 It's the Roy Rogers show Oh sugarcrisp the cereal treats. It's fun to eat brings you the Roy Rogers show transcribed on the double R bar ranch with Pat Brady and the Queen of the West In person the King of the Cowboys Roy Rogers Well, howdy folks. Here's my good word for today It's about a honey of a new cereal post sugar crisp and it's my hunch You'll like it just as much as we do out here at the double R bar ranch You see post sugar crisp is just downright good eating and it's good so many different ways try it real soon Won't you? Well, sir, let's see about our today's story. Shall we? Paradise Valley feels like celebrating today Young Fred apt is recovered from that accident He was in and more the insurance company awarded him a good sum of money so now he can buy a ranch That's what Fred is always wanted and everybody's pulling for him Don water is and his foreman Burma Blum are especially happy for him In fact, only one man seems to be against him Marion Connolly and there he is on Main Street. Don and Burma have seen him You stop up here by the general store and wait for me Burma Nothing doing mr. Wateress. You may have trouble with Connolly if you do if I do you want to be on the sidelines You can't afford to be around trouble. Yeah. Yeah, I see what you mean boss Okay, I'll wait, but I'll be here if you need me Connolly, what do you want John? I'd like to talk to you for a minute What about about Fred apt some other time? I'm rather busy this now Connolly and here There's been rumors that you're trying to get Fred's insurance money by pomming off High Hoper Ranch on it Watch what you're saying. I want to talk plain The high hope is worthless land every square foot of it. You're just Fred didn't work for his money He got it for nothing. Why shouldn't it be fair game for anybody who can take why you no, no, I Didn't mean that Fred got the money because he isn't able to work like other men. He won't ever be able to work like other men And I don't propose to stand by and see him cheated I'm going to offer him decent property for his money Property that will give him a living listen to me down. Now you listen close You kill this deal of mine, and you won't have my say Connolly I'll see you later. I'm back here down. I've been time now. I'm a busy man. Oh Burma, I'd like you to take the supplies on back to the Mrs. Alone sure boys Look It's not my place to tell you what to do But if I was you I wouldn't interfere with Connolly. He's mean somebody has to interfere Burma All right, you take the supplies on home. I'll ride over to Squaw Creek and see Fred before Connolly can complete his deal Good luck Fred. You won't be sorry about my property His horse must have thrown him all right Sheriff I think somebody better tell Mrs. Waters as soon as possible and she been notified yet Connolly I doubt it. You see I was on my way home from visiting Fred at in Squaw Creek when I found down So I came straight into town for you important as a back fence cat. Thank you Pat Well, if funny you didn't run into down at Squaw Creek. He'd been there visiting Fred himself How do you know I met him there? He told me he'd sold Fred the old peach tree ranch Oh, I don't think so surely Fred would have said something to me the reason I'm so sure is that Don called me had $8,000 in cash on him Fred paid for the ranch with the insurance money Don hasn't got 8,000 in cash on him now Sheriff, huh? What's that Roy just two one dollar bills and 35 cents in change, but he died from the fall There's no doubt about that We haven't found any signs of violence as there would be if it had been robbed Well, there wouldn't need to be any signs of violence not if he was robbed after that fall Oh, no, nobody'd be low enough to do that. Yes, sir Who was the first man to find him? Well, I was but I didn't even get off my horse. I rode for town immediately What's the matter Roy? You're also sure Don was killed by falling from his horse, huh? Oh, aren't you fairly but I've been wondering what scared the horse enough to make him throw down Well, the wind might have blown something across the trail or chipmunk could have darted under his feet or maybe a shadow or Two or three bullets bullets. What are you getting at Roy? Look over here straight across the trail from where the horse reared the boulders Yeah, these three marks where something has chipped the stone It's just possible somebody fired in this direction to scare the horse so Don would be thrown You'll have to excuse me. It's it's hard to talk after hearing a thing like this We won't bother you much longer Mrs. Waters one thing we would like to know though. Did Don have any enemies? Well, if he had he didn't say anything about him He was the kind of a man who never bothered his family with worry I didn't even know he'd ridden over to see Fred All he said was that he and Burma was going to a mineral city for supplies Burma is your foreman Burma Blum Don took him from the penitentiary when he was up for parole and we've been mighty happy He did we've never had a better foreman. He's been with us almost six months. Is that he coming out of the bunkhouse? Yes, yes, that's Burma. Why where's he going? He's carrying his bedrolls sneaking out, huh? Burma, sorry, Mrs. Waters. See you later. Come here. Don haven't time now. I'm busy Roy do something Oh Burma, Mrs. Waters needs help Don has been in a bad accident Yeah, I heard you're telling about it Mighty sorry. You figured on going somewhere? I didn't pack my bedroll just to keep busy Rodgers You think it's a good idea to leave right now? I do Rodgers for reasons you don't know about you better stick around a few days We're not sure this is an accident fact is we're sure it wasn't Roy You didn't tell me. We're not sure mrs. Waterless. I hope you ain't insinuating. I killed the boss not at all I'm just asking you to stick around if you think I killed mr. Waterless grab me while you got the chance because I'm pulling freight No, not if we can I say I'm pulling my freight Out of the way Roy I'll take him Well, I would have took him only you always got to do everything and such a rush Roy I wish you hadn't done that. I couldn't very well help myself mrs. Waters Come on throw him in the Nellie Bells back seat and I'll take him into jail Nellie Bell and me is carried worse stuff We haven't any reason to take him to jail pet not yet anyway Well, do you have to have a reason he'll come to in a few minutes when he does? We'll find out why he's in such a hurry to leave and that may give us our reason I Figured when I heard you're talking to mrs. Waterless. You were here to frame me you're wrong Burma not just a cotton pickin minute. Well, that's redid that's redid That's silly Roy Rogers never framed anybody in his whole life Well, anyway, I knew I couldn't stay here or they'd be trouble. I'm on parole from the penitentiary I've got a record for robbery. Why they didn't even know about your record Burma. You'd be in real trouble if you left Yes, the parolee has to stay where he's put all the law would find me sometime I knew that but the boss has been on the level with me. He gave me a chance when nobody else would I Figured it's my job to get the ombre who killed him. I still figure it that way Well, it's everybody's job Burma not just yours, but it's mine in particular in mine What were you planning to do first Burma having a settlement with Marion Connelly the boss and he may have trouble in town this morning Connelly wanted to sell high-hope ranch that fellow who had the accident Fred apt yeah The boss wouldn't stand for it. He told Connelly right to his feet He warned the boss not to interfere if he wanted to leave. I guess Connelly forgot to mention that to us I'm not lying Roy. Well, it adds up the sheriff met Don and Squaw Creek and Don said he'd sold Fred some property Nellie Bell Better start your generator. We're leaving. Wait a minute Pat Burma Just so you're in the clear. Do you mind telling us what you did with yourself all day? Well, I brought the supplies home like the boss told me after I got here I worked on the water pump didn't finish you about half an hour ago. You can check if you want to see that it's fixed Well, that won't be necessary You stay on the ranch and keep out of trouble. What about Connelly? What about the boss? Well, we'll handle that your only concern is to keep away from trouble yourself. The boss was awful good to me You keep out of trouble. We don't want to kill or run and lose any more than you do and you can depend on it We'll take the man who's guilty Do you think there's any reason to doubt Burma story Roy? Well, I don't know if he made it up He's got a good one. The Connelly rants just ahead. We'll see how he acts when we face him with a few facts I sure hope we can clear it up. This is Waters didn't say much for boy She was sure holding back an awful lot Those shots came from Connelly's house somebody's after you come on trigger boy Boy Dale and Pat turn into the lane as they approach the ranch house They see Connelly standing in the doorway terrified in front of him not 20 feet away is Mrs. Waters a rifle in her hand Bell turn off your gas save me Roy. She wants to kill me put that gun down Mrs. Waters Back with Roy and two shakes Let's greet his pals handy dandy and candy the three honey bears on the front of every package of post sugar crisp Hi fellas, it's always a treat to see you Absolutely sugar crisp is the cereal treat that's fun to eat This cereal is really different Wholesome puffed wheat with a delicious candy coating of sugar and honey and the three sugar crisp bears say that sugar Crisp is fun to eat three different ways It sure is first as a cereal if dandy sugar crisp is just sweet enough You don't need any sugar for a marvelous breakfast treat just pour on milk or cream Boy sugar crisp is great for snacks.

I'll take that that gun You all right Connolly, I don't know I don't know she And I'll do do it mr. Connolly. I've been stopped for now But I'll kill you before I'm through the same as you kill Don Dale come here a minute. Well, you sure thing Roy keep the gun Roy I'm busy water us. Look here. You don't want to do anything like this. Oh, I know he killed on You're all right Connolly walk over this way. You don't know that he killed on. Oh, I'm sure of it I'm just as sure as if I'd seen him do it. There couldn't have been anybody else Watch her right you haven't any proof though. And even if you had it's the law's place to punish not ours He killed on I'm gonna kill him. Hey Roy that woman is gonna be locked up Nobody say file shoes on the loose in her presence say to mine Come on. We'll go up on the porch and rest for a few minutes. All right But I'm not through Don't think I've quit Dale may try to talk you out of having that woman locked up Roy, but she's got to be in jail I'll have her arrested now. The whole trouble with her is she was like getting here Well, I don't think that's any way to talk to a man whose life is in danger How you could do something Connolly at least two people will think you've killed waters But but you and I know he died in an accident. I understand you and he had a quarrel this morning. Is that right? Well, we had a slight disagreement, but Friends as close as Don and I couldn't actually quarrel Burma Blum he's Don's foreman and mrs. Waters think different I'm going to send for the sheriff and ask him to take you into custody for your own good Rogers I absolutely refuse to pat. Will you drive in and get the sheriff? Yes, sir. He tried your Adam's nally bell. We're all rolling for town. No, see here. I said protective custody You're not being arrested. We're trying to save your life. Get going pat We're waiting the house until you're back If you want me to stay until the sheriff comes I will but I'm all right They'll point it out to me how Don was always a man who believed in the law What is it Roy? Well, there's a gang of some kind coming up the lane. I don't like to look certain Sure enough Burma Roy, you said he believed I killed Don. Let's see what it is Burma and riders from all over the territory They've come from me. Roy. Do you think we can handle it? Don't let them kill me Don't let them kill me. Now get in the closet Connolly. Hurry. Stay there Don was my friend. Why it's wrong to keep out of sight. They're coming up the steps, Roy You and Mrs. Waters better get back out of the way too, Dale. Well, if there's any trouble, I'm with you Hold on here. Wait a minute. What is all this? We've come for him, Rogers, and we're taking Who are you talking about? Don't stall me. I know what'll happen to me for doing this job So I haven't much to lose. All I care about is getting Connolly before I'm caught If it's Connolly you're looking for you know it's Connolly. Bring him out He's followed with me. Someone worked for the boss. They all think like I do that the boss was the best We're not turning back until we have attended to the man who killed him Burma, don't put yourself in danger, Mrs. Waters. I don't want you to do anything like this Burma Well, somebody has to do it. The boss is dead. Don't you think I know that better than any of you? His killer's running free. The boss... If there is a killer, the law will take care of him Or the law. But before anything else, we have to prove that Don really was killed No, wait, wait, wait. I know how you feel. I feel the same way only more so The boss has been my whole life for almost 18 years If there is a killer, we have to prove it first. We'll prove it We'll open Connolly's safe right there and if we find $8,000 cash, we'll know we've come to the right place No, Burma. No. No, the law. Oh, the law. What good is the law? Now wait a minute. Are you asking what good the law is, Burma? It worked in your case, didn't it? I wouldn't have said a thing like that under any other circumstances Burma I don't believe a man whose page should be reminded of the past That's all right, Rogers. The law does work and I think we ought to let it work here too Your boss believed in the law, don't you remember? And he was the best man you ever knew Yeah, okay They'll be all right now, Roy. I'm sure they will and a lot of the thanks goes to you Well, we're willing to let the law take its course, Rogers on account of the boss and his misses All we're asking is that you turn Connolly over to us so we can be sure the law gets him It's a sheriff, Roy. Yeah, I see Burma Now you won't have to bother with Connolly. What's all this? Having a little trouble, Roy? I know, Sheriff. If you're out, there's one man I can take care of quick We're not in trouble. Everything's fine. Some of these men worked for Don and others for his neighbors They and Mrs. Waterless were offered to help the law track down Don's killer if Don was killed fine Uh now that the sheriff's here boys. I I guess you won't have to bother with the suspect Let's go home. Shall we boys? Hey, if that's what you think we should do, Mrs. Waterless Well, I'm willing to trust Roy Burma and I wish you would too. Okay Oh, uh, thank you, Rogers. Oh, you're welcome and don't you worry now I don't get this Roy. Pat wrote in saying you wanted me to take Marion Connolly into protective custody because Mrs. Waterless Oh now shucks. I might have gotten mixed up, Sheriff Yeah, you might have but I don't think you're dead They gone And I certainly want to thank you folks And if ever I can do anything for your benefit forget it Connolly Yeah, I guess it won't be necessary to take me into protective custody with it Way things worked out The only thing though, I'd stick pretty close to home until this thing's settled if I were you Above all, don't leave the territory. And why shouldn't I leave if I Oh, yes, yes, you're over. That's all right. Of course, of course. I won't leave Okay, well we'll ride along then Roy. Oh, come on Dale pat Sorry, we brought you out here for nothing sheriff Hey, pull in your horses easy, but Oh steady trigger I couldn't explain back there in front of Connolly, but he's not cleared yet. Well, I wondered Well, he knows he's under suspicion and if he's guilty He'll probably take off within the next couple of hours without sneak sheriff You go on over and watch the entrance to his ranch. He may leave earlier than I figured sure Roy Dale pat we'll slip back to the house and check on our friend When the sun goes down, he'll probably go into action Oh Back with Roy in a minute, but first the three sugarcrisp bears We're the sugarcrisp bears and we want you to meet the grandest treat you ever did eat post sugarcrisp As a cereal, it's dandy for snacks. It's so handy or eat it like candy Post sugarcrisp.

This is what we've been waiting for Hey, does it strike you folks that Connelly may be getting ready to skip the country there The roll of bills Dale, does it look as though he's got $8,000 in that roll?
