 P.O.S.T. P.O.S.T. Post. The serials you like the most brings you the Roy Rogers show starring the king of the cowboys himself, Roy Rogers. It's roundup. Time on the Double-R Bar. So saddle your heart. The Double-R Bar ranch transcribes stories and songs of the real west with the whipper-wills, the wisest trail scout of them all, Jonah Wilde, played by Forrest Lewis, the queen of the west day leavens, and in person, the king of the cowboys, Roy Rogers. Howdy, folks. This is Roy Rogers. Say, yesterday was sure a big day, wasn't it, Buck Rose? You know, one thing I was thankful for is that so many of my friends are taking me at my word. They've had their mom put post serials on the shelf because I told them anything bearing the brand name post is good. So thanks a lot. Well, sir, we've heard rumors that Glenn DeBona and his gang are in Paradise Valley somewhere. And we're waiting for them to make their first move so we can go after them. Not even the law's been able to find us, kid. How'd you get here? Well, what difference does it make? I want to join up with you. We don't take outsiders. My gang's a closed corporation. I could help you, though, Mr. DeBona. I'd be a big help. Ah, you're a green kid. You wouldn't know what to do. Why don't you try me? What? All right. I'll bring back 10,000 cash by tomorrow noon and we'll talk about letting in. 10,000 dollars? Sure. Well, where will I get that much? How do I know? You want to be part of the gang? All right. Earn your place. Now go on, get out. Yeah. Thanks. It's just one thing, kid. My name is Selby. Herb Selby, Mr. DeBona. If you don't come back with the money, the full amount at on time, we'll have to take care of you. It's not safe to have an outsider running loose knowing where we are. Yes, sir. Now get going then. See you at noon tomorrow. He'll hightail it out of this territory so fast nobody will ever see his dust. A green kid, huh, hobo? Yeah. And just to play safe. You better follow him. See that he doesn't get into trouble. Okay, DeBona. If he does, you know what to do. Yeah. You trail hobbler. Keep at his sight. I don't trust him. Hobbler's all for himself, not the gang. What is it? What do you want? No, you're there. What do you want? You're after me, aren't you? If I don't get the money for DeBona, you'll kill me, because I know about the gang. The only thing I was told is to watch you. There's no way for me to raise $10,000. I'd like to get in with DeBona, but I can't get... Look, you talk to him for me. Ask him to be more reasonable. I don't talk to anybody. They just work for DeBona. I've got a gun. I hire it out. Oh. If Glenn DeBona buys it, I do his work. If somebody else does, I do theirs. Then you kill for money. You got a job you want done? A thousand cash. That's nothing to what I have to get for DeBona, but I know where I could get more. And by noon tomorrow only. I don't know how. Now that I'm face-to-face with it, I'm scared. I'll be all right, though, as quick as I have the gang back. I won't be scared then. Where is this dough? Well, there's a hermit. Phil Warner. He lives out on Tomahawk Ridge, a sod house. He was a prospector in his younger days. He's got gold dust and nuggets hidden out there. I know where to find it, and if I could get hold of it, I could join up with DeBona. I hate to do this. Old Phil never harmed anybody, but how else am I going to... Where's the thousand? I can give it to you now. And I won't have to see you again. Well, I can just go out to Phil's place in the morning and dig up the money and give it to Mr. DeBona by noon. Give me the thousand. I'll take care of everything tonight. You feel, Warner? That's right. Wait, now, I didn't say you could come in. Anybody else around? What are you doing with that gun? Are you alone? Somebody else here? I'm alone, but you put that gun down, put it down, I say. A lone horseman leaves the sod house and rides through the night. He turns into a lane, rides toward a ranch house. He's at the double-r-bar ranch. He gets off the horse, knocks on the door. The door opens. Roy Rogers is standing there. Roy, quick, can you help me? I've just killed a man. What's that, Phil? I killed a man. I need help. Jonah? Oh, Jonah, come here. I don't know who he is or why he's coming to my place, but if forces weigh in, I fly open the door. He had a gun in his hand. Before I know what had happened, I'd shot the fella. Hey, hey, what's all the excitement? Somebody see a flying saucer? Phil Warner's killed a man, Jonah, and the sheriff's out somewhere with a posse. What'd you do that for, Phil? Was you mad at him? We'll ride in and leave a note for the sheriff and go on to Phil's place. We'd probably better pick up Dale, too. Roy, should I stay here? You stay right here and get some rest, Phil. We'll see you again when we get back. Easy, buttermilk. We'll leave the horses out and back here where they won't be seen, just in case anybody rides up. Why, these mornings are sure nippy, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, sure was unconsiderate of Phil to shoot a man at this particular time. What's the matter, Jonah? Well, I didn't get more than 10 or 15 minutes sleep all night. Said I didn't get no sleep. Then I got to thinking about how uncomfortable I used to be in the army doing all night sentry duty. I'd be that ratted if I could get to sleep. Come on, Jonah, you're going to stay on that horse all day? No, waiting for orders, that's all. We'll go around to the front door. You'd better forget your army days if that's the way it affects you, Jonah. Yeah, well, I got to worrying about the time I was doing sentry duty and nearly shot Corporal Duffy. Your pal? Yeah, couldn't tell if it was a giant two-legged porcupine coming towards me or an Indian wearing a feather bonnet. All it was was Corporal Duffy. Somebody put glue in his bear grease so when the corporal used the stuff it made his hair stick straight up from all sides. Oh, fine. Yeah, well, we got the glue out, dipped his head in boiling water a few times. Boiling water? Water was plentiful in that locality. But what about Corporal Duffy? Oh, well, he complained a little and his face wetted up as I remember. What's it now? Roy, on the floor. Yeah, still wasn't having any dream when he said he'd killed a man. I've seen this man somewhere before, Roy. Yeah, he's a bad umbra. Wells Hobbler, hobo they called him. Well, what do we better do, Roy? Wait till the sheriff gets here? No, we'll look around and go back and make a report to his office, save him time. Roy, there's somebody outside. Hiya, Selby. Excuse me, I'll be back later. Oh, come on in. How's Selby? Drop in and see what's the matter? There's been some trouble here. Well, Phil's all right, isn't he? Phil's... Look here. Phil says he killed him. He's an outlaw named Wells Hobbler. Well, did the outlaw talk before he died? No, I guess he didn't have a chance. You'd better sit down, Selby. You look all in. Yeah, you're acting like Jerk and Jake did during his nervous fix. There's nothing wrong with me. Well, I guess I better be going. What's your hurry? I only dropped by to see Phil. Well, we'll ride back with you. I'm about finished here. Well, I should be going now. What time is it? It's about 9.30. Oh, I'm late already. I'm certainly glad Phil's all right. It's good of you to look after him, Roy. Well, what's the matter with him? The same as Jerk and Jake having a nervous fit. There won't be any real trouble for Phil, especially since the man he killed is a known outlaw. Roy, Herb Selby is leaving. Hey, Selby, just a minute. We're riding back now, too. Close the door, will you, Jonah? Thanks, Roy, but I'm not going to her town. I'm going the other way. Well, so are we. We're going to try to catch up with the sheriff. Come on, Dale, Jonah. What I mean is I thought I'd stay and wait for Phil. Well, Phil will probably need company when he comes back. Nobody's staying here, Selby. Not until after the sheriff has done his investigation. But, Roy, I don't think I... Come on, mount up. You better ride along with us. What's the matter with him, Roy? Riding behind us this way. Oh, he's a potential deserter, as General Thomas Kenneth Rhodes, say. Selby's in some kind of trouble. It's connected with Phil Warner, but I can't figure how. Those riders back there, they're following us. See, Roy? No, they're not, Selby. Why did anybody be following us? I'm getting out of here. He's making a break for it, Roy. Why, the fellas, there's loonies of Ed Biddle. Let's stay with you. Hey, those armors behind us are trying to get Selby. Let's stop him. Come on, trigger. Oh, the way folks all over the country are going for post-sugar crisp, it's got to be good. You bet. Post-wonderful new serial treat has caused a sensation everywhere. And if you've tried it at your house, you know why. As a serial, it's dandy for snacks. It's so handy. Or eat it like candy. Post-sugar crisp really perks up a breakfast menu. It's so delicious. Just add milk or cream, and it's ready to serve. No sugar needed. It's already sweet. It makes a perfect snack between meals, too, whenever you crave a special treat. And folks love to carry post-sugar crisp right along with them, wherever they go, and eat it like candy right out of the package. It's wholesome wheat for nourishment, and that sugar and honey coating for flavor and quick energy make it a wonderful pickup anytime. Don't just take my word for it. You try it. Get post-sugar crisp in a giant or regular-sized package with the three little bears on the front. Sugar crisp, one of the famous triple wrap post-serials, guaranteed fresh or triple your money back. Dale and Jonah were investigating the shooting at Phil Warner's place. Herb Selby arrived. Selby was nervous, uneasy, and tried to find an excuse for not leaving when the others did. Roy, however, insisted. They rode away together, and now as they approach Selby's home, they discover that they're being followed. Selby loses control of himself. He races ahead. Roy, Dale, and Jonah go after him. Come on, Trigger, take us out of here. The lumber's back there. I'm trying to get Selby. Let's stop. That's how I should hold Army men. Do it, Roy. It's now, but somebody's after him, and they'll be back. I don't know. And I'll take the position of a sniper, but this winter right here, Roy, and I'll be ready for the war at Hoggs if they make another charge. I'll take the other one, Roy. All right. Come on, Selby. Who are they? Roy, a couple of armories just rode up out front. Thanks, Jonah. They're here for you, Selby. It's Dubona's gang. I tried to join up with them, and now I'm in trouble, a lot of trouble. They're sure tough-looking, Armbrace. Must be ex-drill sergeants. This is Glen Dubona's gang you're talking about, huh, Selby? They think I killed Hobo. I was supposed to get $10,000 to Dubona by noon today, and Hobo followed me to see how I got it. Why are you supposed to get money for Dubona? To prove I had nerve enough to be a member of his gang. Okay. Them two out front are from Dubona. She was following us, Roy. I recognize your horses. No, they must be his triggermen come to get me. Roy, could you go to Mr. Dubona and tell him I didn't kill Hobo? Do you know where he is? Yes. Yes, I think so. I know where you could get in touch with him. What about his gang? Oh, they stay close to him. If you was carrying a box or a bundle, Roy, you could make him think it was the money from me, and they'd get you inside. Then you could tell Dubona that Phil Warner killed Hobo. You're really scared, aren't you, Selby? They're after me, Roy, and I didn't kill anybody. You know I didn't. Yeah, one thing about Jerk and Jake. He never whined. Where does Dubona and his gang hang out? Over at the old mill. So that's it. Anybody out in back, Jonah? No, no, no. Not first I can see. Dale, if Jonah and I keep those two umbers busy out front, do you think you can slip out the back and ride on through to town? I can sure try. It's not very far. Well, go to the sheriff's office. Have his deputies spread word that we've located Dubona and are out to take him. The whole town will form a posse, Roy. Watch it now. Have your gun ready, Jonah, just in case. I'll watch for a signal from you, Roy. Yeah. If I had known there was so much fighting outside of the army, I'd have never retired. Watch it now. Big mistake. Hey, come here a minute. I want to talk to you. You're speaking to me? Both of you. Watch on your mind. Some money that was supposed to go to Glenn Dubona. He's your boss, isn't he? Go when you get a chance, Dale. Keepin' coverage, Jonah. Bad situation. Oh, I hope you get through, Roy. I hope you get through. Host of those guns. Yeah, that looks better. Whatever you got, give it to him. Here it is. Get back in here, Roy. Enough that time, Roy. Gun flew right out of his hand. Here, Jonah, catch. All right, mister, we're even now. Neither of us have guns. You're gonna get what's coming. I'm warnin' you, cowboy. Oh, you're warnin' me, huh? Oh! See, I'm slayin' him down. Trigger, come here, fella. Hey, what you want me to do is this, buzzard. I want to call Red. Let him lay. Trigger's bringin' up my rope. We'll tie him both up, then finish our job. Check this knot, Jonah. Yeah, just let me do the tying, Roy. I'll tie him tighter in the handle on a jug. Well, make sure we want both of them when we get back. Yeah. I learned how I want a kind of army cook. You see, we tie him up every time we got a shipment of food and leave him tied until it was all laid up. Figured it was better to eat stuff raw than to let that dishwater walrus cook it. There, how's them knots look? Good. Now, Selby, I want to talk to you. But, Roy, we should be using every minute to get away. What do you know about the killing out at Phil Warner's place? Nothing. I don't know anything about it. I swear I don't. You're lying. You wrote out there this morning. You knew something had happened. You were surprised that it hadn't happened to Phil. No, Roy. No, I'm telling the truth. You thought Phil Warner was the one who had been shot. That's all wrong, Roy. And you came out to take Phil's money. You were gonna buy your way into the bonus gang with money it stole from Phil. No, Roy, no. And why did you want to hang around after the rest of us were gone? I don't know. I... I don't know. All right, come on. We're turning you over to Debona right now. Debona? You told us where he was. Since he wants you, we're taking you to him. No. Give me a chance, Roy. I'll tell the truth. I'll tell everything. Debona had one of his trigger men follow me. I... I made a deal with him. He was hobo. I... I paid him a thousand dollars to kill Phil Warner. You paid to have a man like Phil Warner kill? You don't deserve to live. Tie him up, too, Jonah. Yeah, I will. It's a tie. He'll be here at separate time on doomsday. Make it as fast as you can. Lower snake eye never did see. We'll go meet Dale. And whether she's got her posse along or not, we'll clean out Debona and his whole gang. Look where the posse was heading. They're taking the main trail straight to the old mill. There. There they are, Roy. Up ahead. Che, it looks as though the whole town's in that posse. They were mighty glad recorders. This is a job everybody wants to do, Dale. If you're looking for a wealth of good eating for breakfast, dig into a mountain of gold and crisp post-toasties, the heap-good corn flakes. Say one brimming bowl full of post-toasties and you'll know you've struck breakfast gold because post-toasties are rich in sweet kernel flavor, rich in right out of the oven freshness. Or post-toasties are one of the famous triple-wrap post-serials. Guaranteed fresh or triple your money back. Post-toasties heap-good corn flakes. The best thing that's happened to corn since the Indians discovered it. Heap-good corn flakes. Post-toasties heap-good corn flakes. And remember, post-toasties with sugar and cream are not only heap-good, they're heap-good nourishment. Try them with fresh fruit, too. Boy, oh boy. Just be sure you get post-toasties. The best thing that's happened to corn since the Indians discovered it. Post-toasties heap-good corn flakes. The best thing that's happened to corn since the Indians discovered it. Heap-good corn flakes. Post-toasties heap-good corn flakes. Now this is my party. It's a party I'll really enjoy attending. With Roy and the lead and Dale and Jonah following just behind, the men of Paradise Valley ride down upon the old sawmill. Encircle it, form a ring of horsemen that none of the outlaws will be able to break. This has got to be the end of Debona and his gang. Let's clean this place out. Show these alhoots we do want them around the North Territory. And advance upon the mill, throw open the door, and push on through. Debona's been a trap-like rat. A pussy-pair zinni. Waiting for all their work. There's joy in this fight. Except the outlaws. The outlaws lose some of their confidence, their arrogance. The men of Paradise Valley are on to beat them and beat them. That just about takes care of this, I guess. Yeah, yeah. Well, the only place I ever saw more messed up was a butler's tent. Today he read his watch wrong and blew revelry four hours early. We're not quite finished, though. Where's Debona? I thought I saw him heading for that room in the back when the fight started, Roy. You boys hold these others here. Don't you want some help? Say, Dale, when you see that look in Roy's eyes, he don't want no help, and he don't need no help. Roy lunges at the door to the back room. The door smashes open. All right, Debona. Where are you? Debona's crouching beneath the table. He knows his time has come. Get up. Come on, Debona. Get up. I'm here to take you just by myself. Roy moves closer to the gang leader. You're going to pay for all you've done. Your robberies, your killings, the misery you've caused other people. Debona is on his feet now. Roy lashes out at him. You're going to pay, Debona. Debona is staggering. You're going to pay... Yeah, I guess so, Jonah. We'll take him back to town with the others. There's three more at Herb Shelby's place. Don't forget. We won't forget them. And let's hurry it up. I want to be around men like these any longer, and I have to. I'm glad we had a fair chance at them. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry about one thing, though. See, I'm sorry about one thing. I compared that pole cap to a fellow like Jerk and Jake Gollick. I don't believe we know him, Jonah. Well, the only thing wrong with Jake was that he got nervous so easy. Just like the time General Thomas Kenneth's rogue gave himself a birthday party. Gave himself a party? Why, sure. So the officers would know what day it was and bring presents. See, you don't understand how things are done, Dale. No, you don't. You see, Jerk and Jake run a trading post and the general orders his cake from there. And Jake was to deliver it in person. Mm-hmm. Well, Jake started getting nervous on the way over there. And by the time he walked into the general's quarters where the party was, he got to jerk in something wonderful. And the first thing, the cake fell apart, then the lighted candles spilled all over, 68 of them. Makes quite a picture. Yeah, and the general started for Jake, and Jake jerked right into the general, knocked him back on the sharp enders of a stuffed deer head. Oh, this is getting worse. Poor old Jerk and Jake tried to jerk the general loose, but he jerked the wrong way. And the first thing he'd do, he had to decide, well, to make a long story short, he did some time before the general rode a horse again. And even when he did, he rode with a limp. Jonah, did this really happen? It's the truth, Roy. I say it's the truth. I can show you the old trading post. The general T.K. rode closed up personal after he run Jerk and Jake out of the territory. I'd like to see that old... Oh, no, you don't, Dale. Let's just let this whole matter drop and go in and get our supper. All this fellow is when you let him keep talking. Writers, want to be the envy of your gang?
