 Jerry of the circus sorry you didn't think I'd miss watching Belko pull a truck with his teeth See you think it can be done. Mr. Randall. Yes, but it remains to be seen whether Belko can do it After all these circles lots of kind of rough. Oh, I see what you mean It'd be lots easier to pull something on wheels over a smooth asphalt road than over dirt or saw this track That's right. Mr. Randall. Yes Jerry. No, I think it was awful swell of you last night to let Kelly keep that cat Oh, no, it wasn't Jerry it was pure selfishness. How do you mean? Well, you see we needed the cat Yeah, but mr. Randall. Jerry, you remember once my telling you that I always do things with the benefit of the circus as a whole Yes, that I never keep animals or people unless they really in some way add to the circus Yes, but well, you see in this case this cat that rags picked up yesterday in Evansville is really needed Or I wouldn't have let Kelly bring it along. You really think that sick cat will help that new get well It might strange of things and that have happened around the circus really, you know I kind of thought Kelly was kidding The first time since her mate died that Maude has paid the slightest attention anything yeah Kelly said she ate some of her supper last night, too Mm-hmm. You see she is beginning to take an interest in something animals are funny things Maybe once you heard that poor kitten crying so loud She kind of figured there was something else suffering more than she you may be right at that Jerry But the important thing is that a very valuable animal may decide to live instead of grieving itself to death Mr. Randall Belko over here I see you now so mr. Randall you want to see the great Belko pull the truck Ha ha ha I do it easy like a snap of the fingers. It's not all right, Belko Whenever you're ready go ahead you got a good wagon or truck for me to pull and some of the men bring the bandwagon up to The back door good This is the band I put in my teeth you don't mean you attach the wagon to the end of those straps Of course, how else would I do it boy? That's something all right come on Belko Let's get started you got some men to start the wagon rolling sure any of these roustabouts here They're almost through putting up the seats, but I thought you dragged it all by yourself Oh, it's I do it, but you just wanted some men to start the wagon sure sure You see Jerry the wagon must be in motion when he starts his trick is to keep it moving all around the ring Oh, I see. Hey you a couple of you men get in this bandwagon at the back door and hang around. I'll need you later This is the wagon All right Of course, it is good And I count three your men push the wagon slow slow Then push it how far you want me to go around the track. Yeah, then I Belko do the rest you hear that man John Jiminy Griggins. This is your excitement. No ready one Look look all right men push Slow and easy. That's right boys. That's a little faster. Good a little bit more not too fast That's right. Now. Now that's about the speed of the parade. Okay, Belko. Can you keep it going? Okay boys lay off He's doing it. He's really pulling that wagon all right Belko right on around the track if you can do it You're really thinking take it all the way around. Well, I hope so Jerry It'll be a grand trick if you can do it boy. I'll say Doesn't seem to be losing any momentum. I mean they wagons still going the same speed. Yeah See maybe you can do some of those other stunts. He was bragging about like playing basketball with the major No, I mean swinging a trunk around and just holding it with his teeth. Well, we'll find out soon enough this morning Yeah, see that rope hanging down over the center ring. Yeah Well, he claims he can hang on to that with one arm hold the trunk with the strap attached to his teeth and Swing the thing around while we raise him to the top of the tent and down again boy It doesn't seem possible. Hey, looky. He's more than halfway around. Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't seem to slow down yet Looks like he can do what he claims he can say I got a swell idea Well, let's have a Jerry we can always use a good one Well now look at if he can drag that heavy bandwagon around well Why couldn't he haul a lighter wagon with some lions in it, huh? It's not a bad idea. Yeah, say it's a natural Believe you've hit on something Jerry. Oh here it comes. Oh nice work. Oh That's right. Keep going till you get off the back door. That's marvelous. Belko honest. I didn't think you could do it Okay, that's far enough You see what a strong guy I am Well, Belko, I'm sold if you can do that twice a day you can go on anytime of course I do it three times a day four times Belko has great strength nothing bothers Belko and Jerry here has made a suggestion Belko sounds pretty good to me Now, let's see what you think of it. Oh, what is it? If I should give you one of the lighter wagons to drag around You will not hear the Belko complain about this bargain. Did you know? No, but wait until I finish Suppose we use a lighter wagon and put a couple of lions in it I think you could haul a couple of roaring lions along Ah good Good, I like that king of man. He leads king of the jungle with his teeth alone So Jerry you're smart, huh? All right. I just thought it'd be kind of exciting You want to try out the trunk turn now or wait, maybe you're too tired Belko just get in practice taking that wagon for a ride All right, I've had a trunk placed over there in the center ring Sam put a couple of men on that pulley in the middle ring You sure it's safe for the men to pull you up to the top of the tent or Belko it is easy like rolling up along For years I do it five times. All right. You're the doctor. The rope has been tested. So there's no risk there See I use the same strut for this. I think it pull your teeth right out of your head You most men yeah, but not the great Belko Belko you better lift that trunk first. It's a heavy one It is nothing good night. He lifted that like I pick up a small suitcase Sure Belko super mile. Well, whenever you're ready. We're ready. Good. Good. Now. First I drop this Then I lift the trunk slowly off the ground. I circle slowly And then faster the trunk will go out in the air Yeah, then I grab the rope with one hand then you give a command Have the man lift me to the top of the tent and down not too fast on the strand Yeah, yeah, as soon as you grab the rope, I'll get the signal to the man to pull. I look I'll pull it now about this fast I get ready now. All right men stand by and and raise that rope just this speed as soon as Belko gets a good hold of it You can count on me boss. All right. There he goes. The trunks leave on the ground. All right. It's flying right out in the air as he swings on Steady boys. There. All right. As soon as he gets a good hold. Good. All right. Pull it up. Slow. Slow. That's right steady. He's still twisting around in a circle. Seems like he's going faster and faster. Yeah. Wait, look how red his face is getting and his neck. Say Mr. Randall. Well, it looks like those muscles are burnt. It's remarkable what the body can stand in the jury. Mr. Randall here. Just a minute. I'll be with you. I got to talk to you, Mr. Randall. Well, not now. Wait till this man comes down. I'm from the Allendale police force. All right. All right. Just wait till this man is through. Golly. Say he's hanging on to that trunk with his teeth. Yeah. Isn't it wonderful? Yeah. I wish my old lady could see this. She'll never believe me if I tell her. Imagine hanging on to that thing with his jaws. There he comes down now. Say he's like a human bulldog. Yeah. He did it. Mr. Randall. He did it. Yes. It's one of the best stunts I've seen in a long time. Okay, Belko. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Randall, but I got to see you right away. All right. All right. Belko, that's great. We'll talk about this later. Drop by my office wagon after lunch. Yeah. The great Belko will come. All right. He doesn't like himself much. I'll tell you, Jerry, a man who can do things like that should be allowed to brag. I'll say. I sure wish my old lady could have seen that. Yeah. Well, now, what can I do for you, Mr. Shaggs? The name that you sent me out with his note said to be sure you read it and get an answer right away. Oh, I see. Oh, that's bad. Anything serious, Mr. Randall? Well, I hope not, Jerry. Well, I'll have to see Jim Bennett about this. The chief said to be sure you sent word back to him. Oh, yeah. Of course. Well, I'll tell you, Shaggs. Tell him if he'll send a man around here this afternoon, I'll have a report ready for him. Right now, I have the information. Sure, sure thing. I'll tell him. Say, you got a pretty good show here. Best you honor. Well, at least we think so. I sure like for my old lady to see what I just seen. Sure enough, if I tell her, she'd say it was a whopper. Well, I guess we can't have that, can we? Suppose you bring her around tonight. I'll have a couple of seats put aside for you. You will? Well, say, that's great. You can just bet me and the old lady you'll be there. Well, I hope you enjoy the show. You bet we will. Well, okay, Mr. Randall, I'll give the chief your message, and I'm sure he'll send a man out this afternoon. All right. Goodbye. Goodbye. Well, that's that. Say, I hope it's nothing bad. So do I. That policeman was kind of hinting for those passes. Yeah, funny how folks would rather get things free. He sure was pleased, though. Well, I hope he and the old lady enjoy the show. I guess there's not much danger there. You're a mighty good booster, Jerry. Well, it's the best show in the world. Who wouldn't be? You know, Jerry, between you and me, I think you're right. Now, I've got to see Jim Bennett, and I thought we'd moved away from where they were passing that counterfeit. What? More phony money? Not so loud. I don't want this thing to get around. As long as you heard about Fordham, you may as well know that yesterday a lot of counterfeit was passed in Evansville. Good night. Yeah. So Jim will have to check through with the bank and see how he came out. I'll say that's tough. I'll say it is. Whoever's doing this thing is certainly going hog wild with it. I can see we'll have to watch that ticket wagon pretty close from now on. I should think so. But we're almost 60 miles away from Evansville now. Yes, but at Evansville, we were 92 miles from Fordham, and, you know, there you are. Say, they must be spreading this phony money all over the country. Well, I've got to see Bennett. Jerry, run over to the ticket wagon and tell Bennett to be in my office wagon in 10 minutes. You bet, Mr. Randall.
