Transcript

It's Hop Along Cassidy! With action and suspense, out of the Old West comes the most famous hero of them all, Hop Along Cassidy, starring William Boy. The ring of the Silver Spurs heralds the most amazing man ever to ride the prairies of the early West, Hop Along Cassidy.

This famous hero thrills his 60 million fans with action and dangerous adventures. In the role of Hop Along Cassidy is the popular star of the motion picture series William Boy, and appearing as that laughable old character California is Andy Clyde.

Now to our story, Hoppy takes a chance. September at the bar 20, like all cattle ranchers is a happy month for the line riders. The lonely cowboy whose duty it is to patrol the boundaries of the ranch and see to it that the outfit stock stays on the reservation.

It's a happy time because it marks the end of the season for them and the friendly atmosphere of the ranch house just around the corner. But Bob Cranston was different from the rest. There was a frown on his face as Hoppy rode up to him on the ridge south of the bar 20 ranch house.

Hi there, Woody. How's it going? Can't complain, Hoppy. Good. I'll figure on setting you out of the center tomorrow. Make a circuit of the ranch boundaries, run down the straids, and kick any of sounders.

Counts back onto their own territory. Take you a week or so. Okay, boss. How do you like the new job? Fine, I reckon. Wonder if I might keep right at it on through the winter after cutting out in Brandon.

You mean you want that winter job? Sure, why not? Bucking this snowdrift and running down weak doggies in a blizzard. I'm not the blind boy. You hammered like a stuck pig when I am on assignment like that.
