00:00Our story is laid
00:29in the bluegrass country of old Kentucky.
00:31It is the year 1861 B.C.,
00:35before Sea Biscuit.
00:39Nestled in the shade of the stately magnolia trees
00:42stands the proud mansion of Colonel O'Hare Oil.
00:49Here, sitting on his broad veranda,
00:52we find the Colonel,
00:53a true Southern blueblood.
00:55The Colonel is the owner of Rich Tobacco Plantation.
01:05Tell us about your tobacco.
01:06Adjacent to his mansion
01:16are the Colonel's vast and prosperous cotton fields,
01:20the envy of all the South.
01:22Gone are the days
01:26when my heart was young and gay.
01:31Gone are my friends
01:34from the cotton fields away.
01:39Gone from the earth
01:42to a better land I know.
01:46The Colonel also had a daughter,
02:00Crimson O'Hare Oil.
02:01Crimson was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
02:05Oh, I want to look my best.
02:09Hurry, hurry, Topsy.
02:11Today I want to look my best.
02:14Yeah, sure does look scrumptious, missy.
02:19Crimson had many admirers
02:21who came from far and near to seek her hand.
02:23But in spite of these offers of fame and riches and of all the suitors who sought her hand, no suitor suited her, for Crimson had eyes for only one, that chivalrous, that hard-riding, square-shooting, soldier of fortune, Ned Cutler.
02:46Oh, well.
02:46Whoa.
02:59Yeah, hold my horse, son.
03:02I'll be right back.
03:13Crimson, I come to ask you...
03:16Yes, yes, go on.
03:17If you, uh...
03:19Yes, yes.
03:20Well, I know I'm irresponsible, but...
03:23Yes, go on, Ned, stay here.
03:25Well, could you...
03:27Would you, uh...
03:28Well...
03:28Yes.
03:33Then came the war.
03:35My country calls.
03:47I must join my regiment and throw the flag.
03:50My hero.
03:51Hey, mister.
03:52You forgot your horse.
03:53Goodbye, Ned.
03:54I'll be waitin' for ya.
03:55I'll burn a light in the window.
03:57Hey, mister.
03:58You forgot your horse.
03:59Goodbye, Ned.
04:00I'll be waitin' for ya.
04:01I'll burn a light in the window.
04:02I'll be waitin' for ya.
04:04I'll burn a light in the window.
04:05I'll burn a light in the window.
04:07I'll burn a light in the window...
04:26Men, I suppose you all know why you're here.
04:33We've got a big battle on our hands today.
04:37They're pitching Stoneball Jackson against us.
04:40A southpaw.
04:42Remember, this is no setup.
04:46Now if we win this one, we get to meet the south in the cotton ball.
04:49Now I want you to get out there and dip.
04:56I want you to get out of there.
05:23All wires down from Richmond, Major.
05:25That's good, that's good, good.
05:27Oh, no, no, no, that's terrible, terrible, terrible.
05:29Just a minute, just a minute.
05:30Kentucky's coming through clear.
05:32Fine, fine, very fine, that's fine.
05:34It's Johnstown by two lengths.
05:37Marvelous, marvelous.
05:38No, no, that's terrible, terrible.
05:39That ruins my parley.
05:41That's not so good, is it?
05:41No, no, terrible, terrible.
05:43Good morning, folks.
06:04This is your news reporter bringing you the newsflashers from the front.
06:07Richmond.
06:07The Yanks win again today.
06:10Other scores, Brooklyn five, Cincinnati three.
06:13All others were rained out.
06:15Those dead, burned, dead, burned, dead, burned, Yankees.
06:18The Yanks win again today.
06:48Two arms, two arms, two arms.
06:50The British are coming.
06:52With a bang, bang.
07:01Time passed.
07:03The war ended.
07:18The boys came home.
07:28Crimson kept her promise and waited.
07:30But still no word from Ned Cutler.
07:35And then one day, a knock on the door.
07:42It was Ned.
07:45Crimson, I came to ask you.
07:47Yes, yes, Ned.
07:49What I mean, uh, I have waited all these years.
07:52Yes, yes, go on.
07:53I want to ask you.
07:55Oh, yes.
07:55Could you, um, would you validate my ticket?
07:59Fear it.
08:16Oh, my God.
08:17Oh, my God.
