Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's hop Along Cassidy with action and suspense. Out of
the Old West comes the most famous hero of them all,
hop Along Cassidy starring William Boys the Ring of the
(00:24):
Silver Spairs Heroes, the most amazing man of it arrived
the prairies of the Early West, hop Along Cassidy. This
famous hero drills his sixty million fans with action and
dangerous adventure in the role of pop Along Cassidy is
the popular star of the motion picture series William Boy
and now another exciting story of the Early West, The
(00:48):
King of Spades Round up. Time at the Old Far
twenty has come and gone, and Happy has taking a
leave of Apton to do a special favor for a friend,
the head of a railroad that's pushing out through the
lonely mountain ranges of the Southwest. Together with California and
(01:11):
an engineer named Reno, Ryan Hoppy leads an exploring party
seeking an unmapped pass through the Purgatory Range. Night overtakes
them just before they reach the colorful border town of Mesa, Seka.
The men sit around their campfires talking and singing, while Happy,
(01:32):
California and Reno discuss the terrain ahead with their guide Francisco.
The bad lungs beyond Mesa sacred would be the worst,
Yetsy you So whatever it is, wild and lonely, whose
crossed tough country before Francisco? See put bad lungs is
deeper than ego if you seed it without laws and
murderers usually read a chief FIRSTY could him in Jesus
(01:54):
in the austy arrest for money? Have they got a
leader or she? He is one few men have seen.
He calls him lay. How you say of the King
of Space, the King of Spage? Why do they come him? Man?
Because in your cassidy these victims are found usually with
the King of Spades on the chest and a knight
(02:17):
or even through. It seems to me that what the
bad lands need is the positive vigilanda is to go
in and clean it out. There has been such talk before.
But he's King of Spade. He has friends with the
politicos of the character you mean, Miss Doug, has political
drags with whom I think weki party of Don Carlos Jackson,
(02:37):
the American, the local politician. And see tomorrow night is
the grandieres things Mesa Seka. They celebrate the election of
the new territorial delegate to Washington. The election was very
close in your the Carsey of don't call us almost
want well if he lost, I don't guess he cuts
(02:58):
much eyes around here? Aye, you mistake Carlos. He's still
most powerful. He's close to the alcalde mayor charge of
masa sake. Tell me, Francisco, who do you think the
king of stayed? Really? I do not know for sure,
but I think maybe he's done. Carlos Jackson himself, he
(03:25):
sounds like the horses are catching a whip of a coyote.
Uh course, coyotes. He's gonery, big as word. I guess
you too, Armory. We're gonna have a chance of catching
up on your dancing tomorrow night. Jay. You figure we
can stay over long enough to go to back Fiesta?
Why not? Besides? I want to meet this don Carlos Jackson. Hey,
(03:47):
what's wrong with the heart? That's Francisco. Come on, Francisco.
What's the matter.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Dark?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What's happened Francisco? Well? Wait here he is lined by
our suppliers, Francisco. What happened? They bring that lamp over here? Yeah?
Set up down, Francisco. What holy mackerel he's been nice.
Look into his body for that knife A car. Yeah,
(04:18):
the King of Spade come back to hop Along Cassidy
(05:18):
and our story The King of Spades. While leading an
exploring party, Hoppy makes camp for the night justice side
of the border town of Mesa, Ska. The Guide has
just expressed his opinion that a local bandit leader who
(05:38):
calls himself the King of Spades is actually a local
politician named Don Carlos Jackson. A few minutes later, the
Guide is found stabbed to death with a King of
Spades on his chest. The following morning, Hoppy in California
gather in the office of the Alcalde, the mayor and
judge of Meska, Don Felipe dept In.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Senor Cassidy, I should be everything possible to bring his
murderer to justice.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I can't understand, Dawn Philip. He is why you
and your vigilantes have mopped up on this King of
Stage and his gang long ago.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It is not so easy, Senor Cassidy. He's not everywhere
my deputy doing Carlas Jackson has.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Been trying on Carlos Jackson. He see even now he.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Is out with the vigilantes looking for the murder.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Of your guy Happy this night. The killer used it
doesn't look like any local Indian knife to me, it isn't.
Indians may take scalp, but they don't notch their knives.
That's a white man's trick. Listen, vigilantes. He returned, Yeah,
I can see him through the window. I don't see
him bringing in any prisoners that he's doing, Carlos, who's
(06:48):
coming up to Veranda? When Don Philippe, a gentlemen harlock
is no better than yours and turning down that? Obviously
it's someone who knows the country well, an Indian probably,
I wonder you have cause to think otherwise, Cassidy and
the Indian would have come up win so the horses
(07:10):
couldn't send him. But that's neither here nor there. Right now,
my men and I have to be moving on, and
I need another guide, one who knows the bad land
to take, a brave man who accept us your job, Cassidy,
do you know of one? Frankly no, but it can
be arranged.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
If you mean surrender to black mail colors, the office
of Chalde cannot be part of.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You, don't. Filippe is a man of honor. Gentlemen, and
so we all. But if you wish to be practical,
shall we go outside? All right? Thank you, Don Philippy.
Your kindness and hospitality will be remembered.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You will any he hasted tonight at the Grand Pasiganda.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We shall look forward to it hastily. Weigos to you, Cassidy.
The way this matter is usually arranged is to send
a messenger into the Batlands. If successful, a guide will
be furnished. If this pass through the mountains exists, I'll
(08:13):
know where to find it. And the prize, well, some
poonds will have to be greased here and there, and
the king is spayed. Five thousand dollars will cover everything.
Five thousand dollars. I wouldn't pay five a half cents
and a high binding bandit whoever lived for permission that
cross pre American territory? I see, Well that's the spirit,
(08:36):
say Hoppy. Will just look what's riding this way on
that honey step from Palomino. Oh, Senor out here Sallorry,
Senor Isle. Here, this is Senor Hablon Cassidy and the
California Colston of the Railroad surveying party who arrived today.
Senor al hero Is famous for the palomena she breeds
(08:58):
on a rouncher. There's only one thing prettier than a
blooded palomina Sanora, and that's a beautiful woman who knows
how to ride him.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I have heard of your fame as a covoice and
your cat what I do not know. You are also
clever with the compliments. I will see you at the
Festa tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I would miss it.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Breno Chloris, do not trouble Carlos. I can find my way.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I want to win us. This beautiful and riches she is.
She can avoided me independently. Yeah, I would huh. Well.
I hope you, gentlemen, find the guide you're looking for
if you change your mind about the negotiations I suggested,
don't have to call on me. See you at the
fiesta tonight. Yeah, tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So Samorti, the famous hero is a very all tired
from a pure little dancers.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I didn't ask you to come out on the round.
It wasn't it because I was tired. No, I thought
we both could use a little fresh air and some
of that moonlight.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You reached to refresh, you said with a little romance
before going into the badlines.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Tomorrow. Well, from what I hear, it'll take more than
the refreshing memories of a romance to see me through
that stretch of purgatory.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think maybe you are right, Senor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
One of the reasons I've stayed over at Masasayko for
the FISTA was to have a look at some of
its leading citizens. Seems to me a big scale Bandit
like the King of Spade, been hard to get along
without help from some of the big wheels running this territory,
for instance. Well, to take a name out of the hat,
it might even be Don Carlos Jackson.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
To not let Don Carlos hear you see such things,
it would be most dangerous.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's at you, Hobby. Have you seen her? Way here?
Mister Lorri's cob and looking all over for you. I
got the next stage. Remember how are you making that?
With those waltzes and tangoed California? Very much like them?

grabbed Miguel and let nature take its course.
Speaker 3 (11:14):

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Thank you, Senora. Gentlemen will stand the one side. I
already said it was my Dan Cassiley, see you heard him.
I think, Hey, don't you too, hombre start knopping. I
wouldn't reach inside that coach Jackson. He's got a gun
hot on you up, California. What trigger like a knife? Jackson?
(12:18):
Triggle type off the floor, an friends of that's had

trying to trace the owner.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Wait As West, because here it is the night that
same knife was used by Jackson's man, Trigo an attempt
to murder still another man, namely me. Well, just the same.
I still need a guy, and I think Jackson can
help me get one.

US ender. We three these quarters are through that tool.
But if he returns and finds.
Speaker 1 (13:27):

and he tried to take my life, so or even

the what did you copy? What did you pick up there? Oh? Yeah,
(14:11):
a deck of cards. Happy the designe on the back
of those cards, right, it's the same as on the
card we found on Francisco's body.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What most catsier, They are the most comedy, cry did
are many.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Such decks in Nis? I wonder there's one thing about
this back of cards that there's different from any I've
ever seen before. Every one of them, exactly, every one
of them is the King of Spath. Before we continue,
(14:49):
here is a word from your an Outfits home back
(15:50):
to hop Along Cassidy on our story the King of States.
In an attempt to discover the identity of a bandit
chief known only as the King of Spades, Hoppy halts
his railroad exploring party over night at the border town
(16:11):
of Mesa, Sekka. After an attempt on their lives by
Don Carlos Jackson and his gunman Frigo. The two cowboys
invade Jackson's quarters during his absence, and there discover an
interesting deck of cards, every one of which is a
King of Spades. Just then, the pounding of hooks in
the distance and a burst of gunfire brings them out running. Listen,
(16:37):
sounds like our boys have gone that renal Ryan, he
must have heard the shoot, and now he's left Camp
White open while he needs to wrest you Buck. Let's
get to him fast. Let's go, bob, holy neck, Hoppy,
there's about two hundred of these towns fighting. Our boys.
Godsend to Uno White, Cody, get back. We'll come here
the street, then go back to see you thought you
(16:59):
and California was garnered. I we'll talk about that later.
Let's get out of here before we're all killed, all right,
get them around to kick her distance. Let's dunt the camp.
Let's pound lever.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
The camp's still here, much as they didn't burn it
while you and the boards were busting up the town.
All right, Lord, those fields were breaking camp. What about
a guide? Happy? All we got here if you may.
If she ain't much good, we'll make the best we can. California.
We just haven't got a guide on that staff. What
Senora right here jumping camfish word you come, kom What
(17:53):
are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I finally come deserted when I rode out here, so
I waited in those shadows for your return. You see, Hoppy,
is necessary from Messa Seca to atone for this wrong
it has done to you and your men. So I
will guide you through the bad land. You see, when
I am a school girl, my father's luncho covers all
of the badlands and more beyond. He takes me on
many hunting trips to these badlands. Now this rancho is gone,
(18:18):
but I remember that Countrary.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, am, Look, I appreciate your offers and your I am.
Speaker 3 (18:23):

shoot as well. See I have brought my belt and gone,
and my bedroom is tacked on my horse. I know
the nove how tongue and I can cull it is separate.
I shall guide you to furgatory mountains. I shall atone
for the dishonor.

(19:02):
three games. We've been plugging boodos here devilish country. And
she ain't targe ye, I ain't never seen such a gale.
Somehow I got the feeling she's not so sure of
herself since we got up into the barren mountains. How
how do you mean hoppy? The way she keeps looking
around as though she's trying to find landmarks that ought
to be there. But all right, I'll tell you the truth.
If we don't find that pass pretty soon, I'm gonna
(19:24):
begin to get a little worried. We're shark shoppy. She
keeps on seeing we're bound to hit it if we
just follow this road, I hope. So she pull it up.
What is it look top that rocky peak? Three four
miles that ahead? That flashing Yeah, some run on that mountain,
sitting out the vivimun So I noticed that morse code.

They used to signal with smulk, but now it's with mirrors.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
There is nothing to fear. They are only number who
hunters who signal a presence to each other.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, hey, what are you doing with that little mirror?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I signal them for directions.

when your ransom arrives.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Ransom, eh, I asked.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Only five thousand dollars for you, passic the badland boss.
If you take a little more, I think you redeem
your valuable fight.

Shall we say twenty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:11):

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well, I remember that deck of cards I took from
Jackson Broom. They were all kings of Spain, I'm sure,
but you I just slipped them out of my pocket
as we rode along, dropping one every fifty yards or so. Lucky,
that's plays more than they fathers. I'll ride at the
bottom of the deck, and so an excitement adventure ends
(27:27):
for Hoppy in California. They'll get back to the bar
twenty just about round up time, and settle down to
a peaceful ranch life. Leave a hankering. It won't last
for very long. Somewhere there'll be trouble, and that's when
Hopey will ride out into another dangerous escapade. If you'd

judge of Meska, Don Felipe dept In.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Senor Cassidy, I should be everything possible to bring his
murderer to justice.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I can't understand, Dawn Philip. He is why you
and your vigilantes have mopped up on this King of
Stage and his gang long ago.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It is not so easy, Senor Cassidy. He's not everywhere
my deputy doing Carlas Jackson has.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Been trying on Carlos Jackson. He see even now he.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Is out with the vigilantes looking for the murder.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Of your guy Happy this night. The killer used it
doesn't look like any local Indian knife to me, it isn't.
Indians may take scalp, but they don't notch their knives.
That's a white man's trick. Listen, vigilantes. He returned, Yeah,
I can see him through the window. I don't see
him bringing in any prisoners that he's doing, Carlos, who's
(06:48):
coming up to Veranda? When Don Philippe, a gentlemen harlock
is no better than yours and turning down that? Obviously
it's someone who knows the country well, an Indian probably,
I wonder you have cause to think otherwise, Cassidy and
the Indian would have come up win so the horses
(07:10):
couldn't send him. But that's neither here nor there. Right now,
my men and I have to be moving on, and
I need another guide, one who knows the bad land
to take, a brave man who accept us your job, Cassidy,
do you know of one? Frankly no, but it can
be arranged.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
If you mean surrender to black mail colors, the office
of Chalde cannot be part of.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You, don't. Filippe is a man of honor. Gentlemen, and
so we all. But if you wish to be practical,
shall we go outside? All right? Thank you, Don Philippy.
Your kindness and hospitality will be remembered.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You will any he hasted tonight at the Grand Pasiganda.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We shall look forward to it hastily. Weigos to you, Cassidy.
The way this matter is usually arranged is to send
a messenger into the Batlands. If successful, a guide will
be furnished. If this pass through the mountains exists, I'll
(08:13):
know where to find it. And the prize, well, some
poonds will have to be greased here and there, and
the king is spayed. Five thousand dollars will cover everything.
Five thousand dollars. I wouldn't pay five a half cents
and a high binding bandit whoever lived for permission that
cross pre American territory? I see, Well that's the spirit,
(08:36):
say Hoppy. Will just look what's riding this way on
that honey step from Palomino. Oh, Senor out here Sallorry,
Senor Isle. Here, this is Senor Hablon Cassidy and the
California Colston of the Railroad surveying party who arrived today.
Senor al hero Is famous for the palomena she breeds
(08:58):
on a rouncher. There's only one thing prettier than a
blooded palomina Sanora, and that's a beautiful woman who knows
how to ride him.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I have heard of your fame as a covoice and
your cat what I do not know. You are also
clever with the compliments. I will see you at the
Festa tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I would miss it.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Breno Chloris, do not trouble Carlos. I can find my way.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I want to win us. This beautiful and riches she is.
She can avoided me independently. Yeah, I would huh. Well.
I hope you, gentlemen, find the guide you're looking for
if you change your mind about the negotiations I suggested,
don't have to call on me. See you at the
fiesta tonight. Yeah, tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So Samorti, the famous hero is a very all tired
from a pure little dancers.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I didn't ask you to come out on the round.
It wasn't it because I was tired. No, I thought
we both could use a little fresh air and some
of that moonlight.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You reached to refresh, you said with a little romance
before going into the badlines.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Tomorrow. Well, from what I hear, it'll take more than
the refreshing memories of a romance to see me through
that stretch of purgatory.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think maybe you are right, Senor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
One of the reasons I've stayed over at Masasayko for
the FISTA was to have a look at some of
its leading citizens. Seems to me a big scale Bandit
like the King of Spade, been hard to get along
without help from some of the big wheels running this territory,
for instance. Well, to take a name out of the hat,
it might even be Don Carlos Jackson.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
To not let Don Carlos hear you see such things,
it would be most dangerous.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's at you, Hobby. Have you seen her? Way here?
Mister Lorri's cob and looking all over for you. I
got the next stage. Remember how are you making that?
With those waltzes and tangoed California? Very much like them?
Hold down, I'm used to, But oh shucks, I just
grabbed Miguel and let nature take its course.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
That is what I do, Senor. Oh, why are not
the rest of your minute? If yes, Senor Castidy.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, under the circumstances, I thought, at best they stand
god of our camp. They had your towns Laury. Hello,
Cassidy Collison, Oh uh, this is my right hand man,
Trigo Gonzalez cheeves at vigilanties when a tart it Senora,

Are all of the senor our hero looking here?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Do not quar? It's definitely argument, are you Johns with
senior guy?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Thank you, Senora. Gentlemen will stand the one side. I
already said it was my Dan Cassiley, see you heard him.
I think, Hey, don't you too, hombre start knopping. I
wouldn't reach inside that coach Jackson. He's got a gun
hot on you up, California. What trigger like a knife? Jackson?
(12:18):
Triggle type off the floor, an friends of that's had
to happen. Come on, California, let's get out of here.
Evening going, Philippe, don't be frightened. We doubled back here
(12:40):
to your house end and loft that gang chasing ess.
I want a word with you, of course, he looks
struggle already. I can see you, Cassie. Ask Senor out
here about how it started? What do you assul information?
One end of the knife that killed our guide Francisco.
It was left with you for evidence the night way.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I gave it to doing Colas Jackson, who has been
trying to trace the owner.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Wait As West, because here it is the night that
same knife was used by Jackson's man, Trigo an attempt
to murder still another man, namely me. Well, just the same.
I still need a guy, and I think Jackson can
help me get one.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What does he say, beer Singer? Here he shows the
US ender. We three these quarters are through that tool.
But if he returns and finds.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You here, where did you call it the Jackson's room? Senior?
You fire ate my hospitality, not yours, Don Philipe, Jackson
and he tried to take my life, so or even
come on in California? What are them curtains over the
(13:50):
bed for the rope route, Senor Cassidy, What are you
looking for in that desk? Evidence? Don Philipe? Evidence edidence
of what? Evidence of? Yeah? And I think this is
the what did you copy? What did you pick up there? Oh? Yeah,
(14:11):
a deck of cards. Happy the designe on the back
of those cards, right, it's the same as on the
card we found on Francisco's body.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What most catsier, They are the most comedy, cry did
are many.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Such decks in Nis? I wonder there's one thing about
this back of cards that there's different from any I've
ever seen before. Every one of them, exactly, every one
of them is the King of Spath. Before we continue,
(14:49):
here is a word from your an Outfits home back
(15:50):
to hop Along Cassidy on our story the King of States.
In an attempt to discover the identity of a bandit
chief known only as the King of Spades, Hoppy halts
his railroad exploring party over night at the border town
(16:11):
of Mesa, Sekka. After an attempt on their lives by
Don Carlos Jackson and his gunman Frigo. The two cowboys
invade Jackson's quarters during his absence, and there discover an
interesting deck of cards, every one of which is a
King of Spades. Just then, the pounding of hooks in
the distance and a burst of gunfire brings them out running. Listen,
(16:37):
sounds like our boys have gone that renal Ryan, he
must have heard the shoot, and now he's left Camp
White open while he needs to wrest you Buck. Let's
get to him fast. Let's go, bob, holy neck, Hoppy,
there's about two hundred of these towns fighting. Our boys.
Godsend to Uno White, Cody, get back. We'll come here
the street, then go back to see you thought you
(16:59):
and California was garnered. I we'll talk about that later.
Let's get out of here before we're all killed, all right,
get them around to kick her distance. Let's dunt the camp.
Let's pound lever.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
The camp's still here, much as they didn't burn it
while you and the boards were busting up the town.
All right, Lord, those fields were breaking camp. What about
a guide? Happy? All we got here if you may.
If she ain't much good, we'll make the best we can. California.
We just haven't got a guide on that staff. What
Senora right here jumping camfish word you come, kom What
(17:53):
are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I finally come deserted when I rode out here, so
I waited in those shadows for your return. You see, Hoppy,
is necessary from Messa Seca to atone for this wrong
it has done to you and your men. So I
will guide you through the bad land. You see, when
I am a school girl, my father's luncho covers all
of the badlands and more beyond. He takes me on
many hunting trips to these badlands. Now this rancho is gone,
(18:18):
but I remember that Countrary.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, am, Look, I appreciate your offers and your I am.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Not so soft as you think.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Happy.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I ride as well as any man I know, and
shoot as well. See I have brought my belt and gone,
and my bedroom is tacked on my horse. I know
the nove how tongue and I can cull it is separate.
I shall guide you to furgatory mountains. I shall atone
for the dishonor.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Of my people. Boy, look, grew right up ahead there
(19:02):
three games. We've been plugging boodos here devilish country. And
she ain't targe ye, I ain't never seen such a gale.
Somehow I got the feeling she's not so sure of
herself since we got up into the barren mountains. How
how do you mean hoppy? The way she keeps looking
around as though she's trying to find landmarks that ought
to be there. But all right, I'll tell you the truth.
If we don't find that pass pretty soon, I'm gonna
(19:24):
begin to get a little worried. We're shark shoppy. She
keeps on seeing we're bound to hit it if we
just follow this road, I hope. So she pull it up.
What is it look top that rocky peak? Three four
miles that ahead? That flashing Yeah, some run on that mountain,
sitting out the vivimun So I noticed that morse code.
(19:48):
Who you're wrecking? Their shap miling guy away more behind us?
Well there's your answer, California Santas from fronting behind us
talking to each other. I learnt a little more helping
out the telegrapher at Mescalero. But turned if I can
make out what they are signaling achory in English. Whatever
it is, you're right, and it doesn't standish either. It
(20:12):
is number noble go. These engines are shore going modern.
They used to signal with smulk, but now it's with mirrors.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
There is nothing to fear. They are only number who
hunters who signal a presence to each other.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, hey, what are you doing with that little mirror?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I signal them for directions.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You always carry a mirror.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
With senor I am a woman.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Oh it is if I could forget? What are they signaling?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Back the FOSSi de fosses over there to the right.
We go up and the save here, and soon we
find a deep naro gunn.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That isn't Tell the right, boy, tell the right? Get
gone all right? Or this canyon is shore deep enough
and wide. Looks like it goes straight through to the
valley beyond. By delays alight semaster, wear it off ahead
(21:10):

up the canyon wall and get behind them. Behind them.
They're taking cover behind those rocks just below the crest,
using it as a pap with the shoot from me here,
I know all men can't move from under that rock
overhand without getting massacre. I took some dynamite from our surprise.
It's in my shirt, China money. Come on, we're gonna
(21:51):
climb around the problem and do it quick. Shore never
expected to get this spur without heatsh potty. Can you

fifty I'm seen from those boldness jamb the time. Right

You must get out of here when that goes off
and blow the whole top of that slope into the
canyon and those tugs with it. Then where you are
your copeto Jackson, Saul Cassidy, Carson, keep those hands high, Breach.
I shouldn't reach as high as you're gonna swing. Jackson,

Is the king? Huh?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He is not smart enough to be in a constant.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well, I were just better, Delorries. I didn't see him
until sup those blockhead.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I tried to write sooner, but you were here all
the time. You allowed this tubble to destroy nearly on
my name. On account of you, the other gringos have
gotten away. They would report what has happened and see
me a curse. The more gring does would come.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
How did I know yet, Dynamite, I no, No, Delorries,
don't do it, Glory. Well Jackson told me who you Cassidy?
I told him he would hang. I guess it's you're
neck to hang on us going to be interested in
But I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Tell me you were not surprised to find that I
am the King of Spades.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Not that you try to pull a fast one of
those heliograph mirror signals you not. No one in my
party could read navajo lingo. But you were wrong. I
can yet.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
You let your men into the trap.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Trap. After what happened, you call it a trap.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I see, so you planned to do what you did.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
You're getting smart delories.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Trigg Get horses what is too quick? Tide them down tight?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
We must worry. How back to you? Hop along? Cassidy.
(25:39):
So this is your high Dada de Lawrence. Looks like
it might have been an old hunting.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Lot in these wilderness, Cassidy. The accommodations are even rough.
But at least we can be sure. If peace and quiet,
no one will ever find you capties until I released
when your ransom arrives.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Ransom, eh, I asked.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Only five thousand dollars for you, passic the badland boss.
If you take a little more, I think you redeem
your valuable fight.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Just how valuable do you think it is?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Shall we say twenty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Twenty five thousand to make it.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
A real bargain? I will throw these funny looking California
for nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
No. Look here, here's something many horses coming his way
find there. We leave no train. It's all rock. No
use the lawyers. You two haven't got a chance here cover.
You know the boys over that pride. Come on, California.
(26:40):
Somebody can leave their wife. Head off, my head around
the lawyer. You've got a long ride to the next jailhouse.
You know how the same hill did you? Fellas know
where they've taken a swire?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We just followed the King of faith.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well, I remember that deck of cards I took from
Jackson Broom. They were all kings of Spain, I'm sure,
but you I just slipped them out of my pocket
as we rode along, dropping one every fifty yards or so. Lucky,
that's plays more than they fathers. I'll ride at the
bottom of the deck, and so an excitement adventure ends
(27:27):
for Hoppy in California. They'll get back to the bar
twenty just about round up time, and settle down to
a peaceful ranch life. Leave a hankering. It won't last
for very long. Somewhere there'll be trouble, and that's when
Hopey will ride out into another dangerous escapade. If you'd
like more of these two gun adventures of Hoppy's don't
forget you can see him in the fine hop Along
