Bad Blood

The National Broadcasting Company presents Joe McCray in Tales of the Texas Rangers. Tonight transcribed from Hollywood, another authentic reenactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers. Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joe McCray as Ranger Jason Pearson.

Texas more than 260,000 square miles. And 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement party in North America. Now, from the files of the Texas Rangers, come these stories based on fact.

Only name, states, and places are fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record. Case for tonight? Bad blood. It is 7 p.m. September 14, 1950. In an isolated house trailer in the fields on the outskirts of Cheney, Texas, Joel Prager and aircraft workers packing a suitcase.

There is a knock on the trailer door. Just second! Howdy Joe. Oh, howdy Russ. You ain't you gonna ask me in? Yeah sure, come on in. See you packing already. That's right. What's on your mind Russ?

Well Joe, I figured two weeks is long enough for old friends to be mad at each other. I've come to ask you to shake hands. You know now that you hear I can't figure just what we've been mad about.

Ain't anybody I'd rather shake hands with than you Russ? You're my boy. But we ain't never gonna talk politics again. Oh, that's a deal. I didn't want you to leave feeling sore at me. Why are you going anyhow?

Why are you pulling out your job, solids? You needed here. Well, I didn't want anybody to know about it yet, but it looks like I needed someplace else, too. Huh? Here, read this. Well, going back in the army, huh?
