00:00I doubt that there's a red-blooded American boy who hasn't at one time or
00:06other said he'd like to have lived back in the days of the frontier. Now whether
00:12we would really do it, if we had a chance, is another matter. But at least we'd
00:17enjoy dreaming of a great part of our heritage, the Old West. Colorful,
00:22fantastic, sinister, deadly. All of this was part of the good old days. In our
00:29story today, I'm going to take you back partway to the days of the frontier. Well
00:34we have a man living near Knotty Pine that's as much a part of those
00:37adventurous times as Buffalo Bill or General Custer. Let's say we'd better get
00:44into our story. It's named Skinner Raises a Storm.
00:52There go twelve mules pulling two large wagons full of a special sand used by
01:02the mountain refining company to make a particular kind of glass. Twelve fine
01:07mules driven by their burly master Skinner McNeil. Skinner's a picture of
01:12the Old West. He's a medium-sized stocky man in his retiring years. His clothes
01:17are typical mule Skinner duds, and he wears big hobnail boots so he can
01:22anchor himself on the wood footrest of the lead wagon to drive his beloved
01:27mules. Let's join Skinner as he pulls up to the unloading chutes at the refinery.
01:34Hey Skinner, the boss wants to see you. Okay Barney, after I get the mules bedded down for the night.
01:52The boss wants to see you right now Skinner. Okay, okay, keep a hold of your
01:56suspenders. What's he want? I don't know. What's all this being fired up and
02:03hurry about? I'll go see him. Watch my mules, will you? Sure, they ain't going no place
02:10after the work they done all day. You talk like an Injun, too long in the sun.
02:15Them critters of mine are just getting warmed up, that their perspiration is
02:20just like oil to them fellows, makes them work better. You better stop jawing and
02:23go see the boss. Okay, okay.
02:34You got something to say to me, Al? Yes, Skinner. I'm a-waitin'. Skinner, you see these figures here on this
02:43sheet of paper? Sure, I ain't blind. You know what they mean? Me? You know I ain't had much
02:50learning. All I can do with money is count it. These figures mean that the mules
02:56gotta go. What? You heard me, Skinner. The mules are through right now. Well, I'll be
03:02a cross-eyed sidewinder. You mean to tell me you're gonna fire my mules just like
03:07that? Yep. Unhitch them, bed them down for the night. I've got a man coming to buy
03:11them in the morning. You ain't gonna do no such thing, boss. Them's my mules, too.
03:15You paid for them, and I've driven them for now on to 15 years. Your dad gave me
03:20his word that I'd ever say so when time-time came to stop using them. I've
03:25heard about polecats like you, but Skinner McNeil never thought he worked
03:29for one. Why, every load of sand has their sweat and muscle in it. They work for
03:34your heart and never said a bitter word. This is like sneaking up on them and
03:38scalping them. Are you finished? What are you gonna haul sand with? Buckets? Two
03:47diesel trucks. I don't see anything funny. Those two trucks will be less
03:52expensive than the mules by far. Yeah, well, let me tell you something. The mules haul
03:57sand for your dad when you was knee-high to a fence post. He made money.
04:00You've got a lot to learn, boss. Too bad your dad didn't live long enough to
04:06teach ya. Besides that, he gave me his word I could take care of these mules. He
04:10may have said that. Seems like he did, but it wasn't in writing. I'm the boss now,
04:15and I'm trying hard to respect your years of service, but don't push me too
04:19far. I'm ramrodding this outfit, and don't you forget it for one minute.
04:23I can't. You won't let me. I'll tell you another thing. Anybody who'd sell them
04:28critters after they worked so hard ain't human. Skinner, don't push me too far. I'm
04:32warning you. Ha! You ain't got what it takes to fire me, but you can fire poor
04:38helpless animals that have done fine for you. Why, your poor dad would turn over in
04:43his grave if he knew this. You're fired! Now get out! Men and mules are in the same
04:51class of bar mitzvahs as you're thinking. Well, you can't fire me, because I quit, and I'm
04:56taking the mules with me. Don't you dare touch those mules!
05:07Hi-ya! Get up in there! Brownie, hit that collar! Skinner, stop that wagon! So, now you got yourself a
05:17shootin' iron, eh? Well, that ain't gonna stop me, no how. You try to drive those mules, and I'll
05:21show you how this gun'll stop you. Eh, I ain't gonna let no young whelp like you
05:25sell my mules to the glue factory. Hey, hey! Stay away from that gun, or I'll give you more of the same.
05:29We'll see about that. You'll get what you should have had done to you a long time ago. You're gonna get the whippin' of your life.
05:40I'm not through with yous yet, Skinner. Come on, you long-eared bar mitzvah, get movin'! Hi-ya! Get up in there!
06:00Maybe I'm seeing things, but do you see what I see comin' down the street?
06:04You see plenty fine, Stumpy. There are twelve mules and two wagons coming down Main Street.
06:09That must be Skinner. What's he doin' in town this time of day? It's gettin' dark.
06:14It's Skinner, all right. Must be hot under the collar the way he's crackin' that blow-whip over the heads of his mules.
06:24Hey there, Skinner! This ain't Sunday afternoon! How come you took a ride this time of day?
06:30For good reason, Stumpy. I got fired from my job, and I took the mules with me.
06:35Well, them ain't your mules!
06:37Maybe they ain't, but I was gonna sell them to the glue factory, because they ain't gonna use mules no more.
06:42I mean, the critters got, heh, throwed out together.
06:46Huh? You don't say! You aren't jokin', are you, Skinner?
06:49No, Henry, I sure ain't.
06:51What you plan to do in town with mules?
06:53Put them up over the stable, that's what.
06:55What's hell gonna do about this?
06:57I don't know, and I don't care. First, he's gotta lick his wounds, and then he can try what he's a-mind of.
07:03What do you mean, he has to lick his wounds? You don't look like you've been in a fight.
07:08Well, hell threw down on me with a shootin' iron, so I took it out of his hands with my whip, and then gave him the tannin' of his life.
07:15With the whip?
07:16Why, sure.
07:17I don't think you should have done that, Skinner. You can get into a lot of trouble now.
07:21Ha! And here it comes, right now!
07:23Skinner, Skinner, don't you try to get near that whip, or I'll shoot your hands. You're under arrest.
07:27Eh, what for?
07:28Stealin' twelve mules and two wagons, assaultin' battery with a deadly weapon, and I have the warrant right here in my pocket, so don't start nothin' funny.
07:35I've handled tougher mules, Skinner, than you're the likes of you.
07:38Uh, what about my mules?
07:41Well, I'll go along with you over to the stables, and then take you in.
07:44Climb aboard and let's get goin'. Ben, leave that whip alone.
07:47Climb aboard the wagon, fellas. We'll see what this is all about.
07:54So, you couldn't take the beatin' you had comin' like a man, eh?
08:03Be sorry you used your whip on me.
08:05Why, you ornery polecat.
08:07Pat, you know what he told me?
08:10Said two of them there trunks do more haulin' than my mules.
08:13And he's just going to throw us all out after we worked hard all these years.
08:17Any man that would treat mules the way he's goin' to, ain't he one?
08:21He sure ought to be tarred and feathered and rid of a ton on a rail.
08:25Sell him to the glue factory over my dead body.
08:30His dad gave me one.
08:32I didn't say we were going to take him to the glue factory.
08:35Who you tryin' to fool?
08:36Those mules are too old to sell as work critters.
08:39They got lots of work left in them, but nobody'd want to buy them at their age.
08:44Besides, they need to be well took care of.
08:46They got feelings, too, you know.
08:48Your dad said...
08:49Your dad said...
08:50Skinner, why don't you admit it?
08:52You're about ready for the glue factory yourself.
08:55Get him out of here before I tear him to pieces.
08:57Get him out of here!
08:58You better go, young fella.
08:59Be at the judge's chambers in the mornin'.
09:01He wants to have a pre-trial conference on this thing.
09:13Hal!
09:14Yes, Bill?
09:15Don't you think you're being a little harsh on the old fella?
09:18I don't see that it's any of your business.
09:20Hey, here, you young maverick!
09:22Don't go runnin' off with the mouth like a cheap faucet.
09:25Oh, it certainly is our business.
09:27I've known Skinner for many a year.
09:30Just don't kick old employees around like an old sack.
09:34Just for sellin' the mules to the butcher.
09:36Well, I ain't proud of what I think of you for that.
09:39I still say it's none of your business.
09:41I'm in business, and if somethin' isn't makin' money for me, out it goes.
09:45Mr. Skinner's right.
09:47You aren't human.
09:48Henry, watch your tongue.
09:49Not so hard, Bill. It's the truth.
09:51Why, you have Skinner arrested.
09:53You not able to talk to him?
09:55You ask him about that.
09:56I haven't got time to stand around and make idle talk.
09:59Boy, he sure is a cold cake of eyes.
10:02You said it, sonny.
10:03But one of these days, somebody's gonna thaw him out with a blowtorch.
10:18Pat, you're the arresting officer, I presume?
10:21Yes, Emil. I mean your honor, I am.
10:23Ah, did the defendant give you any trouble?
10:26No, sir, not in the least.
10:27He acted like a gentleman.
10:29Why didn't you try to resist arrest, Skinner?
10:31Why should I, Judge?
10:33He's a peace officer doin' his duty.
10:35Besides, I wasn't mad at him, no harm.
10:38Just at that miserable young pole can over there that had me thrown in without help.
10:42That'll be enough, Skinner.
10:43Skinner, your graphic description of Hale's personality is your own personal opinion,
10:47and has no bearing on the case.
10:49Yes, Judge.
10:50Now, what do you have to say to Hale's accusations?
10:54Huh? How's that?
10:55Hale charges you with stealing his mules and beating him with a bullwhip.
10:59Is that true?
11:00About stealing the mules, I'm not so sure, Judge.
11:04But whipping him, yes, sir, within an inch of his life, just like I promised.
11:08Why don't you think he's right in charging you with stealing the mules?
11:11Well, first of all, his dad gave me his promise.
11:14I could stay with the mules even after they was too old.
11:17And second, because he wants to sell them to the butcher after all the years they've worked for him.
11:23Those long-eared critters are all I got.
11:26We've worked together for twelve years.
11:29I ain't about to let this money-hungry man do away with them just like they was old junk.
11:34I see.
11:35Hale, I have sat in these chambers for many years,
11:39and I have listened to many cases similar to this.
11:42It's my opinion that you provoked the attack upon yourself by inconsiderate action on your part.
11:48Evidently, there was a verbal agreement of some kind.
11:51You should have taken care to honor it.
11:53You riled Skinner beyond self-control until all he could think of was to stop you,
11:57and the only way he knew how,
11:59because you were going to destroy his beloved mules,
12:01who have so faithfully worked for him and you all these years.
12:05If the animals were sick, I'd agree that they'd be destroyed as the only humane thing to do.
12:10But to sell good animals to the butcher because you can't afford to keep them around isn't the answer, my dear fellow.
12:16That agreement wasn't in writing.
12:18I say the law says Skinner's to be punished for stealing what he doesn't own,
12:22and for assault with a deadly weapon.
12:25Since he's an expert with that bullwhip, it is a deadly weapon.
12:29Isn't that correct, your honor?
12:31Yes, the law distinctly states it as you've cited it.
12:34Well, then I don't see what the delay is, your honor.
12:37Send the man to jail, and I'll be off with my stolen property.
12:40Are you telling this court how to mete out justice?
12:43Well, no, sir. I...
12:45Well, but it seems to me that...
12:46Now let me tell you something for your own good, young man.
12:49We have judges just for cases like this.
12:52Skinner wasn't trying to steal the mules. He tried to protect them.
12:55Skinner was wrong in beating you,
12:57and you were equally wrong, or perhaps more so, for provoking him to such violent and hasty action.
13:03Skinner, I'm afraid that you're going to have to realize that trucks can do more work than mules.
13:09That ain't so, your honor, and you know it.
13:11How can you say things like that about mules?
13:14I know, Skinner. I've watched you work those mules,
13:17and it thrilled me to see the power and the strength they have.
13:21But they still can't beat trucks.
13:23And hell has a good business point.
13:26The mules cost more money for upkeep than the trucks, and they can't do as much work.
13:30That ain't true, judge, and I can prove it.
13:32All right. I'm going to give you the chance to prove it.
13:35And if you do, I'll reduce sentence on the charges.
13:38If you can't prove that your mules are better than trucks,
13:41then I'll have to pronounce the regular sentence.
13:45What do you say?
13:46Well, that's okay with me.
13:49And thank you for being so sensible.
13:52And what about the stealing charge, your honor?
13:54That we'll have to investigate.
13:56And if your father did make a promise of some sort, we'll have to consider it at the trial itself.
14:02But Skinner wouldn't have taken the mules if you hadn't told him they would come to harm.
14:06You know that.
14:07Well, I suppose I do.
14:09But regarding the charge of assault with a deadly weapon,
14:12you have to learn, Skinner, that you can't take the law into your own hands,
14:16no matter how angry you get.
14:18That's what we have judge and jury for.
14:21I can understand why you whipped hell, and I hold that he drove you to it.
14:25But I cannot allow you to be judge and jury, or we'd have chaos.
14:29Bill.
14:30Yes, your honor.
14:31Stumpy.
14:32Yes, judge.
14:33I'm appointing you two gentlemen as referees in this contest,
14:36and at a run for two weeks after the trucks arrive.
14:39Is that agreeable with you?
14:41Yes, Judge Wilson, it is.
14:43I'll be glad to do it.
14:44So will I, your honor.
14:46Skinner, you're free to go.
14:48And we'll meet here two weeks after the trucks arrive.
14:51Yes, judge, I'll be there.
14:53But where will I keep the mules now?
14:56Well, that's a good question.
14:59Well, will you allow Skinner to keep the mules in your company stable?
15:04Or will it be necessary for me to issue a court order
15:07putting the animals in temporary custody of the court and stable them here in town?
15:12Oh, it'll be all right with me to keep them in the company stables.
15:16Skinner, you jumped off a cliff.
15:29How so, Stumpy?
15:31Why, anybody knows that trucks can outwork your mules.
15:35Trucks don't get tired.
15:36I don't agree with that, Walrus.
15:39You don't know the road to the sand pits like I do.
15:42One of them smelly trucks is going to have it pretty rough.
15:46You've been with them mules here so long, you're just as stubborn as they are.
15:52How's about you fellows coming over to the stable with me?
15:55I want to show you my mules.
15:57Best long ears you ever saw.
15:59I'd like to go.
16:00Oh, me too.
16:01What are we waiting for?
16:02Aye, let's get them mules hitched up and going.
16:17That there is Big Jim.
16:19He's the finest mule in the West.
16:22Big Jim sure is fine looking.
16:24You must spend hours curing and rubbing him down.
16:27Yeah, I sure do, Henry.
16:29That's Big Jim.
16:30These are my boys, all of them.
16:32Boy, they sure look like a million dollars.
16:34I'll say they do.
16:36They're in the thinker condition all right.
16:38Anybody can see they've had good care.
16:40You know, I can walk right in next to any one of these big, long-eared rascals
16:44and they won't even try to kick or crowd me.
16:47Well, that tells me you handled them gently and they trust you.
16:50You ever hit them with a bullwhip?
16:52No, never have, Gray Wolf.
16:54Comes close, but never touches.
16:57Which one is the lead mule?
16:59Um, Sandy here.
17:01I team him with Dynamite, but Sandy's the boss of the whole team.
17:05They follow him like a hound dog at the report shop.
17:09Yep, Sandy keeps the ball rolling.
17:12He better hit the ball in this contest or you'll be up a tree.
17:17Don't worry about that, Stumpy.
17:19These mules will show the whole world what real power is.
17:27I'm telling you, Fred, this is going to be something to see.
17:37It sure sounds like it.
17:38Ought to make front page for the paper.
17:40Maybe you ought to sort of announce the time of the contest beforehand
17:44so folks can be there to give Skinner a send-off.
17:47That's a good idea.
17:48Don't you worry, old-timer.
17:50I'll give your old friend Skinner plenty of spread on the sheet.
17:53Thank you, Fred. I appreciate that.
17:55Don't mention it.
17:56You know, of course, that he doesn't stand a ghost of a chance against those two diesel trucks.
18:01Sure, I know he can't beat the trucks.
18:03But I'll tell you one thing.
18:05What's that?
18:06Them trucks are going to know they're in a fight.
18:08And I don't mean maybe.
18:09Well, how so?
18:10Have you ever seen Skinner and his mules hauling sand?
18:14No.
18:15Well, then you'd better be there with your glasses on, Sonny,
18:19because you're going to see something that will leave you a thrilling memory for years.
18:37I don't know when folks find out about this.
18:40A little bird must have told them.
18:42You ready, Skinner?
18:44Yep. Been ready for a long time.
18:46You understand the rules?
18:47Yep.
18:48All right, quiet down, folks.
18:52Now, men, the mules and the truck will start together.
18:56The first one to the road to the sand pits takes the lead.
18:59Are you ready, driver?
19:01Yeah, I'm ready.
19:02All set, Skinner?
19:03Yep.
19:04Hi-ya!
19:05Come on!
19:08Skinner's got the edge on the truck!
19:10Look at that mule go!
19:15Skinner's taking the lead!
19:17Yippee! First to the road!
19:19Hey, look! Skinner first to the road!
19:21How do I, Skinner?
19:23Yippee!
19:39Boy, look at that crowd!
19:42There must be several hundred people here.
19:44More than that, pal.
19:45Look down the road, all the way to the turn.
19:47Say, you're right, I didn't notice them.
19:49Look at the news photographers and the reporters running around here.
19:52Yeah, this big story, human interest.
19:54This put Hal's company on map.
19:56I'll say it will.
19:57Looks like the crowd's gonna stick around for the first load to come back.
20:02Here comes Skinner, and he's in the lead!
20:05Look at that mule's pull!
20:08Sort of makes my eyes water to watch them beautiful animals work so fine in a team.
20:13Hey, look at them, look at their colors!
20:15Every last one of them is pulling with all he's got!
20:18It's nice for sore eyes.
20:20Yeah, it's nice for sore eyes.
20:22It's nice for sore eyes.
20:24It's nice for sore eyes.
20:26It's nice for sore eyes.
20:28It's nice for sore eyes.
20:30It's nice for sore eyes.
20:31Cannot forget this for a long time.
20:33They're magnificent, all right.
20:35The tide will change when the unloading comes.
20:38Man, look at that teamwork, would you?
20:40Look at Skinner handle them!
20:42Hooray!
20:44Hooray!
20:45Hooray!
20:46Hooray!
20:47Hooray!
20:48Hooray!
20:49Hooray!
20:51Hooray!
20:52Hooray!
20:53Hooray!
20:54Hooray!
20:55Hooray!
20:56Hooray!
20:57Hooray!
20:58Hooray!
20:59Hooray!
21:00Hooray!
21:01Hooray!
21:02Hooray!
21:03Hooray!
21:04Hooray!
21:05Hooray!
21:06Well, Skinner looks pretty silly right now.
21:09That truck came up and dumped his load before Skinner had the mules unhitched so they could dump the wagons.
21:14Well, the truck will be almost to the pits by the time the mules get moving.
21:18I think this contest is a lot of foolishness.
21:20You do, huh?
21:21I sure do.
21:23And don't tell me Skinner didn't know it.
21:24know it. Well there isn't a drop of love or consideration in you. If there was
21:31you'd realize that Skinner's so fond of those mules that he'd never lose a
21:34contest as long as the animals did their best for him. A lot you know about
21:38business. You've got to be hard and tough to make a profit. That's where you're
21:42wrong. I have a hundred men under my command sometimes as many as a thousand
21:47or more when we're fighting a fire. Let me tell you that I wouldn't have held my
21:51job without showing love and consideration for my men. Yes I've got a
21:56sharp pencil to figure expenses and I have a budget to run my district on. But
22:01I learned one thing a long time ago. If I hit the ball for my men they'll more than
22:07pay me back and I can prove that. I don't know how you can get anybody to work for
22:13you when you look at them with dollar signs in your eyes. Again I say it's none
22:17of your affair how I run my business. That's true in some respect but you
22:22happen to be stepping on our toes right now by hurting one of the finest of the
22:25old-timers around here. You'd have so much business you wouldn't know what to
22:30do with it if you would mix in a strong helping of human understanding and
22:34sympathy. Do you know why the newspapers picked this up and so many people came
22:39here today? Just nosy I guess. Not on your life. They came here because they
22:44realized that Skinner's fighting for more than just to win the contest. He's
22:48fighting for decency and understanding that rightfully belongs to these men of
22:53the Old West. He's the fading light and courage of the Old West. He represents
22:58the passing of an era that's helped build this great country on democratic
23:02principles. Now he's fighting for all that the best way he knows how. And he's
23:06fighting to win. That's rich. He'll never win and you know it. He'll win this
23:12contest Al and he'll win it good. You must be nuts. Well you know he won't win.
23:17He can't beat the trucks. Nevertheless he's going to win. Well I guess I'm
23:21awful dumb. Suppose you tell me Mr. Genius how he's gonna win. Did you hear
23:27the crowd boo the truck when it came in? Yeah.
23:41Well Skinner the contest is over. Did you win? No but it ain't the mule's fault.
23:48They're good critters and they gave all they had. It's his fault. He wouldn't have won
23:54if it weren't for them smelly trucks. Them trucks you know don't get tired like
23:58my mules do. They're just noisy, smelly machines. You tell him Skinner. Another outburst like
24:04that Mr. Jenkins and I'll ask you to leave this chamber. I apologize your
24:08honor. Very well. Skinner I gave you your chance to escape punishment for the
24:13bull whipping you gave Hal. You lost the contest so now in the trial I've got to
24:19send you to jail for a while. Oh I agree to that judge. You can send me to jail.
24:24Just promise me that my mules will get well took care of while I'm in the
24:29calaboose. I'll take that under consideration. Your honor may I say a few
24:34words? Yes go right ahead. If if Skinner will apologize before the court I'll
24:41withdraw the charges. Maybe sending him to jail would be too harsh it since well
24:46I guess I did provoke him to do what he did. Oh I'd apologize but I'll do more
24:53than that. Me and the mules will make money for you. How do you figure that
24:56Skinner? Well did you notice all those people who came to see the mules? Yes.
25:00Well there's one of them hundred-year shindigs coming up pretty soon. Yeah the
25:06centennial. Well I figured I could fix the wagons up like it was fresh bought
25:10and polish the harnesses and drive them in the shindig. We could put a great big
25:15sign on them wagons showing the name Mountain Refining Company. I think it
25:21would sure make folks sit up and take notice of the company. Like that big
25:25crowd that was out to the contest. You mean we should use the mules and the
25:29wagons as a advertising and publicity stunt? Yep that's what I said. Of course
25:36Stumpy gave me the idea. Now Skinner you promised not to say that. I never gave
25:43that a thought. Yeah I think it's a good idea and it'd work fine. And Skinner I
25:49like the idea too. I think it's excellent. You're one of the last of the fighters
25:54of the old west. You don't know when you're licked and you keep on fighting
25:57just the same regardless of the odds and eventually you come out on top. That's
26:01the kind of spirit that built this country. I have a mind to dismiss this
26:05case and throw it out the door when it comes up for trial. Thank you Judge
26:10Wilson. You're a man after my own heart. You won't have to do that judge. I
26:15withdraw all charges. You know this worked out just as Bill told me it would.
26:21Oh? Then what did he tell you? Well he said Skinner would lose the contest but
26:26win the fight.
26:29And that's just what happened. Skinner and his mules became the trademark and
26:43traveling symbol of the Mountain Refining Company. Skinner raised quite a
26:47storm and after the storm blew over the Sun came out and it was a beautiful day.
26:53We'll see you next week for more adventure with Ranger Bill!
