00:01:30Anybody hurt?
00:01:40No, I guess not.
00:02:01Excuse me, but I gotta come in here.
00:02:03Well, what's the trouble?
00:02:04It's all right, Kemp. There's not much damage.
00:02:06Looks like an accident.
00:02:07Well, I have to make a report. That's my duty, you know.
00:02:09Oh, uh, Doc, hold this, will you please?
00:02:14Well, boys, looks like you're in a little jam here, huh?
00:02:17Well, I'm sorry, but I have to make a report, you know.
00:02:20Oh, let me have that pencil, will you?
00:02:23Oh, you got a little piece of paper, anything to write on?
00:02:26Any old things?
00:02:27Sure.
00:02:30Oh, you're from Chicago, huh?
00:02:32Hey, Steve, they're all here but one.
00:02:34The boss will make me pay for that.
00:02:36I think we can settle this without any difficulty.
00:02:38Boy, look at that head of lettuce.
00:02:41What about these broken crates? They gotta be fixed.
00:02:43Well, here's ten dollars. You think that'll be enough?
00:02:45Ten bucks? Well, I should say.
00:02:47Yes, sir. It's all right with me, boss.
00:02:49Ten dollars?
00:02:51For one chicken?
00:02:53Well, looks like I don't have to make a report.
00:02:56Hey.
00:02:57Thanks very much, Captain.
00:02:58Captain?
00:02:59Oh, that's all right, son.
00:03:02Thanks, Doc.
00:03:04I guess the sun got to it.
00:03:06Well, I like the star show better anyway.
00:03:17Hey, Tom!
00:03:19Hi, Floyd Davis.
00:03:21What are you doing around here?
00:03:22Oh, just passing through.
00:03:23Meet Dr. Christian. Tom Stewart.
00:03:25We went to college together, Doc.
00:03:26How do you do, Doctor?
00:03:27How do you do?
00:03:28Say, Tom, I haven't seen you in years.
00:03:32That's right.
00:03:33Well, I guess you don't need a doctor around here.
00:03:35Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor. I'll try to do better next time.
00:03:37Please don't.
00:03:39Well, pal, they certainly gave that cinder a sweet kiss.
00:03:42Yes, by the sound of it, I thought I'd ripped it off.
00:03:44I got a brother charlie with a garage right down the street.
00:03:46He'll fix it up for you like that.
00:03:47Well, thanks. I think I better wait till I get to Center City.
00:03:49Center City?
00:03:51What's your hurry? Why don't you stay a while?
00:03:53Pay us a little visit.
00:03:54Oh, business. I had an appointment.
00:03:56I'm late now.
00:03:57Well, that's fine. You can call him and tell him you'll be a couple of days late.
00:03:59A couple of days? I couldn't.
00:04:01Why not? Take a little rest, Tom. It'll do you good.
00:04:06Maybe you're right at that.
00:04:07Attaboy.
00:04:08Fine, fine. I'll drive this heap right down to my brother Charlie's garage.
00:04:11I think I better check into the hotel first.
00:04:13The hotel? Great. I'll drop your bags off there.
00:04:15Boy, you're going to love that little hotel. Oh, yes.
00:04:17My aunt Tilly owns it.
00:04:19That's that. Come on over to my store.
00:04:21Oh, do you think you can run this outfit?
00:04:23What, this thing here? Why not?
00:04:25My sister's husband. That's my brother-in-law, you know.
00:04:27He owns the agency for these things in Center City.
00:04:30All right, Major.
00:04:31Major? Thanks, pal. Thanks for the promotion.
00:04:34Good guy.
00:04:41Oh, it's one of those newfangled gear shifts.
00:04:46Hey. Hey, bud.
00:04:48Keep moving, will you? I want to back out of here.
00:04:56Is that the same medicine, Dr. Christian?
00:04:59Yes.
00:05:00Vitamin B1 is very good for the nerves.
00:05:04But you should know, this is your third bottle.
00:05:09I hope you're taking it regularly.
00:05:11Well, I...
00:05:12I'm giving it to the Petunias.
00:05:14Petunias?
00:05:16Not all of it. Most of it, doctor.
00:05:18She was taking the medicine one day in the garden,
00:05:20and some of it spilled on the flowers.
00:05:22And those Petunias grew bigger than any of the others.
00:05:25Oh, it's...
00:05:27Vitamin B1 is very good for flowers, too.
00:05:52Oh!
00:05:57Keep away from that cake!
00:05:59Oh, no!
00:06:03I'll wring your neck!
00:06:05It was...
00:06:06Oh!
00:06:10Nice cheek.
00:06:12Nice cheek.
00:06:17Come on.
00:06:23Kick, kick, kick!
00:06:31You beast!
00:06:34But you'd better take a little more of the medicine yourself.
00:06:37Quiet!
00:06:38Quiet, you monster!
00:06:41But this recipe just might have been the prize winner.
00:06:44We're going in the flower exhibit.
00:06:46Without Petunias.
00:06:47Petunias.
00:06:48Well, what do I do with this?
00:06:50Well, it looks like it might make a very tasty meal.
00:06:53After ruining my cake, I wouldn't cook them.
00:06:55Oh, of course.
00:06:58Here.
00:06:59You take it.
00:07:00I couldn't.
00:07:01You cook it, and I'll come over and help you eat it.
00:07:04Oh, in that case,
00:07:06we'll make fried chicken for lunch today.
00:07:10Fried chicken?
00:07:12I'll be there.
00:07:13Oh, thank you for the prescription, doctor.
00:07:15And the chicken!
00:07:20Oh!
00:07:25You won't need me for a couple of hours, Dr. Christian.
00:07:28Will you?
00:07:29Won't I?
00:07:31Well, you've taken care of all the patients, and I didn't think...
00:07:34Go ahead, Judy.
00:07:35Roy's probably tearing his hair out waiting for you.
00:07:39You know Roy better than that.
00:07:42We're just going for a ride in the country.
00:07:45That dress looks awfully thin.
00:07:47Do you like it?
00:07:48Very pretty.
00:07:49Well, that's all that matters.
00:07:51And if I do catch cold, maybe you can recommend a good doctor.
00:07:59Signal.
00:08:0032, 96, 87.
00:08:11Oh, this mineral oil's running good.
00:08:13It's a first for us.
00:08:20Something I can do for you, Mrs. Gaddle?
00:08:22Yes, Roy.
00:08:23A bar of chocolate.
00:08:25I'd better run along.
00:08:26No, no, Tom, don't go away.
00:08:28Uh, this chocolate, Mrs. Gaddle?
00:08:30No, a five-cent bar.
00:08:36Uh, when you left college, you were going into the bond business.
00:08:38Oh, I tried it for a while, but I quit.
00:08:40I build hotels for a living now.
00:08:41Hotels?
00:08:42Yes.
00:08:43Anything else, Mrs. Gaddle?
00:08:44Let me think now.
00:08:46Oh.
00:08:48Well, that ought to be an interesting business, Tom.
00:08:50Keeps me on the move.
00:08:51I was on my way to Center City.
00:08:52They say there's a pretty good building site there.
00:08:54Say, we've got everything that town's got and more.
00:08:57Why don't you build it in Rivers End?
00:08:59Might not be a bad idea.
00:09:01Have you made up your mind, Mrs. Gaddle?
00:09:03Oh, could I borrow some wrapping paper?
00:09:06Certainly.
00:09:09Will that be enough?
00:09:10Just a little more.
00:09:12Fine.
00:09:17Anything else?
00:09:18I can't think of a thing.
00:09:19That'll be 13 cents.
00:09:21Oh, dear, I've only got nine.
00:09:23Put the rest on my bill, Roy.
00:09:25Okay.
00:09:30You sure made a lot on that deal.
00:09:33No kidding, Tom.
00:09:34This would be an ideal place for a hotel.
00:09:36I'd like to take a look around.
00:09:38Ready to go, Roy?
00:09:39Oh, hello, Judy.
00:09:40This is Miss Judy Price, Tom Stewart.
00:09:42How do you do?
00:09:43I'm very happy to see you.
00:09:44Tom is visiting us for a while.
00:09:45How nice.
00:09:46I thought we could take him with us this afternoon
00:09:48and show him some of the country around here.
00:09:50Yes, certainly.
00:09:51Oh, please.
00:09:52I don't want to interfere with any of your plans.
00:09:54Oh, no, not at all, Tom.
00:09:55We were just going driving.
00:09:56Judy won't mind, will you?
00:09:57Of course not.
00:10:00But watch the front.
00:10:01I'll be gone for a little while.
00:10:03All right, Roy.
00:10:09Gosh, I forgot.
00:10:10I haven't got any change.
00:10:12Gosh, I forgot.
00:10:13I haven't got my car.
00:10:14Mine's in the garage.
00:10:15Well, I guess we can use mine.
00:10:17Well, that's fine, Judy.
00:10:18That's wonderful.
00:10:19Yes, marvelous.
00:10:21Just dandy.
00:10:24Well, Dr. Christian will be here any minute.
00:10:27Does she, Miss Shane?
00:10:29She's such a cute little thing, isn't she?
00:10:32But you invited the doctor.
00:10:34Oh, dear.
00:10:35I wonder if Dr. Christian would chloroform her.
00:10:39She's a he.
00:10:40Are you sure?
00:10:41I heard her crow.
00:10:45I wonder if he knows.
00:10:47Oh, fiddlesticks.
00:10:48Give me that.
00:10:56Doesn't seem like a very fat chicken.
00:10:59No, very thin.
00:11:01Probably all bones.
00:11:03We couldn't give Dr. Christian bones for lunch.
00:11:06That would be terrible.
00:11:08Hello, girls.
00:11:10Good morning.
00:11:12Aren't you a little early, Dr. Christian?
00:11:14Yeah, about our lunch appointment.
00:11:17I don't think I'll be able to stay.
00:11:19Oh, can't you?
00:11:21I have to see a patient.
00:11:23Oh, we're so sorry.
00:11:25I'll tell you what.
00:11:27You fatten up that chicken and we'll make it another time.
00:11:31That'll be fine.
00:11:33Goodbye.
00:11:34Goodbye.
00:11:35Goodbye.
00:11:36Goodbye.
00:11:40Let's call him Oscar.
00:11:42Let's.
00:11:58Good morning, Mr. Browning.
00:12:00Good morning, Mrs. Gaddle.
00:12:02Anything I can do for you this morning?
00:12:04Nice apple.
00:12:0520 cents a pound.
00:12:08And strawberries.
00:12:1015 cents a box, two for a quarter.
00:12:12I just got them in fresh this morning.
00:12:14Lovely.
00:12:15I just love strawberries.
00:12:17So I noticed.
00:12:20Why don't you try the watermelon?
00:12:23Thank you, Mr. Browning.
00:12:29Delicious.
00:12:32No, I really don't think I need a thing this morning.
00:12:36Parsley.
00:12:38Have you any parsley, Mr. Browning?
00:12:47There's no charge for parsley.
00:12:49I know that, Mr. Browning.
00:12:51Or string.
00:12:52Could I borrow some string, Mr. Browning?
00:12:56By the way,
00:12:58you know that young man that had the accident this morning?
00:13:01He's going to build a hotel here.
00:13:03We've got a hotel.
00:13:05Oh, this is going to be a resort.
00:13:07A million dollar thing.
00:13:09I heard him telling Roy in his store.
00:13:14Thank you, Mr. Browning.
00:13:16He's looking for property.
00:13:21Oh, Mrs. Gaddle.
00:13:24You said he wanted to buy some property?
00:13:26Definitely.
00:13:27Well, I have property.
00:13:28Well, lots and lots of it.
00:13:30You mean that ten acres out by the city dump?
00:13:35Look, Mrs. Gaddle.
00:13:36You haven't told anybody about this, have you?
00:13:38Just between us two.
00:13:40Good.
00:13:41Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:42I got something for you.
00:13:46Mrs. Gaddle.
00:13:47Have you told George our little secret?
00:13:49You know, about the new hotel?
00:13:51Two pounds of sugar, George.
00:13:53A quart of milk.
00:13:55A quart of milk?
00:14:00How much are the pizzas?
00:14:02No!
00:14:24Judy, I wouldn't say anything about the hotel or anything.
00:14:27You know how things get around.
00:14:28Don't worry about that.
00:14:30In fact, I've had very little to say all afternoon.
00:14:32How do you do?
00:14:33Lovely?
00:14:34You're quite welcome.
00:14:35Swell guy, isn't he?
00:14:37Wonderful.
00:14:39Well, what's the matter, Judy?
00:14:40Nothing.
00:14:41Nothing at all.
00:14:42I've had a simply marvelous afternoon.
00:15:01Hey, Stuart here.
00:15:02Where are you, Stuart?
00:15:05Oh, hello, George.
00:15:08So I chilled, huh?
00:15:09Yeah, and am I surprised.
00:15:11What are you doing here?
00:15:13Oh, I'm just moseying around.
00:15:15I've got a little date here with Mr. Stuart.
00:15:18Stuart?
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:20What about him?
00:15:21He's got a date.
00:15:22He's got a date?
00:15:23He's got a date.
00:15:24He's got a date.
00:15:25He's got a date.
00:15:26He's got a date.
00:15:27He's got a date.
00:15:28He's got a date.
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:30What do you want to see Stuart for?
00:15:31Why, Miss Gatto told me all about it.
00:15:33Am I glad I met that girl.
00:15:34Yes, sir.
00:15:35You know, if I hadn't have met her,
00:15:36I wouldn't have been able to sell my Aunt Tilly's property.
00:15:39Sell your Aunt Tilly's property to Stuart?
00:15:41Oh, no, you're not.
00:15:42I'm going to sell him this property.
00:15:43Oh, is that so?
00:15:44Well, we'll see.
00:15:45We'll see.
00:15:46Yeah, we'll see.
00:15:48What do you think he's going to do?
00:15:49Spend a million dollars on that dump heap of your Aunt Tilly's
00:15:52to put a hotel?
00:15:53Dump heap of my Aunt Tilly's?
00:15:55Is that so?
00:15:56What do you think you've got here?
00:15:57A pond?
00:15:58Is this a sunken garden?
00:16:01Well, you can't sell it to him.
00:16:02Who said I can't?
00:16:03I said you can't.
00:16:04I won't let you sell it.
00:16:05You won't?
00:16:06No, I won't let you sell it.
00:16:07You had that property in your family for 200 years.
00:16:11Yes, sir.
00:16:12212 years.
00:16:13212 years.
00:16:14Just think of it.
00:16:15The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War.
00:16:19They fought and they fled for it.
00:16:21They came out here in covered wagons.
00:16:23They got down on their hands and they broke rock
00:16:25and they pulled out brush.
00:16:26And they fought the Indians.
00:16:27Yes, sir.
00:16:28And they fought the Indians.
00:16:29For what?
00:16:30For what?
00:16:31So that you and your Aunt Tilly
00:16:34could have that gorgeous, beautiful place up there.
00:16:39George, you got me.
00:16:43And you won't say anything to Stuart about it?
00:16:46George, I give you my word.
00:16:49I won't sell my Aunt Tilly's property to anybody.
00:16:52Good.
00:16:55But if you sell your property, I want 10%.
00:17:01Why, you dirty double-crossing...
00:17:03Now, now, now.
00:17:04Now, wait a minute, George.
00:17:05Wait a minute now.
00:17:06Wait a minute.
00:17:07You better make up your mind.
00:17:08Here he comes now.
00:17:09What do you say?
00:17:10Here he comes now.
00:17:12All right, Mr. Stuart.
00:17:13Hey, wait a minute.
00:17:14Wait a minute.
00:17:15Wait a minute.
00:17:167 1⁄2.
00:17:1710.
00:17:18Mr. Stuart.
00:17:1910.
00:17:20OK.
00:17:25Well, hello, Mr. Stuart.
00:17:27Good morning.
00:17:28Well, I guess you had the first appointment, George.
00:17:30Yeah, wait a minute.
00:17:31What about me?
00:17:32Huh?
00:17:33Oh, that's right.
00:17:34Yes, he did have the first appointment.
00:17:35Right this way, Mr. Stuart.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:38Oh, Roy.
00:17:39Yes, sir, Mr. Stuart.
00:17:41Trees.
00:17:42Beautiful trees.
00:17:43Thousands of them.
00:17:44You can grow anything on this land.
00:17:46Plenty of rain.
00:17:47You said it.
00:17:48Last winter, we were almost swamped.
00:17:50I mean, over the hill.
00:17:52By Aunt Tilly's property.
00:17:53Oh, you mean it's marshy over there.
00:17:55Well, not exactly marshy, but it is a little bit misty.
00:17:57Yeah, but not here.
00:17:58This property's suitable for anything.
00:18:00Sun all day, cool nights.
00:18:02A veritable paradise.
00:18:04Just what I've been looking for.
00:18:05How much do you want for it?
00:18:06What?
00:18:07How much do you want for it?
00:18:08Oh.
00:18:09Well, I'd pay $50 an acre for it,
00:18:12or I think I'm entitled to a little profit.
00:18:14That's fair enough.
00:18:15We'll take 40.
00:18:16That's a deal.
00:18:23It's lovely, isn't it?
00:18:25A place like that will put River's End on the map.
00:18:28My brother Joe has the contracts for all the hardware.
00:18:31They're spreading the building business all over town.
00:18:35Bud?
00:18:39Oh, hello, Judy.
00:18:41Never mind, Bud.
00:18:43Uh, about last night, Judy, I'm sorry I had to break our date,
00:18:47but Tom wanted to see you.
00:18:49Judy, I'm sorry I had to break our date,
00:18:51but Tom wanted me to go over these bills for him.
00:18:54Must be rather difficult acting as agent for a building concern
00:18:57and running a drugstore and everything.
00:18:59Keeps me hopping all right,
00:19:00but last night I just couldn't make it, Judy.
00:19:03You needn't worry about me.
00:19:04I found something else to do.
00:19:06Judy!
00:19:08How about Wednesday night?
00:19:09We could go to the show.
00:19:10Oh, I wouldn't think of taking you away from your business.
00:19:13Oh, Judy, you know this is my big opportunity.
00:19:15I can't mess it up.
00:19:17You've broken every date we've had for the past three weeks.
00:19:19I can't help it, Judy.
00:19:20This is my only chance to make some money.
00:19:22Tom's giving me a commission.
00:19:24And with money, I can...
00:19:27I can do a lot.
00:19:29And anyway, I've got a lot to thank Tom for.
00:19:31He's been swell.
00:19:33I guess you have been pretty busy.
00:19:35And how about Wednesday?
00:19:36All right.
00:19:37Now, if anything happens,
00:19:39I mean business, of course, I'll call you in the morning.
00:19:42Let's forget all about Wednesday.
00:19:44If you don't know now, you never will.
00:19:46Oh, Judy.
00:19:47Good morning, Miss Price.
00:19:48Good morning.
00:19:49It's a lovely day, isn't it?
00:19:53Have you looked over all those bills yet?
00:19:55It'll take about a half an hour, Tom.
00:19:57Fine.
00:19:58I'll see you later.
00:20:01They tell me there's some great fishing around these parts.
00:20:03Do you ever go?
00:20:04Oh, once in a while with Roy,
00:20:06when Dr. Christian can spare me.
00:20:08I used to do a lot of fishing back east.
00:20:09It's a great sport.
00:20:10Yes, I like it.
00:20:11Fine.
00:20:12How about making a date for tomorrow?
00:20:13You could show me all the good spots.
00:20:15I thought you were too busy working to take time out.
00:20:17Oh, all the details are arranged.
00:20:19The actual work starts tomorrow, but they won't need me.
00:20:21They won't?
00:20:22I've got the whole day planned.
00:20:24We'll fish for a couple of hours in the morning.
00:20:26We'll go over to Center City for lunch.
00:20:27In the afternoon, we'll take a drive.
00:20:29In the evening, we'll have dinner, go dancing.
00:20:31Wait a minute.
00:20:32I thought you wanted to go fishing.
00:20:34You'd better take Dr. Christian or Roy.
00:20:36Now, wouldn't I look funny dancing with Dr. Christian or Roy?
00:20:40You're impossible.
00:20:41Well, Roy can't go.
00:20:42He has to look at some specifications.
00:20:44And Dr. Christian will be busy.
00:20:46Well, somebody will get a sore throat or something.
00:20:49You've got everything all figured out, haven't you?
00:20:51Right.
00:20:52Oh, good morning, Mr. Stewart.
00:20:53Good morning, Mrs. Hasey.
00:20:55They've got the whole town all excited over that new hotel of yours.
00:20:58Well, I hope it lives up to their expectations.
00:21:00If it's anything like the picture, it will.
00:21:02Tell me, Mr. Stewart, how's the food at your hotel?
00:21:07The food?
00:21:08I hear it's perfectly dreadful.
00:21:09Oh, I've had better.
00:21:11You like cake?
00:21:12Who doesn't?
00:21:13Well, you come inside with me, and I'll let you taste some of mine.
00:21:16I'll be glad to.
00:21:23Ah, that was delicious.
00:21:26We're having a bazaar next week, and I'm entering the baking contest.
00:21:29Your cake will win an award.
00:21:31I think I'm a pretty good judge, too.
00:21:33You see, my mother was West Chester County champion in 1916.
00:21:36Really?
00:21:37Have another piece.
00:21:40Well, Mrs. Hastings, I'll make you a proposition.
00:21:42If I can walk as far as that door, I'll accept your offer.
00:21:54No sale.
00:22:00Oh, good morning.
00:22:02Mrs. Hastings and I were just...
00:22:03Yeah, I know.
00:22:04Mrs. Hastings found a new cake taster.
00:22:06Well, you don't know what you've been missing, Doctor.
00:22:08Ah, that's what you think.
00:22:13So you are the official cake taster now.
00:22:15And a job very much to my liking.
00:22:17You know, Clem used to hold that position.
00:22:19Clem?
00:22:20Mm-hmm.
00:22:21Until he had a falling out with Mrs. Hastings.
00:22:23About what?
00:22:24Well, it seems that Clem tried to tell Mrs. Hastings how to make the cakes.
00:22:27Oh, I'd never make that mistake.
00:22:29She can bake them.
00:22:30I'll eat them.
00:22:31Oh, you're smarter than Clem.
00:22:33I wouldn't go so far as to say that.
00:22:36Now, how about that fishing trip?
00:22:39All right.
00:22:40Tomorrow morning at seven?
00:22:41Fine.
00:22:42Good.
00:22:43Thanks very much, Mrs. Hastings.
00:22:44You're welcome.
00:22:45Come back again.
00:22:46Goodbye, Doctor.
00:22:47Goodbye.
00:22:48See you in the morning.
00:22:49Bye-bye.
00:22:52Fishing, eh?
00:22:54Uh-huh.
00:22:55Dr. Christian, why don't you come along?
00:22:58Everybody's pretty healthy this week.
00:23:00Oh, good.
00:23:03Seems to me that for busy executive young Stuart has plenty of time on his hands.
00:23:07Now, don't go thinking things like that.
00:23:09He's a very nice young fellow.
00:23:12And an excellent judge of cake.
00:24:10I'm ringing him.
00:24:12Hey, where's Mr. Stuart?
00:24:13He's not in.
00:24:14I'm sorry.
00:24:15Where is he?
00:24:16I gotta see him.
00:24:17What do you think this is, television?
00:24:18Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:24:21Oh, it's you.
00:24:23Where's Mr. Stuart?
00:24:24Don't yell.
00:24:25I can hear you.
00:24:27I don't know where he is.
00:24:28Well, where can I look?
00:24:29It's important.
00:24:30Ask Roy.
00:24:31Maybe he knows.
00:24:32Hey, we struck oil on the hotel property.
00:24:34Oil?
00:24:35Oil.
00:24:37Sounds kind of funny to me.
00:24:39I never heard of oil around here.
00:24:41But I'm telling you.
00:24:42I had my hands full of the stuff.
00:24:44Hey, we gotta find Mr. Stuart.
00:24:45Well, come on.
00:24:46Hey, maybe he's with George Barry.
00:24:48Boy, that'd be swell to have an oil field around here.
00:24:56George!
00:24:58Where's Tom?
00:24:59How do I know where he is?
00:25:01We gotta see him.
00:25:02They struck oil on the hotel site.
00:25:04What?
00:25:05Oil?
00:25:06Yeah.
00:25:07Globs of it.
00:25:08Right in the ground.
00:25:09Black as soot.
00:25:10I think they went fishing.
00:25:11Let's ask Ms. Hastings.
00:25:12Wait a minute.
00:25:13I'll go with you.
00:25:14They paid me $40 a acre for that.
00:25:22George!
00:25:23George!
00:25:29Here they are now.
00:25:30We've been waiting for you, Doc.
00:25:32They've been struck oil.
00:25:33Hold on, George.
00:25:34I'll explain it.
00:25:35What's the matter?
00:25:36Why all the excitement?
00:25:37They've been bouncing up and down like a couple of crazy men all afternoon.
00:25:39They found oil on the hotel site this morning.
00:25:41They what?
00:25:42It was practically on top of the ground.
00:25:44Why, that's unbelievable.
00:25:45Don't go playing games with me, young fella.
00:25:48You know it was there all the time.
00:25:50Oil?
00:25:51In river sand?
00:25:52Look, I got samples of it down at my store.
00:25:54I went and got it myself, didn't I?
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:57You knew there was oil there.
00:25:59Well, maybe we'd better go and take a look.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:02Come on.
00:26:03I'll show you.
00:26:07Prime.
00:26:08Plenty of bottles.
00:26:13I can't understand it.
00:26:15Well, I can.
00:26:16First you found out what was on that property, and then you bought it.
00:26:19You can't fool me, young fella.
00:26:21And I won't let you get away with it.
00:26:22Let me assure you, Mr. Browning, that I bought that property
00:26:24because it was well suited to the type of building I wanted to put up.
00:26:27It's beautiful land.
00:26:28That's the only reason I bought it.
00:26:30Beautiful.
00:26:31It's been a white elephant on my hands for ten years.
00:26:33It's ugly, and you know it.
00:26:35Is that right?
00:26:36Judging by the speech you made when you sold it to me, you didn't think so.
00:26:40I'm sorry, doctor.
00:26:41But it certainly looks like oil.
00:26:43And if it is, it would be foolish to build a resort on such valuable land.
00:26:47All right, if you don't want to build a hotel out there,
00:26:49I'll buy it back and I'll dig a well on it.
00:26:52It's not as easy as all that.
00:26:53Don't forget the Hotel Corporation owns that land.
00:26:55There must be some way to get around that.
00:26:57If there's oil there, the people should have a chance to make something out of it.
00:27:00I don't know.
00:27:01I'll have to take that up with our president, Mr. D.B. Vander.
00:27:04He's a pretty tough businessman.
00:27:06Why don't you get in touch with him and find out?
00:27:08I could.
00:27:09I could talk to him right now.
00:27:10He's probably still in his office.
00:27:12Well, come on, let's get going.
00:27:13Sit right there.
00:27:15Here you are.
00:27:17Is it all right to call Chicago, Mr. Browning?
00:27:19What?
00:27:20Chicago.
00:27:21Chicago?
00:27:22Yes.
00:27:26Sure.
00:27:27Go right ahead.
00:27:29Hello.
00:27:30Hello, long distance, please.
00:27:33Long distance.
00:27:34I want to call Chicago, please.
00:27:36Harrison, 8-4-6-0.
00:27:40I'd like to let you folks in on this,
00:27:41but if he ever finds out there's enough oil in that land to be discovered from the topsoil,
00:27:45he'll never share it.
00:27:46Hello.
00:27:47I want to speak to D.B., please.
00:27:49This is Tom Stewart.
00:27:50Just a minute, please.
00:28:02Telephone, D.B.
00:28:03Tom Stewart.
00:28:04Oh, thank you, my good man.
00:28:06I can't make up my mind between Dewitt and Stevang.
00:28:10Make it a dollar on Stevang.
00:28:12Okay, where's the buck?
00:28:14Well, can't you trust me for a dollar?
00:28:16Now, you know the rules of the house.
00:28:22I owe you a dime.
00:28:26What's keeping him so long?
00:28:28This call has to go through about six secretaries.
00:28:30He's one of the wealthiest men in Chicago.
00:28:32Couldn't have charged to the other end, could you?
00:28:35I mean...
00:28:36Hello.
00:28:37Hello, D.B.
00:28:39Yes, I'm in Rivers End.
00:28:41How are all the suckers up there?
00:28:43Coming along very well, yes, sir.
00:28:46Uh-huh.
00:28:47They're off.
00:28:48As they go past...
00:28:49Hold everything.
00:28:50And it's Stevang on top.
00:28:51Lubbercumback is second in length.
00:28:53Johnny Boy is third ahead.
00:28:54And Dewitt is coming up on the rail.
00:28:57He's taking it up with the board of directors.
00:28:59It's Stevang and Lubbercumback.
00:29:01It's Lubbercumback, yes, sir.
00:29:03And Lubbercumback wins it.
00:29:05Stevang is second and Johnny Boy is third.
00:29:12How do you like a dog like that?
00:29:14Leads all the way,
00:29:16then folds like an accordion four lengths short of the wire.
00:29:19Don't worry, D.B.
00:29:20We won't lose anything on this deal.
00:29:23All right, I'll call you tonight.
00:29:25Goodbye.
00:29:28He says yes.
00:29:29Yes!
00:29:33Wait a minute.
00:29:34Wait a minute.
00:29:35We're not going to sell stock.
00:29:37We're going to make this a real partnership.
00:29:39Sure.
00:29:40I like that.
00:29:41Come on, Gertrude.
00:29:43Let's invest our dollars.
00:29:45I should say not.
00:29:46Suppose we get a man.
00:29:47Suppose we get married someday.
00:29:49Maybe it's a good investment.
00:29:52Hold on, folks.
00:29:53I know this is the wrong time to say anything.
00:29:56And you people are so excited.
00:29:58But don't you think we'd better be sure that there is oil
00:30:01before making any investments?
00:30:02Well, how could you be any more sure?
00:30:04There it is right there on the table.
00:30:05We don't know much about oil around here.
00:30:08Maybe if we could get a geologist to kind of check up,
00:30:11we'd be safe all around.
00:30:13Certainly.
00:30:14Dr. Christian's perfectly right.
00:30:15I was a fool not to have thought of it myself.
00:30:17I'll call a geologist tonight.
00:30:19How does that sound to you, Dr. Christian?
00:30:21Oh, fine.
00:30:23Fine.
00:30:24Well, I guess that's all there is to that, boys.
00:30:30Congratulations, Tom.
00:30:31Don't congratulate me.
00:30:33I think we're all very lucky.
00:30:35Oh, it isn't all luck.
00:30:36You're just what this town needed,
00:30:38someone energetic and enterprising enough to wake it up.
00:30:54Oil occurs in sedimentary rocks of shallow marine,
00:30:57estuarine and deltaic origin,
00:31:00i.e., i.e., i.e., i.e.
00:31:05Beds formed along seashores in inland bays and at river mouths.
00:31:10You know, Tom, this is quite interesting.
00:31:12Get rid of that.
00:31:13They're waiting for us.
00:31:23Oh, I'm glad to see you.
00:31:25Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Emerson, our geologist.
00:31:29How do you do?
00:31:30How do you do?
00:31:31Charmed.
00:31:32Happy to meet you all.
00:31:33I was extremely fortunate in being able to make the train.
00:31:36So busy, you know.
00:31:37Yeah.
00:31:38I was interested in knowing...
00:31:39Certainly.
00:31:40I hate to rush you, Mr. Emerson.
00:31:41We want to know what your findings are.
00:31:42Of course, of course.
00:31:43Let us proceed.
00:31:49Very promising, I must say.
00:31:51But naturally, I'm speaking figuratively.
00:31:54I brought my equipment along,
00:31:56and I'll require a room in which to make further examinations.
00:31:58I've already made arrangements for that, Mr. Emerson.
00:32:00I've engaged one at the hotel for you.
00:32:02I think Mr. Emerson should get to work right away.
00:32:04Well, yes, so do I.
00:32:05What's holding you up?
00:32:06Well, of course, you gentlemen realize that if there is oil here,
00:32:10the sinking of a well will require considerable capital.
00:32:14Don't you worry about that.
00:32:16We've got plenty of money in this town.
00:32:18Enough to sink six wells.
00:32:20Once you say the good word, Mr. Emerson,
00:32:22and the people of Rivers End become financially interested,
00:32:25I'm going to catch the first train to Chicago
00:32:27and arrange for drilling operators and competent engineers to handle it.
00:32:30A very good plan, if I may say so, Mr. Stewart.
00:32:33But then again, we've got to be sure there is oil here, don't we?
00:32:38Shall we take you back now?
00:32:39Yes, of course.
00:33:01I'm leaving now.
00:33:02The sewing circle meets at 8 o'clock.
00:33:04All right, Mrs. Hastings.
00:33:05And, Roy, don't forget to tell Mr. Stewart that I've saved up $80,
00:33:10and I don't want to be left out.
00:33:13I won't forget, Mrs. Hastings.
00:33:14Good night.
00:33:19Everybody is certainly getting excited around here.
00:33:22Even Mrs. Hastings.
00:33:24Well, I'd say we've got something to get excited about.
00:33:27I know, but they're going to invest their life savings.
00:33:30There's nothing to worry about, Doctor.
00:33:32Tom's not taking any money until the geologist says it's definite.
00:33:36Yes.
00:33:45Long distance, please.
00:33:48Uh, Mr. Harvey Manning, 22 Oak Street, Center City.
00:33:54Yes.
00:33:55Yes.
00:33:57Please connect me with his number.
00:34:01You know, Roy, to a town like ours, this could be a very serious thing.
00:34:06It's like a snowball getting bigger and bigger as it rolls downhill.
00:34:13Hello?
00:34:16Hello, Harvey?
00:34:18This is Paul Christian.
00:34:20Fine, how are you?
00:34:23No.
00:34:24No, this is a professional call.
00:34:28I'd like you to come here and make some tests on some land.
00:34:31They say there's oil.
00:34:33As soon as you possibly can, it's quite important.
00:34:37You'll drive down? Fine.
00:34:40Tomorrow morning?
00:34:42Thanks, Harvey.
00:34:44You're certainly a real friend.
00:34:47Goodbye.
00:34:49Another geologist?
00:34:51What for?
00:34:54When a doctor diagnoses a case and he isn't positive,
00:34:58he calls in a specialist, doesn't he?
00:35:01I guess so.
00:35:04Two geologists will make more or less a sure thing of it.
00:35:07If they agree.
00:35:09But anyway, don't invest your money until we find out.
00:35:12All right.
00:35:13Well, I gotta be going, Doc.
00:35:15Judy around?
00:35:16No, she went over to the produce, delivering some more medicine.
00:35:22Hello, Pam.
00:35:23Hello, Doc.
00:35:24Oh, there's my man.
00:35:25Roy, I've been looking all over town for you.
00:35:27It's about the oil wells.
00:35:28You know, I got a cousin, Chester, in Milwaukee, and he makes drills.
00:35:31He makes little drills, big drills, all kinds of drills.
00:35:33Now listen, if you're going to drill for oil, you gotta use drills.
00:35:35So I thought you might use the drills that are made by my cousin, Chester.
00:35:38The best drills in Milwaukee.
00:35:40I'll speak to Tom about it.
00:35:41Well, look, it isn't that my cousin needs the business,
00:35:44but after all, you know, Chester is my cousin.
00:35:46I won't forget.
00:35:48Ah, Doc.
00:35:49I gotta had a tough day.
00:35:50I sure been on duty all day long.
00:35:52My dogs are killing me.
00:35:54Yeah, gotta go home and get something to eat now.
00:35:56And boy, how I dread it.
00:35:58You know, my wife, best little woman in the world,
00:36:00but oh, she's a terrible cook, a terrible cook.
00:36:04Yesterday, I brought home a juicy tenderloin steak about that thick.
00:36:07You know what she did with it?
00:36:08She boiled it.
00:36:09Oh, boy, I haven't had a square meal for about a week.
00:36:12My wife certainly is a pretty tough cook.
00:36:14Well, well, see you later, Doc.
00:36:19Come on, Clem.
00:36:20I'm a little hungry myself.
00:36:22Let's rate the icebox.
00:36:24You're not kidding, are you?
00:36:28No fuss, Doc.
00:36:29You know, any old thing will do.
00:36:30Just a little snack, you know.
00:36:32Doc.
00:36:33Come here.
00:36:35Do you see what I see?
00:36:37That certainly looks good.
00:36:39Mrs. Hastings must have left this out for me.
00:36:41For us.
00:36:43Wait till I get a knife and a couple of plates.
00:36:44Plates.
00:36:45Don't bother about plates, Doc.
00:36:47We're gonna eat this one right out of the trough.
00:36:49Oh, boy.
00:36:51There we are.
00:36:52Say, Doc.
00:36:53You sure it's all right if we eat this now?
00:36:56You're not expecting company or anything like that, are you?
00:36:58No, no, no, no.
00:36:59Don't worry.
00:37:00We can eat the whole thing.
00:37:01Say, if you want to please Mrs. Hastings, eat hearty.
00:37:03You know, that woman has a heart of gold.
00:37:05Yes, sir.
00:37:10Oh, Doc.
00:37:11That's about the best cake I ever tasted in my life.
00:37:14Maybe Mrs. Hastings should have entered that one in the contest.
00:37:23Oh, my goodness.
00:37:24What's the matter?
00:37:25Listen to this.
00:37:28This is the contest cake.
00:37:30Please don't touch.
00:37:32Mrs. Hastings.
00:37:34Contest cake?
00:37:36Well, it's in no shape for a contest now.
00:37:38I gave it an awful beating.
00:37:40Oh, but...
00:37:41This is terrible.
00:37:43She's been baking cakes for weeks getting ready for the contest.
00:37:46She's been with me 15 years and this had to happen.
00:37:50Hmm, Doc.
00:37:51I think that you and me better join the foreign legion.
00:37:55If we can find a recipe, we'll bake another cake to replace it.
00:37:59That's it, Doc.
00:38:00Why, sure.
00:38:01We'll bake another one.
00:38:02Do you know how?
00:38:03No, but I can scramble eggs.
00:38:05Well, I make a pretty good stew myself.
00:38:07Oh, the best chefs are men, aren't they?
00:38:09At least we can follow the recipe.
00:38:11Why, sure.
00:38:12You know, Doc, I'm a good baker.
00:38:14Why, sure.
00:38:15You know, Doc, I come from a long line of chefs.
00:38:17Why, my old man was a chef for years.
00:38:21Doc, we'll make a prize winner.
00:38:23I don't know about a prize winner.
00:38:30Well, Doc, there we are.
00:38:32Butter, eggs, milk, cream.
00:38:34There's the whole works.
00:38:35Everything but the baking powder.
00:38:37Well, I'll tell you.
00:38:38I'll look around through this side of the room and you look through the drawers.
00:38:40Oh, we did that once.
00:38:41Let's work until we get to that part of the recipe.
00:38:43Huh.
00:38:45What does it say first?
00:38:46Now, wait a minute.
00:38:47Let's see.
00:38:48Oh, boy, this writing is terrible.
00:38:49You know, he writes worse than my wife.
00:38:51Let me see.
00:38:53Cream and a half a cup of butter.
00:38:56Half a cup of butter.
00:38:58All right.
00:38:59There's half a cup of butter.
00:39:01But how do we cream it?
00:39:02Now, wait a minute.
00:39:03Wait a minute, Doc.
00:39:04Maybe that's wrong.
00:39:05Maybe it's cream and a half a cup of butter.
00:39:08No.
00:39:09No, I don't think so.
00:39:11Let's melt the butter over the fire.
00:39:13Why not?
00:39:14I'll melt it.
00:39:17What comes next?
00:39:19A cup of sugar.
00:39:21There you are, Doc.
00:39:22Now, what do we do with it?
00:39:23Well, maybe you better drop it in here with the butter.
00:39:25Doc, you know you're a genius.
00:39:27Yeah, we'll melt them both together and that saves time.
00:39:30How are we doing?
00:39:32Whoever said this cake making was hard.
00:39:34It's a cinch.
00:39:36There's only one thing that worries me.
00:39:38Mrs. Hastings wanted to win this contest.
00:39:41Don't worry.
00:39:42She will.
00:39:43Say, Doc.
00:39:44I've got a pretty good idea.
00:39:45Now, let's make this cake just for the other judges.
00:39:48How do you mean?
00:39:49Well, now, look.
00:39:50George and Prudence Benny like sweet stuff, don't they?
00:39:52So we'll just put in another cup of sugar.
00:39:55We'll make this cake just for them.
00:39:57We'll put in two cups.
00:39:58Well, I hope you know what you're doing.
00:40:00Don't worry now, Doc.
00:40:01Don't worry.
00:40:02Now, let me see.
00:40:03Now, chocolate.
00:40:04Three chunks.
00:40:05Yeah.
00:40:06Here they are.
00:40:07That's it.
00:40:08You know, Doc, I love chocolate.
00:40:09I...
00:40:12Doc.
00:40:13There's something wrong with this.
00:40:15Wrong?
00:40:16Yeah, it's bitter.
00:40:17Taste it.
00:40:18It is, isn't it?
00:40:20Now, you see, I'd make a very, very good cook.
00:40:22I can tell just by the taste.
00:40:24Hey, that must be spoiled.
00:40:26Throw it away.
00:40:27Mm-hmm.
00:40:28Yeah, but what are we going to use it for?
00:40:30Here we are.
00:40:31A chocolate bomb.
00:40:33Sure.
00:40:34And a dandy.
00:40:35Full of nuts.
00:40:36Oh, wait a minute.
00:40:37Better take the tin foil off first.
00:40:40That's a good idea.
00:40:45Now it says, the yolks of two eggs, well beaten.
00:40:48Only the yolks?
00:40:49What happens to the whites?
00:40:51I don't know.
00:40:52You know, these silly women, wasting money like that.
00:40:54I don't know.
00:40:55I don't know.
00:40:56I don't know.
00:40:57I don't know.
00:40:58I don't know.
00:40:59Wasting money like that, because right down here it says,
00:41:01the whites of two eggs, well beaten.
00:41:04I don't see why we shouldn't beat them together and save time.
00:41:06Why, sure.
00:41:07Absolutely.
00:41:08Absolutely.
00:41:09Isn't that just like a woman?
00:41:11Trying to make a mystery out of a simple little thing
00:41:13like beating up two eggs.
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:15Say, Doc.
00:41:16Wait a minute.
00:41:18Piece of shell in there.
00:41:19Not very sanitary, perhaps, but efficient.
00:41:22Doc.
00:41:24You know, those two eggs worry me.
00:41:28Yeah.
00:41:31They're all right.
00:41:32No, no, no, no, not that.
00:41:34I mean, I don't see how anybody can make a good cake with just two eggs.
00:41:41No, the cake recipe says that the...
00:41:43Well, never mind about the recipe.
00:41:44Whoever made up that recipe certainly was cheap.
00:41:47Yes, sir, but there's not going to be anything cheap about this.
00:41:50I'm just going to bust in a couple of more eggs.
00:41:57Well, everything is in and out but the baking powder.
00:42:00Well, I surrender.
00:42:01I can't find it.
00:42:02I looked all over.
00:42:03Let's give it, Doc.
00:42:04We don't need any baking powder.
00:42:05Oh, but the cake won't rise.
00:42:07Oh.
00:42:08Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:42:10Oh, hey, Doc.
00:42:12My father didn't work in a bakery shop for nothing.
00:42:14Look what I found.
00:42:15Yeast.
00:42:16Oh, but I don't think anybody puts yeast in cake.
00:42:18Why not?
00:42:19Yeast makes bread rise.
00:42:20Why not cake?
00:42:21We'll just put in a little just to give it a little, a little...
00:42:24Now, put in a slow oven and bake for 30 minutes.
00:42:55Doctor, I'm afraid the operation is a huge success.
00:43:01Mother and child both doing nicely.
00:43:08There you are, Doc.
00:43:10A masterpiece.
00:43:19Looks pretty all right.
00:43:21I wonder how it'll taste.
00:43:23Don't worry about that.
00:43:25Doc, we have made a cake that's going to make history.
00:43:28That's what I'm afraid of.
00:43:51Certainly nice of you, Howard, to drop all your work and come out here just for a friend.
00:43:55Not at all, Paul.
00:43:56I can understand how you feel.
00:43:58How long do you think it'll take to make your analysis?
00:44:00Now that I've got this, I should be through at 3 o'clock.
00:44:06I'll meet you at the bazaar.
00:44:07Thanks a lot.
00:44:09Oil occurs in sedimentary rocks of shallow marine.
00:44:13Estuarine and deltaic origin, i.e., beds form along seashores in inland...
00:44:19Don't recite it.
00:44:20It isn't Mary Had a Little Lamb.
00:44:22Now, Tom, you're talking to an old-time barker.
00:44:25It'll come out slicker than the oil we're trying to...
00:44:28Uh-oh.
00:44:29What time is it, Jack?
00:44:312.15.
00:44:33Yes, Mr. Anderson.
00:44:34Oh, hello, Roy.
00:44:35All set for the bazaar?
00:44:36If Mr. Emerson is ready.
00:44:37I think I have everything here.
00:44:39Good.
00:44:40I'm Mr. Manning.
00:44:41Dr. Christian reserved a room for...
00:44:42That must be the geologist Dr. Christian sent for.
00:44:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:45Did you say geologist?
00:44:47Yes, he called him last night.
00:44:48Well, you know how Dr. Christian is.
00:44:49He wants to be absolutely certain before the people invest their money.
00:44:52He's an old friend of his.
00:44:53I see.
00:44:54Uh, Roy, I think you'd better go on for the bazaar.
00:44:57I have a couple of things I want to talk over with Mr. Emerson.
00:44:59Yes, I think you'd better.
00:45:01There's just one thing more I want to do, you know, to be absolutely sure.
00:45:05Yes.
00:45:11I beg your pardon.
00:45:13Awfully stupid of me.
00:45:14Sorry.
00:45:15Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:45:17I'm so sorry.
00:45:18So, so sorry.
00:45:19I'm sorry that we can't all go together, but we won't be late.
00:45:23Pardon me.
00:45:24Could you tell me the time?
00:45:25I never carry a watch.
00:45:26Hmm?
00:45:27Having any trouble with pickpockets around here?
00:45:30No.
00:45:31That is, not until now.
00:45:34My mother gave me that watch.
00:45:35Come along, you.
00:45:36Why, this is ridiculous.
00:45:37I'm no thief.
00:45:38I'm a friend of Dr. Christian's.
00:45:39He'll explain everything.
00:45:40All right.
00:45:41You can call him from the station.
00:45:42My bag.
00:45:43All right.
00:45:44Come on.
00:45:45Come on.
00:45:46All right.
00:45:47All right.
00:45:48All right.
00:45:49All right.
00:45:50All right.
00:45:51The old watch gag.
00:45:58Don't forget, we have to pick up the Curtis's.
00:46:00Mm-hmm.
00:46:01And you will drive carefully, won't you, Doctor?
00:46:04Yes.
00:46:05Very carefully.
00:46:17No answer.
00:46:18Guess he left for the bazaar.
00:46:20But you'll have to reach him.
00:46:21I can't be kept here like this.
00:46:23What am I supposed to do about it?
00:46:25The charge is robbery.
00:46:26But I didn't do it.
00:46:28Find Dr. Christian.
00:46:29He'll explain everything.
00:46:31Yeah, I know.
00:46:32Go ahead, Jack.
00:46:33Show him suite number one.
00:46:35Come on.
00:46:36My bag.
00:46:37My specimens.
00:46:38Oh, let him have them.
00:46:40Nothing but a microscope.
00:46:41He'll explain everything.
00:46:42He'll explain everything.
00:46:43He'll explain everything.
00:46:44Oh, let him have them.
00:46:45Nothing but a microscope.
00:46:46Dirt.
00:46:47Chemicals.
00:46:48Hi, Uncle Jeff.
00:46:50Hello, Clem.
00:46:52You can take over now.
00:46:53The wife's waiting for me.
00:46:55Yes, sir.
00:46:56You're leaving it in safe hands.
00:46:58Sure.
00:47:00There's a person in number one, but don't let him bother you.
00:47:03Don't worry.
00:47:04He ain't gonna bother me.
00:47:06And Clem.
00:47:07Huh?
00:47:08Oh.
00:47:09I don't want you playing around with that radio equipment.
00:47:11Remember?
00:47:12Who, me?
00:47:13Why, Uncle Jeff.
00:47:14Honest.
00:47:15I wouldn't touch the thing.
00:47:22You think this will be big enough for the Petunia statue?
00:47:25Certainly.
00:47:26We're only taking four or five of the very nicest.
00:47:30Look what he's done.
00:47:32After all our work, they're ruined.
00:47:34Oh, dear.
00:47:35And all that medicine.
00:47:37What are we going to do now?
00:47:39What we should have done weeks ago.
00:47:41Oh.
00:47:46You bad thing.
00:47:49Oh, Gertrude.
00:47:51Not that.
00:47:53I'll show him our Petunias.
00:47:57I'll show him.
00:48:00After all my work.
00:48:02Please, Gertrude.
00:48:03Think it over.
00:48:05Oscar's a pet.
00:48:09My dear sister.
00:48:11Oh, come back to me.
00:48:14Abby.
00:48:15Gertrude.
00:48:22Where am I?
00:48:24You're still in River's End.
00:48:26What happened?
00:48:27She shot at the chicken.
00:48:29And the gun knocked her over.
00:48:31Is she really all right, Doctor?
00:48:33Of course I'm all right.
00:48:35Where's that gun?
00:48:36Now hold on, Gertrude.
00:48:37What's all the trouble?
00:48:38Trouble?
00:48:39Oscar ate all our Petunias.
00:48:42That's not so terrible.
00:48:43Not so terrible.
00:48:45We were going to win a prize with them.
00:48:48Say, he certainly turned out to be a beautiful specimen.
00:48:52Why don't you enter him in the polter show?
00:48:54Of course.
00:48:55Then we won't have to kill him.
00:48:57And we'll win a prize.
00:48:59Oscar, Oscar.
00:49:00Chick, chick, chick.
00:49:01Chick.
00:49:02Here, Oscar.
00:49:03Here, Oscar.
00:49:04Come on.
00:49:05Ooh!
00:49:05Cow!
00:49:06Ooh!
00:49:07Cow!
00:49:25Marability, old boy.
00:49:25Come on, try it again.
00:49:26Come on.
00:49:27I got it right there.
00:49:28Watch it.
00:49:29Here we go.
00:49:30Oh, that's enough for me.
00:49:32What's the matter with you, big boy?
00:49:33Come on in.
00:49:34What's the matter, are you muscle-bound?
00:49:35Hey, you don't want to pick on him.
00:49:37He's the pitcher of the home team.
00:49:38He's a hot shot.
00:49:39We like hot shots around here, big boy.
00:49:40Yeah, come on.
00:49:41Come on, George.
00:49:42Come on in here, big boy.
00:49:43Show this wise guy up.
00:49:44Come on, Phil.
00:49:45Come on, let's go.
00:49:45Watch this.
00:49:47There you go, George.
00:49:48Watch him.
00:49:49Ah!
00:49:51Ah, you can do better than that.
00:49:52Come on, big boy.
00:49:54Knock him down!
00:49:54Ah!
00:49:55There he goes!
00:49:56Out!
00:49:57Out, Mr. Boyd!
00:49:57Out!
00:49:58Fire it again!
00:49:58Two left!
00:49:59Go on!
00:49:59One more!
00:50:00Oh!
00:50:01Oh, you're kind of losing that pitch now, my boy.
00:50:03Three more.
00:50:03Three.
00:50:04One more.
00:50:04Get him back.
00:50:05Lay him right in the bush.
00:50:06Here we go.
00:50:06Watch him, boys.
00:50:07Here's that great hit.
00:50:08Take it easy now.
00:50:09Don't get excited.
00:50:10Watch him.
00:50:10There you go.
00:50:11Oh!
00:50:11What a pitcher.
00:50:12What a pitcher.
00:50:13Get that out.
00:50:14Hey!
00:50:15Oh!
00:50:16Once more, boys.
00:50:17You can't lose.
00:50:18Three, five, nine.
00:50:19Come on, lay it in.
00:50:21Well, here we are.
00:50:26We'd better take Oscar to the pole fish section.
00:50:29There it is.
00:50:32Good luck.
00:50:32Good luck.
00:50:33Thank you, doctor.
00:50:34Aren't you going to wish me luck, too, doctor?
00:50:36Sure.
00:50:37Sure.
00:50:38Well, here I go.
00:50:45Knock him down.
00:50:46Look at that, boys.
00:50:47That's the way.
00:50:48Lay him in the bush.
00:50:49Ha, ha, ha.
00:50:50Where you got him?
00:50:51I want to say that the ball's changed for 20.
00:50:54Sure, sure.
00:50:55There's your change.
00:50:56Lay it right in there, boys.
00:50:57Come on.
00:50:57Come on.
00:50:58It's easy as pie.
00:50:58Take your time.
00:50:59Take your time.
00:51:00Take your time.
00:51:02There he goes.
00:51:03That's that pitcher.
00:51:08Swing him, boys.
00:51:09Watch him.
00:51:09Come on, boys.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:11Lay him in there.
00:51:12Oh, my.
00:51:12You get one of these.
00:51:13Come on, boys.
00:51:14Swing it in.
00:51:14Watch that big old pitcher.
00:51:15Come on.
00:51:16Come on.
00:51:16Come on.
00:51:17Watch him, boys.
00:51:20Come on, here he goes again.
00:51:21Put that eye on it, boy.
00:51:22Here it goes once again.
00:51:23Watch it, boys.
00:51:24Watch it.
00:51:24He's winding up.
00:51:25There he goes.
00:51:25There he goes.
00:51:27What a pitcher.
00:51:29What a lucky boy.
00:51:32It's a big day, Dr. Christian.
00:51:34A big day for everybody.
00:51:35Tom and Mr. Emerson will be along any minute now.
00:51:37Has he made his analysis yet?
00:51:38Oh, I think so.
00:51:39He said he'd be right out.
00:51:42Hello, Judy.
00:51:43Hello.
00:51:45Why don't you two take a walk around?
00:51:47Yeah, how about it?
00:51:48Let's take a look at the exhibits.
00:51:49All right.
00:51:55Try it again, boys.
00:51:56Come on.
00:51:57Hey.
00:51:57Come on.
00:51:58Come on.
00:51:59Watch him, boys.
00:52:00Watch that arm.
00:52:01Watch him.
00:52:02Here he goes.
00:52:02Here he goes.
00:52:03Hey.
00:52:05Knock him down.
00:52:06Try it again, big boy.
00:52:07Come on.
00:52:09Come on, big strong boy.
00:52:10Let's go.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:12Three more for you now.
00:52:13Come on.
00:52:14Come on.
00:52:14Hello, Mr. Stewart.
00:52:15What's the good word?
00:52:16Well, I'm afraid we'll have to let Mr. Emerson tell you.
00:52:18Is it a gusher?
00:52:19Are we going to make a million dollars?
00:52:21Just be patient, ladies.
00:52:22Now, if we can get them all together,
00:52:24I'll make a little announcement.
00:52:25Sure.
00:52:26Come right over here.
00:52:27I'll get George.
00:52:33Mr. Emerson's over there.
00:52:36He did it, boys.
00:52:37He did it.
00:52:37Look at that.
00:52:38Oh, what a lucky man.
00:52:43Your prize, big boy.
00:52:45Something for the little lady.
00:52:46Come on.
00:52:47Who's next?
00:52:47Three balls for a dime.
00:52:48Come on in, boys.
00:52:53Who's next?
00:52:54Who's the next lucky man?
00:52:55Knock him down.
00:52:56We put him up, you knock him down.
00:52:57Here we go.
00:52:58Here we go.
00:52:58Watch him.
00:52:59Watch him.
00:52:59Here we go.
00:53:01Come on, boys.
00:53:02Hey.
00:53:03Having fun?
00:53:04You bet, Doc.
00:53:05Wonderful.
00:53:06I've seen the fertilizers, the farm implements, and the hogs.
00:53:09Very interesting, too.
00:53:11Attention, everybody.
00:53:12Attention.
00:53:13Come this way.
00:53:14My dear friend, Mr. Stewart, has a very important announcement
00:53:18to make.
00:53:21Say, Mr. Manning is late.
00:53:23He said he'd be here at 3.
00:53:24There's nothing to worry about, Dr. Christian.
00:53:26This Mr. Emerson's a pretty smart fellow.
00:53:28Ah, I'd still like it much better if I knew the outcome of Harvey's analysis.
00:53:32Why don't you get them to postpone the announcement until Mr. Manning comes?
00:53:35Can't do it.
00:53:36Tom's going to try to catch the 4 o'clock train to Chicago.
00:53:38He's going for the drills and things.
00:53:404 o'clock train?
00:53:41Yeah.
00:53:42I know you'll all be interested in what he has to say.
00:53:44And after you hear his report, if you would care to participate in this venture,
00:53:48you'll find me waiting right down there.
00:53:50And now, Mr. Emerson.
00:53:52Big hand, everybody.
00:53:56Ladies and gentlemen.
00:54:01My dear friends,
00:54:03it is with extreme pleasure that I address you happy, happy people.
00:54:08Say, this looks bad for you.
00:54:10As soon as they get all that money, they'll be getting out of town.
00:54:13You wouldn't say that, Doc, if you knew Tom like I do.
00:54:16When I told him about Mr. Manning, he was very, very happy.
00:54:19You told him?
00:54:20Sure, why not?
00:54:21Oh, I know something's wrong.
00:54:22Come on, we've got to find Manning.
00:54:24Hurry up.
00:54:26Well, go ahead.
00:54:27Go on.
00:54:32There it is.
00:54:35It'll take us half an hour to get it out.
00:54:37Come on, Doc.
00:54:41We can take my motorcycle.
00:54:43Well, if I must, I must.
00:54:46Just think what oil is used for.
00:54:49Lighting, heating, cooking, salad dressing.
00:55:01Oil is liquid gold.
00:55:03Black gold.
00:55:04The man in the street would be lost without it.
00:55:07The lady in the home finds it almost as necessary as electricity.
00:55:15Come on.
00:55:24Yes, sir, folks.
00:55:25Oil is absolutely indispensable.
00:55:28And what's more, we can't do without it.
00:55:35I'm extremely pleased to announce there is oil in River's End.
00:55:46I want my motorcycle!
00:56:01Is Mr. Manning in?
00:56:02Oh, hello, Dr. Christian.
00:56:04How's the bazaar?
00:56:05Fine, fine, but where's Mr. Manning?
00:56:07Where is he?
00:56:08It says room 64.
00:56:11Come on.
00:56:13Excuse me, but I was here first.
00:56:15I know that.
00:56:16$2,000 worth.
00:56:18Come on, get in line.
00:56:20Get in line.
00:56:24Where's the chief?
00:56:25The chief?
00:56:26I'm the chief.
00:56:27That is, I'm the acting chief.
00:56:29Somebody's got to send out a broadcast and try and locate Harvey Manning.
00:56:33Broadcast?
00:56:34Yes, it's important.
00:56:37You think you can do it?
00:56:38Me?
00:56:39Broadcast?
00:56:40Broadcast?
00:56:41Why, Doc, you've come to the right man at the right job at the right place.
00:56:45Yes, sir.
00:56:47Now, I'll find him for you.
00:56:49Just tell me what he looks like.
00:56:50He's about five feet six.
00:56:53Five foot six.
00:56:55$2,000.
00:56:56I wish I had more.
00:56:57So do I.
00:56:59$78.
00:57:00There we are.
00:57:01Now, Doc, I'm going to show you how the police department really works.
00:57:04Wait till I look at these directions.
00:57:07Move plug A down.
00:57:08Plug B up.
00:57:10Well, hurry, Kim.
00:57:11Hurry.
00:57:12Sure, Doc.
00:57:13Sure, sure.
00:57:14Move dial four to seven.
00:57:17Then wait five seconds.
00:57:20One, two, three, four, five.
00:57:26Now, Doc, we really go to town.
00:57:29Calling all cars.
00:57:30Calling all cars.
00:57:31Rivers End Police Department calling.
00:57:33Be on the lookout for Harvey Manning.
00:57:35Five foot six.
00:57:36Dark hair.
00:57:37Dark glasses.
00:57:38Wearing a brown suit.
00:57:39He's carrying a bag, I think.
00:57:44Let's do it.
00:57:45But it's our dowry.
00:57:47It's a great opportunity.
00:57:49We'll make millions.
00:57:52Probably.
00:57:53Oh, but we haven't any money with us anyway.
00:57:55Oh, yes, we have.
00:57:56I took it out of the hiding place this morning.
00:57:59All right.
00:58:00We will.
00:58:02How much?
00:58:03$174.50.
00:58:05Wait a minute, Jim.
00:58:06Why don't you wait your turn?
00:58:07Yeah, get on the end of the line.
00:58:09There you are, Doc.
00:58:10I always get my man.
00:58:15Hello, Doc.
00:58:16Hello, Jack.
00:58:17I arrested a man this morning.
00:58:18He says he knows you.
00:58:19What was he arrested for?
00:58:20He stole my watch.
00:58:22Oh, who'd I know to do such a thing?
00:58:24Well, you know how these crooks are.
00:58:25They get hold of a name in the town and say they know him.
00:58:28Anything for a stall.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30Well, I think I'll take a look at the bazaar.
00:58:32Maybe you'd better try it again, Jim.
00:58:34All right, Doc.
00:58:35Represent, police department calling.
00:58:37Be on the lookout for Harvey Manning.
00:58:39About 50 years of age.
00:58:40Say, this man you arrested, what did he look like?
00:58:42He looked like a professor.
00:58:43A funny little guy with glasses, had a bag with...
00:58:45Where is he?
00:58:46In the cell.
00:58:47Well, that's Mr. Manning.
00:58:48I'll vouch for him.
00:58:49Get him out.
00:58:52Harvey.
00:58:53Harvey.
00:58:54Oh.
00:58:55All a mistake, Mr. Manning.
00:58:56Open it up.
00:58:57Open it up.
00:58:58Hurry.
00:59:00Did you find anything?
00:59:01No.
00:59:03Did you find anything?
00:59:04A lot of lubricating oil that had been planted.
00:59:07Whoever claims there's oil on that property is a swindler.
00:59:10That land has been salted.
00:59:12You mean there isn't any oil?
00:59:13Are you sure, Mr. Manning?
00:59:14Couldn't you be mistaken?
00:59:15Certainly not.
00:59:16I thought so.
00:59:17Come on, let's hurry back.
00:59:18Calling all cars.
00:59:19Calling all cars.
00:59:20Sending out a call for Harvey Manning.
00:59:22Five foot six, wearing glasses and a brown suit.
00:59:25And carrying a bag.
00:59:33Shh.
00:59:41Eighty-three dollars even.
00:59:42Next.
00:59:44How much shall I sell for?
00:59:45You know, after we strike oil.
00:59:47A great deal more than you paid, Mrs. Gattle.
00:59:49A great deal.
00:59:50Next.
00:59:51Next.
00:59:52Step right up here.
00:59:53Wonderful.
00:59:54Pardon me.
00:59:55Good afternoon, Mr. Stewart.
00:59:56How do you do?
00:59:57Mrs. Gertrude and Abby Purdy.
01:00:00And I thought he was my friend.
01:00:03Just a crook, that's all.
01:00:20That's all right.
01:00:21How much?
01:00:22$174.50.
01:00:24I think it's $147.50.
01:00:28By Abby, we counted it three days ago and that's what it was.
01:00:31I don't think you're right.
01:00:32I'm sure the four comes before the seven.
01:00:35We'll count it now.
01:00:37Two.
01:00:38We're in an awful hurry, boys.
01:00:39Everything's under control.
01:00:41Go ahead.
01:00:42Wait a minute.
01:00:43There's the guy we got the call about.
01:00:44Listen, everything will be explained later.
01:00:47I'll take the full responsibility.
01:00:48Certainly, doctor.
01:00:49Give us a hand.
01:00:50Sure, Jack.
01:00:52Come on.
01:00:58$164, $165, $166.50.
01:01:03We were both wrong, weren't we, Gertrude?
01:01:06That's all right.
01:01:07That's all right, ladies.
01:01:08Oh, just a moment, Mr. Stewart.
01:01:10We'd like to ask you a few questions about the shares.
01:01:18Who is the party of the second part?
01:01:20I think that's us.
01:01:21Really, ladies, I'm in an awful hurry.
01:01:24Then Mr. Stewart is party of the first part.
01:01:27Silly, isn't he?
01:01:33You can keep it with my compliments.
01:01:42No, you don't.
01:01:43Come here.
01:01:44I said no, no, you don't.
01:01:46You will steal my wallet.
01:01:51Get that bag.
01:01:52It's got the money in it.
01:01:54Can I get my shoulder into that tackle?
01:01:56Roy, the old coach would be proud of you.
01:02:01The people of River's End certainly have a lot to thank you for, doc.
01:02:05I know I appreciate it.
01:02:07Don't thank me.
01:02:09Roy is as much responsible for it as I am.
01:02:12I wish we had more fellows like Roy in River's End.
01:02:15He's just what this town needs.
01:02:17Energetic and enterprising enough to wake it up.
01:02:21Come on, Judy, let's take a look at the exhibits.
01:02:23Oh, I'd love to.
01:02:25Well, it is time. Let's skip the livestock.
01:02:28Where have you been, doctor? You're holding up the whole works.
01:02:31And you're one of the judges of the bacon contest.
01:02:33Come on, hurry.
01:02:36Step right in. Three, four, dine.
01:02:38Well, here's the big boy once again.
01:02:40The great pitcher, the big shot.
01:02:42Come on, lay him in there, my boy.
01:02:44Lay him right in there. Three, four, dine.
01:02:47One dine. Three, four, dine. Take six.
01:02:49Here we go. Shoot off there.
01:02:51Watch that eye. There we go. Watch him.
01:02:54Don't get excited. Take it easy.
01:02:59And last but not least is the entry of Mrs. Hastings.
01:03:05Come on, doctor. You're the first taster.
01:03:10I've tasted all the others and they've all been pretty good.
01:03:13I don't think I'll be a very good judge.
01:03:15Well, let's get it over with. Everybody's waiting.
01:03:18Ooh.
01:03:20Say, this is the best one of the lot.
01:03:22It's delicious.
01:03:24What do you think, doctor?
01:03:30It is good.
01:03:37Take it easy. Take it easy.
01:03:39Take it easy, my boy. A good pitcher takes it easy and slow.
01:03:42Take your time. Take your time.
01:03:44Always knock those levels down and get a big prize.
01:03:46Ah, here we go again.
01:03:48Lay him in there.
01:03:50Quiet, quiet, please. Attention.
01:03:52The judges of this contest have been Dr. Christian...
01:03:57...and Prudence Penny.
01:03:59Prudence Penny will now award the prize.
01:04:02The winner of this contest is Mrs. Hastings.
01:04:09You? Last night?
01:04:11Well, what do you know about that?
01:04:13Come on, let's congratulate Mrs. Hastings.
01:04:15Congratulations, Mrs. Hastings.
01:04:19Thank you, doctor. I didn't think I'd win it. Really, I didn't.
01:04:22I baked that cake this morning.
01:04:24This morning?
01:04:26Oh, the most awful thing happened.
01:04:28When I went into the kitchen, the one I baked yesterday was blown to smithereens.
01:04:33I must have used gold powder instead of baking powder.
01:04:39Well, I'm glad I baked another one.
01:04:41So am I.
01:04:44Don't get so excited. Take it easy, kid.
01:04:46Take it easy, my boy. Take it easy.
01:04:48Take it easy.
01:04:50Come on, boys. Come on. Knock them down.
01:04:57What's your take for this, George?
01:05:01Oh, my goodness.
01:05:03Mrs. Hastings, look.
01:05:05Oh, my cake.
01:05:07That's the second time he's done that to me.
01:05:11Oh, my goodness.
