The National Broadcasting Company presents Joel McRae in Tales of the Texas Rangers. From Hollywood, another authentic reenactment of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers. Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel McRae as Ranger Jace Pearson. Texas, more than 260,000 square miles. And 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement body in North America. Now, from the files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact. Names, dates, and places are fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record. Case for tonight, Fugitives Trails.
It is approximately 11.30 on the night of January 21st, 1948. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Purvis are driving back to their ranch on the outskirts of Newby, Texas. The car, a small black sedan, finally swings off the main highway, turns into a long, narrow dirt road leading to the ranch buildings.
Hmm, looks like we got company, Ben. There's a car parked in front of the house.
Yeah. Probably one of Arlene's boyfriends. Mm-hmm. Look, I thought you told her we didn't like her fellas hanging around.
Oh, now, Ben, he'd probably just have by to pick her up and take her home. We told her we'd be back about this time. Well, just the same... Now, don't crap about Arlene. You know, babysitters are hard enough to get out here without... I still think you could find somebody else.
I was never sold on that girl. She's kind of wild and unpredictable. Never know what she's going to do.
She's all right, Ben. Just stop worrying.
Looks like Dave Fenton's car. Yeah, that is his car.
You sit still, then. I'll open the garage doors.
Thought he and Arlene split up.
So did I. Must have patched things up again.
You got the plants Mrs. Sutton gave you?
Uh-huh, right here.
What sort of flowers are they going to be?
Yellow. Yellow. Miss Sutton told me the name, but I forgot. You can look real nice alongside the horsey, don't you?
Yeah, I guess so.
You know, Ben, I'm kind of glad we went over to see Miss Sutton tonight.
Yeah, she's a real nice old lady.
What is the introduction and setting of the 'Fugitive Trail' case?
Sure held up fine at the funeral this afternoon.
It's going to be hard on her for a while, though, poor thing. After all, she and Mr. Sutton were married almost 40 years. Now he's gone.
Yeah. Well... Doc warned him to slow down after that last attack he had. But no, he wouldn't hear it. Oh, it sounds like our young'un's acting up.
Well, he shouldn't be crying now if Arlene gave him his 10 o'clock bottle.
He'd just like her to forget.
Arlene, what... Ben, she's not here. That's funny. Arlene?
Probably in with the baby, Les. Hey, what's this?
What's the matter?
Look, chair's turned over and... What?
Look, my good table lamp on the floor. Oh, Ben, look, it's broken.
Hey, what the heck's been going on around here?
Arlene? Here, honey, you take the lamp. I'm going in to see the baby.
Arlene! There he is, that fool girl, anyway. Baby all right, Helen?
Uh-huh, his blanket was on the floor. He's just cold, that's all. See if Arlene's in the kitchen, will you, Ben?
All right. I'll be darned. Honey, come here a minute, will you?
Is Arlene in here, Ben?
No, look at this. What? Baby's bottle, full. Here's a woman pan. She didn't give him his feeding.
Oh, I wonder where she is.
I'm going to have a look out back. Doggone kids.
Careful on the porch, dear. Better turn on the light.
Okay.
Good Lord.
Ben? Ben? Ben? Ben, what's the matter?
