Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice Shot from guns Nice and snappy Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice Make your family breakfast happy Transcribe from out of the west and into your home Riding the range of mystery and adventure Blazing the trail of western story and song Boy willing and the writers of the purple sage That teller of tall tales Gabby Hayes The queen of the west Dale Evans And in person the King of the Cowboys himself Roy Rogers Hello howdy folks this is Roy Rogers For Buckaroos we had a mighty busy week We've been trying to do things for that young boy Who came to stay with us at the double R bar ranch But we also tangled with some really bad cattle wrestlers Gabby I wish you'd tell our friends about those wrestlers Yes what I was going to Roy Say buckaroos you know that young fella Come to stay with us Jack Williams Only we call him Dusty now But he'd rather take a whip him and wash his face Well Dusty ain't near as ordinary as he was I've been sort of gentleing him you know With a little help from Roy of course Well we call this story The mystery of the disappearing trail Tother night over at the Johnny Sparrow's double O ranch Exciting things was in the wind They were moving Todd Keep those cattle moving What do you think we're doing Well they had to be through the pass Loaded on trucks before sun up If Mr. Sparrow finds out his cattle have been rustled And I'm not back to work by the original time tomorrow morning Every suspicious I had something to do with it I thought you said Sparrow wouldn't know about this wrestling Not for two or three days Hey Waltz I thought you said his busted arm would keep him around the double O ranch house It will We can't take unnecessary chances at all We've got to get the cattle through the pass before sun up Then the other boys can take him the rest of the way Hey Art Wait a minute Here he is Here he is I can see him too I had to look up a couple of minutes ago He was just sitting on his horse watching Same as he is now Hey it's whole Leon Mills Sparrow's sidekick If I know Leon he'll hit straight for the ranch house He'll tell Sparrow what's happening Hey Waltz Keep his cattle moving I'll take care of Leon Mills before he can head anywhere Hey foolin They tried to kill me My horse out ran I can't lose those cattle Leon I'll go broke I tell you what I'd do if I was you John I'd get Roy Rogers Roy Rogers Yeah He's the only man in the country who's a match for ending outlaws that ever lived You stay here I'll get him before the wrestlers have too much of a start Roy Rogers will be here in no time He'll fix him That'll be some excitement There's a light in the ranch house though Leon Mills got away when you were chasing him The light's probably only Sparrow with his arm hurting And that's good It means Sparrow hasn't slept much tonight He'll sleep late in the morning The boys can take it easy when they start moving the cattle by truck Of course Somebody's riding up Leon Mills And Roy Rogers is with them Rogers and Dale Evans and Gabby Hayes We'll have to stop them Art If Rogers gets on our trail Yeah we worked out Drake Rogers won't be able to follow the cattle You can't tell about Rogers Wait a minute I know how to stop them without getting into trouble Look back here Until they go into house then we'll fix Rogers What's that Mr. Sparrow's mind that he's beyond Then we'll get after those wrestlers They can't have more than three or four hours start Sure Leon You didn't need to bother Roy on a simple thing Like catching wrestlers You could have come to me private like I'm that champion wrestler Catcher of all times you know What's the matter there Is the champion wrestler Catcher of all times tripping over his fur Pigeons and hot coals Who wouldn't trip Land and iron laying right on the ground Better take it into Mr. Sparrow That thing is made wrong The blacksmith put a bar connecting the two o's And Sparrow's ranch is just a double Well sure enough Happy we've got some wrestlers to catch Remember they won't sit and wait for us While we argue about an old brand and iron Y'all brand and iron car You must have dug off my saddle Come on let's take care of Rogers The way I figure he thinks more of trigger Than anything else in the world Now you're not going to mess with trigger car That horse will pull your head off He won't let anybody get near him unless Rogers says so We won't go near him We're getting on our own horses And then tossing the rope around trigger's neck And dragging him out of here And then Then Rogers gets excited He spends the next few hours looking for trigger And the boys have time to drive the double old cattle Out of the territory Come on Maybe I'd better throw my rope over trigger's head too Mine will be enough This is good You right behind Clutch trigger if he walks Hold it now There I got him Let's ride Have a roof ledge And a six-shutter too Whoa pal We'll give those bombers a taste of their own medicine All right trigger Let's take them Look who we've got here Art Larson, Mr. Sparrow's foreman Yeah, and I met up with this gents He's another Sparrow double old rider The name is Carson Griner Rogers This is all a joke We were just playing a trick on you Horse stealing is never a joke Art What do we do with them Roy? Want me to take them into the sheriff Roy No, I think they've had their lessons And we've got important things to do Dale We ain't letting them go We will for now, but we may be back for them Can't we mush their hair up a little more? Come on, we're hitting the trail Leon said the wrestlers had the cattle headed toward the pass I noticed we're back between those big boulders They were heading this way straight toward the river Let's go back and pick up those cattle tracks again Tails and thunder showers If one thing don't delay as another does Dusty Shore going to be upset Why are you running off this away and not coming back? Right over here is where we saw them Easy fella If they turned off, I don't know why we didn't see it I'll find out Now it would be logical for rustlers to drive cattle in the river And downstream, so we would lose the trail What's it look like Roy? Tracks end right here They end? They gotta lead somewhere Yeah, well, I better get my tray eyes working What about Roy? Right here Tracks come this far and then they quit It's almost as though a line was drawn Hey, that's real odd Now if it was a bird we was trailing I'd say they walked this far And then flapped their wings and flew These are cattle, Pappy, not birds Sure, sure, and I ain't seen any flying cattle in years Hey, doesn't that sound like a truck? The rustlers, they're hauling the cattle in trucks, Roy They know tire tracks here where the cattle disappeared There it is There's the truck And look who's driving Dusty, our Dusty There is Dusty, Roy And that truck belongs to Mr. Sparrow Dusty can't be helping the rustlers Well, there aren't any cattle in the truck anyway Hold on here, let's not jump at conclusions So when he calls Dusty, don't know no better, Roy He was living without outlaw before we got him Hold it now Nobody, not anybody at all Is even going to suggest our Dusty is in with the rustling gang Until he has a chance to explain for himself Come on, let's give him a chance I tell you buckaroos, my heart was in my mouth When I seen Dusty in that truck And they all felt the same way I did But when Roy's your friend, he's your friend Won't believe nothing bad about you until he's real proof No, sir Well, we were facing more excitement than we knowed about And I'll tell you all about it Just as soon as we hold our conference On the breakfast you can put on the table real quick Waiter fucked, wheat and rice Shopped from guns, nice and snappy Quaker, puff, wheat and rice Make your family breakfast happy Hey, what's happening?

Let him think up His own excuses, Gabby What were you doing In this truck, Dusty? Well, I was close to you When you were looking for cattle tracks I was afraid you'd see me So I hopped in the truck And just decided to take a ride Ain't that all, Dusty?

All right, stop where you are Want me to take your gun, Roy? Yeah Dale, will you come here and keep Art covered while I watch the others? Art can tell us where they are You have a neat rustling stunt, Art Spreading those wagon covers on the ground for the cattle to walk over That made their trail disappear fine What'd you do? Walk them into the river on canvas? Yeah They end up streamaways and out of the river on canvas too So nobody'd find their trail on the other side either Not unless you look quite away from the water's edge Too bad we saw that canvas in the truck you were sending back to the ranch That sort of tipped your hand, Art All right, Roy, I drawed their teeth They ain't got any guns now Happy, I think we'll tie their horses together before we take them into town That'd be a good idea Yeah, Dusty, I wish you would You and I ought to have a little talk I'll rope the horses together now, son What about Roy? Well, it's like this I'm not saying you didn't help us today because you did We asked you twice to stay home, though Instead, you came right ahead and risked getting hurt No, I don't suppose you were, but before a fella takes chances He ought to do some thinking about what will happen if he gets hurt You see, son, there's folks who like you And if you're hurt, well, they suffer almost as much as you do yourself And I don't think you want to do that, do you? The rest of my writers think about such things, Dusty They don't take chances, and it isn't just because they're not afraid But they know taking a chance is asking for trouble for everybody Do you understand, Dusty? Hey, but, Rose, Roy is sure learning Dusty what he needs to know But do you want to know who learned Roy to be such a good learner for Dusty? Me? Why say, I spent more time learning Roy to learn than a... But oh, shucks, everybody's gathered around ready to sing Roy, Dale, Foy, Willingham, the writers of Purple Sage We better listen to them while they got a chance I can talk to you most anytime Here's the song And you could sing some roses too Who took the pedal That's all for now, folks This is Roy Rogers saying to all of you, from all of us Goodbye, good luck, and may the good Lord take a liking to you See you next week Don't forget He presents the Roy Rogers show, transcribed, each week at the same hour With the writers of the Purple Sage, Gabby Hayes, Dale Evans And the king of the Cowboys himself, Republic Pictures' great star in person Roy!
