 Is it your misfortunes and none of my own? If it's I, I'll all get along, you little doggies. You know that the ferry will be on your home. And now for the thrilling adventure, Lightning Jim and the Mad Killer Dirt. A stave coast rumbled along the stave trail as a masked rider suddenly came out from behind a protecting boulder. Yeah, sure. Get on off of that coach. Sure. And don't try to reach for them six you'll get caught in partner. Well, you're wasting your time, Mr. I ain't carrying no passengers in no cash. Well, ain't that too bad? Lovely, doggie. Howdy, Slim. Don't recognize you with that mask on, stranger. Don't remember me, huh? Well, take a look. Killer Dirt. Yeah, Killer Dirt. Nice, thank you. Sure. I thought you was in jail, doggie. I was. Busted loose, huh? Yeah, two days ago. But you was lucky, Slim. Lucky? Sure. When Lightning Jim and that sweet deputy trapped us in that gold mine, you was on the outside and got clear. Yep, yeah, I got away. Yeah, Marshall figured he'd broke up the dirt gang. Well, the rest of the boys are still in jail, but Killer Dirt is loose. Yeah, yeah, but what are you aiming to do? Get Lightning Jim. Get Lightning Jim? Yeah, and you're going to help me, Slim. Now, hold on, Dirt. I ain't taking a hand in that game. What's the matter, you gone sharp? Yeah, maybe so. When Lightning Jim broke up the gang, I came north and got this job driving the stage. I've been going straight. Right. That's a good one. But listen, Dirt, you're a grudge again. Lightning Jim is your own affair, and you've got to leave me out of it. Slim, you never give me your orders before, and you ain't starting now. You know why they call me Killer Dirt? Oh, that's a story. That may be just shooting mine, I'll help you change your mind. Hey, wait, don't, don't, don't. I got playin' my game or do I dread you? Well, sure, I'm with you, Dirt. That's better. And remember, one wrong move and I'll dread you clean. Sure. Well, you're taking the stage. In the next town is Mountain Valley, then on up to Fort Anderson. Fort Anderson, eh? That's where Lightning Jim heads in, ain't it? Yeah, but I'm telling you, when you start out to get Lightning Jim, you're fooling with dynamite. Dynamite, eh? Well, that's an idea. Well, I don't have to tell you, he's the fastest drawin' umbra on the plane. Well, he ain't gonna get the chance to draw. I'll go and sell that trap for him. Yeah. Killer Dirt's trap. The criminals and best parables of the Old West both feared and respected the reputation of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple. But Killer Dirt was no ordinary outlaw. He was a savage, half-crazed, cold-blooded killer obsessed with a desire for revenge against Lightning Jim. We joined the Marshal and his deputy, Whitey Larson, at their headquarters at Fort Anderson. It seems like he's over for a get-go, didn't it? What? Yeah. Oh, that's so. Well, that's good news, Whitey. Yeah. Huh? I'm sorry, Whitey. I was just thinking about something else. Yeah. Well, that looks like some work for us. Yeah, right, and so. Get the horses, Whitey. We're going up to see the sheriff at Bardville. Well, we'll follow the state's sail up past Willow Crick and, most likely, we'll be running into it. Oh, he ought to hear that spirit. I want to hear that poppy doggy and the sooner the quicker. Oh, get tongueed. When you talk to me in front of people, my name's Smith. Same, Smith. Get it? All right. Taking out passengers. They can show. Any cash? Nope, not this trip. Going to Fort Anderson, huh? Hey, wait. Looks like one of our passengers is coming now. Pardon me, gentlemen. Which one of you is the state driver? Right here, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you? How soon is the state going out? About an hour. Where are you going? Going to Fort Anderson. Come in on the stage ahead of you, but he broke down. They told me I'd be riding with you. Sure. Well, this is a camera, mister. A camera? What do you do with it? Take a picture. Yeah, I heard you didn't picture machines. Hey, how did you work? Well, I got her all loaded. If that thing shows... Oh, sure. It shows pictures. That's very funny, mister. Yeah. I thought so, too. You see, all you do is just point it like this. Don't point that thing at me. It won't hurt you, mister. I just want to take the pictures. Don't shoot. Listen, Greenhorn, don't you ever point that contraption at me again. You understand? I get you, mister. Oh, boy. Come on, Rita. Get out. All right. Come on, Puff. Come back here. Get that dog out of here. Stop it. Come here. Get out of here. Hey, fuck the idea of kicking that dog. Why, he's only your puppy. He wouldn't bite you. You have no right to kick him. Well, any dog that bosses with me is going to get kicked and if that ain't enough, I'll drill him and make sure he don't. Oh, no, you don't. Do try to shoot that dog and see what happens. Why? Hold on, folks. Ain't no use losing your temper over a dog. Oh, stop it. Do you hear me? If you want that dog to live, you better be kind. A driver, come over to the Jason house before you pull out. You know that man, driver? Sure. He's all right. You've got to trigger a temper and I reckon he don't take much to dogs. Don't worry about him. Well, he had no right to kick the dog just because he bombed. That's what I say, ma'am. Why, he was going to shoot my head off just because I wanted to get his picture. Can you imagine that? My colleague, he ought to be in jail. That's what. Where are you folks going? Fort Anderson. Well, I say, that's where I'm going. Glad I'm going to have company. Charlie Carr is my name. But the boys out here call me Chicago Charlie because that's where I live. They're glad you know you're Mr. Carr. How are you, ma'am? Howdy. So you had a fight with Ed Bulley, too, and... I sure did. I think he's mighty handy with the shooting iron. Well, he ought to meet up with someone I know, a man who really knows how to handle a sick shooter. Who's that? Lightning Jim Whipple, the United States Marshal. Do you know Lightning Jim? Do I know him? Say, him and me as old friends. Well, that's why I'm going down to Fort Anderson to see him and his deputy, Whitey L. Arson. He starts to urge you to hear that. I sure did. Mr. Reno Lightning and Whitey, too. Small. Yeah, it was Lightning Jim who saved my life. He caught a fellow who killed my brother and wounded me. Yeah, by Charlie, we know him. Well, that sure is a small world. Imagine all this meeting up like we did and finding where all friends are Lightning Jim. Yeah. And me and Parr are going down to Fort Anderson to see them, too. Well, it looks like we're going to have a big reunion. Yeah. Oh, I almost forgot. We're taking this dog to Whitey. Our sweet dog, Jenny, had a little of pups. And I promised Whitey he could have this one. Well, say, he's going to be mighty tickled. So that's a fine puppy. Yeah. He wants to shake hands by Charlie. Pardon me, folks. I've got a little business to do before we pull out. I'll be back in a little while. Yeah, that's all right, mister. I got to take this down to the Liberty Stable anyhow, the team. Well, they're all friends of Lightning Jim. Yeah. What's your last name? I just had me and I do. Yeah? Yeah. I told you, I figured it's going to be a tough one for Lightning Jim. Yeah. Well, I kind of got a nose in these friends of his and I was going to help them. What? You're taking that old man and his daughter and that green one on the stage, ain't you? Sure. Yep. And our first stop is the stage two over to Willow Creek and into Fort Anderson. And north of the creek is Boulder Canyon. Sure. And up in that canyon is the old Boulder Mine. Yep. But it ain't been worked for years. So much the better. Unlikely being nobody around the boundaries. I know. What are you planning to do? I'll be waiting for you at the Willow Creek Bridge. I'm holding up the stage. Yeah. Yeah, the old man in that city just brought the tape in the case. Well, what are you holding up the stage for? I'm taking the girls, Anthony. Oh. What are you going to do with her? Take her up to the Boulder Mine and I'll be leaving tracks of blind man could follow. Oh, yeah? You take the other two I'm raising to Fort Anderson and tell Lightning Jim you were held up and the girl was kidnapped, you understand? Yeah, sure. The Marshal and his deputy will pick up the trail easy and walk right into the trap, see? Now, skirting's still good for them coyotes. It's got a better idea. Yeah? Right now I got to pick up some dynamite. Dynamite? Yeah. When you set a trap for rats, you use teeth. Well, I'm setting a trap for two skunk law badges and I'm using dynamite. This is it. Will Mad Killer Dirt be able to carry out his flock to get Lightning Jim? The exciting climax of this thrilling story will come in part two, which follows immediately. Now for part two of the Lightning Jim adventure, Lightning Jim and the Mad Killer Dirt. The stagecoach that is taking Rita, Adolf and Chicago Charlie to Fort Anderson pulls up at a stage station along the trail. This is the Elm Fork Station, folks. Soon as we change teams, we'll be moving on to Fort Anderson. Let us get out and stretch a bit. Come on, Pop. Guys, I'm stiff as a boy. Yeah. These stagecoaches got hot teeth. Hi, Charlie. Here come two riders. Yeah. Now when you look who it is. Oh, Thunder Boy. Lightning Jim and Whitey. Hi, folks. Yeah, it's good to see you again, my guy. Hold it, boys. Hold it. I want to get your picture. Thunder Rachel Whitey. Will you look who's here? You'll be in a minute. It's called the Shorty. Man, can you picture that? Trying to steal my stuff. Hey, you're shorty. Where do you need to pick up this great care? At Mountain Valley. He did not have no brand on him, so we brought him along. Well, if you ask me, I think Charlie's camera is a pretty good brand. That's right, ma'am. When it comes to bomb yokes, yeah, you take the price, Charlie. Oh, is that so? Now, just for that, I won't take your picture. Right, folks? You'll be in a minute. This is my puppy, it's your ass. My galley look. You see, the last time I seen her, she was just a tiny little thing. My goodness, she's a big dog. She's a smart dog, my boy. Oh, you're just little, I see. There's some tricks. You teach the dog to catch out laws, we won't have to work no more. Well, kid, it isn't as fun as you think like this. This little eagles' mommy, she helped us catch the fella. That's right, ma'am. Then you use the smartest dog I've ever lived by, Charlie. Oh, that's how you can get off, but I can get his daughter a smarter. Hey, a white man's white. Get back on your horses. Oh, here comes Charlie with his camera. Yes, sir. Lightning, Jim, and Thunder, and Whitey, and his new dogs. Well, kid, that thing says to bed that we are like this. Sure. We'd like a picture like that, wouldn't we, Pa? Oh, sure. There you see. Go on, get on your horses, boys. Oh, come on. All right, come here, Thunder. Come here, boy. Lightning, Thunder's the prettiest piece of horse flesh I ever saw. Oh, he sure is, ma'am. What do you have on a puppy to Whitey? Well, he meant me to hold the dog, but I don't know that, right? Yeah, come here, Pope. Yeah, there you are, my kid. You've got to keep still. I can't see my feet. Now, I'll show you some action, fellas. Pull out your six shoes. All right, Charlie. How's this? Good. Now, Pope, Phil. Why, puppy? Don't worry, Whitey. I got the picture before the dog moves. Oh, I was right. That's fine. Now, wait till you see it. All right, folks, we're ready to go. Oh, hello, my shirt. Howdy, driver. Oh, Lightning. Are you and Whitey going to ride back with us? No, ma'am. Me and Whitey got a little business over at Bardville, much just a few miles from here, and then we're coming back to Fort Anderson. So make yourselves comfortable and take a look around the town till we get back. Yeah, yeah, we will do that, Lightning. Sure. Maybe I'll have the picture developed when you come back. Whitey, Whitey. Can I take the puppy with us? No, I don't think so, Whitey. We've got work to do. She ain't old enough to sail after us yet. Oh, it's good. Thank you, Whitey, for this. You're not going to be a real pale scientist. Oh, my God. Yeah, I think I'm a pretty lucky fellow. Oh, my God. Whitey, so hold up. You're young, a man. I don't know if that's called driving. Take your hands in the air. All right, folks, get out and put them up. Get away, you changed bucket. Oh, please, mister, don't shoot him. Lucky for him, he ran back at them rocks. I'll turn around and face the coach all of us. All right. Well, you ain't carrying guns. I reckon I'll be taking your chance. Listen, mister, that's all the money I got. Shut up, Charlie. You want to get killed? Yeah, you don't want to get killed. Are you too hungry to get your faces to the coach and don't move or I'll gray you? Now, miss, you'll be getting up on that horse of mine. What? Get up on your horse. Yes, and don't try no funny business or I'll gray you and your old man toe. You're getting... You can't do this. You can't do this behind you. Come back here. I'm going up. You ain't got no horse. No, but you got process pulling the safe coach. You want to hit one of those horses. You ain't got no guns. That is so safe. You got guns? Well, I reckon he must have forgot him. So he forgot him, huh? Listen, I know who that fella was. He was the fella you was talking with back at Mount Belly. He was the fella that kicked the dog. Yeah, I could not see his face, but I know his voice by going... Ah, you're talking to your hat man. It's that show. It was you and him that landed. You give me that horse and that gunny or I break every bone in your body. Ah, you're some crazy. I ain't giving you no gun and me ain't taking a horse. Why, you low down coyote, I'll shoot you. Hey, right where you are, mister. I got you covered and I'm shooting if you move a step. Oh, I was right. Good boy, Charlie. Yeah, I hit him on the head with my camera tripod when he wasn't working. Yeah, you knocked him down by golly. He wouldn't give me his guns. So I take them. Say, are you really going after that bandit, Adolf? Ah, you bet. First we get a rope and tie up this poor cat. Yeah, that's right. And then we put him in the coat. I'll take one of the horses and you drive the stage to Fort Anderson and make the lightning pin come back. You tell him that he was held up and he can follow it to the tail. Ah, sure, I'll do that. Say, where's the dog? Oh, I don't know. Maybe she followed after that bandit. Maybe so, but we ain't got no time to worry about that dog now. We got to save Rita. Inside your mind. Is this just a puppy? Well, I don't like George St. She starts barking at me like she's done before. I'll trouble her. She'd better not if she knows what's good for her. Sit down on that rock. Well, if it's money you want. It ain't money I'm after. I'm setting a little stuff for your friend the United States Marshal. You mean lightning, Jim? Yeah, lightning, Jim. You see this package I got? It's a little present for the Marshal. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And that's the way it happened, Leighton. Gosh, I thought you'd never get here. Charlie, you say the bandit held up the stage at Willow Creek? Yeah. And he took Rita on his horse and went north, north to the creek at Boulder Canyon. Yeah. And A. Dolph took one of the stage horses? Sure. He took the driver's guns and went out after the bandit and Rita. Looks like he's driver watching the Wutlick Outlaw. We take him to the jail Older can you know what I'm going to have to look at them tracks. Yes, he's like that art lover and it's smart. You're going to see to follow his trail. Yeah, he could have gone over the rocks. But if you stay open ground, they're fresh tracks all the way. You can feel you've done that imperfect. Looks like it, buddy. But then maybe this is a trap. Get on, buddy. You behind the clock. That's what seems to be behind the tree over there. Put up your hands wherever you are. I've got you covered. You've been human, it's just you. Hey, don't shoot. It's me and Harry. Life's been doomed. Thank God you've come. Good thing you spoke up, Adolf. You were ready to shoot it out. You already was too close, Sven. Yeah, it's so dark I couldn't see who it was. I lost the trail. Lightning, we've got to find Rita. Take it easy, Adolf. He'll catch up with that jasper. Can I tell you? Yeah, it's all his everything. Why did you take Rita? Well, that's what we've got to find out. Yeah, but I want you to use it to follow the trail in the dark. Yeah, most likely taking her to a cabin or cave up here in the canyon. Why don't you cross over and drop the far ridge? Adolf, you come with me. Now listen, keep low, be careful. We meet at the north end of the canyon by the waterfall. You're a nice tope like that jigger before we used to get in there. Tell your ex. One moment, I'm talking to you. Yeah, partner. Eh, what's this going up to Bart, Sven? This is, well, that's a good one, Swade. I know who you are, Whitey Larson. Where's your partner, Lakeland Jim? Oh, he's still on there, yes? No, he's next down. Well, I want to save him. Bad. Yes, yes, but you do that for it. You two must have been together, so maybe them shots will bring him here. It seems to be about the place where we heard them shots, Adolf. Yeah, I got it. It looks like a piece. No, Adolf, that's the entrance to an old mine. He's a better for years. But he forgot it was here. Don't move, Adolf. Look, he's got that rock. Yeah, but you think he's... No, the rock saved him. You think he's alone? Can't be sure, yeah. Eh, I know you're shooting it out like this, Jim. I got the griles. And just sweet pepperies. You hear that? He's got Whitey, too. Yeah. You better come out face-to-face, or I'll drill these holes. Why, he's a dirty little dog. Hold on, Adolf. Sounds like a crazy man. Can't take any chances. All right, Mr.... Take your hands in the air, Marshal. Sure. Come on, Adolf. When we get up to him, you call the reader. Maybe I can get a sense of dawn in the dark. Come on, come on! I ain't waiting all night. All right, Mr. We're coming. That's what ain't for the old man, too. She's like everybody here. This is the end of your trail, Adolf and Jim. Where's my daughter? You'll see. Rita! Rita! Ah, yeah, yeah. Get away from me! Get away from me! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! You're talking like me. Yeah, thanks to the dog. Dog! Come on, dog! Come on! Is it this? Yeah. Good lord, Adolf. I know this. Yes, sir. It's killer Dirk. Rita and Heidi must be inside. Come on, quick. Now! Rita! Heidi! Yes, yes, sir. Yeah, I'm right. You take Rita now as a quiteie. Rita! How are you, Adolf? I'm alright. You never done that, baby. You see that, Jim? There you are. Did you get Jim? Yeah, I got him what it. Oh, and the puppy's here. I got it. That's right, Adolf. When he heard your voice, he came running out of here and bump into Dirk. When Dirk turned, I had a chance to draw and shoot. You mean I had to, you see, like a smart dog. Did you know this man before, Adolf? Yes, ma'am. You know him, Adolf. Yes, ma'am. I know him. Yes, ma'am. Why do you need Pratt, Jack, and his gang in a mine? It wouldn't come out, so we threatened to blow him out with dynamite. No. That explains why there's not enough dynamite in here. Dynamite? Yes. There's the fuse running outside. He was going to catch you and set that fire to the fuse. You're blowing us so long for this idea, yet you weren't. Right, Jack. You was right, my dear. He was a mess, man. So, you see, surely, there was my dog that saved the day. Holy smoke. Thank you. It was a close one. Oh, yeah. You're welcome. Well, folks, Chicago Charlie has got a real surprise for you. You'll ever turn to the surprise. Yeah. Here. Take a look at this picture. The humanist is dead. This is the picture like the human being is a dog. Everyone surely took it to see it. Oh, let me see it. Yeah, let's have a look at it, why not? No, only two. Oh, it's dead. Oh, you ain't dead. Oh, it's wonderful. Yeah, that is the best picture that I've ever seen by Charlie. Oh, it's so beautiful. Look at the dog sitting up there, understand? They're with me. We've got a good one, boys. Thank you, brother. I think he's the best thing in the picture. And so ends another thrilling chapter in the lives of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson.
