Transcript

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Boys and girls, have you ever been in a submarine? Or have you ever gotten inside a diver suit and gone down into the depths of the sea?

I suppose not. After all, most of us are land lovers, lake sailors at the best. But what would you do if you knew that a submarine was stuck at the bottom of the ocean? And meanwhile, the crew was suffocating.

Why, you'd try to get them out, of course. But the big question would be how to do it. Well, let's find out what Bill and the Rangers did in such a situation as that. Keep your ears glued to the radio for the story of 20 pathoms under the sea.

Man, this blue oil really burns up the rails. You're wondering how fast we're going, Bill? I don't know, Henry. There's a stretch of tracking head where the engineer pushes her up to 93. Wow! 93 miles an hour!

Oh, that's funny fast in any man's book. Yep. Hehehehe. Just a little faster than I can run in high speed. Oh, yeah. He say, Bill, do we have to eat the fish we catch on this trip?

Let all the films and what kind of fish we catch, pal. Some ocean fish aren't edible, of course. Probably some of them. Oh, I don't like fish that much. Not ocean fish anyhow. The brook trout, yeah.
