Adventures of Gallant Bess (1948)

[bunniefuu]

TED [VOICEOVER]:

Wild, untamed, free.

The sky for their roof,

the earth for their floor.

These brave horses

of the wilderness

roam the land thrilling

in speed, proud in spirit,

strong in courage.

Like thieves in the night

waiting for their prey,

men come to conquer,

to steal the freedom

of these gallant animals.

Outstanding in the herd, with

less fear and more courage

than the others, was a beautiful

high-spirited red horse,

the most desirable

prize of them all.

She was the one we were after.

Well I wonder what Millerick

wants with a wild horse.

Don't worry about the boss.

Any time he's willing to

part with a couple of hundred

there's a reason.

You always have beautiful

thoughts about people,

don't you?

Millerick's got an

angle, I've got an angle,

you've got an angle, that's all.

Only Millerick's

got more angles.

Now take horses.

No angles.

They're honest,

they're faithful.

Some of my best

friends are horses.

[neigh]

[music playing]

She's a lot of horse.

Proud, pretty, spirit.

I think I'm gonna call her Bess.

Bess?

Yeah Bess.

I knew a little redhead

in Amarillo just like her.

They're back.

Well whata you know?

Well, I'm glad you're back.

So am I.

You can start breaking

the horse in the show

this afternoon.

Sorry Millerick,

[inaudible] in the show.

Since when do you [audio out]?

She's my horse.

You're getting paid for her.

I don't want that reward.

You found her on my time.

Right Bud, you don't

have to pay me for that.

Nor the three weeks you owe me.

For five days I fought with

her and I'm keeping her.

I'm not turning her over

to you to break or sell.

I don't like the way

you treat horses.

Oh you don't?

Maybe you think I outta

put carpets in the stalls?

Why you--

I won't sell anything.

Ever since Chesterfield, when

we were at the water hole,

I knew you were

going to do that.

Love at first sight.

What are you going to do now?

Where you going?

You can't just wonder.

She's gotta eat, and

you're gotta eat.

Don't worry, I'll

figure something out.

I'm Jim Moyer, foreman here,

anything I can do for you?

Thought you might

need an extra hand.

Well I might.

That your mare?

-Yeah.

She broke in yet?

No, not yet.

Well, I guess there's

always room for one more.

One thing I ask though,

hard work and no trouble.

And break that horse in

on your own time, huh?

Thanks.

Come on, I'll show

you where to bunk.

TED [VOICEOVER]: Training

horses was always easy for me.

And though I'd been around

them since I was a kid,

I'd never had an

animal like Bess.

[whistle]

Maybe it was wrong, I

didn't think so at the time,

but I started

teaching her tricks.

High school stuff, we call it.

Simple at first, like

shaking her head to say yes,

to stop and come to

me when I whistled.

Then more difficult tricks

like shaking her hind quarters

in rumba time.

No tricks were too

difficult. It was a big game.

And besides, Bess

was in love with me.

Daniels, I'm gonna

have to let you go.

The horse takes up

too much of your time.

Well baby, looks like

we're out of a job.

I can see you're gonna be

a lot of help to me, yeah.

Beat it.

All week long you've been

in a rush, all week long.

We're not heading

any place particular

and I don't care

when we get there.

[neigh]

OK boss.

Have it your way.

All right old girl, you pick it.

Just as long as you

don't back track.

TED [VOICEOVER]:

They say it doesn't

make any difference which

turn in the road you take.

We took the turn into

town and it made all

the difference in the world.

Hey don't give me that

baby, this was your idea.

Bourbon.

[SINGING] When I was a

bachelor I lived by myself,

I worked at the weaver's trade.

The only, only thing

I did that was wrong

was to woo a fair young maid.

I wooed her in the wintertime

and in the summer too,

and the only, only thing

I did that was wrong

was to keep her from

the foggy, foggy dew.

Ted!

Hello Woody.

Where'd you come from?

I just thought I'd

renew acquaintances.

Outfit looks the same,

maybe a little seedier.

Is this the same horse?

Are you, baby?

Tell me, where have you been?

What have you been doing?

What are you doing here?

Well, I thought I'd

pick up that prize money.

Uh oh.

Millerick ain't gonna like that.

I could use 250 bucks.

You know he always

tries to keep

the prize money in the show?

Oh that's too bad.

Still sign up for the

contest with Billy?

Yep.

I think I'll go see her.

See you later.

Come on, baby.

This contest open to all?

Sure is.

Ted Daniels!

How's the Lots of

Pretty Girls department?

Oh can't complain.

That isn't the wild horse?

Bess, I want you to meet Billy.

Tell me, do you think now

that I'm no longer an employee

the lady might go out with me?

With a horse like that a

man doesn't need etching.

Now Bess, let's show Billy

what you can really do, huh?

Let's see here.

That's fine, now rock it.

Come on, rock it.

Atta girl.

That's a girl.

Balance.

Steady Bess.

Hold it.

Balance.

Balance Bess.

That's a girl.

Take a bow, Bess.

Boy you really showed them.

Hey what's the matter?

What's wrong with him?

I don't know he

just keeled over.

It's probably nothing.

A man don't keel

over from nothing,

we gotta get him to a doctor.

Go ahead if you

wanna be a boy scout.

Don't take too long.

[moaning]

I hope Bess isn't in the way,

she won't cause any trouble.

It's all right, dad'll

take care of you.

What's the damage doctor?

You have a multiple

fracture of the leg.

Fix it up doc, I'm

a guy that needs

two good legs to make a living.

Where's Ted?

Woody took him to a doctor.

He hurt bad?

I don't think so.

How did he make her

walk up this plank?

Why didn't you ask him?

Come on.

Come on get on this board.

Back, back.

Get in here.

You knot head.

Come on!

Get in here.

[neigh]

Get up, get up.

Come on, get in there.

[neigh]

[crash]

Sounds like you got a riot

on your hands, sheriff.

[neigh]

Here, I'll take care of this.

Easy girl, easy.

That's it.

That's a girl.

Whose horse is this?

I don't know.

Hey, this is my car.

How about the damages?

I'll hold the

horse for security.

Send your bills

down to my office.

Take her down to the stables.

Come on, come on girl.

Well so you're finally awake.

He's coming along fine.

How do you feel?

My leg feels funny,

I can hardly move it.

Oh you'll get used to that.

You're in a cast from

your knee to your ankle.

Cast?

How long is that gonna last?

Oh about 10 days.

Then you can be moved

outta here in a wheelchair.

Wheelchair?

Moved?

Where?

Well you have a family

or some relatives

that can take care of you.

Not a one.

Well you can't stay here,

we're both overworked as it is.

Oh dad I think we might

be able to manage it.

[ring]

Has Bess been any trouble?

I meant to ask you about that.

She's wonderful.

I knew--

You know you haven't

stopped talking

about Bess, who is Bess?

My horse.

She's here.

No.

There's no horse here.

Sheriff wants to talk to you.

Sheriff?

Oh is it about my horse?

Yes.

She all right?

I've got her at the stables.

Oh that's a relief, thanks.

Oh Sheriff would you

do me another favor?

I've got some money coming

to me from the rodeo,

would you mind dropping by and--

Don't waste no more

breath son, the rodeo

left town two days ago.

Two days ago?

And what's more I didn't come

over here to do you no favors,

I came over to see

about these bills.

What are those?

Claims for damages

done by your horse.

Amounts to over $200.

Excuse me.

Dad, dad we've gotta

let him stay here.

Don't you see, he's helpless.

Ah now you've helped

plenty of people

before when they've

been down on their luck.

I'll take care of him.

Well I suppose

we're stuck with him.

At least you're stuck with him.

Thanks dad.

How do you expect

me to pay these bills

if you won't get my dough?

It ain't my business to go

chasing all over the United

States after some rodeo.

I can't chase after

it, I can't move.

Either the bills

are paid, or I carry

out my duty under the law.

Which is what?

I get a court order to sell

your horse at public auction,

and I pay off the creditors

from the proceeds.

Sell Bess?

Oh Sheriff can't you wait

till I get on my feet again?

I'll pay the bills as

soon as I can, honestly.

I'm sorry son,

it's got to be done

the way it says in the books.

Good day Miss Gray.

Bye Sheriff.

I've got good news for

you, dad says you can stay.

Hey, did you hear what I said?

Yeah, thanks.

Would you do something for me?

Of course.

They're gonna auction

off Bess, would

you find out who gets her?

Sure.

You know, I don't

know your name.

Penny, Penny Grey.

Penny.

I'm Ted--

Ted Daniels, I know.

Woody told me.

Glad to know you.

All right ladies and gentlemen,

we'll start the auction.

What do I hear for an

opening bid on this fine,

flawless, spirited, mare?

$100.

$100 is bid.

$110.

$110. $110 is bid.

Do I hear $120?

$120.

$130.

$130 is bid.

$140.

$140 is bid.

[neigh]

$140, are you all through?

Surely ladies and gentlemen

I can hear more than $140 bid

for this fine animal.

$180.

$180 is bid.

Do I hear $190?

Do I hear $190? $185?

Do I hear $185?

All right.

$180 once, $180 twice, sold

to the gentlemen over there

for $180.

Excuse me lady.

Come on.

It's a nice horse

you've got there.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Were you planning on

stabling her around here?

Nope.

Well um, can you tell me

where you're taking her?

Look lady, I'm working

for an out of town buyer.

I don't know who

he is or what he's

going to do with the horse.

Come on.

Come on, get in here.

Woah.

Come on, you.

Come on, get in here now.

Come on, get in

here, get in here!

Get in here!

Why didn't you find out who

he was, where he was going?

Because I couldn't

make him answer,

he wouldn't tell me anything.

That's great.

I'm sorry Ted.

I did the best I could.

I-- excuse me, I think your

lunch is about ready now.

You're quite a surprise to me.

I figured any man that Penny

would go to so much trouble

for would-- well would

be a pretty solid guy.

What are you getting at doc?

She tried to buy your

horse at the auction.

Did you know that?

Penny, your father told

me about the auction.

You gave me a book to

read the other night.

By Mark Twain?

Yeah by Mark Twain.

It had a line in

it, something like,

if you take a hungry dog

into your house and feed it,

it won't bite you.

Which is a principal difference

between a dog and a man.

I wanna say that he's right,

I'm sorry I just proved it.

And Penny, I feel like

talking some more,

you'd better take

advantage of it,

I don't feel this way often.

You see, until this

accident happened I

never had to count on anybody.

I guess I never wanted to.

Sort of an independent cuss.

I, uh, worked for

Millerick's rodeo for a while

and for ranches

around the country.

And when I got tired I

just quit and moved on.

I was while I was working for

Millerick that I found Bess.

That's a story in itself.

This may sound funny

coming from a grown up guy,

but she was the first

thing I ever had of my own.

The first thing I

ever really wanted.

Maybe you don't understand.

Maybe it doesn't make sense.

It's something you have to feel.

Maybe I'm talking too much.

Anyway.

I think I understand Ted.

Penny, the man who bought

Bess, what did he look like?

Was his name Millerick?

No, I don't know.

Uh was he a tough looking

fellow with a broken nose?

Yes he was Ted.

When do you think

I can leave here?

Oh a month or so.

A month?

Bess what's the

matter with you?

Get in there!

ANNOUNCER: Ladies

and gentlemen, we

now for present

our star attraction

Bess the Wonder Horse.

The horse with a human mind.

All right Bess, take my hat off.

Take my hat off.

That a girl.

Now don't get it dirty,

don't get that hat dirty.

I told you not to

get that hat dirty.

Now pick it up.

Pick it up.

Come on pick that hat up.

What are you going

to do about it now?

Look at that, all dirty.

Now what are you going

to do with that hat?

Oh you're going to brush it off?

Atta girl.

Come on clean it

off, clean it off.

That's a girl.

That's a girl.

Bess?

You know what I think?

I think these are the

greatest horses in the world.

Oh you don't think so, huh?

Well who do you think is the

greatest horse in the world?

[applause]

All right Bess, gimme

a kiss, gimme a kiss.

Come on, give me

a big juicy kiss.

Big juicy kiss.

Atta girl.

All right now gimme a hug.

Come on, gimme a big hug.

Gimme me a big hug.

Come on, gimme a big hug.

Big hug.

Come on.

[applause]

All right Bess, now

crawl like a baby.

[applause]

Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

And Bess thanks you.

[applause]

TED [VOICEOVER]: For some

reason the time at doc

Grey's seemed to pass rapidly.

Maybe Penny had

something to do with it.

Oh hey, take it easy.

You're supposed to be the

invalid and I'm exhausted.

Me an invalid?

Your father told me to

get plenty of exercise.

He didn't mean

mountain climbing.

We haven't started yet.

Ready?

Isn't this nice?

Penny look!

Looks like somebody's cabin.

Now who'd build a

cabin down there?

g*ng of moonshiners maybe.

Or a m*rder*r hiding out.

Well if I'm right just of

whiskey, if you're right

we'll get shot that's

worth a gamble any day.

Come on let's have a look at it.

[inaudible]

Hey here's the

answer, shack must

have belonged to a prospector.

Well evenin' Ted,

any luck today?

Yeah I found me a vein of

gold worth maybe a million.

Well, did you bring

any of it home?

Nope.

Didn't seem worth the fuss.

A city salesman came by today,

but I threw some gold nuggets

at him and told him to beat it.

Good I don't want no strange

man hanging around you.

You know you--

Penny I'm leaving

in a couple of days--

I-- I don't understand.

I've seen what happens to

guys who tie themselves town.

They worry about their jobs,

their family, the installments

on the icebox.

Perhaps they get something

out of life you don't.

Oh sure.

Eventually they get

to own the icebox.

I'd hoped I'd changed your

mind about that way of living.

Changing isn't easy.

It all depends on how much

you want to change Ted.

Oh Penny [inaudible] wanting

something, that means a lot.

There's so many

things a man wants.

He wants friendship,

happiness, freedom.

Well what about love.

Someone [inaudible] a place

of your own, like this.

Dad owns it.

I should've told you before.

Those are the things

that make a man change.

You know that.

It's hard to fight you Penny.

You'll be back?

Yeah I'll be back.

After you get Bess.

I've got a funny kind of

rival, but maybe I'll like her.

ANNOUNCER: All right Bess, bow

for the ladies and gentlemen.

[applause]

Bess, let's see

you imitate a camel.

[applause]

Bess the Wonder Horse.

Woody!

All right Bess, bow for

the ladies and gentlemen.

Come on, bow.

Bow!

Bow!

Get down.

Why didn't you let

me know about this?

It wouldn't have helped you.

Might have helped her.

Get down take a bow.

Get down there.

Get down.

[applause]

Thank you ladies and

gentlemen, and Bess thanks you.

Come on Woody.

Pete.

Yes sir?

-Put her in a corral.

-Yes sir.

Come on Bess, steady.

Come on.

Bess!

What's the matter with you?

Get in there!

Beat it.

Fine things for a

self-respecting horse to wear.

What do you think you're doing?

You've got eyes haven't you?

I don't like what I see.

I don't like a lot of

things I've seen either.

Get this Daniels,

and get it straight.

Every time you've been around

this show there's trouble.

What do you expect

when your steers

spout oil from their horns.

What are you talking about.

Skip it.

I don't know what

brought you here but--

I came for my horse,

Your horse?

She's my horse and you know it.

Sure you've made a

few bucks off her,

you beat the spirit out

of her, that's over.

You understand

Daniels that I bought

this horse fair and square.

Fair and square?

Oh I don't understand that.

I have a paper that gives a

complete [audio out] of sale.

I don't know about

papers, or how

a lawyer would look at this.

But in my book you swindled

me out of that horse.

And there's a matter

of $250 prize money.

Oh that.

To make it fair and square

I'll forget about that.

$250?

The horses is the

star of my show,

she's worth thousands

of dollars to me.

Forget it.

You keep your money,

I take my horse.

This is going to be

a great partnership,

I do all the work

and you [inaudible].

I'm trying to dope

out how I can get Bess.

Why don't you just steal her?

That's exactly what we will do.

We'll go back tonight--

Don't be a fool Ted, that's

all we need, a stolen horse.

Anyway we can't stay around

here to do our figuring.

Come on get in.

Will this [inaudible] now?

It better.

Keep your eyes on the

temperature gage, will you?

Take it easy Woody, we

put plenty of distance

between ourselves and trouble.

That's what you think.

You'll shake this

thing to pieces.

Don't worry about it, she

runs better when she rattles.

[crash]

Runs better when

she rattles, huh?

Woody!

Woody!

Yeah I know, I know.

It's Bess!

Look who's here Woody.

Come down here old girl.

Bess old girl, you've

solved a big problem.

Come on kid.

Ted we gotta talk this over.

Go ahead.

Come over here, I'm not

at all sure that horse

don't understand the language.

The horse can't

[inaudible] don't you.

She's got as much

right to quit the show

as you have, more maybe,

after the way she was treated.

Oh get serious Ted.

That horse is worth a lot

of dough to Millerick.

By now he's got every

cop between here

and the next county

looking for her.

Yeah?

That's his worry.

Well if you're picked up

with Bess that's your worry.

You'll get 10 years

for horse stealing.

Way I see it I didn't steal

her she's still my horse.

The way the law sees it

she's still Millerick's horse.

Look, you've had

nothing but trouble

ever since you found her.

Maybe that's an omen.

I'm not kidding Ted.

In court it'd be open and shut.

You beat a man up

and stole his horse.

No matter how you argued, they'd

still send you up for that.

What am I supposed to do?

Be a good boy and send

Bess back to Millerick?

One thing you've got

to do, you've gotta

get rid of that horse quick.

It's the law!

Hide the horse.

Howdy.

Howdy.

What's this, a accident?

No it just died of old age.

Oh that's too bad.

Well I can't help you right

now, I've got an important job.

Is that so?

Well then you'd better get

going, don't worry about me.

Oh say, you ain't seen nothing

of a fellow with a stolen horse

have you?

Who me?

No.

Is that your important job?

Looking for this fellow?

Yeah and he's

right desperate too.

Is that so?

Say whata you know, the deputy's

on the trail of a horse thief.

A real horse thief?

Didn't know you

had those any more.

Yeah he's six foot

tall, brown hair,

brown eyes, and uses

the name of Ted Daniels.

Say, what's this written here?

$500 reward for the horse?

That's right.

[whistle]

[neigh]

I thought you hadn't

seen any horse.

Well then where did

this horse come from?

What horse?

This horse.

Oh this horse?

Yeah.

I never saw him

before in my life.

I suppose she don't belong to

nobody, just happened along.

That's right.

Maybe one of them wild

horses you read about.

And what would a

wild horse be wearing

all these fancy gadgets?

Maybe she was just

going to a party.

That's enough.

You fellows are coming with me.

Wait a minute.

I think we've got

something here.

This horse fits the description

in the deputy's notebook.

She does?

Yes sir, this is a real break.

It is?

$500 reward.

And can we use it.

Say that's right.

That's our dough,

we found the horse.

What do you mean

you found the horse.

I mean if you just found

the horse I saw her first.

Maybe we'll have

to cut a him in.

Well he was here

when we found her.

Yeah.

OK pal, we'll make

it a three-way split.

There ain't gonna be

no three-way split.

You mean you'd

just leave us here?

And collect all

that dough yourself?

This horse is in my custody

and I'm taking her back to town.

Well that's fine, we'll

ride along back with you.

Sorry boys, there

ain't no room.

But maybe you'd like to

follow me back in your car.

Come on.

For a guy that just got

outta 10 years in jail

you look pretty low.

Look, the horse will be

given back to Millerick,

the cops will be

called off, we've

got nothing to worry about.

We've gotta get

Bess back Woody.

Ha ha [inaudible]

Let's get these

[inaudible] off.

[sirens]

Oh I never thought I'd

grow up to be a horse thief,

but what can a fellow do.

Come on, Bess.

[SINGING] Oh my

darling, oh my darling,

oh my darling Clementine you

are gone and lost forever,

dreadful sorry Clementine.

How I missed, how

I missed, how I

missed my Clementine till

I kissed her little sister

and forgot my Clementine.

What's with you?

All day long you've been

acting just like a cub bear.

My friend our troubles

are almost over.

I mean it.

We get four hundred miles

between us and Millerick,

we're almost home.

Home.

I wanna show you a little place

just a few miles from heaven.

Go on this is so pretty.

There it is partner.

Well Bess, how do

you like it, huh?

Just a few miles from heaven?

Who measured.

What more could a man ask?

Well for one thing, a

roof that don't leak.

You're too finicky.

All it takes is a few

nails, a little dusting.

Shh, don't talk so loud, it's

liable to fall down on us.

Listen, Woody, you

don't seem to get what

a great little place this is.

There's hunting around here,

and fishing, lots of ground,

with a little work

it can be fixed up.

It takes a heap of sweeping

to make a house a home.

Home is where you

hang your squeeze box.

Say, not that this

is any of my business

but what's it all about?

Woody, I've been doing

a lot of thinking.

This life it's no good,

running from place

to place, sleeping under trees.

There are other

things a man wants.

The doctor's daughter?

Yeah, the doctor's daughter.

And a place of my own, a coral,

lots of open country for Bess.

Maybe I'll breed horses.

Maybe an ice box.

Woody I'm going to

live like a normal guy.

Yeah but you're

not a normal guy.

No?

Then I will be.

It's not that easy.

A normal guy has a job, he

isn't hunted by his enemies.

A normal guy isn't wanted

for horse stealing.

Millerick, the

law, that isn't it.

It's a question

of right or wrong,

and that's inside of you.

No it's on post office bulletin

boards at police registers.

That's behind me.

It's not behind you.

There's post offices and

police stations in the state,

in this county.

There's insurance investigators

and claims on a stolen horse.

What Millerick has

done has been wrong.

Wrong for Bess, wrong for me.

I know that.

It wasn't Millerick

who did wrong.

Millerick didn't take

that horse from the hills.

Millerick didn't teach

her how to count,

to balance on a seesaw.

He didn't teach her to rumba.

You did that.

And it was wrong.

Because it was no more

natural than teaching

a man to pull a wagon or neigh.

That's quite a lecture Woody.

OK.

I give up.

I'm with you.

Thanks pal.

Oh if you're going along with

me I want you do me a favor.

OK.

Stop by the doctor's

house, tell the girl you saw

smoke coming from the cabin.

Huh?

She'll catch on.

Oh by the way we

could use some food.

Don't forget Bess.

It's time she ate like

a human being again.

[neigh]

Ted.

Aren't you gonna

say Ted, you're back?

I'm not that conventional.

It's conventional

to kiss you know.

All right.

What do you think of her?

More important, what

does she think of me?

Well baby? [inaudible]

What does that mean?

She likes you.

Well you really

cleaned the place up.

We're gonna live here.

You know it really isn't

bad without the dust--

Ted we're going to what?

Of course if you

don't like it--

Don't like it?

Oh Ted I love it.

But um, what about the

installments on the icebox?

We'll pay them.

How?

I'll get a job.

Let's see.

It needs some curtains, I

saw some beautiful material

in town.

And I think a lamp here.

Yes, a student's lamp.

And a couch here.

Oh I'm going to run into

town and have a look around.

Hey wait a minute I

just got back, remember?

Ted!

Ted!

Over here Woody.

Where's Penny?

She's looking for curtains.

Why?

What's the matter?

Millerick's in town, I was

coming out of the saloon

when I saw him.

Did he see you?

I don't think so, but we'd

better not take any chances.

He won't find us here.

This time you'd

better listen to me.

Ted!

Where's Ted?

He's gone.

Sit down Penny, I

want to talk to you.

So you see Penny?

He had no choice, he

owed that to Bess.

He's quite a guy.

I don't understand why he didn't

tell me I'd have gone with him.

Maybe that's why.

But Woody I love the guy.

He loves you too Penny, that's

why he couldn't let you go.

I don't understand.

Yeah.

Yes you do.

[neigh]

TED [VOICEOVER]: Dawn

was just breaking

when I stopped on the hilltop.

I knew that I had to take

Bess back where she belonged.

What I didn't know was

that I had company.

Well Bess, it's

the end of the line.

Go on.

Down there, that's

where you belong.

You're free now.

I don't want you,

don't you understand?

No of course you don't.

Go on Bess, go on beat it.

Beat it!

Go on Bess, beat it.

Beat it!

[neigh]

Call her off!

Call her off!

[whistle]

You've got something I want.

Bess is back where she belongs.

[neigh]

Bess!

Yes, she's back

where she belongs.
