00:00Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:07Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:10With his little sister, Calamity.
00:15Buffalo Bill Jr. brings you exciting action.
00:22Thrills and fun with Judge Ben Ferron Square Wiley.
00:29Buffalo Bill, Bill, Bill Jr.
00:46In a place as small as Wileyville,
00:48any stranger who keeps to himself and don't state his business is bound to attract attention.
00:54Jonathan Quimby had been at Maude Gaffney's boarding house a whole week,
00:58and folks were about to bust with curiosity.
01:01Every day, Quimby rode out into the desert
01:03and came back without saying where he'd been or what he'd been doing.
01:07And then, to top it off, he started sending those crazy telegrams.
01:11Gaff came back from the junction. He must have sent another telegram.
01:15Well, Danny, the telegraph office says that he sent them in code.
01:19He's a foreign spy. That's what I think.
01:22Huh. Who's he spying on?
01:24Well, I don't know.
01:26But he ought to be locked up.
01:27Oh, for Pete's sake, Maude Gaffney, the man ain't done nothing.
01:30You can't arrest a man for doing nothing.
01:33Wait till you hear this.
01:35I was down at the telegraph office talking to Danny when Mr. Quimby came in and he...
01:39Oh, is that a copy of his telegram?
01:41Yes, sir.
01:42Then you tear it up.
01:43Reading other people's telegrams constitutes an invasion of privacy.
01:46But, Judge...
01:47Objection overruled.
01:49Golly.
01:50Well, however, on the other hand,
01:52since the whole town will know all about it within an hour,
01:55I suppose it could be maintained that Quimby actually don't have any privacy.
02:00Let's hear it.
02:02To Miss Florence Pike, Frontier Hotel, Kansas City.
02:07Hmm. Same as the others.
02:09Blueberry muffins, sour cream, and fiddle-dee-dee.
02:13Stop. Don't let Blackbird out of pride.
02:16Well, that's the strangest one yet.
02:18Ha! The man's a lunatic.
02:20Blueberry muffins. Hmm. Hmm.
02:24Well, that's one I just can't understand.
02:28Uh-oh.
02:31There he goes, heading for the desert again.
02:36This time I'm going after him.
02:37No.
02:38But, Judge, he might be a crook.
02:39Or a whore and spouse.
02:40No.
02:41I'll stay out of sight. He'll never know I followed him.
02:43That would be snooping.
02:45Golly.
02:46Still, on the other hand,
02:49if you wanted to ride on the desert, I see no reason why you shouldn't.
02:52I'm on my way.
02:53Wait. I'm going with you.
02:54No, you're not.
02:55Oh, please, Bill.
02:57You're not going for three reasons.
02:59That's not fair.
03:00Usually there's only two reasons for me not doing something.
03:03Well, this time there's three.
03:05One, you're a girl.
03:06Two, you're too little.
03:08And three, this is a job of trailing.
03:10Well, I know how to trail.
03:11You taught me, didn't you?
03:13Well, sure, but that doesn't mean it.
03:14Well, this is a good chance, then, to show you what a good teacher you are.
03:17Come on.
03:18Well, all right.
03:20All right.
03:21But if you mess things up, I'm going to skin you alive.
03:50Let's leave our horses here.
04:08Think he heard it?
04:09He definitely did.
04:12You stay here and don't let him do it again.
04:17Is that your horse?
04:18No.
04:19Get out of sight.
04:50Looking for something?
04:53No.
04:54It's just that these hot springs are just mighty interesting, aren't they?
04:57Young man, do you realize you're trespassing on private property?
05:01Private property?
05:02That's right.
05:03This land's been purchased from the government.
05:05You mean you paid money for this pile of rocks?
05:07That's exactly what I mean.
05:09And I'm asking you to leave.
05:11Well, sure.
05:12But if you feel that way about it, you ought to post a sign or something to keep people out.
05:15Maybe I'll do that.
05:17Goodbye.
05:19Sure.
05:33Why'd you tell him so much?
05:35I figured it was about time.
05:36Yeah, but by night, everybody in the country will know.
05:39Sure.
05:40They'll all think I'm crazy.
05:42Crazy as a coot.
05:43I tell you, he's crazy as a coot.
05:45What would anybody want with that worthless land around the devil's washbowl?
05:48Maybe there's gold on it.
05:50No, no.
05:51There's no gold and no oil.
05:53Even the water's not fit to drink.
05:55Well, he had some reason for buying it.
05:57You don't need a reason if you're crazy.
06:00I tell you, I'm not...
06:01Hey, Quimby's received the telegram.
06:03You mean he got an answer to all that gibberish?
06:06Did Danny tell you what it said?
06:07Yes, it's from that Miss Pike.
06:09Jack and Jill and little Miss Muppet doing nicely.
06:11Stop.
06:12And so is Wednesday's child.
06:14She's as crazy as he is.
06:16I don't get it.
06:17Neither do I.
06:18You've got to do something about it.
06:19Such as what?
06:20Well, your town marshal.
06:21Make him tell you what he's up to.
06:22Well, good afternoon.
06:24I, uh...
06:25I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
06:27I just dropped by to...
06:29Well, to apologize for my somewhat mysterious behavior during the past week.
06:33I realize it must have seemed strange to you.
06:35Until certain arrangements were made, I had to keep my business here a secret.
06:38What business?
06:39Well, I represent Miss Florence Pike,
06:41the lady who's purchased all the land around devil's washbowl.
06:43She's going to build a resort hotel there.
06:45A resort hotel?
06:46At devil's washbowl?
06:48Oh, yes.
06:49You've heard of Colorado Springs, White Sulphur Springs, haven't you?
06:51Oh, yes.
06:52Of course.
06:53Well, let me tell you.
06:54The water at devil's washbowl is so far superior, there's no comparison.
06:57You expect people to drink that smelly water?
07:00Well, actually, young lady, from a medicinal standpoint,
07:03they couldn't drink anything better.
07:04That water is worth its weight in gold.
07:06And you got it for almost nothing.
07:08Yes.
07:09Yes, yes.
07:10That's quite true.
07:11However, you must remember this.
07:12Miss Pike isn't the only one who'll profit from this venture.
07:15Everyone in Wileyville is going to profit.
07:17The thousands of people who come to the springs
07:19are going to turn Wileyville into a thriving community.
07:21By guilty glory, I never thought of that.
07:23A land boom.
07:25We'll all be rich.
07:26It's on the level?
07:27I should say it is.
07:29According to a telegram I just received, Miss Pike will be here on Wednesday's stage.
07:32And she's going to have $50,000 for the hotel.
07:36I hope nothing happens to that stage.
07:42Come on.
08:01You take care of it.
08:07Go on.
08:08Line out of there.
08:09Are you speaking to me?
08:10You're Miss Pike, ain't you?
08:11Yes, but how did you know?
08:13Come on down.
08:19What's that you got on the seat?
08:21My hat box.
08:22Let's see it.
08:23It's just an old hat box.
08:25I want to see what's in it.
08:37Somebody's coming.
08:42Come on.
08:54Are you all right, ma'am?
08:55Yes, but they took my money.
08:57Did you have money on that box?
08:58Yes, almost $50,000.
09:01Oh, no.
09:02I didn't think they'd look for it in a hat box.
09:05Get on into town and tell the judge, Tom.
09:07I'll get right after it, ma'am.
09:08See you later.
09:11Let's go.
09:41Let's go.
10:11Get going.
10:17The stage is late.
10:18I hope everything's all right.
10:19Oh, stop fretting.
10:20I sent Bill out to meet her.
10:22You what?
10:23I sent Bill out to escort her into town.
10:25Now, remember, when I finish my speech of welcome,
10:28you give her the flowers.
10:30On behalf of the children of Wileyville,
10:32I present these flowers as a token of my appreciation
10:36for your generosity.
10:38On behalf of the children of Wileyville,
10:40I present these flowers as a token of my appreciation
10:42for your generosity.
10:43Oh, here she comes.
10:50Olaf!
10:51We had an Olaf!
10:52Oh, Miss Pike.
10:53Mr. Croomley, it was awful.
10:56They stole the money.
10:57The money, all of it?
10:58Yes.
10:59Now we won't be able to build a hotel, nor do any of the things.
11:02She's fainted.
11:04I'll take her to her room.
11:06There she is again.
11:08Now, exactly what happened, Tom?
11:10Two masked men held us up at Scorpion Rock.
11:12Bill went after them.
11:13Matt, gather up a posse and head for Scorpion Rock.
11:16Come on, men.
11:17Let's get our horses.
11:21Here.
11:24Oh, poor dear.
11:27Oh, what a dreadful experience.
11:29Miss Pike.
11:30Miss Pike.
11:32Does that mean you won't be building the hotel?
11:34Please, Mrs. Gaffney.
11:35Don't expect that now.
11:36I'm sorry.
11:37I'll get her some warm soup.
11:38That would be very nice.
11:46All right, Flo.
11:48You can wake up now.
11:50That was a beautiful performance.
11:52You came close to not having a performance.
11:55Some fool kid rode in just as the boys were doing their stuff
11:58and shot the gun right out of Frank's hand.
12:00The boys got away, didn't they?
12:01Yes, but the kid went after him.
12:04I don't like it, Flo.
12:05That kid was Buffalo Bill Jr.,
12:07the best shot and the fastest rider in town.
12:11Hank and Dobie will take care of him.
12:13They'd better.
12:14We'd have a rough time explaining all this fuss
12:16over a hat box filled with old newspapers.
12:28Are you all right, Bill?
12:29What happened?
12:30Well, I got careless, I guess.
12:32Can you make it back to town by yourself?
12:33No, I'd better go with you.
12:34I can identify one of them.
12:36If you have to, let's go.
12:37We've got to get that money.
12:41But they didn't get the money.
12:43For three days, they searched every nook and cranny within miles.
12:47But the crooks vanished,
12:48and Wileyville's hopes of becoming a world-famous health resort
12:51vanished along with them.
12:53On the morning of the fourth day,
12:54Bill was out still looking for some trace of the crooks
12:57when Miss Pike and Quimby dropped by to say they were leaving.
13:01Leaving?
13:02Well, they're taking the 2 o'clock stage.
13:04But there's still a chance that we can find your money.
13:07Those men must be in Mexico by now.
13:09What about your hotel?
13:10You ain't going to give that up, are you?
13:12No.
13:13But I shall have to borrow the money in order to build it.
13:16Oh.
13:17Is that why you're going east?
13:18Yes.
13:19I see.
13:20Well, we'd hate to see you go, Miss Pike.
13:22But of course, say, why not raise the money here?
13:26Oh, you don't understand.
13:28To build the right kind of hotel would take a great deal of money.
13:31Well, there's a lot more around here than you'd think.
13:33Well, that's very sweet of you, Judge, but...
13:35I'm very serious about this, Miss Pike.
13:37That hotel means a great deal to everybody in Wileyville.
13:41Well, what do you think, Mr. Quimby?
13:44Frankly, I, uh, I don't know.
13:46Well, at least you can talk it over with us.
13:48I'll get Matt Riggs and some of the other fellas together.
13:51I don't see any harm in talking.
13:52Well, I'll be right back in a few minutes.
14:01Hook, line, and sinker.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Well, in less than a week, we'll have this town flatter than a tortilla.
14:29Hey, Tom, what's going on?
14:30It's the hotel.
14:31We've organized it.
14:32Come, you're going to build it ourselves.
14:34No joke?
14:35No joke.
14:37There you are.
14:39Now, how many for you, Maude?
14:40Twenty.
14:41Twenty shares?
14:42Are you sure you can afford that much?
14:45Miss Pike was going to put $50,000 into the hotel.
14:48I guess I can risk $2,000.
14:50Thank you, Mrs. Gaffney.
14:52I consider that a vote of confidence.
14:54Of course, you realize, Mrs. Gaffney, we'll have to have the money as soon as possible.
14:58I see about mortgaging the place first thing in the morning.
15:01Good.
15:12This is just like election night.
15:14Isn't it wonderful?
15:15Miss Pike's putting up the land, and the town's putting up the money.
15:18Hiya, Bill.
15:19Getting on the gravy train?
15:20Oh, no, I don't even have the money to buy a ticket.
15:23Oh, don't worry.
15:24The judge is taking care of you.
15:25What do you mean?
15:26He's mortgaging his store and buying 40 shares.
15:28Mortgage in the store?
15:29Sure, we're all doing it.
15:31I'm mortgaging the stage line, and the ranchers are borrowing money on their cattle.
15:42What's the matter, Bill?
15:43Don't you think the hotel is a good idea?
15:45Well, maybe it's a good idea, but it's a gamble.
15:49Suppose the springs go dry, and the people don't drink the water, even if it's good for them.
15:53Gray Wolf said he wouldn't drink the water.
15:56Gray Wolf?
15:57That Indian friend of yours?
15:58Yes.
15:59He said Devil's Washbowl was bad medicine, but I told him he was local.
16:03Maybe the water tastes bad, but it's really good for you.
16:07Indians use bad taste in medicine.
16:10What's that got to do with it?
16:12Well, if the water was good for their health, they'd drink it no matter what it tasted like.
16:17That's right.
16:19Don't say anything to anyone, but you and I are going to have another look at Devil's Washbowl.
16:23Yes, sir.
16:54This place gives me the creeps.
16:56If you want a real case of creeps, just think of all the money the people are sinking into it.
17:03Wow, whatever that water is, it's hot.
17:05Well, how can we find out whether the water's any good or not?
17:08Well, we'll take it to the chemist in Kingston and have him analyze it.
17:11And if the water isn't any good, does that mean that Quimby's a crook?
17:15Probably.
17:16Maybe all this stuff about the springs and the hotel is just a trick.
17:19They're getting this pike out here so he can rob her.
17:21And now he's trying to rob the hotel.
17:23Well, that's only if the water is bad.
17:25It may be every bit as good as he claims it is.
17:27I sure hope so.
17:32Here we are.
17:34What do you want?
17:35Take a gun.
17:36Hey, you're one of the guys that held up the stage.
17:38That's right, Buster.
17:39Well, what do you want with us? We don't have any money.
17:41Maybe not, but you ain't taking that water to any chemist.
17:43And then the water's no good?
17:45That's right, sister.
17:46Did you tell anybody else?
17:48Maybe.
17:50I could get a better answer out of you, but I ain't got the time.
17:53I'll take them and lose them in the desert.
17:55You ride and tell Quimby you'll have to move out fast.
17:57Where would we meet?
17:58I'll meet you on the road, too.
18:19Come on.
18:50Nice going, Bill.
18:52It was a little rough.
18:54You ride on ahead and warn the judge about Quimby.
18:56I'll bring these two in.
18:57Sure.
18:58Here.
18:59You better take this.
19:20Quimby!
19:21Quimby!
19:22Quimby!
19:23Bill's gone, Miss!
19:24Miss, wait!
19:25Bill's gone, Miss!
19:27What's the matter?
19:28Nothing.
19:29I...
19:30I'm looking for the judge.
19:31Oh, he's in the back room, Calamity.
19:32Right.
19:34Judge!
19:36How many times have I told you...
19:38Bill texted the bandit who held up the stage.
19:39What?
19:40He's bringing the men.
19:41What's more, Quimby's a crook.
19:43Oh, you must be mistaken.
19:45His friends are any good, Miss Pike.
19:47Quimby lied about them so he could rob you.
19:48Oh, the child's hysterical.
19:49She don't sound hysterical to me.
19:52Come on, honey.
19:53Get away from that door.
19:54Huh?
19:55Get over there and keep quiet.
19:56But Miss Pike, it's...
19:57I said be quiet.
20:01Oh, Mr. Quimby?
20:03Yes?
20:04Will you come in here for a moment, please?
20:05Oh, hold on.
20:06Low down.
20:07Hush.
20:10What happened?
20:11They know about us.
20:13We'll have to get out fast.
20:14But how?
20:15You know I can't ride.
20:16Yeah, that's right.
20:18I've got to. There's a stage due to leave town any minute.
20:20But they'll know something's wrong if we leave in such a hurry.
20:22No, no, they won't.
20:23I'll tell Mr. Briggs we're going to take the money to the bank in Kingston.
20:25You start getting it ready.
20:27Matt's not that big of a fool.
20:28He'll get wise to you.
20:29Matt won't get wise to any.
20:31You two are going with us.
20:32If you say one wrong word, it'll be your last.
20:42What have you got there, Bill?
20:43The crooks that stuck up the stage.
20:45You're kidding.
20:46Well, didn't Calamity tell you?
20:48No, she and the judge took the stage to Kingston.
20:50What?
20:51Yeah, they went with Miss Pike and Quimby to bank the hotel money.
20:54Get these fellows in jail, then follow me.
20:56I'm going after the stage.
21:08What happened to you, Tom?
21:10Quimby shoved me off to the stage when I wouldn't go fast enough to suit him.
21:12Well, somebody will be along for you in a minute.
21:14I'm going to go on.
21:15Well, be careful.
21:15That Pike woman's holding a gun on the judge and Calamity.
21:17Miss Pike?
21:18Yeah, and if they see you or after them, it'll go bad with the judge.
21:21Thanks, Tom.
21:22I'll get ahead of them.
21:23Yep.
21:45I'll get ahead of them.
22:15I'll get ahead of them.
22:46Nice going, judge.
22:53Whoa, whoa.
22:56Whoops.
23:09You'd fear thinkin' of him!
23:11Well, he'll be back in a minute.
23:13Don't worry, Tom.
23:14He'll be back.
23:15a huge. Land fake you mean they planned the whole thing from the very beginning
23:22that's right when the act of mysterious to make us think he was up to something
23:25big and then I think the whole to make it think that they really had money to put
23:29into the home. Then he asked me to give you this. Telegram from the judge but
23:35to say very much when he's child stop little Miss Muffet and Blackbird safe and
23:41sour cream pie oh no. Well I think it means the judge has got Miss Pike and
23:48her friends safely locked up in the county jail we've got to relate you bet I
23:52thought for a minute we were going to start all over again.
24:00Now with this horse and with this gun he's not afraid of anyone no one quicker on
24:07the draw or quicker to defend the law. Buffalo Bill.
24:15He's the son of a son of a gun.
