Wild Bill Hickok: The Red Wagon Jinx

Why? Hats and pastels Kellogg's corn pops. Cause here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill in his pal Jingle's, which is me Andy Divine. We got another rootin' tootin' Wild Bill Hickok adventure story for ya.

From that great news to you with the sweetin' and already on it, Kellogg's corn pops brings you Wild Bill Hickok starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Divine as his pal Jingle. Courage, strength and luck.

luck. That's what it took to drive the heavy freight wagons of the old west over treacherous mountain trails and the men who did were tough as rawhide but they couldn't fight a mysterious jinx that brought death to every twist of the trail.

And so it was that United States Marshal Wile Bill Hickock and his deputy jingles came to sting Canyon to investigate the red wagon jinx. Dog gone, it Bill. Don't it seem like trouble enough comes along without us riding all over creation chasing after it.

This is one time I wish we'd been there before the trouble started. Yeah, I reckon if we had Jeff Skinner to be alive to meet us when we get to Spring Canyon. Jeff was a great old man.

And tough. Why, Jeff could drive a wagon team over these mountain trails where no self-respecting Billy-goated gold. That's why I don't think his death was any accident. It seems like Jeff's freight line was having more than a chair accident.

Like there was a jinx or something. A jinx? I wonder. But you figure it weren't just lock-up, Bill? I mean to find out if these accidents were planned. And if you do, Bill, I reckon the ones that get the plan and will need more than lock, huh?

Oh boy, whoa, whoa, whoa. Jingles, look below there. It's coming around the rim of that canyon. It's a runaway wagon and it's on fire! Come on! We'll get to the pass and head it off.

Hey, if they get that fire without going over the side... Oh boy. Let's go! Down this way. I want the appeal! Shumps a wagon burning like blazes. Get set. I'll make a gap for the holler, Bill.

Right. I'll try to jump before I can help with the rain. Here goes. I got a hold, Bill. Hang on, jingles. Come on, brother, driver. I'm jumping on. I can't. Whoa. Oh, that does it, Bill.

And now the second too soon. Then we just missed that pangin' by our eyebrows. Good as a mile. Cut the traces and I'll lead the horses away from the wagon. Right, jingles. Ah, mister. Let's try and save your wagon.

Hey, hey mister. What's wrong Bill? What's like the driver passed out? He has. Oh, I'll get him done off of there. Now, well I'll be. What is it Bill? The driver. He's a woman. Is she coming out of her jingles?

Oh sure, she's alright. There, there now man. Just take it easy. Poor little critter. Hey, real pretty too. Even in the men's clothes she's wearing. Well, who are you? Huh? Who? Who? Me? Well, I...

Hello, Miss. Feeling better? Oh, I remember. I remember you now. You saved my life. Who are you anyway? My name is Hickcock, Miss. Hickcock? Are you the one they call Wild Bill? Some folks do, Miss. This is my deputy jingles.

Happy, ma'am. Oh, I'm glad you're here. We need some men in String Canyon. You mean there ain't no man in town? They're all afraid. Afraid to drive my father's wagons. Afraid of the jinx. You must be Jeff Skinner's daughter.

I am. We knew your dad, Miss Skinner. I know. He talked of you often. Dog gone. You know, I should have known you was Jeff Skinner's kid driving a wagon like that. Well, now I'm dead, Mr. Hickock.

You know why I had to keep the freight rolling through these mountains. Yeah, I reckon Jeff would want it that way. Yes, and how he tried to keep it that way. A one by one he lost his wagons and accidents.

His driver's quit to go to work for Sanchez. Sanchez? He runs the other freight line? Yes. But Dad wouldn't sell out, and neither will I. After he was killed, that left only me and Swede the blacksmith.

Swede's got a bad arm, so I drove. Well, sorry we couldn't save the rig, man. Horses are all right, though. On the ledge around the bench. Get on, Miss! It's them! Now come back to finish the job.

I see him. Bill up there on top of that bear. It's been on this ledge. Can't get a shot at that. Bill, they're shoving that big boulder off the cliff. That thing will start an avalanche.

It's moving. Come on, man. We've got to make a round for it. Here it comes. Consarn it. You know your old pal Panhandle Gym gets your dog on worked up wondering how these stories are going to come out.

I could buy the horseshoe nail in two. But since those Westin' horseshoe nails aren't very crispier crunchy, I do it the easy way. I sit here in the edge of my chair and chomp up big crunchy handfuls of Kellogg's corn pops.

Yeah, right out of the box is the way I eat my corn pops, because the sweetin' is already on them. Come sun up though, I go for corn pops at breakfast in a bowl with milk.

But all there, all the sugar partner, the sweetin' is already on corn pops. Kellogg's corn pops delicious as they are contain lots of things you need. Be vitamins, vitamin D with important minerals and food energy too.

That means you can eat all you want of those golden hearts at corn puffed up big and crisp. Say in that silver-like bag inside the corn pops box is pure aluminum. Keeps Kellogg's corn pops fresh up to ten times longer.

And your maw can use it to store things in the refrigerator or for wrapping sandwiches. But best of all, and already sweeten for you are Kellogg's corn pops. You know who loves pops. Kids love pops, moms love pops, and pops love pops.

Ha ha, right. Now, let's get back to Wild Bill and Jingle. After Wild Bill and Jingle's rescued Jeff Skinner's daughter in the narrow mountain pass, the band of masked men who had stampeded her wagon returned to finish the job.

by loosening a huge boulder and avalanche and hashing down on the tree who are trapped on the ledge below. There. We're still it's over now. Those big rocks saved our lives. You know one of them rocks put a brand new part in my hair.

Well, Jingle's, what do you think about those accidents now? I don't think I like them. What do you think, Mr. Hickok? I think you've got yourself a new driver, Miss. Uh, Bill, you ain't fixing to start driving these mountain trails.

No, Jingle's, but I think you are. Oh, well, then that's all right. Huh? Who mean? Oh, no, Bill. My attention plays. Here, here, it's Big Pete Sanchez. Thank you, folks. Thank you. Well, I ain't no speech-making man, but this here blowouts kind of a celebration, you know.

You said it, Big Pete. Yes, sir. Because today marks the first anniversary of the Sanchez Freight line. Now, I ain't fixing to brag. But you know, in one year, Sanchez Freight has come to be the top line in these here parts.

And that's how come this party. Ah! Yeah, yeah, we've been lucky. Well, some others ain't been so lucky. But out west here, it's the best man win. That's right, Mr. S. So now, let's put the feedback on folks.

All these fancy eats were hauled across these mountains by Sanchez Freight. So, soups on folks, come and get it. What's the matter, sweet? Lost your appetite? I'm not hungry, Mr. Sanchez. I'm just worried, sake of a poor Miss Skinner.

Drive in the rim, rode all by herself. Maybe you figure the jinx has got her, as we? I tell you, Mr. Sanchez. Any harm come to her, you have me to answer to. And I just don't mean maybe.

You're loco. Who do you think you're talking to? Right, one shot. All right, sweet. I'm surprised at you. You're not going to be a fool. Oh, sweet, I'm surprised at you. You know I offered to buy her no good red wagon line and take it off her hand.

Why sure, sweet. Big Pete can't help it if she's stubborn. She wants to go on losing her jink wagons in accidents. Yo, I think you are, Yanks Mr. Sanchez. I think you know of an accident's come.

You shut your trap, sweet, or I swear. Hold on one shot. Now you're a mighty good blacksmith, sweet, and I got a job waiting for you. time you give up your crazy notions but be careful here you go around accusing savvy you got no witnesses don't be too sure that's who's that? the cocks are named you as marshal

do it you mean my old bill and this law i'll tell you about it can't be why i saw you today was no accident mr. Sanchez masked men met the wagon and set it on fire if it hadn't been for marshal hiccup well now don't that go to show i'm right ma'am you can't run that line it's too plumb risky

I'll take the rest from here on in Sanchez. And the red wagon line is still in business. Hey! Thank you, friends. I know a lot of you have been afraid to ship by red wagon.

Afraid of what would happen to your loads. And I'll blame you. But it takes more than a jinx to stop the line that Jeff Skinner started here years ago. Hey! And we have the law in String Canyon now.

Wild Bill Hickock is here. Hey! Yes, sir. Ha, you asked me. There ain't no jinx on the red wagon line. Just some bad management. Well, sure. Accidents don't happen when you know how to avoid them.

I thought you folks wanted a reliable freight line. We'll let the folks decide what they want, Sanchez. Here's no affair yours, Hickok. How come you're poking your nose in anyway? I'd poke it in wherever I please, friend. It's my nose.

Oh, yeah? Well, I don't like it, Chevy. No? Maybe you'd like to change it, mister. Sure, it's trouble you want, huh? Well, you're a big man, Hickok. But I think I can cut you down to size.

Next time you pull a gun on me one shot pull faster Cause next time I won't aim at the gun You'll buy a yingo, you ain't just fighting women And broken down men like me no more Alright, Hickok, this is my last offer A little lady sells out now Or if it's war you want, then it's war you'll get

That's the way it has to be Sanchez Then it's war Whoa! Give it again! No, I'm your thumb time too That makes three round trips this week, sweet Sure, and no sign of that old yinx Hello, England! Howdy, sweet! Howdy, Miss Laura!

Good work, Jingle! Where's Bill? Oh, he's coming, ma'am. Well, here we are again. Three in a row, all safe and sound, and none the worse away. Oh, I beg to call you out of sight for sore eyes, England.

Well, we best get this team into the barn, sweet. Them horses are plum-tuckered. I'll fix them, you and get you back to them. I will do a good job, too. Yeah, and I'm going to straddle out my weary bones somewhere And just take root, sweetie.

How many trips we gonna let go through, Sanchez, before we stop him? You ain't never been much of a hand at Boker one shot. You know, you gotta let the other fellow win a few hands, so he begins to feel easy.

And that's when you crack down on him. Nice, Abby. But we don't stand a chance of pulling those stunts, like when I drove old man Skinner's team off the trail, not with Hickok scouting every into the road when the Red Wagons roll.

Don't get excited once, shut. We'll fix their little red wagon. And Hancock, too. There's lots of ways to skin a cat. You're a great one for sayin's big beach, but I'm it's infraction. Well, look, here comes Hancock now right in the town.

Whoa, whoa, boy. Whoa. He sure keeps his eye on them freight runs. Yeah. And Laura, she sure keeps her eye on him. Can I take your horse or something? Well, hello, Miss Laura. Well, no ma'am, I guess I'll manage all right.

You always do. Well, everything went well again, huh? Couldn't be better. Bill, next trip, I want to go along. My sure, Miss Laura, but why? Well, I want to do a little shopping for a real pretty dress.

Well, all right, but I think that dress is pretty enough. Do you, Bill? Do you really? Audi, Marshall. Audi, ma'am. Well, looks like Falls well, it ends well, huh? I reckon you can't beat the proverb, can you?

No, Mr. Sanchez, you can't. And I have another one for you. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Well, that's true enough. And I'm a plumb sorry I got so on read the other day.

Little, the competition's good for business. Well, I sure. All it took was a strong mane's heen to pull the red wagon line back in shape. Maybe so, but talking of proverbs, I don't cut my chickens until they're hats.

Come on, Bill. Let's go. Hey, the great TikTok. What a pretty target. Turns his back on me just as big as you please. Don't let it tempt you one shot. Well, I heard it while Bill's got eyes in the back of his head.

No, I got a better way. Well, let's hear it. I'll get even with him for shooting that gun out of my hand if it's the last thing I do. And listening, you won't get hurt.

You heard what she said just now? She's going along tomorrow. Well, tonight, you and the boys are heading out the long bridge. You're gonna work on them timbers till they're ready to go out. I gotcha.

The bridge goes out when the wagon hits it. And if the fall doesn't finish him, the rapids will. Yeah. And when Hickok rides down to help him, there'll be a nice little ambush waiting for him.

He'll have his hands full. Yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. He'll never know what hit him. It ain't rain all day, red but dry. The sun so hot I close to dances, and I don't you try.

Oh, Tuesday now. Now you won't ever tell you you have a lovely voice, Jim. Well, I come to think of it. I don't recall anyone ever saying just that. Thank you, man. Thank you. You know, horses seem to like it.

Those seem to make them want to run. Why does it just like people? Oh, sure. Oh, now, Miss Laura. Now, take Nelly there. Now, she's a meat starter. Some folks I know. Nelly seems to be afraid of something.

Yeah, come on now, Nelly. Dog gone. Just when I start bragging, she starts barking. Now, ain't that just like a woman? She's frightened, Jingle. She's wearing out. Oh, now the easy girl. That's Long Bridge, just ahead.

Yeah, maybe them rapids have got old Nelly kind of skinny. Funny, never acted that way before. Jingle, now I'm scared. Quiz Bill. Oh, now he's up in them mountains, man. Keep an eye on it now. Don't worry now.

Here we go over the bridge. My in-of-fix. Well, the show's not even coast over, and I'm all out of corn pops.

Here I've been telling you right along to load up on plenty of Kellogg's corn pops. Then your old pal Panhandle Jim runs clean out of corn pops himself. That'll be a lesson to me. And you too.

Remember to get plenty of Kellogg's corn pops to Mars, sure. The new two-way cereal that's already sweetened for you. I said two-way cereal because that's the way you eat pops. Out of the box or out of the bowl.

Dig in for a fistful any time of the day, but come breakfast. Pour on a little milk, and you're all set. And before you start for the sugar bowl, take a taste. You don't need sugar, because corn pops are already sweetened for you.

Say in your mall, let's eat all the corn pops you'll want to, because they contain B vitamins, vitamin D, with important minerals and food energy. Say, and take a look at that silvery bag that holds the corn pops in the box.

That bag keeps Kellogg's corn pops fresh up to ten times longer. It's great for packing sandwiches in after all the corn pops are gone. And you're more like it to store things in the refrigerator.

Now let's get together here and tell the folks who loves pops. Kids love pops, moms love pops, and pops love pops. Alright. Now let's get Root and Tooten back to the show. When the heavy freight wagon driven by jingles with Laura as passenger crossed long bridge, the timbers cut by one shot gave out, plunging horses, wagon and riders into the rapid spill.

We got you. Keep jacking your legs. We're still being swept down to the falls.

Yeah, I got you. I got you. I got you. But I just remembered. Why? I can't swim very good. Slanches we sure got hiccup now. Just one shot, that's all I need.

Just one shot. Wrecking you can't miss from here one shot? Nah. Hey, what you suppose he's trying to do out there? No, jumping down off his horse. Rolling out on that dead tree limb over hanging the river.

Yeah, building a loop with his rope. Oh, I got it. He figures he'll drop the loop right over their heads when the current brings him down. Ha ha ha ha. That varmant never gives up.

Well, one shot, you got yourself a target. Yes, this is one time we can really say we got Wild Bill Hickock out on our limb. Well, go on, plug him. Yeah. Got him in my sight.

Good center. Wait, wait. Here comes the deputy in the gal like a couple of drowned rats, current's dragging him to the falls pass. What do you mean, wait, what for? Yes, curious. Let's see if he really can drop that loop before you plug him.

Oh, yeah, I got you. Hey, look. There they go. He's lying, flapping a tree limb. Got the rope swinging under him. He's dropping it. He's gonna miss. He got him. Yeah. Roped him. Right in the edge of the falls.

Oh, there he is. Just a few minutes more now. Time you up. All right, one shot now. Now while he's wrapping that rope around the limb, kill him. Yeah. All right, he got...good job, but not good enough.

One shot. You're a hatch. Oh, you fool. Once you yell out, you tip them off. Yeah, I...I'm done for it. I didn't figure he could do it. From out on a limb. I'm getting out of here.

Come on, horse. Come on, I see you, Sanchez. Come back here. Come and get it, Hickok. I saved it for you. Hey, Bill, take your split at that trail down there. Yes, Sir Jingle, that's one of Skinner's red wagons, making another safe trip.

You know, since you got rid of Sanchez and his gang, they're all safe trips. Well, you know, Jeff could see the way his wagons are rolling now. Ah, so do I. Well, I reckon Miss Laurel missed you, though.

I think we'll ever go back to String Canyon. If there's trouble there, we'll go back. But there's a heap more in trouble where we're going. Yeah, that's what they tell me. So let's make tracks.

Up boy. Up, up, up, up. Whoa! Well, I ain't worried, partner, but I notice there's one kind of trouble where Plam scared of. What's that, jingle? You know what I mean, Bill Hickock. A woman with a merry-im-looking her eye.
