THE OLD RANGER:
And now,Death Valley Days.

♪♪ [ trumpet ]

Hyah! Yah!

Yah! Yah!

Howdy, folks.
I'’m the Old Ranger,

and I have another
interesting true story for you

about the historic
Death Valley country.

Out of every thousand men
who joined the California
Gold Rush,

I'’ll bet half of them
were named John.

To distinguish between them,
they had all kinds of nicknames.

Johnny this
and Johnny that.

But there'’s only one who's
gone down in history as...

It is the last day
of August, 1853.

A wagon caravan from Indiana
has just arrived

in the mining camp
of Hangtown.

Ben, we made it.

This time tomorrow,
we'’ll be picking the gold
off the ground.

Here you are, men.
This is the place to outfit
for the diggings.

I got everything you need
at prices that can'’t be beat.

Come right on in.

This is your last chance
to relax before you head
for the diggings.

Plenty to quench your thirst
and plenty of girls
to dance with.

And if you want to try
your luck,

I'’ve got the only
honest tables in town.

This is the largest stock
in town, men.

Come on and get it. Everything
you need to be fully equipped
to dig gold.

Well, I'’ll unhitch and sell
my team while you'’re selling
your wagon.

Right.

WOMAN: Come on in.

Sale. Wagon for sale.

Step right up, folks.
I got a wagon for sale.

Anybody want to buy
my wagon?

Get your digging equipment
here, men. The largest stock
in town.

Anybody want to buy my wagon?

I got a real good wagon.

Meet me at the livery stable
soon as you get your money.

We'’ll get outfitted
for the diggings.

Look here, folks. Wagon.

That'’s it, boys,
come right on in.

For sale. Real fine wagon
for sale.

Right here, folks.

What maker?I built it myself.

You won'’t find
a better one anywhere.

Came all the way from Indiana
without a single breakdown.

MAN:
What you asking for it?

Well, I was hoping
to get $250.

[ chuckles ]
For a wagon that'’s taken
the beating this one has?

Well, I'’ll throw in the bedding
and the other equipment.

With all the folks coming in,
that kind of stuff
ain'’t worth nothing.

Well, you think 200 would--Sold.

With the bedding
and equipment.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Good-looking wagon, Sam.

I never saw a better one.

What'’d you give him for it?

With the equipment, $200.

Why, you big skinflint.
You ought to be ashamed
of yourself.

He'’s only a kid.

If he'’s old enough
to wear long pants,

he'’s old enough
to look out for himself.

Always like to see a lad
carrying a Bible.

My mother gave it to me
when I left home.

Just like my own grandmother,
rest her soul.

Oh. Um, that storekeeper
sure rooked you.

Rooked me?Why, good wagons
are at a premium here.

You should have gotten
double what he gave you.

I should?

Well, I guess that'’s what
comes of being in too much
of a hurry.

Yes. You'’ve got to keep
a sharp eye out here, sonny.

See this?

I made all this money
in less than two hours.

Just by having a sharp eye.Well, how do you mean?

Come along. I'’ll show you.Well, I'’m meeting somebody
at the stable.

Well, that'’s all right.
It'’s right on the way.

MAN:
All right, boys,
here it is.

Three-card Monte. Five'’ll get
you ten, ten'’ll get you twenty.

Twenty gets you forty. It'’s
your eyes against my hand.

Anybody can play it.
We have the king of diamonds,

the ace of spades,
and the joker.

There they are.

Why, it'’s a gambling game.

It'’s a test of eyesight. Watch.

We have the ace of spades,
the king of diamonds,
and the joker.

Your eyes against my hands.
All right. We shuffle them up.

All right. Pick a card.
Where'’s the ace
of spades, sir?

That one.

No. That'’s the joker.

The young gentleman is right.

That'’s the joker.

Well, that'’s easy.
Anybody can--

Now try it yourself this time.
Go on.

Me? Oh, no. I never touched
a card in my life.

I promised my folks
I wouldn'’t.

You don'’t have to touch
them, just point to them.

All right, here we go again.

I repeat, the ace of spades,
the king of diamonds,
and the joker.

And we shuffle the cards up.
And where are they?

Pick a card?
The king.

The king? Where is it?

That one.
For how much?

Ten dollars.

The young gentleman
bets $10.

And the young gentleman
is right.

The king of diamonds.
There'’s your $10.

And 20 from me, 2 to 1.

Now let it stay there
and play it again.

You'’ve got an eye
like a hawk, boy.

All right, here
we go again.

All right, there they are.
Three cards.

Watch me very closely.

All right, which one?

The king.
Where?

Right there.

Sorry.

Ace of spades.

I could have sworn.
Deal them again.

All right, there they are.
Now watch them.

Keep your eye on them.
And watch my hands,

because here we go.

Bet?
The ace.

Where?
There.

Wrong. Sorry.
King of diamonds.

John, where you been?
I been looking high and low
for you.

Now, get your equipment ready,
'’cause we're all ready
to leave.

You'’ll have to go
without me, Ben.

Without you?

I haven'’t got
any grubstake.

Well, how come? You sold
your wagon, didn'’t you?

Yeah, I sold it.

For 200 bucks.

And I lost it in there.

Gambling?

John, what would
your folks say?

They'’d say it serves me right.

Look, John,

well, I got some money
left over from the sale
of my team

and, well, I'’ll buy you
some of the things you need,

and with what I got,
we'’ll make out.

No thanks, Ben. I don'’t want
to impose on you

because of my own
lunkheadedness.

Well, you wouldn'’t be, John.

No, no, no. I'’ll
join you later when
I'’ve earned some money.

Go on, now. It'’s every man
for himself out here.

Devil take the hindmost.

Good luck, John.

And the devil
sure took me.

Hi, Sam. Got
my wheelbarrow ready?

Well, let'’s go see.

[ tapping ]

Got it finished, Johnny?

Good, good.

Well, I don'’t know how good.

I wouldn'’t guarantee it.What?

Well, this lumber'’s
green pitch pine.

When she dries, she'’s
gonna crack wide open.

And there'’s no strength
to it. Now look.

See what I mean?

I sure don'’t want
no wheelbarrow like that.

Wait a minute, Bill.

[ door closes ]

You nincompoop.

I gave you a job
out of the bigness
of my heart,

and this is how you repay me--
you run customers off.

You'’re fired. But the barrow was
no good, Mr.--

It was good enough
to sell.

You mean you would
knowingly cheat a man?

Get out of here!

I gave you
a $5 advance.

Don'’t you leave town
until you'’ve paid it back.

Yes, sir. No-no, sir.

"Yes, sir, no, sir."

Why didn'’t you
stand up to him?

You don'’t have to take
his guff.

I wouldn'’t want to get
in a fight, ma'’am.

Fighting'’s a sin.

Who says so?

It'’s the way
I was brought up.

All violence is wrong.

I shouldn'’t even have busted
that wheelbarrow.

That was an act of violence.

You came to the wrong place,
young man, when you came
to Hangtown.

I'’m only staying till I can get
a stake for the diggings.

You wouldn'’t need somebody
to do the chores, would you?

I mean, in exchange
for meals.

I don'’t serve meals.
Oh.

Well, thanks anyway.

Just a minute.

There'’s a blacksmith
up the street named Joe Hinds.

Tell him Goldie sent you,
said to put you to work
making wheelbarrows.

Wheelbarrows?
Wheelbarrows.

Every miner needs one.

Needs more than one,
the rate they break down.

Well, mine would stand up.
I mean, if I could get
decent material.

Tell Joe to give you
$10 a barrow.

Ten dollars?

Well, Mr. Dalrymple was only
going to give me five.

That skinflint would.

Tell Joe $10,
and if he doesn'’t like it,
to argue with me.

Ten dollars a barrow,
a barrow a day.

Why, in a couple of weeks,
I'’d be able to quit
and go out and dig for gold.

Gee, thanks, ma'’am.
May-Maybe I can do something
for you sometime.

I got another one finished,
Mr. Hinds.

Oh?

Fine job, John.

Here'’s your $10.

Thank you, sir.

This $10 will give me
almost as much as I need

to buy my outfit and join
my friends at the diggings.

Couldn'’t persuade you to stay?

No, sir.

Well, if you got your mind
set on going to diggings,

I guess the only way
to unset it is to go and dig.

Good evening, Mr. Dalrymple.What do you want?

I got a list here
of the things I want
to take to the diggings.

After I pick them out,
I'’ll come back with one of my
wheelbarrows and get them.

And pay for them?Don'’t worry,
I'’ve got the money.

[ bell clanging ]

Fire!

The whole end
of town'’s ablaze.

Blacksmith'’s shop.
My money!

[ overlapping chatter ]

Tough luck, Johnny.

Why do these things
always happen to me?

There'’s plenty of others
that lost everything.

Must be punishment
for something that I--

Oh, stop blaming yourself.
It just happened, that'’s all.

These things don'’t just happen.
We bring them on ourselves.

I'’ve been doing
something that'’s wrong.

Well, for one thing,
it was wrong to keep
the money under the floor.

You should have put it
in the bank.

The bank has a safe
that even a fire can'’t touch.

"Owe no man anything."

I'’ll never get
to the diggings.

I might as well
quit trying.

I'’ll stake you, Johnny.

Fire didn'’t even touch
my place.

I'’ve got plenty of money
in the bank.

Come on, how much you need?
A hundred? Two hundred?
Three hundred?

I'’d be ashamed to borrow
from a woman.

Then I'’ll give you the money.

Thanks. But I can still
build wheelbarrows.

Yes, sir?

I'’d like to open an account.

Well, come on in.

The bank is always glad
to welcome a new depositor.

Just, uh, sign your name
right here.

Your money couldn'’t be
in a safer place.

No danger of moths?

Moths?

Well, you know what the Bible
says about treasure laid up
on earth,

where moths and rust doth
corrupt and thieves break in?

[ chuckles ]

You don'’t have to worry
about any of those things,
my friend.

Not with this bank.

There you are, $35.

Thank you.

Guess I don'’t have to worry
about fires now.

Ben!

Johnny! Johnny,
where you been?

We'’ve been expecting you
to turn up at the diggings
every day.

Well, I was all ready,
but the big fire
cleaned me out.

Sorry, John.

Is that gold?

Heft it.

You dug all this?

Me and a couple other fellows.
I brung it down to the bank
for safekeeping.

You know how much I took
out in one day?

More than $700.

Seven hundred dollars?Yes, sir.

I'’ll see you later, Ben.

John, what'’s the hurry?

I gotta go back to the shop
and make some more wheelbarrows

so I can go to the diggings.

Hello, Miss Goldie.

So, Wheelbarrow Johnny'’s going
to the diggings at last.

I would have gone before this
if I hadn'’t had so many orders
to fill,

and I didn'’t want
to disappoint folks.

Say, when'’s Joe coming
back from Sacramento?

He'’s due in this afternoon.

You bought your outfit yet?

Nope. I'’m going over
to the bank now,
and then to the store.

Know how much money I got
in the bank, Miss Goldie?

Three thousand dollars.

You'’re not carrying that
with you to the diggings?

Nope. I'’m just drawing out
what I need.

Well, don'’t you leave
without saying good-bye.

I won'’t.

Open up!

Sorry, the bank'’s closed.

But it'’s only 2:00.

We'’re closing early today.

Monthly audit.

Look here, I'’ve got
to draw out some money.

I'’m leaving town
in the morning,
going to the diggings.

I gotta get my supplies.

Sorry. You'’ll have to wait
till tomorrow.

That pigheaded young Dutchman.

All right, get along
with your work.

Everything out of the safe
and packed up

so we can move it
out of here after dark.

Hello, Joe.

Johnny, good to see you.

I was afraid
you'’d left already.

I'’m on my way tomorrow.

I'’m supposed to pick up
my outfit this afternoon,
but the bank'’s closed.

Closed?
An hour early.

Monthly audit,
the bank man said.

Seems like more things
can happen to hold me up.

Monthly audit?

I don'’t like it, Johnny.

You don'’t think anything's
wrong, do you?

Gee, I got $3,000
in that bank.

I got 20,000, and I
don'’t intend to lose it.

Lose it?I heard a rumor in Sacramento.

Come on over to the shop
where we can talk.

You mean a big bank
like McAdams is in trouble?

Some branches aren'’t
as strong as Hangtown.

I know how
these fellows operate.

Get in a jam in one place,
can'’t meet their obligations,

they have money
from another branch
to take care of it.

Rob from Peter
to pay Paul.

They'’d rob us?

They wouldn'’t call it that.

Somehow, they'’ve always been
able to make it good.

I don'’t like
the sound of this.

What do you think
we can do?

They wouldn'’t dare
take it out in daylight.

If they'’re gonna do it at all,

they'’d do it at night.

We can watch from here.

Come on.

Stars are fading.

Be morning before long.

Yeah.If they was gonna be here,

they would have
been here by now.

Looks like we wasted
a night'’s sleep for nothing.

At least our money'’s safe.
First thing in the morning,

I can go and draw out what I-- [ door opens ]

I was right. They are
taking it out of the bank.

They'’re putting it
in the store.

That Sam Dalrymple.
Pretty smart.

That way, they can freight it
out in boxes and barrels
in broad daylight,

and nobody'’d be the wiser.

You keep watch.
I'’ll go get the sheriff.

Yeah, go on.

Sheriff?

Sheriff!

Sheriff must be out of town.
They might take it out
before he gets back.

What do we do?Act on our own.

Have we got the right?It'’s our money, ain't it?

What I mean is--
Come on.

[ pounding on door ]

JOE:
Open up!

[ pounding continues ][ whispers ]

What'’s the idea of breaking
into my store?

So, this is what you call
an audit, huh?

Sneaking this out of town
to some other branch, eh?

What business is it
of yours?

Twenty thousand dollars
of that happens to be mine.

And three thousand is mine.

Very well, gentlemen.
I'’ll give it to you.

And the rest you'’ll put
back in the bank.

"Put back"?

That money belongs to folks
who trust you.

It'’s every cent some of them
have got.

What you'’re doing is just like
stealing it from them.

All I'’m doing is carrying out
orders from the head office.

Not this time.

See here, Hinds.

You'’ve got no right
to tell him what to do.

Haven'’t I?
No, you haven'’t.

Then I'’ll let
the town folks tell you.

After I tell them
what'’s going on here.

Stop him!

[ grunting ]

All right. Now, everybody
grab an armload.

It'’s getting daylight.

Somebody'’ll see us if we go
traipsing over to the bank
with it now.

Yeah. All right.
You go back to the bank

and get ready to open up
as usual.

Joe and I'’ll
take care of this.

Looks like you got yourself
a little load there, Johnny.

Sure have.
What is it?

Load of gold for the bank.

Gold.
[ laughing ]

Johnny. Joe tells me you'’re
pretty good with your fists.

I'’m proud of you.

I'’m kind of proud
of myself.

Fighting makes you feel good
when it'’s for a good cause.

Well, I got mine out.

One hundred cents
on the dollar.

Folks in Hangtown owe you
a debt of thanks.

I like Hangtown.

Now I'’m leaving it.

Letter for you, Johnny.

It'’s from one of my brothers.

It'’s a good thing it
caught up with you

before you left
for the diggings.

I won'’t be going
to the diggings.

Not going?

Not now or ever.

Johnny.

We can use my money
to better advantage back home.

So I'’m going back to Indiana.
South Bend.

What'’ll you do
when you get there?
Make wheelbarrows?

No, ma'’am.
I'’ll build wagons.

And build wagons he did.

And from wagons, went on
to automobiles.

That money he'’d earned
and saved in Hangtown

was the initial capital
for a company that became
world famous.

For Wheelbarrow Johnny'’s name

was Studebaker.
