black eyed pea under one of these shells

you're on earth uh

try picking one well i don't know that

gambling is legal in the city hall

but as cheaper police as well as mayor

i'll overlook at this time

it's easy ate it wait a minute pets

fun is fun but the mayor may have

something more important to tend to

frankly this game fascinates me let me

see if i can do it again all right just

one moment

hey this is fun i bet i could pick that

little black p

every time would you like to make a

little bet now pat

never mind roy we'll make just a small

wager say

uh ten dollars

ten dollars well five of them well

[Applause]

easy shooting fish in the barrel you

better practice a little

i just don't think i got the hang of

this yet

yes i guess everyone down to claims

office well i was crazy when i filed a

homestead this land

they said all i'd find was a lot of

desert and a ghost town

well that suits me all right i bet you

found a gold deposit

maybe i didn't maybe i didn't i'm not

talking

but i guarantee this property will be

worth a minute before long

but you're the mining engineer you ought

to know well i guess we better be

heading back to mineral city

yeah i don't like to keep nelly bell out

too late she gets a little hard to start

in the dark

oh sorry you have to go folks and thanks

again for taking care of my little girl

anytime you get lonely betty you come in

and have dinner with us huh thank you

be pleased to see you anytime mayor you

know mayor

i'm worried about you folks those

bushwhackers weren't fooling

maybe they know there's a mint in this

property too don't worry roy

i've got plenty of firearms and

ammunition thanks again folks

well thank you for your hospitality

[Music]

yes sir no he's practicing this game

unless i have somebody to pick out the

black eyed pea

so how about a bullet suppose you picked

the child that has the black eye pier

huh come on

[Music]

well mustard and custard i can't even

beat a dumb animal

oh

[Music]

what's the matter god has been shot

someone fired down through the window

i was afraid something like this would

happen dale

you better know the father's share we'll

see you to get to the doc's office right

roy

how you feeling well i got it in the

shoulder it's a good thing that betty

knew her first aid are out of blood to

death

those low down sneaking rattlers

ambushing me now take it easy mayor

let's have a dog take a look at that

shoulder

[Music]

what do you think is behind all this roy

i don't know sheriff the mayor doesn't

say much he just claims the property is

valuable

you know he's a mining engineer maybe he

discovered a new load

that's what he must have done otherwise

the outlaws wouldn't be trying to chase

him away

sheriff blodgett yes i'm looking for

little information

well what can i do for you my name is

john parish and i represent the railroad

i'm trying to find the legal owner of

that ghost town red dog well that's

mighty interesting this here's roy

rogers mr parrish how do you do sir how

do you do

what's the railroad want with red dog

we're figuring on running a spur there

we want to use the town as a switch yard

mainly for freight

so that's it so that's what that's why a

red dog became so important all of a

sudden

i understand peter arnold filed a

homestead on red dog and it belongs to

him

well there's some doubt about that it

seems that two parties filed

one of them that croton and i'm here to

find the legal owner

ned croton huh say he's that lawyer used

to practice around here

yep and he was just barred after that

fake mining deal he pulled

let's take a ride out the red dog and

see what this is all about you better

come along with us mr parrish

[Music]

yeah for the outlaw of ambush peter

arnold

you know anything about it me not a

thing

might as well come in and said if you're

going to ask questions am i coming

not at all the more the merrier

well it's not very comfortable but this

is the way i found it some writers

ripped up all the improvements in here

what improvements well i was in here

yesterday this office's need is a pen

probably the same man that ambushed

arnold i'm afraid i don't know what you

two are talking about

what are you doing here anyway croton

i'm in possession of this property

i filed a claim on it now wait a minute

i happen to know that peter arnold filed

a claim here

he did well either he filed too late or

he didn't comply with the law what law

the law that says you must improve your

property a hundred dollars a year

you can see for yourself this place

hasn't been improved five cents worth

it was improved when i saw it i still

don't know what you're talking about

maybe i'm talking about claim jumping

now wait a minute roy you can't call me

a claim jumper

what i'm doing is according to the law

and let me remind you that possession

and acquaint decision is nine points of

that law i'm afraid he's right

however the railroad company is not

going to get mixed up in this until it's

settled legally

and be settled legally as soon as i put

in my hundred dollars worth of

improvements

let's take a look at the place hasn't

been a thing done here in years

falling apart with dry rot looks like

he's got a stymid roy

this is a matter for the court to decide

let's go

[Music]

this is my property rogers and i'm

inviting you to leave

you heard me get out it's funny thing

croton

you said this place was falling apart

with dry rot

doesn't look like dry rot to me i

believe somebody deliberately busted

these things up

you're too nosy for your own good

rodgers now are you going to dwight

[Music]

[Music]

well what kept you a little private

business with crew

i'm afraid he's got us roy it's up to

the courts you heard what parish said i

guess i wasn't listening

what happened to you looks like you got

mixed up with a buzz saw just a little

argument with rogers

they didn't gain anything legally yeah

but what if he and the others swear that

this property was improved

i gotta hunch rogers and that old mining

engineer won't get a chance to testify

come on let's go to town

what can i do for you you can tell me

where peter arnold is

why i've got business with him maybe he

doesn't want to do any business with you

that'll be for me to decide now where is

he

i don't know oh stop fooling let's get

her out

get that don't move shoot him you're not

gonna

[Music]

croton and he's claimed jumping i'm more

than stunned

hi bullet what's up fella what's the

matter

hey pat something's wrong

[Music]

hi betty have you seen dale i know she

was here a month ago

that's funny say i'd say dale's in

trouble who's your father

he's upstairs taking a nap pat

you better stay here and look after

betty and her father this might be a

trick of some kind pull up now see if we

can find it come on

you're in good hands now betty

[Music]

go find

iraq and he'll show up he's bound to you

here to tell the dog to go fetch him

final rogers he won't wait for a posse

and he'll see that's just fine

[Music]

here he comes get ready

[Music]

you'll never get that chance mr croft

keep your eye on rogers i don't know

where he is he just had a sight

and spread out we've got to find him

all right let's go before that wolf

passes apart

[Music]

roy

[Music]

it's a good thing you got hit with the

wrong end of that gun as far as i'm

concerned they're both wrong ends

now if that had to happen to me it would

have busted his gun handled

while my old man used to say you could

crack walnuts on my soul

and i believe it sure

speaking of walnuts miss betty

do you suppose you could pick out the

shell that has the black eyed pea

under it pat not that again put those

things away pat we've got work to do

you and i are riding out the red dog

well i'm going with you i have a score

to settle too

well my arm doesn't feel so bad i'll go

along you're going to stay here

okay but i'll give you a tip that might

prove useful to you

there's a back way leading up into that

city hall it's the shaft of an old mine

this must be it there's the ladder

[Music]

i'll go up first

[Music]

you're the death of a dog yeah what are

you blaming me for

beans again is that all you got to eat

around here

you don't like it fix your own grub now

wait a minute there's no sense of

fighting

as soon as the court gives us legal

possession will sell out to the railroad

and get out of here

you won't have to eat beans anymore that

sounds good to me

well i'll tell you how it sounds to me

after i hear the court's decision

listen i know my law and the longer we

stay here

the easier it will be to claim

possession all right get him up

you won't be in possession long

[Music]

stay right where you are mr croton

[Applause]

on your feet hey roy dale look

i know what his alibi and card will be

he'll say he was framed um

mr croton you're going to have a chance

to use all the law you ever knew

get going and i want to say

that i shall accept my responsibilities

as

mayor of despair community seriously

and earnestly and i will give this town

the type of government it is entitled to

first of all

i shall institute the police for second

to none

here's a little game of exercise and

perception

the hand is pricked in the eye now the

idea is for you

to pick the shell that has the black eye

pee others now watch closely

[Music]

i've done it i've finally done it

seems as though something's missing

aloysius what some people won't do to

win a bet

are you considering that i didn't use a

black eyed pea in this game

what well here it is mr baby

thank you betty i guess that'll put an

end to pat's gambling for a while

maybe you'd better see that we don't

have black eyed peas on the menu anymore

[Music]

until we meet again

me
