 Get along, you little doggies. It's your misfortune and none of I know. It's a tie, I know. Get along, you little doggies. You know that the ferry will be your new home. Now for the thrilling adventures of Lightning Jim. One of the most exciting events of the Old West was the discovery of gold in Deadwood gout in the Black Hills region of the Old Dakota Territory. It was the colorful era of Deadwood Dick, a shotgun guard, which helped protect the early shipments of gold by state coach and a national hero among the boys of his generation. Into the gold-mad country came United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson. Yes, Whitey, there's Deadwood dogs down there below. You're like him, I'm certainly glad we come out here. I hear so much about all the gold we get in here. Now maybe I get the chance to see some of it. Yeah, I reckon you will, Whitey. Where there's gold, there's always trouble. Yeah, there's been a few hold-ups lately and we're heading into Deadwood to see what we can find out about them. I know the sheriff in Deadwood. Oh, is that so? Yeah, that's Martin, came up here from Kansas. What are you looking at, Whitey? Well, what about him? Now we ain't gonna get into Deadwood if we mow the along like this either. Come on, Thunder. Yeah, this claim is a watch out, Jen. Yeah, but that's a pretty slick idea you had, Ike, taking this claim and working it so the boys wouldn't catch on when we hold up the stages. Yeah, but it ain't gonna last forever, Denny. There's a money state going on tomorrow. I figure we can take it back here and lay low for a few days and mow the out-quiet like this. Yeah, we wish to clear out the same day as the hold-up. They'd have a pot they had on the tray. Hey, hey, come on, come on. Well, well, well, howdy, boys. Nice weather we're having. Well, well, if it ain't Chicago Charlie. What do you want up there? Well, well, nothing in particular. Just go right, drop in and see how you work. And we don't like visitors, mister. Let's have a fuck check, Harry. Now this? Well, that's a camera. That's all. A what? A camera. Have you ever seen a camera before? What do you do with it? We take pictures. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I heard about them picture boxes. Don't point that thing at me. All right, boy, all right, sir. Don't shoot nothing but pictures. Well, let's go to my judge. Get the mover and take that picture-conception with you. Hey, hey, sure, sure, sure. Hey, stranger. Howdy. Now, now, wait a minute. Don't get down yet. Why not? Now, I want to get your pictures. Hold it a minute. All right. Candidate, he's getting rid of them pictures. Yeah. Hold still now. There. There, much to buy. That's all right, mister. Hey, that's the biggest black horse I've ever seen. What's his name? Thunder. Oh, Thunder, eh? Then your name ought to be Lightning. Thunder and Lightning. Got it? Ha, ha, ha, ha. He already got it. Thunder and Lightning, that's a good one. Yeah, that's kind of easy, that's nice. You think they've run up or by yourself? I'm sure. Charlie, Charlie's my name. Boys around here call me Chicago Charlie. Chicago Charlie, eh? Yeah, that's me. Why do we usually charge $100 for letting folks take our pictures? Oh, eh, you're sure? $100. Yeah. But seeing as how you're Chicago Charlie... Oh, have you heard of me before? Oh, sure. Everybody on the planes is head of Chicago Charlie. They having you take our pictures, oh, you're on it. Well, that's money nice of you to say so, mister. That's all right. Seeing as how it's you, I reckon we only charge you $50 for taking a picture. Why? Uh, how about it, Whitey? Oh, that suits me. You mean you want me to pay you $50 for taking your pictures? That's right. Personally. That's a bargain and you better take it before we change our minds. $50. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Hey, that's a good one. For a minute, I thought you really meant it. Can you picture that? Get it? Picture. Yeah, yeah, he gets it. All right, Charlie, but after that, when the price goes back to $100, come on, pay up. Oh, you ain't silly, mister. Why, you bet we are. And it seems to you this has taken too far. No, no, no, wait. You can't shoot me for just taking all your expectations. That's a $100 story. Oh, no, wait. Don't shoot. Hold it, Whitey. Here comes the sheriff and another fellow. Hey, what's going on here? Well, look who is here. Come on, say, Sheriff, I only took that picture. They said I couldn't. Now they say I got to pay them $100. That's right. Now you arrest them, Sheriff. They threatened to shoot me. They're dangerous characters. That's what they are. Now, now, hold your horses, Charlie. He's a meanie. These armed raiders have got an eye on this complete. Why, sure they have, sir. Sure they have. Honest? Why, I never paid nobody for taking their picture. Well, you've been getting away with a graph, that's all. And this picture of me belongs to me, and I've got a right to start for it. Hmm, sounds reasonable to me. You keep your nose out of this deadwood, Dick. Well, Charlie, I've been telling you that picture machine was going to get you into trouble. Here's why it has. Well, I'm not paying $100 to nobody. No? Well, I reckon you better lock him up, Chef. I'll prefer the charges. Yep. Taking the picture and not paying for it is most as bad as stealing a husk. Yeah. And husk stealing is a hanging offense. Well, I reckon you ought to get a try, man. No, no, no. No use bothering with a tile. Hang them now and get it over with. Hey, hey, hey. Wait on that. Come on, Charlie. I've got to take you to jail. I'll pay if you let me go. Well, that did you, Mr. Well, I reckon we hadn't ought to be too hard on him, uh, tenderfoot, ain't he? Yeah. The only thing really bad about him is that he runs all over town taking pictures. I see. Well, give me the cash, Charlie, and I'll drop the charges. Now, that's a holdup. That's what it is. Here. There's the cash and go to places. You're getting off cheap, Charlie. That picture's worth a thousand in anybody's. Oh, yeah? Well, here's the place, and here's what I think it's worth. Now, now, careful there. Get going, Charlie, before I slap you in the deal for this orderly counter. Eh, don't worry, Sheriff. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. Well, let's meet him and let him know, all right? Well, right now, Jim, you old horse things. I sure am glad to see you. Well, I'm sure glad to see you, Sheriff. You remember Whitey. What? Sure do. Sure, Sheriff. I'll be running along, Sheriff. Oh, now, now. Hold on. I want you to meet two old friends of mine. You heard of Lightning Jim Whipple, United States Monarch. Sure have. Well, this is him. And, uh, Lightning, this is Deadwood Dick. Deadwood Dick? I might as well know you, Dick. Well, it's the same goes for me. My name is my partner, Whitey Lawson. Oh, thanks to me. Dick's the guard on the money coach that travels between Deadwood and Sydney. I see. You've been in them hold-ups we've been hearing about? No, no, no. I've been lucky that way. They ain't tried to hold up my state yet. Well, I reckon them rowing agents knows better. Yeah, Dick's one of the big shots in the country. Uh, come on, boys. Let's move you over to my office where we can call. All right, Sheriff. Oh, wait a second. Whitey. There you are. See if you can find that, uh, Chicago's Charlie. Chicago's Charlie? Yeah. Take this cash. You gave me and give it back to him. He, but my's OK, but it'll take him a lot. Ah, he's had his lesson, I reckon. Go on, Whitey. We'll see you at the sheriff's office. Oh, sure. George! Oh, it's you again, eh? Don't come near me. I don't want nothing to do with you. You're playing highway car. Take it easy, not Charlie. Ah, take it easy. Your partner stole $100 from me. No, he didn't. Never stole any of you. Oh, a joke, huh? Well, I can't see anything funny about that. Well, how would you like to have him on the back? Oh, I don't make me laugh. Lift and lighten him. Yes, if you'd be... Did you say his name was Lighten and Jim? You're Lighten and Jim. Christine I. Yes, Marcia. Oh, supper and catfish. Why, catfish? No, but that is... Lighten him or just have a little fun with him. Test your Monday. No, what do you think it is? Say, that's not a good one. I got to remember that to tell the boys back at the cargo. I don't know when he was only joking. Imagine charging me $100. $100. Hey, wait a minute. You mean get our picture in for $100? Well, no, not now. Hey, I ought to bust you in the north. No, wait. I said not now. I broke the place till there ain't any picture. Then if there ain't any picture, it ain't worth anything. Get it? Oh, that's too worse. Okay. Yeah, much worse that much. Oh, sure it was. Hey, I lost the screw off my camera. Yo, are you a little sick? Well, I'm not sure, but I think it was up in the gunker way. I was taking their pictures there where I can dance plain. Oh, who's sick and then? Oh, hard rock, I can bummer down the boys' column. A couple of pasta, yellow. Have you ever seen them panting for gold? Well, no, not really. Close up. Well, come along with me and I'll show you how it's done. Maybe we can find the screw for that camera. Yo, I do that. That's good. Say, you know, that was a good joke I put on your fight. That's funny. Don't seem to be nobody around. Well, it's just the place where them two you just live, you ever talking about? Yeah, this is like a dance claim, all right? This is our tax. Hey, hey, Sam! There's no better home. It's like Sally, like there's something to eat. Yeah. Well, good. That's me hungry, and you're me too. Well, we better go inside. Hey, something's happened to us. Yo, let's open up the door. Oh, hey there. Hey, what's here on the stone? Well, well, a big pot of beans. My wife doesn't smell good. Yeah, and they look good too. Yeah, I wonder if they're too cooked. Well, here's a spoon. You try them. Yeah. Mm, boy, boy. Good, eh? Yeah. Let me take some too. Yeah, here you are. Mm, yes. There's at least more. You get your own spoon, I'm sure. Here, I'm gonna take it. Boy, this is just you know how to cook beans by galley. Mm, mm, mm. I never did it like I can damn personal. I got a hand at all. You wouldn't give me the price to see you here. Yeah, and wouldn't we be surprised if they walked in right now? Oh, that's so... You know, they wouldn't be able to not get that. Oh, howdy, I. That's a big idea. Yeah, what right you got coming in here? Oh, no, no, no. It's not that easy, boy, but I can explain everything. I'm not explaining. Well, you'll see it worse this way. You remember, I was out there taking pictures. Yes, and we charged and had to come back. Yo, no, put that gun down, damn. Keep talking. Sure. Well, when I got back to town, I discovered that I lost a school for my camera. So many of my friends come up to look for us, see? No, I don't see. Oh, that don't explain what you're doing in here. Well, we thought something might have happened to you. You might have been sick or something, you know? So, well, we came up in the booth. You felt so good. You know how it feels when you're hungry and you smell beans cooking. So, we didn't mean no harm. We'd be glad to pay for the beans. Yo, sure did care for them. They did give me something. Well, I'm interested in what you're thinking of beans. You're on private property. We got a right to stick that down. Oh, no, yo, what to do left? You wouldn't shoot us for eating a few measly old beans. A few measly old beans. Thought you said they was good beans. Oh, so, of course they're good. You just find yourself here. I'll get you some. No, you don't. They're right where you are. I got Jeff's gun, then. Yeah. Hey, no, please, come here. I don't want to let you shoot your head off. Get on. You know, listen, boys, let me look at you. Get on. Yeah, I'll let you. I'll see you that way about it. All right. So, you boys like beans, huh? Yo, you sure it's a cook-like, I do. But you do like these beans. Oh, yes, indeed. And we ought to shoot you for being such a pest with that picture machine as we're coming in here. But I got a better idea. What are you going to do, all right? Put a pot of beans over here, then. Yeah. Yeah. Put it on the table between these two umbrellas. There you are. Now, both of you start eating them beans and don't stop till every last bean is gone. It ain't hot. No, no, let me see your hair. All right, we can't eat all them beans. Take your choice. Either you eat or we drill you. And when you get through at this pot, we'll have some more ready for you. Well, this is one time when Whitey's going to get a free meal on the house. All the beans he can eat and then some. What happens to Whitey and Charlie and the plan if I can then to rob the money-stage will be told in part two, which follows immediately. And now for part two of the thrilling exploits of the United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy Whitey Larson. We have heard how they went to Deadwood Delta to investigate hold-ups of the money-stage coaches that carried gold to the railroad. They met Deadwood Dix and Chicago Charlie who spent most of his time taking pictures of the famous Deadwood characters. But Whitey and Charlie got into trouble when they visited the shack of Hard Rock Ike and bummer Dan. At the point of a gun, Ike and Dan forced Whitey and Charlie to eat a pot full of beans. There's still some more beans in that pan. Hey, I... I can't eat. No more? You know what I mean? I'm good to both. Come on, Ike. Don't talk so much. Yeah. That's all. Yeah. The beans just going... and I eat too. That's me. That's me. I'll be right here. Me too. All right. Get out. Don't come back again. Yeah, come on. Come on. You will regret this, gentlemen. Yeah. Make them dance, Danny. Yeah, the bullet dance. I don't think I'm a legend. Yeah. I reckon that's enough money. We've got serious business to do now. Yeah. We've got to figure out about holding up the money stage. Yeah. Well, now here's what we'll do. That's a good one. I'm sure sorry I missed seeing you boys eat them beans. I don't see nothing funny. No, sir. Me neither. I like to see two of you eat these two pots of beans. Oh, my. I've got a stomach ache. And I think I wasted a perfectly good picture on those cut throws. Yeah. You took a picture of them? Sure. Here it is in my pocket. Let me see it, Charlie. Yeah. There you are. The one on the left is hard-lock ice. And the other cusp is bummer-dan. Well, that's interesting. Well, you've seen them before, 19th. I don't know for sure, Whitey, but teams like their faces are kind of familiar. Why? Them other cats have come in here a couple of months ago and bought out old Mike's claim that the girls are weak. Yes, I heard about Mike selling his claim, but I ain't met up with these hombres. Well, they ain't been in town much, but they appear like hard-working miners to me. It's kind of sociable and quiet, like. Oh, there are plenty of sources, but when it comes to handing out beans, I tell you. Well, believe me, the way I see it right now, I take the first stage out of Deadwood and head back to Chicago. That's the first sensible thing I've heard you say, Charlie. Why can't you do that? Well, I promised the boys back in Chicago I'd show them a picture of a real hold-up. You know, a stagecoach hold-up. So that's worth taking, huh? You want to get a picture of a real hold-up, isn't it? Well, me? Why, I'd give my right arm for a picture like that. Take it easy, Charlie. You might live to regret that. No, not me. Good luck, Charlie, is my name. See you later, boys. Yeah, crazy galoo. He's going to first round when somebody butts that picture machine over his head. Hey, boys, I've got an idea. What is it? Well, Charlie says he'll go back to Chicago as soon as he gets a picture of a real stagecoach hold-up. All right, let's see if it'll get that picture. I am. How are we going to do that? Well, that's easy, easy. Charlie's been pestering me to ride on the money stage for a long time, saying that he might be on hand for a hold-up. Of course, that's a good one. Well, I'll be gone. He's got more nerve than safe. That's what I told him. That's a good idea, big. Oh, I just got a laugh to think about it. No, no, no, come on. This is a point. Sure, sure. Now, listen, the regular stage is you to go out of dead wood at 9 o'clock. Now, I'll fix it with the boys to hold up the regular stage and I'll take out another stage instead. Yeah, but where does Charlie come into the air? I'm getting to that. I'll tell Charlie I'm making a special trip and he'll be sure to ask me if he can go along. Here's where you boys come in, pick up some mass, get your horses, and take out the stage trail a few miles and wait for the stage. Oh, so that's it. You want us to pull a fake hold up. Right! Charlie gets his pictures. Then we get rid of Charlie. What do you say, right now? Well, this business of running down the criminal time is serious. Most of the time, and I reckon we have no to pass up a chance for a laugh once in a while. You can tell me, boys. Now, I'll tell you. It's almost eight now. Now, I'd give this a now to get ready. Come on. Today is going to be real. What trouble, Whitey? You look kind of pale. Well, I was just thinking about the trip. This is made of heat dampening. I'm going to get even with them if it's the last thing I do. Whoa! Whoa, easy there, girl. Now, come on, Dick. Just this one. Well, I don't know, Charlie. More than we was to run into some road agents and they were to hold up the save. Say, that would be wonderful. I've got my camera right here. You let me go along, and I'll give you this watch that I bought in Chicago. See? It's almost new. Yes. Well, all right. Give me the watch and jump in. Oh, thanks, Dick. Well, a real pass. All right, come on. Get in. Good. Hey, where's the money bar? Right there on the floor. Now, if there's any shooting, keep it down low. Well, I hope there is a hold up so I can get my pictures. Get up there. Come on, girl. Well, Jeff, we've been waiting here behind this boulder for half an hour. Seems like that wood dick in the stage ought to be along pretty soon. Yeah. I can see the tree is quite a ways down. And there ain't no sign of the stage coming. Maybe Charlie wouldn't go. Yeah, maybe so. Anyway, we might as well wait a little longer. Yeah. Yeah. Say, yeah. I meant to ask, yeah. Where'd Whitey go? Well, he had a little business he wanted to look after. And I told him we could handle this job ourselves. Yeah, we sure can. It'll be worth a year's salary to see the look on Charlie's face. Yeah. Hold on, Jeff. He's dust-raising over the trail back yonder. Yeah. Here comes the scene. Yes, but a mile of gold for the gift here. Come on, I do. Let's write down these. Come on, Thunder. That ball a little straight. I ain't movin', mister. Hold on, you're gonna be quick about it. Sure. All right, driver. Come on down here. You're wasting your time, mister. Yeah. Where's that money box? Inside the coat. Open the door and get the box, mister. Won't do you no good. Let's pull him around and drag that box out here. Sure. No, no, no. Don't shoot me. Take the box. Don't shoot me. Well, I'll pay. Hey, what is this? What are you doing in there? Well, I was just taking a ride, that's all. Place that box out here and hurry up. That's my floor, mister. Here it is. I got it. Why, the lid ain't locked. What's the idea, mister? I told you you were wasting your time. This ain't the regular money stage. I was just taking Charlie out for a little price there. Hey, there comes two riders. Let's go this way. Yeah, let's clear out of here. Come on. There we are, mister. Don't try to follow us. Yeah, I'm just gonna follow you. Please, please. That was a close one all right. Yeah, it's closer than you know, Charlie. Say, do you suppose those two steps come in to hold up men too? No, not me. Well, how do you know? Step it down, Dick. Say, where's my camera? Forget, forget the camera. You won't need it. Well, thank you. Why? It's my men's camera, my camera. You had to shoot them and figure something was wrong. Well, then, Jasmine, Dick. You know, Lightning, they rode out from these lawns and held us up, thinking it was a regular stage. Yeah, we see them up the trail. Yes, kind of double crosses, huh? Yeah. Hey, it was a good thing you fellas come along when you did. Yeah, we hadn't been so brave far off the trail we'd have caught them critters. Ain't too late yet, Sheriff. Which way's the head, Dick? Down the canyon toward the creek. Come on, Sheriff. Have some fun. Get out of there, Sheriff. Go on. Get back in the coach, Charlie. Hey, how come there was no money in the box? What do you mean, selling those bandits? This wasn't a regular stage. Long story, Charlie. I'll tell you about it when we get back to town. Well, anyway, it was lucky I came along with you. I still hope the picture I took turns out good. Imagine getting a picture of a real holdup. Yeah. Imagine. It's like the end of the trail right ahead of you. You beat me up to... Surprise. Yes. Yes, I can damn sure. Yeah. Come on, the horses are still rattled. And there's more coming out to see. Yeah. Now it's like cooking. What are you doing there? I'm out with your hands in the air. Reach for the sky. Howdy, boys. Well, it's crazy. Where's Ike and Dan? Oh, there right there. Come on in. Hey, what in place going on here? Well, Sheriff, you are looking at pure honest minus each and a nice big mess at a finest piece that Ike ever cooked in Dead Boys. Ike and Dan. This is the most rotten thing. Oh, I can't eat them. Therefore you keep eating them piece or a bust, you're on a sneak. You ain't throwing to me every last bean in that pan, my darling. Help me. Help me, Sheriff. Oh, I'm dying. Well, sir, you're right, Dan. Looks like Whitey's getting even with you for what you've done to Human Shirley. Yeah, that's too bad. Sorry I had to get a picture of her. Dad, you know why you're coming here, right? Yes, Sheriff. When I saw that picture Charlie took of Ike and Dan, I thought the faces were kind of familiar. I wasn't sure where I'd seen them, but I figured they might bear watches. So I told Whitey to come up here and keep an eye on them. Yeah, sir. I used to sell us without giving sorry. It's this course, right? I come up here and found out that Ike and Dan was out somewhere. They keep eating them beanster, well, yes. Well, I seen it was a good chance to get even with them, and I cooked these beans, and we had for them to come back. Well, maybe you don't know it, Whitey, but these arm braids held up the beans here in the kitchen. That's right, Mr. Sheriff, and we trailed them back here. Well, sir, they were the cleaners done their job. Good work, Whitey. Hey, you better say true yet. You stemmed their beans. Oh, help me. Oh, help me, Sheriff. I'm dying. Then I'm sorry, Dan, but this is one time I'm not in the period. And when Whitey gets through, I'm taking you to jail. You're, Sheriff, and you'll be sure that three times a day, you give them plenty of beans. Oh, sir. And so ends another thrilling chapter in the lives of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson.
