Opening on May 12 in North Hollywood, Buck Jones Wild West Shows and Round Up Days closed on July 21 in Danville, Illinois. Unbeknownst to Buck, his front-end manager D.T. Pilchard had been pocketing the money and not paying the bills. (Some sources say that Copeland was also in on some of the skullduggery.)

After the show folded, Buck went to the hotel where Pilchard was staying and hung around the lobby with a loaded gun, waiting for him to show up. (Fortunately, he never did!)
