Now for the thrilling adventures of Lightning Jim. Alright Tom, I got to be talking about the other. Come fight, eh, Red? Yeah, some fight. We ain't troopers. The kids playing cowboy in India. I don't get you.
Listen, they chase us all over the country to fight some red skins. We got more right to this land than we have. Now, what do we get for? Rotten food in our hard livin'. Who cares if we can kill?
We're troopers. It's our duty to be killed. But I'm sick of the whole plain business. We sure was crazy than this. Do you mean that, boys? What? Colonel Buck. Well, your boys don't think much of the Army life, do you?
Ah, we... I was just making a little fun, Colonel. A little fun, huh? I don't think either of you realize what it really means to be a United States soldier. I'm given both of your ten days in the guardhouse to think it over.
In the early days of the American frontier, the government established forts and army outposts to help bring law and order to the wild and partially settled region known as the Great American Plain. The brave troopers encountered the blizzards of snow that swept down from the north, and the scorching winds of the desert.
They were attacked by the hostile tribes of Indians who bitterly opposed the white man's advance into the red man's hunting grounds. Life at the forts and outposts was hard, and many were killed, a life that weakened the courage of strong men.
Assisting the troopers and local peace officers were the fearless United States marshals, the G men of the old west. The thrills of those history-making times come back to us in the adventures of United States Marshal, lightning, Jim Whipple, and his deputy, Whitey Lawson.
