 Life on the Red Horse Ranch, an attempt has been made to kidnap Dewey Dawson from Red Horse Ranch. The boys are pretty sure that it is the work of two escaped outlaws who once were members of Trigger Dawson's old gang. Trigger Dawson, who was believed to be Dewey's father, is now dead. No one knows what the escaped outlaws want with Dewey. But let's join the folks on Red Horse Ranch. I'm holdin' down my claim, and my bills are not always served. Play shyly round me as I nestle down to rest in the little old suchaddy on my clay. Suchaddy on my clay, clothes are plastered, or I wish that some kind would eat me from the mess that I am. If this her home, she'd make- Like our singin' musta scared Dewey's dog way. Cookie, can't you help Dewey find that pooch? Hell yeah! I think we found suchad all I can do. Well, we'll try to satisfy you, Cookie. How about it, boys? Yeah! Land of the winky-wacky, but I must say that you can't be turnin' a straw by cranky. I like mountain music, good ol' mountain music, played by a real hillbilly band. Haven't you found your dog yet? No, sir. Elizabeth's gone. I can't find him no place. Don't let it worry you too much, Dewey. He just wandered off chasin' jackrabbit someplace. Well, he's been gone off a long time. I don't see why he don't come back. Dear Elizabeth! Arizona was down here singin' a little bit ago. I mighta scared him off. All shucks, I got a beautiful voice. Just listen to this. My mother, well, as yours was, you would not. Well, why don't somebody stop me? Everything'll be scared off. We keep that up, Arizona. We better sing to keep Arizona quiet. Come on. Where's Alabama? Well, I think Alabama and Tex are down in the crowd breakin' in that Bay of Cold. I wouldn't bother him now if I was you, Dewey. Well, what if Elizabeth was gone someworsin'? He wandered me and was a whole lotta lions gettin' in. Seems to me you're worryin' too much about that dog, Dewey. I wouldn't have a dog that couldn't take care of itself. Well, listen here, Dewey. We'll sing you a funny song. Now, don't laugh at us. Now, don't laugh. Bobby gets powerful mad when you laugh at him. We got a cow down on our farm. Don't go near fatty strange. She's got long horns, but she means no harm. Don't go near fatty strange. One day, while crossing a frozen stream, her tail got caught in the ice, it seems. And ever since she gave ice cream, if that ain't strange... I reckon it made me laugh, too. Here comes Alabama. Maybe he saw Elizabeth. Hey, you fellas, is this way to earn a living? Well, we're enjoying it. Are y'all through down to Corral, Alabama? Not so you could notice it. That Bay of Cold turned out to be a fighter. You all better come on down and help me and Tex air him down. Sure, if that's all you want. Once that y'all gonna do, you aim down. Mr. Alabama, I wouldn't do that if I y'all... Well, that's the only way you can get a bronc to stand still long enough to put a saddle on him, to get his ear between your teeth and hold him there. Yes, but I wouldn't aim down like this. Well, why not Cookie? Because how y'all like to have your ear between his teeth. Edelman, Edelman, are you gonna help me find Elizabeth? I'll help Cookie help you find him, Ed, do you? Say, come on, boys, and let's hear another tune before I go back on the car. Six months have gone by yourself Four six weary months long I've been sick in bed My poor hungry heart understands But coming on you fellas, Tex will be wondering what's happened to all of us. Yeah, let's get this job down to Corral over with. I don't want you getting lost. But I want to find my dog, Alabama. Elizabeth's gone. Well, have Cookie help you find him then, but keep your eye on Dewey, Cookie. Yes, sir, but I was powerful busy. Come on, Dewey. You say that cold's giving you trouble, Alabama? Yeah. Hey, where have you been anyhow? All right. I've been waiting for the last half hour. Well, I figured you needed a little rest, Tex. We was just up at the house singing. Well, I got tired waiting. I just sidled him up without you. Well, but you'll go groundhog you. Ain't there no horse that can lick you? Well, we'll see about that as soon as I stride him. But I ain't gonna do it now. Well, we just as well get back up to the chuck house then. Cookie ought to have something ready to eat by this time. Not at the rate he was going when we left him. Hey, Cookie! Yes, Miss Idaho. Figure we'll get anything to eat today? Yes, the chuck's practically done right now. Why, Cookie, where'd Dewey go to? He's looking for his dog. I don't know. He went somewhere. But I thought I told you to watch him. Yes, sir. I kept my practically on him only. He went down there somewhere as he did. Well, I don't see him. What was he doing? Say, he thought he'd hear that dog barking or something. Hey, Dewey! Now, what are you supposed... He couldn't have gone clear down to that clump of trees, could he? Yeah, I said that's where he was going. I was too busy to go with him. Come on, boys. I don't like this. We'll go with you. Let's go. Dewey! Dewey! Where are you? I don't see a sign of him. But he's gotta be around here somewhere. Where'd he gone to? Well, it's a sure thing he ain't around here close, so he'd answer us. Say, ain't there been some horses along here in the trees? You don't suppose it... Oh, that don't mean nothing. I don't think Cookie knows what he was talking about. Look here, fellas. Ain't there something of Dewey's here on the ground? Let me get a look at it, Bob. Why, it's a locket. And the locket Dewey always wore around his neck. What could that mean, Alabama? It means just one thing. Dewey's gone. For what strange reason could the outlaws have for kidnapping Dewey? Be sure to keep in tune for more happenings on Red Horse Ranch.
