Introduction and Setting

The Ten Minute Mayor transports listeners to the turbulent town of Brimful, a frontier settlement simmering with tension. The story kicks off with United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his affable sidekick, Jingles, making their entrance into the uneasy town atmosphere.

---

Rising Tensions

Upon arriving in Brimful, Hickok and Jingles quickly sense the underlying unrest among the townsfolk. At [00:46], Wild Bill Hickok warns, “Hi, you folks hold on to your hats and pass those Kellogg Sugar Pops because here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill Hickok and his pal Jingles. Which is me, Andy Devine.” Their presence signifies potential disruption in the already volatile environment.

---

Mayor Brimble's Confrontation

The elected Mayor Brimble, whose tenure is humorously limited to ten minutes, steps forward to address the crowd. At [03:14], he confronts the antagonists, John Gadson and Mel Sutter, declaring, “You're on your way out. You and Sutter and the whole Gadsden gang. You've had your way with this town too long.” This bold statement sets the stage for the ensuing conflict as Mayor Brimble asserts his authority against the entrenched corruption.

---

Showdown and Gunfire

Tensions escalate rapidly when Mel Sutter retaliates against Mayor Brimble’s accusations. At [04:01], Hickok intervenes, urging, “You'd never get us both, Sutter. Now drop that gun and stand.” This command leads to a fierce gunfight, vividly portrayed with lines like, “[04:11] Mel Sutter: Look out, Shutter,” and “[04:25] Mayor Brimble: Shut up.” The ensuing chaos culminates in the accidental shooting of Mayor Brimble by Sutter, plunging the town into further disorder.

---

Arrival of Judge Ted Sherman

Amidst the chaos, Judge Ted Sherman arrives to restore order. At [07:51], Mayor Brimble pleads, “Mr. Hickok, it's Ted Sherman. You all right in there?” Judge Sherman’s presence offers a glimmer of hope for a fair trial and the restoration of justice in Brimful.

---

Escalation and Further Conflict

Despite initial attempts to secure justice, Mel Sutter manages a daring escape. At [10:54], Hickok exclaims, “What are we waiting for? Why'd you practically tell Gadsden we found Sutter when you know doggone well we didn't.” This twist propels the narrative into a high-stakes pursuit, highlighting the relentless nature of law enforcement against persistent outlaws.

---

Final Resolution and Change in Leadership

The climax unfolds as Hickok and Jingles confront Sutter and his gang in a dramatic showdown. Quotes like “[17:14] Wild Bill Hickok: Shoot the first sick and it's me too. You low down salamanders,” emphasize the intensity of the confrontation. Ultimately, with the help of Judge Sherman and the community’s support, Sutter and his cohorts are defeated. In a swift turn of events, Ted Sherman is unanimously elected as the new mayor, symbolizing the triumph of justice and rightful leadership.

---

Conclusion and Aftermath

The episode concludes with Wild Bill Hickok reflecting on the events, humorously suggesting, “I wish you'd pass a law that everybody's got to get some sleep at least once every 24 hours” ([19:42]). This lighthearted remark underscores the restoration of peace and order in Brimful, thanks to Hickok’s unwavering commitment to law and order.

The town of Brimful was a powder keg with a short fuse the day United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and Jingles landed there along the main street. Men eyed each other in deadly silence and kept their hands close to their holsters. Then a single gunshot lit the fuse and the powder keg blew up in Wild Bill's face. With a battle royal over the death of the 10 minute mayor.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill, I sure don't like the looks of these gents around us. I feel like an accident going somewhere to happen.

[Jingles]

Quiet, Jingle. The new mayor is going to speak.

[Mayor Brimble]

Yes, sir. I want to thank you for electing me, Mayor Brimble. That is, I want to thank the ones that voted the Do Right party ticket.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yell, that little bunch of men on the other side of the crowd ain't exactly in favor of the mayor.

[Mayor Brimble]

I heard those booze and I know who's doing it. Well, I got something to say to you, John Gadson. You and Mel Sutter, too.

[Mel Sutter]

Nothing you got to say means anything to us, Mayor.

[Mayor Brimble]

Well, you better Listen, you're on your way out. You and Sutter and the whole Gadsden gang. You've had your way with this town too long.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah?

[Mayor Brimble]

Who's gonna run us out, you pinhead? For the help of the good citizens of this town, I am. I've been Mayor of Brimfol 10 minutes now and before I'm through, you'll see.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill, this could lead to trouble.

[Jingles]

Yeah. Jingles, let's get over there. Come on.

[Mayor Brimble]

Dark throw right now, Mayor.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Your 10 minutes are up. Billy shot the mayor. Mel Sutter did it.

[Jingles]

He sure did. Grab him, partner.

[Mel Sutter]

Look out, Shutter.

[Mayor Brimble]

Here comes hick. You better keep out of this, Hick, if you know what's good for you.

[Jingles]

You're under arrest. M. Sir.

[Mayor Brimble]

You're taking a big chance, Hickok. My gun's still out, and you ain't drawed.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You'd never get us both, Sutter. Now drop that gun and stand. Hit.

[Mayor Brimble]

I stand nothing, G. And blast.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Get him shot.

[Jingles]

Don't move, G. Pick up those guns, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, Bill. Sure spread them around when he starts.

[Mayor Brimble]

Shooting, don't he get some.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Do something.

[Mel Sutter]

Dry up, Peony. Cut a crease in your arm. You ought to know better than to draw down on Wild Bill in the first place.

[Mayor Brimble]

Well, you said we couldn't let him.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Stop us from getting the mayor and taking care of.

[Mayor Brimble]

Shut up.

[Mel Sutter]

You talk too much, Sutter.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, from now on, he's going to be talking to himself in jail until the judge gets around to his trial. And that shouldn't take long either.

[Mel Sutter]

You ain't taking him to jail, Hickok.

[Jingles]

He's a killer. Gadson. He's gone to jail. Stand aside. Move out, Sutter.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, and the next Jasper that tries to stop us had better draw fast. Now, step along.

[Mayor Brimble]

Go on.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Quit poking me with that six gun.

[Mel Sutter]

You can't hold him, Hickok. You ain't got a jail strong enough. Take my warning, you tin horn. Lawman Mel Sutter will never come to trial.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Doggone it, Bill, if they're gonna do something, why don't they do us?

[Jingles]

Eddie Jingles, we've got all night till morning.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, and that don't make me feel any better either. I'm as jumpy as a jaybird on a barbed wire fan.

[Jingles]

Well, if they try to take Sutter out of this, Jill, they're gonna have a fight on their hands.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, what's that, Sutter?

[Mayor Brimble]

You gonna let me starve in here, Hickok? Law says you gotta feed me while I'm here.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Killer like you don't deserve the.

[Jingles]

Go across to the cafe and get him some food, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill, I ain't gonna leave you here alone.

[Jingles]

It's all right. If there's any shooting, you'll hear it.

[Mayor Brimble]

What about it?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You gonna feed me or ain't you? No, I'd like to feed him. All right. Horseshoe nails with cactus for dessert.

[Jingles]

Might bring back a couple of sandwiches. And some coffee for me too, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right. You lock this door behind me, Phil. Don't let nobody next you go. Let them have it. Build her out there. Get some.

[Kellogg]

Today's Wild Bill Hickok story continues in just one minute. Just as Jingles opened the door to start across to the cafe the A burst of gunfire stopped him short.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Build her out there, Cat game.

[Jingles]

Close the door, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I'll blow out the lounge now. At least they can't see us in here.

[Jingles]

We can't see much of them either, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I can see a shadow there.

[Jingles]

Nice shooting, partner. That'll discourage them.

[Mayor Brimble]

You don't stand a chance, Hickok. You might as well give up now and send Sutter out to us.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Not by a jug full. You smell sneak and owl.

[Mayor Brimble]

Hoot. If you want him that bad, Gatson.

[Jingles]

You'Ll have to come in and get him.

[Mayor Brimble]

We're coming after him, all right.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hurry up and watch where you shoot.

[Mayor Brimble]

And you might hit me too.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Low down. Farm it. I wish they would.

[Jingles]

No, you don't, Jingles. We've got to see that seller comes to trial.

[Mel Sutter]

Hey, who's that shooting?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill, what do you make of that?

[Jingles]

Those shots came from up the street.

[Mel Sutter]

All right, you guys, hit the saddle.

[Mayor Brimble]

The whole town's out after us.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

We'll be back, Bill. The Do Right boys are taking a hand. They're. They're running Gadson off.

[Jingles]

That pulls us out of a hole for a while, Jingles. But Gadson said he was going to be back.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now, dog on it. Now what?

[Jingles]

Look out the window, Jingles ain't going.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

To do any good. What do you think I am, a cat or a hoodie owl?

[Mayor Brimble]

Mr. Hickok, it's Ted Sherman. You all right in there?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Ted Sherman. Now that's a relief.

[Jingles]

Light the lamb, Jingles. I'll let him in.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure, Bill.

[Jingles]

Come on in, Ted. We got a lot to thank you and the boys for.

[Mayor Brimble]

Glad we came along in time to help you out, Marshall. That Gadson's had his day. We've made up our minds to cut him off at the pockets.

[Jingles]

That may not be so easy, Ted. We've got to get a conviction on set of first. By the way, Jingles, you better check on the prisoner.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, I'll take a look.

[Mayor Brimble]

You reckon old Judge Pitcher will give a fair trial and just sentence against Sutter for shooting the mayor Hickok? He's never gone against Gadson yet.

[Jingles]

You're right, Ted. Maybe we better take Sutter to the county seat for trial.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Billy's gone. Come quick.

[Mayor Brimble]

What? Who's gone? What's he talking about?

[Jingles]

Sutter, I guess.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill. Look at that window. They pull those bars out clean as a whistle while he was gun fighting.

[Mayor Brimble]

You mean they broke center out of the cell?

[Jingles]

Looks that way. Teddy's long.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

That coyote Gadson put one over on us, Bill.

[Jingles]

He sure did, partner. But we'll get Sutter back and make him stand trial if we have to turn every rock in the state.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh now, Bill, I got an awful backache just hearing you talk like that.

[Mayor Brimble]

Now we'll give you all the help you want, Marshall. Just call on us.

[Jingles]

Thanks, Ted. But I guess this job is up to Jingles and me.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah. Doggone. We were soft headed enough to let them free that varmint.

[Jingles]

You do right boys. Better get busy and pick yourselves a new mayor. Ted.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah. If you don't, first thing you know, Gadson will have a stranglehold on the whole town again.

[Jingles]

All right, Jingles, check your guns and ammunition. We've got our work cut out for us.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now. What are we gonna do, Bill? We've been riding for darn near 24 hours and ain't found Sutter yet. Why don't we just take Gadson to jail?

[Jingles]

We haven't got enough to hold him, mon Jingle. But let's go into his gambling palace and talk to him anyhow, Bill, Hickok.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Gadsden has every gun tote malhoot in the county inside his place. I ain't hankering to get all shot up till I've had some sleep.

[Jingles]

Later, Jingles. This may not take long.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

One doggone minute is too long, Bill. It's suicide to go in there steady for understudy.

[Jingles]

Hey, got some seniors.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, and so's all the rest of those squid eyed gunfighter.

[Jingles]

You let me to the talking, Jingles, and don't bat an eye no matter what I say. Cardigans.

[Mel Sutter]

What do you want here, Hickok?

[Jingles]

Well, maybe I want to tell you we found Sutter.

[Mel Sutter]

You found? But what are you up to, Hickok?

[Jingles]

Nothing. Except taking him before a judge to be tried for shooting the mayor yesterday. Cats.

[Mel Sutter]

You're bluffing Am I?

[Jingles]

Come on, Jingles. Now we can get some sleep.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Good. Long gone it, Bill. You said we were going to get some sleep. What'd you drag me around behind Gadson's place for?

[Jingles]

Quiet, Jingles. I don't think we'll have long to wait.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

What are we waiting for? Why'd you practically tell Gadsden we found Sutter when you know doggone well we didn't?

[Jingles]

Well, if he wants to believe that, that's all right with me. I thought I'd give him something to worry about. Pardon me.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hey, Bill, look.

[Jingles]

Yeah, I guess Gadson was a little worried. All right, Jingle. This time he's not going to get away from us.

[Mel Sutter]

Buckshot, Come here, boy.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

No more riding and quit your fret.

[Jingles]

And Jingle, hit that salad.

[Mayor Brimble]

All right, Buckshot, Stretch out.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah. Jeff. Joker. If that Jasper gets away this time, I may never get to sleep again. There he goes, Bill. Up the hill.

[Jingles]

They're right on his tail, Jingles. We don't want to lose him up there. Buckshot.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Where is he leading us, Bill?

[Jingles]

Right to the spot we've been looking before, all last night and today. Or I missed my guest.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, well, why didn't you ask him before?

[Jingles]

Because I didn't think of it, I guess.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Well, you just got to learn to think faster than get off.

[Jingles]

Okay, hold it, partner.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh, Joker. Bill, if that's Gadson, he's getting off his horse. Hey, ain't that a cabin? In the shadow in the moonlight there?

[Jingles]

Yeah. Come on. We're at the end of the trail. Stand there, Buck. John.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, you too, Joker. Now, don't go away. I don't want to walk home.

[Jingles]

Now, be quiet and follow me.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right, but I don't see what he's doing. Come up and up here in the middle of the night all of a sudden. What do you reckon he got hit out in that cabin?

[Jingles]

Bill, you're talking when you should be listening. Jingle. Hey, hold him.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sorry.

[Jingles]

Now we'll see in the dark.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Quiet. Oh, Turner.

[Mayor Brimble]

Turner, you here?

[Kellogg]

Sure, I'm here, G. Where'd you think I was?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Bill, did you hear that?

[Mel Sutter]

That blasted Hickok pulled a bluff on me.

[Jingles]

Hickok?

[Mayor Brimble]

Where'd you see him?

[Mel Sutter]

He come to my place tonight. Told me he'd found you and was taking you somewhere for trial.

[Kellogg]

I ain't seen him.

[Mayor Brimble]

He's played you for a sucker.

[Jingles]

Gets here.

[Mayor Brimble]

What was that?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Quiet, Jingles.

[Kellogg]

Quiet.

[Mel Sutter]

I heard something out there.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, and he's sure going to be surprised when he finds out what it was, too.

[Mayor Brimble]

They're just getting jumpy.

[Mel Sutter]

Guess you hadn't pulled that durn pool stunt of shooting the mayor, we wouldn't be in this pig, Sutter.

[Mayor Brimble]

I. Don't go throwing all the blame on me. You said get him out of the way. What are you scared of anyway? We got enough gunfighters to handle Hickok any day.

[Mel Sutter]

Sure, sure, we have a. Yes, I am getting jumpy. Sure, we got plenty of guns on our side. I'm going to continue to run the town of Brimpole. Just cuz Hickok showed up for a day don't mean nothing.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure is talking himself into it, ain't he, Bill?

[Jingles]

Yeah. Guess we've heard enough, partner. We going to take him now, Bill? Might as well. Come on. You take the window and I'll walk in the door.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Okay, Bill. Now be careful, sir.

[Mel Sutter]

I did hear something out there. Who's there?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Tell him, Bill.

[Mel Sutter]

Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Wild Bill and Jingles.

[Mayor Brimble]

Let him have it.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Get some. Shoot your fool.

[Kellogg]

Today's Wild Bill Hickok story continues in just one minute, in the split second it took Mel Sutter to recognize Wild Bill, Hickok and Jingles in the half dark, Gadson's guns began to bark.

[Mayor Brimble]

Good shot, Gadson. You got the big one.

[Jingles]

Jingles, are you hit?

[Mel Sutter]

Now's our chance, Hunter.

[Mayor Brimble]

Start out and run for it.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

All right, Bill. Don't let him get away.

[Mel Sutter]

Come back here, you varmint.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You'll never get that close again.

[Mayor Brimble]

Hickok.

[Jingles]

Jingles, where'd. Where'd he hit you?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh, doggone it. Why'd I have to get in the way of that Jasper's lamp? Now they got away again.

[Jingles]

Oh, forget it, partner. We'll find them.

[Mayor Brimble]

Now where'd he get you?

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh, in the lake, Bill. I got no feeling in it at all.

[Jingles]

Then hang on to me. We'll get you in the cabin, get some light and work by.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Oh, little old lead slug ain't gonna stop me, you know that.

[Jingles]

Take it easy, will you? I can go borrow buckboard from one of the ranches and haul you back to town.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Buckboard? No, sir. I rode out here and I'll ride back. You ain't hauling me into town and no buckboard like a cart of wood.

[Mayor Brimble]

Gadson, you sure slowed up Hickok when you plug Jingles. They'd have had us cold in another minute.

[Mel Sutter]

Yeah, Hickok ain't so big. I wish I'd have plugged him instead.

[Mayor Brimble]

Coming into town. Better keep your eyes open. Those do right boys are still out to get us.

[Mel Sutter]

Yeah, I Was thinking about that. If they got any idea they're gonna run me out of town. They're bulldogging the wrong steer.

[Mayor Brimble]

They get some. Look, lights in the meeting hall.

[Mel Sutter]

Hey, there's a bunch of men in that hole.

[Mayor Brimble]

Shutter.

[Jingles]

Yeah?

[Mayor Brimble]

You reckon it's the do right crowd?

[Mel Sutter]

Well, I know one way to find out. Come on, we'll give a listen outside the window.

[Mayor Brimble]

Yeah, that's the do right gang, all right.

[Mel Sutter]

Yeah, this is good enough to hear what they're saying.

[Mayor Brimble]

Well, now that we're all here, gents, let's discuss how we're going to rid ourselves of Gadson and his crew of gunslingers. That's that Ted Sherman talking so big.

[Mel Sutter]

Yeah, talking too big. Come on.

[Mayor Brimble]

What are you going to do?

[Mel Sutter]

Getson, fix his wagon right now. We'll never have a better change. Let's go get the boys. We can wipe out those mey mouth do riders before Hickok gets back.

[Mayor Brimble]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

[Mel Sutter]

All the boys are here. Good. All right, all right, you guys. Come on now. Dry up and listen to me. It's come time for a showdown with those blasted do riders. All right then, fill your chambers and follow me.

[Mayor Brimble]

How do you figure to do this, boss?

[Mel Sutter]

Easy. I spotted that wagon full of dry hay on the high side above the hall. Just set a match to it and turn it loose.

[Mayor Brimble]

You mean burn down the meeting hall.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

With them in it?

[Mel Sutter]

Yeah, and if any of them run out, they'll gun them down.

[Mayor Brimble]

Oh, now, boss, that's wholesale slaughter.

[Mel Sutter]

You getting water in your back bones, Hunter?

[Mayor Brimble]

Oh, no.

[Mel Sutter]

I said it's going to be a showdown and I meant it. Now here's the wagon. I'll strike a match to it. All right, now you men surround that meeting hall.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Shoot the first sick and it's me too. You low down salamanders.

[Mel Sutter]

All right, you got here just in time for the fireworks. Hickok, gun him down.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You jugheads chewed ice head. Ain't none of your pack of coyotes got enough nerve to swap lead with Wild Bill Gadson?

[Mel Sutter]

Well, I have.

[Jingles]

Now, Gadson, I've been mighty easy with you, but your time's run out. Call Ted Sherman and his men jingle.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Sure, Bill. Hey, Ted. Ted Sherman. Bring your boys and come on out. We got some fish to fry.

[Mel Sutter]

Solder Blaster, hide. You got us into all this by shooting the mayor.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

You ain't blaming me, G. It was your idea.

[Jingles]

Well, you're both going to pay for it when the circuit judge gets through with you.

[Mel Sutter]

Circuit judge? We ain't waiting for Him? We got a judge right here. Judge Pitcher.

[Jingles]

That won't work, Gadson. We know Judge pictures under your thumb.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, and you can't buy the circuit judge. You'll get what's coming to you.

[Mel Sutter]

Oh, no, you don't. Come on, Sutter, let's make a break.

[Jingles]

Not so fast, mister. Hold it right there.

[Mel Sutter]

Why, you pinhorn hero. I'm gonna have the pleasure of busting in your paint.

[Jingles]

Like I said, Gatson, I've been right easy with you.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Now you fold up, Sutter, unless you want some of the same.

[Mayor Brimble]

Mr. Hickok, looks like you and Jingles got here just in time.

[Jingles]

Take your boys round all these gun slicks up, Ted.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, we'll hurt them all off the jail and clean up your town with one big shipment to the end of the line.

[Mayor Brimble]

We sure do thank you, gents. Mr. Hickok.

[Jingles]

Well, I guess all you need now is a new mayor, Ted.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

I reckon Ted Sherman makes a good mayor, Wild Bill. Now you're talking, gents.

[Jingles]

Well, city elections are none of our businessmen, but you could do a lot worse than Ted Sherman.

[Mayor Brimble]

Well, let's elect him right now.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Only in favor say aye. Well, that's about the quickest election I ever saw. Give him a speech, Ted.

[Mayor Brimble]

Well, well, gents, I've never hankered to be a politician and I don't reckon I'll start now. But if you want me for your mayor, that's one job I'll take. And I've just got one thing to say while Bill and Jingle just gave us a big hand in cleaning out these mavericks at Gadson.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Hooray. Oh, excuse me.

[Mayor Brimble]

I. I figure that's the end of their kind in these parts for good. I thank you.

[Jingles]

That's a way to talk, Ted. Good luck, Mayor.

[Wild Bill Hickok]

Yeah, we sure had a pile of pleasure working for you, Ted. Mr. Mayor, that is. And now that you are the mayor, I wish you'd pass a law that everybody's got to get some sleep at least once every 24 hours.

[Kellogg]

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