Why? I, ya folks! Hold on to your hats and pass those Kellogg's corn pops. Cause here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill in his pal Jingle's which is me, Andy Devine. We got another rootin' tootin' Wild Bill Hick ock adventure story for ya.

From that great news cereal with the sweetin' and all-ready on it, Kellogg's Corn Pop! Kellogg's Corn Pops brings you Wild Bill Hick ock starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as his pal Jingle.
