00:11Starring Chuck Connors
00:41Hello, Mr. Loomis. What's wrong?
00:44Well, Axel Purtin here busted in half. Where's your pa?
00:47In the barn.
00:48How much longer are we going to continue this lopsided limping?
00:52It ain't going to limp no more, Mr. Clemens. We're lucky to get here.
00:56Where are we?
00:58Luke McCain's place.
01:00I'm going to need help with this wheel. If we expect to make North Fork.
01:04I bought a ticket for Santa Fe.
01:06I'll get you there just as soon as possible, Mr. Clemens.
01:09But we have to lay over North Fork for repairs.
01:12Lay over?
01:14Yeah.
01:15How long?
01:17Oh, a day, maybe two.
01:20What are you waiting for, boy?
01:22Go get your daddy before we're too old to continue the journey at all.
01:25Yes, sir. I mean, Paul, be right here.
01:30He'll be right here, Mr. Twain.
01:32Don't worry. He'll sure help you.
01:35Well, I'll be a coyote's uncle.
01:38Mark Twain.
01:48All right, let's see what we can do.
01:55That wheel doesn't seem too badly damaged.
01:57Can't you complete the repairs?
01:59Not so. It'll hold all the way to Santa Fe.
02:01I don't have the proper tools.
02:02But don't worry, Mr. Twain.
02:03You won't miss that lecture engagement.
02:06North Fork's got the best blacksmith in these parts.
02:09Some of his machinery came through from Chicago.
02:12Well, home.
02:14Of course, of course.
02:17I always hoped that I'd meet you, Mr. Twain.
02:20Paul and me, we've read all your books.
02:24My name's Mark, too.
02:26Of course, I know that Mark Twain's not your real name.
02:29It's, uh, uh, Nome de Plume.
02:32Someday when I'm a writer, I'm going to think one up, too.
02:36Paul says it takes hard work to get to be a writer.
02:39Lots of studying, too.
02:40That's the only part I don't quite like.
02:46We play the history post game at school.
02:49That's the game that you thought up to help your children learn important dates.
02:54You play that here?
02:56Yep.
02:56It's swell fun.
02:58There's only one part we don't quite understand.
03:01What's that?
03:02Well, suppose you get tagged before you pass the Columbus Post.
03:08Do you have to go all the way back when it gets to be your own trip?
03:11Well, that depends.
03:14Depends on your running speed.
03:16We're 11 posts and we're...
03:21I haven't time for all these questions, boy.
03:23Puzzle it out for yourself.
03:31I didn't mean anything.
03:33Why did he get so riled up?
03:35Mr. Twain's had a long trip, son.
03:37He's probably tired and a little edgy.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah, that's what it is.
03:44He's tired.
03:45He's plum tuckered out.
04:00Well, actually, I'll start working on that wheel just as quick as I get her unloaded.
04:04Very well.
04:05The hotel has feather matches, billiard tables.
04:08Best accommodations west of Denver.
04:10My dear sir, I hope that I will not be marooned here long enough to make comparisons.
04:18Get out of here.
04:33Finish the game.
04:35I'll be right back.
04:42Sorry, sorry to keep you waiting.
04:44I was just...
04:47If you sign...
04:48I'm right here, please.
04:50Hey, Eddie, come back and finish the game.
04:52You're not right now.
04:53I'm busy.
04:59You're going to play or ain't you?
05:01Give me a room or I won't be disturbed.
05:04Yes, sir.
05:05I think I've got just the thing for you, Mr. S. Clemens.
05:11Wait, you're...
05:12You're Mark Twain.
05:14Book writer, what's the room number?
05:16Uh, 24.
05:17This is a pleasure.
05:19A real pleasure.
05:20I'll show you what, Mr. Twain.
05:21Here's a call that wrote about traveling on the Overland stage.
05:23I've always had a hankering to meet up with you.
05:26What was it you called that book?
05:28The book is called Roughing It, a title that should come easily to you.
05:31I was one of them station keepers you described.
05:33I'm right this way, Mr. Twain.
05:35Look, the half-savages, that's what you called us.
05:37Said we fed the travelers water with dishrag and sand to flavor it.
05:41Now you get out of the way, Russell.
05:43Your book caused such a stir, the company sent men out to check the outlying stations.
05:47Your lies cost me a job.
05:49The power of the pen is mightier than the sword.
05:52How fortunate for travelers that you are no longer an employee of the Overland company.
05:56Fortunate?
05:57Fortunate!
06:01Fortunate!
06:22Mark, if Mr. Twain does come down before we leave, can I ask him to go fishing in the morning?
06:33He loves to go fishing.
06:35Mark, when you're as famous as he is, I imagine people swarm around wherever you go.
06:40Well, I guess they do.
06:42It doesn't give you much of a chance for, well, just thinking.
06:48You mean I shouldn't even talk to Mr. Twain?
06:52Well, he talks to you.
06:54Give him some thinking room.
06:57All right.
07:02There he is, Pa.
07:06That's Mark Twain.
07:07Mark, sit down.
07:09Remember, uh, thinking room?
07:15Good evening, Mr. Twain.
07:17Good evening.
07:17We have some delicious roast beef.
07:19An apple pie that'll melt in your mouth.
07:22Just bring me a bowl of soup.
07:24It doesn't matter what kind.
07:27Yes, sir.
07:35Hey, McCain, how about a little game?
07:37No, thanks.
07:38I'll spot you ten points out of twenty, play you for a quarter of a point.
07:40Now, you can't hardly afford to turn that down.
07:42I never play for money, Mr. Russell.
07:44Trouble with folks around here, always scared to lose.
07:47Not scared, just smart.
07:49You finish up some, we've got to be getting home.
07:51Fifty dollars says ain't nobody in town can beat me.
07:54I know someone who can, Mr. Twain.
07:58Playing billiards is his hobby.
08:00Why, you know, he's beat most everybody in the East.
08:03You don't even know what he's talking about?
08:05Anything about Mark Twain, Mark McCain knows.
08:15Hey, uh, I hear you're quite a billiards player.
08:18Fifty dollars says you can't beat me.
08:21Think you can?
08:22I don't think of you at all, sir.
08:26Well, you're seventy dollars.
08:27My whole role says you play billiards like you write.
08:30Rotten.
08:32I won't play with you, Mr. Russell.
08:34But you may set up the balls.
08:37As difficult a three-cushion shot as you choose.
08:40Winner take all.
08:42You mean you're going to make any three-cushion shot I set up?
08:46Exactly.
08:47Come along, Mr. Ryder, man.
08:50Mr. Ruffinit's going to give me a present.
09:00Come on.
09:03All right.
09:05It's all yours, Mr. Ruffinit.
09:35¡Gracias!
10:05¡Gracias!
10:18¡Gracias!
10:33¡Gracias!
10:37¡Gracias!
10:38Bragging and brain is the same thing, Mr. Russell.
10:40The only difference is the latter noise.
10:42It comes from the throat of an animal with much longer ears.
10:46Good evening, sir.
10:49Sir, he called me a mule.
10:53All right.
10:55Excuse me.
11:05At a moment.
11:19¡Gracias!
11:51¡Gracias!
12:07So where'd you say that fishing hole was over there behind those trees well you go ahead and bait up
12:12for both of us
12:12I'll hover the horses so they can graze
12:14Good morning, good morning, Mr. Twain
12:34You got a bite, Mr. Twain
12:36Right, but before I get your way
12:37Land him, boy
12:39You land him
12:41Sure
12:42Thanks
12:50He sure is a beauty
12:52Want me to clean him for you?
12:54No, no thank you, boy
12:56You keep him
12:58Oh, thanks
12:59Say, Mr. Twain
13:00Some of us kids have been saving money from our chores
13:03And we sent for a subscription to that magazine that's been printing chapters from your new book
13:10Huckleberry Finn
13:11Uh-huh
13:12Sure is exciting
13:13They print a chapter each month
13:15Only thing is it
13:17It takes an awful long time for mail to get here from Boston
13:22It does
13:24Yep, and
13:25And so seeing as you're here
13:27Some of the kids were wondering if
13:28If maybe you could tell us what's going to happen in the next chapter so we won't
13:32Won't have to wait so long to find out
13:36Will you, Mr. Twain?
13:38What's the matter with you, boy?
13:40Why do you keep bothering me?
13:42Huckleberry Finn is dead
13:46He's dead
13:48I tell you, he's dead
13:54Wait
13:56Wait, boy
14:01Mr. Twain, you shouldn't have talked to the boy that way
