HAROLD LLOYD IN "THE KID BROTHER"
PROF. POWER ORIGINAL - MAMMOTH POWERS - STRENGTH - HEALTH MEDICINE SHOW
The recent death of "Prof." Powers has left his daughter Mary with the problem of carrying on the medicine show.
Flash", I'm sorry I let you persuade me to keep on with the show.
Forget it, Mary. It wouldn't be a show without you. Besides, everything's going to be O.K.
Sheriff Jim Hickory and his two oldest sons have made the family name famous throughout the country.
Harold, the youngest Hichory, was born on April Fool's Day. The stork that brought him could hardly fly for laughing.
We'll be leaving for the meeting directly... how about my Sunday shirt?
If anything happens to that shirt, young man, I'll whale the life out of you.
Hank Hooper, Harold's sworn enemy ever since Harold sold him a dozen door knobs for fresh eggs in the dark.
Well, I see the town raised the money for the dam all right.
It will be a big thing for Hickoryville.
And a bigger thing for you... eh, Sheriff?
Son, how many times have I told you we don't want any more trouble with these Hickorys?
Where is this metropolis of Hickoryville… and who signs the permits for the shows there?
Sheriff Jim Hickory... but he ain't got any use for medicine shows... he run the last one out of town.
You stay here, son... the town meeting's no place for boys.
Hi, Sheriff!
I've brought this show all the way from New York just to play your wonderful city.
Sheriff, I’d like you to autograph this little permit.

I'd rather see that much money in a real safe place.
You're hinting that it won't be safe with me?
I got some money in there... and I don't want to see it... mislaid!
Keep back... or some-one might get hurt.
Mr. Hickory, I... I don't know how to thank you.
Who told you my name?
Every one n the state knows the Hickory…

You mean my father and brothers.
You're modest... but I like you for it.
What's your name?
Where do you live?
With the Medicine Show... down by the river.
Goodbye!"

Never mind the letter... do those supper dishes.
Hickoryville May 6 State Treasurer:
The Hickoryville citizens have collected their share for the dam and it is now in my keeping.
We are now waiting further instructions from you regarding the dam money.
Respectfully Sheriff Jim Hickory
How does that sound to you?
Now you boys can sign it.
Goin' to the show?
That big medicine show in the village.
Who gave them permission to play here?
I thought I'd mail our letter.
Did you give them permission?
As you seem to be taking over the duties of sheriff... go down and stop the show.
This medicine is not only good for man and beast but is recommended as a furniture polish and for cleaning harness.
My father sent me down to stop the show... if you don't mind.
Now folks, on the count of three, this trick will prove that the little sheriff is out of sight.
Now folks, we will again be entertained by our little beauty!
If you don't stop the show, I'll have you arrested.
Where's your authority?
One moment, Sheriff, I've got a little present for you... first.
I'm giving you 24 hours to get out of here!
I'll get the key, Mr. Hickory...
The kid is as much at fault as anybody.
I'll attend to him when we get home.
Will these do for tonight?
Would you get me a glass of water, please?
Wouldn’t you rather have some hot coffee?
It's the wind.
Me and mama have come to take the girl home.
She can't stay here where there's no womenfolks. It ain't decent.
I suppose I'd better go.
Will you go with me to the celebration for the dam tomorrow?
Good night, Mary... I'm going to sleep in the barn.
Next morning...
MONEY COLLECTED FOR COUNTRY DAM SHERIFF JIM HICKORY REALIZES LIFE-LONG AMBITION
The money will now remaining the Sheriff's keeping until the celebration tomorrow when he will turn it over to the state officials who will be present.
Where's that Harold?
Sleeping in the barn.
The girl from the medicine show came home with him. She's asleep in the parlor.
Miss... I'm going to fetch you some breakfast.
Everything all right, miss?
Here's your breakfast, Miss.
Get to work... that boy Harold does more work than both of you.
...and if you fellows ever try anything like that again, I won't let you off so easy.
I'm earning my board at the Hoopers' by helping with the housework.
I'll get my wraps.
You go in and get her wraps... I want to speak to her a moment.
The older he grows. the worse he gets.
You boys better get dressed for the celebration.
Come on, you're going with me to the celebration.
If you don't go with me, you won't go with anybody.
The money for the dam has been stolen!
All I know is... I found the strong box open and the money gone.
Some one broke into your house, opened the box... and you didn't hear nothing?
It sounds funny to me...
Haven't you any clue, Jim?

I just got an idea who did this and I'm going out and get them.
We ain't satisfied with your goin' and I reckon you better stay here till we are.
Then I'll deputize my sons.
Boys, it's those two fellows with the medicine show. Bring them back here.
Son, you get hurt. This is a man's job.
Harold, aren't you going with your brothers?
You see... my father and brothers don't reckon much on me... and I guess they're right
I'm not what you think I am. I was just pretending.
But you can be what I think you are... without pretending.
...and no matter what anybody else thinks, have confidence in yourself and you can't lose.
Do you really believe in me?
There's that girl from the medicine show... and he's helping her to get away.
Pop, I reckon they got away.

Hello, SHERIFF
You keep him covered, Sheriff, while I get the money.
Help! Help! I can't swim!
I went clear beyond the county line but not a trace of them.
Jim Hickory, I believe you stole that money!
Let's put him under arrest and take the law in our own hands.
The leading citizen of Hickotyville may soon find himself at the end of his rope.
Son, you're a real Hickory!
