Half-pint Outlaw

Why, folks, hold on to your hats, because here comes another Rooten-Tooten Wild Bill Hickok adventure, starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill, and Andy Devine as his pal Jingle. We'll hear the exciting story, Half-Pint Outlaw, right after this message.

Most of the lawbreakers trailed by United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his big deputy jingles were of the same kind, mean tough killers. But once in a while, they found themselves after someone as different as the half-paint outlaw.

Looks like you did it, Jingle. Yeah! How about that? Every shot in the bullseye. Bill, that's about the best I ever done. Just keep practicing, pardon? You're doing real fine. Yeah, and you keep showing me those tricks you use, too.

Alright. Hey. Looks like we got company coming, Jingle. Where? Oh, yeah. Wonder who that is. Looks to me like it might be Judge Graham. I guess you're right. Nobody else but that old funny duddy would wear a frock coat and a beaver hat on a hunt day like this.

Oh, look at that. Howdy, judge. Afternoon, Marshall. Gingles. Howdy, Judge Graham. Well, what bring you out here? Business, Gingles. I don't see why a busy judge has to go hunting for a U.S. Marshal when he wants one.

But that's where it is. Gingles and I have been pretty busy ourselves lately. Yeah. Looks like it. Target practice. Target practice is part of our job. That's how we stay alive to go on catching our hoots for you to try in your court, Judge.

Maybe. Seems like a waste of time, though. Well, here's the warrant, Bill. Young outlaw by the name of Frank Jensen. And I warn him in court by tomorrow morning. What's he done, Judge? Plenty. Defied to court order, resisted arrest, was hoped with a deadly weapon.
