At the Calum! Ho! Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince,
specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier, the saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry. Is it white dogs' cancer?
It's Shoshone. That'd make it white dogs, unless there's more of a Shoshone migration than we know about. You can tell from here at your show, Shoni. Look at their huts down there, Mr. Sybrits. Made of grass and brush woven together, not skins like the Sioux and Cheyenne.
Doesn't look like they're any lodge poles. They're aren't. They don't have any roofs, any lodge poles. Just a half circle of woven grass. Harrison! Yes, sir? Bring on the white flag, Harrison. You and I are riding in.
Yes, sir. You'll keep the patrol up here, Mr. Sybrits. Keep your eye on Harrison's flag. Long as he flies it, there's no trouble. Yes, sir. White Dog will understand that you've just come to powwow with him.
Going in this way he'll understand. Ready Harrison? Yes sir. Let's go. Good luck sir. Thank you Mr. Sybrits. Watch it down through here Harrison. I'm watching. Major said a couple of hundred shows showing him.
Looks smaller than that to me Harrison. I'll eat everyone over a hundred with fine cotton. I don't have your appetite but a hundred's near or right. Ah, they're beginning to notice us. I'll lose all feeling in my arm if a hole is flag any higher.
Sooner the feeling than the arm, Harrison. Yes, sir. Funny they wouldn't have no lookouts, Posty. Well, either they're not expecting any trouble or they don't care. You, lead me to white dog. White dog in Carson.
