What?! Hats and tassels Kellogg's corn pops. Cause here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill and his pal Jingle, which is me, Andy Devine. We got another root and tootin' Wild Bill Hickok adventure story for ya.

From that great new Seria with the sweetin' and already on it, Kellogg's corn pops! Brings you Wild Bill Hickok, transcribed from Hollywood, starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as his pal Jingle.

Of the long procession of pioneers who traversed our broad continent pushing the early frontiers ever westward, most were honest, law-abiding. But some were not. And the battle between the good and the bad was often violent.

Into this conflict, always on the side of law and order, rode the greatest fighter of them all. Scout, sharpshooter, United States Marshal, while Bill Hickok. Early one evening in the town of Silver City, two men sat together in the corner shadows of the cactus bed saloon, and they spoke quietly.

Don't mind my saying so, boss. You're looking mighty pleased with yourself. I shouldn't I be, Stacey. I'm going to be a rich man. I've got a perfect set up. It's perfect, all right. You grub-steak some prospectus. They sound like contract with you. When they strike at rich, you cut in for a third of their claim.

When one of the men I grubbed steak like careful Smith, for instance, hits a rich load, the next thing you know, he meets up with an accident and dies. And the whole line is yours after you've seen to it that he had that accident.

Shut up. Stacey, I don't ever want to hear you say I had anything to do with Smith's death. Sorry, boss. Anyway, that ain't why I asked you here to talk about it. It's about old Jim Harris. He's got me worried.

me worried. I got a feeling he thinks the cave in the trap smith wasn't what we say it was. You don't know nothing for sure does he? I don't know. He's done something I don't like. He's in for wild Bill Hickock. Hickock seems wild bills a friend of his or something. Are you sure he sent for him? I'm sure. Well I don't like that boss. I

don't like no U.S. Marshall round. Especially Hickock. Relax Stacy. Hickock doesn't know anything and Jim Harris isn't gonna tell him it isn't either. It's exactly what I call you here about. You would please me a good deal of old Jim Harris suddenly developed a case of Lockjaw.

Permanent Lockjaw. Oh boy, oh. Oh, why don't we bet down here, Bill. We've been going all day without a rest. Well, maybe we better. It's getting kind of dark anyway. Oh boy. Oh. Doggone, I was beginning to think we'd never stop.

It's just that I'm in such a hurry to get to Jim Harris. I didn't like the son of his letter at all. What's that? It's a Winchester. Come on. Up, boy. Up. Who is a man laying by those rocks?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So who is it, Bill? And you just bend down and see. It's Jim Harris, jingles. Bill. Bill, is that you? It's me, old timer. Thank heaven, you come, Bill. Thank heaven.

I'll take it easy, old timer. We'll get you to a dock. It's too late for that, son. That bullet had my name on it, all right. Oh, now don't talk that way, Mr. Harris. Well, ain't much time.

There's trouble, Bill. Trouble in Silver City. Careful, Smith. Wasn't an accidental. Jim. Jim. Well, he's dead, Bill. Murder, jingles. A killer was hiding behind those bowlers, waiting for Harris to step into that clearing. A bush whacker lower than a rattlesnake.

Come on, jingles. We'll tell the sheriff in Silver City. Then we're going hunting for a murder. I don't savvy. I don't savvy at one bit. Who'd want to kill old Jim Harris, Marshal? That's what we aim to find out, Sheriff.

But he was nothing but a poor harmless prospector. As far as I know, he couldn't have an enemy in the world. He knew too much, Sheriff. He knew that careful's death was no accident. Hold on.

Are you saying Smith's death was murder too? He sure as places is. You got some reentailed coyote running around loose and he struck twice already. Well, I can't agree with you, Marshall. Careful, Smith's death was an accident.

I investigated the thing myself. Mine came in. The walls of his mind just gave way, trapped him inside and he suffocated. Sure, if I just heard what happened to Jim Harris, came over as quick as I could to see if I could be of any help.

Well, I'm glad you did, Adam. As Cobb, this is Marshall Bill Hickock and his sidekick, Jingle's. Mr. Cobb's got a law off us up the street. No, D. Howdy. Certainly glad you're here, Marshall. We don't like no killers around these parts.

I don't like killers around any parts, Mr. Cobb. He sure don't. If more Mavericks would take that to heart, there'd be a lot less trouble for all concerned. Yeah, we don't usually have no trouble in Silver City.

The sheriff keeps things orderly. Do you have any idea, Mr. Cobb, who'd want to kill Jim Harris? No. Can't think of anyone. That's what I told him, Marshall, Adam. But he's got some notion. Wait a minute. Seems to me Jim Harris had a big argument with another prospector named Sauer, though, about something or other...

Don't, Bon, I remember that. The fur was really flying to look so as to. There's a lot of difference between an argument and a murder. And that's so. But this Sauer, though, fellas, a fiery ombre.

Well, Bill, I guess we ought to have a little talk for Sauer, though. Yeah. Look out! Somebody threw a knife at us, jingles. Sucking that post. There's a note attached to it. Yeah, just let me get a look at it.

What's it say, huh? Marshall Hickcock. If you know what's good for you, you'll turn Ron and ride right out of Silver City. Or you'll get the same treatment I give Jim Harris. Sign the Bushwack.

Ah, real two-gun excitement, eh, partners? Got old Panhandle Jim all keyed up. Yeah, see. Well, I guess two-gun Westerns sorta just fit in with a two-way serial. Did I say two-way cereal? Uh, sure did.

Kellogg's corn pops. Come on, the side'll up close here, and I'll tell you about them. You can eat Kellogg's corn pops two ways. One way is right out of the box like I'm eating them now.

Yes, sir, they're a real tasty snack with the sweetening already on them. Now the other way to eat corn pops is out of the bowl with milk. But remember what I said about the sweetening.

Don't go pouring a lot of sugar on them. They're already sweetened for you. Tasty, puffed up hearts of corn all ready to go. And your maw's gonna let you eat all the corn pops you want, cause they're good for you.

So if you aren't already settled back enjoying Kellogg's corn pops right now, you better hit the trail for the store tomorrow and get a load of them. You'll need plenty, cause the old family's gonna be getting into them and gobbling them all up.

Now listen to this little saying, kids love pops. Moms love pops, and pops love pops. Ha ha ha, he's steady. Well, right now, let's get back to Wild Bill Hickock. Aah! Wild Bill Hickock and his pal Jingle's are riding toward Kerkel Smith's mine in hopes of finding some evidence to prove Smith's killing wasn't an accident.

Dog gone at Billy, went all over town looking for that Sorrow fell and didn't find hide in their hair of him. Well, that ought to tell us something. Just watch, Jingle's. Well, it tells me that the man's hiding out, and you only hide out cause you're scared of something.

You know, I'm getting a theory about this whole thing. A left trail, Jingle's. Come on, boy. Uh, I said I got a theory about this whole thing. I heard you. Well, ain't you gonna ask me what it is?

Don't have to ask, Jingle's. Reckon you'll tell me anyway. Well, I ain't gonna tell you. I ain't gonna tell you that I got it figured that Sire don't kill Careful Smith over the mind claim and then kill Jim Harris too, cause Harris saw him do it.

Does that sound all right, Bill? I don't know how it sounds, Jingle. You weren't gonna tell me anything, remember? Huh? There's a mine. Whoa, boy. Whoa. Come on. What are we gonna do in Careful Smith's mind?

Look around. Let's go in. Well, just what do you think we're gonna find, dear Bill? I don't know. I just want to look the place over. Look at these braces, Jingle's. Jeez! Think of an elephant's plate.

Solid tooth. Yeah. This mine was built by a careful man, built to stand. Doesn't look to me like these braces. It's to give way of their own accord. No, sir, it sure is. Jingle! Don't know who's that.

It's me, Sarno. Where is he, Bill? I don't see him. There he is, Jingle, standing by the entrance to the mine. That's right, hiccup. I don't eat it up you go for leather. I got you covered.

I hear you and that fat friend of yours and me looking for me. That's right, Sorrow. I've got some questions to ask you. Well, I ain't ready to answer no questions. But I got a few things on my mind. I got you at gunpoint and you're going to hear me out.

Well, then don't go and stop pointing at me. You're just making me say it. Well, guess you have your mouth in listening. I know you think I killed Jim Harris and careful Smith. Well, I didn't. I admit I had argument with Harris.

with Harris what it's about ain't none of your business but I didn't kill him and another thing I didn't throw no knife in the sheriff's door with an old attack then who did so or do maybe I know and maybe a don't maybe you'll find out then again maybe you won't ever find out he's gone Bill just scooted away like a

scared little cotton tail come on let's get out of here oh what's that I'm a The mountain's coming down. It's going to block the engine. Let's get out of here! There, jingles. We'll never make it.

Oh! We're going inside, Stacey. He's going into the show. Get your hands off me. I said I ain't done nothing.

What's this all about, Kyle? We caught him right handed. That's what Stacey and me. We were riding up by Kerpelsmith's mine. We saw a sourdough here, starting to avalanche rocks. The trap marshal, hicock, and jingles inside.

What? I didn't know such things. Don't listen to him, Sheriff. Trying to lie his way out. Stacey and me saw him and we'll testify to it in court. caught. I didn't do nothing I tell you sheriff. Now you just simmer down a bit let me get at some facts. Sorrow you saying you weren't it careful Smith's mind. I was there all right.

He knew the Marshall and Jingle's was inside too. Of course I knew it is inside. I talked to him explain things. And he came out and set off the avalanche to trap the Marshall inside. He had a very good reason. He cock knew that Sorrow a dog killed Smith and Bushwack Jim Harris. I mean so. You thought I put him in the lockup sheriff and stop wasting time.

We gotta get some men out to that mine and see if we can dig out here, cocking this partner before it's too late. You're right, Adam. Come on, Sardo. I'm putting you in the Caliboos for safe keeping.

This for all. And we'll keep going, we'll get through. Some of the men are pretty tired, Sheriff. I know that, Cobb. We can't stop now. Men, we gotta keep on going. We can't give up hope now.

We're almost through. That's right, man. Keep working. We gotta save the marshal in this partner If we possibly can. Sure want to thank you, Cobb, for helping out with this. Take nothing of it, Charlie.

I'm glad to. Hey, Cox, an important man. He came to help us. He's on shame if he loses his life to cause of it. Yeah, sure would. Hey, Sheriff, we're through. We've got through to the line.

Come on, Adam. All right, you men. Widen the entrance, and let's get on inside. See you about here, Cotton Jingles. All right, here. Here. There, that's it. All right, you men, you wait outside here.

Come on, Cobb, let's go inside. Hey, Doc. Well, Bill, you all right? No answer, Sheriff. That's bad. Yeah, yeah, I was afraid of this. They suffocated all right, just like Carapol Smith. It must be around here someplace.

There's no place for him to go. The entrance will see the well, those rocks. Carapol, Sheriff. Sheriff. Clay, what are you doing here? I left you back at the jail at Guard Sardo. Well, that's what I come about, Sheriff.

Something's happened. What's happened? Well, I don't rightly know. But, what? Come on, man, speak up. Well, there was sourdough in the lock-up like you left him. And, well, I went out to get a drink of water.

Wanna come back, Will? Well, what, Tram? Well, when I come back, sourdough was gone. Gone, you sure, Tram? Sure, I'm sure, Mr. Cobb. Sourdough just disappeared. That's what he done. Where? That does, boy. Beat off.

What's going on, anyway? Hickop, jingle, sourdough, all of them vanishing into thin air. There's something downright weird about this whole thing. Well, I smell that bill. Just breathe in that lovely bacon fry. And at last my stomach's getting the kind of treatment it deserves.

Keep the fire low, Jengos. We don't want to be spotted just yet. Sure thing, Bill. Yeah, I sure want to thank you, Bill, for sneaking me out of the cowlaboo's like he done. I figured I was going to be there to come for me with a roof.

Well, Bill's real good at getting innocent folks out of jail and crooks in. He sure is. Here, now, have some more bacon, sardole. Thank you, Bill. Well, I'm mighty glad that someone thinks I'm innocent.

But don't go on. How did you two ever get out of that mind? I thought you was gone, I was for sure. So did we, Sardo. So we started to poke around and find something.

Yes, sir, another exit. A safety exit that careful Smith dug for himself so that if one inference caved in, he'd have another way out. You know, I sure am glad he was such a careful man.

Now, there's something I don't understand. How come careful Smith himself didn't use that other exit get out and instead of suffocating in that mind. Careful Smith couldn't use that other exit because he couldn't walk to it.

He was knocked out and he died before he came to. All right, George, that's it, all right. Don't go into some coyote, knock them out and then set off a caveman. It all looked like an accident when it was really wasn't it.

The same coyote killed Jim Harris because he knew too much. We got a pretty good idea who it was. Hey boy. We moving on so quick? Yeah, that's right. Stump out that fire. Sardo, we got you out of jail because we want your help.

Sure thing, Bill. I'm glad to do anything again. I got to clear myself with this thing once and for all. You got a plan? Yes. Come on. We're still hunting, jingles. And now's the time to bait that trap for a murder.

MUSIC If you could see me right now, you'd see a real happy wrangler. Just finished up a whole handful of corn pox. And lucky you did, because I want to tell you something. It's about these Kellogg's corn pox.

A wonderful eating cereal that's already sweetened for you. Now listen close here. Kellogg's corn pops are hearts of corn all puffed up big and crisp with plenty of tasty sweetening on them. Now you can eat them the way I am eating them now, right out of the box by the handful or in a bowl with milk.

But don't go putting any sugar on them. No sir, because like I just said they've already got the sweetening right on them. Every single corn pop. All you ranchers who are eating them right now, Take a look at the bag inside the box.

Well, it's pure aluminum. Keeps Kellogg's corn pops fresh up to 10 times longer. And your mom will want to hear this. That bag's wonderful for storing things in the refrigerator. And you just can't beat it for carrying sandwiches in and keeping them fresh as an evening breeze.

Now don't go fussing with one boxy corn pops. The way your family's going to go for them, you're liable to miss out on some. Get your mom to load up big. Then out of the box or out of the bull, You can have all the Kellogg's corn pops you want, and you'll want plenty.

You know who loves corn pops. Kids love pops. Moms love pops. And pops love pops. Let's hustle on back the show. And now let's get back to Silver City and find out about Wild Bill Hickock's daring plan to trap the murderers of Careful Smith and Jim Harris.

I don't get it, boss. How could sourdough disappear from a jail like that? I saw the sheriff block men. How could hiccup and jingles disappear from inside that mine? It ain't possible. I'll say it ain't possible.

We set that rock avalanche off ourselves. We know they were sealed up inside, but all rights they should have suffocated. They should have, but if they did, why didn't we find them? Don't ask me.

All I know is that they're dead, and dead men don't just disappear. It's plenty dark in here, boss. Huh? Oh yeah, better light the lamp. Sure thing. I don't get a match to the wick here.

Somebody shut the lamp out of my hand. Hey, let's get out of here. Don't move for that door either of you. That's Hickok's voice. Why is he? I don't know. I can't see nothing. It's pitch black in here.

You don't have to see me. Now, just settle down, you two. We're going to have a little talk. In the dark? Your eyes will get accustomed to the darkness soon. Well, I for one ain't talking to no dead man.

Oh, don't shoot again, Hickok. That wasn't Bill. That was me, Jingle's. And don't break for that door again. Now we're gonna have that talk, all of us. Hey, Kirk, I'm gonna demand an explanation of this.

What's the meaning of breaking into a peaceful man's office and shooting the place up? Oh, well, don't it, Bill? Go, Cobb's getting brave again. Cobb, there's nothing peaceful or law-abiding about you at all. You and Spacy are killers.

You're gonna let him stand there saying that, boss? Now, stop, human Stacy. There ain't nothing you can do about keeping Bill from saying anything he wants, especially since it's a truth. There ain't no word of truth in what he says.

Well, my goodness, the man is getting awful brave, calling wild Bill Hickok, a riot, my goodness. Cobb, you and Stacy kill Careful Smith to get his mind. Then you two kill Jim Harris to keep him from telling what he knew.

Boss, maybe he... Shut up, Stacy. Hickok, you're just talking. You got no proof. Got the best proof in the world, Cobb, and eyewitness. And eyewitness? Boss... Shut up, I said. That's what love, Hickok. Who's your eyewitness?

Sowardoo. Sowardoo? That's right. He's at the sheriff's office right now, telling the sheriff what he knows, and it'll be enough to send you two to justice. And justice to me sounds like hanging maybe. You ain't scaring us.

Oh, of course not, but you're sweating a little. Boss, I don't like this. I don't like these two hombres disappearing like they didn't and showing up again. It ain't natural. Just relax, Stacy. Don't you see what this is? Hickock's bluffing. Trying to get one of us to crack.

Think anything you like, God. But in a few minutes, sourdough and the sheriff are going to be coming this way. Ronin, they're gonna be coming for the two of you. Now I know you're bluffin'.

Sowadow, Vamosjail. He wouldn't be seen near the sheriff, because the sheriff had tossed him right back into the lockup. All right, Cobb, if you feel so safe, we'll just sit back and wait. Stacey and I can wait as long as you can.

Can't we, Stacey? Uh, sure we can. I got your harmonica, Jingle. Might as well have a little music while we're waiting. harmonica? Oh, sure thing, Bill. Something happy? It's my champ, hurry. What's that sourdough?

And the sheriff's right behind him running this way. Yeah. Guess you can start on the harmonica now, Jingle. I don't know about you, boss, but I got a horse around back and I'm clearing out.

Stacy's going out to win the bill. Let him go, Jingle. Hey, don't stay, she's half. He's making a run for it. Stacy, wait a minute. Oh, hi. So we kill Smith and Harris, but you think I'm fooling up the way to run for a hand?

Come down on that horse. Jumping. Catfish, Bill, the sheriff takes Stacy right off his horse. And he won't fish her lucky with me. There goes Cobb. I'll take him jingles. No, you don't. Let me go, Hickok.

There's probably one. I didn't want him right on his good old snooze. Like this jingles. Yeah, Bill, just like that. And did I do all right, Marshall? You did fine sourdough and thanks. Hickok, jingles, what is this?

All right, Cobb, on your feet. Here's the other one, Sheriff. Cobb and Stacy committed both murders. Hey, Garin, that don't make you so smart, Hickok. You'd have got me if you hadn't had an eye with this.

I witnessed who was the eyewitness out of course that what he told you that why you come running so fast that way why I come running here come I come running this way because sourdough was running this way I was chasing him I was gonna put him back into lockup because I thought he committed the murder you down
