The Trail of Death

Why, hiccup! Hey, folks! Pull down to your hats and pass those Kellogg's corn pops. Cause here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill and his pal Jingle's, which is me, Andy Devine. We got another rootin' tootin' Wild Bill Hickok adventure story for ya.

From that great new cereal with the sweetin' and all-ready on it, Kellogg's Corn Pops! Kellogg's Corn Pops brings you Wild Bill Hickok, transcribed in Hollywood and starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill Will and Andy Divine as his pal Jingle's.

All the dangers faced by the early settlers of the West came from outlaws. There was the bitter cold of winter, the drough of summer, and the terror of every sort of wild animal from buffaloes to bobcats.

Late one autumn, two lone prospectors followed a narrow trail high on the Rockies. A fresh snow was beginning to fall. It was bitter cold, and one of them wanted to turn back. I don't like it, Jim. I don't like it at all.

Let's get out of these mountains where we can. We can't turn back now, Shorty. Just more about to find that gold, my hands is about through the stiff. I'm gonna be funny feeling about this trip headed ever since we started.

Hey, here's a turn off, just like Matt says. Come on, Shorty. Gold mine ain't over 100 yards ahead. Don't care for the lead trail. Turn the narrow along the lead. Nothing's stopping me now. I can do that, too, because I'm straight up, where it's right about to jump.

Get my hands are so stiff I can't draw. Too late, look at that, it's jumping, Pete! We're mighty grateful that you could come to Canyon Crest and help us, Mr. Hiccup. Please sit down, both of you.
