Wild Bill Hickok: Outlaw's Bargain

Well, here's Guy, you folks! Hold on to your hats and pass those Kellogg's corn poppes. Cause here comes Guy Madison as Wild Bill and his pal Jingle, which is me and he divine. We got another rootin' Tooten Wild Bill Hickok adventure story for ya.

From that great new cereal with the sweetin' and all ready on it, Kellogg's corn poppes! Kellogg's corn poppes brings you Wild Bill Hickok starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy divine as his pal Jingle.

as his pal Jingle's. The legends of the Old West are full of names of outlaws whose six guns blasted defiance and death to law and order. But there was none more deadly or more feared than the ruthless gunfighter Pharaoh Stroud.

When Pharaoh was trapped and taken alive by a sheriff's posse, the call went out to United States Marshal Wile Bill Hickock and his deputy jingles to escort the killer back to Abilene for trial, bringing them face to face with mob violence and a strange outlaws bargain.

That must be the jailhouse up ahead, jingles. Yeah, and take a squint at that mall about in front. Looks like trouble. Now, wouldn't you know it? Yeah, they should have got blood in their eyes, all right.

I reckon they got a right to feel that way. We can't help how they feel, jingles. Brown never gave anyone an even break, but no one has a right to take law into his own hands.

Look, they got a rope, Bill. They're going to rush the jailhouse. We're gonna rush the jail house. Come on, Jingle. We're riding through. Oh, ho, ho! I'm gonna take him away from it. We're taking him back to justice, mister.

Those are my orders. Well, we're giving you new orders. You turn him over to us. We'll give him justice in the end of a road. Ah! If you do, it'll be over my dead body.

Now, Bill, don't talk like that. Maybe that can be arranged, Ticac. We got a hundred guns out here that say we're taking it. And I've got two guns here that say you're not. What? There's so many of us that you stop with those, you cack.

I don't know. Who'd like to be the first to find out? Look out! All right, all right. He's not hurt. Only grazed him. Now, pick him up and go on home. All of you. Come on, Bill.

Let's get inside. Lead through here, cack. We'll get Pharaoh yet. Now, remember your face, mister. The next time you try it. Great jumping you horseman. I'm glad you got here when you did, gents. I couldn't have held off that peckewels for long.

Hey, do you see the way Bill scared them off, Sheriff? I sure did. I've been sitting mighty uneasy with that concerned murder caged up in this cracker barrel jail. Well, we're here to take them off your hands, Sheriff.

You know, even without that mob, you're gonna have your hands full, believe me. That pharaoh is full of more tricks in a corkscrew's hicorn than just about his trucker too. Well, I reckon if anyone can take the kinks out of him, Sheriff, it's Wild Bill Hickoff.

Well, that's what a finger, son. Why, Sheriff, my partner, eats bigger men than him, and spits out barments like Pharaoh, as if there was peace stories. All right, Jingle, it was never mine. Well, dog on it, Bill, you know it's true.

Then what about the time you grabbed the tail of a pole cat, lassoed him with it, and then... Jingle's... Oh, all right, Bill, all right. All right, I... Well, that must have been quite a tail, you know, really.

It was. A tall one. Oh. Where's Pharaoh now, Sheriff? Well, I got him locked up back here. But I'm telling you, it's like courting a load of dynamite with a fuse burning short. Well, let's have a look at him.

Yeah, the worst part of it is he ain't worried. Just sit there smiling like he's got the black ace up his sleeve. He don't seem natural for a man with practically a rope around his neck.

What I'm telling you, he ain't human. Yeah. After you, gents. Yeah. There goes the darn hanging out. When he ain't laughing, he's singing. Hey pal! You good company! Ahh! Well, uh... She'll been looking forward to this.

Hello, Belle. Beryl? Well, you're Bob Stradd, aren't you? Now, don't tell me you know this, Sidewinder Marshall. Know me. Well, we were kids together. Ain't that right, Belle? Ha, I'm sorry. Just can't get used to calling you Marshall.

Yeah, that's right. Bob Stradd. I can't believe it. Well, I'll be drinking you. Well, I reckon you never thought you'd be looking at him through iron bars, am I sure? You should have known I come to no good end, Bill.

Got off to a bad start. Yeah, because of your dad. Sure. You were the only one who stuck up for me, remember? When the kids used to say my old man was a jail bird?

It wasn't your fault that your dad was hanging feral, but that's no excuse for what you've done. Well, I reckon I'd drifted the way the wind blew. Well, I'm sorry, Farrow. Sorry. I figured you'll mean more than a sorry, Bill.

I haven't forgotten you saved my life. Well, you mean this marriage saved your life, Bill? Sure. Time Bill was in Swimming. Stuck his head up, nearly got it knocked off by a floating log. Yeah, I pull him out.

More dead than alive. You remember our bargain, Bill. I'll keep my part of the bargain, Furl. I'll keep you alive as long as I can. Talk about a fair trial in Aveline. That ain't exactly what I had in mind.

Burn nation, listener of that. They're marnary owls, hoots is back again. Yeah, but I can see them out this window, Bill. They got burning torches with them now. Ah, the local Sidewiners here figuring to set this jailhouse on fire.

Well, it looks like this is a showdown, Pharaoh. Just like old times, Bill. You pull me out of scrapes, taking up for me, against all the rest. Don't crowd your luck, Pharaoh. This is my job. That's all.

Here they come, Bill. Give your guns in there, come on out! That's him Sam saw a good old chicken-hearted Sam. He really scared. He's scared. What do you mean, Pharaoh? I swore if I ever broke out of this fleet trap, I'd hunt Sam out and gun him down.

Old Sam's taking no chance. You got about as much chance of getting out of here as you have. Huh? Oh, I see what you mean. Alright, Sawyer, this is your last warning. Call off your dogs before it's too late.

And this is our last warning, Hickack. A dying man with him here. Let me poke my snooze up in that there window. I'll talk some sense into the marments. Careful, Sheriff. You can't reason with them, Bob.

Now listen here to me, you fools. You all know me. You're gone with that raised, half of you. And no, you've got better sense. Now, what in blazes has come over you? Well, you're heading, Sheriff, if you don't want to clone off.

Sorry, you're yawning, Ray Horn toad. You're bad as a fool, you're trying to lynch. He was his best friend. He's holding him out. Folks, don't let that snake make you fight his bad old friend.

He's okay. Hey, he got me. Hey, we're only trying to help him. Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's get Pharaoh. He's done for a bill. All right, they asked for it. Bill, let me out of here.

Let me do something. Haven't you done enough already? No, another good man is dead on account of you. Bill, I'll give you my word. I won't try to escape, not from you. You know I can't trust you, Pharaoh.

But you got to trust me. Looks like you were right, Pharaoh. Can't scare them out without hurting someone. They sent the torch for the jail. The Frilax stem made it here. Jingle! Get the keys off the sheriff. Let's go out.

Off they go! Well, that'll fine pan into the fire. Bell the walls are going! The roof will come down next! They gotta make a break. They'll pick us out like sitting next when we head out that door!

It's our only chance. Pharaoh, glad the sheriff's gone. Hurry, Bell the roof is going! Wild Bill and Jingle's are putting on a real chauffeur, aren't they, partners? Heh, I'm putting on a pretty good show myself.

Digging into this here box of corn pops. Now I want to have a little chat with you youngins who haven't tasted Kellogg's corn pops yet. Take it from old Panhandle Jim, you're missing some real Eden.

Kellogg's corn pops are golden hearts of corn all popped up big and sassy. They're crisp and crunchy. And listen to this, they're already sweetened for you. Eat them right out of the box, or for some real chow and breakfast, in a bowl with milk.

No sugar needed, mind you. The sweeten is already there. Ah, how does that sound for a treat? You've never tasted as cereal as downright good as Kellogg's Corn Pops. Oh, steak my favorite saddle, do you never enjoy it better eating?

Now, tomorrow, sure, you'll want to saddle up and ride for the store. Load up on Kellogg's corn pops so you'll have plenty around for breakfast and snacks. Now, here's that famous saying that's on every box of Kellogg's corn pops.

I'm going to ask you to say it with me a little while. Kids love pops. Moms love pops and pops love pops. Now you're talking. Well, let's get back and see what's happened to Wild Bill and Jingle's.

What an angry lynch mob, led by Sam Sawyer, stormed the jailhouse and set it to fire, while Bill, with jingles and their prisoner Pharaoh Stroud, had to make a run for it. Just as the fire brought the flimsy jailhouse wall, crashing down around them.

Here they come, running at the jailhouse door! Don't see burners, if everyone's running too. Here they go now. Looks like he overplayed your hand, Sawyer. You didn't think this mob was going to set you for a pair of gun slingers, like Bill Hickock and fellow Stroud.

Hickot and Furl's proud. A pack of the Scatter like scared Jackrabbit. Come back here, all of you! Save your breast, Hoyer. It didn't set so well with the cloud when you plugged a sheriff. They loved that all-long horn.

The best thing we can do now is very most, and I mean pronto. We'll stop Furl now, you kids. I know, Furl's gonna nail your hide at the bunkhouse wall. Now you got Hickot gonna for ya made a fine mess of things.

Everybody's goin' out. We're all alone here. I don't think they spotted us yet. Back at us woodpile. Come on, Sawyer. We can sneak through that stable back of us. Then if we're lucky, we can reach the corral.

I figured we had him for sure. Think like you little dummy. You hit me for... To wake you up, you spineless crawfish. We're in trouble, bad trouble, Savvy. Yeah. Yeah, Savvy. Come on now. We'll make a tracks.

We'll be lucky to get out of this with our skin. And if we do, we'll get Pharaoh and Hickok another way. And I think I know the way. Just take a sniff of that prairie breeze, Bill.

Mmm, ain't it, Heavenly? Near the Heaven is I'll ever get a record. Never figured any of us would be smelling that again, huh, Bill? Look pretty bad there, bro, while. Thanks for not trying to escape, girl.

I didn't have much choice, Bill. Marba, one side, and you with your first full of guns on other. No sir, I know which side my bread's buttered on. Oh, now you would go and mention bread and butter and me with my stomach full of wide open spaces.

Just to make it official, Faro, you'd better hand over that gun now. Ah, sure, Bill. No, no, not that way. Just lift it out with two fingers, Faro, easy like. Still don't trust me, would you?

Not if I was in my right mind. All right, Bill, here it is. Thanks. I don't mind telling your friend. I don't aim to let you or anybody else turn me over to law and ably.

I know that, but that's just what I'm gonna do. There's a railroad track up ahead, Bill. Yeah, that's right. Next leg of the trip is by Iron Horse, girl. Going on my own funeral and styling.

More than you did for all the men you've killed, maybe. But aim to kill one more for our cash, Enviel. And Amun Ombreu likes to pay off a debt. You mean Sam Sawyer? That's a one.

You see, Sam and me weren't business, so to speak. Rob and stagecoaches, banks. You know the way I work. That's all over now. Yeah. Those are price on my head got too high. And things got too hot for Sam.

So he made a deal with the law. He got me while I was sleeping with Sam standing guard. I know. I knew they'd get me some day, but not like that. I figured it could down with my boots on.

I'd wrapped up in a saddle blanket. Looks like we're just in time. Here comes a train now. They'll give me just 24 hours. That's all I'm asking. Then I'll give myself a hug. Not our chance, Pharaoh.

But if it makes you feel any better, I'm going back to look for Sawyer myself. He killed the sheriff. Bill, let me save you the trouble. Come on, Pharaoh, we've got a train to catch.

Come on, boy. Ah! Many thanks for the lunch, lady. Food, where I've been staying wasn't so good. Well, you're a real welcome, boys. There's more if you get hungry. Thanks, ma'am, but we better get back to our own seat now.

Come on, Pharaoh. Well, Ragnar, set a spell, Miss Tilly. You know this, here is sure the way to travel. Nice horse-hair sofasceeds and a pretty lady with a big picnic basket for Connor. Oh, not so long with you, Mr. Jingle.

I just wonder if it's me or that picnic lunch you're as we talking to. Well, it's always a fly you to find a gal who can cook too, you know. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Mr. Jingle.

Well, I reckon that it'd be quite a trip in my case. Well you may be a little well-opposed dude, but I like a man with meat on his bones a real home-body Oh, yes, ma'am. You ain't eating your cake I got a hundred a track loop so can help me lift it up off the road here

Oh, I saw it. Oh, my. Got it. Now, swing it around on your end. There we'll heeb it over the side into the gulch. Where's he going? Yeah. That ought to just about do it, wouldn't you say?

Hey, Bill, give us an hour of use in our head. Good thing that station master was so anxious to talk about Hickok and Pharaoh being on this train. And it's good to think we knew these short kids through the pairs.

I can see it now. The train comes plowing out of the tunnel. It's that span of missing rail. And over the side, Hickok fell over and all. No one's going to walk away from that wreck.

I don't know. They say Hickok's got more lives than the Chuck Wagon cat. Now, if they do live through it, which they won't, they'll be waiting down there to pick them off when they start crawling out.

That's the train coming out. Bill is really wild. Bill, he'll comfort the US Marshal. Yes, ma'am. That's my partner. Oh, dear. Well, that is exciting. Then the young man with him, he must be someone really important too.

Well, in a way, ma'am. That's Pharaoh Stroud. Pharaoh Stroud? Fear us, proud. The old law. Stop the train. I feel faint. Better keep your seat, ma'am. We're coming to a tunnel. Hey, who put out the lights?

Sorry, Bill. Here's what I get out. Barrow, come back here, you fool. Ow! She's getting out this window, Bill. Hold him, Jingle. I got him. I got him. What don't mean, ma'am? Come on, Jingle. We've got to stop him.

I'm with you, Bill. If I can see you... This way. To the back platform. You'll have to jump. We're coming out of the tunnel. When it comes to making your hair stand on end with excitement, with excitement, it's hard to beat Wild Bill, Hickock, and jingles.

Yeah. And take it from old panhandle gym. When it comes to eating, you can't do better in tasty Kellogg's corn pops. A kind that's already sweetened for you. You ever see ranch hands eat? Well, when the dinner bell rings, they come lickety cut for the dinner table, because they need plenty of vitamins

and minerals after working hard. You know that vitamins and minerals and the things you eat are mighty good for you, make you big and strong. Well Kellogg's corn pops, delicious as they are, contain B vitamins, vitamin D, with important minerals and food energy too.

That means you can eat all you want. And the reason you'll just keep on eating them is because those golden-hearted corn are puffed up big and crisp and good and already sweetened for you. Out of the boxer, out of a bowl with milk.

But don't use any sugar because the sweetener's already there, and plenty of it. And that silver-like bag inside the box is really something. Pure aluminum keeps corn pops fresh up to ten times longer. And your mom can use it to store things in the refrigerator or for wrap-and-sandwiches.

But best of all, and already sweetened for you are Kellogg's corn pops. You know who loves pops. Say it with me. Kids love pops. Moms love pops and pops love pops. Right, partners. Now let's get back to Wild Bill and Jingle's.

As their train entered a tunnel, Ferro Stroud tried to escape from Jingle's and Wild Bill. Then, pulling out of the tunnel, the train was derailed by the sabotage of Pharaoh's enemy, Sam Sawyer. Would you look at that train, Bill. We're lucky it stayed right side up.

Looks like we jumped just in time. Funny Pharaoh made his break when he did. Maybe. You figure this wreck was his doing, don't you, Bill? I don't know. Let's get down there and see about the rest of the passengers.

What about Pharaoh? Not time for that now. Don't worry, I'll catch up with him. Looks like everybody's all right. The engineer hadn't slowed for that tunnel, we might have all been killed. Look, there's Tilly down there, she's all right.

Hold on, Jingle. What was that flash in those rocks? Well, it looked like the sand grittin' on a rifle barrel. Right. Look, it's Sawyer. I see him. So this was more of his work. They're cursed!

Why that pulled can't. Wait, Jingle. He means it. They're cursed, I'm angry. The boat's down. The property of guns will let the passengers have it. They've got no choice, Jingle. Can't risk innocent lives. Drop their guns and wait for a chance.

Now let us help those people. That's who we get Pharaoh. Where is he, Hicac? He got away, Sawyer, but you won't. You mean you let him get away? Now where is... I'm bold! And they got Pharaoh.

Come on, Jingle. Pharaoh, where'd they hit you? Never mind. I saw that broke my word, tried to escape. But I got what was coming to me. You got so... So were all of you. You showed yourself to draw their fire, Pharaoh, and you weren't even packing a gun.

Because, man, if I was, you don't think you'd have been taking me alive, do you? He's gone, Bill. Yeah. Well, Jingle's... Come on, we've got work to do. I'd end the morning.

No, just relax, ma'am. You're all right now. Everyone's safe. Nobody was even hurt. Oh, statistics, of course I'm all right. Where's Mr. Jingle's? He ran back into the train, man. What? But everyone's out here. He shouldn't take a chance like that.

Let me- let me- let me- I'm going after him. Now hold on, man. Here he comes now. Oh, he can't engulf you naughty boy. What'd you go back for? Well, I just had to go back, Kelly.

We plumb forgot the picnic lunch. And now here are the stars of Wild Bill Hickock, Guy, Madison, and Andy Devine. Or am I glad you could be with us today folks? Hey guy, before you get started, let me say something please.

Sure enough Andy, the mic's all yours. Well, I've been giving some pretty serious thought to all the folks who maybe haven't tried Kellogg's Corn Pops yet. They're sure missing something all right. Yeah, and folks when Guy and I say that Corn Pops is the great new sir here with us sweetening already on it, we mean them.

And he's right folks. You're missing something good if you haven't tried Kellogg's Corn Pops. So long. See you next week! Yes, sir. Be sure to listen next week at the same time on the same station when Kellogg's Corn Pops brings you another exciting story of Wild Bill Hickock, starring Guy Madison and Andy Divine in person.
