Play For Keeps

The Dennis Day Show returns to the air at this hour the first week in October. Remember the Dennis Day Show beginning here October 7th. Presenting Joel McCray in Tales of the Texas Rangers. On stage tonight transcribed from Hollywood, another in NBC's parade of exciting half hour presentation.

Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCray as Ranger Pearson. Texas, more than 260,000 square miles, and 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement body in North America. Now, from the files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact.

Only names, dates and places are fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record. Tonight's case, play for Keats. At five minutes past midnight on December 12th, several years ago, Sheriff Bob Smith is a Bradshaw County, Texas, staged a raid on a gambling establishment located on the country road.

But there were no patrons in the house, and the sheriff's face grew dark red as he and the local constable failed to find any evidence. There's nothing in upstairs room either, Sheriff. You're sure of that, Hundram?

Not even a deck of cards. See, Sheriff, like I told you, I quit the racking. Yet this is the fourth time this year you roused me out of bed. I know you're operating, Walton. And I'm gonna get you for it.

You're not gonna milk the citizens of this county, not while I'm Sheriff. Look, Sheriff. This happens to be my house. Why, do you know why, do you finish your business here? How about getting out?

I guess we might as well go, Sheriff. No, Jim. We're gonna stay a minute. I wanna talk to Walton. And you? That what? I was sure of this raid tonight, Jim. Did sure just like I've been sure the last three times because only you and me ever knew about him. I Didn't tell nobody, but you Jim you the constable
