Transcript
00:00Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous
00:15trails, fighting the many enemies of nature.
00:19This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill.
00:23Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain
00:29lions.
00:30Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.
00:42Sometimes doctors pick strange places to practice.
00:45For instance, there's that young Dr. Bruce Hummer, who has his office in the village
00:50of Storm Point.
00:51Storm Point, of course, is located way up in the Dexter Mountains, way out in the middle
00:56of nowhere.
00:58In many respects, the people of Storm Point are very superstitious and backward.
01:03They live isolated from the world except during the midsummer months when the ice and snow
01:07is melted enough to allow free travel.
01:10This fellow Bruce went to Storm Point right after he left medical school.
01:15It's been very difficult for him most of the time.
01:17He's had to battle the villagers.
01:20They think he's harming them more than helping them with his newfangled methods.
01:24After all, you don't go from sulfur and molasses to penicillin without some objection being
01:29raised.
01:30Now, Dr. Bruce is paying a brief visit to the town of Knotty Pine.
01:34In fact, he's just on his way over to see Bill and the rest of the fellows.
01:38Bill, Stumpy, Gray Wolf, and Henry are relaxing a bit at headquarters, and I mean relaxing.
01:45Honestly, every time Stumpy gets in where it's warm, he falls asleep.
01:52He hit not in long that time.
01:54Boy, he sure can saw wood.
01:56Listen to him.
01:58I wonder if I should get him a bale of hay so he can feed his nightmare, huh?
02:03Let the old-timer sleep, fellas.
02:05When you get his age, you'll sleep in the warm air too.
02:10Well, I must say, I've never seen the rangers looking so comfortable.
02:14Bruce!
02:15Bruce Hummer!
02:16Bruce, how are you?
02:17It's been a long time since we've seen you.
02:20Hello, fellas.
02:21Sure good to see you.
02:22How are things up in Storm Point?
02:24Oh, okay, I guess.
02:26Are you in town for long, Bruce?
02:28I'll be here for a couple of days, Gray Wolf.
02:31I've come to get medical supplies and equipment before the pass gets completely filled with snow.
02:37That could happen plenty soon now.
02:39Say, looks like Stumpy's pretty busy there in the easy chair.
02:45He's got 10 or 12 cords of wood sawed by now, Bruce.
02:49He's been at it ever since he came in.
02:53Say, listen, fellas, I've got to run downtown and drop off my orders for supplies.
02:59It'll take them a day or so to get things together and packed.
03:03I'll be back in about an hour, okay?
03:05Sure thing.
03:06Then we'll all go over to the house and have a real chin-fest.
03:09Little does Bruce know that he left Storm Point at the wrong time.
03:13Let's take a quick trip up into the Dexter Mountains.
03:17Mayor, I think we ought to stand for that young fella.
03:21They've discovered another case of sickness in the village.
03:24I know, John, and this is getting mighty serious.
03:27Why he had to go off at the wrong time is more than I'll ever know.
03:31Well, I don't know.
03:32He told me he was sick.
03:33Well, I don't know.
03:34He told me he was sick.
03:35Well, I don't know.
03:36He told me he was sick.
03:37Well, I don't know.
03:38Well, I don't know.
03:39He told me he could do much good for this sick, him and his new-fangled ways of treating sickness.
03:44Oscar's got a point there, Mayor.
03:46The problem is we don't know what this sickness is.
03:50Maybe that young doctor of ours could tell us that much,
03:53and then Miss Jay and the other women folk could cure it with their way of doing things.
03:57Well, as far as I'm concerned, the old way is the best way.
04:01Women folk could do better than Dr. Bruce does.
04:04Why, when I wrenched my back, he stuck me under some machine, turned a couple of buttons,
04:11and then turned the buttons again later on and told me I'd feel better.
04:16You know how I got cured?
04:18Well, when I got home, the missus rubbed goose grease and turpentine in my back.
04:22That's what fixed me up.
04:24Well, I think we're getting off the subject, Oscar.
04:27We've got five cases of serious sickness here.
04:30What are we going to do about it?
04:32I suppose we ought to try to get a hold of Dr. Bruce.
04:36This might be some new disease.
04:38Well, it seems to me, John, that we've had nothing but new diseases since Dr. Bruce came here.
04:44And I think Miss Jane and the womenfolk would do just as well without him.
04:47I agree, Mayor.
04:49But just the same, I think I'd better go to the weather station and have them radio Knotty Pine.
04:54Yes, John, I suppose you'd better do that.
05:03Oh, man.
05:07Bruce should be through in half an hour.
05:09Then we can go home.
05:11I'm getting hungry.
05:12I guess I am too, pal.
05:14Talk about supper making mouth water.
05:16Me too, sonny.
05:18Oh, Stumpy, did you finally wake up?
05:20How long did you say before Bruce comes back?
05:23Bruce?
05:24How'd you know he was here?
05:26I thought you were asleep, and here you were pretending.
05:30You fellas were getting such a bang out of hearing me snore, I hated to wake up and disappoint you.
05:36Stumpy, you old fox.
05:38Hey, Bill, the radio call light is flashing.
05:41Oh, thanks, Henry.
05:43I wonder who's calling.
05:45Must be one of the fire towers.
05:46Who else could it be?
05:48Maybe a ranger has heard her sick.
05:52Weather station over.
05:54Hmm, something about a weather station.
05:56Well, then it's not one of our boys.
05:58He'll call again.
05:59Storm Point Weather Station calling Bill Jefferson.
06:01Come in, Bill. Over.
06:03Maybe somebody wants Bruce.
06:04We'll find out.
06:06Bill calling Storm Point Weather Station.
06:08Bill Jefferson calling Storm Point Weather Station.
06:11Over.
06:13Thank the Lord we got you, Bill.
06:15Is Dr. Bruce and Noddy behind? Over.
06:18Bruce left our office about 35 minutes ago.
06:21Over.
06:22You find him and tell him he's got to come here right away.
06:25Five cases of an unknown sickness have broken out here. Over.
06:29I'm sure we can find him, all right.
06:31He's probably at the medical supply house.
06:34Tell the people in the village we'll get him up there as quick as possible.
06:55You fellas wait in the car.
06:57I'll run in and tell Bruce the news.
07:00Oh, Henry, call the airport and reserve a helicopter for us.
07:03Okay, Bill.
07:11Oh, can I help you, Ranger?
07:13Yes, is Dr. Bruce Hummer here?
07:15Oh, he was here, Ranger, but he left about 10 minutes ago.
07:18Know where he went?
07:19Yeah, he went either to the Main Street Apothecary or Hudson's Pharmacy.
07:24He's after a new drug that we don't stock and both of those places have it shipped in special.
07:28I see. Which one do you think he went to first?
07:31I wouldn't know, sir. Dr. Hummer didn't say.
07:33You have the phone numbers handy?
07:35Yeah, it'll take just a minute to look them up.
07:37Okay, will you call both pharmacies and ask if he's been there?
07:41Tell him to stay where he is and we'll drive to both and catch him there.
07:44I'll be glad to, Ranger.
07:55The Main Street Apothecary is at 3rd and Main, isn't it, Bill?
07:58Yes, Bill. Step on it, but watch the intersections.
08:03Hey, that car coming against us! Got a doctor's sign on it!
08:08Maybe that Bruce, he have that kind of car.
08:11Yeah, it is Bruce. I can tell from here.
08:13I'll try to throw the light on him. Maybe he'll stop.
08:16No, it did not work. He not know it for him.
08:19Henry, turn the car around and chase him.
08:22I'll stop the traffic with the spotlight.
08:24Okay.
08:28Hey, don't run over the curbs, honey! You'll break the wheel off!
08:34Henry, catch Bruce in the next two blocks.
08:37We're halfway to the Copter Airport from here.
08:39Right.
08:44He sees us, Henry. He's pulling over.
08:53I'll get him, fellas.
08:57Were you trying to flash me down before, Bill?
08:59Yes, Bruce. It's an emergency.
09:01We got a radio call from Storm Point that five cases of a strange sickness have broken out there.
09:07They want you to come back right away.
09:09Sounds like an epidemic.
09:11Trouble is, it'll take me a whole day to drive back, even if the roads are okay in the mountains.
09:16I've got a helicopter waiting for us, Bruce.
09:18Well, the fellas finally have Dr. Bruce on his way.
09:21But let's find out what's happening at Storm Point.
09:24The mayor is talking to Miss Jane.
09:26She's a kindly lady who spends most of her time caring for the sick in a thousand and one ways.
09:32For the first time in a long time, she's going to be a doctor.
09:36She's going to be a doctor.
09:38She's going to be a doctor.
09:40She's going to be a doctor.
09:42She's going to be a doctor.
09:44She's going to be a doctor.
09:46She's going to be a doctor.
09:48For the unselfish service, she's loved by all of the villagers.
09:51Adults and small fry alike.
09:54Well, how are things coming along, Miss Jane?
09:56Not too good, mayor.
09:58My homemade remedies just don't seem to help this time.
10:02The Burgesses have two down in their family with this strange sickness.
10:06That makes seven now.
10:07Oh, I do wish Dr. Bruce would come back.
10:11He probably won't come.
10:12He's having too good a time in Knotty Pine.
10:15Besides, he probably won't be much help.
10:18Now, Mayor, I don't think Dr. Bruce went there for a good time at all.
10:23I know that most of the folks resent his new ideas.
10:26Why, he even scolded me several times for taking medicine into my hands, but...
10:30Yes, yes, I know.
10:32He's just as much as laughed the time Cy spit a chicken in half and put it over his son's rattlesnake bite.
10:38But after all, Mayor, he is a doctor.
10:41And didn't he come here to Stormpoint to help us?
10:43Maybe so. But when we need him, he isn't here.
10:46He went to get medical supplies, not a pleasure trip.
10:50Don't worry so much, Mayor. He'll get here as soon as he can.
11:05We'll be over Stormpoint in a few minutes, Bruce.
11:07Ah, good.
11:08I don't know if I'll be able to land, though.
11:11You won't be able to land.
11:13Why, Bill?
11:14Look down below.
11:15Hey, there's fog down there.
11:17Fog?
11:18Now, how do you suppose the fog got in the valley?
11:21Well, warm air must have been carried over the mountains and down into the valley.
11:25And the cold air above is like a blanket over it.
11:28But... but sure you're not going to turn back now, Bill.
11:32Not if I can help it, Bruce.
11:34There's one possibility of getting through that soup.
11:37Perhaps the boys at the weather station can talk us in.
11:42No!
11:50You think you can talk us in, Neil?
11:52I want to try it, Bill. I've got enough wire and my mic to stand outside.
11:56Let me go out and find out if I can hear you.
11:58Okay, Neil. I won't start in until you say so.
12:02I'm going outside now.
12:03I won't be able to hear you on the receiver when I'm out.
12:06Any instructions you want me to give you?
12:08You'll be able to hear the motors, all right.
12:10But I'm turning on the landing lights, too.
12:13If you can't see the landing lights over you, then we're fogged in silent.
12:18Okay, Bill. Stand by.
12:26Okay, Bill. I'm ready. I can hear you faintly.
12:29Here goes, fellas. I'm going in.
12:33Take it easy, sonny. Those rocks are pretty hard down there.
12:37Can't see your lights, Bill, but you're getting closer.
12:40Keep right on your present course.
12:42Boy, I sure hope he's got his hearing aid tuned to the right beamer.
12:46We'll be buzzard bait for sure.
12:48You're much closer now, Bill.
12:50I still can't see your lights yet.
12:52Can you drop down some more?
12:54I hope so, Neil, because we're coming down anyway.
12:59Well, we haven't hit anything yet.
13:01You're okay. Drop down some more.
13:03You'll be able to see your land right here on the street.
13:05All right, Neil. Here goes.
13:12Hey, Bill, I can see the street below us.
13:15Boy, that Neil can sure talk a street.
13:19I'm sure he's got his hearing aid tuned to the right beamer.
13:23I can see the street below us.
13:25Boy, that Neil can sure talk a straight beam.
13:38Neil, that was a terrific job. Thanks a lot.
13:41You'd better give me a sedative now, Doc.
13:43Now that it's over, I'm scared enough to have a nervous breakdown.
13:46And, Bill, don't ever ask me to do that again.
13:50Here come the villagers, Bruce.
13:52They seem pretty excited.
13:54All right, quiet. Quiet.
13:57Quiet, please. Quiet, please, everyone.
14:00Now, let's get control of ourselves.
14:04Mayor, do you know who the sick people are?
14:08I got the list right here, Doctor.
14:10It's in the order that they took sick.
14:12I want to see these people right away.
14:14Who's first on the list, Mayor?
14:16The Clift family.
14:18Mrs. and two children are sick.
14:20All right. The Clift family first.
14:23Let's go.
14:35Henry, you know where my office is, don't you?
14:38Oh, I sure do, Bruce. Can I get something for you?
14:41Yes. In the back room are some quarantine signs.
14:46Bring as many signs as you can carry that have typhoid fever on them.
14:51Typhoid fever?
14:53That's what it is.
14:55And I must say we never had sicknesses like this until you came here, Doctor.
15:01Yes, you did, Mayor.
15:02Before I came here, people just died.
15:05Nobody knew why.
15:07Now we do.
15:08Now we do.
15:09And we can stop it if we get it in time.
15:11Yeah, how do you expect to stop it?
15:13By the use of vaccine, Doctor, Mayor.
15:15Yeah, some more of that Newfangled treatment, eh?
15:18Well, it may be Newfangled to you, Mayor,
15:21but it saved the lives of countless thousands.
15:24And it'll save the lives of your villagers.
15:27Bill, will you have somebody go after vaccine?
15:31They've got plenty of knotty pine.
15:32Right away, Bruce.
15:34Stumpy, Graywolf,
15:36you fellas take off in the copter and get what Bruce wants.
15:40And also pick up the medical supplies he ordered if they're ready.
15:44We'll get them and be back plenty quick.
15:46Tell Neil to be ready to talk us in again if this fog ain't gone.
15:52Miss Jane, you've been very helpful.
15:56I'd suggest you get some rest before you come down with this, too.
15:59I don't need a rest, Doctor.
16:01Ah, but you do.
16:02Oh, please don't send me away, Doctor Bruce.
16:05I can be more helpful to you now.
16:08Well, all right.
16:11Let's go to the next house.
16:14Bill, will you and Henry see that those quarantine signs get nailed to the doors?
16:18Right.
16:19Better give me the list so we can follow along.
16:22If you need help, Bruce, just holler.
16:23I will.
16:24And watch for signs of hysteria among the villagers.
16:27Everybody's got to keep calm in a situation like this.
16:31Or there's no telling where it might end.
16:45Well, that family's all right now.
16:49Mayor, Miss Jane, you've got to get some sleep.
16:53I'll call you if any more cases break out.
16:55All right, Doctor.
16:57Now you be sure and call me now.
16:58I'll be angry if you don't.
17:00I'll do that, Miss Jane.
17:02Good night.
17:03Good night, Doctor.
17:04Rangers.
17:05Good night, Miss Jane.
17:09There, my friends, goes an angel in disguise.
17:13For years, he's ministered to the sick in this town.
17:16Never once thought of compensation.
17:19Typhoid fever is awfully miserable stuff, isn't it, Bruce?
17:23Yes, Bill.
17:25Not only can it make you miserable, but it can kill.
17:29I get the chill just thinking about those poor, suffering patients of yours.
17:34They'll be on the mend shortly, Henry.
17:36I got here just in time.
17:39Bruce, do you run into lots of resistance here?
17:42No, I don't.
17:44I got here just in time.
17:46Bruce, do you run into lots of resistance here with your modern methods of practicing?
17:51You're thinking about the mayor's remarks?
17:53Yeah.
17:54I thought so.
17:55Yes, Bill, the people here are resistant to modern medicine.
17:59Part of it is from superstition,
18:02and the rest from being shut off from the rest of the world two-thirds of the year.
18:07Miss Jane is my strongest supporter,
18:10and sometimes, well, even she reverts back to the primitive.
18:15I sensed that was about what was going on.
18:18Well, there's nothing we can do about it tonight.
18:21Hey, here comes Stephanie Graywolf.
18:23Yeah, and the fog's lifted.
18:25They'll be able to land all right.
18:26Oh, wonderful.
18:28Now we're prepared for anything that comes.
18:30After the fellows get here, we'll put on the feed bag and, well, then get some sleep.
18:35That sounds like an excellent idea.
18:37All in favor say aye.
18:39Aye.
18:47How's the Perkins baby look, Dr. Bruce?
18:50He is much improved today, Miss Jane.
18:59Those youngsters don't sound like they're sick, Bruce.
19:03Well, if they are, they're the healthiest sick youngsters I've ever treated.
19:08Well, let's go on to the next house.
19:15Mrs. Clift can be up and around in two days, Miss Jane.
19:19Nothing strenuous, mind you.
19:21Just sitting around the house.
19:23That's wonderful news, Doctor.
19:25I'll keep an eye on her so she won't overdo.
19:33Bill, good news.
19:35I think the epidemic is over.
19:37We've got a new case in ten days.
19:39That's a real morale booster, Bruce.
19:41I guess now we can go back to Knotty Pine.
19:44You're welcome to stay.
19:46Let's go back to the office and talk.
19:58My old bones sure appreciate finding a chair.
20:02We go pretty hard for several days now.
20:05I'll have you know it's been ten whole days, Sonny.
20:08I'm too beat to care whether it's ten or a thousand.
20:11I'll get the coffee pot humming in a few minutes, fellas.
20:14Sure nice to have your company.
20:16We're glad to have been able to help, Bruce.
20:18I'll say. It's been a real experience.
20:20You're going to get some more experience, I'm thinking.
20:23What do you mean, Stumpy?
20:25Well, the way the mayor's galloping up the walk, you'd think a grizzly bear was chasing him.
20:30Looks like more trouble to me.
20:33Hey, Dr. Bruce.
20:35Three more cases of typhoid fever have broken out.
20:38Let's go, fellas.
20:47Bill, let's hustle off down the street.
20:50I don't want anyone to hear what I'm saying.
20:52Okay, Bruce. Come along, Henry.
20:54Go ahead. I'll catch up.
20:58What's on your mind, Bruce?
21:00Did you notice anything strange about these three cases, Bill?
21:06No, I can't say that I did, Bruce.
21:09However, I'm not a doctor.
21:11Here, hold my bag a while, will you?
21:13I want to show you something on paper.
21:15Okay.
21:18Now, look here.
21:21I've drawn a rough map of the village.
21:24Yeah.
21:25Where I'm putting the X marks is where the ten cases of typhoid fever have broken out.
21:32Say, they're pretty well spread out, aren't they?
21:35I'd say they cover the whole town.
21:37That's just the point, Bill.
21:39You mean because they're spread out, this makes a different pattern than most epidemics?
21:44This is not an epidemic, Bill.
21:47Are you joking, Bruce?
21:48No, not in the least.
21:50I think somebody's carrying the fever wherever they go and contact people.
21:55Bruce, that's terrible.
21:57That means some one person is responsible.
22:00Exactly.
22:01Someone who's carrying the bacteria in their body and contaminating everything they touch.
22:08How can you be sure, Bruce?
22:10Bill, epidemics aren't sporadic like this.
22:14They start in a limited area and then spread out.
22:17These cases are already spotted all over the physical area of Storm Point.
22:22I see what you mean.
22:24How are we going to find out who it is?
22:28It's got to be very carefully done.
22:31But I think we can get all of you rangers to make a survey of the homes where the fever's broken out.
22:37Why do you suppose those rangers are going around and taking all the names of everybody who's been inside the sick homes, Mayor?
22:52Man, I wish I knew, John.
22:54It's some more of that fool doctor's work.
22:57Maybe we ought to stop him.
22:59Man, I've been thinking about that, Oscar.
23:01Pretty soon I'm going to put my thoughts into action.
23:04And we'll clamp down on this fella.
23:16Well, let's add up the score, fellas.
23:19All right, spread out the papers so we can look at the names.
23:22Okay.
23:24Now what?
23:26Our job, of course, is to see if we can find the same name on more than one piece of paper.
23:33I see Mayor's name on two pieces of paper.
23:36I hear John's on two.
23:38Oscar's on four of them.
23:40But there doesn't seem to be any of them on the whole lot.
23:44Bill, what are you thinking about?
23:48You aren't paying much attention.
23:50Bruce, what would a throat culture of the person who is carrying this disease show?
23:56Why, if we took the culture from the tonsils, it would show active typhoid fever bacteria.
24:02And can you see those bacteria through a microscope when they're placed on a slide?
24:06Yes, you can.
24:08We can do better than that.
24:10We can project upon a screen a picture of those bacteria magnified millions of times.
24:14You mean so that hundreds of people in an auditorium can see them?
24:18Yes, that's what I mean.
24:19That's wonderful.
24:21Let's get some cultures from the throats of these folks listed.
24:24Have the Mayor call all the townspeople together tonight in the Village Hall at 7.30.
24:30We may have something to show them.
24:45It looks like everybody in town's here except the sick, Bill.
24:49Good.
24:50You got the projector all set up for these slides, Bruce?
24:52All set, Bill, whenever you're ready.
24:54Okay.
24:56Well, folks, probably all of you are wondering just why we asked you to come here tonight.
25:04That's right, Ranger.
25:05There's no need for alarm, but there are some things you should know, and this is the time for you to find out.
25:11All right, sure. What's that?
25:13Whether you know it or not, the village of Stormpoint is in a very dangerous spot.
25:18There's a severe epidemic of typhoid fever waiting to break out among you at any time.
25:24Fortunately, through the efforts of this young doctor of yours, Dr. Bruce Hummer, that epidemic has been held in check.
25:33The doctor states that all the typhoid fever cases broken out so far in Stormpoint have resulted from one person carrying this disease to many others,
25:44and yet not himself being affected.
25:49Now, this kind of thing is well known to medical science.
25:53Our job is to find out who was responsible, and today we found out.
26:01Now we want you to find out also, and we're going to do it by means of pictures.
26:07Pictures of the actual typhoid fever bacteria.
26:11First, as found in the throats of one of your townspeople, now lying dreadfully ill.
26:17Then a picture of the same deadly bacteria as found in the throat of the one who was innocently carrying the same deadly germ.
26:28Now the first picture I want to show you is a laboratory culture of the typhoid fever.
26:35The next picture is of the culture taken from the throat of the carrier.
26:40This person is in this room now.
26:47Oh, they're the same.
26:49I can tell by your reaction that you will recognize both cultures as the same.
26:54Am I right?
26:55Yes.
26:56Who is the person, Bill?
26:58Who is the person, Bill?
27:00Yes, we have a right to know, even if it's me.
27:03That person has to be taken away. He's a menace to the whole village.
27:07Now will you tell us who this person is?
27:11The person carrying typhoid fever bacteria is a wonderful friend to all of you.
27:18It's Miss Jane.
27:21This is certainly a surprise to me, but I'll be glad to go to a hospital.
27:26No, no, we can't take her away.
27:29Listen, folks. Listen.
27:31Listen, everyone. Listen. Listen.
27:33Please, please don't feel I'll be harmed.
27:36I'm sure that Dr. Hummer and Ranger Bill know best.
27:51Well, Miss Jane, how do you like Naughty Pine Hospital?
27:55It's fine, Bill. It's just like a vacation.
27:58I don't feel sick at all.
28:00It's hard to believe I make everybody else sick.
28:02Well, you won't anymore, Miss Jane.
28:05Lab tests are beginning to show negative.
28:07Now, that's wonderful news, Bruce.
28:09And Miss Jane, pretty soon you and Dr. Bruce can be back at your favorite job of helping others.
28:15Better than that, Bill.
28:17There's no more typhoid fever in Storm Point.
28:20The town folks have come to realize what Dr. Bruce has done for them.
28:25Bill, how did you know Miss Jane was the carrier?
28:30Well, because she was the only one not mentioned on the lists, Bruce.
28:34Yet I knew she'd been in all the infected homes because of her kind ways of helping others.
28:41The thing was, nobody we talked to seemed to count her as a visitor.
28:46She was more like a member of the family or an old friend.
28:49And she was the obvious one because her name was conspicuous by its absence.
28:55And that's the greatest tribute Miss Jane could ever receive.
29:09Well, who would have guessed that Miss Jane was making everybody sick that came close to her?
29:15Thanks to Bill and his rangers, Miss Jane can go back to helping others without being dangerous to them.
29:21See you next week for more adventure with...
29:24Ranger Bill!
