00:00Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:03Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:07Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:10With his little sister, Calamity.
00:16Buffalo Bill Jr. brings you exciting action.
00:23Drilled and plowed with Judge Ben Ferron Square.
00:29Wiley.
00:31Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill Jr.
00:50In the 20 years following the Civil War,
00:53the government's efforts to place the Indians on reservations
00:56met with a savage resistance
00:59that left the homes of the pioneers in smoke and ruin
01:02and hard-pressed the thin line of cavalry
01:05that sought to keep the peace.
01:07A peace which only needed the spark of discontent
01:10to fan it into violent warfare.
01:13At this crucial period, the Paiutes sent their tribal fund to Washington
01:17to be converted into government bonds.
01:19But when the delivery of those bonds was long delayed,
01:22the Indians began to grow suspicious and restless.
01:26That was when all the trouble started,
01:28which was to involve me, Judge Ben Ferron Square Wiley,
01:32Buffalo Bill Jr., and his sister, Calamity,
01:35not to mention Captain Corey Heath.
01:39Any news from the courier yet?
01:41Not yet, sir.
01:42You know, Ferris, if we don't get those bonds to the Paiutes
01:44within the next 24 hours,
01:46those red devils are going to start painting themselves for war.
01:48Did you see Chief Tanaka yet, sir?
01:50Yeah, I've been talking with my hands for the past two hours.
01:53He doesn't think he's going to be able to hold those young hot bloods much longer.
01:56Can't say I blame him.
01:58Those bonds represent all the money the Paiutes have in this world.
02:01That courier should have arrived in Prescott four days ago, sir.
02:05Ferris, have Johnson wire every telegraph operator, station agent, and fort
02:09from Prescott to the Grand Canyon.
02:10Alert them to watch for a military courier from Washington.
02:12Report to me the instant he's sighted.
02:14Yes, sir.
02:16Oh, and Ferris,
02:18tell them to keep an eye out for Johnny Ringo.
02:20Johnny Ringo?
02:22If those two meet, all we'll ever find is one dead courier.
02:48Now, that's darn right unsociable.
02:59He doesn't even know me, does he, Chief?
03:18Let's go.
03:48Let's try SOS.
03:50Okay.
03:52Dot, dot, dot.
03:53Pause.
03:54Dash, dash, dash.
03:55Pause.
03:56Dot, dot, dot.
03:57Good.
03:58You'll be a telegrapher yet.
03:59I wish I could send a real message on a real key, Larry.
04:10Larry, why are the Rangers at Calamity?
04:14Bill!
04:15What are you doing here?
04:16Now, Bill, just a minute.
04:18You know you're not supposed to be here bothering Larry.
04:20I'm not bothering him.
04:21You're supposed to go straight home after school.
04:23I can go home by myself.
04:24You better not.
04:25Hey, will you two stop fighting over me?
04:27Oh, no, you don't.
04:29Just wait till I tell Uncle Ben.
04:31Captain Dale.
04:32Wait.
04:34Little girl, I'm not going to take...
04:35Listen.
04:40Can you read that stuff?
04:42Sure.
04:44Captain Corey Heath wants a watch kept for military courier.
04:50Report at once if cited.
04:54Also, information concerning the whereabouts of Johnny Ringo.
05:00Ringo?
05:04Say, that must be the fellow that took a shot at me about an hour ago.
05:07Shot at you?
05:08Yeah.
05:09Where, Bill?
05:10Up in the Cloudy Hills by the Owen Ranch.
05:12That's where I wonder why the rangers.
05:14He probably took me for a ranger or a scout.
05:17I'd better know the fact, Captain Heath.
05:19Can you give me a description?
05:20No, I wasn't close enough to see his face.
05:22But he was dressed like Johnny Ringo.
05:24Just tell him that Buffalo Bill Jr. had a brush with him.
05:34Hey, come back here.
05:38One of the judge calls her calamity.
05:57There you are.
05:58Sheared as pretty as a spring lamb.
06:01Now, let me see what that'll be.
06:03That's a haircut, two bits.
06:04Legal advice, two bucks.
06:06Two bucks?
06:07All that did was ask your opinion about that matter of my boner line.
06:11Well, the opinion of a judge constitutes legal advice.
06:14And if you so much as open your mouth, Yan McDougal, I'll double the price.
06:19Give me that.
06:23Oh, hello, Mr. McDougal.
06:28What's the matter with him?
06:29Oh, he just thought he'd get a little free legal advice.
06:33But I figured the mauls in his pocketbook needed a little airing.
06:37Oh, Uncle Ben, you've just got to talk to Bill.
06:40What's he done now?
06:41Well, he's acting like a brother.
06:44Oh, that's bad.
06:46And to hear him talk, you'd think he was Buffalo Bill himself.
06:50Is that so?
06:52Well, I can track as good as he can, and I can ride and shoot like he can.
06:55Which don't make you Buffalo Bill Cody, young man,
06:58any more than it makes her the real calamity.
07:00Looks to me like this is a case to come up before the court.
07:13But, Uncle Ben, I want to...
07:15Young lady, you know better to address me as Uncle Ben when I'm presiding.
07:20Yes, sir. I mean yes, Your Honor.
07:23Order in the court.
07:26Now, what's this ruckus all about?
07:28Well, Calamity went to the telegraph station
07:30instead of coming straight home after school.
07:32I was going to tell you, but you were too busy.
07:35That's no excuse.
07:36It is so.
07:37Now, now, now, that's enough, that's enough.
07:39Calamity, we're not telling anybody where you were going.
07:43This court sentences you to wash the dishes for a week.
07:47And it's for you, young fella.
07:49You're sentenced to cook all the meals during those seven days
07:54just to teach you if you want people to look up to you.
07:57You got to earn it yourself.
07:59Barring another man's fame is the same as stealing his coat.
08:03And you can't make yourself big by wearing it.
08:06And what's more, if you do,
08:08some of his enemies is liable to take a pot shot at you.
08:11But, Uncle Ben...
08:16Third nineteen, right on time.
08:18I guess we'd better get to supper.
08:20Case is closed.
08:21But, Uncle Ben, somebody did take a shot at Bill.
08:24What's that?
08:27Who was it?
08:28Well, I'm not sure, but I think it was Johnny Ringo.
08:30Johnny Ringo?
08:35I don't understand it.
08:37Of course, Johnny always was the best shot in the Southwest.
08:41But even when he was riding with Curly Bill,
08:44he never wore a mask or plugged a man in the back.
08:47Yeah, and now he's doing both.
08:49And shouting to the world he's Johnny Ringo.
08:51Well, all I got to say is he must have went stark staring mad.
08:55Dagnabbit, I plump forgot to take in that wash.
08:58Uncle Ben, didn't you say Johnny Ringo came from California?
09:02So I've heard, and his real name is Johnny Ringo.
09:10Sounds like we got company.
09:19Good evening.
09:20Does the town marshal live here?
09:22Yeah, he does.
09:23He does? I mean...
09:26Won't you come in?
09:32I'll be with you in just a minute, ma'am.
09:36As soon as I get my badge.
09:39Uncle Ben's a barber, too, and he shoes horses.
09:42He's also the judge and the doctor and lawyer.
09:45Wiley Bill was named after him.
09:49Now then, ma'am, what can I do for you?
09:51I'm Anna Louise Beaumont.
09:53The man at the railway station said you might tell me where I could find Johnny Ringo.
09:57Johnny Ringo?
09:59Maybe it's none of my business, ma'am, but are you any relation to Johnny?
10:03Well, if all had gone as we had planned, I...
10:06I would have been his wife.
10:11Hit the floor!
10:17Here, here, where are you going?
10:21Larry!
10:22What's the matter?
10:23He's been shot.
10:24Oh, put him on that couch right there. Easy now.
10:27Easy does it.
10:30Calamity, fetch me some hot water and bring my surgical case in.
10:33Who shot you, Larry? Who gunned you down?
10:36Ringo.
10:37Ringo?
10:38Never mind him, Bill, never mind him.
10:39I have to save a life here, and I may need your help.
10:41I have to probe for that bullet.
10:42But, but, Judge, he's a killer.
10:44I've done some nursing. Maybe I can help.
10:46Oh, that's swell.
10:48Then I can go.
10:49Bill!
10:51Bill!
10:52Here's a wire. It's for you. It's from Captain Heath.
10:56Says, need your aid as scout.
11:00Report as soon as possible. Urgent. Captain Heath.
11:05Glad to see you made it in good time. Captain Heath, this is...
11:08Yes, yes, I know. Buffalo Bill, Jr.
11:10Glad to know you, Bill.
11:11Same here, sir.
11:12Sergeant Ferris has probably explained why I sent for you in such a hurry.
11:15Although no explanation is really needed with all those tom-toms going.
11:18Sit down, Bill.
11:19But you see, we're fighting against time.
11:21Time to get those government bonds back to the Paiutes
11:23before they start collecting our scouts.
11:25No, I understand, sir.
11:26Incidentally, just how did you get the name of Buffalo Bill, Jr.?
11:29From your scouting ability?
11:31Well, if you must know, sir, I...
11:33Well, you see, sir, Uncle Ben, Judge Benjamin Wiley, he gave me that name.
11:39When he found my sister and me wandering around in the Black Hills.
11:42We were the only survivors of an Indian raid.
11:44And while I was carrying her wrapped up in a buffalo robe.
11:48So he named me Buffalo Bill, Jr.
11:50I see.
11:51Well, I'm glad you're here, Bill.
11:54I'm glad you're here, too.
11:55I'm glad you're here, too.
11:56I'm glad you're here, too.
11:57I'm glad you're here, too.
11:58I'm glad you're here, too.
11:59I'm glad you're here, too.
12:00I'm glad you're here, too.
12:01I'm glad you're here, too.
12:02I see.
12:03But you do know the Cloudy Hill Range?
12:06Pretty well, sir.
12:07And you can track?
12:09I can read ground French, yes, sir.
12:11That's all I want to know.
12:13Better get to your horse, Bill. We'll be starting in 15 minutes.
12:15Yes, sir.
12:19Well, looks like we got ourselves a good scout, huh?
12:21Well, how can you tell, sir?
12:23He doesn't even seem sure of himself.
12:25Perhaps that's where you're wrong.
12:27When a fella knows what he can do, he doesn't have to brag about it.
12:29Besides, you noticed he wasn't afraid to tell us how he got his name.
12:47Our courier couldn't have tried to cross that.
12:49We'd better go back and contact our young scout.
13:00Huh?
13:13Looks like he found something.
13:30It's the courier.
13:32What happened?
13:33He was shot from the saddle.
13:35He took his horse.
13:36Do you have any idea who it was?
13:38Yes, sir.
13:43Ringo.
13:46When do you suppose he was shot?
13:48Oh, I'd say about 24 hours ago.
13:50I don't know.
13:51I don't know.
13:52I don't know.
13:53I don't know.
13:54I don't know.
13:55I don't know.
13:56I don't know.
13:57I don't know.
13:58About 24 hours ago?
13:59I probably met up with Ringo right after he plugged in.
14:02The government bonds aren't on him, sir.
14:04And he didn't drop them anyplace.
14:05My men have searched every inch of the area.
14:08Which means Ringo has them.
14:10Ferris, get to the nearest telegraph office and wire the colonel for more men.
14:13Excuse me, sir, but we already have too many men.
14:15A whole company too many.
14:17You can hear them coming a mile.
14:18Oh, I see what you mean.
14:21Very well, then, take over Ferris.
14:22Yes, sir.
14:24All right, Bill.
14:26Let you and I go get Ringo, huh?
14:27Yes, sir.
14:42You shouldn't go to all this trouble, ma'am.
14:44Who said it was any trouble?
14:46And will you stop calling me ma'am?
14:48My name is Anna Louise, Larry.
14:51Anna Louise.
14:53Hey, Larry, you won't have to worry anymore.
14:55They sent a relief man to take your place.
14:57Oh, hello, Miss Beaumont.
14:59Here, Calamity, you finish feeding Larry his soup.
15:01Yes, ma'am.
15:02I'll go put on a fresh apron for supper.
15:04And I worked the key and took down all the messages,
15:07just like you said, until the relief man showed up.
15:10And I didn't have a bit of trouble.
15:12You just ask Uncle Ben as soon as he comes in from putting the mule away.
15:22Calamity, we got a visitor.
15:23Go tell that young lady Johnny Ringo's here.
15:26She'll be glad to see you.
15:27Yes, Johnny.
15:28Stay right where you are, kid.
15:29Hello, Johnny Ringo.
15:35My goodness.
15:36Don't tell me I've changed so much you don't know me.
15:39But then, you've changed too.
15:43It's been a long time, hasn't it, Johnny?
15:46Well, what if it has?
15:48You don't have to be that way with me, Johnny.
15:50Not when I've come all the way from California just to see you.
15:53Yeah, well, as far as I'm concerned, you can go right back again.
15:56Johnny.
15:57Why, you...
16:01Here, kid.
16:02Get me that clothesline over there.
16:05Go ahead and get it for him.
16:10The rest of you, get those chairs and bring them over here.
16:14You two.
16:15But he's hurt.
16:16I'm not asking any favors of him.
16:18That's good, because you won't get any.
16:20And that goes for you, too.
16:21Right now, I ain't trusting nobody.
16:24Go get those chairs.
16:41Here.
16:42Toss me some grub, kid, while I tie them up.
16:45Sit down. Put your hands behind you.
16:48Come on.
16:53As soon as I tie you up, I'm going to get you some shut-eye.
16:55Those blasted soldiers have kept me on the run.
17:14I've got Ringo's horse here.
17:16Looks like he switched to the majors.
17:17You better unsaddle him and turn him loose.
17:19We'll pick him up later.
17:20Yes, sir.
17:24Don't you ever mount or dismount the regular way?
17:28Yes, sir, when I have lots of time.
17:37Pilots.
17:38Heading for Tanaka's camp.
17:40We better find Ringo and fast.
17:47Let's go.
18:12He's asleep.
18:13Doesn't look a bit like Johnny, does he?
18:15Johnny's handsome.
18:16But I heard you warning Calamity,
18:18and I knew you were afraid I'd say he wasn't the real Johnny Ringo.
18:21If you had, he might have shot all of us.
18:24But if he isn't...
18:25But if he isn't Ringo, who is he?
18:28Jack Deuce.
18:30Sometimes called Johnny behind the deuce.
18:33A gambler.
18:34He's hated Johnny ever since he exposed him as a cheat and a liar.
18:39Why does he go around pretending that he's Johnny Ringo?
18:42Well, offhand, I'd say it was to ruin his reputation for playing square
18:46and to get him hung.
18:48But where's Johnny?
18:50Why doesn't he do something about him?
18:54That's what I'd like to know.
19:12Everglades.
19:15Are you...
19:17Are you still in love with Johnny Ringo?
19:21I don't know.
19:23I was very young when...
19:24when we were engaged.
19:27My father didn't want us to marry.
19:29He said Johnny didn't have enough money.
19:32Johnny swore he'd get it.
19:34He said he'd get it.
19:36He said he'd get it.
19:38He said he'd get it.
19:39Johnny swore he'd get it.
19:41He didn't care how.
19:44That's the last I saw of him.
19:47Then...
19:48my father died and...
19:50I came here looking for Johnny.
19:54But it all... it all seemed so long ago.
20:04Well!
20:06Right where I left you.
20:07I'll untie you, kid.
20:09You can rustle me up some coffee.
20:12Do you mind if she hangs the clothes out first?
20:15So they won't get mildewed?
20:17She don't have to go outside.
20:19All she's got to do is push them out through that window.
20:23I reckon it'll be all right.
20:25Go ahead, kid.
20:26Calamity!
20:27Remember, hang those clothes up just like you do over at Larry's.
20:33Leave it to me, Judge.
20:34Oh, leave it to me, Judge.
20:47I thought you said he came through Wileyville the night before last.
20:50Well, he did, sir, but he must have circled back.
20:53I'm sorry we have to push on.
20:54I'd like to stop and meet your folks.
20:56Oh, they wouldn't be up this early anyhow.
21:05What?
21:10That's funny.
21:11Why only handkerchiefs with socks?
21:13I sure wouldn't know.
21:16Wait a minute, it's Morse code.
21:18Code?
21:19Sure.
21:20Dot, dot, dot.
21:21Dash, dash, dash.
21:23Dot, dot, dot.
21:24S-O-S.
21:25Hey, somebody wants help.
21:27That's where I live.
21:28Ringo's there.
21:34Let's go.
22:04Fire!
22:07Fire!
22:09Fire!
22:15Fire!
22:17Fire!
22:19Fire!
22:21Fire!
22:27The back door's locked.
22:28The only way in is through the laundry window.
22:30You reloaded?
22:31Yeah.
22:32Then cover me.
23:03Come on, Vinnie.
23:04Come here.
23:05Get me out of this hornet's crib.
23:07Oh.
23:08Oh.
23:09Oh.
23:10Oh.
23:11Oh.
23:12Oh.
23:13Oh.
23:14Oh.
23:15Oh.
23:16Oh.
23:17Oh.
23:18Oh.
23:19Oh.
23:20Oh.
23:21Oh.
23:22Oh.
23:23Oh.
23:24Oh.
23:25Oh.
23:26Oh.
23:27Oh.
23:28Oh.
23:29Oh.
23:30Oh.
23:31Oh.
23:32Oh.
23:33Oh.
23:34Oh.
23:35Oh.
23:36Oh.
23:37Oh.
23:38Oh.
23:39Oh.
23:40Oh.
23:41Oh.
23:42Oh.
23:43Oh.
23:44Oh.
23:45Oh.
23:46Oh.
23:47Oh.
23:48Oh.
23:49Oh.
23:50Oh.
23:51Oh.
23:52Oh.
23:53Oh.
23:54Oh.
23:55Oh.
23:56Oh.
23:57Oh.
23:58Oh.
23:59Oh.
24:00Oh.
24:01Bill, you saved my scalp, along with a lot of others.
24:04I'm grateful.
24:05Yeah, but did you have to wreck the kitchen doing it?
24:11Bill hit the trail again right away.
24:14Even though he'd captured Jack Deuce, who'd
24:16been posing as Ringo, and recovered the government
24:19bonds for the Indians, thereby forestalling
24:22an Indian uprising, he didn't consider
24:25his job as governor of the United States
24:27until he found the real Johnny Ringo.
24:30It wasn't long, however, before he was on his way back home
24:34again.
24:38Uncle Ben!
24:39Uncle Ben!
24:40They found Johnny Ringo, up in Turkey Creek Canyon,
24:42with a bullet through the back of his head.
24:44They must have caught him by surprise,
24:46because his gun was still in his hole.
24:50Johnny?
24:51Dead?
24:54Poor Johnny.
24:57Maybe I'd better go after her.
24:58She might need a shoulder to cry on.
25:03No wonder Jack Deuce wasn't afraid to say he was Ringo.
25:07Well, sure, he probably killed him.
25:08Yeah, but it still didn't do him any good.
25:10Like I've always said, you can't make yourself big by standing
25:13in the shadow of a better man.
25:17Oh, poor Johnny.
