 Now for the adventures of Lightning Jim. Behind the small jail in the frontier town of Fort Anderson, a man crouches in the shadows under a barred window off a jail. Pete, where'd you come from? I believe. Hurt you in jail? Figured you might want some help. Yeah, sure do. What are you doing in here for? Smuggling guns to the Redskins. They cut me red-handed. The troopers? No, it was that blame, Marsha. Lightning Jim. Lightning Jim, man. Yeah, soon as I get out of this jail, I'm aiming to get back at him pronto. Watch your step. He's the toughest bald man you'll ever play with. Yeah, I know. Give me a gun. Sure, here he is. Good. I'll be out of here in the jiffy. I'll meet you off the 4th trail by Snake Creek. What's trouble, Whitey? You know that fella, you cut smuggling guns to the Redskins. You mean Kansas, Joe? Yeah, that's the Jigger. What about it? He's broke out the jail. Broke out of jail? He's the one who must've slipped him a gun. He held up the garden that we... When this happened? About an hour ago. Come on, Whitey, we've got work to do. Let's go thunder. Yes, the bandits and outlaws of the Old Western Frontier both feared and respected the skill and courage of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson. Through their thrilling adventures, we relived the colorful days of the Old West when desperadoes and hostile Indians roamed the Great American Plains. Kansas, Joe, was a bandit who divided his time between robbing stagecoaches and smuggling guns to the Indians. He was arrested by Lightning Jim and then with the aid of his partner, a bandit named Pete, he escaped from the jail in Fort Anderson. We join the Marshal and his deputy now on the trail north of Snake Creek. See, Lightning, never makes you think those Jiggers was heading this way. Just a hunch, Whitey. Deep Wolfpaw and his tribe are somewhere north of here, near Cottonwood Gulch. Your Wolfpaw's been giving the troopers plenty trouble, I know that. Yeah, been trying to stir up the other tribes to attack and rob the white men. Yeah, seems like Wolfpaw's always looking for a fight. See, what's this got to do with Kansas' Joe, though? Well, Wolfpaw's been getting his guns and firewater from Kansas' Joe. He was taking guns up to him when I caught him. Oh, yeah? So I figured that maybe Joe would head for Wolfpaw's camp to hide out. Yeah, I can follow that, all right. But see, you can just walk into Wolfpaw's camp and run in his shift hand over Joe. No, we ain't gonna do that, but we can do a little scouting until the locate Wolfpaw's camp. Maybe find out Joe's around there. Yeah, and then we can get the troopers and lick the whole bunch. Whitey sounds like you ageing for a fight. Yeah, I just want to get my hands on that Kansas' Joe. Well, he ain't got the nerve to do his own fighting. He sells firewater and guns to the Redskins, and then he lets them do all the dirty work. Well, Thunder, hold on, Whitey. Chopper, Jiminy, that's also like a better. Yeah. Leave the Redskins to attack and the troopers. Well, we'll soon find out. Come on, Whitey. You wanted a fight. Go, Thunder. Party, Captain. Howdy, Lighteners. We're here to shoot and come over to help you out. I'm afraid you're a little late, boys. Who are they, Captain? Party of Chief Wolfpaw's Redskins. Wolfpaw, eh? Yeah, we were heading back to Fort Anderson. He stopped to make a camp. Without warning, they opened fire on us from all sides. How many were they? About 50, I'd say. We caught 10 of them, and I don't know yet how many of them were killed. Yeah. The rest headed north. Thank you, Gally. That sounds like you had pretty good fire. Yeah, it was funny hot when it lasted. I'm not sure whether we surprised them or they surprised us. Well, I think it was the hunting party. They had a young Indian boy with them. Well, if he had a boy with them, it wouldn't be a war party. What happened to the boy? Well, we haven't had time to check up on the wounded yet. So I don't know if he was shot or got away. Well, I'm hoping he got the way. I don't mind shooting at men, but not the kids, even if they are Redskins. Well, that's the fortune of war. If those Red Devils had any sense, there wouldn't be any killing. But you can't trust them know-how. Well, Captain, there's good Indians and bad ones. Same as there is among the white folks. You know that. Yes, I know. But as far as I'm concerned, they're all bad. They come to our forts and smoke their peace pipes, tell us they want to be our friends. Then the next day, they attack the troopers and put on a scalping party. Yeah. By the way, what are you doing up here? They're trailing the chapel in the name of Kansas Joe. I caught him smuggling guns to Chief Wolffork. Any white man who smuggles guns to the Redskins ought to be shot on the spot. I agree with you, Captain. But the law says they've got to be given a fair trial. Well, Kansas Joe escaped from jail at Fort Anderson, and Whitey and me is after him. Well, if you catch up with him, I hope you don't bring him back alive. Here, come along when you're dead, Pete. Yeah. Got a hold of some guns at Aveline, and I know you could get rid of them to the Redskins. Sure. I've been selling guns and fire-water to Chief Wolffork. Doing right well out of two. That Lightning Jim caught up with me blasted his hide. I've heard a lot about Lightning Jim, but I ain't never seen him. They say he's lightning fast on the draw. Yeah, there ain't a man on the plane who can handle shooting eyes like he can. But like I told you, I'm aiming to get even with him one of these days. Oh, you're going to do that, Joe. Well, I ain't figured that out yet, but I will. Well, take my advice and steer clear of them. No use to play with dynamite. How far is Chief Wolffork's camp from here? All about 10 miles north. Better cross over this creek here. Whoa, what's the matter? Keep quiet. Look over yonder across the creek. Two riders coming out of them trees. Yeah, I wonder who they are. Jumpin', Judas. It's Lightning Jim and his deputy. I don't see them, are you sure? Yeah, it's him all right. We better clear out of here. No, no, no, they hear us. They can't see us if we stay behind these trees and rocks. We can't drill a hole. No, no, no. We're out of range for safe shooting. We're going to watch. Woo, boy, woo, thunder. You think we better cross over here, Lightning? Well, might be a good idea, buddy. Water in the creek looks shallow here. Hey, it's all deep in the bushes. Reach for the sky whoever you are. Come out of them bushes with your hands in the air. Quick! Not you watch them. Don't kill the white man. Make calm. Jumpin', in minute. That's Indian, boy. Yeah. Little bear wounded, white man. Help little bear. All right, son. Put your hands down. We ain't going to hurt you. Right, Gally, Lightning, his arm is bleeding. Yeah. White soldiers, shoot little bear. What's she got? Me, Lightning, bushes. See, Lightning, maybe he's the Indian boy captain. Flag was telling us about it. Yeah, but first, we've got to take care of this boy's arm. Why don't you get some water and pick up a fire quick? Put it in a fire. Yeah. I know that Indian boy, too. You know who? Sure. I've seen him up at Chief Wolf Boy's camp. His name is Little Bear. Let's get out of here, Pronto. Yeah. I got an idea, Pete. You mind my saying I was aiming to get even with Lightning Jim? Yeah. Well, this is going to be my chance. What are you going to do? I'll tell you later. Come on, let's go. There you are, little bear. Your arm's all fixed up now. Little bear, stand, white man. Listen, son, did you say you were shot by the white soldiers? We'd go with brave men and braves to hunt. Yeah? Keep going. We'd fight soldiers, big fights. Little bear, get full of Aaron's arm. He or the captain was right. Those redskins was hunting by garlic. Yeah. Little bear, tired. Sleep now, so tired. That's right. You get a little rest, son. You'll be all right. Poor little fella, he's so tuckered off. Yeah. See, whitey, notice anything peculiar about this land? Epicurea? Yeah, you've seen lots of Indian boys, haven't you? Oh, sure. Take a good look at him. Tell me what you think. See, I was so busy I didn't have time to notice much. But now I take a good look. He ain't got high cheekbones. That's right. And his skin looks pretty fair for us. Right again. And he talks pretty good English, too. Yeah, almost as good as yours, whitey. Oh, is that so? Well, nobody can see my English ain't no good. Well, the only difference is he talks English with an Indian accent and yours is Swedish. Say, whitey, this boy's a white boy. He may have some Indian blood in him, but he's mostly white. Yeah, but then what's he doing in a chief wolf post camp? No, that's something we've got to find out. Kida. Ah, Chief. Ah, Garnage. We hear you. Chief will fall. No, see, Kansas Joe, long time. Yeah, I've been in jail, Chief. Jail? Where? Fort Anderson. Why you going jail? Well, I was bringing you some more guns, but lighten and Jim, the marsh, he'll caught me. Me, Casa. Who this white man you bring wolf bar camp? Ah, come here, Pete. Chief, this is my partner, his name's Pete. How did you? Ah, for Kida. You got many gun on horse? Yeah, Pete got him an avalanche. It was him who got me out of jail. Ah, Shahi. Good. Wolf bar need gun. White soldier, white soldier fight wolf bar brave. Kill some, take some prisoner. When did this happen, Chief? Today. Brave go for a hunt, meet soldier. Was a little bear with you brave, Chief? Wa shinka, igashinka. Little bear go with brave. Little bear no come back. Maybe soldier take back to Fort. No, the trooper didn't get him, Chief. How you know? Me and Pete saw him. Igashinka, you see little bear? Yeah. He was captured by two white men. Where little bear now? Down on Snake Creek, just this side of Alarock. You can catch him if you hurry. Wolf bar go find little bear now. Here, white man. Wa shinka, igashinka, igashinka. Pretty slick idea you had, Joe. Yeah. What are you going to do? Stay here till they get back and see the fun. The way wolf bar feels now, he's going to make a plenty hot for lightning, Jim. Oh, you want some more bacon, isn't it, little bear? Mr. Bear, keep wolf here on stomach. He'll bet you now. Where there's plenty to eat if you want it, white guy. I think little bear's done right well, Whitey. He knows when to quit eating. That's more than I can say about you. Oh, you're just jealous, that sort. Why do you eat funny rolls, big fat like Indian squash? Oh, is that so? He's got your number, Whitey. Little bear like Whitey much. Oh, I see. And I like you too, little bear. But you make funny faces, make little bear laugh. Oh, that's what I think. I guess that'll hold you, Whitey. All right. And here I thought you was going to be my friend, little bear. You want to be friend of Whitey. Well, then don't say I got the funny face. Personally, I think that's a mighty good face. Me too. By the way, little bear, is Chief Wolfpaw your father? Carnegie, he thinks so. Did you ever live with white men? Live with white men? Yeah. No. Live with white paw and brave. Carnegie. What's the matter, little bear? Indians behind trees. You've been evening like this. This red skin's all around us. Don't move. Keep calm and let me do the talking. I got him off. But Wolfpaw, come for me. Take it easy, son. How, Chief Wolfpaw? I got him off. White man, no move. Many Wolfpaw braves behind trees. Ready, kill White man. Hold on, Chief. We're friends. White man, not friend, Wolfpaw. White man, kill Wolfpaw brave. Hurt, little bear. Wolfpaw, take you back to camp. Wolfpaw, show White man what Indians do to enemies. What is Chief Wolfpaw planning to do with Lightning Jim and Whitey? The exciting climax of this thrilling adventure will come in part two, which we'll follow immediately. Lightning Jim meets little bear. Kansas Joe, an outlaw and Indian gun smuggler, escaped from the jail at Fort Anderson, aided by his partner, a bandit named Pete. They head north for the camp of the Renegade Indian Chief Wolfpaw, followed by United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy Whitey Larson. On the trail, Lightning Jim and Whitey find an Indian boy who had been wounded in a fight between some of Wolfpaw's braves and the troopers. Joe and Pete see Lightning and Whitey with the Indian boy and rush to tell Chief Wolfpaw, who brings back a party of Indians and captures the Marshal and his deputy. We join Lightning and Whitey in a TP at the Indian camp, where they await their fate. Well, Lightning seems like we don't have to look for Chief Wolfpaw's camp anymore. Yeah, we found the camp, all right. We've got to do some fast things and get out of this mess. You are that Wolfpaw Jager's plenty man. Well, this is what we get to win good to that little Indian boy, Litterberg. Well, we did it and that's that. Well, see, Lightning, what you think I'm going to do? That's hard to say, Whitey. Red skin like Wolfpaw, I do almost anything. Might burn us at the stake. Oh, Lightning, don't talk like that. I like steaks, but I don't want to be one. Well, then you get your thinking, Captain. Joe, if we could only figure some way to slip out there. Let's stop dancing. Joe, see, there's a hole on this side of the teeth. Where? Let me see. Yeah, there. It ain't big, but you can see through it. Yeah. Chief's talking to a couple of white men. Eh, white men? Yeah. I'm duration, but it's over. One of them white men's, Kansas Joe. Kansas Joe? Yep. It's him all right. Let me see there. Then, Carpe Dog, what do you know about that? Looks like my hunch was right, Whitey. Joe came up here to hide out. Oh, that's all. And if he has any influence with the Chief, we've got plenty to worry about. Listen, Chief, I'm telling you. These two white men you got are the ones that put the troopers up to fighting your braves. They're lower badges. They'd put you in jail, too, if they could. Ah, Chief Wolfbar. No go, white man jail. Then you better get rid of them now. Yeah, burn them up to space. But, Cassie, no, no. White men help Little Bear. He's lying to you, Chief. We've seen the Marshal and his deputy capture the boy. No, no. Magazinga, Little Bear whole tongue. Yeah. Him embrace was going to take Little Bear to jail, Chief. How you know? Well, we heard him say so. Didn't we, Chief? Oh, and to see white men die. Magazinga, we want to go. Little Bear, go tipy now. We know what to do with White men. You know what to do with them, Chief. Burn them. Conege, we he shaved. Wolfbar have other plans. Yeah? Send Raven to Fort. Tell soldier Wolfpaw free to white men if soldier free Wolfpaw brave. Oh, but you can't let these two Jesuits go free. They'll get more troops to come back and fight you. No, Pa, what's up? Wolfpaw not brave soldier. If brave not go free, Wolfpaw kill two white men here. Yee-di-ocker! Listen, y'all, if the troopers agree to exchange our prisoners, Lighten him a gold tree and he'll be after us pronto. Yeah, but before that happens, we'll find a chance to drill the law badges ourselves. You see, if you spoke to one of the red sheep, it's the bear outside. Is that you, little bear? Oh, it's me. You open him, mini. What did the chief say, little bear? Yes, and Raven to Fort. Tell soldier Wolfpaw you're brave to go free. Yeah? Little bear, go now. Come back soon. I won't. Hey, if you eat the nevermind, buddy, just go on. You think the troopers will let them eat, can't go free? No, it depends on whether Captain Flagg believe as we've been captured by Wolfpaw. Yeah, and what if they, Captain, don't believe it? I'll let you answer that, Wolfpawdy. Yeah, I know they're going, but we'll be looking for a new marshal and a new deputy. Again, Indian? Captain Flagg, two white marshal at Wolfpaw camp. You mean to say Wolfpaw is holding them prisoners? Uh, chief-free white men, soldiers, free brave. Ah, so Wolfpaw thinks he can trick us, eh? When I listen, you'll go back and tell him I don't believe he's captured Lightning Jim. Lightning Jim, this is me. Yeah, I reckon Joe and Chief brought him fire water. Yeah, I wonder what happened to Lisa there. He said he must call me back. Yeah, I think he will do. He kind of likes her. See, she listened. Wait a minute. Think about it. What is it, son? I mean, Prince, money's fire water. Money drunk. Yeah. Let's go back. Tell him he's outside. He's busy. She wants to see him. That's good. He told her that he was guarding us to go see the chief. Good boy. What was that? I don't know. I don't know. What was that? A white man crossing down the water. There's a big white rock. You go now. I'll show you that. If I give him any money, he can get out there. Yeah. The little bear's cleared the way. Come on, buddy. Maybe that's it, eh? Yes. Down, buddy. Someone's coming. Yes, big one. Give me that. Was a close one. Oh, he got too much firewood. Yeah. Come on, buddy. There's the horses. Yeah. Yeah. They know we are gone. Yeah, that means we ain't got a second to lose. Two white men got away, chief? Yeah. White men leave Teepee, get a horse. Wolfpaw catch white men and kill. He's up! He's up! Up, he's he's he's up! We better get out of here. Chief, why are you blaming this on us? Yeah, he's plenty mad. We can't, Teepee. We go now. He'll think, sure, we did it. I sure wouldn't want to be in a white and kinship. Ha, ha, ha. If Everett can catch up with him, it's the end of them law badges. All right. Thanks. Or do you think you can even with him? I wonder how they got away. Put that gun down. Indian boy. He's got a right. White men put up hands or little bears put potatoes. Listen to them yeet this year. Yeah, we better head around this canyon. You all see, might get trapped down there. Like candy like this. Look, let's come in over that ridge. It's a trooper. Come on, Wally. Let's meet him. Up, thunder. Up, thunder. Whoa, whoa, whoa, boy. Captain, how many men you got? Well, there's a hundred red kids. Oh, yes. Coming over that ridge. Yes, sir. That's all right. We're on high ground. Let's come up to us. They want to fight. We'll see. Here, they come now. But I give the word to fire. Fire. Was that enough for one day? Now that that smoke has cleared away, maybe you can tell me what happened. Captain, do you remember telling me in Whitey that you saw an Indian boy with that party of red skins or you met yesterday? Yes. Well, we found that boy over on Snake Creek. He was wounded in the arm and we fixed him up. What is that, sir? Yeah, and then a trouble started. How's that? Chief Wolfpaw and his men found us and took us back to the camp. So Wolfpaw figured he could bargain with us to get back the red skins. We're holding at the fort. That's right. Did the messenger come? Sure, but I didn't believe him at first. Not until he pulled out your marshal's badge. Then I figured he was talking straight and started up here with my men. But how did you escape? Indian boy helped us do that. Oh, I tell you, if it hadn't been for Little Bear, we'd still be up there in the red skin. You opinion? Bye, son. Why, it's Little Bear. Your head and little crew, he brought his, Kansas sure that other Yeager might got it. See, the kid is holding a rifle on both of them poor cats. Little Bear brings bad men to Whiteman. Good for you, Little Bear. What is the meaning of all of this, Whiteman? Captain, you didn't give me a chance to tell you when we got up to Wolfpaw's camp with hound a man, Kansas Joe. And here he is with a man who helped him escape. And that Indian boy catches him, eh? Well, I'll be sweet. Okay, Doc. We get him good with rifles. Keep rifle on both our way. The soldiers, come here. I'd like to get my hands on that little devil. Yeah, me too. Well, you won't, Joe. You ain't escaping the law again. Whitey, give me your badge. Eh, my, my badge? That's what I said. Come on, hand it over. That's all right, dear. Little Bear, I ain't got a medal to pin on you. So I'll use this badge instead. There you are, son. What's this for? For helping save me and Whitey and capturing Kansas Joe and his partner. You're just a lad. But you've done a man's work. Oh, that's the truth. He wants to stay with my, my friends. Little Bear not wanting to go back to work, car. All right, Little Bear. We're taking you back to Fort Anderson. And we'll see that you're well taken care of. How's that? Little Bear like that. Now can laugh when Whitey makes funny face. Oh, that's it. And so ends another thrilling adventure in the lives of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy Whitey Larson.
