 Hello there. This is the family doctor. Just wait and don't keep fussing around me all the time. How can I get you much ready if you keep meddling with me? But we won't get going, Mom. Let me see. I guess everything's ready. Will you boys promise me not to go near the lake? It's too early to go in swimming and I haven't any money for you to waste on Chris Miller's boat. Oh gee, Mom. I've got two bits. Can't you let us have two bits more so as we can take a ride in a boat? No, Billy. You keep your 25 cents. You'll be glad you saved it when you want to go to a movie next week. Okay. Come on, Jimmy. Edna? Oh, yes, Lynn. Have the boys gone yet? No, they're still here. Oh. Now, boys, while you twins are away on your hike today, I want you to remember that you are brothers. I don't want to hear any disagreements. Is that understood? Sure, Dad. Yeah, Dad. Is that all? Yes, that's all. Have a good time, boys, but stay away from the lake unless Mr. Miller's right there. Yeah, we will. It's long, Mom. Bye, Dad. Bye. Bye, boys. It's nearly enough. Dr. Adams done. Oh, that's all right, Mrs. Maynard. I am not critically injured. Sorry, Dr. Adams. Don't worry about it, boys. You looked as though you were in somewhat of a hurry. Yeah, Dr. Adams. We're going on a hike. Oh, wow. That's fine. Where are you going? Up to Miller's Lake. Jimmy, I mean up by Miller's Lake. I see. Well, have a good time. Okay. Bye, bye, bye, bye. Oh, that crick in my back's getting them out worse. Hello, Griff. Huh? Who's that? Billy and Jimmy Maynard. Oh, howdy, boys. What you doing up here? Oh, we've just come up on a hike. What are you doing, Griff? Oh, cocking this number five black bottom again. I had you there. Stopper leaking. There. There, now we're trapped. I will help you, Griff. Come on, Jimmy. All right. All right. All right. Come on, Jimmy. All right. There she looks. Okay, Dory to me. When we see the Dory, just a flat bottom. Oh, Griff, would you like my brother and me to try her out for you? Oh, no, no, no. I'll take a roll around to the other side of the lake for a while. We wouldn't go far, Griff. Sure. You want to take a ride, huh? Yeah, yeah, Griff. You got a letter from your ma or your pa? Letter? Yeah. Got to have a letter before I let any of you youngers take a boat out from now on. Well, no. No, we haven't got a letter. You bring the letter now and let you go out. Okay. Come on, Billy. Let's get going. Yeah. Come on. Where are you going? Oh, just up the hill, I guess. We've never been past the lake before. We're kind of going exploring. All right, boys. Stopping on your way down. I'll give you some liquor to talk. Gee, thanks, Griff. Yeah. Okay, Griff, so long. How far do you think it is to the top of the hill, Billy? I don't know. About 50 miles, maybe. Should we try to make it to the top today before we eat? Well... All right, we can try it. Come on. Hey, Jimmy. Can you stop for a while, huh? What's the matter? You getting chicken? Who's chicken? Listen to you. You get puffin' like an old freight train yourself. Well, okay. If you want a rest, I'll stop with you. Hey, Jimmy. Look over there. Yeah, what? Do you see something that looks like a cave? Huh? Cave? Let me see. Oh, yeah. Kind of a hole in the side of the hill. Well, what do you say we explore it, huh? Yeah, let's. Come on. Gee, I wonder what's in there. Maybe a bear or something, huh? No, there ain't any bears up here. Only jack rabbits. I wonder why we've never heard of this cave before, Billy. I don't know. Maybe we're the first to ever see it. Wouldn't that be something? Oh, yeah. Well, here we are. Should we go in? Well, okay. You ain't scared, are you, Billy? Me? No. Go on. You go first. Gee, it's getting kind of dark. You mean it? Uh-huh. Can you see anything yet? No, not yet. Jimmy! Jimmy, what's happened? Where are you? Jimmy, Jimmy! Oh, Jimmy! Are you hurt? Are you all right? My leg kind of hurts. And it's wet down here. I don't know a big hole, Billy. I'm coming closer. Oh, gee. Listen, Jimmy, I'll run down to Griff Miller as fast as I can. Will you be all right? Yeah, all right. Kind of hurt, won't you? They're going right all hurry. I'll be right back, Jimmy. That's the strangest thing I've ever heard of, Mr. Sutton. Oh, no, Dr. Adams. Not so strange. I run into the same sort of thing quite often. Now, do you suppose we can get the old man to come to terms? Griff Miller? Oh, I'm sure you can. Yes. Pardon me, Mr. Sutton. Someone's just come into the reception room. Certainly. Well, hello, Griff. Well, we were just talking about you. Oh, it was. Oh, excuse me. I didn't know you were busy, Doc. I just came down from the lake to find out how the little meaner boy's getting it all. Oh, he'll be all right, Griff. It's just a sprained ankle and a few bruises. They're nothing serious at all. My colleagues, I'm glad to that. Just to think, Doc, he might have been killed right in my property. Well, don't you worry any longer, Griff Miller. Come into the office. I want you to meet someone here. Oh, yes. Yes. Mr. Sutton, shake hands with Griff Miller. How to do? Mr. Miller, it's a pleasure to meet a wealthy man. A wealthy man? Oh, I get it. Another one of Doc Adams' jokes. On the contrary, Mr. Miller, I'm not joking at all. I'm very serious. Maybe I'd better explain to Griff, Mr. Sutton. Go right ahead, Doctor. Griff, after Jimmy Maynard fell down that hole in the cave up there on your hill, I started wondering what that hole was. Oh, yes. I've been sort of speculating myself. I called Mr. Sutton over from Dunlap. He's the head of the Yellow Jacket Mine Company there, Griff. Yellow Jacket Mine? Oh, yes, I see. That hole in that cave, Griff, is a mineshaft. Mineshaft? Yes. That's a gold mine, Griff, with a very rich range of gold or running in two directions from the bottom of the shaft. You are a rich man. Congratulations. And mine, too, Mr. Miller. Mineshaft, gold. By the way, it seems to me I do recollect my grandpappy talking them out about some gold mine, but I never give it a thought. Rich, Griff Miller rich. And Mr. Sutton wants to make a deal with you, Griff. Deal? Yes. $5,000 cash at Dance Royalty and 10% royalties on everything over there. Five... Five... Can I sit down to spill it up? Sure, Griff. Unless you'd like to go over to the bank and sign the papers right away, Mr. Sutton has to get back to Dunlap. Sign the paper. Oh, yes, that's it. Come on, I'm going to sign it right away. $5,000 jump and jee-horsetail. I wonder if the boy's on a sleep. No, no, I don't think so. Billy's reading. I can hear him. Well, shall we go in? Yes, might as well, I suppose. Come along, doctor. All right. What are you doing, boys? Oh, hello, Mom. I was just reading to Treasure Island to Jimmy. Oh, I see. Well, you boys have some visitors if you don't think it's too late. Visitors? For us? Gee, no, it isn't too late there. Very well. Come in, gentlemen. Oh, Dr. Adams and Griff Miller. Hello. How's the ankle, Jimmy? Much better, thanks, Dr. Adams. Well, Griff has something to say to you boys. Okay. Well, I just want to tell you, gentlemen, that I bought two new flat-bottom row boats yesterday, and these ain't going to have numbers on them. No, all my boats, they all got numbers, of course, but these ain't mine. One of them's called the Billy Maynard and the other one's called the Jimmy Maynard. Well, they belong to you lads. Oh, gee, thanks, Griff. Oh, gosh, that's very old. Oh, don't say, gee, I almost forgot something else. Wait a minute. Here you are, boys. Huh? Well, what are these? Two pieces of paper. Let me see those. Two checks made out on the Cederton State Bank. One to Jimmy Maynard and the other to Billy Maynard. Each for $1,000. Gosh, Griff, that's great. Oh, gosh. I ain't never had no schooling and, well, lo just to be tucked away in the bank to you, lads is ready to go away to college someday. Well, I'll see you down at your automobile. Good night, Ork. Good night, Griff, and thanks a lot. I tell you, I'm overcome. Glenn isn't that lovely. Hmm. Griff Miller's heart is like the bottom of his mine shaft. Two very rich veins of gold running in two directions, out towards others, and into his own soul. This is the family doctor. I'll be in to see you again right soon. Goodbye.
