00:23Hello out there, Peabody here, along with my pet boy Sherman and my wayback machine.
00:29Sherman is the one in the short trousers.
00:31The wayback's all warmed up, Mr. Peabody.
00:33Excellent, Sherman. Set the indicator for the year 1885.
00:37And our destination?
00:38Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, where we'll meet Annie Oakley.
00:42Like all of my inventions, the wayback behaved flawlessly, transporting Sherman and me inside Annie Oakley's dressing room.
00:49We were just in time to witness a superb exhibition of marksmanship.
00:54Wow, she didn't miss one.
00:56Remarkable, Miss Oakley, remarkable.
00:58You mean remarkably bad, don't you?
01:01I wouldn't call five out of five bad.
01:03I would. I wasn't aiming at them glasses.
01:06She directed our attention to a large target hanging on the wall.
01:09I've taken 49 shots at that thing and I ain't hit it yet.
01:13Watch.
01:13I was certain this time she would definitely hit the target, especially since she was standing but two feet away
01:18from it.
01:21Unbelievable, ain't it?
01:22Perhaps if you had your eyes examined.
01:24Oh, my eyes is all right.
01:26It's this here brand new gun.
01:27I just can't get used to it.
01:29Now my old gun...
01:31What happened to your old gun, Miss Oakley?
01:33It was swiped.
01:34Stolen?
01:34Uh-huh.
01:35And for the life of me, I can't figure out why.
01:37The reason became apparent as soon as Buffalo Bill stepped into the room.
01:41I've got good news for you, Annie.
01:43I just arranged a special shooting match for tonight and I bet everything we got.
01:50Oh?
01:51Who is Miss Oakley's competition?
01:53A fella named Forrest Primeval.
01:56He's dead certain he can out-shoot you, Annie.
01:58He's got a good bet, Bill.
02:01Sharks, Annie.
02:02Ain't no one shoots better than you.
02:05Yes, sir, I bet everything we got.
02:09Annie, what is the major difference between this new rifle and your old one?
02:12Ain't much difference, except maybe in the shape.
02:15Annie produced a picture of her old gun.
02:18And the shape was out of the ordinary.
02:20I used to use it for shooting around trees.
02:23Couldn't you bend this new rifle to look like the old one, Mr. Peabody?
02:26My dear boy, I'm a genius, not a Hercules.
02:29There was only one thing to do, recover Annie's old rifle.
02:33And I had a hunch where it might be.
02:36By midnight tonight, I'll be richer one Wild West show.
02:40Forrest Primeval?
02:41Who are you?
02:42My name is Peabody.
02:44I've come for Annie Oakley's rifle.
02:46Oh, of course, of course.
02:48I merely borrowed it.
02:50You'll find it lying on the stove.
02:51Here, take it, Sherman.
02:53Golly, Mr. Peabody, it melted.
02:56Aw, I guess I left it on the stove too long.
02:59Well, do give my best to Miss Oakley.
03:02See you at the match tonight.
03:03That evening, a huge crowd assembled in the main tent to witness the titanic struggle.
03:07I tell you, if I have to shoot this here straight rifle, I ain't gonna hit nothing.
03:11Except maybe some people.
03:13Primeval, on the other hand, was a picture of confidence.
03:16Buffalo Bill and I went over the rules this morning.
03:18Annie and I both get one shot to hit a one-cent piece
03:22that's sitting one hundred feet away on top of Buffalo Bill's head.
03:26I'll go first.
03:27Primeval primed his evil gun, took aim, fired.
03:32There.
03:33That should be close enough to win.
03:35Reluctantly, Annie raised her new rifle.
03:38Just then, we arrived on the scene.
03:39My gun?
03:40Did you bring my trusty old gun?
03:42Yes, but we found it in a somewhat liquefied state.
03:45Well, even I can't shoot a gun like that.
03:49Perhaps I can.
03:50Hey, what's going on here?
03:51Look, Miss Oakley, either you shoot or forfeit the match.
03:55Having no alternative, Annie shouldered the new rifle.
03:58Gee, Mr. Peabody, it looks hopeless.
04:00Not hopeless, Sherman.
04:01Just bad.
04:02If I can fire exactly when she does, perhaps I can deflect her bullet to the target.
04:07That's impossible, Mr. Peabody.
04:09Nothing is impossible for a Peabody.
04:11You may shoot when ready, Miss Oakley.
04:13At what, pray tell?
04:15At the coin on Buffalo Bill's head.
04:18Annie shrugged, then fired, and so did I.
04:23You did it, Mr. Peabody!
04:24What else?
04:25Annie girl plumb smack in the middle.
04:30Needless to say, Buffalo Bill kept his Wild West show,
04:32while Annie Oakley kept her reputation.
04:35As for Forrest Primeval, he fell into a severe state of shock.
04:38So severe, he couldn't move a muscle.
04:41And strange as it seems, as the years wore on,
04:43Primeval became a national monument.
04:46But then I suppose you've heard of him.
04:49Petrified Forrest?
04:53The End
04:53The End
04:54The End
04:54The End
04:58The End
04:59Ha, ha, ha, ha!
