Bonanza - Enter Thomas Bowers | Episode 164 | WILD WEST | Western Series | Full Episode

[Music] do you realize that the stage is almost two hours late i do well well what why is the stage late i wouldn't rightly know ms gable all i know is the stage left st louis on time stupid man he doesn't know anything i only hope the stage gets here in time for the concert tomorrow night i knew it i just knew it now i'm not one to say i told you so sarah but it was a mistake to count on a singer that nobody's ever heard of much less seen you're just offended minnie because you're not singing at the concert but i think it's high time that we brought real culture to virginia city minnie may be right sarah for all we know thomas bowers may be just a nobody a nobody have you forgotten that letter from the lyceum bureau in chicago why he's compared to count mario the greatest living italian opera singer or they even call him the american mario you call that a nobody oh there's horse cartwright i've got to talk to him oh mr cartwright good morning miss gable i hope your father hasn't forgotten his promise to make the collection speech at the concert tomorrow night no ma'am he he charade he's got that thing memorized backwards and farts he's been practicing it for a week ma'am that's sure a fine thing you ladies are doing the benefit for the pouts they're certainly going to need that help after the winter they've just gone through oh yes those poor unfortunate people but i think that's the least we can do for our red brethren don't you yes ma'am i do stage coming what what happened to you plenty you trust me remember the ropes broke we lost all the luggage then later on we lost the wheel all the luggage yep uh mr bowers i'm mrs gable president of the virginia no ma'am my name is simpson charlie simpson in ladies novelties oh i had some lovely items to show you fair ladies but thanks to that fool driver all my merchandise is now at the bottom of the river ah i thought you were the famous singer thomas bowers uh no ma'am i'm thomas bowers you're thomas bowers i am madden [Music] you can't be uh i mean uh surely there's some mistake mr bowers must be exhausted from his harrowing trip sarah now aren't you going to take mister bowers to your house to freshen you know i have no guest room in my house uh there's a hotel up the street i'm sure you'll find accommodations there [Applause] [Music] you [Music] now we're going to do everything we can to get your lost luggage back for you well we'll send some men out first thing in the morning we'll even drag the river if necessary now you can't ask for more than that can you yeah you shouldn't have lost them in the first place can you tell me when the next stage leaves well that would be the one you were on take a day to clean it up put a new wheel on let's see day after tomorrow that'll be monday you mean there's nothing sooner sooner you're not thinking i'm leaving before the concert are you i have a feeling there's not gonna be any concert thank you [Music] pardon me yes my name is thomas bowers i'd like a room please beg your pardon i said i'd like a room please i'm sorry we're all filled up [Music] i see you thank you very much pleasure is all mine yes sir yes i'd like a nice large room uh with a bath if you have one yes indeed sir i can give you a room with a bath on the same floor how will that be that'll suit me fine will you please sign here sir but mrs gable the next issue the enterprise doesn't come out till monday that's two days after the concert is scheduled to be held oh my i forgot about that but you still haven't told me why you want to cancel a concert well isn't that rather obvious how am i ever going to explain to the ladies of the virginia city culture society that i hadn't known that thomas bowers was a was a a negro well that's not exactly what i meant isn't it mrs gable what did you mean oh mr walker it's all so embarrassing oh it shouldn't be but if you cancel the concert it will be for all of us well what do you mean well mrs gable as a self-appointed leader of cultural activities in virginia city you should have known all about thomas bowers quite famous you know has given concerts all over europe now it seems to me that if the color of his skin didn't bother queen victoria it shouldn't bother the fair ladies of virginia city queen victoria why mr walker are you trying to tell me that that thomas bowers sang for the queen why not he's considered to have one of the greatest voices in america i understand the queen was very pleased thank you mr walker you're a most persuasive man and then he gets off of the stage and says i'm thomas bowers you should have seen mrs gable's face looked like she was gonna take a fit right there in there [Laughter] speaker the devil i have some hammond eggs please and you've got money yes of course yes of course well that's too bad because we're all out of food then perhaps i might have a glass of water we're all out of water too [Music] you want a glass of water boy [Music]

of miles if i don't stop let them rest while we ain't gonna never make it and my lord shifted on me let him pull i go around the line spent too much time though i'm sure sam kylie the boys have figured out you're with me by now don't worry i don't carry a gun i think that since you're risking such a great deal on a total stranger you'll have a look at this i don't need no more proof read it please mrs amos gable virginia city nevada dear madam this will introduce thomas bowers who has graciously consented to fill the guest spot at your benefit concert best wishes for a successful concert respectfully arthur o'neill manager lyceum bureau chicago illinois well does that make you feel a little better i think you didn't you didn't show that uh miss gable she took one look at me and she was in an awful hurry to go in the opposite direction yep you look tired you'll get the house soon and you can relax i'd appreciate that i haven't had a good night's sleep since we left st louis yep all right johnny hi sheriff [Applause] what were silent boys off in such a hurry i reckon they're after the runaway slave runaway slave what are you talking about boy they they tell you about it in this well how did sam know about this do you show it to him i couldn't help but i was looking for you and that they grabbed it away from me well all right what's done is done i sure would like to know where them hot heads are off to anything sure yeah jed what the world happened you've been a fight yeah they made me tell them what horses take mr bowers i didn't want it so they who in the world did that to you sam kylie and the others i don't care if he hurts me as you said he would i just ain't going to let him get mr balance don't worry about that i won't let that happen but where was they heading the pond rosa they're after they miss coffee if they catch up with them they'll hurt him real bad thank you you've done the right thing dad yeah [Music] maybe it's about time i did oh oh this is mr thomas bauer's a famous singer buzz welcome to the ponderosa these are my brothers little joe and adam how are you mr bauer's had sort of a rough time on the stage and he needs some rest pretty bad paul i'm sorry to hear that well gotta make it comfortable joe i'd like to show mr bowers to the guest room gentlemen thank you very much it couldn't just be that he had trouble getting accommodations in town yeah that figures but that ain't why i brought him here the fact is sam kelly and a bunch of the boys are after they're on their way out here right now what after him what for oh they think he's some sort of a dangerous runaway slave or something but he ain't and i know he ain't well i wish i had your faith in human nature it was not to think what could happen to pov bowers is that runaway slave oh we can take care of kylie that's not what i mean you've heard of the dred scott decision no as it were just handed down by the supreme court a slave even in free territory is still the property of his master therefore an escaped slave is a fugitive from justice and anyone who offers him sanctuary is an accessory to the crime what kind of name law is that i know but nevertheless it's the law the new law of the land park could go to prison if bowers is the runaway slave slave well man i just brought upstairs yeah it was a warp for the arrest of a runaway slave in town and sam kyle and a bunch of the town loafers got in their head that mr bowers was that runaway slave house thinks that they're on their way out here what do they think they're going to do take them by force of course not bound to stay right here until there's positive proof of his identity man is innocent until he's proven guilty that's also a law of the land do you think you can convince kylie that here he comes oh howdy sam anything we can do for you uh no ben something we're gonna do for you we're gonna take that black off your hands take him back to the sheriff well if you're referring to mr bowers i'm afraid you've come out here for nothing look ben you're a law-abiding man you wouldn't be protecting any runaway slave would you or maybe hoss didn't tell you who it was he brought out here this morning well sam whatever horse did or did not tell me is none of your business it is my business benefit's a runaway slave no no it isn't and even if he were you still come out here for nothing it just so happens that the man inside is thomas bowers the world famous singer you can't prove that i don't have to sam want you and your boys just get along whatever has to be done we'll discuss with the sheriff first i'm warning you cartwright if you don't hand him over if we don't what are you gonna do about it oh hold on sam you said there wasn't gonna be no fighting don't you worry luke there ain't gonna be no fight sam just what do you think you're doing out here well i'm only trying to be a good citizen sheriff i'm trying to protect all of us from that runaway murderer they got in there he tried to kill me this morning with his bare hands yeah i don't reckon he cared too much for all that fine food you served him sam we just came out here to escort your prisoner back to town for you sheriff sam you ain't my deputy you know that but maybe you forgot when you read that wire addressed me mentioning about that reward money now you boys better get back to town right now come on fellas ben i got to talk to you about all this well go ahead roy where's bowers at inside wrestling i'm sorry but i'm gonna have to take him into custody now how come roy you ain't got no proof that he's that slave not yet no but i saw him in town this morning and from the description in that wire i can't say for sure that he ain't the slave and neither can you now what does that mean a borrower's come here from st louis didn't he well so the slave knowing it's just possible that he could have bushwhacked even killed bowers and took everything he had on him including that letter and posing his bowers wearing bowers with clothes got on that stagecoach for virginia city in that case ben you'd be harboring a murderer and an imposter hold on a minute it's a very easy way to settle it let's ask mr bobs to sing something he's a singer well i don't see what that'd prove most enslaves can sing yeah i guess i wouldn't be proof positive i guess we have no choice horse joe would ask mr bowers to come on right i'll go with it wait a minute now wait a minute paul you said that the law of the land was that a man is innocent until proven guilty right yes i did so what's a big hurd in taking him into jail roy horsey don't make no difference whether he's guilty or whether he ain't at this stage of the game i've got to take him into custody for the protection of well the people in virginia city and new cartwrights and the fell inside if he's really thomas bowers hey paul bowers is nowhere in the house he's gone [Music] hold it mister you ain't going nowhere i'm taking you into cut today he's doing it for you good mr powers oh is he now look i've been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but if you ain't that slave what are you trying to run off for because i've had enough of virginia city fair play because i think i'm the best judge of what's good for me i can't go along with that now i can stop a man like sam carly from doing something out in the open but i can't stop him from sneaking around in private getting people all stirred up you understand he's right he's absolutely right there's no telling how far a man like sam kylie will try to go yes yes i know well i suppose i don't really have any choice in this matter do i not till i get positive identification now as soon as i get back to town i'll wire st louis for pictures and further information but that's gonna take a few days meanwhile you better come along with me [Music] so see your move house you moved there right you don't seem to have your mind on the game you got another visitor and what i hear about her cooking she's gonna be more than welcome you'd be more than welcome with or without cooking how do you do miss caroline there's enough here for you too mr cartwright have some well thank you ma'am i might just do that oh this is wonderful wonderful you will stay and have some with us won't you no i have to get home to par he's waiting for his lunch too oh yes i heard what happened to your father i'm very sorry oh pause fine better than ever well i'm glad to hear that still i can't help but feel that if i hadn't come here all of this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't come here mr bowers paul may never have faced something very important i hope you enjoy your lunch oh we we will thank you very much bye mr smith i'll be back later to pick up the dishes share and the old time is caroline thomas gable oh this is just too much sheriff it's too dreadful i've just heard the news about mr bowers or whoever the man is with all those tickets sold and people coming from miles around to hear the great opera singer so what shall i do well you can always get a substitute now minnie watkins has just been chomping at the bit to sing now that's impossible i've already turned her down once and i won't humiliate myself by asking her now well that's up to you all i know is that bowers won't be able to make it bowers from the very first i was against heaven that man sing you were of course only i'll let mr walker talk me out of canceling the the concert how will i ever explain to the audience that the great opera singer that i've been advertising all over town is nothing but a runaway slave wanted by the police now mr gable i'm afraid you got your facts confused now mr bowers and the runaway slave are two distinct personages it's just that we ain't sure which one we got in the jail cell there what's the difference you and i both know they're all alike never mind horse i've heard that kind of talk before many many times yeah foreign heard it enough that he'd finally get used to it no you'll never get used to it oh i do hope there won't be a hitch oh i wonder how they'll take my announcement that you're going to sing well look who's here well look at that walking right in here as though they're as good as other folks got a lot of gall coming in here jet you got a short memory you don't frighten me anymore mr kylie maybe you can still hurt me you don't frighten me anymore maybe we'll see about that some other time chad i am a man of peace but i ain't running away anymore excuse me carolyn jen a couple of seats for you thank you mr cartwright it's a free country ain't it those cartwrights think they own the whole town did you see that hey pipe down sam the fun's beginning ladies and gentlemen i regret to tell you that due to unavoidable circumstances our famous guest star thomas bowers will not appear tonight uh mrs gable why don't you tell him why he's not going to be here because we're being cheated there ain't no thomas bowers it's just that runaway slave over there in the jail and you can thank me that he's over there not free to run around and kill somebody yeah we want our money back we want our money back quiet please ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen will you please be quiet please and let's not forget why we're holding this concert it's for a worthy cause so that we can buy food and medicine and supplies for uh an indian tribe that needs your help and they need your help this year very badly you know that [Applause] thank you mr cartwright as i was saying before i was so rudely interrupted miss minnie watkins has graciously consented to stand in for mr bowers and furnish us with several of her delightful selections but first our esteemed pianist simon reed will open our concert with the uh the turkish rondo by wolfgang mozart where's the sheriff probably in his office oh i didn't look there i thought everybody's gonna be here i got this message here for about that runaway slave come on let's go [Music] sheriff roy coffey virginia city nevada henry your inquiry runaway slave hezekiah randolph latest report confirms he is not in your territory last seen heading for canadian border gee williams chief of police saint louis missouri what i'll tell you well don't just stand there gaping boy get over to mrs gable at the concert hall and tell her mr bars will sing yes sir right away bowers we got some good news for you you're free i heard this is just in time for you to get over the concert for your first song i don't intend to do any singing here what try and put yourself in my place mr cartwright try and imagine yourself being hated despised for no reason whatever from the moment i stepped off the stage into this town i've been treated like something sub-human an animal how could you ask me to sing for people like this mr bowers a man a sensitive man like yourself surely realizes that the sam kylie's of this world must find someone they can belittle someone they can make for you subhuman in order to somehow make themselves feel more important superior i'm not worried about the sam kylers and that kind i made up my mind a long time ago not to have anything to do with him but tom what what about all the other folks i mean that that hall over there is packed plum full of folks that came just to hear you saying don't fool yourself they came to see a freak a black man that sings italian opera that's better than a dancing bear oh yeah i guess i'd better get over to the concert hall and tell him you won't be singing i'd appreciate that well i'm sorry to let you down horse don't worry about that tom you know sort of funny it's kind of hard to explain but it's it's like well it's it's sort of like you ain't acting no different from that miss gable i know you're angry i can understand that good lord only knows you got plenty of reason to be tom supposing the whole town was against you now are you going to change anything or make anything better by by running out you know i sort of had you figured for a braver man in that tom look here there's some folks it's gonna always be on your side then of course there's always gonna be a few that ain't never gonna be and we both know that don't we but what about all them other folks that ain't made up their minds yet and that hall over there is packed plum full of folks just waiting to make up their minds are you going to pass up this opportunity by running out on them too [Music] up here to be [Music] [Music] so beautiful [Music] wounded and made me fall in love it will never be erased from my heart [Music] the thought that my heart the thought that i had [Music] [Music] [Music] hey sam i bet you never thought you'd get knocked flat for one of them opry singers huh get a big mouth you know that thank you very much you've been very kind say it's another mr bowers i'd be very happy to from the works of the distinguished composer of italian opera rossini i'd like to sing the
