Key Discussion Points & Plot Breakdown

1. Jingles’ Capture and Rady’s Scheme

• [03:29] The episode opens with a dramatic setup: Jingles is ambushed by Rady and his gang, who plan to use him as leverage against Wild Bill.
• Jingles banters despite danger:

  "If I don't hit our Santa Fe office by sundown, Bill's gonna come thundering down your trail like a double twistin’ Texas tornado."
  —Jingles [05:15]

• Rady reveals his plan to lure Wild Bill into a trap, using Jingles as bait.

2. Wild Bill’s Lone Investigation

• [05:56] Wild Bill, unaware of Jingles’ fate, rides from ranch to ranch seeking clues. Confrontations with hostile outlaws escalate the tension.
• Bill faces down the outlaws:

  "Now, mister, you're gonna tell me the truth. I'll find Jingles if I have to wade through a whole pasture full of varmints like you, Mart."
  —Wild Bill [06:59]

• Rady and his gang hold the advantage, threatening Jingles’ life if Bill does not back down.

3. The Plot Thickens: Jingles as "Ace in the Hole"

• [10:45] Rady articulates his calculated approach, using legally acquired horses and saddles to disguise a criminal plot. He plans something "big" and intends to keep Jingles alive as insurance against Bill’s interference.

4. Wild Bill and Jingles Reunited—A Risky Strategy

• [11:09] Wild Bill secretly sneaks into the barn to check on Jingles. The two quickly strategize:

  "You got a mighty good chance to find out, you know."
  —Wild Bill urging Jingles to play along as prisoner [12:47]

• Bill encourages Jingles to use his position as Rady’s captive to gather intel, promising to stay close for a rescue.

5. Discovering the Outlaws’ Real Target

• [15:30] Jingles observes suspicious activity:
  • Many horses and saddles, hired rather than stolen (“They bought those from the Thunder Mountain ranch today” [15:42]).
  • Outlaws talk about riding 20 miles—possibly to Bloomfield for a bank holdup, but Bill suspects something bigger.
• Bill decides to telegraph the sheriff and promises to return.

6. The Barn Inferno—Narrow Escape

• [18:39] Captured, both Wild Bill and Jingles are tied to a post as the outlaws set fire to the barn to cover their escape.

  "Why don’t I just set a little fire in the corner of the barn? It’ll save burying these two lawmen."
  —Mart [18:46]

• Bill and Jingles work together, breaking free just before the flames consume the barn.

  "I'm free, partner."
  —Wild Bill [23:14]

7. The Real Heist: A Prison Break

• [23:34] Jingles finally grasps the true plot:

  "North—Bloomfield’s south."
  —Jingles [23:45]
  Bill realizes Rady isn’t targeting a bank; he plans to bust out convicts from the Territorial Penitentiary, using the extra horses for their getaway.
  "Rady’s gonna build his gang by helping a bunch of convicts break out of the pen."
  —Wild Bill [23:54]

8. Wild Bill’s Counterattack

• [24:03] Bill goes to warn the prison warden via telegram, and hustles with Jingles to intercept Rady’s gang at the penitentiary.
• Guards are ready—they received the warning in time.

  "Those guards on the wall are standin' ready and his gang off."
  —Wild Bill [25:42]

9. Final Showdown and Capture

• [26:04] Amid flying bullets and galloping horses, Wild Bill and Jingles personally confront and apprehend Rady and Mart, preventing the break and rounding up the entire gang:

  "Now you varmints are gonna have a fight on your hands... I'm riding right down your throat!"
  —Jingles [26:07]
  "You think you’ve got nine lives, Marshals? Now I’m gonna beat them all."
  —Rady [26:35]

• Bill demonstrates his marksmanship and courage, subduing Rady in the climactic moment:

  "They shouldn't have led with your chin, outlaw."
  —Wild Bill [26:46]

10. Postscript—A Bit of Comic Relief

• [27:01] The duo wrap things up outside the penitentiary gates, with Jingles providing his trademark humor:

  "This is a right good idea catching outlaws just outside the prison gate. Saves a lot of wear and tear on saddle leather. Not that I’m lazy, you understand. I was just born a little bit tired."
  —Jingles [27:01]

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Jingles’ colorful Western lingo:

  "You sand lizard, you shot two holes right through it. I got a good."
  [04:52]

• Outlaw banter and bravado:

  "If he shows his face around here, you both get it. It'll give you something to dream about, big Bo."
  —Rady [14:53]

• Tension in the burning barn:

  "We ain’t got long to live unless we can do something."
  —Jingles [22:20]

• Closing heroism:

  "Let’s pick him up and take him to the warden. He’s got enough to hold him on, too."
  —Wild Bill [26:56]

Often have mom look for the package of Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops with the pictures of Guy Madison and Andy Devine riding on the front. Men of the west seldom saw United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok without his faithful friend and deputy Jingles riding alongside. But there was once when Jingles turned up missing. Then blazing six guns traced the path of Wild Bill's search across the badlands to pull his partner from the jaws of double action danger.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie where the wild coyotes will howl o' er me in the narrow grave. Get down. Hey, watch what you're doing.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Don't go for them guns, Deputy. It's a short trip to Boot Hill from here.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

All right, you salamanders got the drop on me.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

That's right, jughead. Now you can start riding straight down the trail. We got plans for you.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

And he oughta catch up to us by sometime tomorrow morning if he's as good as I hear he is.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

And by that time we'll be all set for him. Things is working out just like you said they would, Rady. Working out just fine.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Here's another ranch house buckshot. Oh, boy. Who. Howdy there, mister.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, what do you want?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Just want to ask a question or two.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Well, no need to get out of your saddle. We ain't got no use for strangers here. And I ain't answering no questions, so get to riding.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Now hold on.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm looking For a friend of mine.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Big fella.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

The chest like a cracker barrel and a voice like a banshee.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

With the croup.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You seen him?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

If I'd have seen anything like that, I'd have shot it on sight. Now get back on that horse before this rifle starts talking.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hey, now, wait a minute. Your face is familiar. Don't they call you Shifty Mart over in Dry River?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

I warned you, Hickok. Now I'm going to show so you.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Know who I am.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Why, you tin horn. Stop, Hacke.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now, mister, you're gonna tell me the truth.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

I ain't telling you nothing.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Have you seen Jingles?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Here's your answer, lawman.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, well, here's my next question. Now get up from there. No, you don't. Leave that rifle alone.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

All right.

[Narrator (Kellogg's Wild Bill Hickok)]

All right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now, I'm gonna have a look around this place. I'll find Jingles if I have to wade through a whole pasture full of varmints like you, Martin.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Shingles ain't here, I tell you.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'll satisfy myself about that.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Now move. I'd take his word for Hickok if I was you. Well, ready, Quirk?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Things are looking right peculiar around here.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

What took you so long, Rady? He's looking.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Don't scratch leather, Hickok. This gun ain't enough. There's four more behind them windows aimed right for your wishbone.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

And four more guns means a gang. You didn't learn anything at the pen, did you, Rady?

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Sure, Hickok. I learned a lot.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm warning you, Rady.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

And I'm warning you, Hickok. Jingles is in that barn yonder with a six gun. Press tight to his hollow head. One move out of you and you'll hear a shot, Bluey. No more Jingles, Brady.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're digging your grave. Steady that buckshot.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Now you're getting smart, Hickok.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're holding spades now, mister. But I'll be back.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Maybe you don't hear so good, marshal. Now, I'm gonna make it real plain. If you want to see Jingles again you're gonna ride right back to your Santa Fe office and stay there.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Don't count on it. Ready? All right, Buckshot, let's ride.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Say maybe a lot of you wranglers sometimes get to thinking about what you'd like to be when you grow up. Well, one thing you want to keep in mind is that whatever you want to be, make sure it's something you'll enjoy doing. That's real important. And that's important too when you select a breakfast cereal for yourself. That's why I'm always telling all you wranglers about how good Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops are. But you find out for yourself. You can have them for breakfast or eat them as a snack right out of the box. You never add sugar because the sweetening is already on them. They're shot with sugar. So have mom pick up a large package of Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops when she shops. She can tell the right package if she remembers to look for Guy and Andy riding their horses across the front. That's Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yippee.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Sugar Pops. They're sugar coated. Tastes sweet. Just pour on some milk, boy, they're neat. Kellogg Sugar Corn Pops. Sugar Pops. Now Sugar Pops, you know our sweets.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

But cowboys know there's an extra treat.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Right out of the box. Take a handful out, pop them into your mouth as you run about. Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops. Sugar Pops are Pops.

[Narrator (Kellogg's Wild Bill Hickok)]

Righty Quirt, an ex convict, had organized a new gang and conceived a shrewd plan to remove Wild Bill Hickok as a threat to his outlaw operations. First he captured Jingles, then forced Bill to back down to save his partner's life. But Wild Bill had promised to return. And that night, a long shadow stretched out in the moonlight behind the outlaw's barn.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Just a little closer to the barn.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Buck Trout.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Boy, this is good enough. Quiet now, boy, stand there. I'm gonna try to find Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Dog gun. You varmints. You wait a while. Bill tracks you down your breath, Lord.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Barrel Hick's been here and gone.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Not for long, mister.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Now don't you go hoorain me, you lowlife salamander. Bill ain't one to be fooled by the likes of you.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Ah, Dryer. Bad enough to have to sit out here guarding a big baboon like you without having to listen to you.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yeah, a waste of time, ain't it?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

I figured it is, but Rady didn't.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

I got no more chance of getting away than nothing. You got me hog tied and chained to a post. Besides, if you went into the house, you could bring me a drink of water.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

You're thirsty, huh?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Sure. You could just tell Rady I was thirsty.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

You ain't going no place. That's a cinch.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Don't forget my water.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

I'll get it in my own good time.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

He's gone, Bill, all right. Jingles. Suffering Sand. Please, Bill. I thought he said you'd been and gone.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I had, partner. I just came back time in.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Let me get out of here.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm not so sure that's a good idea, Jingle.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Huh? Now what are you getting at?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

How they treating you?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

No, they ain't hurting me none. Getting fed and watered as regular as a horse. But what's that got to do with it? Come on now, let's.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now, wait a minute, partner. You know what they're up to yet?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

No, I don't. But it's something big.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You got a mighty good chance to find out, you know.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

You mean if I stayed here as their prisoner? I'm Bill Hickok. I just.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I won't be far away. They plan to kill us. We'd both be laid out by now.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Well, I don't like it, but I'll do it good.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

How many men has Rady got?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Well, I've seen five so far.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Must be close to 20 saddles in this barn. What would you do?

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Get back to that Barney Featherhead and don't leave Jingles alone no more.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Bill, you've got to get out of here. Mart's coming back.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Yeah.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You pump that march Jasper for information. I'll check back before sunup.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Good luck, partner.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Good luck, he says dog on it. Sometimes I got a mind equip as well. Business of being a lawman right now is one of those times.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

You must be getting soft, Brady.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

What gives you that idea, Mark?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Why did you go and pay out good money for that string of horses? We could have taken them off old man Wilson ranch easy.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

And get hauled up for rustling, huh? You Ain't using your head, Mark. I got big plans. No Penny, Aunty stuff, I hope you.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Know what you're doing.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Now look, I sat in the pen for four years figuring this all out. I know what I'm doing. Now let's go check on that big deputy. He's our ace in the hole.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, I still ain't so sure about Hickok staying in town like you told.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Him you'll stay all right. Okay, Shorty, you can go tend the horses. Mart will take over here.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

How much longer you varmints gonna keep me tied up like a hog fattening for the fair?

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

By this time tomorrow night, I ain't gonna care what happens to you. Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

What time is it?

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Some past midnight. And time you was getting your sleep. Mart, you'd better stretch one of them saddles out here and get your 40 winks.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Not on the ground. I'm sleeping up on the loft where it's soft.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

You must figure to do a lot of riding with all them saddles.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Nah, 20 miles ain't no riding.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Shut up, Marsh. What he don't know won't hurt him.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

He don't bother me. It's Hickok I'm thinking about.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Well, I'm smart enough to out figure Hickok and he knows I'm not fooling. If he shows his face around here, you both get it. It'll give you something to dream about. Big Bo.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Glad to see you. Oh, Bill, that. That Mart is sleeping up in the hay loft. Now you be quiet.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right. You learn anything? I don't know.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

They drove a small herd of horses into that krill outside about me.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, they bought those from the Thunder Mountain ranch today.

[Narrator (Kellogg's Wild Bill Hickok)]

Bottom.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

That don't seem like something they'd do.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, I thought that too, partner. What else?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Well, I counted those saddles. There's 24 of them. They took them all out earlier.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Saddles and horses mean men and riding.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

That's what I told them.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

What'd they say?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Mart said 20 miles wasn't much riding.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

20 miles, huh?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yeah. They must be gonna hold up a bank or something 20 miles from here. Now what town would that be? Bloomfield.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

They say anything about a bank?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

No, but what else would they be doing?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I don't know. It won't hurt to warn the sheriff, though. I'll go tap the telegraph wire and be back in a half an hour.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Hey, Bill, now something else.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Rady said he wouldn't care what happened to me by this time tomorrow night. Does that mean anything?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

It means we've got 24 hours to find out what it is and catch them in the actual. Sit tight, partner. I'll be back.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Sit tight? What else can I do? Doggone it.

[Narrator (Kellogg's Wild Bill Hickok)]

Mark.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

So the great Wild Bill Hickok's gonna go warn the sheriff and come back in a half hour.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

You long eared coyote. You was listening all the time.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Sure, and I could have plugged your tin horn, Marshall. Right between the eyes. But Rady didn't want no killing.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Hey, now where you going?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

I reckon Hickok's out of earshot now. Going to get ready down here, Prado.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Now what was that for?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

That ought to bring radio running. When he comes back, he's going to get the biggest reception he ever had. And it's going to be his last one.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

You set, Mark?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, but why don't he come? I'm getting fed up with waiting.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Take it easy and don't go to sleep. He'll be here.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Here he is.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Not a peep out of you, Jingles, or you're a dead goose.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Down, Bill. Goose Chuckhead.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Blast him, boy. Oh, you missed him. Watch him now.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Flat cover, Bill. There's five of them hid out in here. Gotcha, partner.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Here he is by the harness rack.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Missed again. Rady, you varmint, you ain't doing so good. No, no, Bill. Not under the law. Mark. Got you ready, Bella cow.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Nice work, Marsh. That bale of hay knocked him colder than a mackerel. They've killed them too. All right, boys, tie them up.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

You low down sidewinders. You ain't got the sand to let me lose for two minutes. I'd grind the five of you into cow feed.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Why, you're lucky you ain't bothered. Business for the corner right now. You beefed up saddle tramp. It just don't happen to fit my plan.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, we should have plugged them.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

We ain't got time. Get out there and saddle up them 20 other Bronx and string them together. We're gonna be late for the boys. They're breaking out in four hours.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Well, I got them all saddled good. But Rady, we can't take a chance on Hickok getting loose. I got an idea.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

All right, spill it.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

We ain't coming back here. Why don't I just set a little fire in the corner of the barn? It'll save burying these two lawmen.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Dog on them murdering Gila monsters. Bill. Bill. Okay, come on, Bill, wake up. Fire's catching hold. That's it, Bill. Now, come on, wake up. We ain't got long to live unless we can do something.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Dingo. Partner, what happened?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Oh, one of them salamanders bounced a big bale of hay on top of your head and dropped you like a rabbit.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I smell smoke.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

I ain't surprised. The whole corner of this doggone barn is burning right behind you. I ain't staying here for the finish.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're trying to break this post. You picked yourself a big job, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

No, I'll break it on my back. One or the other. Something's gotta give.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Then let's get together on it.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

You ready? Yeah.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

All right, now push.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yeah. Up at the top.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right, once more.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Gardner.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Flat.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

How'd you come out, Bill?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Right on my face. Let's see if we can work these ropes off the post.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Mine are already off. I'm just about loose.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Not much time. That fire's getting fast.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

There now, Bill. Who needs your ropes?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm free, partner.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Hey, look up there. The ropes came in. Run for it, partner. Those varmints are near figuring us for angels, Bill.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Yeah.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Too close for cover, rather. We're free. Where they get to?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Come to think of it, I still don't know. They just said they had to meet somebody that was making a break for it in four hours. Then they rode off north.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

North Bloomfield, South.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Hey, that's right. Well, what do you reckon making a break means, jingles?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

20 miles north. That means a territorial penitentiary.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

The pin.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

But what about accounts for those extra horses? Lady's gonna build his gang by helping a bunch of convicts break out of the pen. Jingles, we got to stop those jaspers.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Now, just how do you figure to do that?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Get a telegram to the warden with a warning first. And burn a trail right up that Rady's back.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Let's.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, Rady. I sure gotta hand it to you for planning out this whole jailbreak.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

I gotta hand it to you for thinking to burn that barn and get Hickok and Jingles out of my way.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

You reckon the rest of it'll go smooth?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Sure.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

There's a prison walls right ahead of us. I'll bet Bald Red is starting the play already.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Well, we got the horses. What do we do? Just ride up to the gates and.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Wait See that competition trees south of the main tower. Yeah. Head for those, Shorty.

[Narrator (Kellogg's Wild Bill Hickok)]

Ned.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Cut them over.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

That spot's right under their coons, Brady.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Are they going to know what we're up to?

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Oh, yeah, I get you.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Head these cayuses in those trees. Shorty.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Hey, what's going on?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Poo boy.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Here, Pull it up, you bird.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Pull now.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Whoa.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Whoa. Oh, really.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

They're wise. Somebody warned them.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

You're crazy. Nobody knew but us and Hickok. And he's dead.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Well, maybe his ghost sent him a message.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Ah, shut up. It's going to upset my plans. Now unliver them rifles, you jugheads, and.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Pick off the guards on that wall. You listen to that, Bill. Reckon the warden got your telegram all right.

[Mark (Outlaw)]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Jingles, those guards on the wall are standing ready and his gang off.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yeah. Then it looks like we'd better move in and wrap them up.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Just what I was thinking, partner. Unholster those six guns and let's turn their hands.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Go there, boy. Yeah. Now I'll bet that gazelle's jaspers something to think about. Look alive, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

They spotted us coming in.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Now you varmints are gonna have a fight on your hands. Look out. Cause I'm riding right down your throat.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Three of em are showing the colors, partner.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

There's the main two we want Bill straight ahead.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You take Mart.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

I'll get ready. Burn up. All right, you ring tailed owl. Hoot. Holla. Come on, Hickok. I got a load of lead just waiting for you. You got a gun, Bill. And I got a rope on Mart.

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

You think you've got nine lives, Marshals? Now I'm gonna beat them all.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're welcome to try.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Ready?

[Rady (Outlaw Leader)]

Here goes all.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

They shouldn't have led with your chin, outlaw.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

We, Bill, I'll bet that coyote will remember that jolt every day of his next 10 years in prison.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right, Jingles, let's pick him up and take him to the warden. He's got enough to hold him on too.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Jingles)]

Yeah. Say, Bill, this is a right good idea catching our outlaws just outside the prison gate. Saves a lot of wear and tear on saddle leather. Not that I'm lazy, you understand. I was just born a little bit tired.
