The Wilder Ride

We begin with Jim standing across from Bart with the chess table between them. Jim asks if Bart is ready? Bart says he is. Jim blows air across the tips of his fingers on his right hand and readies himself. He suddenly yells, Go! Sheriff Bart slaps his hands instantly around the King. But, when when opens them to reveal it, it isn't in his hands. Bart is incredulous. Jim then asks, "Are you looking for this?" as he pulls the king out of his holster. Bart exclaims, "Well raise my rent, you are the Kid!" However, Jim corrects him, telling him he "was" the Kid. After asking for details, Jim reveals how it got to the point that every pissant prairie punk wanted to try out The Waco Kid. We close with him saying he must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille.

We open with Sheriff Bart challenging Jim's claim. He says, "Well, if you the Kid, then show me something." Jim says he could have a few years ago. He then raises his right arm. Bart says it looks steady as a rock. Then Jim brings up his left arm, which is in convulsions. Sheriff Bart immediately dismisses him, saying he is pulling his lariat. Jim smiles and looks happy and ready to accept the challenge. He stands and then tells Bart to place his hands on either side of his king. He then says, "When you hear the word go, you try to grab it first."

The scene continues in the jail cell. Sheriff Bart asks Jim what he likes to do? Jim considers and says he likes to play chess. He then adds he likes to screw. Bart immediately suggests a game of chess. We then cut to the game in progress and just as Bart makes a move, he calls out checkmate. Jim is impressed and they toast to Bart's victory. Sheriff Bart then asks why Jim seems bent on drinking himself to death. As the episode comes to a close, Jim reveals he used to be called, "The Waco Kid." Bart does not believe him at all, mocking that the Waco Kid had the fastest hand in the West. Jim corrects him, "...in the world!"

The episode begins with Sheriff Bart helping Gene Wilder sit. Gene then grabs a bottle of bourbon from under the pillow. Bart suggests he should eat something first. He responds by saying food makes him sick before downing the rest of the bourbon. Sheriff Bart comments that a man who drinks like that without eating, he is going to die. Gene looks blankly back and asks, "When?" Bart then asks for his name. He says, "Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me...Jim." We end the episode with Sheriff Bart asking what Jim would like to do next?

We open with Sheriff Bart, having heard a noise, moving to the door to jail cell. Gene Wilder's character is hanging upside down from the top bunk. Bart asks if he is awake? Gene looks quizzically from his upside down position and asks, "I don't know. Are we...black?" Bart replies, "Yes, we are." Gene responds, "Then we're awake, but we're very puzzled." Sheriff Bart enters the cell and helps the man up and then starts to sit him on the bottom bunk.

The episode opens with Harriet Johnson taking to the stage to read the letter she has written to the governor. As she begins, it is hard to hear her soft voice. When the citizens complain, she apologizes for her lack of public speaking experience. She then bellows to the point that everyone nearly jumps out of their seats. She expresses the town's displeasure at the governor's choice for their new sheriff. As she finishes, she is greeted with a round of applause and a herd of cattle running through the back of the church. As the minute comes to an end, Bart is hanging some wanted posters up on the wall of the jail when he hears a noise from cell number two.

The episode opens with the continuation of Sheriff Bart taking himself hostage. He continues to yell for help, but the citizens are powerless.

The episode opens with Bart deciding he needs to also point a gun at himself. Taking on two personalities, Bart issues a threat to the people of Rock Ridge. He says the next man makes a move and the gets it. People begin to lower their weapons. Now playing the part of a stereotypical slave voice, he begs for everyone to listen to his captor. As Bart backs himself down the stairs and across the square the citizens can only stand back and watch, powerless to help.

We continue today with sheriff Bart slowly trotting toward the center of town. The citizens are agape as he gets off his horse and walks to the platform. He pulls the welcome sign back down and ascends the stairs. As he reaches the podium, he utters the famous line, "'Scuse me while I whip this out!" The townsfolk scream before realizing he's just getting out the order signed by the governor. As he reads his appointment, he becomes well aware that most of the men in town are cocking their guns and taking aim. As Bart finishes reading the order, Revered Johnson holds up the bible and demands they all pay heed to the Good Book and what it says. Someone shoots out the center of the Bible and all Reverend Johnson can do is turn to Bart. With a cocked eyebrow he says, "Son, you're on your own."

While the band is playing, Gabby Johnson looks back through his telescope. This time, the image of Bart is clearer and he can see he is a black sheriff. Gabby tries to inform the citizens of Rock Ridge that the sheriff is a... Unfortunately, the church bell happens to GONG just as he says the word. The welcoming committee wonders what he is saying. One suggests that the sheriff is near. Gabby, infuriated over being misheard, utters some authentic frontier gibberish and tries to tell them a second time. Again, the bell gongs just in time to prevent us from hearing the racial slur. As Sheriff Bart rounds the corner, the band suddenly stops playing and the citizens are aghast. Howard Johnson isn't watching and begins to read his speech, looking up only in time to utter a racial epithet. Just as Bart comes to a stop, the welcome sheriff sign suddenly rolls itself up as the citizens continue to stare.
