 It's the Roy Rogers show The cereal treat that's fun to eat brings you Scribed on the double R bar ranch with Pat Grady and the Queen of the West day 11 In person the king of the cowboys 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-eaten and it's good so many different ways try it real soon Won't you and now here's our story? Great bounties to Paradise Valley, but her moods are not always kindly Sometimes in late winter she spikes with ice and snow and gusty driving winds Then is a good time to be indoors This is a tough one Roy Telephone lines are down all over the valley. We're lucky. We still got legs. I know sheriff I just hope none of those little communities up in the mountains run out of food It's drifting badly up about a thousand feet and the roads won't be passable for weeks You and Pat really needn't have come in tonight Roy We haven't had enough business to keep the proprietor going let alone a waiter. Why shucks We've got the stock all taken care of them. I wanted to show Roy that no little old sleet storm like this could stop Oh, she got us here all right Pat and I guess triggered and bulleted her just as happy in the stables Yes, but are you sure you can get back the sleets changing to snow? Blizzard from the mountains likely to hit down here before midnight cause a few fellas get stuck I can all of the accommodate you down at the jail. I Wouldn't necessarily lock this out, you know, well if you did mean Roy wouldn't even be bothered If we should have to accept the sheriff's offer Roy remind me to take along a can opener I'm glad this place is open nearly frozen to death. Oh you poor man You just sit down. We'll start you out with some hot soup. Yeah, let me help you get your macadamia mittens off stranger This is a miserable night to be out. Hey mister. You better get your horse to show there's a shed right behind the rest I haven't got a horse came down on foot rather on snowshoes on snowshoes from where I'm from the ledge Ledge why that's 20 miles from here. Yeah, 20 miles and darn near straight up Maybe you slid down. I never mind the jokes fella. I came down to save a man's life, but I guess it's too late now Okay, I'm sorry, mister here try this soup. I haven't got a red scent. Well, that's perfectly all right You just order anything in the house and forget about the check say what's this about being too late to save a man's life? Maybe there's something we can do well if anyone is around the ledge without shelter. It is too late Oh, I named smart Bradshaw a trapper my partner And I set our lines in the ledge country this winter Bart Bradshaw Say didn't you team up with Craigie Stevens? Yeah. Yeah, Craig. He's my partner At least the poor fellow was my partner. Hey Craig He's one of the finest fellows that ever set foot in Paradise Valley. What's happened to him? Well a blizzard broken Craig. He was gone from the cabin and finally I went out looking for him Oh, and that storm must really have been raging up there. It was ma'am. I Finally found Craig. He was caught in a bear trap. Oh, hey never mean things and all was much I could do I I was icy numb my mittens were frozen in my hands Oh, I managed to drag Craigie back to the cabin and then I set out for help what you left him in the cabin with A bear trap on his leg was near crazy from the cold Figured I could maybe get down a civilization faster than I could thaw myself out enough to help Craig Bradshaw you should have headed for the county seat. It's ten miles closer the way you I started for there Then I lost my way in the blizzard And then I remembered Craig he's saying that if anything ever happened to him I should let a fellow named Roy Rogers know he lived around Mineral City somewhere to me Mr. Bradshaw, I'm Roy Rogers, and I might have glad you stumbled in here Pat You and I've got to start the ledge right away. We've got to do something for Craig Rogers it's it's too late. Oh, he was alive when you left wasn't he? Yes, but then Pat and I are going Roy. No not in this blizzard the roads aren't open Roy You did start out on snowshoes and buy some freak of luck you happen to make it How would you get Craigie down? He weighs better than 200 pounds. Look Roy and me know this country very well And we ain't afraid of no little old blizzard. Of course. I never thought about getting him down We'll get him down. All right, we've got skis and poles at the ranch We can fix up some sort of a sled in half an hour and don't forget we've got bullet Who's bullet? He's Roy's big dog and if any dog can handle a load like that he can come on Pat Now LeBella's got to get us back to the ranch now and in a hurry. I don't try it Rogers It'll take you a day to find your way up there and that will be too late There's no reason for one life to cost two more non-nonsense It's maybe 12 or 13 miles from the ranch. Well, we've got compasses and we know where we're hidden Well, we ought to reach Craigie shortly after daybreak. Hey, I'm with you Roy. I'm all bundled up And so am I Nellie bell just better start or she will Oh, Roy and Pat be careful. Good luck fellow. Don't try it man. Don't try it. We've got to Brad Shaw You did the best you could for Craigie and we'll do the best we can There are a couple of first-class fellas, but they haven't got a chance of making it heavy Well, of course they have this and I've never seen Roy and Pat miss on anything They've really set their minds to do if they find Craigie Stevens alive I'll bet they have him in the county seat hospital by noon tomorrow the hospital. Maybe that's where I should go I'm frost bitten. I'm half crazy from worry if I can borrow a horse somewhere Maybe I better start out for the county seat right now Well, that's ridiculous if you feel that badly you're in no condition to travel through this storm anymore I should say no You just come down to the jail with me and I'll make you comfortable for the night You see how you are in the morning, and you don't have to worry. I won't lock the cell At least I know where I'm going is both handling the sled. All right Sure we are I'll keep on breaking trail for a while Pat keep your flare high and watch your step When really bites up there you all right bullet boy Boy Roy, I've been colder, but I don't remember when what goes for me to Pat, but we've covered a good eight miles Say here's the compass keep us going as close to 30 degrees north by northeast as you can and be careful It's slippery going along there. Okay. Here. Go We'll make a mile or so this way and then change off again All of anything you can find and hang on to that compass bullet and I can pull you up There I got hold of the ledge No, I'm sure glad you thought of these ropes boy. Look at my flare it dropped in that chasm five hundred feet deep You know where you're going Roy. I guess so Pat unless this compass needles frozen. We're getting close to the ledge country now Yeah, I sure did Bullet did too man that wind is really howlin That isn't the wind Pat those are wolves Oh, Jiminy workers. Hey, I hope they don't come up closer boy My hands are just bump you cold as you they won't bother Pat as long as we stay on her feet And we'll be reaching craggy's cabin soon. Look you can see daybreak on the other side of the feet Back with Roy in two shakes But first right off the front of that post sugarcrisp package here those three famous honey bears handy dandy and candy What's on your mind fellas? You're always thinking about the cereal treat that's fun to eat and no wonder because it's tempting puffed wheat Deliciously candy coated with sugar and honey, but tell the folks how sugarcrisp makes wonderful eating three different ways Sugarcrisp is just sweet enough. You don't need sugar. Correct. Just pour on milk or cream Have a feast for breakfast for snacks. It's so handy sugarcrisp is always ready good every time The best ever a nourishing treat whenever you're hungry and sugarcrisp is well right out of the box Just like candy right again sugarcrisp is wonderful. Anyway gives that quick food energy you need So remember what the three sugarcrisp bears tell you It's dandy for snacks. It's so handy or eat it like candy Sugarcrisp look for genuine post sugarcrisp in the red white and blue package with the three bears on front by sugarcrisp tomorrow Raging blizzard drives down out of the mountains in a paradise valley and out of the biting snowflakes a bearded stranger brings word that a Trapper friend of Roy's has met with a serious accident high in a desolate country called the ledge Roy Pat and bullets set out on the icy night to try to bring craggy Stevens to civilization before it's too late It is early the next morning in the Eureka cafe Say you're open early. Yes. I stayed in the little apartment upstairs last night I didn't want to ride buttermilk through that blizzard. Well, I don't blame you My uncle Fred had a saying take a fit night out for man or beast Yeah, and that certainly was what you might call applicable last night a coffee ready yet Yes, I've been up a couple of hours. I didn't sleep very well worried about Roy, huh about Roy And Pat and bullet too. I know they'll be all right, but even just thinking about setting out in that storm last night How soon do you think we'll hear from them? Sheriff? I don't know. They're in a telephone line open anywhere in the valley and of course making the best possible time They they couldn't get that Stevens fella down to the county seat for noon. How about mr. Bradshaw? Did you get him settled comfortably? Sure? He slept on the couch in my office, but I checked in about a half hour ago and the night deputy said Bradshaw woke up and left a daybreak I couldn't figure out that Bradshaw It seemed upset him terribly when Roy and Pat started out for his partner. Yeah, I guess he was just completely Unnerved by what he went through Hey Look at that guy riding down the street He must have important business to be up this early and out in that weather that petto looks vaguely familiar But the right sheriff wait that rider is Bradshaw. Huh? It certainly is the beard the Mackinac on those red mittens. Of course. It's Bradshaw Right. I didn't get a look at his face, but you can spot them mittens even from here But he didn't have a horse. I think the horse belongs to old mr. Fallon Don't you suppose Bradshaw could have got up early and walk clear out the Fallon's and bought himself that pinto I couldn't very well buy it. He said last night. He didn't have a scent and by golly He must have stolen do you remember last night how all of a sudden Bradshaw was terribly anxious to get to the county seat? Listen, something isn't just right here I'll saddle up buttermilk while you get your horse ready and we'll head for that county seat ourselves Well, Dale, it's terrible weather But of course I couldn't let a horse thief get away no matter if I was sheriff of the North Pole. All right Let's get going somehow. I think Bradshaw might be even worse than a horse thief This path that must be the cabin Craigie and Bradshaw were using I just hope we got here in time I sure do too Pat. Well, there's a chance That's a mighty snug little cabinet and look at the way it's set among those big trees was mighty well protected from the blizzard Well, gosh, yes once you get in the shelter here, you can even make out some snowshoe prints Look, there's a faint set of tracks leading up to the big tree It looks like a man fell and was dragged the rest of the way. That's what it looks like Let's get inside Pat. I'll take the horns off a bullet and carry this first aid stuff You pick up some of those big sticks for a far wood. All right, you are Roy Hey, their woodpile was right over there. These logs must have got scattered from it hair bullet. You're all set boy Come on inside with us. We'll warm up Craigie Craigie, it's Roy Rogers Hey, there he is Roy land on the bunk. Good. We are in time Craigie We'll get you out of here say Pat loosen his mackerel while I work on this bear trap. You bet Hey, that's how rough old-looking trap. It certainly is snapped him right below the knee You're gonna be all right now Craigie. We'll get this darn hood off your head and loosen things up Hey Roy, he's got a real mean bump on his noggin. He's got a real mean gas in his leg too But I don't think any bones are broken. What'd you say Pat his head? It's really bruised I guess maybe he fell against a rock But it looked almost like he was conked with a club or something but Is that you know Craigie? It's Roy Rogers and Pat Brady Roy and Pat How did you bear traps off your leg and we'll have you down at the hospital in a few hours How did it happen Craigie bear trap? I I don't remember the bear trap Don't remember anything except the blizzard and I was almost home and then Everything went black. I'll take it easy Craigie and you can talk later. I'll get the fire going here Patton Get the bandages out. I'm practically ahead of you Roy. I'll be all right. Won't it Roy? Of course you will. I'm glad cuz By tonight going to be rich. Sure. Sure You must have had a real good trap in season. Now you just take it easy Craig Hey, this kindling's nice and dry Now a couple of those big sticks for the fire Pat catch got him Where's party or to go into town and stake a claim stake a claim on what? There's nothing around this country, but fur between you and me It's a fur piece to go to get it too. It is more than fur We've got a whole mountain of Carnotite rock earn a witch rock. Oh Gosh, he's passed out again Roy. Well just as well. He wasn't making sense. He certainly was Pat Carnotite rock is the richest source of uranium ore uranium or what? Uranium you bet and here's something else. It makes sense pretty rotten sense Pat when that Bradshaw fella came in last night. He was wearing bright red mittens, wasn't he? He sure was claimed they were practically frozen on his hands and you picked up this heavy stick of wood right behind the tree Where the print of the body started didn't you yeah, I guess so why there are red woolen threads on it It all ties together now a bruise on craggy's head and everything Roy You mean craggy's partner knocked him over the head Clamp that bear trap on his leg and then left him here to die I think that's exactly what happened Pat And I don't think it took him half as long to come to mental cities He said we're heading down the other side of the slope to the county seat We've got to get there before Bradshaw can stake a claim on this land We'll catch up with Roy in a moment meanwhile listen to handy-dandy and candy the three sugarcrisp bears More appetizing words were never heard sugarcrisp is a honey of a new cereal With a truly different kind of taste sugarcrisp is made of nourishing puffed wheat with a delicious energy rich Sugar and honey coating as a cereal. You just add milk or cream. It's already sweetened and tween meals You'll find sugarcrisp the handiest best taste and snack ever or eat it like candy right out of the box Tomorrow get the genuine post sugarcrisp in the red white and blue package with the three bears on it Lean into those traces boy Craggy you all right, don't worry about me Pat We're making much better time than we did coming up Pat But it's tough going for bullet when it's not downhill I'm doing much good running along back here and helping you push once in a while You can handle the rear of the sledge all right by yourself. Can't you Roy sure I can Pat all right then Help me rig these ropes so as I can get up in front and help bullet pull Pat Brady. You're a great guy Go on. I'm just in good company Golly if we only could have figured some way to get Nellie Bell up here. Oh, she could have got us down a whole lot faster And meanwhile in the county courthouse is the hands of the clock push toward noon Yeah, here we are Bradshaw. I think this is the book of maps. We want yeah Yeah, let me see it and now hold your horses hold your horses. I ain't busy. You got all day to file this claim Yes, of course, but oh here here we are. This is the right map. Let's see now That's the ledge territory. All right Now if we can figure out just what section you're talking about All right, Bradshaw. We caught up with you. Yes, you bet. We did. What are you doing in here? It's none of your business lady or yours either sheriff. My business is upholding the law and you're under arrest Oh, yeah, what is all these are arrest? Maybe you wouldn't mind telling me what for you bet I wouldn't you're a horse thief. Oh, no just a minute We happen to recognize that Pinto you were riding he belongs to Jim Fallon in Mineral City He did belong to Fallon, but I bought him this morning. I suppose you got a bill of sale to prove you bet. I have Here it is Wait a minute How did you happen to have the money to buy a fairly expensive horse when last night? You said you couldn't even afford to pay for a meal. I was upset last night upset cold and tired I'm sorry. I'll be glad to pay for what I ate in your place and Now if you don't mind I get on with my business now the claim line will extend this way clerk Have you seen a little darn these spectacles of mine? What kind of a claim are you filing? That's still none of your business, but Well, it's a mineral rights claim say I remember you know I issued a trapping license to you in another fell last fall Whatever happened to him? Stevens is dead Met with a terrible accident now. Let's get this. He met with a terrible accident all right Brad Shaw But he isn't dead. Yeah, you bet he ate. He's right here. I'll just lean on me craggy You'll be all right craggy. No right Pat. You made it. I don't know how you did it Roy But you're here right when I left you you're I don't know just what happened to me part But I'm glad to see you're down here filing our claim. Yeah. Yeah, of course crag. Yeah, I'm filing our claim All right. Oh, this to be a joint rights claim I thought this was a single ownership mr. Bradshaw now in that case You will have to fill out a different form Bradshaw isn't filling out any forms today Except maybe to sign the blotter at the jail. Oh, no, you don't Rogers your hands will go near those guns Bradshaw because I guess we'll have to clerk but it won't last very long. Hey, let me have a crack at him. Never mind Pat I'll handle it. I don't don't that's my partner, but he was your partner craggy Yeah, he was your partner, but you can do better without half-looking Roy. What's this all about? We thought Bradshaw was a horse thief and we followed him here, but he cleared himself on that count Yeah, it was just fine a mineral rights claim. He was taking a claim to thousands and thousands of dollars worth of uranium or Sure him and craggy found some Carnal witch of more other something or other rocks and this muzzler tried to do craggy in and steal it all for himself He had quite a plan worked out But he didn't time it quite right and he left too many clues behind Roy I guess I'm beginning to understand now, you know when that Bradshaw fellow walked in last night He didn't look quite right to me. I couldn't quite figure him out Well, you're gonna have plenty of time to figure him out now Looks like he'll be your guest for quite some time to come Yes, only he won't be sleeping on your private couch, and he certainly won't be taking his meals in the Eureka cafe Hey, we've got a friend outside. I've heard they feed those Laskin sled dogs on frozen fish, but I think bullet earned himself a steak. You know I could eat a little something myself Just one thing before we close this is Boy Scout week and on their 43rd birthday I want to congratulate the Boy Scouts of America on the wonderful job.
