What's the story, Wishbone?Do you
think it's worth the look?
Kinda seems familiar Like the
story from the book
Shake a leg now, Wishbone Let's
wag another tail
Sniff it out, adventure With
Wishbone on the trip Come on,
Wishbone
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's the story Wishbone?
What's the story Wishbone?What's the
story Wishbone?
Wishbone?
Wishbone?
Wishbone?Oh, I
found him! What did I tell you?I was in
the backyard the whole time. It's OK,
Wishbone. Come on. HuhWe're going to go
for a ride in the car. Oh, a ride in the
car. OK, have fun. Wait a minute. Did you
say a ride in the car?Oh, boy. I
love car rides. Road trip!
We're going for a ride in the car uh-huh
We're going for a ride in the car uh-huh
We're going for a ride in the car!
I'll do the cooking, honey I'll pay the
rent You know you dare me
Oh, Wanda, can you do me a favor?Sure,
Ellen.
What do you need?Oh, thanks, Wanda. If we
wait any longer, we're gonna be late.
Yeah, Wanda, if we wait any longer, we're
gonna be late! Late for what, Ellen?Late
for what, Ellen?Calling for an
appointment at the VET. The vet!
Oh, no. Is Wishbone OK?
Oh, yeah. It's just his regular checkup.
Oh, no, no, noNoI don't think I could go
to the vet, Ellen. I feel sick. Wait a
minute. What am I saying?I'm really
sorry, Wanda. It's just that we're
already running late and I still have to
stop for gas and... Thanks.
Ellen! Wanda! Say something. Stall for
time. Oh, there's a house key underneath
the mat. Thanks.
Ellen! Wanda!Say something else.
What?Oh, well, could you let the
upholster in when he gets here?The
chair's all set to go. Okay. And now so
am I. See ya. Monday, help me.
Oh, Ellen, how could you do this?I
thought you were my friend, but you're
acting like an enemy. This is so
confusing. Just like the
Wars of the Roses, Robert
Louis Stevenson used this waras the
backdrop for his novel, The Black Arrow,
published in 1888. The
story is set in 15th century England,
when the two royal houses of York and
Lancaster were at w*r.
In these troubled times, many found it
difficult to know who was trustworthy and
who wasn't.
Young Richard Shelton, the hero of our
story, had lost his father and came under
the care of a man named Sir Daniel.
Richard's new guardian switched sides in
the w*r as often as a chameleon changes
colour. Was he to be trusted?
One group of people claimed to know his
true colours, the Order of the Black
Arrow. Sir Daniel had
turned them out of their homes and had
stolen their land, so they banded
together and were determined to make Sir
Daniel pay for his treachery.
I had four black arrows under my belt.
For for the griefs that I have felt.
Richard Shelton, did you read this penny
rhyme?Yes, a bit of dog rule it is.
That's nonsense verse, by the way. The
most fun form of poetry, don't you think?
Fun. Not when some mad soul accuses
me of m*rder. The m*rder of your father,
to be precise. We suspect
Duckworth, that black arrow outlaw.
This is a little confusing. It says here,
ye shall each have your own part, a black
arrow in each black heart. You accuse
them, and yet they're accusing you. As
your guardian, Richard, I will myself
more fully inform you of these matters
someday. Hmm, someday.
It's hard not knowing who to trust, but
Richard Shelton was about to meet someone
who would change his life.
You there! Have no fear. I will do all I
can to help thee. Good boy.
Thank you. Why call me boy as if I were a
dog?You are not the elder of us.
Biddy forgive me, but I do seek your aid.
Then throw me the rope.
You call that a throw?May my grandmother
could throw farther. What is your name?
Where are you going?Well,
do you bog yourself down often, or is
this the first time?Oh, since you
have things under control here. Please
help. If I come not to Holywood, I shall
be undone. If you throw not the rope, you
shall be undone.
That's more like it.
You saved my life.
I'm called John Matcham.
I'm Richard Shelton. I can show you the
way to Holywood. I thank you,
Richard Shelton.
What age are you?16?I
am 18. You're poorly grown to height
then. And you have a girlish hand, John.
Why are you bound for Holywood of all
places?Isn't that a convent?I
seek sanctuary from a man who would
oppress me. Sir Daniel.
He has kidnapped me and dressed me in
these weeds. Sir Daniel. Sir Daniel is a
valiant knight. If he knew I meddled in
your flight, it would go sore with me.
I'm his ward. Poor boy. I too am
now his ward. He has money to gain by my
marriage. I'll show him
I'm not a bubble to be sold. You
dare to call me boy again?They
found my flight. I shall be taken,
Richard. Kind Richard. Help me. Come,
pick up your nerves, sir, white face.
Let's go see who it is before we call
them enemy.
Come on in. She didn't really tell me
which chair. Did she tell you which chair
she was talking about?It could be that
one, but I'm not really sure if that...
Well...
Well, that's a terrible place for that
chair someone could get hurt.
That must be the one.
They let the dog sleep in that one.
Oh, I just hate going to the V-E-T. I
better get an S-H-O-P.
Whoa, did you see the size of that rat?
Joe, did you see that?Joe?
Oh, hi, Bruno. Chewed up any good
minivans lately?
Is that... My chair! That's my chair!
Joe! Joe, they've got my chair! Joe!
Take it easy, Wishbone. It's just a
checkup. Take it easy! Ellen!
Ellen! Ellen! My chair!
Bruno has my chair! Ellen, put the
squeegee down! Ellen! Oh, I can't
believe this! Bail out!
Don't worry, my wonderful chair! I'm
coming!
Look, two Sir Daniel's men. These are
friends. Wait. These are the men that
hunt me to my ruin. You can't trust them.
What?
It's the men of the Black Arrow.
I must go help my friend. Are you
bound to die?If I cannot help them, then
yes, I will stand shot with them.
Hey, that's my dagger. Give that back.
Stop! You are an untrue companion, John
Matcham. You would see all those men die,
men I have hunted with and played among
them. What if Sir Daniel, would you run
to defend a m*rder*r?Rumors say Sir
Daniel slew your father. My father would
have me defend my men. If Sir Daniel slew
him, when the hour comes, my hand will
slay Sir Daniel. Until then, I am bound
by honor to stand with my friends. If
you are bound to stand, then I will stand
with you. Well, all right then.
Thank you. Uh, I
see you've captured the fugitive.
Fugitive. Come. We must leave
here at once.
Indeed. I have some questions for my
guardian, said Daniel.
Gotta find my chair. Gotta find my chair.
Chair. Where's my chair?Got to find my
chair. I got. Oh, escargot.
Chewie. Gotta find my chair.
Aha! This tire track has Bruno written
all over it. When I find him, I'm
gonna... Ew, it's the big
rat again! What kind
of weird rat behavior is it, anyway?Hey,
too much sugar in your diet?
Great. Bruno's stolen my chair, and now
Oakdale's been invaded by mutant rats!
Oh, where's the fire, Talbot?Cool. fire.
My dad's a fireman. Your dad's an
accountant, Jimmy. Uh, he used to be a
fireman before I moved here. You know,
all those forest fires in Yellowstone.
Whatever. What's up?Wishbone took off. I
need to find him or we'll be late for the
vet. I have a dog too.
That's nice, Jimmy. Wishbone! I'm
good at hunting. My dad taught me. He's a
hunter. I thought your dad
was an accountant. Uh..
Yeah, that too. He hunted big game in
Africa. You know, tigers and elephants.
Wishbone! It's ill*gal to
hunt elephants. Uh..
well, that's where he had to stop.
Wishbone! My dog's a tracker.
Maybe he can help find Wishbone. He's big
and smart, and he has a good nose.
He's ten times the size of Wishbone.
Running! Running! Running!
Wishbone! Wishbone!
Sneaking, sneaking quietly, trying not to
make too much noise. He's
really big. His name's Cingis Khan, and
he's related to Lassie. Wishbone! Quite
that. I'm serious, he's
really big. Wait till you'll see him.
Chair!
It's definitely my favorite perch, all
right!Hey, wait, come back!
Here we go again.
This order of the Black Arrow.
I burnt their homes, driven them from
this country and still. They
returned to ruin me and you.
Let's see how far you run with that
drawbridge raised.
Get out of my sight.
Good men have lost their lives because of
your disobedience.
Sir, my father fell when I was yet a
child. Again it is come to my
ears that he was foully done by, and
again that you had a hand in his death.
Come to me with these words when you are
grown and I am no longer your
guardian. Until then, you
have two choices. Either
swallow down these insults, or
else leave my protection. The woods
are full of my enemies. Go.
I will stay. You have stirred my wrath,
Richard children. Return to
your quarters until I send for you.
I'm utterly confused. Is my enemy here in
the Moat House or outside its walls?
Who is it?Richard, it is I,
John. This house is full
of spies. I have heard them whisper. Sir
Daniel intends to k*ll you just as he
k*lled your father. It would seem that
you are the only friend I have, John
Matcham. Swift Richard, you must escape.
We'll climb down the wall. I
know you're in there, Joanna. Why?
You're not a John. You're a Joanna.
Come, I'll lower you down the wall. They
plan to k*ll you, not me. Richard,
open the door, man. Joanna,
you have saved my life and I have saved
yours. We have seen blood flow and then
friends and enemies. And if I'm about to
die, I must say this. You are the
best maid in the bravest under heaven.
And if I live, I will marry you.
I will be back, Joanna.
Get him! Now!
Joanna.
HmmOK, time for the
diplomatic approach.
Excuse me, Sir, but you and your dog
have something that belongs to me. And I
was wondering if we could just talk
about. Hey, hey, wait a minute.
I don't like enclosed spaces! Hey!
Oh, I can't believe that! Ellen, can we
help a guy out?Wishbone, how did you ever
get in here?We have to go the-- I'm
never gonna find my chair.
Come on, Wishbone. It won't be that bad.
Joe, I can't stay!
I'm so sorry we're late. Oh, we're
accustomed to resistant patients. Joe, my
chair.
Oh, could you have your mother fill this
out, please?Joe,
I really have a reason for not wanting to
be here this time. I promise. Dad and I
tracked her out of wolf once. He was
floaming at the mouth and his eyes were
wild. He was so mad.
It's OK. You like Dr. Dart, remember?
That's not the issue. I love my red
chair. Stay, Wishbone. Ohh
I shouldn't be here. This is just like
what happened to Richard Shelton.
When Richard awoke, he found himself in a
strange place. HuhWhat am I?
The Order of the Black Arrow.
This must be their camp.
Ellis Duckworth.
Have I been captured?Dear
lad, you were in a friend's hands that
loved your father and loves you for his
sake. Come, tell me your story.
The leap from the Moat House wall must
have injured me. I believe I fainted
and then I woke here. So it's true,
Sir Daniel k*lled my father. Join me in
the next attack. Between you and me, we
shall bring that false hearted traitor to
his death. My heart aches for Joanna.
We'll rescue Joanna as soon as we've
gotten our revenge. Nay, as much as I
miss my father and dislike his m*rder*r,
Joanna is more important to me than
revenge. I wish you luck, EllisDuckworth.
The Wars of the Roses had reached the
Moat House by the time Richard arrived.
Whoops. Hello.
Oh, hi there. Uh ohAre
you not Richard Shelton, Sir Daniel's
ward?Maybe. Men call
me Lord Foxton. I am Joanna
Sedley's guardian. I am
trying to free her from Sir Daniel.
Then, my lord, you are true guardian to
the sweetest maid in England. You wear
your heart on your sleeve, my lad. I pray
you, my lord, yield me the hand of Joanna
Sedley, and you will have my gratitude in
service until I die. All right, good
Richard. Come fight by my side, and upon
my knightly honor, Joanna shall marry
you. I am in your debt, my lord.
I am not nervous. I am not nervous. I am
not nervous. I'm a little
nervous. It's okay, Wishbone.
Well, hello, Wishbone. How are you today?
Perfectly healthy, thank you. What's
he got, the needle?Ohh All right, big
fella. We're going to listen to your
heartbeat. OK, I just-- whoa! Hey, you
think you could warm that thing up first,
doc?Yikes. What's
that?
What's he-- hey, heyLook,
I'm sure there's a lot of interesting
stuff going on in there, doc, but there
is the small matter of my chair.
Sears look good. Looks like all he needs
is his yearly shock. He really doesn't
like this part. I really hate this part.
The needle. Oh, look, isn't there
some way we can avoid this? I I promise I
won't go near anyone who has rabies. I
know I'll never go outside ever again.
Just please don't give me a shot.
There. Not one flinch. See, that
wasn't that bad. Huh? You already did
the... See you next year, Wishbone.
Wow, I didn't feel a thing. I really
didn't. I'm no longer Wishbone.
I'm Superbone, Dog of Steel.
Well, I'd love to stay in chat, Doc, but
Superbone is off to fight for truth,
justice, and his big red chair.
Inside Sir Daniel's Moat House, the
battle to rescue Joanna was underway.
That's it, men! We have the upper hand!
Uh-oh. Time to even the odds a littlebit.
Oh, dizzy. Joanna!
Watch out! Hey, Smiley, you want to play
too?
Richard. Joanna, Lord Froxham has the
battle won. Let's leave this place.
Oh, Richard, here we are together once
again. Joanna, let's go
directly to Hollywood. There we shall be
wed, whether poor or wealthy, famous or
unknown. What matters is it? Richard, my
dear. Ah, it's just
you and me and that peasant over there.
Wait a minute.
That's no peasant.
You come no closer.
Well, Richard,
do you make w*r upon the fallen? You
k*lled my father, and that cannot be
forgotten. But I won't hurt you.
I'll be neither judge nor hangman. I do
carry arms for your enemies. And I will
suffer no spy within their lines.
Go now, before I call out to the nearest
post.
Is the arrow
black? It is black.
Richard, you took
the better part and pardoned.
I took the worse, and there lies the clay
of my enemy.
Pray for me, Sir, I will pray for you
indeed. But if you have so long pursued
revenge and find it now of such a sorry
flavour, would you not do well to pardon
others? Anger still lives
strong within me.
But be at rest.
The black arrow flies never more. The
fellowship is broken.
They that still live shall come to their
quiet and ripe end.
Well, that didn't take long, Wishbone.
Thank you, Mrs. Talbot. I'll get my
backpack. My dog's not afraid of
anything. He's an attack dog. Come on,
Joe. What time's the rest of my chair?
We're trying to break into our house and
we want to steal all of our priceless
jewel. And my dog chase away.
Hi, Mrs. Kidd. Mom?
Hi, Dinky.
That's your dog? That's no dog. It's one
of the giant mutant rats. Jimmy, I can't
believe your mom caught it. Tell her to
be careful. He may have friends. Bruno!
If he's here, my chair's here. Come on,
Joe!
Mom? Is that our chair? Of course it's
my chair. I'm gonna put a big sign on
this thing. Do not ever take Wishbone's
big red chair. I guess Wanda sent the
wrong one. I'm so sorry, Wishbone.
Sorry, Wishbone. Don't worry, we'll get
this mix-up straightened out. From now
on, this chair is off-limits to all big,
mean Dobermans, and little bug-eyed
mutant rats, and cats,
and anything else on four legs that's not
me doesn't go on this chair, ever.
Robert Louis Stevenson's book, The Black
Arrow, is action-packed. And that
took a pack of dogs. Just like
human actors, I have stunt doubles who
bound into action with their special
skills. Here's Phoebe.
She's an expert swimmer.
Bear is eager to jump into any task,
scale new heights, and leap for a good
cause.
Slugger springs into action for a battle
scene, and Shiner is kind
of a ham. So he sits in for me when I'm
filming on another set. I
couldn't do the show without my talented
stuck doubles. And I still add my own
best tricks, like rescuing someone from
the bog.
After all, I am the stuck. See ya!
