00:00Champion of a wonder horse, champion of a wonder horse.

00:10Like 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.

00:24The time will come when everyone will know

00:27the name of champion of a wonder horse.

00:57I brought you a present.

01:24Champion of a wonder horse.

01:53I threw that rock.

02:05It didn't mean to hurt you.

02:06You ain't hurt, are you?

02:07No, I guess not.

02:10Say, you're Les Parker, aren't you?

02:12Living with the Baxter's?

02:14Yeah, that's where I've been living.

02:16Well, I'm Ricky Norris.

02:18Yeah, I know.

02:21Now, don't be scared.

02:26He was protecting me.

02:28But it's all right now.

02:31Now, say howdy to him, champ.

02:39There, you see?

02:43Who were you throwing that rock at?

02:45A rabbit.

02:46Oh, I saw him.

02:48I throw at them, too.

02:49When they get in our vegetable patch.

02:51But I never hit one yet.

02:55I wasn't doing it to chase them.

02:57I was trying to get me something to eat.

02:59Oh, you like rabbits?

03:01It ain't a question of liking.

03:03I ain't had nothing to eat since yesterday morning.

03:06You haven't?

03:08Been out there in the hills since then.

03:11Gee willikers.

03:12All night?

03:13It wasn't so bad.

03:15I ran away from the Baxter's.

03:17You did?

03:18Well, why?

03:19I guess you know my thoughts in prison.

03:22Well, I took all I could stand having them reminding me about it all the time.

03:27And saying I'd wind up the same way.

03:30Guess I'll mosey along.

03:32Wait, Les.

03:34How about coming home with me?

03:37What for?

03:38Well, it's almost time for dinner.

03:41And I can get my own food.

03:43Anyway, your uncle was booting me right off the ranch.

03:45Well, not Uncle Sandy.

03:46He's the best there is.

03:48Well...

03:49Aw, come on.

03:51Well, okay.

03:53Swell.

03:55See you tomorrow, champ.

03:56You can go back to your herd.

04:02Come on, Les.

04:04Go, Rebel.

04:16Come on.

04:28Would you like another glass of milk, Les?

04:30I've had enough.

04:32Thanks.

04:34Well, there's plenty more here if you want it.

04:36I'd better get back to work.

04:38Ricky, take care of the dishes, will you?

04:39Sure, Sandy.

04:46Didn't I tell you he's the best there is?

04:48He's sure been all right.

04:50So far.

04:52Excuse me a minute, Les.

04:54Something I forgot.

05:02Don't you feel sorry for Les, Uncle Sandy?

05:04Yeah, he's had a pretty rough time.

05:06But he's all right.

05:08No matter what they say about him.

05:10Well, it'll take time to tell.

05:12You mean, you think he'll turn out to be like his father?

05:15The way the Baxter's told him?

05:17No, not necessarily.

05:19But if people insist on giving him a bad name,

05:21he might be prodded into it.

05:23That's what I'm worried about.

05:25Why can't he stay with us a while?

05:27He might not want to.

05:29Well, I think he would.

05:30Anyway, can I ask him?

05:32Don't see why not.

05:34Gee, thanks, Uncle Sandy.

05:43There sure are a lot of chores around the ranch.

05:47Say, how about you staying here and helping me with mine?

05:51Listen, Ricky.

05:53If you're feeling sorry for me, forget it.

05:55I don't need anybody's charity.

05:57But who said anything about charity?

05:59Uncle Sandy believes in every man earning his own keep.

06:02Even me.

06:04I work for what I get.

06:06Sure, just like you already are.

06:08This is me.

06:09I work for what I get.

06:11Sure, just like you already started with the dishes.

06:14Come on.

06:15Let's finish him up.

06:38We're sure, but when we get the new ones they'll improve the herd, and our ranch will be one

06:44of the best in the state.

06:46That's why Uncle Sandy's drawing the $5,000 out of the bank.

06:50$5,000?

06:51Yeah.

06:52Ready?

06:53All set.

06:54Anything you want us to bring you from town, Les?

06:59Nothing that I can think of, thanks.

07:02Say, wait a minute.

07:04Where's Zybil?

07:05I think he went out to see Champion.

07:06I'll look around for him.

07:07All right.

07:08Well, it wasn't very wise of you, Ricky, to tell Les about our getting that money.

07:13It wasn't?

07:14But you trust Les, don't you, Uncle Sandy?

07:16Yeah, but it's a good policy to keep a tight lip where money is concerned with anybody.

07:21I'll remember that.

07:37I don't see to be nobody around.

07:49Maybe we'd better keep moving, Duke.

07:52I want your advice, I'll ask for it.

07:54A kid of yours happens to be on the ranch, he can rustle us up some grub, and grub's

07:57just what we need.

07:58Pa!

08:03Les, you're sure looking fine.

08:13This is, uh, Duke.

08:14Howdy, boy.

08:15Your dad and me heard you was here, we figured we'd drop by for a visit.

08:19But, Pa, you did parole?

08:21Parole?

08:22Yeah, I guess, uh, I sort of paroled him just like I paroled myself.

08:27Even if he did want to serve his time.

08:29Enough questions, old boy.

08:31Tell me, uh, you alone around here?

08:35Yeah.

08:36Good.

08:37In that case, you can fix us some grub, huh?

08:40Well, go on, boy, move.

09:06Forty-five slugs.

09:07Yeah, you can sure use these.

09:10Any money around the place, boy?

09:12Anything else worth taking?

09:13Ain't nothing you'd want.

09:16I think you're lying.

09:17Leave him alone, Duke.

09:20Where's the fella who owns this spread, this, uh, Sandy North?

09:23Went to see Mr. Jessup.

09:25Jessup?

09:28Ain't that the name we seen on the bank window, Jessup?

09:30It's another Jessup.

09:31The horse doctor.

09:32To get some liniment.

09:33He and his nephew, Ricky.

09:34A ride, I suppose.

09:36Good luck, boy.

09:38Frank, I figure it's time for us to mosey.

09:41I wouldn't try anything if I were you.

09:43Mr. North shoots mighty straight.

09:45Boy, I shoot pretty straight myself, and I make a habit of shooting first.

09:48Don't you worry, though.

09:50Nothing's gonna happen.

09:51I figure daytime holdups are too risky.

09:55Come on.

10:25Hey.

10:39Man and a kid and a buckboard.

10:40That must be them.

10:43There won't be nothing to it.

10:56Hang on, Ricky.

10:57Ha!

11:26Ha!

11:27Ha!

11:57Ha!

11:58Ha!

12:04Ha!

12:09Aren't you gonna fight for the money, Uncle Sandy?

12:12The risk of you getting shot?

12:13All the money in the world isn't worth that, Ricky.

12:20All right.

12:21All right, let's have a look, see what's in that bag.

12:25Hurry up.

12:30Yeah, some horse, Lindeman, huh, Frank?

12:40Tim, rib him, come on!

12:44Let's get out of here, Tim.

12:46Come on.

12:51Go get him, Tim!

13:21Come on, let's get him out of there.

13:24Come on, let's get him out of there.

13:30Here he is.

13:35Get him out, get him out.

13:40Hang him, don't let him go.

13:49There he is.

13:51You better call Rebel and Champ before they get shot, and you wait here.

14:02Champ, Rebel!

14:03Come here!

14:05Champ!

14:06Rebel!

14:07Come here!

14:34Lance!

14:58Look, Lance!

15:16Stay right where you are and put your hands up!

15:22Hey, Ricky, look!

15:27Lance, go open that shed door.

15:30Ricky, take the money up to the house and put it in the safe.

15:34Come on, Lance.

15:35Ricky, these two roundhands will be safe in the shed.

15:38I'm going in town to get the sheriff.

15:39All right.

15:40We'll keep an eye on them.

15:41They can't get out, besides, you've got Rebel.

15:43Thanks again, Lance.

15:46Go ahead.

15:47Move, you two.

15:48In there.

16:16You're a big help.

16:17I should have left you in jail and taken a chance on your squealing.

16:20And when I saw you up there on those rocks, gee, I almost didn't believe my eyes.

16:29I just couldn't let your uncle lose that money.

16:33It sure took a lot of gumption to do it, too, John Bass.

16:36Well, what's the matter?

16:42Don't you feel good?

16:44All that running, I guess.

16:46But I'll be all right.

16:47Good.

16:58Gee, just wait till I tell the kids at school.

17:01In the back, sir.

17:03Just assume you forget it.

17:07Sure is something wrong with you, miss.

17:10Time to water the stock.

17:11And it's my turn.

17:12I'll do it.

17:13You rest up a while.

17:14Come on, Rebel.

17:24Pa?

17:27Yeah?

17:28I'm sorry, right sorry for the fix you're in.

17:31But I just had to do what I did.

17:34That's all right, son.

17:36It ain't all right.

17:38Listen, boy, you know what's going to happen to your dad now?

17:42He's going back to prison for the rest of his life.

17:44No!

17:45Yeah.

17:46Most of the time, he'll be in solitary with nothing but bread and water to live on.

17:49He won't last long, even bet on that.

17:51And you'll have a hand in the blame.

17:53No, don't say that!

17:55Now, listen, boy, listen close.

17:57You want your dad to live, you better cut us loose.

17:59Let us out of here right away.

18:00If you do, I promise we'll never come back.

18:04That's right, son.

18:06Will you promise to leave right away?

18:08Sure, I promise.

18:09Just cut us loose.

18:15Ah, good boy.

18:17As soon as you get us cut loose, we'll high-tail it out of here.

18:21Hurry up, boy.

18:23This is not going to be easy.

18:24Come on.

18:26There.

18:28Yeah, that's better.

18:30Now, where's that safe?

18:31But you promised that!

18:32I don't care what I promised.

18:34You show me that safe or your dad's going to get hurt real bad.

18:37All right.

18:47I'd better make sure Ricky and the dog ain't in there.

18:58Open it, son!

18:59Open it or I'll break it down!

19:04Let's try the front door.

19:24From your description, Sandy, there's no doubt about it.

19:27Frank's the boy's father.

19:29He and Duke broke prison a week ago.

19:31But that doesn't prove that less let them out and opened up the safe.

19:35The door bar couldn't be touched from inside the shed, Ricky.

19:38What's more, he knew where the key to the safe was hidden.

19:41Then why would he do such a thing after saving the money?

19:45That's what puzzles me, Ricky.

19:46I just can't understand it.

19:48Well, blood's thicker than water.

19:50Could be Frank talked the boy into it.

19:52No, sir.

19:53There's got to be a different reason.

19:55There's just got to be.

19:59Ricky sure sticks by his friends, Sandy.

20:01Yeah, he sure does.

20:02Well, how about mounting up and coming on the posse with me?

20:05We've got to find them buzzards.

20:06Be right with you, Sheriff.

20:14Les wouldn't do a thing like that.

20:16Not unless he had a good reason.

20:19Look!

20:21I wonder where they could have gone.

20:24Tracks, Rebel.

20:25They must have left tracks.

20:27Come on.

20:43Look, Rebel.

20:44They're tracks.

20:46We'll get a chance at them.

20:47Come on.

21:16What is it, Rebel?

21:17You see them?

21:26Let's go, Jim.

21:53What's he doing?

21:54Where's that money?

21:55Come on and talk.

21:56Leave him alone, dude.

22:05You better talk to me.

22:10Get him, Rebel.

22:15Jim, don't let him get away.

22:32Just bushed, I guess.

22:34Ricky, I threw their money out.

22:36I'll be all right, son.

22:38Don't you worry about me.

22:39I'm glad, Dad.

22:41I buried it.

23:01Here.

23:09Get away.

23:15Pull him up.

23:18Wake him up.

23:19Pull him up.

23:20You're over your head.

23:24Pull him!

23:25Jim!

23:26Rebel!

23:27Watch him!

23:28Keep him there!

23:36It's Uncle Sandy and the Sheriff.

23:51I didn't want Pa to get hurt.

23:53And couldn't let Duke get his hands on the money.

23:56So I grabbed the satchel and ran for it.

23:59But Duke spotted me and, well, you know the rest.

24:02So you see, Sheriff,

24:04I told you there had to be a different reason.

24:06You did it, Dad, Ricky.

24:08And I'm apologizing, son.

24:10It's time we left, Parker.

24:12I sure thank you for looking after my son, Mr. North.

24:15You got a fine boy, Parker.

24:16You can be proud of him.

24:17I am.

24:20I ain't been much of a father to you, Les.

24:22But when I get out, and if you're willing,

24:25I'll do my best to make a home for you.

24:27But you're like that, Pa.

24:29You'll most likely find him over at my place, Parker.

24:32I've got plenty of room for a boy like you, Les.

24:34Let's go.

24:35Let's go.

24:37Let's go.

25:03Oh, but you had your apple this morning, champ.

25:06And you had your bone.

25:09Oh, well, I guess both of you deserve a reward.

25:13I'll get them, Ricky.

25:22Champion, the Wonder Horse.

25:25Champion, the Wonder Horse.

25:32Like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.

25:35Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow.

25:39Like a mighty cannonball, he seems to fly.

25:43You'll hear about him everywhere you go.

25:46The time will come when everyone will know the name of Champion,

25:51the Wonder Horse.

25:53Champion, the Wonder Horse.
