Snookum Bears On A Rampage

[Music] Bears who live near a ranch and this is destined to be the first of two red letter days for them when opportunity intends to knock and how seldom the smartest people ever a hear opportunity knocking the snook and bears are pretty smart when all hands have left the ranch in the morning they see their first opportunity and off they go to pay a call at the ranch house Eddie snookum is the oldest and wisest he knows the ranch has valuable horses because he's heard the Cowboys tell tall tales about winning races with one of them any he has a tall tail also and nobody doubts it not even his friend in fact doin has only a good word to say for Eddie and he says it cows Eddie doesn't that's different now the coast is clear and Eddie leads the way to the bunk house he's been there many times and knows where everything interesting is to be found this isn't the first time they tried to taste the Shaving lotion and there's a wonderful animal smell about that brush although they can't quite decide where the bristles grew in the first place they smell so nice here's something that really has taste appeal it looks so good that some way must be found to get at it and when the snook and brothers decide to do something depend upon it they'll find the way it's just a matter of getting it over to the edge of the dresser and then anything that looks so good tastes all right for a few mouthfuls Edie has tasted Cold Cream he prefers the brush the gang's all here now and all very happy if we can believe tall tals hello somebody's coming whoever would have expected the ranch hands but it's later than they think and time for hardworking man and Beast to rest up for another day it's very early morning when the snook and bears bester themselves and much too early for Cowboys to be awake unless of course course the Mischief Makers decide otherwise Eddie for instance he never can resist an opportunity to tease what Blissful peace now a little tickle with the whiskers and that does it so Eddie hides back to sleep and Eddie grows bolder calls his Pals and they don't need a second invitation which means that a sleeping man might just as well give up whereupon the snook and bears decide there is nothing to fear this is a chance to behave like kittens that wouldn't think of doing anything mischievous almost Angelic enough to sprout wings a breakfast table soon puts the snook and bears back into character who can resist good food already ready and waiting there won't be much left by the time the Cowboys get here but that doesn't bother Eddie and his Pals not a bit he isn't satisfied with what he has must get his nose right into the box and into trouble because he can't get rid of it and now he is in a fix can't see where he's going here's a real pal ready and willing to help but Eddie's okay now now there will be trouble two heads are not better than one they're worse than one when impatience throws caution to the winds look out there it goes and here go the culprits as fast as their short legs can carry [Music] them and now opportunity begins to knock they discover the ranch Bell Eddie's education progresses and his Pals learn something too now to experiment with the gadgets he not only discovers the headlight control but he leans on the horn button this discovery can be valuable me while the ranch Bell gets a workout and clangs Away what with the horn and the auto and the ringing Bell they've discovered how to make plenty of noise when evening comes again they seek new quarters where the sweet smell of hay and all is quiet except for a big cluck Eddie decides to throw him out this is no place for a cluck and no place for Eddie apparently but he doesn't give up not until the idea Dawns that he who turns away may live to fight another day Chow call brings them on the run and marks the end of another perfect day with every want satisfied to the full they settle down for what they think is going to be a quiet peaceful night nearby is Thunderbolt and certain Desperados have planned to get possession of that fleet-footed horse all is quiet and they're sure the coast is clear for a moment Eddie sharp ears hear strange voices not friendly voices and Eddie goes for help they have a suspicion of trouble now to get a sleepy Cowboy awake but it's a tough up and there's not much time any other time he'd wake up right away Eddie had better think of something else his pal tries a heavy glass ashtray meanwhile Eddie remembers that auto horn and the bright headlights his pal learned something too finally after all else fails [Music] now for some real action Eddie throws a little light on the subject drop that horse's Bridal and put up your hands so you were going to steal the fastest horse in the county and win a lot of purses eh well from now on you'll see all your races through the bars of a nice comfortable [Applause] cell Eddie and his Pals have a grandstand seat for a Grand Slam battle with plenty of punch it's the end of a perfect day or almost the perfect part comes when their pal the cowboy tells them they are house guests from now on so that's how the snook and bears heard old man opportunity knocking and held on to him tight
