- (Train horn blowing)

- I'm ready now.

Take your time.

Oh, good heavens!

I've missed my train!

Well, I never saw

a better job of missing one.

Well, you might have warned me.

My throat's raw from warning you.

That's very strange. I'm not deaf.

Lady, I... I...

I should've warned you.

You most certainly should have.

I'm not a mind-reader, you know.

Why, there's Mr Gardner!

Well, ain't that unusual!

(Man) Why don't you get a horse?

Oh, hurry, Mr Gardner. That gusher ain't

gonna wait for nobody.

The hotel coach is pulling out.

Please don't bother about me.

- I can look out for myself.

- I don't know.

My granny always says,

next to eating with a sharp knife,

there's nothin' so risky

as a pretty girl looking out for herself.

Your granny and I don't agree!

Mr Gardner! Mr Gardner!

- Why, Kitten, what happened?

- The most terrible thing.

I was hurrying off your private car

when suddenly, without any warning,

the train pulled off and left me.

That's wonderful. Get in here.

I was hoping that would happen.

- What will I do?

- Just don't worry.

There'll be another train

in a few days.

Until then, you're going to school.

Your teacher's going to be

James E Gardner, PE.

- PE?

- Uh-huh.

Practical experience.

Twist her tail, Cherokee.

- Is it safe?

- Runs like a deer.

(Car backfires)

Noisy snorting gasoline monster!

Consarn your death-claimed

gasoline buggy!

Take her easy, Despirit!

There ain't nobody gonna...

Daniel.

Daniel Somers, you young coyote!

Hoist yourself up here!

- What are you doing back here?

- Hiya, Despirit.

I ain't seen you

since we turned that stagecoach over.

Where you been keeping yourself?

Well, Cuba and the Philippines.

Say, uh... what's going on

around here?

- You ain't gonna like it no more.

- No?

Cattle's gone, sheep's come in,

James E Gardner struck oil.

Get this thing

to the blacksmith's shop.

OK, boss.

And the lady's luggage in my car -

take it to the hotel.

Sorry, but if you folks are going into town,

better get another coach.

Now, just a min...

- Hi, Mr Gardner.

- I'm using this one.

This'll take care of you.

I'm sure you don't mind.

- Come along, Kitten.

- Thank you.

Regular lollapalooza.

Yep, sure got all his buttons on.

Despirit, straight to my oilfield,

and use the whip.

Har! Hup!

What are you aiming to do

around here, Daniel?

Remember that wild pinto

I was chasing for a couple of years?

Yep, but you got him.

It's a sorrel I'm after this time.

You're on your way

to a thrill you'll never forget.

I'm... l'm almost sure of that.

I'll stake my life on it.

Give me them reins. Hiyah!

Hey, Despirit! Take it easy!

Hiyah! Hiyah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Ethel Hill

Ethel Hill (April 6, 1898, Sacramento, California – May 17, 1954, Hollywood, California) was an American screenwriter and race horse owner.When Dore Schary first went to work for Columbia Pictures as a new screenwriter, he was paired with the veteran Hill to learn from her; together, they wrote the screenplay for Fury of the Jungle (1933). Hill was described by Marc Norman in his book What Happens Next: A History of American Screenwriting as "an extremely dear and generous woman [who] had an interest in horses and often wore jodhpurs and riding gear to the studio." Perhaps her best known film is The Little Princess (1939), starring Shirley Temple. Hill bought the Thoroughbred race horse War Knight, a son of Preakness winner High Quest, as a foal "with her $1500 life savings". He went on to win 10 of 28 starts, including the 1944 Arlington Handicap. He was injured in 1945 and did not win any of his five 1946 starts leading up to the $100,000 added Santa Anita Handicap, which he proceeded to win in a photo finish. He retired to stud afterward. more…
