Now stop!

Here, gentlemen.

It'll make you feel good,

like rain in the face.

That's what we need.

We could use some.

Buy a jug. That's all you do,

put your hand in your pocket.

You never come up with nothin'. Buy a jug!

What am I, the treasurer and

everything else? Go ahead.

Very refreshing, huh?

Oh, yeah.

What in the world

is this?

Where'd he go?

Over that way.

Oh, boy. That's a fine

trick you played on me.

I'll call it even if you'll tell me

what those people are talkin' about.

My tribe are saying the

man who shoots an arrow...

through the tent of an

eligible squaw must marry her.

I think it's

a very good law.

That law should be

all over the country.

You marry her. I don't wanna mar...

You gotta marry her. Not me.

You shot an arrow through

the heart of her tepee.

Therefore, you

must marry her.

I'll see ya later.

Come along! I don't wanna marry her.

I'm not gonna marry

no girl.

She might be beautiful. I don't

care. I'm not gonna marry her.

I wouldn't marry the most

beautiful girl in the world.

I can be wrong.

Hello.

I'm some marksman. I shot

my arrow through your tent.

No, I'm Sunbeam. Your

arrow pierced the tent...

of my sister, Moonbeam. Moonbeam? Sunbeam?

Hey, Duke,

must be twins.

Find out.

I think I will.

Moonbeam!

Yes,

sweetheart?

Will there ever be an end to

that? She called me sweetheart.

Don't worry,

little sister.

We'll have a

bow-and-arrow wedding.

A-tisket

a-tasket

A brown and

yellow basket

I send a letter

to my mommy

On the way

I dropped it

I dropped it

I dropped it

Yes, on the way

I dropped it

A little girlie

picked it up

And put it

in her pocket

She was truckin' on down

the avenue

With not a

single thing to do

She went a beg, beg, beggin'

all around

When she spied it

on the ground

She took it

She took it

My little

yellow basket

And if she doesn't

bring it back

I think

that I will die

Oh, gee

I wonder where

my basket can be

So do we, So do we

So do we

So do we

So do we

Oh, dear

I wish that little girl

I could see

So do we, So do we

So do we, So do we

So do we!

So do we!

Oh, why was I so careless

with that basket of mine

That itty-bitty basket

was a joy of mine

A-tisket

a-tasket

I lost

my yellow basket

Won't someone help me

find my basket

And make me happy again

again

- Was it red?

- No, no, no, no

- Was it green?

- No, no, no, no

- Was it cerise?

- No, no, no!

Just a little

yellow basket

A little yellow basket

What are you doing here? Somebody has to

look after you. This idea of yours is crazy.

Hey, boys.

Uh-oh.

You lookin' for me?

We're tryin' to find out where we

are. You're at the Lazy "S" Ranch.

Are you lookin' for work? Not if

I can find anything else to do.

Could you use

a couple of good men?

Did you ever

punch cattle?

I should say not.

I never hit animals.

He's only kidding. That

boy is a son of the West.

Oh, really? Reared on the prairie.

He had a saddle

for a cradle.

The moos of the cattle was

his lullaby. That's right!

Sure. Every time I hear moos I go to sleep.

You boys certainly have

a good sense of humor.

Hop over to the bunkhouse and get some

work clothes. I'll be in the office.

Thanks a lot.

We've got a job.

What are you waiting for?

Duke, I didn't know cowboys lived

in nice houses like this. Sure.

Look at the big

bathtub they got!

Never mind the tub.

Look at the girls in it.!

Oh, girls!

Woo!

How do you do? I'm Dotty

Davis, the ranch hostess.

Are you gentlemen taken

care of? Everything's dandy.

If I can do anything,

just whistle.

Let's grab ourselves a swim. Yeah.

Over here's bathing suits. Come on.

Did you take a shower?

Is there one missing?

Get your suit wet! Oh, get my suit wet.

Here you are.

What's that?

I got it wet. No! Dive in!

Get in the pool. Take

advantage of it. Okay.

How deep is it?

Up to my neck.

Okay, here I come.

Take it easy, kid.

I got ya.

Take it easy, girls.

I got ya.

Did I save ya?

Did I save ya?

Ha-ha-ha.

I saved the three...

Are you the guy that told

me it was up to my neck?

Yeah. What are you

gonna do about it?

Why...

You ever find the guy

that stole that shower?

Listen, these people

are all watching you.

Go up to that springboard.

They're expecting an exhibition.

Go ahead. He'll be

right up there, folks.

All right, folks.

Get up on the board and show

the folks how you can dive.

Go on. Don't push. I'm gonna get up.

Well, get up. I mean, after all...

Go ahead, get up.

Go out on the board.

Go ahead.

Champion.

Go ahead, Willoughby.

The folks are waiting.

Get up on the board. Wait a

minute! That's enough for me.

Stand still! Get up... Ooo!

Ooo, my head!

Hey, Duke, my head!

Never mind

your head.

Hey, Duke!

Get off my fingers!

Get me off here,

will ya?

You wanna break

that diving board?

Get me off,

will ya?

Willoughby,

get up.!

What's the matter

with you?

Is those pigeons

divin' off of me?

Duke! Duke!

What are you all standing

around for? He can't swim.!

Willoughby!

Get him out of there.

Willoughby,

this is Duke talking.

We'll get him.

Come on,

Willoughby.

Hey, Duke!

Are you all right?

Hey, Duke! Duke!

Come on, yes, yes.

I saw octopuses,

all kinds of fishes.

Why didn't you come up?

Nobody told me I had to.

Did I save all those lives? No.

Are them lives I saved? You're all right.

Oh, boy! Willoughby! There he goes again!

Hi, Jack.!

How are you?

Welcome home, Miss Anne.

Thank you. What can we do for you?

I hear you got Bronco Bob

Mitchell stayin' at your place.

That's right. What about it?

The boys'd like to meet him.

Maybe I can

arrange it.

Oh, Mr. Mitchell!

Here he comes.

Well, Bronco Bob himself.

Right proud to meet you.

Howdy, Bronco.

How do you do?

Me and the boys rode out

to thank you personal-like.

Thank me? Sure, for entering our rodeo,

big event of

the Frontier Days Celebration.

We're turning the receipts

over to a hospital for kids.

Having a celebrity like you

ought to double our take.

Did you enter in a rodeo? He sure did.

Got this telegram

a few hours ago.

"My old friend,

Bronco Bob Mitchell,

"wishes me to announce his entry

in the broncobusting event...

"of your

Frontier Days Rodeo.

Signed,

Martin Manning. "

Good ol' Manning,

always ahead of the news.

It's all

on the level?

We can count on you? Bob, wait. You...

It makes a difference in the

dough we take in for that hospital.

All right, boys,

you can count on me.

Swell, thanks.

Thanks a lot.

So long. See you later, Anne.

Broncobusting! You're beginning

to believe your own publicity.

So, you entered the rodeo and

decided to represent the Lazy "S."

Now isn't that wonderful! The fact

that it's going to keep our outfit...

from winning the team prize

doesn't matter.

I don't like myself as a phony any

more than you do. Then why be one?

All my life

I've tried to be a writer,

and all I got was a trunk

full of rejection slips...
