Introduction

Hosted by Andrew Rines, the "Old Time Radio Westerns" podcast transports listeners to the rugged landscapes of the Wild West. In this episode, "The Coyote Kids Return," the iconic U.S. Marshal Wild Bill Hickok, portrayed by Guy Madison, teams up with his loyal partner Jingles, voiced by Andy Devine. The episode is a digitally restored classic Western radio drama, enhanced to deliver a rich and immersive auditory experience.

Encounter with Slayton

The adventure begins in the bustling gambling hall of Blake Wells, where Wild Bill and Jingles confront the town's autocratic figure, Slayton. Slayton's oppressive control has kept the town under his sway, and Wild Bill is determined to challenge his authority.

• Wild Bill Hickok: “I believe in giving a man fair warning. Jingle.” [02:48]
• Slayton: “Never thought I'd see you in a gambling hall, Hickok. Isn't this against your high and mighty principles?” [03:07]

Wild Bill warns Slayton about his tyrannical rule, emphasizing his commitment to justice and fairness. Slayton responds defensively, hinting at the tensions that will drive the episode's conflict.

The Arrival of the Coyote Kid

The tension escalates with the sudden entrance of Jasper, known as the Coyote Kid, who demands water for his horse. His brash demeanor and cryptic remarks add mystery to the unfolding story.

• Coyote Kid: “I am your big cub. If you ever been to Montana, you wouldn't have to ask.” [07:08]
• Wild Bill Hickok: “But, Bill, who in the thunder? Ever heard of the Coyote Kid?” [07:26]

The Coyote Kid's presence introduces a new dynamic, raising questions about his intentions and connections within the town.

Bank Robbery and Rising Suspicion

The plot thickens when Mr. Muggins, the bank manager, reports a significant robbery that occurred overnight while Wild Bill and Jingles were asleep.

• Mr. Muggins: “I was robbed last night.” [10:51]
• Wild Bill Hickok: “Your own issue? Then you'll have the numbers.” [11:11]

Wild Bill begins to suspect that Slayton or his associates may be involved in the robbery, especially after noticing irregularities in the Coyote Kid's behavior.

Slayton's Scheme to Frame the Coyote Kid

Slayton devises a cunning plan to frame the Coyote Kid for the bank robbery, orchestrating a jailbreak to ensure the Kid becomes the town's scapegoat. This deceit aims to manipulate the town's perception and conceal Slayton's own misdeeds.

• Slayton: “We can use a kid, a man with sand like you around here.” [08:35]
• Slayton: “Now, remember, you get the kid out at midnight sharp.” [17:44]

Wild Bill, ever vigilant, begins to unravel Slayton's scheme, recognizing the move to divert suspicion away from himself.

Climactic Confrontation and Revelation

In a dramatic climax, Wild Bill and Jingles intercept Slayton and his men as they attempt to retrieve the payroll money from the railroad office. A tense showdown ensues, culminating in Wild Bill confronting Slayton and exposing his wrongdoing.

• Wild Bill Hickok: “We gotta catch them with the money in their hands.” [20:35]
• Slayton: “You’re gonna regret that.” [20:35]

Through strategic maneuvering and bravery, Wild Bill uncovers the truth, revealing that Slayton orchestrated the bank robbery and attempted to frame the Coyote Kid to cover his tracks.

Resolution and Exoneration

With Slayton's deceit unveiled, the Coyote Kid is exonerated. The town of Blake Wells witnesses the fall of its corrupt leader, restoring peace and justice. The Kid expresses gratitude towards Wild Bill for saving him from false accusations and potential harm.

• Coyote Kid: “If it hadn’t been for you, I could have been killed or jailed by now.” [22:56]
• Wild Bill Hickok: “You know, you're very lucky.” [23:04]

Notable Quotes

• Wild Bill Hickok: “I believe in giving a man fair warning. Jingle.” [02:48]
• Slayton: “Never thought I'd see you in a gambling hall, Hickok. Isn't this against your high and mighty principles?” [03:07]
• Coyote Kid: “I reckon his teacher's made good. Lesson, Mr. Hickok. It don't pay to be a phony.” [22:56]

Hi, folks. Hold on to your hats and gallop along with Guy Madison as Wild Bill Hickok and his pal Jingles. Which is me, Andy Devine. We've got another Rootin tootin Wild Bill Hickok adventure story for you from that famous talkin cereal, Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Snap, crackle, Pop.

In just 30 seconds, you'll hear the exciting story that the Coyote kids return. Hear that crowd cheer? Some cheer. But it's nothing compared to what you'd hear from a crowd that included all the folks who enjoyed Kellogg's Rice Krispies for breakfast this morning. You bet. Millions of folks like to listen to the cheery snap, crackle, pop Rice Krispies makes when the milk hits them. And they love that Rice Krispies flavor. And so'll you. Cause Kellogg's Rice Krispies are tumble toasted. You know, that spins them full of crispy goodness and makes them golden toasty all over. Why don't you ask mom to get a big package of Rice Krispies today, then have a real delicious breakfast tomorrow? United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his friend and deput coyote Jingles met many an odd character on their trails through the Old West. One of the strangest ever to cross their path led them into an adventure that almost cost them their lives. The Coyote kids return.

[Andy Devine]

Now, Bill, you ain't just gonna walk into that gambling hall asking for trouble, are you?

[Guy Madison]

I believe in giving a man fair warning. Jingle.

[Andy Devine]

And you figure Slayton's got a warning coming?

[Guy Madison]

Yep.

[Andy Devine]

We don't know that he had anything to do with robbing the Wells Fargo.

[Guy Madison]

No, but he's been making a big play at keeping the whole town of Blake Wells scared of him. I figure it's better to warn him now. Maybe it'll slow him down.

[Andy Devine]

Well, here he comes. I'm just gonna stand back and keep an eye on his boys over there in the corner.

[Slayton]

Well, now, if this isn't a surprise, we the great Wild Bill Hickok, paying us a visit.

[Guy Madison]

Howdy, Sladen.

[Slayton]

Never thought I'd see you in a gambling hall, Hickok. Isn't this against your high and mighty principles?

[Guy Madison]

I didn't come to gamble, Sladen. What you can call trying to save a man's neck sort of a gamble.

[Slayton]

Yeah, might be at that. Whose neck you got in mind, Marshall?

[Guy Madison]

I was thinking about your neck, Sladen.

[Slayton]

Mine. Now you listen to me, Hickok. No mealy mouthed lawman's coming into my own place and getting smart with me.

[Guy Madison]

I just came to warn you, Sladen. You keep on running the town the way you have been and one day you're gonna make a slip.

[Slayton]

Oh, yeah?

[Guy Madison]

And when you do, I'll be there to pick you up.

[Slayton]

You're asking for it, Hickok.

[Guy Madison]

I wouldn't signal your boys unless you want to bury a few of them.

[Slayton]

Why be a lookout?

[Andy Devine]

Well, I keep telling them it don't pay to mix lad with Wild Bill Hickok, but they just won't learn.

[Guy Madison]

You got a couple of guns yourself, Barner. Thanks.

[Andy Devine]

Don't mention it, Bill. It was a pleasure.

[Slayton]

All right, Hickok, you win this round. But you better not set foot through them doors again. Unless you come in with both guns blazing.

[Guy Madison]

You make it mighty tough to be friendly with you, Slayton.

[Slayton]

I don't need to be friends with tin horns like you and that big lug you call a deputy.

[Andy Devine]

Now just a minute, you lower jingles.

[Guy Madison]

We've had our say. We might as well be going.

[Andy Devine]

What in the world is that? Hey, Bill, look. Jasper's riding that horse right inside this hall.

[Coyote Kid]

All right, all right, you white living maverick. Stand aside. My horse is thirsty.

[Andy Devine]

Well, I'll be. Dog gone.

[Slayton]

Hey, what's the idea?

[Coyote Kid]

What's it to you, fancy vest? Don't stand there. Get my horse a drink of water. Clean water.

[Andy Devine]

Jump, I said, Bill, this young buck sure feeling his oath.

[Slayton]

Yeah, and I'm going to cut him down to his size.

[Guy Madison]

The little old Ed sled and I'll handle this. All right, son, climb down over that horse. Simmer down before you get hurt.

[Coyote Kid]

You don't scare me. Not buckskin britches. Who are you? Not that it matters much.

[Andy Devine]

Boy, you're sure close to sprouting wings. Nobody talks that way to Wild Bill Hickok and gets very far. Wild Bill.

[Coyote Kid]

Holy smoke. Well, Hickok, you ought to know it's your death to mix with a Coyote Kid.

[Andy Devine]

What?

[Guy Madison]

Easy, Jingles.

[Andy Devine]

But, Bill, who in the thunder? Ever heard of the Coyote Kid?

[Unknown]

You ever hear this sound, Charlie?

[Charlie Lyon]

You bet I have. That's a camp cook calling the cow hands to chow. And doesn't he usually yell come and get it?

[Unknown]

He sure does, though at breakfast he often hollers Rice Krispies. Boy, that makes them come a running.

[Charlie Lyon]

Yeah, those Rice Krispies do all right speaking for themselves. Now, when you pour the milk to them, they sound off with snap, crackle, pop. And when you hear that, you know you're in for some delicious eatin'thanks. To Kellogg's exclusive Tumble toasting process. Each grain is spun full of crispy goodness and made golden toasty all over.

[Unknown]

Sure makes them taste fine too. You just put some berries or sliced bananas on those Rice Krispies if you really want a dish. And that's worth riding long and hard for.

[Charlie Lyon]

You bet. It's certainly worth seeing that there's always plenty of Rice Krispies on hand in the kitchen so you can enjoy them whenever you feel hungry.

[Unknown]

Get em on Mom's shopping list. That's the way to get them on the table. Then when breakfast comes around, you'll always hear that welcome.

[Andy Devine]

Rice Krispies.

[Charlie Lyon]

You said it, Slim. Now let's get back to Wild Bill Hickok. When the reckless young rider identified himself as the Coyote Kid, Jingles asked a question in everybody's mind.

[Andy Devine]

Now who in the blazes is the Coyote Kid?

[Coyote Kid]

I am your big cub. If you ever been to Montana, you wouldn't have to ask.

[Guy Madison]

All right, boy, party's over. Lead his horse out, Jingles.

[Andy Devine]

Their pleasure. Now, come on, sonny. Let's go out in the sunshine.

[Coyote Kid]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

[Andy Devine]

You may be a big man in Montana, son, but in Blake, well, you're just another cowpoke with a head full of feathers. We gonna lock him up, Bill?

[Slayton]

Now hold on, Hickok. The Kid ain't done nothing more than a little hoorain.

[Guy Madison]

That's right, Slayton.

[Slayton]

He's got a little too much nerve. Maybe, but I like him.

[Andy Devine]

That's nothing in his favor.

[Slayton]

You leave him to me. I'll tell him how you operate here in Bleak Wells. Marshall. You'll be all right.

[Guy Madison]

Sure he will.

[Coyote Kid]

You got nothing to lock me up for, Hickok.

[Guy Madison]

I'm not locking you up, kid. But I can give you a piece of advice. Stay away from Sladen.

[Coyote Kid]

I reckon a Coyote Kid can take care of himself, Hickok. I pick my own friends. And when I need your advice, I'll come a running. But don't you hold your breath.

[Andy Devine]

Doggone your ornery little Hyde. Bill says let you go, I'll have to do it we're gonna keep an eye on you and just the same. And don't you forget it.

[Slayton]

Well, kid, I got a feeling you're gonna like it here around Blake Wells.

[Coyote Kid]

Ah, it's not a bad town at that. Slater.

[Slayton]

Oh, it's a right good town if you get in with the right people. Don't let Hickox scare you.

[Coyote Kid]

A tin horn marshall don't scare me. Just got that drop on me, that's all.

[Slayton]

Sure he did.

[Coyote Kid]

And he might live to regret it someday.

[Slayton]

Yeah, I got a score or two to settle with Hickok myself. Hey, you and me's gonna get along fine. I'm well and good. We can use a kid, a man with sand like you around here. Come on, I want you to meet some of the boys. All right, boys. All right, you jugheads, simmer down. That's better. Now step up and shake hands with the Coyote Kid. Just blew in from Montana.

[Coyote Kid]

Howdy, man.

[Slayton]

Be careful how you mix with the kid here. He's right quick with these peacemaker. Reckon he might be riding with us for a while. And I got a feeling he's going to be a big help. A real big help.

[Charlie Lyon]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Andy Devine]

Help build the courthouses on fire. Get a bucket, Jingles.

[Guy Madison]

Jingles, wake up.

[Andy Devine]

Get two buckets, Jingles.

[Guy Madison]

Hey, partner, come on, wake up.

[Andy Devine]

Bill, a fire bell.

[Guy Madison]

That's the alarm clock, Jingles. Turn it off, will you?

[Andy Devine]

Oh. Sure thought the doggone thing had burned down that time. Well, morning, Bill.

[Guy Madison]

Morning, Jingles. Did you have a good night's sleep?

[Andy Devine]

I sure did not.

[Guy Madison]

Mm. Why not?

[Andy Devine]

How do you expect me to sleep when I know a high, roaring Jasper like the Coyote Kid is on the loose.

[Guy Madison]

The Coyote Kid?

[Andy Devine]

We should have locked him up, Bill. Why? He might have shot me in the back while I was asleep in the front.

[Guy Madison]

Now, Jingles, you know you have to have a reason to lock a man up in jail. And he hadn't done anything.

[Andy Devine]

Who's making all that noise before breakfast?

[Guy Madison]

I'll find out. Well, Mr. Muggin.

[Mr. Muggins]

Don't you wow me, Bill Hickok. You've been sleeping, haven't you?

[Andy Devine]

Sure he has been. Nighttime, hadn't it?

[Charlie Lyon]

Nah.

[Mr. Muggins]

I thought so. Sleeping for the first time in my 10 years as manager with the bank. I was robbed last night.

[Guy Madison]

Robbed?

[Mr. Muggins]

Yes, robbed. And while you were sleeping.

[Guy Madison]

When'd you find that out?

[Mr. Muggins]

Just now, when I opened it up for the morning business.

[Andy Devine]

Ah, then you were sleeping, too.

[Guy Madison]

Hold it, Jingle.

[Andy Devine]

But, Bill, I was.

[Guy Madison]

What did the robbers get, Mr. Muggins?

[Mr. Muggins]

Almost $5,000 in gold notes.

[Guy Madison]

Your own issue?

[Mr. Muggins]

Yes.

[Guy Madison]

Then you'll have the numbers.

[Mr. Muggins]

What's yours?

[Guy Madison]

Go back to the bank and make me a list of those numbers. Don't let anyone else know about it.

[Andy Devine]

Oh, Bill, you don't have to be so mysterious about who did it. You know doggone well that.

[Guy Madison]

Never mind. Jingles.

[Mr. Muggins]

What were you gonna say, Jingles?

[Andy Devine]

I was just gonna tell Bills. Huh?

[Mr. Muggins]

Well, go on, you big windbag.

[Andy Devine]

I was just gonna say what a nice day it might have been if you hadn't knocked on that door and good day, Mr. Muggin. Whoo wee. There is a pint side tornado if I ever did see one.

[Guy Madison]

Yeah, you would be too if you'd lost $5,000, Jingles.

[Andy Devine]

Bill, you know I couldn't be a pint sized anything. It's gonna be easy to get us 5,000 back.

[Guy Madison]

You think so? Pardon?

[Andy Devine]

Sure. Just find the Coyote Kid and there it'll be.

[Guy Madison]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. We saw the Kid at Slayton's gambling place last night, though. Let's go see if he's there now.

[Andy Devine]

There's Slayton coming out of this place.

[Guy Madison]

Yeah. Hey, Slayton, I want to talk to you.

[Slayton]

What do you want, Hickok?

[Andy Devine]

Easy, Bill. He's got a bunch of his guns to looks lined up behind those windows.

[Guy Madison]

Yeah, I see him, Dingle.

[Slayton]

What do you got on your mind, Hickok?

[Guy Madison]

But maybe you might know where I could find the Coyote Kid.

[Slayton]

How would I know? I haven't seen him since last night.

[Andy Devine]

You sure about that?

[Slayton]

Yeah, I am sure. He left my place about dark, acting like he had something on his mind.

[Andy Devine]

Well, I reckon he did something about robbing the bank.

[Slayton]

What are you talking about?

[Guy Madison]

He wouldn't know anything about the bank being robbed last night, would you, Slayton?

[Slayton]

Me? No. Was it?

[Andy Devine]

Yes, it was. And you'd better tell us where the jingles.

[Guy Madison]

Well, he had, you see, the Kid left here just after dark last night, huh, Slayton?

[Slayton]

Yeah, and I thought he was gunning for you, Hickok. He was right sore about you getting the drop on him yesterday.

[Andy Devine]

Hey, Bill, look. Here he comes. A Coyote Kid. Quiet a little.

[Guy Madison]

What's that, Slayton?

[Slayton]

You better watch him, Hickok.

[Coyote Kid]

I rode out there just like you said, Slayton, but I didn't.

[Slayton]

Hickok, he's drawing. I'll get him for you.

[Andy Devine]

Hey, what's going on here? Doggone it. That's what I'd like to know.

[Guy Madison]

You almost made a bad mistake, Slayton. The Kid didn't draw his gun?

[Andy Devine]

Yeah, and Slayton ain't gonna draw his gun for a while either, Hickok.

[Slayton]

You're gonna regret that.

[Coyote Kid]

Hey, hey, Slayton, why you gone?

[Guy Madison]

Never mind, kid. Let him go.

[Andy Devine]

And come down off that cayuse. You're under arrest. What for?

[Coyote Kid]

You can't take me, you bitches.

[Guy Madison]

We won't call this an arrest, kid, but I'd like to have you walk over to the bank with us.

[Coyote Kid]

A bank?

[Andy Devine]

What for?

[Coyote Kid]

I don't get this.

[Andy Devine]

I never saw so many people who didn't know nothing about a bank robbery. I'm gonna search this one bank robbery.

[Coyote Kid]

Nobody's gonna make me a fall guy for robbery. Come on, get out of my way.

[Andy Devine]

Oh, no, you don't. Now nobody gets away from me. Sonn.

[Coyote Kid]

Look, look, you let me go. Let me go and I'll get the sidewind of the Diderot.

[Guy Madison]

That won't do us any good, kid. And if you're being used as somebody's alibi, I guess we better put you where you won't be so useful.

[Andy Devine]

Yeah, in the calaboose. Now come on, move.

[Coyote Kid]

All right, all right, I'm coming. But I tell you, you're making a big mistake. You lock me up and you miss a big chance to catch a bank robber red handed on another job tonight.

[Andy Devine]

You hear that, Bill?

[Guy Madison]

Yeah. Jingle. But I don't always believe what I hear.

[Coyote Kid]

Hickok, I know what I'm talking about. We're being watched right now. Every move we make.

[Charlie Lyon]

This ever happened at your house. The whole family comes down for breakfast, and before you know it, there's a mad scramble for the box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Now, if you're not fast enough, it may be quite a spell before the box gets to you. And it may even be empty by that time. Well, now you can do away with that brush for the Rice Krispies box if mom brings home Kellogg's Rice Krispies Handy Pack. Cause you see, Kellogg's Rice Krispies Handy Pack is made up of eight generous individual boxes of Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Each one is separately packaged and all eight are wrapped together with cellophane. You just take one for yourself, open it, and shake those delicious puffs of golden Rice Kellogg's Rice Krispies right into your bowl. No muss, no fuss, no bother. Have mom look for the Kellogg's Rice Krispies Handy Packs at your groceries. Now how about joining in our song?

[Unknown]

Kellogg's Rice Krispies, Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Let's march right up to the table Now Rice Krispies taste the best and how Snap, crackle Kellogg's Rice Krispies, Kellogg's.

[Charlie Lyon]

R Bill Hickok seemed to pay no attention to the Coyote Kids, pleading and warning of another robbery. But after the kid's cell was locked, Bill and Jingles headed back to the bank for a talk with Mr. Muggins.

[Mr. Muggins]

Right in here, Hickok. I haven't touched a thing. I saw you lock up that junk, scallywag.

[Guy Madison]

You don't miss anything, do you, Mr. Muggins?

[Mr. Muggins]

Pays for a banker to know what's going on here. There. Take a look. That young bandit did a real neat job.

[Andy Devine]

Sure did. How'd he move that safe?

[Guy Madison]

That's right, partner. How did he move a safe it take two men to lift. How did he wear three different pairs of shoes and then ride away on three horses all at the same time?

[Mr. Muggins]

What are you talking about, Hickok?

[Guy Madison]

Just this. The Coyote Kid didn't do this robbery.

[Mr. Muggins]

Then who did?

[Guy Madison]

I mean to find that out, Mr. Muggins. You know anybody who's got a lot of cash on hand right now?

[Mr. Muggins]

No, I. Yes. Yes, I do. Payroll came in at the railroad office. Tomorrow's payday, and that's it.

[Guy Madison]

Jingles, we don't get much sleep tonight.

[Slayton]

Now listen, you jugheads. You think Hickok's got me stopped, but that's where you're wrong. And he's got the Coyote Kid. There goes your fall, guys. Laden? Not for long. Bull, you and Woody are going to break the Kid out of that jail tonight. What for? Use your head while you're doing that. We'll be getting the payroll from the railroad office. When Hickok wakes up, he'll find the payroll money and the kid both gone. So he thinks the Coyote Kid's done the robbery again, huh? That's right. Now, remember, you get the kid out at midnight sharp. I get you, boss. All right, get moving. You got less than half an hour. And if Hickok happens to show up, start shooting and don't stop till he's stretched out dead.

[Andy Devine]

Neil, if you're expecting somebody to make a try for that payroll money, what are we doing hiding outside the jail?

[Guy Madison]

Because a robber wants us to think the Coyote Kid's been doing these robberies? Yeah, so they've got to get him out of jail to make him look guilty.

[Andy Devine]

So when they try jailbreak, we grab them?

[Guy Madison]

No, we let them. Go ahead.

[Andy Devine]

Now, Bill, that don't make any sense at all.

[Guy Madison]

It will, Jingles. You just be ready. Hey, quiet. Here they come.

[Slayton]

All right, Woody, put that hook on those bars.

[Coyote Kid]

Hey, what's going on out there?

[Slayton]

Shut up, kid. We're getting you out of jail.

[Coyote Kid]

Who are you?

[Slayton]

Bull and Woody. Slayton's in us.

[Andy Devine]

Bill, did you hear that? Slayton?

[Guy Madison]

Cinema Slayton?

[Coyote Kid]

What's he want with me?

[Slayton]

He's gonna do you a favor. You don't wanna spend the rest of your life in jail, do ya?

[Coyote Kid]

Well, no.

[Slayton]

Well, we're getting you out. Then you can hightail it down the road.

[Coyote Kid]

All right, go ahead. Pull those bars out.

[Slayton]

Okay. Woody, it's midnight. Oh, you care.

[Guy Madison]

All right, Jingles. Now run for that railroad office.

[Andy Devine]

I'm coming, Bill. Whoop dog. Gun him.

[Slayton]

Hold it, Woody. Hey, hey, who's that? Woody, you take off.

[Andy Devine]

You sidewinders. Take a load of lead yourselves.

[Guy Madison]

Come on, Jingles. We're wasting time.

[Andy Devine]

I got the horses right here, Bill.

[Guy Madison]

Then hit the saddle. Steady.

[Slayton]

One shot.

[Andy Devine]

Old still Joker. You Henry, old hay baby. Right, partner. I box your eyes, Joker. Bill, those blasted jailbreakers are chasing.

[Guy Madison]

Forget them, Jingles. We gotta catch that payroll robber.

[Andy Devine]

They'll hear the shootin and get lost.

[Guy Madison]

That's what I'm afraid of. Bastard.

[Andy Devine]

Buckshot Dog. Gun it. What'd I have to fall down for?

[Guy Madison]

There's a railroad office, Jingles. All right, close in.

[Andy Devine]

Hey, Bill, there's some men coming out of the door. It's Slayton.

[Guy Madison]

Burn down, Jingles. They see us.

[Andy Devine]

They're getting away, Bill. After.

[Guy Madison]

We've got to catch them with the money in their hands. And Slayton's got the payroll pouch.

[Andy Devine]

Bill, those two jaspers are still coming on behind us. If we don't get shot in the chest, we'll get it in the back. Jump, Joker. Get me out of this.

[Guy Madison]

All right, Jingles. I'm going after Sladen.

[Andy Devine]

Be careful, Bill. Get ain't buckshot. Your time's run out, Slayton.

[Slayton]

You're asking for it, Hickok.

[Guy Madison]

Not ain't buckshot. Now, mister, you're coming off that horse.

[Andy Devine]

You bit off more than you can.

[Slayton]

Chew this time, Hickey.

[Guy Madison]

Maybe so, Sladen, but I can sure try.

[Andy Devine]

Tryin ain't good enough. We'll see about that. All right, you jugheads. Now line up or you won't get a chance to go to jail.

[Guy Madison]

That's real good, Jingles. I got em covered.

[Andy Devine]

And two more coming, Bill.

[Guy Madison]

All right, Slayton, get up. We're going back to your place and have a look in your safe. What I expect to find there in this payroll. I figured to wrap you up for about 20 years.

[Andy Devine]

Well, here they are, Bill. Mr. Muggins and the Coyote Kid.

[Mr. Muggins]

Some meaning to this, Hickok. I don't like getting pulled out of bed at this hour.

[Guy Madison]

You got that list of numbers on the stolen gold notes, Mr. Muggins?

[Mr. Muggins]

Yes, yes, right here in my pocket.

[Guy Madison]

Good. All right, Slade. And open up that safe.

[Slayton]

You're not getting away with this, Hickok.

[Andy Devine]

Billy's got a derringer up his sleeve.

[Slayton]

You're not using it.

[Guy Madison]

That was your last bid, Slade. Now open that safe.

[Andy Devine]

Hell, he ain't got a fall guy this time.

[Coyote Kid]

He was blaming it all on me, wasn't he?

[Guy Madison]

He sure was kidding.

[Andy Devine]

Got the safe open. Hey, Bill, look. Wells Fargo Gold in the gold notes.

[Mr. Muggins]

Let me see the old series 237. That's it, Hickok. That's your money from the bank.

[Guy Madison]

All right, Jingles, that solves all three robberies. Slayton and his gang are headed for jail.

[Andy Devine]

What about the Coyote Kid?

[Coyote Kid]

But I didn't do anything, I tell you.

[Guy Madison]

That's right, kid. You just gave Sladen a chance to pick you for a fall guy with that phony bad man act.

[Coyote Kid]

I reckon his teacher's made good. Lesson, Mr. Hickok. It don't pay to be a phony. If it hadn't been for you, I could have been killed or jailed by now.

[Guy Madison]

That's right, kid. This could have been a real close call for you. You know, you're very lucky.

[Andy Devine]

Yeah, and Bill knew you were a phony all the time. Besides, no real bad man would call himself the Coyote Kid. Cause a coyote's a coward and nobody's admitting to that. You ought to pick a name that fits you like mine, jingle. Then everybody knows you're just big and happy like me.

[Charlie Lyon]
