00:00Champion the Wonder Horse! Champion the Wonder Horse!
00:10Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky,
00:14Like a swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow,
00:17Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly,
00:21You'll hear about him everywhere you go,
00:24The time will come when everyone will know the name of
00:28Champion the Wonder Horse!
00:59Whoa!
01:03So this is Wild Horse Valley, huh?
01:06Where are your wild horses and your killer stallions?
01:10They'll be somewhere around.
01:12I just hope you didn't fall for a cock and bull story, that's all.
01:16Look, we need a new bucking horse, don't we?
01:18It's half true what they say about the leader of this herd, he'll be right for us.
01:22I need two horses, I'll get the saddle.
01:29Hey, there's your herd.
01:35That must be your stallion.
01:40What do you say now?
01:42I gotta admit, if he's as wild and mean as he's fine looking,
01:47that's Dynamite, our next killer horse.
01:51Hi, champ. Were you waiting for me?
01:59Oops.
02:09I'm not giving up now.
02:11Gotta get that horse alone.
02:13See what he does when a grown man tries to ride him.
02:17That was swell, champ.
02:20But, promise to get back in time for the chores.
02:24So long. I'll see you tomorrow.
02:31Come on, Rebel.
02:47Joe, as far as I'm concerned, this is all a waste of time.
02:51Right, there he is.
02:55The only way he can get out of this canyon is past us.
02:58He ain't getting past.
03:00You take that side, Mort.
03:03You don't think he's a kitten riding horse?
03:06Maybe he's just scared.
03:12Whoa, whoa.
03:15I ain't got nothing to give you, kid.
03:17You bet I do.
03:27You're a good horse.
03:29I'm going to clear it.
03:33Lay a rope on it. You take its side.
03:51Go on now, boy. Get a loop around its nose.
03:59Play tag with the kids. Might even play post office with you.
04:09You, Winnie, will be the greatest attraction we ever had.
04:12Yeah, we got him too. He ain't going nowhere dragging that saddle.
04:29We got our new diner, Mike.
04:59Well?
05:11I'm a sign of Muggles, Sandy. Anywhere.
05:15Well, Champ's a pretty smart horse, Ricky. He can take care of himself.
05:19But he's been gone three days now.
05:22Something's happened to him, Uncle Sandy. I know it has.
05:25Ricky, he's probably just wandered off.
05:28But I'll come with you. We'll take another look.
05:31Thanks, Uncle Sandy.
05:37All right, let's go.
05:58There's the herd.
06:20No use, Uncle Sandy. He's really gone.
06:28Don't worry. I'll go right to sleep.
06:48Look, Ricky, moping like this isn't going to bring Champ back.
06:52I'm all right.
06:54Well, I don't call it all right when you don't eat or sleep.
06:57I don't feel much like eating or sleeping.
07:01Well, I guess there's no point in forcing yourself.
07:04Look, I'm going to Canyon City tomorrow for a few days.
07:07Do you want to go along?
07:08I guess so.
07:11Thanks, Uncle Sandy.
07:13Will we stay with Aunt Emily?
07:15I guess so. We always do.
07:20Good night.
07:21Try and get some sleep.
07:23I'll try. I promise.
07:51Rebel! Oh, you nice old boy.
07:58Sandy! Ricky!
08:00My, Lanta, you've grown. Why, you've shot up like a weed.
08:06You're looking mighty fine yourself, Aunt Emily.
08:08Yes, sir. Prettier every year.
08:10Now, don't you start polishing apples until after they're picked.
08:13I'll get you something to eat. You must be starved.
08:16I'm not a bit hungry.
08:17Oh, well, then why don't you and Rebel look the town over for a while?
08:21I guess I might as well, if you don't mind.
08:25Come on, Rebel.
08:36He's as bad as you said in your letter, and worse.
08:39Emily, I've tried everything I know to get his mind off Champ.
08:43You and a change of scene are practically my last hope.
08:45Well, I'll do everything I can, but I've never seen a boy so down in the mouth.
09:45What do you want?
09:55It's Champ!
09:56Oh, Rebel, you've found him.
09:59They've got him in the rodeo outside of town.
10:01Come on!
10:28Uh-oh.
10:32Say, where will I find Bates or Dixon?
10:34I'm more Dixon.
10:36I'd like to talk to you about this horse you call Dynamite.
10:38His real name's Champion, and he belongs to me.
10:41Belongs to you?
10:43He wasn't wearing no brand when we caught him.
10:45Well, he doesn't really belong to the boy legally,
10:47but they've sort of grown up together, and I'd like to keep it that way.
10:50How much do you want for the horse?
10:52You haven't got money enough to buy him, mister.
10:54We're booked solid for months ahead.
10:56We're shipping out east tomorrow.
10:58Uncle Sandy, I know how to get him if they won't sell him to us.
11:02Look at that poster.
11:05It says they'll give him to anybody who can ride him.
11:08Only $10.
11:10That's right. I'll buy the boy. Take it right now.
11:12You plumb loco, mister.
11:13What?
11:14That outlaw's nearly half killed every man that tried to ride him.
11:16You're telling us a kid can do it?
11:17That's right. He's the only one that can.
11:19He may be crazy, but we ain't.
11:21We ain't letting no kid close to that killer.
11:23What, have he got hurt or maybe even killed?
11:25The Lord put us out of business.
11:27You've got to let me! You've got to let me!
11:29Look, get away and stay away.
11:34Sam, what are you doing if I'm here?
11:36Hey!
11:45Sam!
11:47You can't keep him locked up like that.
11:49You'll break his heart.
11:51We told you to stay out of here.
11:58You'll never once forget it!
12:11Now, this ain't going to do you no good.
12:13Now, get out of here or I'll get the law on you
12:15for trying to trick us out of our horse.
12:17Disturbing the peace.
12:19Now, get out of here, pronto!
12:25You can let him up now, Rebel.
12:30Come on, Ricky.
12:31But, Uncle Sandy, I...
12:33Oh, come on.
12:41Well, there's nothing we can do now, Ricky.
12:43They're within their legal rights.
12:45Maybe I'll think of something, though.
12:47Maybe if I offer them a lot more money for Sam.
12:49We'll see.
12:55One thing for sure.
12:57We've got to keep that kid away from that horse.
12:59Don't worry. They won't be back.
13:04Aunt Emily,
13:06would you trust me with a loan of $10 for a little while?
13:09Are you planning on going into business?
13:11Not exactly.
13:13Oh, I know how men are.
13:14They don't like to tell their business.
13:16Well, look, in this case, I could get.
13:18Go get it out of my pocketbook.
13:20Gosh, thanks, Aunt Emily.
13:27Hey, dynamite, dynamite, dynamite.
13:30The greatest wild stallion in the West.
13:32You ride him and you win him.
13:34A chance of a lifetime to win a horse
13:36that $1,000 wouldn't buy
13:38and only $10 the pro.
13:40Here you are. If you don't want to ride him,
13:42a dollar, you can watch all the fun.
13:44You ride him and you win him.
13:46For only $10.
13:48There you go, right over here, gentlemen.
13:50There you are. Only a $10 spot.
13:52Only a $10 spot at Starbuck
13:54and you could own dynamite.
13:56I just got to ride dynamite.
13:58And I got the money, but he won't sell me a ticket.
14:01Neither would I.
14:03That Mustang ain't for kids, from what I hear.
14:05You better get your car to buy your shipment, Corny.
14:10Good luck.
14:11Okay, here you are.
14:15All right, step right up.
14:17Who's next? Who wants to take a chance
14:19to win a $1 horse?
14:21I could use a good horse.
14:23Good. Well, he's yours for the taking.
14:25You're riding.
14:29All right, step right up.
14:31Let's see you dynamite.
14:45What happened to you?
14:47I tried that man-killing outlaw.
15:01A little bump. Why don't you try your luck?
15:03See, I ain't got time to waste my turn.
15:06How about getting my $10 back?
15:08No refunds, partner.
15:10Why don't you sell it to one of your friends?
15:12Just go inside and watch.
15:13Now, wait a minute. I paid $10 on it.
15:15Look, I said no refunds.
15:21Come on, Evel.
15:43Come here, little Victor.
15:45Excuse me, but I heard you saying
15:47you didn't want your ticket.
15:49Now will you sell it to me?
15:51What's the evening on you, son?
15:53Tell me about it.
15:54Well, I used to ride Champ...
15:56I mean, Dynamite,
15:58all the time before they caught him.
16:00He was wild, but he likes me.
16:02And I like him.
16:06Sounds like you're telling the truth.
16:08I guess so.
16:10I'll be doggone.
16:13I may be a local,
16:15but you got me convinced.
16:17Here.
16:19Oh, no, keep your money.
16:21It'll be worth the 10 bucks
16:22to see them highbinders lose their horse.
16:24Well, thanks, but I've got to buy it legal-like.
16:27I see what you mean.
16:29Good luck, son.
16:31Next, let's move to the bar 20.
16:33We'll now attempt to sell the ticket
16:35to a friend of ours.
16:37Thanks, son.
16:38Next, let's move to the bar 20.
16:40We'll now attempt to ride Dynamite.
16:43Whoo!
17:04It'll be all right now, Champ.
17:08You're coming back to me.
17:12Come on.
17:36Yo, come here.
17:43How'd that kid get in here?
17:45I don't know, but it won't do him any good
17:47to ride that horse.
17:48He didn't buy a ticket.
18:06Here's my ticket, Mr. Bates.
18:08I'm taking Champ with me, right?
18:10Wait a minute.
18:11We didn't tell you no ticket.
18:13All right, boys, pick up the horse.
18:15I paid for this ticket.
18:16Oh, I won Champ fair and square.
18:18He sure did.
18:20I sold it to a friend, like you told me to.
18:24You had no business selling it to a kid,
18:26or he might have been killed.
18:28Oh, yeah.
18:30Oh, wait a minute.
18:31That's kind of a trick, fellas,
18:33but we don't want any trouble.
18:34All right, Morton, make it all legal-like.
18:36Give him a bill of sale.
18:37Anything you say, Joe.
18:39I'll get the van hitched up.
18:40OK.
18:41Thanks.
18:42Thanks a lot.
18:43You wouldn't have missed us for anything.
18:45Come on, sonny.
18:49All the stuff's in here.
18:50After you, son.
18:55You let us out of here!
18:57Don't worry, kid.
18:58They'll find you after we're gone.
19:01You should have known better than to trust him.
19:10Uh-oh.
19:11There's a window.
19:40You think he can make it?
19:47Go around and open the door, Rebel.
19:49Open the door!
19:55The door, Rebel.
19:56Now try to open it.
19:57Come on, Rebel.
19:58Try to open the door.
19:59Come on.
20:00Come on.
20:01Come on.
20:02Come on.
20:03Come on.
20:04Come on.
20:05Come on.
20:06Come on.
20:07Come on.
20:08Come on, Rebel.
20:09Open the door.
20:20We're taking a shambles, Betty.
20:21Rebel, go find Uncle Sam.
20:23Come on.
20:38What's the matter, boy?
20:49What's the matter, boy?
21:01Something wrong with Ricky?
21:02Come on, let's go.
21:03Come on, let's go.
21:33Come on, let's go.
21:40Come on, let's go.

22:09Come on, let's go.
22:19Come on, let's go.
22:30Come on, let's go.
22:39Come on, let's go.
22:49Come on, let's go.
22:58He stopped! He's gone lame!
23:01What's the matter, champ?
23:03Come on, we've still got a chance!
23:07Did you maim yourself?
23:28Get him up, Rebel! You can get him up!
23:58I wouldn't chant fair and square, Uncle Sandy, but they try to double-cross me.
24:02Tell me about it later, Ricky.
24:04On your feet, Dixon.
24:06This time, you two Jaspers really did try to steal a horse.
24:09So mosey on back up to your van, we'll go in town and have a little talk with the sheriff.
24:14Come on, get going.
24:28Thanks, champ.
24:39You two go back to your herd.
24:56See you tomorrow, champ!
25:06Champion the Wonder Horse!
25:09Champion the Wonder Horse!
25:16Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.
25:19Like the swiftest arrow whittling from a bow.
25:22Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.
25:26You'll hear about him everywhere you go.
25:29The time will come when everyone will know the name of Champion the Wonder Horse!
25:36Champion the Wonder Horse!
