Transcript
00:00Snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.
00:16Say, have you ever known people who somehow were always in hot water?
00:21Oh, nothing serious, but, well, they're just a little bit on the daring side.
00:26They think after it's too late.
00:29Some folks call them foolhardy, others call them a nuisance.
00:33Nevertheless, it seems that this type of individual pulls one harebrained stunt after another.
00:40And that's a perfect description of Norman Marks.
00:43He never took anything serious, never had an ounce of responsibility in his blood.
00:49Then suddenly, Norm got into more trouble than a barrel of monkeys.
00:53And here's how it happened.
00:55Listen to the story of The Reckless Driver.
01:01Two young fellows, Norman Marks and his friend Jack Sanders, are just about to leave for Canyon City.
01:07Jack is a quiet fellow, much more conservative than Norm.
01:11And as they stand talking, it's plain to see that Jack is a little worried.
01:17Norm, do you really think we ought to drive to Canyon City tonight?
01:20Oh, sure, why not?
01:22Why, it's darker than the inside of a closet.
01:24I've got good lights on the car. What more do we want?
01:28Oh, but these, these mountain roads, they're hard to drive at night.
01:31What's the matter, Jack? You scared or something?
01:34Oh, no, but, along the way you drive, I...
01:37Now you're talking like my folks.
01:40You don't have to go if you don't want to.
01:42Oh, it's not that, but...
01:43Okay, then, jump in and we'll be on our way.
01:46All right, but I wish you'd keep this crate down to driving speed for a change.
01:51You think we're going to take off and fly, huh?
01:53Sometimes I think so.
01:55Don't worry, everything's under control.
02:13Come on, Henry, let's go.
02:15I'm coming, Bill, just a sec.
02:17What's keeping you?
02:18Oh, the zipper in my jacket's stuck.
02:20Well, fix it in the car.
02:22What are you in such a big rush to get to Canyon City for?
02:24Mitch Freeman's there, Henry. I've got to talk to him before he goes east again.
02:28Well, you pick a nice, dark night to go over the mountains.
02:31So you don't trust me.
02:33He's an old classmate of yours, isn't he?
02:35Old? How old do you think I am?
02:38Get in the car with him.
02:39Okay.
02:40Got your zipper fixed yet?
02:42Nope, now my shirt's stuck in it, too.
02:44Oh, Henry, a fine mechanic you are.
02:47Oh, don't be picky-oony.
02:49All I need now is a left-handed screwdriver.
03:07Hey, Norm, take it easy, fella.
03:09You're not on the salt flats.
03:11Ah, there you go, worrying again.
03:13I've got the car under control, haven't I?
03:16I hope so.
03:17Hang onto your seat. I'm going to take the short cut.
03:20It's all right with me if you keep that heavy foot off the gas.
03:23I'm going to slow down on this road, Jack.
03:26Honest?
03:27Honest.
03:28Too many sharp turns?
03:29Yeah.
03:30Man, believe it or not, I'm not going out of my way to meet an accident.
03:35Hey, you really did slow down, didn't you?
03:37You said it first, Jack. We're not on the salt flats.
03:47Hey, Bill, are you taking the short cut to Canyon City?
03:50Yeah, not a bad road if you take it easy, Henry.
03:53No, and it knocks off about ten miles.
03:55Right.
03:56It's only an hour's drive this way.
03:59Well, wake me up when we get there, will you?
04:03Sure, if we don't hit a bump first.
04:16So, there's the situation.
04:18Two young fellas, easing along at a moderate speed, without a care in the world.
04:23And two rangers on an errand of business, taking the short cut through the mountains.
04:29Unknown to any of them, about half a mile along the Canyon City road, there's been a rock slide.
04:35And two state troopers, Neil Crown and Harry McCormick, have set up a barricade 300 feet in front of the slide.
04:42The two troopers are standing a lonesome night watch nearby.
04:49Ah, this fire feels good, Henry.
04:54Yes, it does.
04:57I wouldn't be surprised if we got snow sometime tonight.
05:01It certainly feels like it, doesn't it?
05:03Well, the moon will be up in a couple hours. It'll be a little more cheerful.
05:07Yeah, if it weren't for the fire, you can hardly see your hand in front of your face.
05:12That's for sure.
05:14Say, I wonder how many cars ever take this road at night.
05:18You know, I've been thinking the same thing.
05:22Pretty dangerous, if you ask me.
05:24Yeah, sure is. Swinging around these hairpin turns, your headlights don't do you much good.
05:30Hey, what do you know? A customer.
05:32Yeah. Maybe we'll have somebody to talk to.
05:36We'll have to go back, that's sure.
05:39Oh, I'd better check the lantern.
05:42Oh, be careful of that thing, Neil. It might blow up on you.
05:45That'll be one way to get warm, huh?
05:47Yeah. Now let me walk out there with you. Nothing else to do.
05:52The lantern's okay. You should be able to...
05:55Neil! Neil, look out! Neil!
06:02Norm, you hit somebody!
06:04Hey, what's he talking about? He's a band-aid!
06:07No, no. You hit a state trooper. There he is on the ground.
06:18Hey, Bill. There's a car ahead of us.
06:21I just saw his lights hit the rocks as he went around the bend.
06:24Yeah, I saw him too, pal. About half a mile ahead.
06:27Traveling at a pretty safe speed, I'd say.
06:30Oh, well, wake me up when we get to Canyon City.
06:33Don't tell me that, Henry. You're too nosy to sleep, and you know it.
06:37Yeah, I guess you're right.
06:40Say, what hotel did Mitch put up at?
06:42What hotel? I didn't know there was more than one in Canyon City.
06:46Well, there are two of them now.
06:48Since when?
06:49Boy, I see you don't keep up on the latest news. It was in the paper.
06:53Where?
06:55Down at the bottom of the third page, about three lights.
06:58I only read the big print.
07:00Oh, I see. Well, here's that bend I saw that car go around.
07:04It's probably gone around six more since then.
07:07Yeah, I suppose so. Hey, Bill, look out!
07:12Get out, pal. There's something wrong up there.
07:15Yeah, it looks like an accident.
07:22Hey, Bill, there's a man lying on the ground. That car must have run over him.
07:26Great Scott. It's a trooper.
07:29Hey, will you fellas give me a hand? My partner, he's hurt badly.
07:33Sure. Hey, it's Harry McCormick.
07:36Bill Jefferson. Boy, am I glad to see you.
07:39Who is it on the ground, Harry?
07:40Neil Crown.
07:41Uh-oh. You give Neil first aid, Harry. Henry and I'll rig a stretcher.
07:46Okay. Keep your eye on those two roughnecks, will you?
07:49That tall one is the fellow that ran Neil down.
08:00Just a little bit more. That's it.
08:04That's good, fellas.
08:06Be sure the stretcher is resting squarely in back.
08:09Boy, that wasn't easy, putting it over the top of the seats.
08:13Yeah, Neil's pretty heavy.
08:16Oh, where are those two lads?
08:18They're standing by their car, waiting.
08:20Hey, you two. Come over here.
08:22Yes, sir.
08:23Get in the front seat of the ranger's car.
08:26What do you want us to do?
08:28You fellow are under arrest.
08:30Reckless driving.
08:32Your friend is a material witness.
08:34Under arrest?
08:36I didn't even see the other trooper on the barricade, either.
08:39Ah, yeah. The judge will like that story.
08:41He's right, officer. I didn't see him, either.
08:43Norm wasn't driving fast.
08:45Oh, you two have your story all set, haven't you?
08:47Harry, you better save this for later.
08:49Neil needs to be taken to a hospital.
08:51Right. Let's go.
08:53You and Henry sit in the back seat.
08:55Keep Neil from rolling off the stretcher.
08:57You two lads get in the front seat with me.
08:59Okay, hop to it.
09:09Those two young whippersnappers got themselves into deep water this time.
09:14Of course, you might know it would be with Norman around.
09:17Uh, Norman plenty careless.
09:19Never listened to advice. Always take chance.
09:22Now he wished maybe he listened.
09:24That's right, Werewolf.
09:26The funny part about it is that when we saw the...
09:28Hey, Bill. Here comes Harry.
09:35How's Neil, Harry?
09:37That's a good. Condition critical, they say.
09:40I'm sure it's sorry to hear that.
09:42Did they say what chance he has of making the grade?
09:45Well, doctor says he's got a 50-50 chance to pull through.
09:50Where is he injured the most, Harry?
09:52It's his chest, Bill.
09:54It's his chest, Bill. It's crushed.
09:58Man, that's serious.
10:00Yeah, you're telling me.
10:04You leaving, Harry?
10:06There's nothing I can do at the moment.
10:08I'm going to file my report.
10:10I'll be back in a little while.
10:12What are you charging Norman Marks with, Harry?
10:14Reckless driving.
10:17And if Neil dies, it's manslaughter.
10:25Oh.
10:33Well, it looks like Norm's in for it.
10:36The report that State Trooper Harry McCormick's going to file is pretty serious.
10:41Right now, let's visit Norm at the Knotty Pine jail
10:44where he's being held until the judge sets bond for his freedom.
10:48Norm's dad and the lawyer are talking to the lad.
10:51His friend Jack is there, too.
10:55Norman, this is Alfred Cassidy, lawyer.
10:58He's going to try to defend you in court.
11:00Hello, Mr. Cassidy.
11:02Hello, Norman.
11:04Dad, you talk like I'm guilty of this.
11:06I don't know whether you're guilty or not,
11:09but I do know that you've scoffed time and again
11:12at any advice I've given you about being more careful.
11:15Now here we are again.
11:17Honest, Dad, I didn't see the trooper or the barricade.
11:21Ask Jack.
11:22That's right, Mr. Marks.
11:24We were on top of him before we could see a thing.
11:26I'd like to believe that, but I just can't.
11:29Now listen, all three of you.
11:31I don't want any of you to talk to a soul about the accident
11:34until I'm ready for you to talk.
11:36I want to get all the facts first.
11:38You can talk about anything else, but not about the accident, understand?
11:42We want Norman to be protected as fully as the law allows.
11:46Okay, Mr. Cassidy.
11:48I'd like to have a word with you privately, Mr. Cassidy.
11:51Certainly. We can talk in the sheriff's office.
11:54See you in the morning, Norman. You too, Jack.
11:57Okay, good night.
11:58Good night, sir.
12:08Tell me, uh, what's your candid opinion, Mr. Cassidy?
12:12Well, uh, without all the facts at hand,
12:15I can't give you a straight answer, Mr. Marks.
12:18However, I have read the report of the arresting officer.
12:21Yes?
12:22Circumstantial evidence is all against your boy.
12:34Whoa, Storm. Take it easy, big boy.
12:37We'll hit the trail soon.
12:39You fellas about ready?
12:41Easy does it, miss.
12:42Stand still.
12:43I'll be ready in a second, Bill.
12:45Say, I'm wondering how Norm's making out.
12:47I don't know.
12:48I talked with the sheriff last night.
12:50Looks like Norm's in a bad spot.
12:52Tildy! Stop pawing the ground!
12:55If you step on my foot, I'll give you a fat eye.
12:59That young fella didn't have a reputation
13:01for being such a reckless scallywag.
13:04He'd be a lot better off now.
13:06Folks are against him.
13:07Ah, you speak truth.
13:09Many people in town say he at last gets what he asks for.
13:13The question is, is he really guilty?
13:15Guilty? What else could he be, sonny?
13:18Harry's a good trooper, and he's so at all.
13:21You wouldn't lie about a thing like that.
13:23Yeah, I know, but do you think Harry might have
13:26stretched a point or two because his partner got hurt?
13:29Not Harry. He always fared.
13:31Well, it's too bad, but there's not much we can do about it.
13:35It's out of our hands.
13:37Let's go, fellas.
13:38Come on, Storm.
13:42Come on.
13:51Hello, Mr. Cassidy.
13:53Did you find out anything that will help me?
13:55Good morning, Norman, Jack, Mr. Marx.
13:58Good morning, sir.
14:00Norman, are you sure you've told me the truth?
14:05On my word of honor, Mr. Cassidy, I have.
14:08No, the reason I ask is because a lie won't do you a bit of good.
14:14What do you mean by that, Mr. Cassidy?
14:16Well, Mr. Marx, I've read and reread the arresting officer's report
14:20of the accident.
14:22And I myself went to the scene of the accident.
14:25What did you find out?
14:26Somebody's not telling the truth.
14:29You were telling the truth, Norman?
14:32Dad, I know I've been wrong in the past.
14:35I know I've told some wild stories, but this time I'm telling the truth.
14:40Even if I were standing before the Lord, I would say the same thing.
14:44I didn't see Officer Crown or the barricade.
14:47That's the truth.
14:48On my word of honor, I say the same thing.
14:51Yeah, all right, son.
14:53I believe you.
14:54Now, there's only one thing we can do,
14:56and that's to find some evidence that's been missed.
15:00I think I'll start at the hospital.
15:05♪♪
15:10You say it won't be possible to talk to Officer Crown for several days, Doctor.
15:15That's right, Mr. Cassidy.
15:18You see, his condition hasn't changed.
15:21He's hanging between life and death.
15:23We've got a 24-hour watch on him.
15:26I hope he pulls through for his family's sake and for Norman's.
15:30He still has only a 50-50 chance.
15:34Oh, um, here comes his partner, Trooper McCormick.
15:37Yes, I know, Harry.
15:39He's taking this pretty hard.
15:41Yes, the men have worked together for many years.
15:45Hello, Doc.
15:47Mr. Cassidy.
15:48Good morning, Harry.
15:49Hello, McCormick. How's Neil, Doc?
15:51Still the same, Harry.
15:53When's the crisis?
15:55Probably around noon tomorrow.
15:58All right, see you.
16:01Mr. Cassidy, I hear you're defending young Marks.
16:04That's right, Harry.
16:06Don't you think you're wasting your time?
16:08No, I don't think so, else I wouldn't be on the case.
16:11Well, I'm going to see to it that the judge throws a book at that young fella.
16:14And it's my job to see that he gets the protection of the law to the full.
16:18Yeah?
16:19Well, the evidence proves that he's guilty.
16:21Circumstantial evidence, yes, I'll admit to that.
16:24But somewhere an important piece of evidence has been missed.
16:27I believe Norman's telling the truth.
16:30You believe Norman Marks?
16:32You know what his reputation is?
16:34Yes, I do.
16:35And I also know that there comes a time when everybody does tell the truth, Harry.
16:41I'll see you before the judge in the morning.
16:43Right.
16:44I sure hope the judge refuses bail.
16:47I'll lock up that young fella and throw the key away.
16:58The next case...
17:00Your Honor, the next case is the State versus Norman Marks.
17:03Oh, yes.
17:04Is the attorney for the defense here?
17:07I'm the attorney for the defense, Your Honor.
17:09Oh, yes, Mr. Cassidy.
17:11Well, on looking over the evidence available,
17:14I'd say the State has an airtight case against this lad.
17:18I set his trial one week from Monday.
17:21What is the bail to be posted for my client's freedom until the trial, Your Honor?
17:25I'm sorry, there won't be any bail, Mr. Cassidy.
17:27If it pleases the court, I'd like to set the trial date sooner.
17:30I request denied.
17:32This court wants to wait until it is known whether Trooper Crown will live or die.
17:44It really looks like Norman's going to get the book thrown at him, doesn't it?
17:48Now let's catch up with Bill and the fellas.
17:50They're heading back to town after being out on the trail several days.
17:55Well, I'm glad we're going back home, Bill.
17:58I'm anxious to find out how Norman's making out.
18:01I've been thinking a lot about him.
18:03So have I, pal.
18:05The Lord's really put Norman on my mind.
18:07That must be right, because we head for a place where accidents take place.
18:11Hey, we're just going to see the same thing, young fella.
18:15Why are you heading for the Canyon City Road, Bill?
18:18I want to take a look at the scene of the accident.
18:21I want to take a look at the scene of the accident.
18:24You saw it before, didn't you?
18:26I want to look again, Henry.
18:28And Harry's report gives all the facts, doesn't it?
18:30Presumably, yeah, but I want to recheck them.
18:33You mean Harry may have stretched a point or two?
18:36I don't mean that at all, pal.
18:38Something has been bothering me.
18:41Now you tell us, maybe.
18:43Now we know something was on your mind by the way you acted.
18:47Do you think some important facts have been left out of the picture, Bill?
18:50Well, I don't know.
18:52Let's wait until we get there and take a look.
18:55And I'll be able to tell.
18:57Well, what's the one thing that keeps bothering you, Bill?
19:00Well, it's this.
19:02Harry, Norman, and Jack were all involved in the accident.
19:06They all seem to be telling the truth.
19:09And why does Norman and Jack's story differ so radically from Harry's?
19:14Ah, that's plenty hard to tell.
19:16Well, that's why I'm going there, to find out.
19:19After we stop at the scene of the accident, we'll head back home.
19:35It's sure good to be home again.
19:37The place looks the same.
19:39Yep, except for that fellow sitting over there in the corner.
19:42Him not here when we leave.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Hello, Mr. Cassidy.
19:47Howdy, Mr. Cassidy.
19:49Hello, Al.
19:50You can tell these fellows haven't been working very hard.
19:53They're full of monkey business.
19:56It seems that you fellows always seem to be able to laugh,
20:00no matter how serious the situation is.
20:03I wish I could do that.
20:05You can, Al.
20:06I can? What's the secret?
20:08No secret.
20:09You just put complete trust in the Lord and let Him work things out according to His plan.
20:14Ah, yes.
20:15Ahem.
20:16I see.
20:17Well, I hope this formula you have works out for what I'm about to ask you.
20:23Go ahead and ask, Al.
20:24I'll do the best I can.
20:25That's right, Al.
20:27We've got a motto around here.
20:29The difficult things we do ourselves.
20:32But only the Lord can do the impossible.
20:34So we give that to Him.
20:36Well, I'm afraid that I'm going to ask the impossible.
20:39Let's hear it, Al.
20:40Yeah, tell us, Al.
20:42Can you help me find evidence that will prove Norman Marks innocent of these charges?
20:47Uh-oh.
20:48Yes, Al.
20:50I can give you evidence that will clear Norman.
20:53Well, what the...
20:54Tell us.
20:55Hey, close your tater traps.
20:57Let Bill and Al talk.
20:59Oh, Bill, you wouldn't joke with an old friend on something as serious as this.
21:03Have I ever, Al?
21:04No, but...
21:05Well, are you sure?
21:06Don't build up our hopes unless you are.
21:09Will it stand up in court?
21:10It'll stand up in court.
21:12Only I want to get this over with before the trial.
21:15What can I do to help, Bill?
21:17Bring Norman, Mr. Marks, and Jack out at the scene of the accident right after dark this evening.
21:22I'll bring Harry McCormick and the rest of my boys.
21:25Okay, we'll be there, Bill.
21:40Maybe Harry's over at the hospital, Bill.
21:50He's there, Henry.
21:53McCormick speaking.
21:55Harry, this is Bill.
21:57Oh, how are you, Bill?
21:58Nice to hear your voice.
21:59How's Neil?
22:00Well, I'm glad to say he's improving.
22:03He passed the crisis.
22:05Doc said he'll be off the critical list in a day or two.
22:08Oh, that's wonderful.
22:10Harry, will you take a ride with me out to the scene of the accident right after dark?
22:15Why?
22:16Does Cassidy got you in on this, too?
22:19I told him he couldn't get Mark off this time.
22:22The judge will throw the book at him.
22:23You still haven't answered my question, old boy.
22:26I don't see why it's necessary to go through the whole thing again.
22:29What's the purpose, anyhow?
22:31To prove Norman innocent.
22:32What?
22:33Man, either you're joking or else you're out of your mind.
22:36Neither, Harry.
22:37What do you say?
22:38I don't think so, Bill.
22:40Just a waste of time.
22:42As a personal favor?
22:46Well, all right, Bill. I'll do it.
22:49Thanks, Harry.
22:50I'll pick you up in about 45 minutes.
22:52Okay, Bill. I'll see you then.
22:54See you then.
23:05Well, the barricade's set up just like it was the night of the accident, Bill.
23:09All right.
23:10The lantern's just like it was then?
23:12Uh, yeah.
23:13The barricade's in the same place, Harry?
23:16Exactly the same place, Cassidy.
23:18You sure?
23:19Positive.
23:20Norman, Jack, will you come here, please?
23:23Yeah, sure, Bill.
23:25How fast were you going down this road, Norman?
23:28About 35 miles an hour.
23:30Not any faster.
23:32You agree, Jack?
23:33Yes, Bill.
23:34I remember Norman and I talked about reducing speed on this road because of the bad turns.
23:39Harry, will you take my car and go back down the road about half a mile?
23:43And drive up to the barricade like you think Norman did?
23:46I'd be glad to, Bill.
23:48Hey, Bill, what are you up to?
23:50You'll see when Harry drives the car up to the barricade.
23:53Are you sure this is going to prove something, Bill?
23:56Just be patient.
24:21Harry drives the car a half mile down the road.
24:25He turns around and starts back toward the barricade.
24:37Harry watches the speedometer to be sure he's going the same speed that Norman did.
24:44Meanwhile, Bill hears the car approaching and he walks out in front of the barricade,
24:48stoops down over the ladder just as Neil did when Norman was driving.
24:54Suddenly, the car rounds the turn.
24:56Bill's still crouched over the ladder.
24:58Henry yells,
24:59Look out, Bill!
25:00Bill suddenly stands up right in front of the approaching car.
25:05Great Scott, Bill. I almost ran over you.
25:07What? Didn't you see me crouched over the light?
25:09No, I didn't see you or the light.
25:10Didn't you see the barricade?
25:11No.
25:12Well, neither did Norman.
25:14What?
25:16I...
25:19Bill, I...
25:21I've made a terrible mistake.
25:24Norman couldn't possibly have seen Neil.
25:26Why not, Harry?
25:27Well, the car was coming slightly upgrade around the turn,
25:30and Neil was covering the ladder with his body.
25:34Norman, I...
25:36I'm terribly sorry.
25:38I've done you a great injustice.
25:41I can see now this was purely an accident.
25:44You're innocent.
25:47I withdraw the charge.
25:58Well, I've learned a lot, Bill.
26:01This experience has knocked some seriousness into my head.
26:05You don't know how grateful I am for what you've done.
26:08And that goes for me too, Bill.
26:10Thanks so much for helping us.
26:13I'm the one who's more grateful than anybody.
26:16I unknowingly accused an innocent man.
26:20I wish I could make this up to you some way, Norman.
26:23I think you and Norm are even, Harry.
26:26How do you mean, Bill?
26:27Well, even though this has been a rugged experience,
26:31Norman's learned he's got to be responsible and protect his reputation.
26:37And you've learned that circumstantial evidence can be wrong.
26:41Well, you can say that again.
26:44Tell me, Bill.
26:46How did you figure this out?
26:48Well, the contradiction between your stories really disturbed me, Harry.
26:53Then I remembered that when Henry and I drove up,
26:56I had to slam on my brakes rather hard.
26:59And the taillights in Norm's car were on then.
27:03That started a chain reaction.
27:06Then Al came to see us, so I thought we would try out my idea.
27:11A great piece of deduction.
27:14I got to hand it to you, Bill.
27:17You must have some kind of a secret formula for this.
27:21No, no secret formula, Al.
27:24It's the Bible, which all men can read.
27:28Whenever I get a tough problem, I remember Proverbs 3.5.
27:32Yes, what's that?
27:33Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
27:36and lean not unto thine own understanding.
27:52Bill certainly has a good formula, as Al Cassidy calls it.
27:56It's a verse of scripture that all of us should use more often.
27:59And certainly Bill proved that facts can give us the wrong picture
28:03unless we have all of them.
28:05We'll see you next week for more adventure with...
28:08Ranger Bill!
