Hoppy & the Wild Young Filly from London
Most Hopalong Cassidy stories are similar . . . . In fact, most cowboy classics from the 1930’s and 1940’s follow a familiar path . . . . But once in a while the formula for a good cowboy adventure gets tossed into the camp fire and we have an entirely different kind of story. This is one of those stories. I would call it a cowboy comedy, but I might be biased . . . I’ve been married. This story might answer the question of why cowboys kiss their horses and spank their ladies.
Hopalong Cassidy is the ranch foreman for a cattle ranch owned by the L.D. British syndicate. As our adventure opens three dandies from London are getting off the stage coach on their way to California. Aunt Martha is accompanying her niece Lorna and the young girl’s fiancé Ronald. They will be visiting the L.D. ranch for a day or two and then on to California.
Young Lorna is a strong-willed girl . . . . Perhaps the poster child for ‘woman power’ . . . . . Every one she meets, everyone she encounters, becomes a challenge for her to conquer . . . . No man will ever tell her what to do. This is the gal that will be introduced to Hopalong Cassidy, and this is the gal that will make Hopalong Cassidy her next target. Lorna will have Hopalong Cassidy eating out of her hand and obeying her every wish . . . . Or else.
When she first encounters Hopalong she bosses him like he was her indentured servant, and Hoppy . . . . Well . . . . Hoppy is Hoppy, and he will ignore this young gal and laugh her commands off, until . . . . Hoppy discovers that Lorna Drake from London is the L.D. syndicate that owns the ranch that employs Hopalong Cassidy.
No worries, Hopalong can still refuse to be ordered around by the young bossy woman from England, he will quit his job and move on to the next ranch. Lorna isn’t worried either . . . . She will have Hopalong Cassidy behind jail bars before he can get out of the territory. This gal means business, and Hopalong has never encountered an opponent as intelligent and forceful and determined as this young gal. This may be the gal that gets her lasso around Hopalong Cassidy, and make him her love-slave . . . . Or maybe not . . . . Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.
