What are you gonna do when we get back from this trip, Jingle?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, the first thing I'm gonna do is to ask for. I can't afford to live on what I'm making.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Oh, I don't know. You look pretty well fed to me.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

But prices are going up, Bill. Why, just a plate of ham and eggs cost 30 cents now.

Hi. I went into a butcher shop the other day and got charged 80 cents.

I didn't buy anything. Butcher said I looked at. Look at a steak. 80 cents worth.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Now jingle, you don't expect me to believe that.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Bill.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Look down the road.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Where? Yeah.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Who?

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Buckshot, partner. That team's running away with that wagon.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

They sure are. When they get to that turn down by the bridge, there's gonna be trouble.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Come on, let's stop them.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Get up that buckshot, Jack. Joker. I might have known things were too peaceful to last.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Whoever's driving that rig hasn't got a chance of stopping those spooked up horses.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

They're really moving. Come on, Joker, we gotta catch em.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

All right, you take one side, I'll take the other. Jingles, get over that shot.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Move. Move.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Joker, we can't let him hit that bridge.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Hey, Jingles. Couple of youngsters driving that rig.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Hey, you're right, Bill. A boy and a girl. Get in there, Joker. All right, grab, partner. I got them more than a hole.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Whoa.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now, now easy, easy you hammerheads.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Whoa now. There, that's better. They were running away and Bob couldn't stop them.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

They sure were running away. You two kids were really having the trouble.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Thanks for stopping them for me.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

That's all right, son. Glad we came along.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, they'll be all right now. So. So just get your horses out of the way.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, we'd better hang onto them for a little ways to make sure they don't run away again.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, I don't want you hanging onto them. Now, now get out of the way.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Hey, now wait a minute. Don't point that shotgun at me.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

You better do what Bob says. He shot at the other men that tried to stop us.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now put that cannon away, Bobby. You're liable to Hurt somebody?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

We don't know you, and you might be part of the gang.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

What gang?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, we're not part of any gang. This here is Marshal Wild Bill Hickok, and I'm Jingle.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Wild Bill Hickok?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

That's right. And Jingle.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Watch out, Jenny. It might a trick.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

It's no trick, son. Here's my papers and badge.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Look, Bobby, it's true. We finally found someone that can help us. Oh, yeah, that's great. I mean, I really don't need help, Jenny. I can handle things all right.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I'll bet you can at that, Bobby.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Sure, you look like you can handle most anything, but. Oh, well, maybe Bill and I could sort of give you a hand, huh?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, maybe that would be a good idea.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, now, you two climb down off of that wagon for just a minute and let those horses calm down before you start out again.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Oh, we can't do that. We're in a towering hurry to get the town.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Those horses are still pretty spooky.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I can't help it. This is real important.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I'll tell you what. We'll tie Buckshot and Joker on behind the wagon and Bill and I'll drive for a while. That'll give you a chance to rest us bell, Bobby.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, all right, but you don't have to. I can drive all right.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

No, we'll be glad to. Give us a chance to get out of the saddle.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Yeah.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Get around, Hilker.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Oh, Bob, isn't it wonderful? I was so scared all the time up till now. I was a little scared myself. But don't tell Wild Bill. We gotta make him think we're real brave.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

All right, let's get started.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now, jump down off the seat, kids, and Bill and I'll take over for a spell.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

You gotta keep a tight rein on them, Wild Bill. When those men were shooting at us, it made the horses awful jumpy. That's why they ran away.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I'll watch em. Bob. Get up there.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Here we go. Bobby, you said somebody was shooting at you. You want to tell us about it?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Maybe I better not. Pop said not to talk to nobody till I got his claim filed. But, Bob, I bet Pop didn't think we'd meet Wild Bill or Jingles either. Oh, I guess he didn't. Well, Pop got shot early this morning.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, they were shooting at your Pop?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Then they shot at us later.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, the Sam James.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Let Bob tell a jingle.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, sure. Go ahead, Bobby.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, Pop's been working this little mine in the hills back of our farm and he found silver in it. Real silver. Pop says now we'll be rich. And I can have a new dress and a pony to ride and all kinds of things.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, now, ain't that wonderful, Jenny, it.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Ain'T Pop's mind that we get to town and get the claim recorder.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Well, we'll see that you do that, all right.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Sure we will, Bob. Look coming down that hill where two riders jingles.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

It's them two sidewinders again. Give me the shotgun, Jenny.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Hold on now, Bob. I'll do the shooting if any has to be done.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Take these horses, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Sure, Bill. Get out there, you.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

You kids keep your heads down.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I'm not as scared of them Loud Bill.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I know you're not, Bobby, but keep your head down anyhow.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Bill, they're shooting at us.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Your luck's that way.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

They're getting closer, Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

They're traveling a lot faster than we are.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Then I guess we'll have to slow them down.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Hear that, Charlie? That's the signal of one of the best food providers in the forest. That's the noise a woodchuck makes when he's got something specially good tasting for his youngsters to eat. It's the signal he uses to call them to breakfast.

[Announcer/Narrator]

Speaking of signals for breakfast, I'd say snap, crackle, pop sure fills the bill. It tells you something good is coming. A breakfast of delicious Kellogg's Rice Krispies, the world's only talking cereal. Pour on the milk or cream and they sing out Snap, crackle, Pop. To tell you how fresh and crisp they are. And to get this special freshness and crispness, Kellogg's Rice Krispies are tumble toasted in big rotary ovens. They are popped out of the ovens, crisp and golden, toasty all over.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

My advice to you wranglers is to be like the young woodchucks. When you hear that famous snap, crackle, pop come a running. Cause it's the signal there's something special good to eat for breakfast. Kellogg's Rice Krispies the only talking cereal Snap, crackle, Pop Enjoy a bowl full tomorrow morning with fruit or berries on top. Mmm. Delicious. 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 Crispies Kellogg's rounds.

[Announcer/Narrator]

Wild Bill, Hickok and Jingles saved two youngsters from a runaway team and soon found themselves in deeper trouble. Driving on into town, they found two riders pounding downhill to cut them off and shooting as they came toward the wagon.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Hey, Wild Bill, you shot one man's hat right off.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Yeah, and the other one's probably got a hole in his shirt. Bill done this.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

They slowed up.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

That proves they're smart. Anybody would slow up with Bill shooting at them.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, now, what are they doing? He. They're hitting down that little draw.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Probably going to figure some other way to bush wake us. They don't like them bullets flying around their ear.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

We'll have to watch out for them. I don't think they're through with us yet.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I sure wish I knew what they were after.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Maybe you ought to tell us some more about them, Bobby.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Oh, sure. They're after this claim I'm taking to town.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

The claim to your dad's silver mine?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

That's right. Only it isn't his, so I get this recorded. Whoop.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Whoa, you hay burners. Slow down a little now.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

They'd sure like to get this claim.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

How come your pop was working a mine when he didn't have a claim to it?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

He didn't know there was silver in it till yesterday.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

How'd these claim tempers hear about it then?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I told them about it. I didn't know who they were. Oh, it's not your fault, Jenny. You see, Wild Bill, she was so happy about our having some money for a change that when these two riders stopped at the farm, she told them all about the silver. I wish I hadn't said anything now. Pop's certain those mean old men are after us and everything.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now, don't you worry, Jenny honey. You're not the first woman to cause a heap of trouble by talking too much.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Well, after those men heard about the silver, they tried to make Pop tell them where it was, but he chased him off with a shotgun. Then this morning, they came back and shot him when he went out of the cabin for some water.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Is your pop gonna be all right, Bobby?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

He said he'd be all right till I could get back with a doctor from town. But he said the most important thing was for me to bring the claim into town and file it.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

How'd you get away from these mine? Stealing polecats after your pop was shot.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I ran outdoors with a shotgun and started blasting away at him.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

You sure got plenty of sand for a man your size.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

You sure have.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

That wasn't all he did, Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, isn't that enough?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

When we started out for town in the wagon, those men followed us and started shooting. That's when the horses ran away and Bob chased them off again.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

And that's when we found you.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

That's right.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, you just stop worrying for a while, Bill, and I'll see that you get that claim filed. And get a doctor back to your pop. Get out there. Ho, ho, ho.

[Storm (Villain)]

All right, Ace, pull up here.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Well, what kind of a bright idea you got this time, Jughead?

[Storm (Villain)]

You better watch what you call me, Ace. You're gonna be in real trouble. I'm still running this show.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

A fine job you're doing. Shoot the old man, get us chased off the place with buckshot, get us blasted again. We try to stop the kids on the road and darn, they get us killed by them two strangers that are driving the wagon for the kids. What you gonna try next?

[Storm (Villain)]

You keep blabbing and I may not even tell you.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

All right, I'll shut up. But everything keeps going wrong. It's got me jumpy.

[Storm (Villain)]

Nothing's going wrong this time.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Now what are you gonna do?

[Storm (Villain)]

I'm gonna get the location papers in that silver mine. We know the kids got em in his pocket. Cause we seen this old man give him to him while we was hiding back in the barn.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

That's right, Storm.

[Announcer/Narrator]

All right.

[Storm (Villain)]

Now we found a place where we can stop that wagon. Right here where the road goes between them two big rocks.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Sure that'll work.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

What about them two straight shooting strangers? Stop that wagon, they'll come out spitting lead.

[Storm (Villain)]

They won't get a chance to shoot. We're gonna shoot first.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

You must think you're pretty fast on the draw.

[Storm (Villain)]

No, I won't be drawn. You and I are gonna hide in them rocks. When that wagon comes through, we'll be waiting with a gun muzzle poking right over the top. We'll blast those two jaspers right out of this world before they know what hit them. Then we'll take care of them two smart kids. All right, come on.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

All right.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

We could have saved all this trouble if we could have got the old man to tell us where the mine is.

[Storm (Villain)]

Ah, forget it. All right, go on. Get up on them rocks. When that wagon comes along, I don't want nobody left alive.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, kids, it won't be long now.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Just through that narrow pass down the hill and we'll be in town.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I'll sure be glad. I just gotta get that claim file. Now we gotta get a doctor for Pop.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now don't you worry about a thing now. Bill and I got everything. Everything under control. What's the matter? Buckshot? Don't you like it back there behind the wagon?

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I think he hears something. Jingles, pull up a minute.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, Bill, let's not stop.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Now pull up. I want to take a listen.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, all right. Who are there? Whoa. I say. Shut up, Joker. Bill wants to listen and you start balling like a branded cab.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Both of them have spotted something, Jingles.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

It's another horse somewhere. Sounds like it's up in those rocks ahead of us.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

It sure does. There's horses in there. I'll just bet there's a couple of riders, too.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Yeah, them two bushwhackers, maybe.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Yeah, maybe. I don't want to take a chance and drive this wagon through there. Junior, Bobby might get hurt.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Well, how are we gonna get to town? We can't drive the wagon around the hill and across all that rough country. We gotta go down the road.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Buckshot and Joker can go across country.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Bill Hickok, you ain't gonna leave these two kids with this wagon while you and me take off on Buckshot and Joker?

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Nope. We're gonna put Jenny and Bob on our horses. You and I'll drive that wagon through the pass with those bushwhackers waiting for us.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Oh, goody, Bob. We get to ride Buckshot and Joker. Yeah, think of that.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, well, that's better. I was beginning to think that. Now, just a doggone minute. We're going into that pass and get our ears blown off.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

The important thing is to get that claim into town. Now, climb down, kids, and get ready to ride.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

You better ride Joker, Bobby. He ain't got quite as good sense as Buckshot.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Buckshot? Do what I tell him to, Wild Bill.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

He sure will. Jenny, you just let him have his hat and hang on tight.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I'll shorten up these stirrups for you. Honey, your legs aren't as long as Bill.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Now remember, Bobby, you head straight for the land office and file that deed. Then get the doctor and head back to the ranch to help your pop.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Don't worry, Wild Bill. Nobody's gonna stop us when we're riding Buckshot and Joker.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Nobody's even gonna get close to you.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

But what about you and Jingles? When will we see you again?

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

We'll catch up to you someplace after we get the wagon through the pass and pull those varmints off your trail.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I hope nothing happens to you.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

So do I, Jenny. Don't you worry. You just get started and ride.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Yeah, we better go. Come on, Jenny. Hump Joker up, boy. Go, Buckshot.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

There they go, Bill. They sure are a couple of great little kids.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

They sure are. Now, we gotta take care of those pole cats that are on their trail. All right, let's Go Jingles.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh yeah. Them buzzards up in the rocks. Bill. Bill. We stand an awful good chance of getting filled full of lead driving in there.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I know it, partner. But we'll keep those jaspers busy while the kids get a good start.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I guess you're right. I'll drive the team, Bill. Cause you shoot a little better than I do. And I got a hunch we're gonna need the best shooting we can get.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Yeah, and plenty of it hit up there.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Move along you critters. How horny. Toes. They got a beat on us already. That one was close.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I can see where the smoke came from, but I can't get a shot at them yet.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Fine thing we're setting up here on this wagon box like a couple of birds in a turkey shoe. Faster. You hate burners. If I'm going to be a target, I want to be a moving target.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Wranglers. One of the big reasons why Kellogg's Marshmallow Crispy Squares are so popular is because the recipe is so doggone simple to follow. It's just as clear and plain as a pony's tracks cross a stream bed. It's so quick and simple that you can follow it without any trouble at all. Like I've been a saying, even some of you young cowpokes could do it without even batting an eye. And say those Kellogg's Marshmallow Crispy squares are sure some treat. A real western treat. Mm. Makes me want to whip up a batch of em just thinking about em. Matter of fact, I think I'll do that just right after the show. So why don't you do the same? Or maybe Momma'd rather do it herself. Either way, the whole family's in for some delightful eatin'. But make sure you got some Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Marshmallows on hand. And then you just follow the simple nine minute easy does it recipe. That's right. On the Kellogg's Rice Krispies package. You try a batch and see if you don't agree with your old pal Slim that Kellogg's Marshmallow Crispy Squares are the best treat ever.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

After.

[Announcer/Narrator]

While Bill, Hickok and Jingles had sent the young brother and sister off to town on Buckshot and Joker, the two lawmen started through the narrow pass in the wagon to divert the attention of the bandits. As they drove into the steep canyon, they were met by withering rifle fire from the rocks.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Bill, it's a winner. We ain't dead yet. They keep bounting slugs off the Wagon wheel. They're going to bounce one off my head sooner or later.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

We won't get a shot at them until we get through that narrow part.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

That's what worries me. They get all the shots.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Lie down on the wagon bed. That'll give us some protection.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I'll take all the protection I can get. I just wish I had a suit of armor at the team.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Right between those rocks. As soon as we turn the corner, I'll open fire.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Yeah. We're still alive when we get around that corner. Wow.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Wow.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

That was real. Trolls. Get over there. Now get around.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Nice driving, Jingle. Looks like we're gonna make it.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Doggone it, we ain't gonna make it. If you don't start pouring some lead into those rocks.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I'll be able to see them in just a second now. There they are.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Did you get them, Bill?

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

I got one. The other took off through those rocks.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Probably hadn't Br's horn.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Well, in here. Stop.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Okay, easy there now. Slow now.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Slow.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Where's the omry?

[Announcer/Narrator]

I hit Jingles.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Let's grab him.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Whoa, now. All right. Don't try any tricks. Don't worry.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

One of you slugs like to tore my arm off.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

You're lucky it didn't tear your head off. When Wild Bill Hickok gets mad and starts shooting it can get downright dangerous for snakes like you.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Well, Bill Hickok?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

That's right. And I'm Jingle.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

What happened to your partner?

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Had yellow back pup. Storm took off when I got hit. I wish he knew he had Hickok in his trail. He'd be running still faster.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

Which way do you think he's headed? Talk fast because we're in a big hurry.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

I don't know. Probably headed for town, though. Just crazy to get his hands on that silver claim them kids are carrying. He was willing to kill them and you too, to get it.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Bill, we gotta stop you.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

We sure do. Dump this gin in the wagon while I get his rifle. Six Gun Jingle.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

I won't give you no trouble. I'm glad I'm out of the whole thing.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

You ain't out of nothing. You got a big long stretch in the pokey coming to you for all the shooting and shenanigans you pulled so far. Now, getting that, I make kitten, I.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Didn'T want no part of killing them kids.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Your partner Storm isn't going to kill them either. Not if we can help it.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

All right, let's get a rolling.

[Slim (Kellogg's Commercial Voice)]

Jingles.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

He's riding a fresh horse and he's got a head Start?

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Yeah, and we're driving a team. But you watch me wheel this rig into town, man. We're going to just fly here up there hard on you, four footed, lop eared coyote. Let's roll. How?

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Well, now, let's see how this claim's all in order. I'll just put it in the book and give a receipt to take home to your pop, Sonny.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

That'll be fine, mister. But would you please hurry? It's awful important.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Yeah, hurry as fast as you can. Gotta be sure it's all legal, you know.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

We know that, but we gotta get the doctor and hurry back home.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Doctor.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

My goodness. Somebody hurt?

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Yes. You see Jenny? Look. Come right in here, Bob. He's one of those men.

[Storm (Villain)]

So there you are, you claim stealing young whippersnappers.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

What's all this about?

[Storm (Villain)]

Don't record that claim, Jinx. These two brats stole it from me.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

You don't say we did not. You and your partner have been trying to steal it from my pa. I've had enough trouble from you, mister. Now stand back or I'll pull both triggers on this shotgun.

[Storm (Villain)]

You heard the young varmint, Jinx. You saw him pull a gun on me.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Now hold on, sonny.

[Storm (Villain)]

I'm gonna blast him in self defense.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

Oh, no.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

You're not gonna blast anybody's storm.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Hold it right there and keep your hands up high there. Wild Bill, Hick, Hock and Jingles. How do you do? Howdy, Mr. Jinx. Looks like we caught up with this varmint just in time.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

He said we stole his claim, Wild Bill. And he was gonna shoot Bob.

[Jingles (Andy Devine)]

That's all over now, kids. We got both of them.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Oh, no.

[Storm (Villain)]

You have a Bill.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

You look out. Well, well, well. They never seem to learn not to try to draw on Bill.

[Jinx (Villain Partner)]

Jumping mavericks. I've seen Bill draw and shoot before, but I can never quite believe it.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

Now you just fill out those papers, Mr. Jinx. So Jenny can get her new dress and her pony and her pop can get well and work that new silver mine.

[Narrator/Child Characters (Bob and Jenny)]

I don't think we want ponies after riding Buckshot and Joker.

[Wild Bill Hickok (Guy Madison)]

I don't care whether you buy ponies or horses or mules. But you can't have Buckshot and Joker. Why, they saved our lives again today. And they saved yours. Why, we wouldn't sell them for all the silver in your pop's new mine. No, sir, Ray Bob, sir.

[Announcer/Narrator]
