 It's the Roy Rogers show Great nuts flakes the great two-minute energy cereal brings you the Roy Rogers show Transcribed on the double R bar ranch with Pat Brady and the Queen of the West day 11 In person the King of the Cowboys Roy Rogers, you know being a cowboy you need lots of energy That's why great nuts flakes is the cereal. I like for strength and energy Just two minutes after you eat a big bowl full that whole wheat energy starts going to work for you Try great nuts flakes buckaroos. They're great. Now. Here's our story for tonight. We call it the key Of Pat Brady's many duties about the Eureka cafe The one he is always avoided most dutifully is dish washing but this afternoon Pat is a different man He and Roy are in the kitchen of the restaurant and Pat is beaming over of all things Ain't it a peach? Ain't it a beauty? Ain't it the berries? It looks to me like an automatic dish washing Well sure this darn thing is the neatest little mechanical marvel anyone ever invented Except the Nellabelle of course. Pat give you anything that's run by a motor and you're a happy man My goodness that last customer left in a hurry They didn't take him three minutes to eat his sandwich and drink his coffee. Hey, you're making this cafe fancier every day Dale this automatic dish wash is quite a thing You sure you weren't in on that Zena's bank robbery to get the money for it wasn't terribly expensive Roy And at least I can get Pat to wash the dishes sure can boy this little baby is a drink Come on. Give me that tray of dishes. Oh Pat. You'll wear the machine out This is only one coffee mug and a couple of plates. That's all right. You've got to keep the kitchen spick and span here Let me take Now watch how this thing works Roy. See you just lift this cover and stick the dishes inside And then you then you close the cover turn this knob and press this button But wait a minute. Oh, you don't have to wait this little beauty starts right all There's no stop the thing a minute Pat You can't stop it once it started Roy not without getting soap suds all over the place now Sir once she starts she runs a full cycle soaps scrubs washes rinses and free waters And then blows the dishes by well, how long does that take oh about a half hour? Why Roy? Well, I thought I saw a key or well or something in the bottom of that coffee mug you put in there Pat Okay, oh it must have belonged to that nervous customer the way he was shaking he got a drop it never noticed it Well, if you can't stop that mechanical pearl diver for a half an hour Maybe I'd better right after the stranger and tell him to come back here for the key You can't have more than two minutes start and trigger can surely catch that horse He had tied to hitch and rail We'll catch him in a minute trigger that stranger sure isn't a hurry to get somewhere though Hey, mister, hold up a second. You forgot something How do you like that? He's pulled off the road and heading across the desert. Hey mister He's afraid of us trigger. Look at him big We'll catch him his key probably isn't worth it, but come on stranger Look, you had no reason to pull a gun on me You left the Eureka cafe just a few minutes ago. Didn't you hear yes? I did. What's it to you? I don't own a road after you to tell you that you dropped the key or something in your coffee mug I'll get hold of your nerves. I dropped it. Let me see here The key why it's gone. Well, sure. That's what I've been trying to tell you I had it in a handkerchief in my breast pocket. I must have wiped my forehead You'll just let me have that key, please. I guess you'll have to write back to get it You see it's in the dishwasher and they can't stop the thing until it washes rinses dries and maybe makes a cake or two Stranger I don't think you're kidding. I'll go back with you when you wrote up on me I thought you might be someone else. My name is Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers Well, my apologies Roy. I'm Jim Fowler and I'm a special investigator for the Marshall at Zenin Hear my credentials. Good. There's anything I can do to help you Maybe you could if you don't mind helping an ex-convict. Isn't anything that's ex is your business, Jim You can tell me what you want while we're riding back. Oh, thanks, Rogers Every now and a year and I'll guarantee I'm straight Key is mighty important evidence in the zenith bank robbery and Oh, my nerves are pretty edgy till I get it to my boss when we get the key I'll write in the zenith with you if you like. Oh great Had a hunch that I knew the gang have pulled the robbery Asked the Marshall to put me on the case because I figured I could help square myself with society by catching them That's the kind of talk I like to hear Jim. I got in touch with the gang and found out all I wanted to know They've hidden the money they took in a safe deposit box to very bank they robbed and you might say that I Managed to liberate the key right out of the pockets of the leader. That took nerve feller I couldn't take five men by myself. So I took some evidence. I'm sure Parker's missed the key by now And that's why when you came right after me That's gunfire that's got to be Parker and his gang. I knew I couldn't make it At least we can make shelter and most place off to the right I see what you mean, Rogers over where that big rock seems to be balanced on nothing That's balanced rock and the Lord is a protective ledge where we can at least defend ourselves People in closer Roy it's mighty tough to get a bead on them with all those rocks for cover It's tough for them to get a bead on us, too We can't waste any ammunition though and unless we can figure a way to out with them We're eventually going to have to make a dash for you. We're safe here unless they actually charge us It's better than running smack into their gunfire on the open road. Yeah, this was the only place to go It's a safe place for our horses That's Parker all right, we've got job numbered We'll pick you off eventually you better give up. I'll see if I can scare them up from behind that rock We're in a tough spot Jim. I'll try talking to him. What do you want with us Parker? I don't recognize your voice, but we want the key powers. God. I don't know what you're talking about Roy we'll never get out of here. We move those bullets will catch us easy Jim All right, father. Come on. Give us the key and we'll let you go Otherwise you'll get worse than that. I haven't got the key I left it in the Eureka cafe in Mineral City. No Jim you shouldn't have said that but Roy my friends are back there alone It's only a couple of miles and now I can write it in a hurry Only the other three boys are gonna keep you and your friend hold in there. We find out if you're lying Give me another round boys. Show me Sorry Roy didn't realize I was putting your friends in danger. I mean this thing so deep I just don't know what to do. Well the first thing to do is for us to get out of here Let's draw the fire of the men they left and see how they're grouped. We'll each fire once It's good enough. There are three of them and they're pretty close together just below the ledge. It's protecting us We still can't run for it Roy. Well, not unless we get their attention off of us for a minute. How could we do that? Maybe I can lasso the top of the balanced rock and pull it over if I can jerk it hard enough It'll bounce off this ledge and down where they are But if it falls straight down Roy, it'll smash us. That's a chance. We'll have to take Jim That key means a lot to you, but Pat and Dale mean more to me. Come on. We'll edge your way over How about them how about them how about those great nuts how about them how about them? How about those great nuts flakes? They are so good good for you, too. The two-minute energy works for you So how about how about them? How about great nuts flakes? Yep, how about those great nuts flakes? They can hold hands advice partners tomorrow when you rule out of your bunk Corral a bowl full of that great energy given cereal great nuts flakes Grape nuts flakes are called the great two-minute energy cereal because two minutes after you polish off a bowl full their Power household weed energy starts to go to work for you That's the kind of quick energy you fellers and gals need you'll go for grape nuts flake sugar roasted flavor It's delicious So ask mom to get you a grape nuts flakes the two-minute energy cereal look for Roy's picture on the front of the packet A desperately nervous man drops a key in the Eureka cafe and it ends up in the new dishwasher Roy Rogers rides to tell the stranger what has happened and finds himself ambushed by a gang of heavily armed bank robbers The stranger blurs out the whereabouts of the key and part of the gang goes to mineral city to check his story And now in the Eureka cafe. Yes, what can I do for you? A friend of mine thinks he dropped a key in here. Did you find it? You better have found it Just a minute. I not only don't know what you're talking about, but I don't like the way you talk Lady, we don't know you and we don't care about you. We just want that key I think you'd better leave right now. Yeah, maybe I better have a look around a bit for it. Yeah, you better I'll we'll have a cup of coffee while we're looking start pouring lady I don't have to serve people like you. Oh come on lady. Our friend sherry dropped the key here And we don't mean no harm Well, if you want some coffee and you're willing to pay for it and behave yourselves you can look around I think I know the man you mean he sat at the table over there Hey, remember that key that fella dropped in the coffee cup, Dale? Well, I found a remember to take it out of the machine hat I got so interested in putting new dishes in that I just plum forgot to look for it the two times the machine stuff That's what we're looking for Parker. I'll take that key son. Pat Yeah, you ain't the fellow who dropped it and a friend of mine went out looking for him We know all about that they sent us after the key now hand it over Well sure if you were sent for it here you are I'll take it never mind now. I'll take it. All right Come on. Let's get out of here. I remind the coffee lady. We changed them on Pat Brady of all the idiotic times to burst in here with that key. Well, they I didn't have Why in the world did you just hand it over to them? They all those fellas had guns sticking out all over them just like porcupine quills and a bro and that stranger sent Them back for the key and there's something mighty wrong here Pat Roy would have caught up with that stranger in five minutes and he's been gone almost an hour I'm gonna follow those men. Well, sure Nellie bow follow anybody anywhere And I'm sure not scared of them no matter how many guns they got all what those men heard you clanking up on them in Nellie Bell you wouldn't have a chance. We'll have to follow them on horseback quietly Well, I'd have to go way out to the double our bar ranch to get a horse but by that time it would be too late Well buttermilk's in the stable and bullets there with him You just stay here Pat and play with a dishwasher buttermilk and bullet and I'll find out what's going on Good work Jim you creased one of them that time. Yeah, right, but I'm out of ammunition I am too almost but I'm ready to try to pull balance rock down on our friends You lasso it Roy and I'll pull it down find Jim and I'm glad to see you get hold of those nerves Here goes it's a long throw Roy if you get out where they can see you I can make it I think You did it great your rope loop right over the top They saw me all right sure you want to go out and pull that rock over a sure try let me have the rope It worked right they're running every which way now let's get on our horses quick Jim I know a short cut to mineral city Come here trigger hurry up boy. I guess Dale was mad at me Roy She stomped out of here tossed a saddle on buttermilk and she and bullet headed after them fellas like Sam 60 We've got to figure out what to do next and do it in a hurry. She's been gone about 20 minutes It'll be dark about oh, maybe she's coming back now. That's bullet spark and he's mighty excited. Let's go see Hey bullet all alone Hey that dog acts like he wants us to follow him Roy. He sure does come on trigger We're gonna follow bullet. Is your horse all right Jim sure he isn't fast we can go all day But Roy I haven't got a horse here and Dale wouldn't let me use Nellie Bell Well, I'll let you use Nellie Bell. She could come in mighty handy. Oh wonderful Roy Nellie Bell's been waiting for a chance like this I hope we can catch him in a hurry this year aren't gonna hang around that balanced rock territory If it gets too dark to follow the tracks leave that up to bullet He'll lead us to Dale and then it'll be up to us All right men pull up We'll figure out our next move now. We better get rid of that girl right here. What do you mean get rid of me? I wasn't bothering anyone your men had no right to stop me and hold me Parker I don't know how much you know lady, but I'm sure it's too much. You tried to keep us from getting the key Remember, yeah, and you sure tagged after us in a hurry. We've got to get the zenith I'm not interested in where you're going or what you're up to. I just want to go about my business peaceably Don't you believe her Parker? We run into her and her dog after following his partner got away from us She was plenty interested in knowing whether we've seen you and I that's why we grabbed her. What's this about a dog? Hey, it was a big tough-looking fella, but he ran out on her when he seen we had her I don't know what you're talking about Untie me and let me go. I think we ought to take her along as a hostage Maybe she's working with Fowler and if he chases us, Fowler gets up the nerve to chase us We'll take care of him in a hurry We're on to him now and I say we'll get rid of the girl right here. Then we'd better hurry up It's dark and we got a long ride. I will have to separate and meet at the hideout tomorrow separate Not unless I'm carrying the key. You'll ride red as long as Parker's got the key We're not letting them out of our sight stand here and argue like this. There's no telling who'll come along You let Fowler get away. Maybe he's notified the law already I've always heard that thieves don't trust each other now. I know it. That's enough out of you Get off that horse Red tired of the tree and we'll draw lots to see you finishes are off. My you're certainly a bunch of brave men Come on lady drag her over. She won't go now look Parker you carried the key for an hour You better let me take it Aren't you going to bring boy? What are you mumbling about lady? Never mind if you're gonna tie me here and shoot me Why don't you get it over with sure once around twice around? Three times around tuck in the end of the rope and tie it out There you are. All set Parker. I suppose when we draw a lot you'll cheat on that too. Who you call my cheater? We thought that only get loose. I can wiggle my hand, but I can't reach the knots Oh, we better come to the agreement right here now, but we'll all write in a zina together You're wasting your breath out. You're wasting our time. The girl's tied up. Why don't we get rid of her hand on you? You made it. Oh, I hope you brought Roy Time for another Roy Rogers reminder know how to win yep, buckaroos.

Why don't we go in and shoot it out with them right now, right? There's five of them unless we can get them rattled again. We wouldn't have much of a chance That'll reach his position in a few seconds Meanwhile, I'll try to creep in and untie deal. All right, Roy. I won't start shooting unless it's absolutely necessary. Good boy, Jim Just keep those nerves steady. Good luck, Roy That's generous of you shooting the girls your idea. I still think we ought to take her along for a hostage Dale Everything's gonna be all right when I get you loose drop down and crawl back quietly Do you think we can get out of here before they see us? I don't want to get out of here I want to take those five men there. Are you loose? Are you all right? Yes? Hey, where's that shooting coming from? Off to the right. No splashes. They're moving. There must be five six men They're too far away to get a beat on us. Duck and move back toward the trees right round up the horses Pete. Come on now Why don't you and me try to get away on foot the posse. You'll keep busy with the others. Yeah, maybe that's a good idea We'll see what happens. You'll see what happens. All right Put you away in a hurry They've had this coming for a long time now. Are you double-crosser? Oh, here's another one ready to be tied up miss You've got him in your headlights now come on and get in on this All right, let him go bullets. I'll handle this I got this new right Oh, that's three. I'm not having any trouble with this one. Neither am I We sure are Dale. This gang wasn't so tough once we figured out how to round them up It's a good thing you thought to bring the posse, but they were just in time posse. What do you mean Dale? Well, all that gunfire. Oh, those weren't shots. That was nothing but little old noisy Nellie Bell a backfire It was Roy's idea when bullet led us to where you were Roy sent Pat around to flank the gang and confuse them And it sure worked out fine We've got five mighty quiet bank robbers here right now and when we find which one has the key We'll have all the evidence we need the one they call Parker has the key good Jim Find it and put it in your pocket and this time. Don't drop it. I won't Roy I'm not nearly as shaky anymore. Thanks to you. Well, if the men hadn't stopped to argue about that key I might not have been here to ask you what's so special about it Yeah, you never did get around to tell us what makes that key so important The key opens the safety deposit box where the money that was stolen from the bank and zenith is hidden Jim here is working for the Marshal and Zenith and he was taking it to him as evidence I figured the gang would follow me as soon as they discovered it was gone That's why I was so jittery when I was in your restaurant this afternoon. Well, I'll be turned bank robbers Say Roy we better load these five guys in Nellie Bell and take them back to Mineral City I was thinking they might just as well take them into Zenith sure by Mineral City Pat Well for one thing we left them such a hurry that I forgot to lock up the cafe. Oh Pat I guess you don't have to worry Dale when sheriff drops in for coffee and finds the doors unlock what? He'll sit there till somebody gets back That's just it He's live to get nosing around and playing with that new dishwasher and nobody touches that little beauty But me and you win Pat will go back to Mineral City and let the zenith Marshal pick his prisoners up there But next time will you please at least look at the dishes before you toss them in your new play thing?
