• They notice strange disturbances—ducks startled, voices from the lake. Wild Bill’s suspicion is piqued.

3. Discovery at the Cabin (09:40–13:37)

• Bill and Jingles knock without answer, discover through the window a man slumped over—“he’s dead”—but upon breaking down the door, find he’s barely alive, shot by a silver bullet.

• Bill collects the telltale silver bullet from the cabin wall, confirming the connection to the prior attacks.

Chase and Capture (24:40–27:05)

• Wild Bill and Jingles give chase on horseback, cornering Darren and Blaze after a brief struggle for the rifle.
• Blaze confesses Darren’s scheme, revealing he was blackmailed into murder attempts.
  • Blaze: “Darren here has been holding that over my head to try to make me do his silver bullet killings for him.” (25:59)
• Wild Bill apprehends Darren, suggesting Blaze may get leniency for his cooperation.
• Jingles (grumbling): “No, to remind me not to listen to your hunches, Bill... I haven’t been to bed since. I’m a growing boy and I need my sleep.” (27:05)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Darren's Self-Importance:
  • “I supply the brains and the nerve. Others do the work and take the chances.” (04:22)

Tone and Style

The episode maintains the witty, fast-paced banter typical of Old Time Radio Westerns. Jingles' bumbling but loyal humor counters Wild Bill’s steadfast heroism. The mood shifts seamlessly from suspense (the ambush and lake scene) to lightheartedness (Jingles’ complaints and jibes), maintaining an entertaining blend for family listening.

[Narrator]

In their dangerous of bringing law and order to the Old West, United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his big deputy Jingles many times rode with six guns and sudden death. But never were the guns more deadly or death closer than when they followed the trail of seven silver bullet.

[Darren]

A little closer to the shore, my friend. As usual, I'd like to do the job with just one shot.

[Blaze]

If you're so particular, why don't you paddle the canoe?

[Darren]

That's your job, Blaze. I supply the brains and the nerve. Others do the work and take the chances.

[Blaze]

Yeah, that's the way you operate. But someday one of the poor suckers that does your dirty work for you is gonna sneak up behind you and blow out them fancy brains of yours.

[Darren]

It won't be you, Blaze. You haven't the nerve. If you ever try to leave me or kill me, all the papers that I have hidden will be delivered to the law. You know what that means? You'll wind up at the end of a rope.

[Blaze]

All right. I know it. So shut up.

[Jingles]

Shh.

[Darren]

Quietly, my friend. We don't want your quarry to hear us coming.

[Blaze]

He's not my quarry. You're the one that wants him shot. I'm no killer.

[Darren]

Ah, but you are. You killed before, and I have the proof.

[Blaze]

All right. I killed a man in a fight. I didn't sneak up in a canoe and shoot him in the back.

[Darren]

This will be a new experience, won't it? Live closer to the bank players.

[Blaze]

What's that?

[Darren]

Just a bullfrog. You are nervous, aren't you?

[Blaze]

Of course I'm nervous.

[Darren]

Very well. Let's get it over with. Stop the canoe. Good Lamp burning on the table. And there he sits. That should be an easy shot.

[Blaze]

Darren, you're not even human.

[Darren]

Oh, but I am human enough to want the power and the money that the man in there has tried to keep me from getting. He is in my way, Blaze. Get rid of him.

[Blaze]

No, I won't do it.

[Darren]

Very well. When they hang you for murder, I should be very happy to attend.

[Blaze]

All right, give me the rifle.

[Darren]

There it is. Loaded with just one silver bullet, so don't miss.

[Blaze]

Yeah, I know. If I don't get him with one shot, you'll turn me in, too. I won't miss. What's that?

[Darren]

Wild ducks. Hundreds of them. Paddle out onto the lake before someone hears all the noise and comes to investigate.

[Blaze]

What do we do next?

[Darren]

Go back to town and forget that we took a canoe ride in the dark?

[Blaze]

Just try and forget?

[Darren]

You'd better forget. By the way, Blaze, that was an excellent sh.

[Jingles]

Bill. We should have camped out at sundown instead of trying to ride into Hansonville in the dark.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

It's just a few miles farther, Jingles, and it's important that we get there as soon as we can.

[Jingles]

Oh, sure. Every time we start out on one of these trips, it's a hurry up job. Joker knows where he's going, but it's so dark I can't see his ears from the saddle.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Then quit worrying and let Joker follow the trail.

[Jingles]

That's no good either.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Why not?

[Jingles]

Cause when Joker sees a branch he can get under, he goes under it. He don't care what happens to me.

[SpinQuest Advertiser]

Ow.

[Jingles]

Go on, you Joker. I got more lumps on my head than a horny toad. Now quit cutting corners and stay out in the middle of the train.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Take it easy, Jingle. We'll hit town pretty quick and you can get a nice room at the hotel with a feather bed.

[Jingles]

If I get there alive.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hold it, partner.

[Jingles]

Joker. What's the matter, Bill?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Something's happening out there on the lake.

[Jingles]

What kind of something?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Something that's got the ducks all stirred up. And a minute ago I thought I.

[Jingles]

Heard voices out on the lake. On a dark night like this?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That's right. Now who'd be prowling around in a boat or canoe at night?

[Jingles]

I don't know. And I don't care if anybody's crazy enough to be out there. It'd serve them right if they fell overboard. Now come on, Bill. Let's get to town.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, I guess we might as well get up there, Butt Chuck.

[Jingles]

Come on, Joker. Get along.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I still think something isn't right out there.

[Jingles]

You're the most suspicious man I know, Bill Hickok. Why, it's so dark you can't even see the lake. Somebody might be fishing out there. Or maybe a moose is swimming. Anything might have scared up those silly old ducks.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Call it a hunch if you want to, partner. Let's take this other trail, get around that buckshot.

[Jingles]

What other trails? I can't even see the one we're on now.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

The trail that leads to that cabin on the shore of the lake.

[Jingles]

What cabin?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

The One with the light in the window.

[Jingles]

Bill, you got eyes like an Indian. I don't see any cabin, any window, any light or any leg. What are you looking at anyhow?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'm looking at a little square of light on the water. You see it over there?

[Jingles]

Oh, yeah.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That light's reflected from a candle or lamp. Because it's square, it must come from a window. If there's a window, there must be a cabin or a house. And there must be a trail to it from the main trail. That's easy, isn't it?

[Jingles]

Maybe so. I wouldn't have figured that out in 10 million years.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

There's a cabin right ahead. See the light from the window?

[Jingles]

Yeah. Get over there, joker.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

There must be somebody home too.

[Jingles]

Oh, Joker hole.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Seems sort of silly to stop just on a hunch, but at least we can find out who lives here.

[Jingles]

Well, whoever it is is going to be surprised to see us in the middle of the night. Nobody answers, Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'll try again.

[Jingles]

Well, nobody home, I guess.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Take a look in the window. Jingles.

[Jingles]

Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

What's up, partner?

[Jingles]

Your hunter's right, Bill. There's a man in there and he's dead.

[Blaze]

Foreign.

Kellogg's Rice Crispies Kellogg's Rice.

[Narrator]

Strange sounds in the night. And his own keen senses gave Wild Bill Hickok a strong hunch that something was wrong in the little cabin on the shores of the lake. Sure enough, when Bill and Jingles got no answer to their knock on the door, Jingles looked in the window and discovered a dead man. Look.

[Jingles]

Bill slumped over the table.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're right. He's been shot, Jingles. But he may not be dead.

[Slim]

Come on.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

It's locked. We'll have to break it down.

[Jingles]

Well, that's my specialty. Just stand back and let me plow into it. This Jasper's still alive. He's gonna need a new door.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Let's have a look here.

[Jingles]

Whoever shot him must have been out on the lake. Billet. Looks like that bullet came right through that window.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, we're looking at that. Later. He's still alive, Jingles.

[Jingles]

He is. With a hole like that in him.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Build a fire. Put some water on the heat. We'll see what we can do for him. Then you'll have to ride to town and see if he can find a doctor.

[Jingles]

Well, we're here, Joker. Don't know whether anybody's up yet. It's hardly daylight. Well, Hansonville's a pretty little town, ain't it? Head for the hotel, boy. Might find somebody awake over there. Easy, Joker. Now. Oh, now who? I don't know whether there's a doctor here or not, but the clerk gotta know. Well, what do you know? Sleeping on duty. Some people have all the luck. Hey, wake up. He sleeps as Sound as I do hey, wake up. I ain't had a wink of sleep all night. And if I have to stay awake, you might as well do it too. Who is who?

[Blaze]

Oh, howdy, stranger.

[Jingles]

Oh, howdy yourself. My name's Jingles.

[Blaze]

I guess I'm not awake yet. Could have sworn you said your name was Jingles.

[Jingles]

It is now. Jingles. Pete Jones. And I need a doctor.

[Blaze]

You do? Well, you look pretty healthy.

[Jingles]

Oh, I am healthy. Paint for me, you feather head. I need a doctor for a man that got shot last night.

[Blaze]

Got shot, huh?

[Jingles]

Who?

[Blaze]

Happens all the time around here.

[Jingles]

Look, look. Now, is there a doctor in this town or isn't there?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure.

[Blaze]

Pretty good. And too Andy Peabody. Know Danny since he was about the size of a bush rabbit. Never could get used to calling him doctor. You want to see him?

[Jingles]

Of course I want to see him. While Bill and me stayed up all night just barely keeping this fellow alive. Now, we need a doctor and we need him in a hurry.

[Blaze]

Okay, I'll get him for you. He lives here in the hotel.

[Jingles]

Well, get him. And hurry up.

[Blaze]

Yeah, yeah. Well, where is his jet with a slug in him? Doc might want to know.

[Jingles]

In a cabin on the lake about two miles north of here.

[Blaze]

Two miles north?

[Darren]

Shade.

[Blaze]

It must be esri. Yeah, ESRI Withers. He's got a cabin out there. Oh, he's a nice fellow. Shot, huh?

[Jingles]

Yeah, shot and d near killed. And if you don't get the doc in a big hurry, he ain't going to be a nice fella much longer.

[Blaze]

Okay, okay. I'll tell him about esri. I'll be right back.

[Jingles]

We. Getting that knucklehead to move is like prodding a mule with his ears laid back.

[Darren]

He likes to take his time, doesn't he, stranger?

[Slim]

Huh?

[Jingles]

Oh, didn't see you standing there.

[Darren]

My name is Darren. I'm the owner of the hotel and one or two other places here in town.

[Jingles]

Well, I'm glad to know you, Mr. Darren. My name is Jones. Jingles P. Jones.

[Darren]

Yes, I heard you say that. And you said something about Wild Bill being out at poor Ezra's cabin.

[Jingles]

That's right. That's my partner, Wild Bill Hickok. You've heard of him, ain't you?

[Darren]

Oh, indeed I have. And you two came along in time to save poor Ezra's life.

[Jingles]

Well, so far we've saved it. If that doc will just shake it up a little.

[Darren]

Tell me, is Ezra unconscious? Has he talked at all?

[Jingles]

Not a bit. He was out cold when we found him and he's still out, but he's alive. Say, Mr. Darren, maybe I could saddle a doctor's horse for him and maybe save a little time.

[Darren]

Yes, yes, that's a good idea. He rides that big chestnut that's tied up with the picket rope. And the black saddle out on the front porch is his.

[Jingles]

I'll tell him I'm out in front.

[Darren]

I'll be glad to, Blaze. Wake up, stupid. We've got work to do. Come on.

[Jingles]

Come on.

[Blaze]

I was out half the night with.

[Darren]

Get up. Get up. We've got trouble. What trouble?

[Blaze]

You said you'd take care of everything.

[Darren]

This trouble is your fault. You missed last night. Ezra's still alive.

[Blaze]

What?

[Darren]

That's right. The doctor's on his way out to the cabin now. And so are we.

[Blaze]

What for?

[Darren]

To take care of two real nosy gents who found Ezra and kept him alive. Here is the rifle. And here's two more of the silver bullets.

[Blaze]

No, no, not those.

[Darren]

Yes, those. One is for the big gent named Jingles. And the other one's for his partner, Wild Bill Hickok.

[Blaze]

Well, that's all I can do for him, Wild Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

What do you think, doc?

[Blaze]

We'll know more when he comes out from under the anesthetic. He has a slim chance, that's all.

[Jingles]

Well, I hope he makes it.

[Blaze]

Well, if he does, Jingles, you and Bill can take the credit for saving his life.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We don't want any credit. But I'd you like to know why he was shot?

[Blaze]

Yeah. So would I. But I think I know how he was shot.

[Jingles]

How do you mean, Doc?

[Blaze]

Bill, have you still got the bullet I handed you when I took it out?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure. It's here on the table.

[Blaze]

Look and see if it's made out of silver.

[Jingles]

Silver? Oh, that's local. Nobody makes bullets out of silver dolls.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Somebody made this one out of silver. Jingle, Take a look.

[Jingles]

Let me see. Well, what do you know? It is silver.

[Blaze]

That makes five.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Five silver bullets, huh?

[Blaze]

Five in the last five months. This is the first one I've taken out with a man still alive.

[Jingles]

Bill, it looks to me like we got a crazy killer on our hand.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

One thing's for sure, partner.

[Jingles]

What's that, Bill?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We've got one that likes to advertise.

[Darren]

This should do fine, Blaze. We'll hide the horses in the trees. Get around them.

[Blaze]

Why didn't we use a canoe? Again?

[Darren]

Why didn't we use the canoe, stupid? It's broad daylight. We could be seen for miles if we came across the lake. Oh, now, Hope this is Much better. We'll just hide in these big rocks and watch the cabin.

[Blaze]

What are we watching for?

[Darren]

We are watching to see who comes out. If it's the doctor, you keep quiet and let him go. If it's Wild Bill Hickok and that big deputy of his, you use the silver bullets.

[Blaze]

Darren, you're gonna make a mistake someday and I want to be around for your hanging.

[Darren]

How can they hang me? I've never killed anyone. I've always been able to find trigger men like you. Men who could be forced to kill for me. I don't even carry a gun.

[Blaze]

That's right, you don't.

[Darren]

I use my head, Blaze. That's why I've gradually taken over. I got the silver mine when Jennings died suddenly.

[Blaze]

Jennings was shot?

[Darren]

That's right. I believe he was.

[Blaze]

You know darn well he was.

[Darren]

No matter. After his death, I produced a deed to the mine. It's paid me very well. Then the hotel.

[Blaze]

Oh, stop bragging. I know how you got all the things you own. And I know what's happened to everybody that got in your way.

[Darren]

That's right. And look down there. We're just coming out of the cabin. Two more men who are getting in my way. Here's the rifle, Blaze. Take care of them for me. And get Hickok first. But, Darren. No argument. Shoot. And be sure you don't miss.

[Narrator]

Jump and Jiminy Slim. What's that?

[Slim]

That's the howl of a prairie wolf, Charl. And a hungry Howl at that if you're asleeping out on the range alone. It's an important sound to know.

[Narrator]

Yeah. And another sound worth knowing is the snap, crackle, pop of Kellogg's Rice Krispies. It's a sound the whole world knows. It says good eatin is on the way. A delicious breakfast of Kellogg's Rice Krispies, the world's only talking cereal. Pour on milk or cream and Kellogg's Rice Krispies sound off Snap, crackle, pop telling everyone within earshot how fresh and crisp they are. Fresh and crisp from Kellogg's because they're tumble toasted in giant rotary ovens.

It's important to know the sound of a hungry Wolf wranglers. But it's a darn sight more important to know the sound that means good eatin. Snap, crackle, pop. That's the sound to keep a sharp ear out for. It's the sound only one cereal in the world makes. Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Try them with frozen or canned peach slices on top for tomorrow's breakfast. Man alive, they're good.

[Narrator]

Setting a trap for Wild Bill and Jingles. The wily Darren and his trigger man Blaze, hid in the rocks above the cabin. As Bill and Jingle stepped outside, Blaze loaded the rifle with the silver bullets and pulled the trigger.

[Jingles]

Get out, Jingle. Stand down and crawling behind the cabin already. Who in the heck's doing the shooting?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I don't know. Somebody up there in those rocks nearly.

[Jingles]

Sure had a bead on us.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, I'm not so sure. That bullet hit the cabin wall a good six feet from us.

[Jingles]

Pretty bad shot, huh?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Either that or he missed us on purpose.

[Jingles]

There's a hat moving up there, Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, I see it.

[Jingles]

We can't hit him, Bill. They ran back in the trees.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Listen.

[Jingles]

Horses are getting away.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Get Buckshot and Joker. Let's get after him.

[Jingles]

That's fine with me. I want to crack at those bushwhackers.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh, I want to look at that bullet in the wall.

[Blaze]

Hey, Bill, is it safe to stick my head out now?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I think so, Doc. They took one shot at us, then left in a hurry when we started shooting back.

[Blaze]

Any idea who it was? Nope.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

But this bullet I'm digging out may give me a clue.

[Blaze]

How's that?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now? Wait a second. Yep, Just as I thought. Take a look. Ah, Silver. That's right. If we can catch those Jaspers, we'll have our silver bullet killer.

[Jingles]

Here are the horses, Bill.

[Slim]

All right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Steady there, Buckshot.

[Blaze]

Good luck, Bill. And watch yourself.

[Narrator]

Whoever you're trailing is mighty dangerous, you know.

[Jingles]

Something, Doc. So is Bill.

[Darren]

Get around.

[Jingles]

Joker. Jack. Joker, let's run down that local coyote with the silver bullet. There they are. Bill. Those horses can't stay out in front of buckshot and joke. Come on, boy, run them down. Let's not run them down too fast. I don't want one of them silver slugs in my ribs.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

They'll have to stop. They want a good shot at us.

[Jingles]

They are stopping. Look out.

[Narrator]

Look.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Fighting over that rifle. Get in the fast, jingles.

[Jingles]

What the heck? They only got one gun between them.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We'll soon find out.

[Jingles]

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, Joker. Whoa.

[Blaze]

All right, hold it right there and.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Get your hands up.

[Darren]

Give me that rifle.

[Jingles]

If you won't kill them, I will. You're not gonna kill anybody. Now give me that rifle.

[Blaze]

Take it. Take it. Don't let this crazy fool get his hands on it.

[Jingles]

Just slim her down. Bill, this is Mr. Darren that owns a hotel.

[Blaze]

That's right. He owns about everything else in town.

[Darren]

Shut up, Blaze. You stop talking, I will stop remembering things about you.

[Blaze]

I don't care, Marshall Hickok. I killed a man once in a fight and Darren here has been holding that over my head to try to make me do his silver bullet killings for him.

[Jingles]

You fool.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That ruins your little game, doesn't it, Darren boy?

[Jingles]

Are you the one that shot at us a while ago?

[Blaze]

Yeah, but I missed on purpose.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That's what I thought. Turn around, Darren. We'll take you both to jail and straighten us all out.

[Jingles]

No, you won't. Look out for him, Bill. I will let him have it. Wild Bill. Looks like you haven't got any friends at all there. I don't need friends.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You're pretty tough, aren't you, Darren?

[Darren]

Tough enough for you?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We'll see.

[Blaze]

Certainly glad I'm on your side, Wild Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Thanks, Blaze. I'll see if I can't get you a break for helping us out.

[Jingles]

Bill, you hit him so hard, we're gonna have to wait a while to start asking him questions.

[Blaze]

I can tell you all about him and the men he got to do the killings for him.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That'll be a big help, Blaze.

[Blaze]

And if you look in his pockets, you'll find some more of those silver bullets.

[Jingles]

Good. I want one of those for a souvenir.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

To remind you of the silver bullet killer?

[Jingles]

No, to remind me not to listen to your hunches, Bill Hickok. You had a hunch last night and I haven't been to bed since. I'm a growing boy and I need my sleep.
