Short filmTranscript
00:00This is the range country where the pounding hooves of untamed horses still thunder over
00:08mountains, meadows, and canyons.
00:11Every herd has its own leader, but there is only one fury, fury, king of the wild stallions.
00:18And here in the wild west of today, hard riding men still battle the open range for a living.
00:23Men like Jim Newton, owner of the Broken Wheel Ranch, and Pete, his top hand who says he
00:28cut his teeth on a branding iron.
00:30Fury!
00:31Fury!
00:32Wild as fury is, that's the one human voice he's learned to love and obey.
00:45The voice of the boy who once saved his life, Jim Newton's boy, Joey.
00:59Fury!
01:06Here's a mutual trust and affection that everyone can understand, especially a woman like Helen
01:12Watkins, Joey's school teacher and unfailing champion.
01:25And there they are together, a great wild horse and the only person on earth who can
01:30ride him, Joey and Fury.
01:48Is anything wrong, David?
02:01Oh, hello, dear.
02:02How's the baby?
02:03She's asleep in the trailer.
02:04Why did we stop?
02:05Hmm?
02:06Oh, just checking to find the nearest town to the trailer camp.
02:08Look, capital city, 52 miles.
02:10We can make it.
02:11Uh, dear, just once on this trip, uh, couldn't we stop over somewhere before it gets dark?
02:16Just once?
02:17How are we going to make any time?
02:18Well, this is a vacation, not an endurance contest.
02:22Hey, Twin Forks, 25 miles.
02:25Can we at least drive there tonight?
02:27You're always making a deal.
02:29All right, Twin Forks, and not a foot further.
02:31Hey, what's your hurry?
02:32I'd better look in on the baby.
02:34Oh, she's all right.
02:35Besides, we haven't seen each other all day.
02:37Come on, hop in.
02:38All right.
02:39Let me lock up.
02:40Okay.
02:41Mm-hmm.
02:42So when was the baby discovered missing?
03:08About 10 minutes ago.
03:10The child's parents just called in from Twin Forks.
03:12They think she might have gotten out of the trailer in this vicinity, and I'm asking every
03:15rancher in the county to help in the search.
03:17Pete and I will meet you right away.
03:19Hi, Jim.
03:20Where are you going?
03:21We're getting together a search party.
03:24There's a baby lost somewhere out near Dry Canyon.
03:39A baby?
03:40Gosh, we just passed by there on our way home from school.
03:43Can we go with you, Jim?
03:44No, not this time, boys.
03:46You boys better get washed up and have your supper.
03:49There's some cold meatloaf in the icebox.
03:50We'll see you later.
03:51Be sure you stay inside till we get back.
03:54Hey, Wes.
03:57Gosh.
03:58It's like I told you.
04:03Kids can never go looking for adventure.
04:07The capital of New Jersey is Trenton.
04:13What is the biggest city?
04:14Hey, Joey.
04:15Huh?
04:16What's the biggest city in New Jersey?
04:19You'd better know it by tomorrow, because Miss Helen is going to ask you.
04:22Who cares?
04:23That little baby alone out in that canyon?
04:26I'd be scared to be alone out there, and I'm grown up.
04:37Don't bother unsaddling him.
04:38We'll be going right out again.
04:39It's Jim and Pete.
04:40They're back.
04:41Did you find the baby yet?
04:46I'm afraid not, Joey.
04:47You kids have school tomorrow.
04:48It's time you were in bed.
04:49Now, look.
04:50Pete and I are going out again right away, and we'll probably be out all night.
04:55So when you get up in the morning, just get your breakfast and go on to school, huh?
04:58Okay, Jim.
04:59I'll have Pete leave your lunchboxes on the kitchen table.
05:01Good night, Mr. Newton.
05:03Good night, boys.
05:07Joey, we'll find the baby.
05:20Kids okay?
05:21Yeah, I just sent them to bed.
05:22I fed the horses.
05:23You reckon we got time to get something to eat before we go out looking again?
05:26No, I'm afraid not, Pete.
05:28Every minute that baby's alone out there, she's in more danger.
05:30What are we waiting for?
05:31Frankie?
05:32What?
05:33You asleep?
05:47No, I'm not.
05:56I've been thinking about that poor little baby alone out there.
05:59Yeah, with all those wild animals prowling around.
06:03I feel like looking for the little thing.
06:05Me, too.
06:06When?
06:07Right this very minute.
06:08But Jim'll get awful mad at us.
06:09Yeah, I guess so.
06:10How about getting up at daylight and looking for her before we go to school?
06:15Yeah, good.
06:16And as long as we're getting up so early, how about going to sleep now?
06:20Okay.
06:21Okay.
06:38Well?
06:39I'm not sure.
06:40Oh, Mr. Stanhope, if you could only give us some idea of where you stopped.
06:44It all looks so different at night.
06:47Well, we'll just have to keep combing the area and hope we're guessing right.
06:52All right, Freddie, move on out.
07:02My baby out there in the dark.
07:05They're doing all they can, honey.
07:07They're doing all they can.
07:14Attention all you men on the searching party.
07:16We still have no information on where the trailer stopped.
07:19So spread out at intervals of 500 yards and cover both sides of the highway.
07:23All right, men, get started.
07:28Why don't you two get some rest?
07:30I'll get word to you as soon as we have some news.
07:38Steve and I will keep looking.
07:46Hey, look.
07:49What do you reckon they're up to?
07:51I don't know, but I got a pretty good idea.
07:55Gosh, now maybe we can't go looking for them.
07:58Hi, Jim.
07:59Good morning, Mr. Newton.
08:00Hi, Pete.
08:01Hi.
08:03Hey, Jim.
08:04Good morning, Mr. Newton.
08:05Hi, Pete.
08:06Hi.
08:07Hey, Jim.
08:08Good morning, Mr. Newton.
08:09Hi, Pete.
08:10Hi.
08:11Hey, Jim.
08:12Good morning, Mr. Newton.
08:13Hi, Pete.
08:14Hi.
08:15All right, boys, where do you think you're going?
08:18We're going to school.
08:20At five o'clock in the morning?
08:22We thought we might go looking for that lost baby on our way to school.
08:25You didn't find her yet, did you?
08:27No, we haven't, Joey.
08:28Can me and Frankie go looking for her?
08:30Can we, Jim?
08:32All right, but be sure you get to school on time.
08:34We will.
08:35And there's a storm coming up, so don't wander too far.
08:38Yes, sir.
08:39Come on, Fury.
08:40So long.
08:42So long.
08:45I don't like the looks of this weather, Pete.
08:47Yeah, wind's coming in from the northeast.
08:49That ain't exactly good news.
08:51No, that child better be found and soon.
08:53We better get some grub in our gizzards.
08:55The coffee will do.
08:56You go in and make it, and I'll get some fresh horses.
09:12See anything?
09:13No.
09:15We better get to school.
09:16You mean give up now?
09:18But we'll be late.
09:19And you know what Jim said.
09:21We won't be late if we just look a little longer.
09:23What do you think, Fury?
09:32This is the spot.
09:33Are you sure?
09:34Why, you can see the tire marks of the trailer.
09:42All right, men, now we've got something to work on.
09:44We know the baby's a crawler and couldn't have gone too far.
09:47We'll start the search from here.
09:49Half of you on one side and half on the other.
09:51Spread out about a half a mile apart.
09:53And if you come across anything, fire two shots in the air.
09:57And, uh, work as fast as you can, men.
10:00Sheriff, find my baby, please.
10:02They'll find her, dear.
10:04Mr. Stanhope, why don't you take your wife over to my ranch?
10:06You can wait for us there.
10:07But I want to help in the search.
10:09We know every inch of this country, Mr. Stanhope.
10:11If your baby's out here, we'll find her.
10:13I think it'd be better if you stayed with your wife.
10:15All right, if you say so.
10:17Fine.
10:18My ranch is the Broken Wheel.
10:19It's down the road about four miles.
10:21You'll see the sign on the right.
10:23The door's always open, so just go on in and make yourselves at home.
10:27We'll do everything we can, Mr. Stanhope.
10:32She has a lot of courage.
10:34Yes, she has, Jim.
10:36And she's gonna need it.
10:37I don't like the looks of this weather.
10:39I don't like it at all.
10:43The End
11:01What's the matter, Fury?
11:03I see something.
11:05Maybe it's a rattler.
11:13Ahhh!
11:16Golly, it's a baby!
11:18Gosh!
11:20My God, we found you!
11:22What?
11:26What do we do?
11:28Tell everybody, right away!
11:30Boy, will the baby's folks be happy.
11:32We gotta get her back to the ranch, quick!
11:34Oh, my name's Joey.
11:36This is my friend Frankie.
11:37Glad to know you.
11:38Hold her tight.
11:40Let's walk back to the ranch, Fury.
11:42Walk gently.
11:43We don't want her jiggling the baby.
12:10We'll never make it to the ranch, Fury!
12:12How do we know?
12:14Look, Frankie!
12:16It's you and my chap!
12:18Why don't we keep the baby there out of the storm while the other rides for help?
12:20Good idea! Let's hurry!
12:22Yeah!
12:40Ahhh!
12:48You go on first. I'll hand the baby in.
12:50Okay.
12:52Give me the baby.
12:54Careful.
12:56Baby, baby.
12:58You don't want to cry.
13:00There, there.
13:02Look, we left the kerosene lamps here the last time we were up here.
13:04Still got some kerosene in it.
13:06Got any matches?
13:08They're in my saddlebag. I'll get them.
13:10Don't cry now.
13:15Bring the lunchbox while you're at it.
13:17Bet the baby's hungry.
13:19You sit here, Fury.
13:21I'll be right back, and then we'll go for help.
13:27You're gonna be all right.
13:29Don't cry, baby.
13:32There, now, baby.
13:34There, now.
13:42There, there.
13:44She sure is unhappy.
14:02You hold the baby.
14:04My arms are getting tired.
14:08Uh-oh.
14:10What's the matter?
14:12Give me your neckerchief.
14:14What for?
14:16Don't ask questions. Give it to me.
14:18Take off your sweater.
14:20Quick. Come on.
14:22Put it on the box.
14:24Come on.
14:26Put it on the box.
14:36Here, hold these.
14:42Glad I saw Miss Allison do this to her baby.
14:44Daddy, help!
14:52That should do the trick.
14:54Give me the pins. No, no, one at a time.
14:58Give me the other one.
15:02There, that should do it.
15:04Pretty neat job.
15:08I'd better run for help.
15:10Okay, but hurry.
15:14Come on.
15:22It's a landslide!
15:29My baby's dead.
15:31I know my baby's dead.
15:33Honey, don't. Don't.
15:37I know my baby's dead.
15:39They'll find her, honey. They'll find her.
15:41Well?
15:45Nothing.
15:47They're still looking.
16:11Hello.
16:13Hello.
16:15Gary!
16:17Gary!
16:19Go get Jim!
16:23Go get Jim and bring him here!
16:41Hello?
16:43Jim, I was just checking.
16:45Did you give Joey home from school today?
16:47No, he and Frankie have gone.
16:49They left early so they could look for the missing baby
16:51before they went to school.
16:53Well, they didn't get here.
16:55Maybe they're at Frankie's house, waiting out the storm.
16:57No, I just called Frankie's mother.
16:59Frankie's mother?
17:01Yes, Frankie's mother.
17:03Frankie's mother?
17:05Yes, Frankie's mother.
17:07Frankie's mother?
17:09Frankie's mother.
17:11Oh.
17:13Well, thanks for calling, Ellen.
17:15Goodbye.
17:17Goodbye.
17:21Joey and Frankie didn't show up at school.
17:39How do you know chocolate's good for babies?
17:41You remember what our 4-H leader told us.
17:43A bar of chocolate's the same as a pound of beefsteak.
17:45I think the baby would rather have beefsteak.
17:51How about giving it a sandwich?
17:53No.
17:55You take the sandwich.
17:57I got it!
17:59Milk!
18:01Babies love milk.
18:03I got it!
18:05I got it!
18:08I got it!
18:14Babies take milk from baby bottles
18:16with nipples on the end of them.
18:24I got it!
18:26You got a pin?
18:28On my sweater.
18:38This will sterilize it.
18:40What are you going to do?
18:42I'm going to use a balloon as a baby bottle.
18:44Good idea!
18:46I wonder if Fury got back to the ranch yet.
18:48Long ago.
18:50You know how fast Fury runs.
18:52Jim will be here any minute now.
19:00Gosh, Jim should have been here by now.
19:02He'll be here.
19:04He'll be here.
19:06He'll be here.
19:08Maybe Fury didn't even go after him.
19:10Maybe Fury didn't even hear you holler.
19:14I told you, this I'm going to be scared of.
19:16Jim will be here.
19:18He's got to be.
19:20Dad?
19:35You see anything yet?
19:37No, nothing.
19:39I'm afraid there's not much more chance.
19:41Well, we got to keep looking.
19:43Let's go.
19:50Jim!
19:52Jim!
19:54Jim!
19:56Jim!
19:58Jim!
20:00Jim!
20:02Jim!
20:04Jim!
20:06Jim!
20:08Jim!
20:10Jim!
20:12Jim!
20:14Jim!
20:16Jim!
20:18Jim!
20:34Sounds like Fury.
20:38It is.
20:48What happened, Fury?
20:49Where's Joey?
20:50Here, look.
20:51It must belong to the Stanhope child.
20:54He's hurt bad, Jim.
20:55He must have got here on hard alone.
20:57Maybe he can lead us to the baby.
20:59Fury's in terrible pain.
21:00Another step might cripple him for life.
21:02It's your decision, Jim.
21:08Come on, Fury, lead the way.
21:18Keep going, Fury.
21:46I can't breathe very good.
21:49Neither can I.
21:51I'm getting sleepy.
21:53Don't go to sleep, Frankie.
21:55Stay awake.
21:59Look at the lamp.
22:00It's going out.
22:20They're trapped inside.
22:24Joey!
22:25Joey, can you hear me?
22:27Frankie!
22:29Jim!
22:31Jim, we're in here!
22:33Don't worry, Joey.
22:34We'll get you out.
22:36Hurry, Jim!
22:37Hurry!
22:41You're going to be all right, baby.
22:51How's the baby?
22:52He seems to be fine.
23:00You all right, boys?
23:01Yeah.
23:02Fury.
23:03I knew Fury'd get you.
23:06Fury!
23:10Fury.
23:14Fury.
23:17He'll be all right, Joey.
23:18He's just got a bad gash on his leg.
23:20Fury.
23:21Joey, you've got a horse you can be proud of.
23:30No words can do justice in describing the unfailing courage and heart shown by this wonderful horse, Fury,
23:36in leading the rescuers to the entrapped children.
23:39Because of their bravery in finding and caring for the Stanhope baby until help arrived,
23:45all this accomplished in the face of overwhelming difficulties,
23:49Joseph Newton and Frankie Watts have been awarded the Conway Award for Distinguished Bravery.
23:56And here's another award, this check for distinguished service for your 4-H club.
24:00Gee, thanks!
24:02Well, boys, how's it feel to be heroes?
24:05Great.
24:06Wonderful.
24:07And this is for Fury.
24:10Ha, ha, ha!
24:12Ha, ha, ha!
