and now Sky King

[Music]

they ought to be at Oakdale by now take

it easy Penny we won't miss the circus a

whole hour before the show starts I know

but I don't want to miss any of it

otherwise how many years it's been since

I was at a circus

quite a few years on Grandma all right

now anyway I'm gonna eat hot dogs and

popcorn and cotton candy and soda pop

whoa take it easy there gal remember

we're invited to the sheriff's house for

dinner after the show save some of that

ferocious appetite huh

well here we are

[Music]

[Music]

we better check for the sheriff's office

first

hi Sheriff Annie Hello Larry Skye glad

you could make it down here I bring you

greetings from Sheriff Hargrove well

thanks a lot we're on time I mean for

the circus oh yeah sure you are

well I thought gee that there might have

been a change of plans or something

Penny's so excited about seeing the

circus that's all she can talk about as

a matter of fact I'm kind of interested

in that circus myself oh something wrong

I don't know

I got a state police bulletin this

morning on a man named Pete Wendell

seems he committed armed robbery and

Stanton about a month ago

and they believe he's in this General

vicinity

I'll show you the bulletin

I bet he'll try to hold

up you know with

an awful lot

and with all the crowds around it'd be

easy for him to slip away

seven feet tall

huh yeah a man seven feet tall shouldn't

be hard to find unless he's traveling

with a circus from town to town yeah

that's what I thought you mean this Pete

Wendell is seven feet tall that isn't

all of the description either

seems as though he was very fully

described by all the people that saw it

yeah large heavy jowls

bushy eyebrows big nose a big heavy

mustache with a face like that he could

go out on Halloween and play

trick-or-treat without a mask well I

don't see why the state police should be

having trouble spotting a man with a

description like that but I think the

Briggs circus ought to be a logical

place to look I Squad the fairgrounds

and have a look around

[Music]

all right

[Music]

hey young lady where can I find the

circus matters he's standing right in

front of his tent Mister hey

I'm sorry sir but this is a private

office the Midway is

oh hello it's you Sheriff sorry to

bother you right now Mr Briggs no bother

to greet an officer and his friends this

is Skylar King and his niece Penny how

are you Mr Briggs

how do you do sir and your Charming

niece won't you sit down

Sheriff I hope there's nothing wrong

with our permit after all our big show

starts in uh 20 minutes no there's

nothing wrong with your permit Mr Briggs

well if it's a question of a few passes

to you and your friends I'm always glad

to oblige the local constabulary I can

hardly wait to see your show

thanks for the passes Mr Briggs but

that's not what we came for oh forgive

me Sheriff bye lady beloved wife always

did say I talk too much always claimed I

was vaccinated with a photograph needle

Mr Braves do you have a seven foot tall

man working for you either as a

performer or perhaps a rastabout no no

man that high traveling with the show in

fact I don't know how a seven foot man

would get lost in the crowd what would

he do to disguise himself after all

seven feet is seven feet and besides we

have no man that high traveling with

this show as your show played Stanton

lately gosh about a month ago that's one

of our regular stops

say what's this all about the seven foot

man pulled an armed robbery in Stanton

about a month ago the fifth of March to

be exact if the March

why we cleared Stanton 24 hours ahead of

that we played uh Wyandotte on the sixth

besides we had a full day's Drive

there's no seven foot man traveling with

this show well have you put on any new

acts lately no all my acts have been

with me for years for years

wait a minute I did put on one specially

active calls himself popo the Clown

there's a knife and Hatchet throwing egg

in fact he took one of our girls and

trained her in two weeks what does he

look like Mr Briggs well good gracious

he's no seven feet tall

why he's not as big as Mr King here oh I

would say pop always his average height

maybe five nine or ten certainly no more

than that

can we have a look at him well I don't

like a disturb him right now after all

our grand March is scheduled in uh 15

minutes we won't take loans to Bricks

well I guess it'll be all right here's

the trailer right outside here but I'm

sure you're both wrong

Papa was not the sort of man to be

disturbed he's very temperamental all

these artists are the two hazardous Acts

my phone here's some folks would like to

meet you

this is Sky King and his Charming meets

Penny and this is Sheriff Larry Johnson

and this always wanted to see a clown

put his makeup on oh I'm sorry you're

too late Kenny that's all right you want

a lollipop

no thank you I'm afraid that's a little

too big even for me I wouldn't take this

one

new one I got lots of tricks I haven't

shared yet

makeup on what's his makeup got to do

with it you can see he's not seven feet

tall I've got an idea but I'll need your

help boy anything Mr King that is within

reason I'd like to check back with the

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

trailer's gone he usually keeps it right

here

In This Crowd Wendell could have driven

off in any direction

hurry where's your car I know there Skye

picked up the song where we'll try to

spot level from the air wait a minute

why do you keep calling Papa Wendell you

have no proof he tried to k*ll Skye how

much proof do you need we'll get that

group when we find Papa

hey what am I gonna do for a clown but a

nice performance

[Music]

no Briggs is Right Skye we don't have

any proof that Papa was Wendell

the description of the Bandit was just

the same

seven feet tall

how can a man be seven feet tall at noon

and less than six feet a few hours later

your guess is as good as mine Larry

thank you

no sign of him our best bet is to head

for the mouse before he has a chance to

pull off and hide once we get that

makeup off him and get a good look at

his face you'll be able to tell if he

matches the rest of the description I'm

afraid he won't Larry if he's as smart

as I think he is he's prepared for these

hold ups with an entirely different

makeup that faces Stratton the police

bulletin is obviously makeup

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

and this rainy weather forecast may

bring the relief for drought-stricken

areas now for news on the local scene a

bulletin from Oakdale reports that a

near Panic was averted at the freak

circus when during a night throwing act

a knife was thrown at a prominent

Rancher Mr Skyler King by a performer

named Papo the Clown

Mr King was reported to be unarmed

thousands of

I've just been handed a welcome from the

local police authorities the circus

clown who threw the knife at Mr King is

believed to be a fugitive from Justice

armed and dangerous escaping in a car

and trailer

police believe that the fugitive who has

been tentatively identified as Pete

Wendell may still be wearing his clown

costume and makeup a both in Rosendale

report

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

all right

[Music]

Skye Skye I think I see it it stopped

where over there let's go down for a

closer look

[Music]

thank you

that's Wendell's trailer all right

I think he might have left tried to

escape on foot I hope not it'd be pretty

hard to find in this rugged country

[Music]

oh we know he's down there he'll have to

get rid of that trailer if he expects to

make any speed hang on we'll Circle back

thank you

foreign

[Music]

can't see anything don't worry he's down

there all right

there's a sharp bend on the road up

ahead if I can distract him will try to

run him off the road

young lady

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

yes I I thought I told you to stay in

the plane I know I know stay in the

plane but I was worried about you

find anything

I sure did

here it is

the secret that turned a man five foot

nine inches tall into a giant of seven

feet

built to increase Wendell's height by

more than a foot so what every clown has

props sure they do a Wendell

what about this

there's a proper two

this is part of the loop from the

jewelry store in Stanton

all right well let's get out of here

look Skye there's more of the loot

ladies purses and watches and rings and

Mr King I was never more shocked than my

entire life when I found out that one of

my employees was a criminal well I know

exactly how you feel Mr Briggs but

you'll find dishonest people in every

Walk of Life

and now for you and your Charming niece

two lifetime passes to the great big six

well that's very kind of you Mr brace

speaking of Penny what'd you get to she

was here a while ago tonight

[Music]

my dear child I hope you haven't heard

yourself hurt myself I meant everything

I couldn't break and I still can't walk

in these things

look at them oh that's a pretty tough

problem but we do have an expert around

here don't be Larry oh why don't we put

her in with Papa with a clown he can

explain the whole thing oh no I'm not

anxious to see him again

I'll buy your parents to practice on
