♪ [ dramatic ]

Howdy, folks.
I'’m the Old Ranger,

with an exciting new story
of real life in the Old West.

In the mother-lode country back
in the gold rush days,

very few small towns were lucky
enough to have a doctor.

In emergencies, anyone who could
substitute was in demand,

like the young druggist in
the mining camp of Gold Run,

who found himself
face-to-face with...

Professor Peacock.

Professor Peacock.
I'’ve got to talk to you.

Please, Professor,
open the door.

Can I help you?

It'’s my little boy, I-- MAN: Yes, yes.

What is it, madam?
Why do you awaken me
at this hour?

It'’s my little boy.
I gave him some of
your medicine for his cold.

And now he'’s worse.Worse?

Are you insinuating
my product is injurious
to the human system?

WOMAN:
He wasn'’t like
this before.

The beneficial qualities
of Professor Peacock'’s
Miracle Compound

are a matter of record.
However, I will not quibble.

If you are not satisfied,
I will gladly return
your money.

Now, goodnight, madam.

I-I didn'’t want
my money back.

I-I just wanted him
to help my little boy.

Well, if I were you,
I'’d get him to a doctor.

The doctor'’s away in Auburn.

Well, isn'’t there anyone
in town who can help
in an emergency?

Oh, we usually go
to Mr. Gates, the druggist.

Well, come on.
Let'’s go get him.

[ knocking ]

WOMAN:
Mr. Gates.

Open up, Mr. Gates.
It'’s an emergency.

Yes? Mrs. Baker.

Well, what'’s
the matter with Timmy?

I don'’t know,
I'’m-I'm afraid he'’s dying.

Let me take him.

How long has he
been this way?

Well, ever since
I gave him this medicine.

"Professor Peacock'’s
Miracle Compound."

Did you give him all this?

Took that much to make him
stop coughing.

A lot of alcohol in it.
But it shouldn'’t have
that effect on him.

Well, maybe the medicine
didn'’t have anything
to do with it.

I'’m Maggie Evans.
I work with Professor Peacock.

Well, that explains
why you'’d say that.

Well, it could be true,
couldn'’t it?

It could be,
but hardly probable.

You happen to know
what'’s in here?

No, the professor keeps that

a pretty carefully
guarded secret.

Those fellas usually do.

Mrs. Baker, give him a whiff of
this ammonia every few minutes.

I'’ll try to analyze
this stuff

and see if I can come up
with an antidote.

Is that the
alcohol burning?

Yes.

I'’ll evaporate the rest,
and test the residue.

There'’s some brown stuff left.

When I add this,
it should turn blood-red.

It is blood-red.

some bichloride of mercury.

[ sighs ]

Just as I suspected.

What?

Opium.

Well, good morning,
Samson.
Morning.

Are you awake, Princess?
Time to get up.

Princess?
She'’s not there.

Well, how do you know?

I left her at Mrs. Baker'’s,

helping them care
for the little boy

your Miracle Compound
almost killed last night.

What is this nonsense?
Who are you?

JUSTIN:
My name is Justin Gates.
I own the Gold Run Pharmacy.

Oh, I see.
[ chuckles ]

Beginning to feel the pinch
of competition, huh,

and trying to start
a little trouble?

Well, don'’t worry,
young man.

We'’ll be moving on
in a few days.

You'’re moving
along today.

I can'’t control what you do
in other places,

but you'’re not selling any more
of that poison in this town.

Poison?

Opium.

I assume you know
there'’s not enough opium

in my product to do any harm.

There was enough to put
little Jimmy Baker

into a stupor
that lasted all night.

If his mother had
given him anymore of it,
he never would'’ve come to.

But he'’s all right
this morning?

No thanks to you.

Now get your outfit
and get out of here.

I resent your attitude, sir.

We don'’t threaten anyone,
and we don'’t want anyone
threatening us.

Do we, Samson?

Well now, I can'’t go around
arresting people for something
that might have happened.

Opium is dangerous!
It'’s a narcotic!

Doesn'’t matter
if it is or it ain'’t.

There ain'’t no law
on the statute books

that says what you can
and can'’t put in medicine.

Now, if I was you,
I wouldn'’t tangle
with him again.

Morning.Morning, Sheriff.

How'’s Jimmy?

All children are amazing.

The way he was running around
when I left his house,

you'’d never think that
there had been anything
wrong with him.

What happened to you?

I told the professor
to get out of town.

Neither he nor Samson
cared for the idea.

Well, personally I don'’t care
what the professor does.

I'’m quitting, and I'm going over
right now to tell him so.

JUSTIN:
No, don'’t quit.Don'’t quit?

Not yet.

You'’re the professor's
star attraction.

I want a big crowd
at today'’s show.

♪ [ waltz ]

[ crowd rooting ]

[ crowd applauds ]

PEACOCK:
Thank you,
Princess Nadja.

Our show will continue
in just a moment.

Ladies and gentlemen, right now
I want to pause and explain

how you too can obtain
the radiant vitality

and the physical perfection
of these two young people.

Here is your answer,
ladies and gentlemen.

Dr. Peacock'’s
Miracle Compound!

I am asking $1.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
one paltry dollar

for this key to a richer
and fuller life.

MAN:
I'’ll take a bottle.

Well, thank you, sir.
And here you are.

JUSTIN:
Just a minute!

Before you buy any of this
so-called "medicine,"

there'’s something
you ought to know.

Oh, now, now.
One moment, Samson.

In this glorious
country of ours,

every man has a right
to be heard, whether you
agree with him or not.

Proceed, sir.I intend to!

Folks, last night, little
Jimmy Baker almost died

from an overdose
of this compound.

He would have died
if I hadn'’t analyzed
the ingredients

and given him
emergency treatment.

Do you know what this
concoction contains?

A drug as dangerous
and deadly as any poison.

It'’s opium!

[ crowd chattering ]

If that'’s the kind of richer
and fuller life you want,

why, go ahead.

Otherwise, you'’ll run
this faker out of town.

[ crowd clamoring ]

Ladies and gentlemen,
one moment please.

The young man
speaks impressively,

but I assure you, friends,
my Miracle Compound

contains such a minute
quantity of the
ingredient mentioned,

it is absolutely harmless
to both man and beast.

It wasn'’t harmless
to Jimmy Baker.

I was coming to that, sir.

What was the matter
with the little boy,

that he required
your emergency treatment?

You know what was wrong
with him. He was in a coma.

In other words,
a deep sleep.

That'’s right.

Are you aware, sir,
that sleep is one of
nature'’s great healers?

Not the kind he was in.

And how is the
little boy this morning?

Fortunately,
he'’s all right.

Only all right?

I understood his cold
was almost cured.

Well, you can'’t take
credit for that.

Well now, suppose we
allow these good people
to decide.

My friends, yesterday,

little Jimmy Baker
had a bad cold,

Today, thanks to the
sleep inducing qualities
of my Miracle Compound,

and in spite of the
interference of this--

this purveyor
of powders and pills,

he is almost
completely recovered.

Now I ask you,
ladies and gentlemen,

who deserves the credit?

[ crowd chattering ]MAN:
You do, professor.

MAN #2:
He'’s got you there, Justin.

I see others of you
down there who,

yesterday, bought a bottle
of my, uh, so-called "poison."

Tell me, friends,
did any of you happen
to die last night?

[ crowd laughing ]

If he wasn'’t good with words,
he wouldn'’t be in
this kind of business.

I tell you,
you'’ve got to listen to me.

This man--
I believe we'’ve
listened to you long
enough, young man.

I sell an honest product.

And with the kind permission
of these good people,

I will continue to sell it.

Now, if you'’ll kindly leave
the platform, we will
continue with the show.

[ crowd muttering ]MAN: Come on, Justin.
Let'’s get on with the show.

I'’m staying right here
until I make you folks
understand.

Oh, no, no, Samson.

Sheriff, this man is
trespassing upon my property.

Will you remove
him, please?

You better get off of there,
Justin. Come on down.

Instead of running me off,
why don'’t you run him off?

Well, now we went through
all of that this morning.

You'’ve got no business
up there if he don'’t want you.
Come on down.

[ crowd muttering ]

And now, we will proceed
with our entertainment.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have here in my hand, $500.

Which I will gladly present
to the first man

who can best Samson
in a one fall wrastling match.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
you heard me correctly.

Five-hundred dollars
to the first man

who can pin Samson'’s mighty
shoulders to the ground.

Now, who wants to try?

This may be your golden
opportunity to win $500.

Well now, what about you, sir?

Uh, and you, sir?

Now, what do you say?

Well, you look like a likely
challenger, if I ever saw one.

What are you going to say?

MAN: Give it a try, Jed.

Go ahead, give it a try.

Well, I'’ll make
a try at it.

Oh, splendid.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Samson not only trains
on my Miracle Compound,

but he also takes a drink
of it before every bout.

For the instantaneous
vigor and strength
that it imparts.

Well, here you are,
Samson.

Now, don'’t forget,
take a good, big drink.

[ crowd muttering ]

Now, step up, kid.

Gentlemen, don'’t forget.
No biting, no gouging.

Other than that,
no holds barred.

Ready? Go!

[ crowd rooting ]

Now you got him, Jed.
Go on, pin him. Pin him!

[ crowd rooting ]
MAN:
Come on!

[ crowd yelling ]

Ah! Ah!

What'’s the matter, Jed?
Come on, Jed. You can
do better than that.

Ah!

[ crowd rooting ]

[ crowd applauds ]

Ladies and gentlemen,

the winner--
the mighty Samson!

[ crowd cheering ]

Thank you. My, that was
a splendid effort.

Now, if you and the other
good people will return
with me to the platform,

I will see to it
that your valiant efforts
are properly rewarded.

[ crowd muttering ]

[ chuckles ]
Jed never had a chance.

Samson was just
playing with him.

Say, if the
professor'’s medicine
puts people to sleep,

how come Samson
can drink it and show
no ill effects?

I'’ve been thinking
about that myself.

Maybe I can give you an
answer at his next show.

Hello.
Well, hello.

You got anything
to cure a headache?

Well, at least I'’ll have
one convert anyway.

I'’m sorry you couldn't get
the people to listen.

I should have
known better.

My father used to say

that telling somebody
something for his own good

is like pouring sand
down a rat hole.

[ chuckles ]

Here. Guaranteed to cure
your headache and not
a darn thing more.

Thank you.

You mind if I
ask you a question?

No.

How did you happen
to become Princess Nadja?

Well, the name was
the professor'’s idea.

Eating regularly was mine.

Until I found out
about the professor,

I-I thought it was
better than working
in a dance hall or a saloon.

Have you quit yet?

No. The professor went
with some friends to have
a drink right after the show.

I didn'’t get a chance
to talk to him.

What time is
the next show?About an hour.

I'’d appreciate you
staying for it.

Oh, Justin, you'’re not
going to try to talk
to that crowd again.

No, no.

It'’s going to take
more than talk to make
them realize the danger.

Ladies and gentlemen,

once again I have
in my hands, $500.

Which I will gladly
pay to any man

who can defeat
the mighty Samson in
a one fall wrastling match.

Speak up, gentlemen.
Who will it be?

A chance to win $500
in good American money.

Who will wrastle Samson?
Who can defeat the mighty
Samson?

I will.

[ crowd muttering ]Have you gone loco?

He'’ll bust you to bits.

Well, if it isn'’t
the young druggist.

I must confess,
I'’m a little disappointed.

I was hoping it'’ll be
someone who'’ll give
Samson a real workout.

But I said, anyone.
And I'’m a man
that keeps his word.

If you will direct
your attention over

to the wrastling arena,
ladies and gentlemen.

Just a minute.

Professor, let'’s make
this really interesting.

My drug store against
your whole outfit.

[ crowd groaning ]Your store against my outfit?

That'’s right.Justin, for Pete'’s sakes!

Well?

I accept your wager, sir.

Sheriff, you heard the terms.

Back out, while you can.

Oh, I'’m sorry.
It'’s a little late
to back out now.

Ladies and gentlemen,
if you please.

[ crowd muttering ]

Ladies and gentlemen,

as usual, Samson will
take a drink of my

Miracle Compound
before the bout.

Here you are, Samson.Not that bottle, professor.

Suppose you let Samson
drink some of the stuff
you sell.

Wha-- Are you accusing
me of trickery, sir?

I am.Well, upon my word.

Princess Nadja,
if you'’d please.

Is that all you'’re
going to drink?

Why, he doesn'’t even
need that much
to win this bout.

[ laughter ]

I want him to
have every advantage.

Drink plenty.

No, more than that.
Drink the whole bottle.

[ gulping ][ coughs ]

What'’s it going
to do to me?

Why, it'’s going to
put you to sleep like
you'’ve never slept before.

You better finish
him off fast.

He'’s stalling until that
medicine takes effect
and you get sleepy.

Come on, now.
Hurry it up!

How do you feel?
Are you getting sleepy?

Not yet.

You'’re keeping
these good people waiting.

[ crowd muttering ]

No gouging,
no biting!

Other than that,
no holds barred. Go!

Look out, Justin!

[ crowd rooting ]

Go on. Go on, Samson.

[ crowd cheering ]Hurry up, Samson.

Don'’t let him get away.

[ crowd cheering ]

That'’s it, Samson.

Come on, Samson.

Now you got him, boy.
That'’s it. Pin him down.

Now pin him down, Samson.
You got it.

Go ahead, Samson.

SHERIFF:
Get him up there.
Come on, Justin.

Come on, Justin!

[ crowd rooting ]

[ crowd cheering ]

[ crowd congratulating ]

MAN:
Yahoo-hoo-hoo!

[ shatters ]

[ shattering ]

Well, that'’s the end
of Professor Peacock'’s
Miracle Compound.

[ shattering ]

Well, now that you own
the outfit, Justin,

what are you going to do
with it?

I'’m going to put in
a stock of legitimate drugs
and medicines

and cover the towns where
they don'’t have drug stores.

Well, what about
your shop in town?

Oh, I thought I'’d get a
friend to look after it,

while I'’m on my trips.

Oh.[ sigh ]

You'’re the friend
I had in mind.

And so Justin Gates
established a route which took

him through most
of the mining camps
and towns of the area,

bringing to the sick and weary
reliable drugs

that were literally worth
their weight in gold.
