FunTranscript
00:00Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous
00:25trails, fighting the many enemies of nature.
00:29This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill.
00:33Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain
00:39lions.
00:40Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.
00:55When spring comes, it means lots of work for the rangers.
00:58Yes, it's all day, from sunup to sundown, and then sometimes far into the night, as
01:03the rangers work to guard the public lands.
01:07Each spring I'm especially concerned because the river rises high with water from melting
01:12snow coming down from the mountains.
01:15And come spring, each year the river's a threat to the town of Rivers Bend.
01:20But one year there was a new threat, a new danger.
01:23It was the time the rangers and I fought the River Monster.
01:30How high's the Shady River now, Bill?
01:32It's climbed our gauge just three inches.
01:34Ah, that plenty water.
01:36It ain't nothing yet, sonny.
01:38Wait till old Shady really gets her dander up, then you'll see more water than you ever
01:43seen before.
01:44When all that snow begins to pour out of the mountains, you'll think somebody opened up
01:49the gates of Hoover Dam and let her all come rolling down on us.
01:52I remember last spring, the folks at Rivers Bend thought the levees were gonna break open
01:57for sure.
01:58Oh, well, I remember, pal.
02:00I never filled so many sandbags in all my life, but they held the river back.
02:05Maybe they not have same trouble this year.
02:07They build dikes stronger and bigger than before.
02:10Well, personally, I'm not worried about the town at all this spring because of those improvements.
02:15But we'll have to keep watching the old gal anyhow.
02:18You never know when she's liable to get angry and pull a new caper on us.
02:22At least we won't have to fill sandbags.
02:24All the river can do now is flood the rangeland, and that'll go down after a few weeks.
02:28Yep.
02:29Guess we can scratch old Shady River off our worry list.
02:42Where did you come from?
02:44Bill, there big trouble.
02:45Trouble?
02:46Shady River.
02:48The Shady River?
02:49What's it doing now?
02:50Oh, it not the river she behave.
02:52It's Zuck Stevens.
02:54He got big log raft on river.
02:56Too big to handle with more and more water coming into river from mountains.
03:00Oh, man.
03:01How big is this log raft, Frenchie?
03:04Frenchie not know for sure.
03:06Only she look like big river monster.
03:21Ah, this old fireplace sure feels good after being out cutting logs all day.
03:29You said it, Zack.
03:31Guess I'm getting old.
03:33Look forward to coming inside the cabin every evening and soaking up the heat.
03:39Me too, Clarence.
03:41Zack, what are we going to do about that oversized log raft we've got in the river?
03:46What do you mean, what are we going to do about it?
03:48Well, some of the boys saw Frenchie Dussault looking at it early today.
03:52I don't mean anything.
03:54Besides, Frenchie's quit being a troublemaker since he's got religion.
03:58Yeah, but Frenchie's a good friend of Bill Jefferson.
04:02So what am I supposed to do?
04:05Like I said, Frenchie's quit being a troublemaker.
04:09You mean he doesn't pick fights anymore.
04:11But that oversized raft we've got is a menace with the water rising in the big Shady River.
04:17Frenchie might get the Rangers about it.
04:19Hey, who are you working for?
04:22Me or that Frenchman?
04:23Okay, forget it, Zack.
04:25I just got a feeling we might get a visit from the Rangers, that's all.
04:29So the Rangers visit us.
04:31So the raft is extra big.
04:33So the raft is a menace.
04:35So I'm as good a raftman as I am a lumberjack.
04:40You let me worry about the raft, Clarence.
04:43Your job is to see that the boys cut down the trees and make logs.
04:47That should keep you busy enough.
04:49Okay, okay.
04:51But if you get into trouble, don't say I didn't warn you.
04:53Warn me all you want to.
04:56I'm not breaking the law.
04:58I'll move that raft when I'm good and ready, and not before.
05:01What are you going to do about that big raft, Bill?
05:04I don't know yet, pal.
05:05That'd be plenty dangerous if it get loose on river with flood water coming fast.
05:09She'd be very dangerous.
05:10She'd take everything with it that gets in way.
05:13How much do you think that there monster weighs, Frenchie?
05:16Oh, the raft, uh, have maybe, uh, two hundred pounds.
05:21That's a lot of weight.
05:23That's a lot of weight, Bill.
05:24That's a lot of weight, Bill.
05:26That's a lot of weight, Bill.
05:27That's a lot of weight, Bill.
05:28That's a lot of weight, Bill.
05:30Two hundred log.
05:32They weigh a thousand each.
05:34Maybe the raft, uh, oh, she weigh a hundred ton.
05:39Wow.
05:40Say, fellas, what do you say we go out and take a look at this monster, huh?
05:55Look at the size of that thing, would you?
05:58Look like an overgrown whale come up to see what's going on.
06:01Ah, too big.
06:03I'll say it's too big, Grey Wolf.
06:05Personally, I think Stephen ought to be a saint of himself to put a thing like that together.
06:09It's only held together with heavy chains and cables.
06:12Ha ha, heavy chain and cable only fasten logs together.
06:16But cable not hold to river bank if water get higher or run faster, then break loose.
06:22If you ask me, them wooden cables don't look like they could hold back a hundred tons.
06:27Once the river got mad.
06:29That's what's worrying me, old timer.
06:31The river is higher every day.
06:33Yep, pretty soon old Shady will be hopping.
06:37Then bingo.
06:39When do they figure the peak will be reached, Grey Wolf?
06:41Ah, maybe a few more days.
06:43Uh oh, here comes Zack and his foreman.
06:47Don't worry.
06:48If Zack get tough, Frenchy fix him.
06:51You're forgetting, Frenchy, no rough stuff.
06:54Where do you rangers, what are you doing on private property?
06:57Get out.
06:58Perhaps you haven't read the rule book lately, Zack.
07:01The law says that 10 feet beyond the edge of the river is public property.
07:05Public property is our field of operation.
07:09You keep soft tongue in hand, you get along better.
07:12We, Zack Stephens, maybe you like to try and throw Frenchy out.
07:16Hold it, fellas.
07:17Zack, we didn't come here to start a quarrel or a fight.
07:21We're on business.
07:23You're not afraid we might say something that we shouldn't say, are you?
07:27Oh, me?
07:28Don't be silly.
07:29I haven't got a thing to hide.
07:30You're right there, Zack.
07:32You couldn't hide that thing we're looking at even if you wanted to.
07:35What, you mean the long raft?
07:37You hit the nail right on the head.
07:39You know a raft that size could do a lot of damage if it ever got loose.
07:43Who says it's gonna get loose?
07:46You don't think them shoestrings you got it tied to the shore with are gonna hold it,
07:50do you, young fella?
07:51That's my business, Ranger.
07:53And I'll thank you to mind your own.
07:54Listen, Zack.
07:56And listen hard.
07:57This is our business.
07:59That oversized log raft is a menace to all property, public and private.
08:04And it's also a threat to the town of Rivers Bend.
08:07If that thing ever got loose and went careening around the bend of the river,
08:11what do you think would happen to the levy the town spent thousands of dollars to build up?
08:14Now you listen to me, Jefferson.
08:17You're not telling me what to do or how to do anything.
08:21I'm the best raft man on this river.
08:23And when I'm ready to move that raft, I'll move it.
08:25Move it safely.
08:27But that's when I'm ready to move it and not before.
08:32Zack, I'll be back in one week.
08:35You'd better have that raft loading carefully down the river to the mill
08:39or else reduce to half its size.
08:42Is that a threat, Ranger?
08:43No, it's an order.
08:45And I can assure you of one thing.
08:47I never was more serious in my life.
08:52Will you men please come to order?
09:02Quiet down, everybody.
09:04Get on with this meeting.
09:05Quiet down.
09:06Will you men please come to order?
09:08Come on, fellas.
09:09Hey, hey, knock it off, will you?
09:12We got important business to do.
09:14We don't want to waste all night.
09:17Well, gentlemen, there's no use me going over the problem.
09:20It caused this meeting.
09:22The question is what we're going to do about that monstrous raft
09:25that threatens the safety of our town.
09:27That's right.
09:29The chair will listen for any motion from the floor.
09:31Mr. Chairman.
09:32Mr. Sykes.
09:34As mayor of Rivers Bend, I move that the chair appoint a committee of two men
09:38to pay a visit to Zack Stevens and warn him to either get that raft moved
09:42or make two rafts out of it.
09:44I second the motion, Mr. Chairman.
09:46You've heard the motion.
09:48Is there any discussion or are you ready for the question?
09:53All those in favor, say aye.
09:54Aye.
09:56Opposed?
09:58The motion's carried.
10:00As chairman, I appoint Mr. Sykes our mayor and Mr. Close our treasurer
10:04to pay Zack Stevens a visit.
10:07You two men will ask Mr. Stevens to break the raft apart
10:10before it gets loose and smashes the levee that keeps the shady river
10:14from flooding our town.
10:15And if he won't comply, then what do we do?
10:18Well, I'd suggest that you take the whole matter to the rangers, Mr. Close.
10:22Bill Jefferson will know what to do.
10:38Sure is beautiful up here at the headwaters, Bill.
10:41Yes, pal.
10:42We're several thousand feet above sea level here.
10:45And there's Knotty Pine way over to our left.
10:48Yeah, looks like it's just a couple of miles.
10:51Yet it's 25 miles away.
10:54Well, did you find out what you came up here for?
10:57I think so.
10:58I wanted to see how much snow was melting and running down the mountains
11:01into these tributaries of the shady river.
11:04Yeah, believe me, this old sun's getting mighty powerful.
11:08You see those five creeks all running down the mountains?
11:12Every one of them swollen with water.
11:15I'll say.
11:17How many creeks feed into the river, Bill?
11:19Oh, I think they estimate 106 tributaries into the shady.
11:24The five we see here give us a good idea what the sum total of volume is.
11:29I'd say all we need is some warm southerly winds
11:32and that river will rise 10 feet overnight.
11:36How long do you think it'll be until the river's at its peak?
11:40About a week or 10 days.
11:41Why?
11:43106 creeks can empty a lot of water in a few days' time.
11:46Sure could.
11:48You see, some of these high mountain passes have 15 feet of snow in them,
11:52and where the temperature's above freezing,
11:54that means millions of gallons of water flowing off.
11:57And meanwhile, Zach Stevens lets his river monster sleep at its morns.
12:01Why, it's criminal, that's what it is.
12:04Well, he's only got four days left to let it sleep.
12:07I gave him a week to move it, to destroy it.
12:10Four more days and he's gonna get in a real trouble
12:13if that raft isn't moving or split up.
12:26Zach, in the name of common sense and decency,
12:28why won't you listen to reason?
12:29You're threatening the whole town of River Spend with that raft.
12:32Well, that's too bad.
12:34What am I supposed to do, break down and cry because you're worried?
12:38Well, I'm surprised, Zach.
12:39I always thought you were a gentleman with a sense of honor,
12:42and I'd sure hate to think I was mistaken.
12:45Now you listen to me.
12:46I'll give you two fellas just five minutes to get off my place,
12:50and if you don't, I'll call the boys and have you thrown off.
12:53You forget one thing.
12:55That raft is my private property and it's nobody's business what I do with it.
13:00I'm the best raft man in this whole country, and I know what I'm doing.
13:03I doubt that very much.
13:05If you had an ounce of brains,
13:06you wouldn't take the chance of having a tragedy occur at your expense.
13:09You'd better listen, Zach Stevens.
13:11There are 400 people in River Spend, and if you don't...
13:13So what'll happen if I don't listen, huh?
13:15Come on, Close.
13:17No use talking to this guy.
13:18Let's take the matter up with the Rangers.
13:20Bill Jefferson will show this smarty where to head in.
13:23Yeah?
13:23Yeah, well, you go ahead and get the Rangers.
13:26See if it'll do you any good.
13:28I'm not gonna move that raft,
13:30and there's not a thing you can do about it.
13:39Well, that's the answer he gave us, Bill.
13:45Just a lot of mean, smart-aleck answers.
13:50Well, the whole trouble is, Mr. Sykes, I'm afraid he's right.
13:54You mean you can't stop him with the law?
13:56You mean that Zach Stevens can't be forced by a court order
13:58to break up that oversized log pile he's got floating on the river?
14:02Mr. Close, there are times when the law seems inadequate to fulfill its purpose,
14:08as in this case.
14:09We've got to remember that in America, we respect the private property of others.
14:14Sometimes, even if that property is dangerous or undesirable.
14:18But what are we gonna do?
14:20You know as well as I do that nobody can get that raft safely down a river,
14:24no matter how experienced he is.
14:26I agree.
14:27The river's too high now to handle that raft safely.
14:29It's gotta be broken up.
14:31But how to do it?
14:33Mr. Sykes, give me until this evening to figure out a solution.
14:37I'll come to River's Bend with some kind of an answer.
14:40And that's a promise.
14:48Do you think it'll do any good to talk to Zach again, Bill?
14:52Well, frankly speaking, pal, no.
14:54I don't think it'll do a bit of good.
14:56I want to try just once more anyhow.
14:58And nobody can say I haven't given Zach fair warning.
15:01We'll be there soon.
15:03There's roads just around the next bend.
15:05He's only got two more days until his week is up, hasn't he?
15:08That's right.
15:09Just two more days.
15:12Now, there's the road into Zach's main camp now.
15:15Hey, there's a barricade across the road.
15:18So there is.
15:20Now, just pull to the side of the road, Henry.
15:21We'll find out what this is all about.
15:23Right.
15:31Hey, there's a sign on the barricade, Bill.
15:33Yeah, let's see what it says, huh?
15:41Hmm, no trespassing, private property.
15:46Looks like Zach's getting a little erratic, huh?
15:49Bill, wait.
15:50I just saw a reflection of something shining between those rocks over there.
15:53You see it?
15:55Yes, pal.
15:56You know what it is?
15:58It's a rifle barrel.
15:59What?
16:01Has Zach gone out of his mind?
16:04What do we do now?
16:05Do you think they'd shoot if we walked past the barrier?
16:08I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
16:10No, Bill, no.
16:11What if they shoot?
16:12Well, there comes a time when you don't back out.
16:15This is one of those times.
16:18Zach thinks he can call my bluff by using guns,
16:20and the time's come for me to change his mind.
16:23Now, you get back to the car and stay there.
16:25That's an order.
16:26But, Bill, what if they...
16:27Get back to the car.
16:34Now, Bill Jefferson, let's see what kind of an eye you've got.
16:39If you'll only stick that rifle barrel out again.
16:43You there, behind those rocks.
16:45I want to talk to your boss.
16:47Can't you read that sign, Ranger?
16:49My boss ain't talking to anybody.
16:51You come past the barricade, you get a hole in your head.
16:54I'm coming past the barricade right now.
16:56You better make that first shot count.
16:59I'm going to get you out of here, Bill.
17:01You better make that first shot count.
17:04Yeah, there's the rifle barrel out again.
17:07Now, a slug against that rifle should do the trick.
17:10Don't come past the barricade.
17:12I'm warning you.
17:13Attaboy.
17:14Now I can see it.
17:16The sunlight reflects off of it just like a mirror.
17:20Now.
17:21Well, attaboy, Bill.
17:23You knocked the rifle right out of his hand.
17:25How about out from behind those rocks with your hands up,
17:27or I'll come and get you.
17:28I'm coming, I'm coming.
17:29Don't shoot.
17:30Henry, knock that barricade down and bring the car.
17:33We're going in and talk with this man's boss.
17:47Zack Stevens, I gave you credit for more brains than this.
17:50Yeah, Bill, my man wouldn't have actually shot you.
17:53His orders were only to scare anybody who tried to come past the barricade, not to shoot.
17:57And that's the honest truth.
17:59You think people will believe that?
18:01You listen to me.
18:02I was going to go to Judge Gordon to get a court order against you
18:05because you're possessing a hazard of public and private property in human life.
18:09But now I don't have to.
18:11I could arrest you right now for assault with a deadly weapon.
18:14But we didn't do any shooting.
18:15Is that so?
18:17You're this man's boss, and you probably threatened to beat his ears off
18:20if you didn't do what you told him to do.
18:22That's right, Ranger.
18:23He did.
18:25Well, Zack, what'll it be?
18:27Jail or destroy the river monster?
18:34Bill, I'm sorry about the gun incident.
18:37I really mean that.
18:40As far as the raft goes, can't we work out some sort of a compromise on that?
18:45Well, now you're talking.
18:48Zack, I believe you about the gun incident.
18:51I don't think you've got it in you to shoot anybody.
18:54As long as nobody got hurt, I'll forget about the whole thing.
18:58Well, charge it off to, well, misjudgment.
19:04Thanks, Bill. I really appreciate it.
19:06Now, what kind of compromise are you thinking about on the raft?
19:11Well, Bill, I've got a confession to make.
19:17Main reason I haven't moved that raft is because...
19:21Well, I've just been plain scared to death.
19:23Well, Zack, why didn't you ask for help?
19:27My rangers would be glad to help you.
19:29You mean that, Bill?
19:30Sure, absolutely.
19:33I'm relieved.
19:34You see, I've got an awful lot of money tied up in the raft.
19:38I was figuring I could cut my shipping costs by having only one crew handle a big raft
19:43instead of making smaller rafts.
19:46But I've built a log monster that scares me to death.
19:49Okay, Zack, we'll help you.
19:51I've got to leave now for a council meeting and River's banned, so...
19:55Let's move it downriver first thing in the morning.
19:58Henry, you stay here for the rest of the day.
20:01I'll be late to the meeting as it is, so I've got to leave now.
20:04Okay, Bill.
20:05Believe me, I'll sure be glad to get rid of that monster.
20:09He's getting so I couldn't sleep at night.
20:19Gentlemen, gentlemen, come to order now.
20:26Lay down.
20:31Mr. Sykes, your report of Zack Stevens' answer is the most disturbing.
20:37In fact, my reaction is to go over there and punch Stevens right in the nose.
20:43Yes, Mr. Chairman, I agree with your remark,
20:46but Mr. Close and I were promised by Bill Jefferson
20:49that he'd have an answer for us at this meeting tonight.
20:52Where is the ranger?
20:53What are we supposed to do, wait all night for him?
20:57I'm sure he'll be here soon.
20:58He's probably afraid to show his face.
21:00He couldn't do anything with Zack Stevens either.
21:02That's not true.
21:04Bill's helped us before, he'll help us now.
21:06Yeah, well, he'd be here by now.
21:09I say we should get some dynamite and go and blow that raft up ourselves
21:13before it gets loose and bashes at our dikes.
21:16This meeting will come to order and we'll adjourn.
21:20Come to order now.
21:22Either we'll keep order, the meeting will be over,
21:24and we'll have accomplished nothing.
21:25I ain't doing anything anyhow, Mr. Chairman.
21:28I make a motion we adjourn and go blow up the raft ourselves.
21:32That ranger ain't gonna show up tonight.
21:34He's scared to, because he ain't got an answer ready.
21:37I wouldn't say that if I were you.
21:41You men will not take the law into your own hands.
21:43Constable, guard the doors.
21:45Don't let any of these men out.
21:46You had the answer you promised, Bill.
21:48Yes, Mr. Sykes.
21:50I have an answer, and it's a good one.
21:53Zack Stevens is going to move the raft in the morning.
22:08Well, thank you for what you've done, Bill.
22:09And my thanks too, Bill.
22:11You've done our community a great service again.
22:13Forget it, I ought to get help.
22:15Well, I'd better get back to Knotty Pine, get some rest.
22:18My ranger's not gonna help Zack at the raft.
22:24What's wrong over there?
22:25What's the commotion?
22:26Why, it's Zack Stevens trying to get through the crowd.
22:28Something's wrong.
22:29Look at his face.
22:30He looks half scared to death.
22:31He's coming his way.
22:32Bill, Bill, I gotta see you.
22:33The raft is broken loose, and Henry's on it.
22:44Quiet!
22:45You men, quiet down and listen to me.
22:48You're not gonna take the law into your own hands, do you hear?
22:50Throw that Stevens in jail, he's a murderer.
22:53Bring him up, that's what he deserves.
22:55Quiet, I tell ya!
22:56You men are wasting your time talking when you should be doing something
22:59to stop the raft from coming down the river.
23:01Bill's right, fellas.
23:02Come on, let's quiet down.
23:04You got a plan?
23:05Yes.
23:06You men see that your families are evacuated.
23:09If the raft does ram the levees, there's nothing you can do.
23:12The thing weighs a hundred tons.
23:14Meanwhile, Zack and I and the rangers will be responsible for stopping it.
23:18Now get going.
23:24Now, Zack, what about Henry?
23:26How'd he get on that raft?
23:27I got no time to tell you now.
23:29But another thing is, there's a load of dynamite on the raft that I'd plan to use to blow it up.
23:34Dynamite?
23:35Great Scott!
23:36Come on, my car's outside.
23:38You drive it, I'll work the radio.
23:40Let's go and step on the gas.
23:43But where are we going, Bill?
23:44To the helicopter base on the sand flats.
23:47We'll take Henry off of the copter first,
23:49then blow the monster apart with dynamite.
24:06Ranger Bill Jefferson to sand flats.
24:08Jefferson calling sand flats, copter base.
24:11Come in, over.
24:12Sand flats, copter base to Ranger Bill Jefferson.
24:15Come in, Ranger, over.
24:17I need a copter right away.
24:19Emergency, a matter of life and death,
24:20and I'm coming to the flats as fast as I can.
24:23We've got a copter on runway now, warming up for a routine flight.
24:26You can use it.
24:27The pilot will wait for you.
24:29It's copter 26.
24:31Drive on strip four.
24:33Pitch up a chord, over.
24:35Thanks, sand flats.
24:37We'll be there in four minutes, over and out.
24:39All right, step on it, Zack, and don't spare the horsepower.
24:57Coming, Zack?
24:58Right behind you.
25:00All right, good hearing.
25:05Okay, pilots, head for the shady river.
25:09So
25:28there's the raft.
25:29Still got about three miles to go before it hits the town.
25:32How's the dynamite set on the raft, Zack?
25:34I've got it stuck between the logs.
25:37Big boxes of it.
25:39That's how Henry got on the raft.
25:40I went back for more dynamite.
25:42He was stuffing it between the logs when the raft broke loose.
25:45I figured I'd blow the thing up if it got out of hand.
25:47Well, we got two jobs then.
25:49Get Henry off, then stop the raft before it gets to the town.
25:53Meanwhile, that raft could blow up at any time.
25:56All it needs is to hit a snag big enough to make the logs crush the dynamite.
25:59Yeah, there's the raft.
26:00And there's Henry.
26:01Good.
26:02Now, pilot, bring the copter down over the raft as close as you can.
26:08Now, lower the cable.
26:18Bill, can you hear me?
26:22Yes, Henry.
26:24Bill, the current's taking the raft to the shore all the time.
26:28We've got to blow her up before she hits the bend.
26:31And she'll bust that light into smithereens and flood the whole town.
26:36That's right.
26:37Now, listen to me, Henry.
26:40See what we're lowering on the end of the cable?
26:43Wait a minute.
26:45It's a stick of dynamite, isn't it?
26:47Yes, some matches to light the fuse.
26:50Now, be very, very careful.
26:53Our lives depend on it.
26:55Put the stick of dynamite under the box of it and light that fuse.
27:00It's long enough to give us time to lift you on the cable
27:04and get away before the dynamite explodes.
27:07You understand?
27:08Yeah, I've got it.
27:11Remember, pal, be careful.
27:19It's late, Bill.
27:20Move me on.
27:21Ram on, Henry.
27:22It's yours.
27:23Okay, I swear.
27:34You all right, Henry?
27:35Yeah, I'm coming in now.
27:42There.
27:45There.
27:45I mean...
27:47Boy, I was just about to swim for it when you came along.
27:52Yeah, I wouldn't have been too good in that current.
27:56Oh, hello there, Zack.
27:57Oh, Henry, am I glad you're safe.
27:59Why, I'd have never forgiven myself if anything had happened to you.
28:04Boy, look at the logs scatter along the river.
28:08That dynamite sure broke the raft up.
28:11You said it.
28:13At last the river monster is dead.
28:29Well, see you next week for more adventure with...
28:32Ranger Bill!
29:02Howdy, this is Stumpy Jenkins, Ranger Bill's old sidekick, as I guess you all know.
