"Movin' On" 1977 #1 (From Buckles)

Scan10780, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. This was a very popular TV Series of the day and starred Claude Akins and Frank Converse as two truck drivers who had been hired to move an elephant from an animal farm down to Florida. This picture shows "Anna May" and the animal farm owner just prior to him loading her into their truck. As they drive away he displays a large hypodermic needle with the line, "I hope she stays calm until she reaches Florida! While the drivers were eating at a truck stop, a tramp sneaks aboard the truck and immediately hi-jackers steal the truck, elephant, tramp and all. The police later find the truck abandoned in down town Columbia and after opening the doors, they have a wide-awake elephant on the run (as seen in Eric's picture above).
