00:00.000 --> 00:16.000
Judge Archibald has been counting the election votes since early this morning.

00:16.000 --> 00:19.000
But I can tell you right now what the score will be.

00:19.000 --> 00:22.000
Mr. X, millions and millions.

00:22.000 --> 00:25.000
Howdy-doody, nothing.

00:25.000 --> 00:30.000
Say, kids, what time is it?

00:30.000 --> 00:33.000
Happy New Year!

00:33.000 --> 00:38.000
Well, kids, this is your old pal, Oilwell Willie.

00:38.000 --> 00:43.000
Yes, sir, and I'm telling you, please sing good and loud for good old Howdy-doody and Buffalo Bob.

00:43.000 --> 00:45.000
Come on, kids, let's go!

00:45.000 --> 01:11.000
Happy New Year!

01:11.000 --> 01:14.000
Well, say, kids, that was nice going.

01:14.000 --> 01:18.000
Yes, sir, I bet Buffalo Bob heard that all the way up there at Wrinklemeyer's Rest.

01:18.000 --> 01:23.000
And, say, you know why Buffalo Bob is up there today now, don't you?

01:23.000 --> 01:25.000
Yes, you do, yes.

01:25.000 --> 01:32.000
Oh, gosh, Willie, I'll bet every kid knows how Buffalo Bob got stuck in Wrinklemeyer's Rest.

01:32.000 --> 01:33.000
I know it too, Howdy.

01:33.000 --> 01:36.000
It's because that wise guy, Phineas T. Bluffs, to play a trick on him,

01:36.000 --> 01:39.000
and sent all the Howdy-doody votes up there by bus.

01:39.000 --> 01:42.000
Yes, sir, and poor Buffalo Bob went up after him.

01:42.000 --> 01:48.000
But he can't possibly get back here with him till, well, till a couple of minutes before tomorrow's show starts.

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
And that means my votes will never get counted.

01:51.000 --> 01:52.000
You're right, Howdy.

01:52.000 --> 01:55.000
And it's terrible, I say, it is terrible!

01:55.000 --> 01:59.000
Because Judge Archboar has got to stop counting at the official minute.

01:59.000 --> 02:02.000
And that is two minutes to six, Doodyville time tomorrow.

02:02.000 --> 02:06.000
And no matter how many votes are counted or how many votes are not counted.

02:06.000 --> 02:10.000
Well, anyway, let's show the kids our counting machine, Willie.

02:10.000 --> 02:13.000
Oh, yes, sir. Here we are right here.

02:13.000 --> 02:20.000
Look at that. No votes for Howdy, no ballots for Howdy, but plenty for Mr. X.

02:20.000 --> 02:21.000
Oh, yes.

02:21.000 --> 02:22.000
This is terrible.

02:22.000 --> 02:29.000
I'm going to, sir, one million nine hundred and ninety five thousand votes for Mr. X and none for Howdy-doody.

02:29.000 --> 02:31.000
Oh, this is bad.

02:31.000 --> 02:35.000
One million nine hundred and ninety five thousand and one.

02:35.000 --> 02:38.000
Yes, sir.

02:38.000 --> 02:41.000
Put another one there. Be careful.

02:41.000 --> 02:46.000
And they all go in. That's one million nine hundred and ninety five thousand and two.

02:46.000 --> 02:50.000
Yes, sir. And here goes another one there. So ring them twice for that.

02:50.000 --> 02:56.000
Oh, yes. I say this is a frightfully big job, Roy Well.

02:56.000 --> 02:58.000
I should have him finish counting Mr. X's votes.

02:58.000 --> 03:00.000
Oh, this is dreadful.

03:00.000 --> 03:04.000
Goodness knows, you know, I'll never have time to count all of Howdy's votes if they don't get out till tomorrow.

03:04.000 --> 03:06.000
Oh, this is bad.

03:06.000 --> 03:15.000
I may even end up at the official minute with, well, many millions of votes for Mr. X and only eight or nine little baby votes for Howdy.

03:15.000 --> 03:17.000
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

03:17.000 --> 03:21.000
Howdy-doody can't possibly win.

03:21.000 --> 03:25.000
I might as well start making plans for Mr. X's victory party right now.

03:25.000 --> 03:31.000
Ha, ha, ha. Hooray for Mr. X.

03:31.000 --> 03:36.000
Well, boy, Mr. Buster sure fixed us this time. Gosh.

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
And there isn't a thing we can do about it.

03:38.000 --> 03:44.000
And poor Buffalo Bob, might as well admit it, poor Buffalo Bob, he must be awful lonesome up there.

03:44.000 --> 03:50.000
Say, say, I know what. Let's turn on the super talk scope and see what Buffalo Bob is doing up there at Rinkermeyer's Rest.

03:50.000 --> 03:52.000
How about it? Okay, Howdy?

03:52.000 --> 03:56.000
Okay, Willie, but boy, oh, boy, I hate to think what he must be going through.

03:56.000 --> 04:01.000
Oh, it's pretty bad. Pretty bad. Well, here we go. Come on, we put on the old talk scope here.

04:01.000 --> 04:04.000
Set up the dial. Set it for about 500 miles, I guess.

04:04.000 --> 04:06.000
And here we go.

04:06.000 --> 04:13.000
Well, see, there he is now. That's his showcase. I recognize him.

04:13.000 --> 04:19.000
Oh, flies, flies, but flies.

04:19.000 --> 04:23.000
Boy, am I ever going to give Buster a piece of my mind.

04:23.000 --> 04:31.000
Making me chase all the way up here to get back all these bags full of howdy-doody votes.

04:31.000 --> 04:34.000
Boy, oh, boy.

04:34.000 --> 04:38.000
Finneas T. Bluster.

04:38.000 --> 04:45.000
He said that this place was far away from everything. And boy, oh, boy, for once he wasn't kidding.

04:45.000 --> 04:49.000
Well, I don't know what to do.

04:49.000 --> 04:54.000
I might as well get these bags over at the bus station.

04:54.000 --> 05:00.000
No trains. No planes.

05:00.000 --> 05:04.000
Just one slow bus.

05:04.000 --> 05:06.000
And votes.

05:06.000 --> 05:09.000
Oh, boy, have we ever got votes.

05:09.000 --> 05:12.000
Millions of them.

05:12.000 --> 05:18.000
But what good are they? I can't get them back so that Judge Archibald can count them.

05:18.000 --> 05:21.000
Oh, I don't know what to do.

05:21.000 --> 05:27.000
Boy, after the terrific campaign that howdy-doody put on, getting all these votes.

05:27.000 --> 05:35.000
Now it looks as if we'll never get them there for them to count them.

05:35.000 --> 05:41.000
So after the wonderful campaign that howdy put on, it looks like he's going to lose the election to Mr. X.

05:41.000 --> 05:45.000
Do that fly. Do that fly.

05:45.000 --> 05:49.000
Wait a minute. Bob!

05:49.000 --> 05:53.000
No.

05:53.000 --> 05:59.000
Wait till I get that Mr. Bluster.

05:59.000 --> 06:04.000
Gosh, ain't that tough. That poor, buffo Bob.

06:04.000 --> 06:06.000
Yeah, and poor howdy.

06:06.000 --> 06:11.000
Oh, boy, oh, boy, there's just got to be some way of beating this thing.

06:11.000 --> 06:16.000
Some way to get my votes, my ballots back here in dutyville and today.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
How can you? It's absolutely hopeless.

06:19.000 --> 06:21.000
There are no trains and no airplanes.

06:21.000 --> 06:23.000
Oh, I know, I know.

06:23.000 --> 06:29.000
Nothing flies in and out of Wrinklemeyer's Rest except a lot of mosquitoes and horse flies.

06:29.000 --> 06:34.000
But let's see now. Now if we can only, you see if we can...

06:34.000 --> 06:39.000
Oh, wait a minute. Oh, boy, oh, boy, kids, I got it. I got it. I got it.

06:39.000 --> 06:41.000
Well, tell us, what do you mean, Howdy?

06:41.000 --> 06:43.000
Now, listen everybody.

06:43.000 --> 06:46.000
Oh, boy, this is going to do it. This will save the day for sure.

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

06:48.000 --> 06:51.000
Wait a minute. What are you talking about? Say it, say it, Howdy.

06:51.000 --> 06:54.000
Look, Bob. The arrow doodle.

06:54.000 --> 06:55.000
Don't you get it?

06:55.000 --> 06:56.000
What?

06:56.000 --> 07:00.000
We'll use my super sensational, super fast arrow doodle.

07:00.000 --> 07:03.000
The arrow doodle, hotchie-totchie.

07:03.000 --> 07:06.000
But how are we doing?

07:06.000 --> 07:11.000
Don't you see, Flob, the arrow doodle is so fast, it goes over a thousand miles an hour.

07:11.000 --> 07:12.000
That's right.

07:12.000 --> 07:17.000
And boy, oh, boy, it can get to Wrinklemeyer's Rest and back in, oh, in just five or six minutes.

07:17.000 --> 07:22.000
By sure. Say, we can keep on flying it back and forth and back and forth.

07:22.000 --> 07:24.000
And each time it gets up there to Wrinklemeyer's Rest,

07:24.000 --> 07:28.000
Bumbley Bob can, well, he can fill it up with your votes, Howdy Doody.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
And then it'll fly back here to Doodyville.

07:30.000 --> 07:35.000
And maybe, maybe we'll have all the votes back here before the end of the day.

07:35.000 --> 07:38.000
All right, Willie, it's a great idea, Howdy Boy.

07:38.000 --> 07:40.000
Well, come on, come on, let's get going fast.

07:40.000 --> 07:42.000
Who, who's going to fly the arrow doodle?

07:42.000 --> 07:43.000
Who'll fly it?

07:43.000 --> 07:45.000
Flop-a-dub Junior, of course.

07:45.000 --> 07:47.000
He's the smallest aviator here.

07:47.000 --> 07:51.000
That's right. He's little and he's light and he won't slow down the ship

07:51.000 --> 07:53.000
and he'll leave more room for the ballots.

07:53.000 --> 07:54.000
I'll go tell him right away.

07:54.000 --> 07:56.000
Oh, boy, I'm so proud.

07:56.000 --> 07:59.000
Such an important job for my son.

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
My boy.

08:01.000 --> 08:04.000
He'll be able to tell his grandchildren about this.

08:04.000 --> 08:05.000
That's right.

08:05.000 --> 08:06.000
Junior.

08:06.000 --> 08:08.000
Oh, Junior.

08:08.000 --> 08:14.000
Oh, boy, oh, boy, kids, old Buffalo Bobby's surprised when he sees Junior flying in on the arrow doodle.

08:14.000 --> 08:17.000
Wait, Flop, I'll help you find Junior.

08:17.000 --> 08:22.000
Hotchie-totchie, let's see how Judge Archibald is coming along with those, those X-Ropes.

08:22.000 --> 08:24.000
What are you doing there, Judge?

08:24.000 --> 08:29.000
Oh, I'm afraid to look, but tell me what's the score, Judge Archibald?

08:29.000 --> 08:34.000
Oh, my goodness, yes, sir.

08:34.000 --> 08:39.000
Oh, getting close to two million votes, eh?

08:39.000 --> 08:41.000
And plenty more X-Ropes here to count.

08:41.000 --> 08:42.000
Yes, sir.

08:42.000 --> 08:45.000
Not one howdy-doody vote.

08:45.000 --> 08:47.000
Not even one.

08:47.000 --> 08:51.000
Ain't even a ballot I mailed up there to Wrinklemeyer's Rest.

08:51.000 --> 08:53.000
This is terrible, Clarence.

08:53.000 --> 08:55.000
Terrible, terrible.

08:55.000 --> 08:57.000
Hurry up, Flop, Junior.

08:57.000 --> 09:00.000
Oh, I wish there was something I could do about me, she.

09:00.000 --> 09:02.000
I guess there just ain't nothing.

09:02.000 --> 09:04.000
No, sir, X has all the votes.

09:04.000 --> 09:06.000
Howdy-doody has absolutely none.

09:06.000 --> 09:09.000
And, well, that's all there is to it.

09:09.000 --> 09:11.000
I'm just going to give up, I think.

09:11.000 --> 09:13.000
That's what I was thinking, though.

09:13.000 --> 09:14.000
Very sad.

09:14.000 --> 09:19.000
Hmm, let's see, nine hundred and ninety-eight thousand.

09:19.000 --> 09:22.000
I'm so tired from all this counting, I don't know.

09:22.000 --> 09:28.000
Let's see, I have one million nine hundred and two counting my index finger.

09:28.000 --> 09:57.000
I never count my index finger.

09:57.000 --> 10:02.000
Let's see here.

10:02.000 --> 10:08.000
There's one from Gerard Garbage Bail.

10:08.000 --> 10:31.000
Let's see here.

10:31.000 --> 10:42.000
Oh, that's right, that's right.

10:42.000 --> 10:45.000
Something wrong, Clarence?

10:45.000 --> 10:50.000
Something wrong there, I see.

10:50.000 --> 10:52.000
Look, Poopsy.

10:52.000 --> 11:08.000
Oh, yes.

11:08.000 --> 11:17.000
Oh, yes indeed, boy.

11:17.000 --> 11:23.000
Oh, you crazy clown.

11:23.000 --> 11:24.000
You silly clown.

11:24.000 --> 11:26.000
What's the idea there, then?

11:26.000 --> 11:28.000
Hey, Poopsy, boy.

11:28.000 --> 11:30.000
See, here I am.

11:30.000 --> 11:31.000
Cluppers Up Junior.

11:31.000 --> 11:33.000
Here's Junior and the Aredoodle.

11:33.000 --> 11:34.000
Hurry.

11:34.000 --> 11:35.000
I'm reporting for action, sir.

11:35.000 --> 11:36.000
Yes, sir.

11:36.000 --> 11:38.000
Cluppers Up Junior, I'm ready to help.

11:38.000 --> 11:40.000
I'm ready to help out and do my duty.

11:40.000 --> 11:41.000
Howdy-doody.

11:41.000 --> 11:42.000
Yeah, sure.

11:42.000 --> 11:44.000
Hey, you know where to go?

11:44.000 --> 11:47.000
I said you do.

11:47.000 --> 11:49.000
You know, you got to stop here and do the duty.

11:49.000 --> 11:50.000
Howdy-doody, Boach.

11:50.000 --> 11:52.000
And say howdy-doody to Buffalo Wild Boach, will you?

11:52.000 --> 11:53.000
Yeah, boy, you're rushing me, kid.

11:53.000 --> 11:55.000
Now, now, now, don't waste another second, Plupp.

11:55.000 --> 11:56.000
Off you go.

11:56.000 --> 11:57.000
So long.

11:57.000 --> 11:58.000
Good luck.

11:58.000 --> 11:59.000
See you when you get back.

11:59.000 --> 12:00.000
Good-bye.

12:00.000 --> 12:01.000
Hotchy-touchy.

12:01.000 --> 12:02.000
There's your Hotchy-touchy, kids.

12:02.000 --> 12:11.000
You know, Junior, he'll get up there and get those boats back here to duty, Bill Boach.

12:11.000 --> 12:14.000
And from now on, it's a race against the clock.

12:14.000 --> 12:16.000
Now, at least Howdy has a chance.

12:16.000 --> 12:20.000
Yes, sir, he has a chance to win, even if it is just a very tiny chance.

12:20.000 --> 12:23.000
Yes, sir, boy, it sure is fun running for president.

12:23.000 --> 12:24.000
Ain't it, kids?

12:24.000 --> 12:25.000
Yeah.

12:25.000 --> 12:30.000
Yes, any of you kids here who'd like to run for president?

12:30.000 --> 12:31.000
Any of you kids?

12:31.000 --> 12:35.000
Well, say, we have a lot of future presidents here.

12:35.000 --> 12:37.000
Look at all the girl presidents.

12:37.000 --> 12:41.000
Well, here's a nice-looking boy here, say, he'd make a good-looking president.

12:41.000 --> 12:43.000
Now, tell me, sonny, what's your name?

12:43.000 --> 12:44.000
Harry Dorman.

12:44.000 --> 12:45.000
Harry Dorman?

12:45.000 --> 12:46.000
Larry Dorman.

12:46.000 --> 12:47.000
Oh, Larry Dorman.

12:47.000 --> 12:52.000
Well, now, tell me, Larry, if you ran for president and you were lucky enough to get

12:52.000 --> 12:56.000
elected, what would you do to change things in the country?

12:56.000 --> 12:57.000
Do you have any ideas?

12:57.000 --> 12:58.000
Hmm?

12:58.000 --> 12:59.000
Fix televisions.

12:59.000 --> 13:00.000
You'd fix televisions?

13:00.000 --> 13:03.000
Well, how do you mean you'd fix them?

13:03.000 --> 13:06.000
You mean you'd take them apart and put them together again?

13:06.000 --> 13:07.000
You would?

13:07.000 --> 13:11.000
You think if you got one apart, you'd know how to put it back together again?

13:11.000 --> 13:12.000
Huh?

13:12.000 --> 13:13.000
Maybe.

13:13.000 --> 13:14.000
Maybe?

13:14.000 --> 13:20.000
Well, in other words, if you were president, you might put out a little pamphlet that would

13:20.000 --> 13:24.000
tell people how to take their television set apart and how to put it back together again,

13:24.000 --> 13:25.000
right?

13:25.000 --> 13:27.000
Okay, well, that's pretty good.

13:27.000 --> 13:29.000
We'd have some good work in television sets.

13:29.000 --> 13:31.000
How about this little young lady right here?

13:31.000 --> 13:32.000
Stand up, honey.

13:32.000 --> 13:33.000
That's it.

13:33.000 --> 13:34.000
Now, what's your name, hmm?

13:34.000 --> 13:36.000
Judith Ann Lang.

13:36.000 --> 13:41.000
Well, Judith, now, if you happen to be elected president, of course you realize you'd be

13:41.000 --> 13:44.000
the first lady president ever elected, don't you?

13:44.000 --> 13:48.000
Now, if you were elected, you tell us, what would you do to make this great country of

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
ours even greater, huh?

13:50.000 --> 13:54.000
Well, I, this would be great for everybody.

13:54.000 --> 13:56.000
Oh, good, good.

13:56.000 --> 14:04.000
I would, I would let magic do everything and the people could rest all the time.

14:04.000 --> 14:07.000
You'd let magic do everything and the people could rest?

14:07.000 --> 14:08.000
Well, I think-

14:08.000 --> 14:14.000
And even when the children have to go out and play at Great Affairs on piano and other

14:14.000 --> 14:20.000
instruments, they would know how to do it, even though the magic did it for the lessons.

14:20.000 --> 14:24.000
Yeah, well, who's gonna, who's gonna handle the controls of all this magic?

14:24.000 --> 14:25.000
I would.

14:25.000 --> 14:26.000
Oh, you would?

14:26.000 --> 14:28.000
I see, and you'd let everybody else rest.

14:28.000 --> 14:30.000
They wouldn't have to work or do anything, huh?

14:30.000 --> 14:36.000
Because the magic, all I would have to do is wag my hand once and then I could rest

14:36.000 --> 14:38.000
the whole day, too.

14:38.000 --> 14:40.000
Well, say, that's pretty good.

14:40.000 --> 14:43.000
Well, I hope you have good luck if you ever run.

14:43.000 --> 14:45.000
Now, how about somebody else here?

14:45.000 --> 14:46.000
Who else would like to be president?

14:46.000 --> 14:48.000
Oh, how about this little young lady here?

14:48.000 --> 14:50.000
Oh, this is her sister.

14:50.000 --> 14:52.000
Well, maybe we could have a team or something.

14:52.000 --> 14:56.000
Now, tell me, if you were elected president, what would you do, hmm?

14:56.000 --> 14:59.000
I would let everybody do whatever they wanted to do.

14:59.000 --> 15:01.000
You would let everybody do whatever they wanted to do.

15:01.000 --> 15:02.000
Well, such as?

15:02.000 --> 15:05.000
Now, what would you like to do if you were elected, huh?

15:05.000 --> 15:10.000
You'd let everybody do what they wanted to do, and what would you like to do most, hmm?

15:10.000 --> 15:12.000
I'd like to do what everybody else would do.

15:12.000 --> 15:16.000
You'd like, you'd like to do what everybody else is doing?

15:16.000 --> 15:19.000
Well, wouldn't that get a little monotonous, hmm?

15:19.000 --> 15:21.000
Wouldn't you like to have a variety of things happening?

15:21.000 --> 15:24.000
Well, anyway, you say you'd let everybody do what they wanted to do.

15:24.000 --> 15:27.000
Well, you and your sister make a pretty good team, let me tell you that.

15:27.000 --> 15:29.000
Who else here would like to be president?

15:29.000 --> 15:31.000
Yay!

15:31.000 --> 15:32.000
How about this little boy?

15:32.000 --> 15:33.000
Come on, sonny, stand up.

15:33.000 --> 15:35.000
Now you tell old Wile Wile Willie what your name is, huh?

15:35.000 --> 15:36.000
Billy.

15:36.000 --> 15:38.000
Billy, I see.

15:38.000 --> 15:42.000
Now, say we counted up the votes, and your name is on the ballot box here,

15:42.000 --> 15:46.000
and it just turned out that everyone voted for you, and they elected Billy,

15:46.000 --> 15:48.000
president of the great United States.

15:48.000 --> 15:50.000
Tell us, what would you do, hmm?

15:50.000 --> 15:51.000
Well?

15:51.000 --> 15:53.000
Well, that's a good start.

15:53.000 --> 15:56.000
Make bigger wells and deeper wells, huh?

15:56.000 --> 15:59.000
Come on there, Billy, now you tell us.

15:59.000 --> 16:01.000
And, um...

16:01.000 --> 16:04.000
You'd make bigger and deeper wells, and, uh...

16:04.000 --> 16:06.000
Make more lakes?

16:06.000 --> 16:07.000
More lakes.

16:07.000 --> 16:09.000
Well, we've got a good number of lakes.

16:09.000 --> 16:11.000
Yes, what else?

16:11.000 --> 16:13.000
Enlarge the rivers?

16:13.000 --> 16:14.000
Uh-huh.

16:14.000 --> 16:16.000
Bigger and deeper rivers, yes.

16:16.000 --> 16:17.000
More factories?

16:17.000 --> 16:19.000
More factories.

16:19.000 --> 16:22.000
We'll have to use some of that magic that young lady suggested there,

16:22.000 --> 16:23.000
if we have more factories.

16:23.000 --> 16:24.000
Go ahead.

16:24.000 --> 16:26.000
And maybe...

16:26.000 --> 16:27.000
Yeah?

16:27.000 --> 16:29.000
Um...

16:29.000 --> 16:30.000
Maybe what?

16:30.000 --> 16:31.000
Higher mountains?

16:31.000 --> 16:32.000
Uh-huh.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.000
Okay, we'll have higher mountains.

16:34.000 --> 16:35.000
Yeah.

16:35.000 --> 16:36.000
And, uh...

16:36.000 --> 16:37.000
That...

16:37.000 --> 16:39.000
And more counties.

16:39.000 --> 16:42.000
Say, excuse me, kids, wait just a minute, wait just a minute here.

16:42.000 --> 16:44.000
Fire bill?

16:44.000 --> 16:46.000
Fire bill?

16:46.000 --> 16:48.000
Fire bill, what are you doing?

16:48.000 --> 16:49.000
Huh?

16:49.000 --> 16:53.000
Fire bill, can't you see I'm busy talking to the kids?

16:53.000 --> 16:56.000
Now, come on, will you stop that and go play someplace else?

16:56.000 --> 16:57.000
Go on.

16:57.000 --> 16:58.000
Get...

16:58.000 --> 16:59.000
Get...

16:59.000 --> 17:00.000
Get...

17:00.000 --> 17:01.000
Get...

17:01.000 --> 17:02.000
Hey!

17:02.000 --> 17:04.000
That looks like fun!

17:04.000 --> 17:06.000
Oh, uh, gosh, I will, Willie.

17:06.000 --> 17:08.000
Don't you know about our wonderful offering?

17:08.000 --> 17:10.000
Well, I guess I better tell you about it.

17:10.000 --> 17:12.000
And the kids, too.

17:12.000 --> 17:15.000
Now, you see, the folks who make Fifth Avenue candy bars

17:15.000 --> 17:18.000
are offering these wonderful punch of balloons

17:18.000 --> 17:21.000
to all the boys and girls that watch this show.

17:21.000 --> 17:23.000
Well, see, how do you get one, Howdy?

17:23.000 --> 17:26.000
Oh, well, gosh, that's easy, Willie.

17:26.000 --> 17:29.000
Now, all you have to do is to send one wrapper

17:29.000 --> 17:32.000
from a delicious Fifth Avenue candy bar

17:32.000 --> 17:35.000
along with 10 cents and your name and address

17:35.000 --> 17:41.000
to Howdy Doody, Box 55, New York, 14 New York.

17:41.000 --> 17:43.000
And that's all there is to it.

17:43.000 --> 17:45.000
Now, hee-hee-hee!

17:45.000 --> 17:47.000
Say, this is fun!

17:47.000 --> 17:51.000
And, boy, I sure do like those Fifth Avenue candy bars.

17:51.000 --> 17:52.000
Yeah, sure.

17:52.000 --> 17:55.000
And I'm going to send for my punch of balloons

17:55.000 --> 17:57.000
right after the show.

17:57.000 --> 17:58.000
Hee-hee-hee!

17:58.000 --> 18:00.000
Oh, this is fun!

18:00.000 --> 18:02.000
Woo-hoo-hoo!

18:02.000 --> 18:04.000
Yeah, sure, this is wonderful fun.

18:04.000 --> 18:06.000
And, oh, say, look at that wonderful picture

18:06.000 --> 18:08.000
of Howdy Doody right here on the balloon.

18:08.000 --> 18:09.000
Isn't that wonderful?

18:09.000 --> 18:11.000
Oh, that's fun.

18:11.000 --> 18:14.000
Hey, kids, I wonder if that fluffed-up junior

18:14.000 --> 18:16.000
got to Wrinklemeyer's rest in the air too yet.

18:16.000 --> 18:19.000
Oh, boy, he ought to be landing just about now, Willie.

18:19.000 --> 18:22.000
Come on, let's tune in on that super-tachyscoping city.

18:22.000 --> 18:25.000
Oh, boy, oh, boy, kids, cross your fingers.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
Come on now, tune it in.

18:27.000 --> 18:29.000
Good and sharp here, Carvel.

18:29.000 --> 18:32.000
That's it, tune it in.

18:32.000 --> 18:34.000
There, we're getting something.

18:34.000 --> 18:36.000
Keep working at it.

18:36.000 --> 18:37.000
There.

18:37.000 --> 18:46.000
There, hotchy-totchy.

18:46.000 --> 18:51.000
Oh, those flies.

18:51.000 --> 18:54.000
Oh, heavens.

18:54.000 --> 18:56.000
I've still got more than six hours to wait

18:56.000 --> 19:00.000
before that bus starts back for Doodyville.

19:00.000 --> 19:04.000
Well, gee, kids, I'm afraid that Howdy has just sunk.

19:04.000 --> 19:08.000
I won't be able to get all these votes back there to Doodyville

19:08.000 --> 19:12.000
in time for Judge Archibald to count them.

19:12.000 --> 19:15.000
Boy, Archibald will have about 20 minutes

19:15.000 --> 19:19.000
to count over two million votes, and that's impossible.

19:19.000 --> 19:21.000
Absolutely impossible.

19:21.000 --> 19:23.000
Howdy has sunk.

19:23.000 --> 19:25.000
Absolutely sunk.

19:25.000 --> 19:29.000
If there were only some way that I could get these votes...

19:29.000 --> 19:31.000
Hey, wait a minute.

19:31.000 --> 19:32.000
What's that I hear?

19:32.000 --> 19:34.000
Isn't that a motor?

19:34.000 --> 19:36.000
I sure...

19:36.000 --> 19:38.000
Well, I'll be swoozled.

19:38.000 --> 19:41.000
Well, for heaven's sakes, it's some kind of an airship.

19:41.000 --> 19:43.000
And it's heading right this way.

19:43.000 --> 19:45.000
And it's going to land right here.

19:45.000 --> 19:47.000
Well, no, it can't be.

19:47.000 --> 19:48.000
Well, yes, it is.

19:48.000 --> 19:50.000
It's our Aero-Doodle.

19:50.000 --> 19:53.000
And that looks like Flub Junior is in it.

19:53.000 --> 19:57.000
It's circling around here, and there it comes,

19:57.000 --> 20:00.000
and he's circling down to...

20:00.000 --> 20:04.000
Well, here comes Flub Junior and Howdy's Aero-Doodle.

20:04.000 --> 20:07.000
Here he is, pilot Flub Junior.

20:07.000 --> 20:08.000
Hi, Papa.

20:08.000 --> 20:09.000
Come on in for a landing.

20:09.000 --> 20:10.000
I hope so.

20:10.000 --> 20:11.000
Careful now.

20:11.000 --> 20:12.000
Why?

20:12.000 --> 20:13.000
Right here.

20:13.000 --> 20:14.000
How?

20:14.000 --> 20:17.000
Oh, well, this is wonderful, Flub Junior.

20:17.000 --> 20:19.000
Well, what a surprise.

20:19.000 --> 20:21.000
Pilot Flub Junior reporting with orders

20:21.000 --> 20:23.000
from Commander Howdy Doody.

20:23.000 --> 20:25.000
Well, what are you doing here with the Aero-Doodle, Flub Junior?

20:25.000 --> 20:28.000
It's an emergency flight, Operation Save the Nation.

20:28.000 --> 20:29.000
Yeah?

20:29.000 --> 20:31.000
Howdy sent me to pick up the boats

20:31.000 --> 20:32.000
and take them back to Doodyville.

20:32.000 --> 20:33.000
Well, that's a terrific idea.

20:33.000 --> 20:34.000
Yeah.

20:34.000 --> 20:36.000
Yeah, the Aero-Doodle goes so fast

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
that you might be able to fly back and forth enough times

20:38.000 --> 20:42.000
to deliver all the boats in time to be counted by the judge.

20:42.000 --> 20:44.000
Yeah, I sure can try, boy.

20:44.000 --> 20:45.000
Let's get going, Bubba Bubba.

20:45.000 --> 20:46.000
Hey, that's great.

20:46.000 --> 20:47.000
I want to get going, boy.

20:47.000 --> 20:48.000
All right, now, wait a minute.

20:48.000 --> 20:49.000
Be careful.

20:49.000 --> 20:50.000
I am careful.

20:50.000 --> 20:51.000
Say, this is wonderful.

20:51.000 --> 20:52.000
This is wonderful.

20:52.000 --> 20:53.000
Look, I'll take some of these boats.

20:53.000 --> 20:54.000
All right.

20:54.000 --> 20:55.000
And I'll just...

20:55.000 --> 20:56.000
Put them in the aft.

20:56.000 --> 20:57.000
Put them in here.

20:57.000 --> 20:58.000
Or in the aft of the ship.

20:58.000 --> 20:59.000
Boy, this is wonderful.

20:59.000 --> 21:00.000
Say, this is a great idea.

21:00.000 --> 21:01.000
Boy, from stem to stern, we'll have letters...

21:01.000 --> 21:02.000
Now, look.

21:02.000 --> 21:03.000
...from stem to stern.

21:03.000 --> 21:08.000
I want you to fly just as fast as you possibly can, Bub.

21:08.000 --> 21:09.000
You know I will.

21:09.000 --> 21:10.000
All right.

21:10.000 --> 21:11.000
Boy.

21:11.000 --> 21:12.000
What a great idea.

21:12.000 --> 21:13.000
Boy, I'm...

21:13.000 --> 21:14.000
I'm...

21:14.000 --> 21:15.000
I'm certainly...

21:15.000 --> 21:16.000
Now, you can take that pile there.

21:16.000 --> 21:17.000
Boy, oh, boy.

21:17.000 --> 21:18.000
Here.

21:18.000 --> 21:21.000
You're probably wondering how Archibald's coming with the carriage, huh?

21:21.000 --> 21:22.000
Oh, I take it, yeah.

21:22.000 --> 21:23.000
Well, that's what made me so angry.

21:23.000 --> 21:24.000
We got all these boats here,

21:24.000 --> 21:25.000
and there's nothing to do with them.

21:25.000 --> 21:26.000
Yeah.

21:26.000 --> 21:30.000
Well, I think he's added up almost 2 million votes for Mr. X by now.

21:30.000 --> 21:31.000
Oh, this is great.

21:31.000 --> 21:32.000
How's that right there, Bub?

21:32.000 --> 21:33.000
Yes, boy.

21:33.000 --> 21:34.000
Yes.

21:34.000 --> 21:37.000
Stick it on the propeller wing type thing.

21:37.000 --> 21:38.000
All right.

21:38.000 --> 21:39.000
Wow.

21:39.000 --> 21:40.000
I put one over here.

21:40.000 --> 21:41.000
Oh, boy, oh, boy.

21:41.000 --> 21:42.000
Will Mr. Buster be surprised.

21:42.000 --> 21:46.000
You're going to stab the digitalis though if you put any there.

21:46.000 --> 21:47.000
Yes, sir.

21:47.000 --> 21:48.000
There you are, Bub.

21:48.000 --> 21:49.000
How does that look?

21:49.000 --> 21:51.000
Boy, it certainly looks like man-crawl.

21:51.000 --> 21:53.000
I want to balance the weight here.

21:53.000 --> 21:54.000
Do that, yeah.

21:54.000 --> 21:55.000
So that you have no trouble.

21:55.000 --> 21:56.000
All right.

21:56.000 --> 21:57.000
There you are, Bub Junior.

21:57.000 --> 21:58.000
Boy, oh, boy.

21:58.000 --> 21:59.000
Is it loaded?

21:59.000 --> 22:00.000
I think it's loaded.

22:00.000 --> 22:01.000
Yes, sir.

22:01.000 --> 22:02.000
Now, look, that's a full load.

22:02.000 --> 22:03.000
So you go ahead.

22:03.000 --> 22:06.000
You take off, and you come back for another load as fast as you can, okay?

22:06.000 --> 22:07.000
Boy, yes, sir.

22:07.000 --> 22:08.000
Here I come.

22:08.000 --> 22:09.000
Atta boy.

22:09.000 --> 22:10.000
Good luck, Bub Junior.

22:10.000 --> 22:11.000
Okay.

22:11.000 --> 22:12.000
Careful.

22:12.000 --> 22:13.000
Yeah.

22:13.000 --> 22:14.000
Careful.

22:14.000 --> 22:15.000
Can't get me from the mail without a scorecard here.

22:15.000 --> 22:16.000
Atta boy.

22:16.000 --> 22:17.000
Bye.

22:17.000 --> 22:18.000
Bye, Bubba Bob.

22:18.000 --> 22:19.000
Careful.

22:19.000 --> 22:20.000
Safe journey.

22:20.000 --> 22:21.000
Yeah, boy.

22:21.000 --> 22:22.000
I wish him luck.

22:22.000 --> 22:23.000
So long, Bub Junior.

22:23.000 --> 22:24.000
Bye.

22:24.000 --> 22:29.000
Oh, boy, what a terrific idea.

22:29.000 --> 22:31.000
Yes, sir, kids.

22:31.000 --> 22:34.000
Maybe Howdy has a chance after all.

22:34.000 --> 22:35.000
Maybe.

22:35.000 --> 22:38.000
Bye, Bubba Bob.

22:38.000 --> 22:44.000
Boy, here I am.

22:44.000 --> 22:45.000
Where be?

22:45.000 --> 22:47.000
Touchy, touchy.

22:47.000 --> 22:48.000
Touchy-touchy.

22:48.000 --> 22:49.000
Touchy-touchy kids.

22:49.000 --> 22:50.000
Shake hands, ya.

22:50.000 --> 22:56.000
Hey, kids, hey, Bob Junior, he's on his way back here with hundreds of out-of-duty votes.

22:56.000 --> 22:57.000
Isn't that great?

22:57.000 --> 22:59.000
Yeah!

23:00.000 --> 23:03.000
And then, you know what? Then he'll take right off again for another load.

23:03.000 --> 23:05.000
Yes, sir.

23:05.000 --> 23:10.000
One million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight.

23:14.000 --> 23:19.000
I only have to stay there. I'm getting so tired. There you go, votes.

23:19.000 --> 23:24.000
One million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

23:28.000 --> 23:35.000
Here I go again. One million nine... Oh, no. Goodness. This is two million.

23:35.000 --> 23:37.000
Two million!

23:40.000 --> 23:46.000
Oh, yes, well, and this is the last one here. Just one left, the last expert.

23:46.000 --> 23:56.000
And here it goes. Two million and one votes for Mr. X and none for Howdy Doody.

23:56.000 --> 24:02.000
And now, thank goodness, I can rest my weary bones.

24:02.000 --> 24:04.000
Oh, gosh, I...

24:04.000 --> 24:07.000
Oh, good luck. I really rested.

24:07.000 --> 24:09.000
Yes, indeed.

24:09.000 --> 24:10.000
I'll take the rest of the bones.

24:10.000 --> 24:12.000
Hey, you're breaking the machine here.

24:12.000 --> 24:14.000
Yes, you're breaking the...

24:14.000 --> 24:18.000
I feel pretty sorry for you. I know you're pretty tired.

24:18.000 --> 24:20.000
I get tired with those spooky machines, you know.

24:20.000 --> 24:25.000
But I hope you're going to start counting Howdy Doody's votes pretty soon.

24:25.000 --> 24:26.000
Yes, I suppose so.

24:26.000 --> 24:29.000
Wait, listen. Listen, son.

24:29.000 --> 24:31.000
You hear that? You hear that, kid?

24:31.000 --> 24:33.000
Sounds like the Aro-doodle.

24:33.000 --> 24:36.000
It is the Aro-doodle.

24:36.000 --> 24:38.000
Here she comes.

24:38.000 --> 24:41.000
Hey, happy landing. Happy land.

24:41.000 --> 24:44.000
Oh, this is wonderful. Hooray for Junior.

24:44.000 --> 24:47.000
Yeah, boy, I made the trip. Listen, listen, Orwell.

24:47.000 --> 24:48.000
Nice work.

24:48.000 --> 24:52.000
I made the trip in four minutes, 57 and a half seconds, flat.

24:52.000 --> 24:54.000
Next time, I'm going to have a big time.

24:54.000 --> 24:56.000
Yes, you did some nice loading here. We're going to take these right off.

24:56.000 --> 24:58.000
Carvel, where are you? Come over here and help me.

24:58.000 --> 25:01.000
Hurry up, folks. They're waiting to take off again.

25:01.000 --> 25:02.000
Take off everything.

25:02.000 --> 25:03.000
Yes, sir.

25:03.000 --> 25:04.000
Well, boy, I can hardly wait.

25:04.000 --> 25:05.000
Here's another batch up here.

25:05.000 --> 25:07.000
We've got hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands.

25:07.000 --> 25:09.000
Well, I knew there were over 15.

25:09.000 --> 25:11.000
Here's some more in here.

25:11.000 --> 25:13.000
This is wonderful, Bob Junior.

25:13.000 --> 25:15.000
Say, you did a magnificent job.

25:15.000 --> 25:16.000
Good night.

25:16.000 --> 25:18.000
Here, now, you take those over to Judge Archibald.

25:18.000 --> 25:20.000
Now, hurry up. You go up for another load, quick.

25:20.000 --> 25:21.000
Go ahead. Take off.

25:21.000 --> 25:22.000
That's it.

25:22.000 --> 25:23.000
So long.

25:23.000 --> 25:24.000
Wow.

25:24.000 --> 25:25.000
So long.

25:25.000 --> 25:27.000
Bring back a big load.

25:27.000 --> 25:29.000
Yes, sir. You know me.

25:29.000 --> 25:30.000
Oh.

25:30.000 --> 25:33.000
Yes, sir. Hooray for Junior.

25:33.000 --> 25:35.000
All right, now, here's the first batch of heavy duty boats.

25:35.000 --> 25:37.000
Come on, Judge. Get up and at them, man.

25:37.000 --> 25:39.000
We haven't got a minute to lose.

25:39.000 --> 25:40.000
Hurry up. Come on.

25:40.000 --> 25:41.000
Start counting.

25:41.000 --> 25:44.000
I'm so tired. I'm exhausted.

25:44.000 --> 25:46.000
I hope I can sleep for a little while.

25:46.000 --> 25:48.000
Oh, I'm sorry for you, Judge.

25:48.000 --> 25:49.000
Come on, start counting them.

25:49.000 --> 25:53.000
Because after the election, you can sleep for a year.

25:53.000 --> 25:55.000
Come on, start counting them, Judge.

25:55.000 --> 25:56.000
Are we padding on?

25:56.000 --> 25:58.000
We haven't got any time.

25:58.000 --> 26:00.000
I'm going right away.

26:00.000 --> 26:02.000
A job is a job and mine is to be done.

26:02.000 --> 26:03.000
I know that.

26:03.000 --> 26:04.000
I'm going to go.

26:04.000 --> 26:06.000
I know one boat can hold you through this.

26:06.000 --> 26:07.000
Carry on.

26:07.000 --> 26:09.000
I'm so tired.

26:09.000 --> 26:10.000
That's it.

26:10.000 --> 26:11.000
That's it.

26:11.000 --> 26:12.000
Come on, another one.

26:12.000 --> 26:13.000
Two votes for heavy duty.

26:13.000 --> 26:14.000
Atta boy, Dicky.

26:14.000 --> 26:15.000
Bells are ringing.

26:15.000 --> 26:17.000
Bells are ringing for me and my girl.

26:17.000 --> 26:18.000
Hurry up.

26:18.000 --> 26:19.000
There you go.

26:19.000 --> 26:20.000
Three votes for heavy duty.

26:20.000 --> 26:21.000
I know that.

26:21.000 --> 26:23.000
Atta boy, Arch.

26:23.000 --> 26:24.000
You stay right with it.

26:24.000 --> 26:29.000
Now, maybe it's impossible for you to get all my votes counted by two minutes to six tomorrow,

26:29.000 --> 26:33.000
but oh, try, Judge, try.

26:33.000 --> 26:38.000
Please stay awake and try, try, try.

26:38.000 --> 26:40.000
Yes, sir.

26:40.000 --> 26:42.000
See, isn't this wonderful?

26:42.000 --> 26:44.000
Look at this.

26:44.000 --> 26:48.000
Did you boys and girls know that the same people who make those delicious Fifth Avenue candy bars

26:48.000 --> 26:51.000
also make Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops?

26:51.000 --> 26:57.000
Well, they sure do, and that is why they're both so good.

26:57.000 --> 27:02.000
Oh, gosh, boy, I really love the flavor of Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops.

27:02.000 --> 27:09.000
And now, with the colder weather, it's time to start thinking about those annoying coughs due to colds.

27:09.000 --> 27:14.000
And that's when it's the time to think about Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops,

27:14.000 --> 27:21.000
because Luden's Wild Cherry Cough Drops are flavored to taste good and medicated to do good.

27:21.000 --> 27:25.000
And see, boys and girls, you can get your swell...

27:25.000 --> 27:33.000
Punch a balloon by sending in a wrapper for either a Fifth Avenue candy bar or an empty Luden's Wild Cherry Box.

27:33.000 --> 27:43.000
Just send your Fifth Avenue wrapper or Luden's Wild Cherry Box to Howdy Doody, Box 55, New York 14, New York.

27:43.000 --> 27:52.000
Oh, let me see. I'll have the strength there from the ballot, won't I? 243 for Howdy.

27:52.000 --> 27:59.000
Oh, 244 for Howdy.

27:59.000 --> 28:03.000
Oh, I see, Artie, you're beginning to move along there, huh?

28:03.000 --> 28:07.000
Gosh, now I'm using any chance of Howdy Doody to catch up in time, you know.

28:07.000 --> 28:11.000
Oh, I really have little chance at all with a very small phone.

28:11.000 --> 28:18.000
Oh, I see. Well, keep your chin up, Howdy. Keep it up, boy.

28:18.000 --> 28:19.000
Which way?

28:19.000 --> 28:21.000
That's right. And be with us tomorrow, kids.

28:21.000 --> 28:22.000
Yes, sir.

28:22.000 --> 28:29.000
Tomorrow we'll tell the story of whether your president will be Howdy Doody...

28:29.000 --> 28:30.000
That's him.

28:30.000 --> 28:31.000
...on the stretch.

28:31.000 --> 28:42.000
Oh, boys, and it can be me, kids, if...
