they handled it from there. It was taken care of almost as quickly as it happened. It feels good to get help quick.
