I'm employed here wildcat old Tom your what I'm employed here That means that means I work here work Oh, no, you couldn't I could when necessity requires and on this occasion, of course, I have my reasons California Carlson hired me Hmm, mr. Cassidy must have given you quite a spanking wildcat. I do believe this is the first time I've ever seen you cry It wasn't the spanking that hurt. You hardly even raised any dust But afterwards he made me eat them donuts. I thought you wanted them Well, I didn't have to make me I believe I see what you mean Um, tell me would you uh, would you care to get revenge or jump revenge? What do you mean? Well make him sorry for his cruelty old friend. I believe I believe I know a way He just sold some cattle now. I'm certain he has the money in the house Don't you think it will be pleasant if we had that money? Oh gosh, could we I think we could It all depends upon you. We'd have to stay here for a while and gain their respect and confidence and Well, that means Yeah Well, that means you'll have to keep on your good behavior If you don't they won't trust us You mean not do anything ordinary? No, not anything Wow, it'll be turbo hard. Mr. Penner. Yeah, I appreciate that old friend But that's all right. If it helps us get even with hop along Cassidy, it'll be dog gone worth it You're uh, penny weather aren't you? Yes, sir. Yes, I am mr. Cassidy I thought so I'm wondering if I didn't see you in town a couple of weeks ago I was looking for you, but couldn't find you in town. I don't hardly see how well never mind that The important thing is I think you're a man. I've been looking for I know you call yourself penny weather, but just between us two Isn't it a fact that your real name is just snider? Gus snider Certainly not. My name is claude can't tell you about penny weather, sir You're sure of course. I'm sure Do I do I look like a man who'd be called Gus snider mr. Cassidy? That's just the point penny weather you do You'd be surprised Well, well my gosh hoppy what you got here I like him do your california. I should say so Pretty a hostage ever seen where'd you get him from lucas over at the pitchforks? He didn't want to sell but I talked him into it. You really like him. Oh, he's a beauty Early life for you though, ain't he? Oh, he isn't for me for a friend of ours Think wildcat might like to send you saddle on the fellow like this. Oh, he'd be crazy for it Hey, you mean uh, you mean you really bought him for wildcat's profit? Sure. He's been a pretty swell kid lately I thought I'd surprised Never seen such a change in a kid in all my born days. Well, why not? He's learned where his friends poor kid's been ticked around so much. He's probably never knew what friends were How about finding him for me? Sure. Thanks. Yeah, I got him in pen weather and the house cleaning it up a little Hey wildcat wildcat surprise for you. Well, you're gonna have a new master old fellow. I think you'll like him Yeah, sure you will. He's a little lively, of course They're gone. They're both gone. Oh Well, look out for the corrals. Maybe they went out there. I don't think we'll find them there either hobby Why not? You know that ten thousand dollars you had in the shape. Yeah, what about it? It's gone hobby The shape's open and the money's gone Now back to hop along Cassidy's adventure with the junior batman Now only a moment since poppy made sure that the money in his face was gone and wildcat and penny weather had vanished Now listen, California, you won't have to go after the sheriff. I'll be waiting for you So make it as fast as you can. What do we need the sheriff for? Can't we go after him and bring back ourselves? But I've got to tell the sheriff before we start. I was responsible for wildcat and he's got a right to know I've let him get away. Yeah, but even so and there's another reason watch out I've been looking for gusts nighter The sheriff thought he might be able to locate an old picture gust for me if he has done they bring it along And go on if I can see why you have to go looking at pictures at a time like this just get going Oh, I'm going. I'm going. All right. I just wish to note it sooner. That's all known What but you was going to turn into such an all-fired slave driver. If I had or never got me the job here Uh, I'd have gone to work Well wildcat pull up now What is it? What's the matter mr. Penny weather? Nothing old champ. I just think we've been far enough for one day. We'll we'll make camp over there Yeah, we'll be reasonably safe here. I believe and I really think we've left him a trail They'll find it difficult to follow. Yeah. Oh here. Here we are Then they're fueled at hand and all quite cozy. Oh, you can give me a hand old champ I'm afraid I'll ride it. Give me quite an appetite. Oh sure. I'll get the fire started. So wait wait wait Come back here What do you want mr. Penny weather? You're looking a bit dispirited old champ Perhaps it would cheer us up to to have a look at the spoils And besides I I'm not at all sure that we made anything like an equitable division Now suppose we'll get yours old champ and I'll get mine and then then Let's not bother with the money now. Let's just eat not interested in money well Well, okay, what what come over your old friend? Oh You don't regret what we've done to you. Oh sure not. It's all right I wanted to do it. Oh I've just been wondering how How old hoppy's been taking it? That's all How good heavens you haven't learned to like the man have you? No, I don't like them, but but what? Not afraid that taking the money hasn't been sufficient revenge. Are you let's not talk about mr. Penny weather Let's just fix Did it What's become of the trail? I don't see it. Oh there they've california They took that side hill and cut back through the gully. That's the way you make it sheriff Yeah, I'll make it that way hoppy now that you pointed it out and I think we're gaining on them hoppy I know we are but old penny weather's a better man on the trail and I gave him credit for He fooled us a couple of times now. No chance. I'll get away though. Not a chance, but let's make sure of it Let's go Okay There's still another camp maiden done for a while cap now. It's time to be on our way again. Oh feel rested enough. Do you Oh sure sure. I feel fine mr. Penny weather. We're fine fine Then the first thing you might do is scatter this fire and cover with sand. Sure All right before we go on now, perhaps I uh, I should explain something. Yeah Now you you may have wondered why uh when we're so hard-pressed we've stayed here as long as we did Couldn't wonder enough in mr. Penny weather. You know what you're doing like yes And I hope I do The fact is we're much closer to capture than I've been willing to admit. Yeah, you know I had my reasons of course the fact is that in spite of our danger I thought it imperative to rest our mouth. Oh sure Now we have only one chance to escape What's that from this point on to ride all out Oh Now you see we've rested our mouth, but it's likely that Cassidy and the others have not Now if they haven't and try to give chase We're certain to escape our horses will naturally outlast theirs Yeah Yeah, I guess they want now on the other hand if they fail to fall into our little trap and Uncontent me to remain on our trail. Well, we're done for Sooner or later, they're bound to come up with us Uh-huh, but we do have a chance though There there's just one thing. What's that mr. Penny weather now once we're in the saddle We must stop for nothing neither one of us now that means of course it if my horse should outrun yours I I mustn't wait for you. Oh sure not mr. Penny weather Why wouldn't want you to No, no, no should you wait for me if your horse is the faster which seems more likely You not being anywhere near as heavy as I am Oh But look, I wasn't thinking of it that way mr. Penny weather Why couldn't you know nonsense? You can and we'll do anything I tell you to but come on now We have to hurry and I think I've I've just seen them topping that ride And remember now's the time ride all out. We Why okay, what is it? I've twisted my ankle mr. Penny weather Here lean on me now. We have to hurry come on. I'm sorry mr. Penny weather I can't do it. I can't watch Could you lift me to the saddle mr. Penny weather? Oh, I'm sorry old chum, but I'm afraid I just couldn't If I were younger of course it would be then you go on. Don't wait for me. You remember what you said Sorry old chum What you said I can't leave you I'm afraid I I'm afraid I was just talking nonsense Yes We've shared the past together old chum So I'm afraid that's the way we'll have to face the future Hoppy any kind of a mea, what's that over there? Hey, I heard somebody hoppy pull up Penny weather come on There's a kid hoppy looks like something's wrong. I noticed that Penny weather what wrong? He's well dead, mr. Cassidy. He paged their Too bad hurt himself. What is it? What happened? All right stick them up. Hey, that means the three of you hurting my ankle won't stop me from shooting none Shut up, mr. Penny weather you get on your horse. Why keep these emberies covered Don't you try and stop them Cassidy that goes for you california and you share Try it and I'll fill you so full of holes. You'll never hold water To hop along Cassidy Why can't wildcat old chum you don't know what you're saying? I know what I'm saying, mr. Penny weather I know exactly Maybe I can't get away, but you're gonna Cassidy or these others think they can stop you. They won't live long enough to be sorry for You'll do to ride the river with wildcat. No, yeah, I appreciate this wildcat old fella, but but it just won't do Why won't it? Well, what would become of you? But we we both are helped ourselves to mr. Cassidy's money, you know, which means we're we're both guilty I might escape, but you'd be certain to go to jail I guess you don't savvy mr. Penny weather. No What is it? I don't Well, I didn't steal nothing What might so mr. Penny weather I didn't take a cent of that money. Oh, I know I should have told you mr. Penny weather, but I Well, I guess I just didn't know how Mr. Cassidy if you go back to the bar 20 you'll find my half the money in that big old bible back there That's where I hid it after mr. Penny weather gave it to me. Where I This this is amazing Cassidy didn't seem such a bad sort of throw after you got to know him. Thank you wildcat Mr. Cassidy I've been an old fool I liked it too But didn't have sense enough to realize it My share of the money is in the saddlebags take it I'm quite prepared to pay for my crime by going To prison Don't see why he should do you sheriff? Oh, I never heard it was the crime for a man to steal his old money Of course it's Steal my old money if you'd admitted you were gustmatter when I asked you you wouldn't have had to steal it I couldn't explain though because I wasn't sure you were got Now I am sure the sheriff found an old picture that proves it I simply don't understand mr. Cassidy. There's nothing much to understand penny weather You're your brother's heir. That's all when the bar 20 took over his ranch after he died It owed the money to you. We wanted to pay you but couldn't find you You shouldn't have changed your name. Oh, well, I hated the other one. So It is amazing mr. Cassidy Sure it is But what I want to know is where'd wildcat come from Who does he belong to? Well Don't rightly know but if it belongs to anyone mr. Cassidy I recommend It belongs to me. Oh I say I say you see I'm only a distant relative, but I'm afraid he had no other See his parents died when he was very young And since then well since then we we kind of making our own way together As well as you've been able to Well, you ought to do better from now on I think wildcat needs some looking after You better settle down. Maybe around here I guess wildcat could even use some schooling. What do you think of it wildcat? You mean about this school and mr. Cassidy? Well, not exactly. I mean about settling down here Oh Oh, that would be fine. There.
