 It's the Roy Rogers Show! Happy Trees! The cereal treat that's fun to eat brings you to the Roy Rogers Show, transcribed on the double R bar ranch with Pat Brady and the Queen of the West, Day 11. Happy Trees! The King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers. Now, before we go on, remember, post-sugar crisp is that swell tasting cereal treat. You can eat three ways. And talking about sugar crisp boys and girls, here's great news. Now you can get wonderful hand puppets of handy dandy and candy, the sugar crisp bears, and a genuine puppet theater all for yourself. So get pencil and paper ready right now, because you'll want to write down the details later on. If you were planning to go into the cattle business, the first thing you'd need would be good foundation stock for your herd. That's why Charles Ryder, new in Paradise Valley, is at the double R bar ranch buying calves from Roy Rogers. Well, this one's a beauty. You'll grow into a magnificent bull. Well, thanks. You've got a mighty good eye for a calf, Mr. Ryder. Well, those two are loaded and reasonably happy. Hey, Roy, that calf ain't for sale, is it? No, Mr. Ryder, just looking him over. I've got to have this calf, Rogers. I'll give you 250. Sorry, but I'm giving him away. Giving him away? Sure. He's our donation to the annual Mineral City calf scramble. What in the world is a calf scramble? Well, a lot of the kids around here are interested in becoming ranchers. Every spring, we line them all up on one side of a big field and turn loose about half as many calves from the other side. Yeah, and any kid who's lucky enough to rope and tie calf gets to keep him. And doggone if it ain't about the liveliest shenanigans you'd ever see. Well, it sounds like fun, all right, but why don't you just donate a call instead of the best bull calf in your herd? Listen, the calves meet a lot of the kids who get them. Some of the stock from the scrambles have gone on to win prizes and fat stock shows. Yeah, and some of them have grown to be grand champion bulls and great producing cows. And if you don't think that raising a winner sets them little sprouts up, boy, you've got another think of coming. You mean to tell me that the youngsters who are lucky enough to get a calf wouldn't be just as happy with any old thing they got? Mr. Rider, they judge them as carefully before the scramble as you're doing now. And getting started with a fine animal has had a hand in making many a fine stockman. Well, Roy, a lot of these youngsters seem to like your calf. I think he's a good one. This is sure fun, isn't it, Dale? He's hard on me, sir. But could you tell me the breeding on this calf? Well, yes, he's by grand champion double R bar Domino Supreme out of Admiral's favorite. He is? Sure. You want to see his pedigree? Mr. if he's by Domino, I know he's pedigree backwards. Are you, Roy Rogers? That's me, and this is my friend, Day 11. Hi. Gosh. Well, I'm Jackie Warnes, and that's the calf I'm going to get. Jackie, almost all of the boys are bigger than you are, and they're not enough calves to go around, you know. Don't worry about me, ma'am. When I set my mind on something, I get it. Well, that's a spirit, Jackie, and good luck to you. Are you new here in Paradise Valley? No, but we live way off in the eastern corner. My dad's dead. I've been taking care of my mom ever since I was five. Why, that's wonderful of you, Jackie. How old are you now? We're eight and a half. All right, you kids. Pay attention now. I want you to get over behind that white line on the other side of the field, and don't none of you cross it until the signal. The first gun shot is for the men to let the calves loose, and the second one is for you kids to do what you can about it. Everybody get ready now, and good luck to all of you. Well, Mr. Rogers, in another two minutes, I'll own that calf. Gee, I hope so, Jackie. Couldn't think of a better owner for him. Remember now, Domino Supreme II. When I come running for you, you wait. So long. So long. Roy, what a wonderful little kid. You bet he is, Dale. Hey, Roy. We're waiting for the calves. Want me to help you take him over? Sure, if you want to, Pat, although he's pretty well-behaved. Boy, he'll kick up his heels plenty when he gets in with them other rampaging doggies. You know, the kid who ropes and ties him was gonna have to be pretty good. You missed it, Pat. There's a youngster named Jackie Warrens who's really got his eye on that calf. Oh, you mean that little sprout has scooted off for the start line just as I came on? Yeah, that's the one. Put him in the chute over there, Roy. Bill, you stick your clitter in next to Roy. Okay, Sheriff. Everything's about sad. It sure is. My Uncle Fred used to have a saying, time and tide wait for no man. And I guess you might say it applies to a calf sample. Yeah, you might say it, but I wouldn't. You know, Sheriff, your Uncle Fred must have been sort of a character. Oh, he was a fine fella. All right, men, everybody got your calves in the chute? Yeah, everything's sad. Now, remember, the first shot's a signal to release the calves. You kids over there! Do you see Jackie? No, the other kids are also big. Wow, what a scramble. Hey, I see him. He spotted our calf and he's heading for him. Sure enough. Why, he's out running those bigger kids. Hey, did you see that loopy through on that calf? Oh, that kid's all right. He sure is. Oh, but he's too small to throw him. Roy, Roy, he's being dragged. What? He is Roy. He's down. He can't handle that calf. I'm going out there. That youngster's in trouble. Hurry, Roy! Hurry! Hey, Jackie. Jack, let go of him, son. Let go. Hello, Mr. Reagan-Handlin. There's one foot. Put your arms straight up. I ain't allowed to have any help. And I don't need any. There's two feet. By Gully, you're doing it. You're tying that calf. Sure. And there's three feet. That's great work, Jackie. Now, let me carry out of here. Nothing doing. Not till the judges tell me this is my calf. Well, I'm one of the judges and I'll guarantee he's yours. Here, let me give you a hand. Oh, that's my arm. Jackie, I'm sorry. What's the matter? Nothing. Only when you touched my hand is like knives sticking in my arm and my shoulder and neck, too. We'll get you to the doctor right away. You had a rough time with this calf, but I think you'll be all right. I got the calf. That's the main thing. Hi there, Dale. Hi, Rogers. Hi, Roy. Hi, Roy. I'll be ready to close up as soon as Mr. Ryder finishes. He's the last customer. Oh, fine. Say I'll have a glass of milk while I'm waiting. How are they going, Mr. Ryder? Fine, Rogers. Just fine. Those calves I sold you growing up all right? I've been so busy just having had a chance to check. Well, I haven't any complaint at all. Here you are, Roy. Thanks, Dale. In fact, it looks like I'm going to get the young bull I really wanted. Which one's that? You know, the one you donated to the calf scramble. I'm going to buy them from the youngster who won them. Oh, little Jackie Warnes? Hey, Roy, we haven't heard anything from the Warnes in about four months. Oh, we haven't at that. In busy or not, we've got to ride out there someday soon and see how they're getting along. Ryder, you mean Jackie's willing to sell that young bull? Well, he isn't willing to, but his mother's talking him into it and the kid's in bad shape. What's that? That army hurt in the calf scramble. It isn't coming around at all. In fact, it can't even use it. Oh, Roy, why didn't Mrs. Warnes let us know? Oh, she should have. We thought he was all right. We'll get out there right away and see what we can do. Oh, she's got a lot of pride, I guess. It hasn't even been near a doctor lately because they can't afford it. Well, that sounds like a job for Lee White. I'm going to call her right this minute. Lee White? Who's she? She's in charge of the mobile clinic. The Easter Seal Society operates in Paradise Valley. Excuse me. Mr. Ryder, I don't know what you offered, Jackie, for that calf, but I'd like to ask you to withdraw the offer until we see what's what. Why coddle the kid, Rogers? The sooner he faces the fact that he's going to be a cripple, the better off he'll be. Well, I don't agree with you at all. Everyone has to face some tough breaks in a lifetime, but everyone has a right to fight back, too. And with an outfit like the Easter Seal Society to help, it's a lot easier. Back to Roy and a Jiffy.

Send for your puppets today. Roy Rogers donates a magnificent herford calf to the annual calf-spamble. Little Jackie Warnes, the smallest youngster participating, wins the calf but is hurt in doing so. And months later, word comes from a far corner of Paradise Valley that Jackie has lost the use of his injured arm. Roy, I hardly know what to try on Jackie next. I'm sure his arm would respond if he'd exercise it correctly, but the therapy is painful. Well, I shouldn't think you'd have any trouble with the kid with as much spunk as Jackie has in this white. I shouldn't think so either, Leigh. Well, he's as game as they come. No, he isn't anymore. After all, he's only nine years old and he's been through a lot of pain and worry. Well, it's just got him down. He's still interested in the calf, isn't he? He's still afraid he's going to have to sell it. His mother thinks it's wrong to accept charity. I've never given up on a youngster yet, but I certainly don't know what to do about Jackie. When are you going to see him again, Leigh? I won't be out there again until Monday. Well, Sir Pat and I will call on Jackie before then. We'll convince him that he's got to do what you say and that he isn't accepting charity. Take a bow, trigger. You take one too, bullet. We haven't got a band to play you off that you're through now. Oh, boy, they're wonderful, Roy. I wish I could clap for them. Never mind about that. Got the targets ready, Pat? Sure thing, Roy. Okay, watch this now, Jackie. Pat's going to throw eight little clay balls in the air at once and I'm going to try to break them all before they come down. Go on. You can't do that. Well, you just watch. Let them go, Pat. Smash every one of them before they hit the ground. How'd you do it? It takes a lot of practice. Boy, it sure does, Jackie. I've been practicing all my life and the most I ever got was seven. I'm sure glad you fellas came out. Practically forgot how much my arm hurts. Jackie, what would you like to be more than anything else in the world? I'd like to be well. We mean after you're well. Never will be. Forget that a minute. Let's say your left arm was just as good as your right arm and you could be anything you wanted. What would it be? Well, the best thing in the whole world would be to be a rancher and a cowboy. Well, a cowboy doesn't get very far unless he can use two guns. Yeah, I guess not. And there isn't any reason why you can't learn to draw from both holsters. Your dog on right there ain't. You just do exactly what Miss White tells you and that left arm's going to be fine. Well... I'll make you a deal, Jackie. You follow Miss White's instructions and forget the idea you're accepting charity. Folks buy Easter Seals to help people like you and it's a pleasure to do it. Hey, you're getting lots of company today, Jack. Oh, golly, it's Mr. Ryder. And then he still wants Domino. And I'll bet you don't have to sell him either. We've talked to your mother and everything's all set. Sure, Mr. Ryder. We've been having a great time. I came to talk to you and your mother again, Jackie. I like you both. I'm going to pay you more for your young bull than he's worth. Well, we've decided he isn't for sale, Mr. Ryder. And your mother won't feel that way when she sees a thousand dollars. A thousand? Well, that bull's worth a good ten thousand Ryder and you know it. Nonsense. Well, how about it, Jackie? Want to go up to the house with me and settle a deal? Nope. Domino's staying right here. Look, kid, I don't want to hurt your feelings. But a hopeless cripple has got to let other people decide things for him. Get off that horse, Ryder. Hey, you! Take your hands off me, Ryder. Are you any socky, Roy? We'll skip that for now, Pat. But, Ryder, I don't ever want to hear you talk to Jackie like that again. You mean you're giving this kid a line of guff that he's going to get well? I said don't talk that way. Ow! You're going to fight back? No. Well, in that case, get on your horse and get out of here. Jackie doesn't want to talk to you and neither does Mrs. Warnes. And the bulls staying right here. You'll find out, Rogers. I've offered as much as I'm going to. But I'm going to own that bull. Good morning, Eureka Cafe. Dale, this is Lee White. Do you have any idea where Roy is? Well, yes. He's right here, Lee. Oh, may I speak to him? It's terribly important. Well, sure. It's Lee White for you, Roy. Oh, it ain't for me. She's awfully excited about something here. Thanks. Hello, Lee. This is Roy. Roy, I've just been out at the Warnes place. I had to drive 10 miles to reach your phone. What's the matter? Jackie's bull is gone. Mrs. Warnes thinks it was stolen. Well, if that bull was stolen, Roy, that's only part of it. Jackie's gone. You mean Jackie's going out looking for the bull? Yes. One of the neighbors saw him early this morning headed in the direction of Sandstone Canyon on foot. Lee, get back to the Warnes just as soon as you can. Dale will join you there. Just don't let Mrs. Warnes sign a paper of any sort for anyone. Pat and I'll see what we can do about finding Jackie. All right, Roy. Roy, what's the matter? For God's sakes, they haven't trouble at the Warnes. Jackie's bull's been stolen. He's headed for Sandstone Canyon to try to find him. He is. I bet I know who done it. I've got the same hunch. Well, Ryder won't have much use for that bull unless he has the pedigree. And he can't get a pedigree without a bill of sale. Roy, Mrs. Warnes was ready to sell that bull a couple of months ago. Well, that was a couple of months ago. You're to meet Lee White at the Warnes just as soon as you can, Dale. See to it that Mrs. Warnes doesn't sign anything. Yeah, and you and me are heading right out to Sandstone Canyon to try to find Jackie, huh? You bet we are. That kid's in no shape to even be in that kind of country, let alone to face a person Ryder. Back to Roy in a minute, but don't forget those sugarcrisp puppets for 35 cents and one sugarcrisp box top, get either handy dandy or candy or all three puppets plus theater for only $1 and three box tops. Send money in box tops to sugarcrisp box 86, 69, Chicago 77, Illinois. And remember, as a cereal, it's dandy for snacks, it's so handy or eat it like candy post-sugarcrisp. There's plenty of fresh tracks, Pat. There's been at least one horse and one young strong foot here in the past 12 hours. The other tracks must be the bull. Come on, let's go. How long ago did Ryder leave, Mrs. Warnes? At least two hours ago. He said if I'd signed the bill of sale, the bandits would let Jackie go. The bandits are something Ryder made up, Mrs. Warnes. Oh, you don't suppose you'll hurt my boy, do you? We'll do our best to find Roy before it's too late. But how will you ever locate him in that sandstone canyon country? A bullet. As soon as Lee saddles a horse, we've got to find Roy. Do you understand? We've got to find Roy. Now quit carrying on, youngster. That bull's mine now. You stole him. You tricked my mother into signing the paper. If I could use my arm, I'd beat you up. Now quit talking that way, youngster. Your arm certainly ain't getting any better. Well, it will get better. Hey, wait. What's that? Two horses coming up the trail. Where? Yeah. Well, it's Roy Rogers and Pat Brady. Now you get what's coming to you, Mr. Ryder. Hit him right into a trap. Now, I'll gag you so you can't warn him away. I'll see. I'll just tie your right arm and right leg to the tree. You certainly aren't going to pick any knots loose with your left hand. You'll let your friends in a real trouble, kid. When they reach here, I'll have the drop on them from behind that big rock. As soon as they throw down their guns, I'll come out and make them back up. I'll back them to the edge of sandstone cliff. It'll crumble and throw them a thousand feet into the canyon below. And if they decide not to back up, well, I got enough bullets in this rifle for Rogers and for Brady and for you. We'll have to dismount and climb the rest of the way, Pat. Hey, Jackie's voice came from right up there. I know it did. I can't understand why he just called twice and then quit. We can't stop to figure it out now. He's in trouble and we've got to get to him. He's just a couple more feet now, Pat. Hey, Roy, there he is. There's Jackie. Tied to the tree and gagged. Come on, Pat. Jackie! Jackie! You're going to be all right, fella. You'll get this gag out of your mouth and get that arm and leg untied. Free free, Rogers. What? You too, Brady. That voice. It's Ryder. Come on. Hands in the air. Hands in the air. I heard Jackie. At least you can talk. Oh, gosh, Roy. Come on, come on. You can't see me, but I got a direct feed on you. I'll shoot in three seconds. Now that's better. Now follow my instructions. Boy, isn't there something we can do? We'll see, Jackie. We'll have to go along with him for now. All right, Ryder. Tell us about it. All right, Rogers. Keep both your hands in the air. Brady, keep one hand up and take the gun out of your right holster with the other. Roy? Go ahead, Pat. Well... Throw it down. Now throw your other gun in the ground. Mr. Ryder's still downing, Roy. And he made Mom sign a bill of sale for him. Don't worry, Jackie. We'll get things straightened out. Now, Brady, keep one hand up and take Rogers' guns away from him. Don't touch the rope in a tip. My next shot won't be just a warning. Now go ahead and throw Rogers' guns down. I'm sorry, Roy. Now start backing up both of you. We'll have to do as he says. He's pretty itchy with that gun. There, you see? It's a simple matter for one man to outsmart two. Now start backing up toward the edge of that cliff. Hey, Roy, don't. That ledge is crumly sandstone. Go on, back up. The minute you stop walking, I'll shoot. What do you think, Roy? Back up, but go slow. You see, this whole thing is going to be an accident. You got too close to the legend it gave way under you. Well, don't forget, Mr. Ryder. I'm seeing the whole thing. I want you to see it. And after you've seen it, I'm going to untie you and throw you down there with him. Let's rush him, Roy. We're too far away, Pat. He'd get either Jackie or us. Keep backing, keep backing. Roy, look at Jackie. What's he doing? He's reaching for something. He's fumbling for our guns. But it's his bum hand. The gun was tied up. Don't stop. Back up, back up. Hey, Roy, the ledge is starting to give. I'll get you, Ryder. Hey, Roy. Jackie shot the gun right out of Ryder's hand. Good boy, Jackie. Come on, Pat. Scram. Never mind your wrist, Ryder. You've got more than that to worry about. All right, get Jackie untied. Quick. Right, Roy? Jackie, how'd you ever fire that gun? That was your bum hand. Well, I had to do it, Pat. I just had to. Hold that kit. You've got two good arms, Ryder, because he's got real courage. And that's something you haven't done. Oh, you sure beat him up. Well, if anyone ever had it coming, he did. You know, I don't see how you did it, Jackie. Boy, you saved our lives. Hey, Roy, that's your drum. Roy, Pat, we've got to go. I'm Charlie Ryder. He made his one-sided bill of sale. Oh, we've already found him, Dale. Yeah, we've found him and stopped him cold. Thanks to Jackie. Jackie, Jackie, what happened? Are you all right? Oh, sure, Miss White. You weren't worried about me, were you? Oh, Jackie. Jackie's one young fellow you aren't going to have to worry about anymore. He really showed us he's got what it takes. Boy, he sure did. You know what he's done with that left arm of hison? With his left arm? Oh, Jackie, are you using it again? Well, sure. Roy told me to do whatever Miss White said. Jackie made a shot with that half-well-left hand that any cowpoke would be proud to make with a perfect right. Folks, the Easter Seal campaign is on right now. Easter Seals make it possible to do wonderful things for crippled children and adults. And your contribution will help. Before we close, remember that post-sugar crisp is the cereal treat that's fun to eat three ways. And boys and girls, don't forget to send away for handy dandy and candy the wonderful sugar crisp puppets we've told you about. You'll have real fun with them. This is Roy Rogers' send to all of you from all of us. Goodbye. Good luck. And may the good Lord take a liken to you.
