00:00Champion the Wonder Horse! Champion the Wonder Horse!

00:11Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.

00:14Like a swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow.

00:17Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.

00:21You'll hear about him everywhere you go.

00:25The time will come when everyone will know the name of...

00:28Champion the Wonder Horse!

00:58Thunder Sky! Chuka!

01:20We are friends and brothers?

01:22Always. Welcome.

01:28There is big trouble coming.

01:30Peace no longer sits in the teepees of my people.

01:33What kind of trouble?

01:34My brother knows Longhorn, our medicine man.

01:37Longhorn is not my brother.

01:39He talks war against the white man.

01:41But you're the chief. The tribe follows your counsel.

01:45Longhorn has won an evil power.

01:47He has found a kachina.

01:49A kachina? What's that?

01:51Long, long ago, my people prayed to bad gods.

01:55A kachina was their sign.

01:57Longhorn tells it is a war sign.

01:59He tells it is a sign we must fight the white man

02:02or the old gods will come back and destroy us.

02:05My braves believe him. They fear the old magic.

02:08What does this kachina look like?

02:10It is a skull. Older than the mountains.

02:13Like a horse, but not a horse.

02:15Well, if this is the only thing that gives Longhorn power,

02:18can't you take it from him?

02:19He hides it in the cave where he found it.

02:22We search, but there are many caves.

02:24We cannot find the right one.

02:26My people must not take the war path.

02:28It's too late to drive off the white man.

02:30We must learn to live in peace.

02:32I come to my white brother

02:34because I know he is the Indian's friend.

02:36My brother can help.

02:38How, Thundersky?

02:39Bring in Bluecoats.

02:40Cavalry? It's that bad?

02:42My people hear my words, but Longhorn's power grows.

02:46The ground will run with blood if Bluecoats do not come.

02:50All right, I'll telegraph the territorial government right away

02:53and tell them of the kachina and the danger.

02:55The danger is great.

02:57To my people.

03:16Come on.

03:35Come on, Thundersky.

03:36Chuka.

03:42Come on, champ.

03:46Come on.

03:52Uncle Sandy, what's the matter with Thundersky and Chuka?

03:55They wouldn't even stop to talk to me.

03:58Well, they're worried, and it looks like we all have reason to be worried.

04:01I'll tell you as soon as I finish this telegram.

04:16Come on.

04:47Here it is.

04:52Get it.

04:55Get it.

05:11Ricky, Thundersky and Chuka haven't heard from for two days since they left here.

05:15Do you think Longhorn...

05:16I know what Longhorn's doing.

05:18The telegram came from the government.

05:20Are they sending cavalry?

05:22Send cavalry on the stage.

05:24Listen to this.

05:26Order to investigate matter of kachina arriving Friday's stage, Baxter.

05:30Well, that's today.

05:32Who's Baxter?

05:33I don't know, unless they're sending some officer to make sure it's serious.

05:36One officer won't help.

05:38No, not even a full colonel.

05:40Look, you go hitch up the buckboard and go meet the stage.

05:42I've got to try and find out what happened to Thundersky and Chuka.

05:45Right away, Uncle Sandy.

06:02Whoa!

06:13Whoa!

06:24The stage is in.

06:26But there's no officer.

06:28Wait here, Rebel.

06:31Excuse me, mister.

06:33Was there a colonel or maybe even a major on the stage?

06:36There was not.

06:38And perhaps you can tell me who and where Mr. Sandy North is.

06:43Is your name Baxter?

06:45See here, young man.

06:46I don't like your tone of voice.

06:48I am Professor Simeon Baxter.

06:50Professor?

06:51Oh, yes.

06:52Professor Simeon Baxter.

06:54Professor Simeon Baxter.

06:56I don't like your tone of voice.

06:58I am Professor Simeon Baxter.

07:00Professor?

07:01But we said for soldiers.

07:03I told them.

07:04I told them at the Capitol.

07:06Indian uprisings are not stopped by a paleontologist.

07:12Sandy North, my uncle.

07:14You better explain to him.

07:26Oh, no.

07:56Whoa!

08:06Cam!

08:17What is it?

08:18Seems to me it's obviously a horse.

08:21I can't explain it right now.

08:23A horse like this, it means there's something wrong that he wants me to see.

08:32You'll have to excuse me, Professor.

08:34It may have something to do with the Indian trouble.

08:37What am I to do?

08:38Just stay here.

08:39I'll leave Rebel with you.

08:41Rebel, you stay.

08:53Let's go.

09:01Those who doubt power of Kachina

09:03will think again when Pawnee take Chuka to camp.

09:06Make horse go.

09:08Wait!

09:10Kali, it's Longhorn and Chuka.

09:14Shoot to frighten filthy boy.

09:16We are not ready for final step till war council meet.

09:24Go on, Cam.

09:38Enough.

09:53Fire!

10:24How is he, Uncle Sandy?

10:27Well, he's going to be all right, but he'll need help.

10:29Where's the buckboard?

10:30Down on the road.

10:31Get it and we'll take him to the ranch.

10:33Come on, Cam.

10:40And so, when your message arrived, they decided to send me.

10:43Because you said the opposite of what I said.

10:46You said you were going to take me to the ranch.

10:49And so, when your message arrived, they decided to send me.

10:52Because you said the uprising was based on finding an ancient skull.

10:56And I happened to be a paleontologist.

10:58Excuse me, Professor.

11:00What's that?

11:01A student of fossils, historic and prehistoric.

11:04A specialist, you might say, in the significance of old bones.

11:08Well, that might be a big help if we could ever find the Kachina.

11:11But I thought I made it clear to them

11:13that we're in trouble if we don't get army protection.

11:19Well, they've stranded him.

11:23It's all right now, Chuka. You're safe.

11:27Is that a representation of the Kachina?

11:30Yeah, it must be.

11:32Then I think I know what it is.

11:34A rare find and a most exciting one.

11:37The skull of a Marapus ungulate.

11:39Well, that's something I never heard of.

11:41It's an animal with a body like a bear, three-toed, clawed feet,

11:44and a head much like a horse.

11:46Gosh, Professor, there's nothing like that around here.

11:49Well, there was 17 million years ago.

11:53And aside from the immediate problem,

11:55a prize of great scientific interest.

11:58Nobody knows where to look for it, though.

12:00Are you sure it's in the cave where the medicine man found it?

12:03Thundersky said it was.

12:05Then with a bit of luck, I could possibly find that cave.

12:09You could? How?

12:11By looking for a rock structure that matches the time the beast existed.

12:15Professor, if there's even an outside chance of your finding this thing,

12:18your scientific knowledge might save more lives than the cavalry

12:21by stopping this uprising before it begins.

12:23You tell us where to look and we'll find it.

12:26Very well.

12:28All you have to do is to find strata, or rock layers,

12:32of the Miocenic period of the Cenozoic era, huh?

12:35Gosh, Professor, whatever that means,

12:38you're the only one that understands it.

12:40I should like to help,

12:42but I'm not sure I'm physically fit for the effort.

12:47Longhorn!

12:50It's all right now, Chuca. I told you you're safe.

12:54Ricky.

12:56Sandy.

12:59Where is Thundersky?

13:01In the cave of the Cochina.

13:03Longhorn took us prisoner.

13:06Well, my father would not call a war council.

13:09Longhorn branded me

13:11with the sign of the Cochina

13:13to make him suffer for me.

13:16My father did not give in.

13:18He will never call our people to war.

13:21And for this, Longhorn will kill him.

13:24Not if we get to that cave in time.

13:26Well, if they took you to the cave, you must know where it is.

13:29No.

13:31They did not let me see it.

13:33And at the end, Longhorn hit me.

13:36I remember nothing.

13:38Professor, if Longhorn kills Thundersky,

13:41there will be war, and nothing can stop it

13:43except your scientific knowledge.

13:45Very well.

13:47Whenever you're ready, Mr. North, we'll look for the cave.

13:50Thanks, Professor.

13:55Is Chuca alive?

13:57Longhorn answer no question.

13:59You call war council, you go free.

14:02You have my answer.

14:04We must live in peace with the white man.

14:06I hate white man.

14:08Old God's much stronger than him.

14:10Our tribe know.

14:12They ready to follow him.

14:13No, Longhorn, not yet.

14:15If that were so, you wouldn't ask me to call a war council.

14:19They will follow me when they see Old God

14:21have give me your scalp to hang before my teepee,

14:24and scalp of Chuca.

14:25I will give up my life, and my son's life,

14:28rather than lead our people to their death.

14:30Our people will live, but you will die.

14:33You will die when flame burn low as my knife.

14:37Chuca die too.

14:38Then Chuca is alive.

14:40He die soon.

14:41Then brains of Amy, and cochina of Old God.

15:04Well, I guess it's no use, Chuca.

15:06The white medicine man thinks this is the right ground.

15:09This may be the right ground,

15:10but we've covered an awful lot of territory

15:12without finding the cave.

15:15Uncle Sandy!

15:17Ricky, over here!

15:19Let's go, champ!

15:29Professor Baxter's sure now.

15:31He says this ridge is honeycombed with caves

15:33where the cochina could have been buried.

15:35Did you find the entrance?

15:36No, but he says...

15:38I will see what Red will find.

15:45He says that we should watch for anything that might be a cave,

15:48even a little one.

15:49Sandy!

15:50Ricky!

15:55Redwell's found something.

15:57Maybe only prairie dog.

16:02That might be an entrance.

16:03Yeah, a prairie dog burrow.

16:05We'll take a look.

16:06Well, I have to go back to Professor Baxter.

16:09Redwell sure is excited about something.

16:21Redwell, I'm surprised it's you,

16:23not known to Marapa Zungulate from an ordinary steerbone.

16:26Say, you tell the professor Chuca and I

16:28to crawl in any hole big enough to hold us if we find one.

16:31All right.

16:58Let's go.

17:18They haven't had any luck yet, Professor.

17:20I have found something that may lead to a maze of caves.

17:24Gosh.

17:25A cochina cave, maybe?

17:27I have to explore it.

17:29Well, it's pretty small.

17:31I'd better go in first.

17:32Decidedly not.

17:34There may be an element of risk,

17:36and I must inspect the strata on the interior.

17:38Well, maybe I should get Uncle Sandy.

17:40Not yet.

17:41Let us make sure first.

17:43Take it down here.

17:51Oh, Ricky, give me my pickaxe.

17:54Will you please?

18:00Ah, thank you.

18:05Look out, Professor!

18:08Professor!

18:14Professor!

18:27Professor!

18:53Keep pulling, champ!

18:54Keep pulling!

18:58Professor Baxter!

19:01Hold it there, champ!

19:12Are you all right, Professor?

19:14I think so.

19:16I just struck my head.

19:28Look, champ, there's a rock away.

19:30But I want to sit back.

19:32There's nothing to do but find where this tunnel leads.

19:36There's nothing to do but find where this tunnel leads.

19:58Thundersky!

20:00It's here.

20:01A priceless specimen of the Barapas ungulate.

20:04We can get Thundersky loose.

20:06Come on, Professor.

20:10Where's the brother?

20:11But where's Sandy?

20:12He's looking for you, too, on the other side of the ridge.

20:15Is Long gone around?

20:17No, but he will return.

20:18Then we'd better get out of here fast.

20:20Who's the stranger?

20:21Professor Baxter.

20:22He showed us where to find the cave.

20:24Oh, yes.

20:25How did you do, Thundersky?

20:26Excuse me, please.

20:29One!

20:30The white stranger believe in kachina, too?

20:32No, it's not a kachina to him.

20:34It's something else.

20:36Professor, we've got to try to get out right away.

20:39Yes, of course.

20:40But where is the cave entrance?

20:42Slowly, my friend.

20:43The entrance is behind that stone ridge.

20:45And there will be guards outside, and we are not armed.

20:48But does not matter now.

20:49We have the symbol of power.

20:51And besides, your friend Longhorn would scarcely dare attack a representative of the government.

20:57I don't know about Longhorn.

20:59The devil has entered into his spirit.

21:01He will dare anything.

21:02Well spoken, Thundersky.

21:05Longhorn dare anything.

21:07But he hear you.

21:08Grab pale-faced old kachina.

21:10I warned you the government sent me.

21:12Listen well, Thundersky.

21:14You ask for blue coats.

21:16White father send one old man.

21:18Now kachina give him to me.

21:20You want more proof of power of kachina over white man?

21:23It was not a kachina.

21:25Our people will believe.

21:27Look at flame.

21:31Your time now, Thundersky.

21:33You call war council?

21:34No.

21:35Then you will be first sacrifice to old god in many moons.

21:55Up there.

22:01Go, go, go.

22:14You know, something has happened to Ricky, Joker.

22:17Tracks.

22:18Ricky and Professor.

22:21You know, that rock is covering what might be an entrance.

22:28Perhaps Rebel has found something.

22:30Well, I hope it's not another shinbone.

22:46Longhorn's men, Sandy.

22:48This might be our break, Joker.

23:01More.

23:02Quick.

23:08Doom of Thundersky is doomed to traitor of his people.

23:12The kachina will tell me what old god wish to do with pale faced enemies.

23:30No.

23:31Longhorn inside.

23:32He would hear.

23:38Charge him, champ.

23:39You stay here.

23:40Come on, Rebel.

24:00It's champ.

24:31Uncle.

24:51Rebel.

24:53Watch him.

24:55He just made it in time, Uncle Sandy.

24:58Now we are safe from that kachina.

25:01Where is it?

25:02I had to use it as a weapon.

25:04Great loss to science.

25:06Unless I can restore it.

25:09My father.

25:10All is well now, Joker.

25:25Champion!

25:26The Wonder Horse!

25:28Champion!

25:29The Wonder Horse!

25:35Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.

25:38Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow.

25:41Like a mighty cannon ball he seems to fly.

25:45You'll hear about him everywhere you go.

25:49The time will come when everyone will know the name of Champion!

25:54The Wonder Horse!

25:56Champion!

25:57The Wonder Horse!
