Chapter 2
THE TRAIL TO TULSA

Page 1
1
(A stagecoach on the way…)
2
Halt! (Bo stopping the coach)
3
(Coach stopping)
4
If. you had any sense, stranger, you would cover up your face, so no one could give a proper description of you! Here's the box, but don't bother, it's empty! (Max, the coachman)
5
I firmly believe you, Max! But I doubt that you could give a proper description of me! I reckon you haven't looked to closely! (Bo)
6
Why, I'll be a doggoned son of a bitch! If. it isn't Bo Travers! Gus! Take a look! (Max)
Ain't necessary! I can smell him from way in here! (Gus)
7
Come out of there and say hello to your blood relation, you cheeky bastard! (Bo)
8
Sure… I just wouldn't spoil your fun… I see, you're still wearing that stinking uniform! (Gus)
I tried to get rid of it, but no one would have it…(Bo)

Page 2
1
(Inside the stagecoach)
I tried to get hold of a mine way up north and had it almost figured out, when that telegram arrived… It sure was great, that Ma found that old deed after all these years! (Gus)
2
Deed? So you're THE Travers family… I mean that story about the deed… (Hank)
3
What story about the Deed?! It's a family secret, and the only thing the telegram said was: "I found it!" Only a family member would know, what THAT meant! (Gus)
4
No offence! You have been a long time under way, and just recently a gang got away with it… There was a hold-up at your farm… I'm sorry about that, gents, but rumors travel fast around here…
5
Heck! And I almost had my hands on a million-dollar claim! Now it's all… gone with the wind! (Gus)
6
When I addressed you about that… unlucky state of affairs… it is because I myself need a man with a nose for gold… and a man, who can handle a gun… just like you two guys! Mr. Rusty Russell here has already accepted to assist me in my search, which have, I regret to say, been fruitless until now… (Hank)
Ehh… What do you mean, exactly? (Gus)
7
You know these maps… drawn by Indians… A story told in symbolic pictures… You start in the middle of the spiral and work your way out… This Indian has found something valuable… and very much so! Gold, no less! But alas I know only little about this symbolic language… (Hank)
8
I might be able to help you, but so might others! Why are you picking us? It looks like some chance you are taking on our loyalty, Mr…? (Bo)
Hank Jackson… Well, I don't, but I guess I'll have to trust anyone, who dare to join up with me… (Hank)
9
I'm in on it… I guess I have nothing to loose… now! (Gus)
Me too… (Bo)

Page 3
1
Hotel Belle, Tulsa…
Help! Help! (from outside the room)
2
What was that? (Gus)
Sounded like our neighbor, Hank! Come on, Gus! (Bo)
3
Help! Help! (Gus and Bo forcing their way in)
4
Dam it! It's too late! He went out the window… Took my gun first, so I couldn't shoot! (Hank)
5
There's nobody here… He has vanished… (Bo looking out the window)
Don't tell us he was out to get the Indian map! (Gus)
6
He was, and he got it! (Hank)
What happened? (Rusty appearing in his underwear)
7
Some genius stole our map! (Bo)
What do we do? (Gus)
8
Without the map I quit! I've heard enough about that district, and I won't go out there without knowing exactly where to go! (Rusty)
What's so special about that? (Gus)
9
It's a haunted district… No one gets out from there alive! There is told to be a special tribe of Indians there lead by a mean chief named Black Wolf! (Rusty)

Page 4
1
A few miles from the farm…
Is that the trail? (Half blod boy Billy)
Sure, Billy! Can't you see, how that damn coyote has dragged White Pearl along? (Mec)
2
Now hush up! It must be right here! (Mec)
3
White Pearl! (Looking down discovering the rabbit)
4
I'll get him for that! (Mec lifting remains up)
5
No you won't! Don't move! Drop your gun, sister! (Al)
6
Now move! I don't know how you trailed us, we'll have to… (Mec bending branch to one side)
7
Ouch! (Branch swirping over Al's hand making him drop the gun while Mec reaches for her rifle)
8
Now you'll move up front, you creep, and then we would like to hear your story! (Mec)
Shall we not return to the farm? (Billy)
9
And let the rest get away, when this one doesn't come back? We cannot spoil our chance of getting the whole gang! (Mec)
You're right, I guess… (Billy)

Page 5
1
Later
(Opening in the forest with a cabin)
2
YOU'RE SURROUNDED! Throw out your guns first, and then come out one by one with your hands up! (Mec)
3
Maybe it's a trick… Show 'em, Frank!
Yeah, there is one of them! (Frank raising rifle)
4
Zip! (Bullet nearly hitting Al forced into the open by Mec)
Now tell 'em, buster! (Mec with Al at gunpoint)
5
STOP SHOOTIN'! It's true enough! They got me! Augh!
6
Damn it! It was Al! (Frank)
Of course! They wouldn't be stupid enough to show themselves… This is too much for me! I'm getting out… We should have left this place long ago!
7
I Guess maybe you're right… I have a plan…
8
They are coming out… All three of them! (Billy)
9
That's fine now! (Mec stepping forth)
It's only a GIRL!

Page 6
1
(Frank is hurling himself forward but does not get the gun before Mec has hit his hand)
Argh!
2
(Frank continues to get gun in opposite hand before Mec can reload)
Now get to it, Billy! (Mec)
3
(Billy aims with Al's gun)
4
(Arrow hit Al in the back)
Arrh…
5
(Indians appear from around the place)
6
(Reactions from bandits, bewildered)
7
(Indians approaching closer now, Mec and Billy also have to lay down their guns)
8
I didn't see them coming, Mec…(Billy)
Me neither… Don't blame yourself… (Mec)
9
(Indians capturing them all)

Page 7
Evening in Stillwater…
Don't worry, Ma! She's probably still tracking down that raccoon… (Phil)
2
Yes, but I saw Billy went with her, and she always comes back in the evening when he is along… (Ma at window)
3
Somebody's coming… That must be her! (Ma)
Knock Knock
4
Strange… She never knocks at the door… (Grampa)
Come in! (Ma)
5
Howdy, folks… (Luke)
Who the blazes is he? (Phil)
6
He-he! You can put down your gun, Phil! It's just Trapper Luke! (Grampa)
Luke Potter! (Luke)
7
Phil Travers! (Phil)
Much obliged! (Luke)
8
Put down your fur and hide and grab a bite to eat… (Grampa)
9
Now… I just came by to… tell you something… ehh… better say that first, I guess… (Luke)

Page 8
1
You see, I was on my way down with some fur, as you know… so I just thought I would look in here to see, if Mec had something as well… (Luke)
2
She usually has… But she hasn't come home yet, and neither has Billy, who followed her… (Ma)
Ehh… yeah, hmm, that was… just what I was coming to… now… ehh… (Luke)
3
You see… I saw this Indian tribe on my way here… never saw them so close before… belong more south of here… but, well, they had a few scalps… fresh…(Luke)
4
NO! (Ma)
5
No, I didn't notice Mec's scalp among them… or Billy's for that matter, but of course I couldn't get close enough, so I really don't know… They were heading south… (Luke)
6
If. Mec doesn't come home tonight I'll have to go looking for her first thing in the morning… I hope i can rely on you, Luke? (Phil)
You can! (Luke)
7
Then I'll go with you, too! (Dora)
YOU? Now look here, this is a man's job… Ain't that so, Luke? (Phil)
8
Well, if I loose my scalp, I would appreciate a woman's tender care to place the bandage… If. That's done fast and proper you stand a chance… I once knew a man, who lived twenty years after loosing his scalp! (Luke)
You must be kidding! Who? (Phil)
9
Me… (Luke removes his fur cap)

Page 9
1
So Phil, Dora and Luke set out on the search for Mec and Billy…
He-he… (Luke)
What's so funny? (Phil)
2
This is Mec all right… She has followed a coyote, who has dragged something white after him… (Luke)
3
I remember! White Pearl was one of her rabbits… Mec said it had disappeared the night before last… (Dora)
4
Here it is! A third person joined them here… (Luke)
Indian? (Phil)
No… Definitely a white man! (Luke)
5
Lots of Indians now… I guess something must have happened around this cabin… (Luke)
6
Phil! Luke! (Dora, discovering someone))
7
Don't take my hat off, Ma'am! It's not a pretty sight, I fear… (Al)
Don't worry… We're prepared for that… (Luke)
8
He-he… Nice handwork of that Indian, just like mine… Congratulations, colleague! When you haven't lost your consciousness yet, and Dora here makes a fine bandage you should stand a fair chance of surviving… just like me! Good thinking to put on your hat again… (Luke)
9
What happened to the others… and Mec, the girl, and Billy Boy? (Phil)
Don't know… I guess they scalped them all… (Al)

Chapter 3
THE HUNT
Page 1
1
Reno River (Hank, Gus and Bo crossing)
What makes you think this is any better? (Gus)
Best place to cross the river… (Bo)
2
How could you remember that map? It looks crazy to me! (Bo)
No… You see that cliff? (Hank)
3
Sure… (Bo)
It was on the map… And I have drawn it there on the reconstructed map… (Hank)
4
Now what? (Gus)
Now it's your turn, I guess… Smell any gold? (Hank)
5
No… But I could chew a little sapodilla… (Gus)
What? (Hank)
6
A joke… That's what used to be a good sapodilla tree… Rather seldom around here… Indians used to tap the sap and after a while chew it for fun! (Gus)
7
I thought I was the one who knew about Indians! Good thing you said it, though, 'cause there was an Indian chewing his head off on the map… We're on the track! (Bo)
8
(Indians on the look-out)
9
So are others… I am afraid Rusty was right… I've seen some Indians keeping an eye on us for the last few miles… (Hank)

Page 2
1
The three men continue their search…
2
Looks like someone has been here before us… And not so long ago… (Bo)
3
Indians? (Hank)
No… They don't shoe their horses… But then again, they might be stolen… (Bo)
4
Smell any gold, Gus? Or are you still longing for sapodilla? (Hank)
I smell some hot lead coming up… Down, Bo! (Gus)
5
(They all throw themselves into hiding)
6
Could have been Mec… (Gus)
She wouldn't be foolish enough to hide where you soon will get the sun in your eyes… (Gus)
7
We cannot wait for that… (Bo)
No… Say, those big buttons really look like silver! (Gus spotting Bo's uniform buttons)
8
Yeah… HEY! (Gus is ripping off a button)
9
Now listen! (Bo)

Page 3
1
(Stick with some buttons held up from behind a rock)
2
(Flashes of light seen from the ambush)
3
(The shootist putting up his hand to protect his eyes from the reflexes)
4
Now RUN! (Bo is running)
5
(The shootist firing but his aim is distracted by the reflexes)
6
(Meanwhile Hank is keeping Bo covered)
7
(Bo reaches his new cover)
8
Whew! So far so good! Now I must try to get behind him… Only hope he is alone! (Bo)
9
(Bo is looking at some big feet that we see in the foreground… He is surprised)

Page 4
1
What's keeping Bo? He should have been over there by now! (Hank)
2
Yeah… Now it's the third time that gunman almost hit me and my stick! Sure could use some of that sapodilla-sap right now! (Gus)
3
No more ammunition for the rifle… And this won't hold him for long! (Hank)
4
(Hank shoots, Gus is fixing his reflexing contraption)
5
Argh! (The shootist hits Hank in his hand)
6
Looks like I'll have to hold the stick in my left hand and use your sixshooter with my right! (Gus)
I'm sorry I brought you out on this search! (Hank putting handkerchief around his hand)
7
Never mind… Daddy always used to say: "If. you don't live to regret it, it doesn't matter, and if you DO live, why bother?"
8
Those were the kind of clever words that we desperately need right now! (Hank)
9
No! Those were the stupidest words ever uttered! (Gus with bullets zipping close by)

Page 5
1
Hands up! (Bo behind the shootist)
2
What?! (The shootist turning round firing… Only now we see that it is Rusty)
3
(Bo throws himself to one side)
4
(Gus is firing)
5
Argh! (Gus is hitting Rusty's rifle so he drops it)
6
Now you get up, Rusty! (Bo)
7
(Bo coming down with Rusty at gunpoint)
Rusty! So it was him, who stole the map! (Hank)
Well, you cannot trust an honest face these days! (Gus)
8
The map! (Bo)
I haven't got it… (Rusty)
9
Search him! (Bo)
With pleasure! (Gus)

Page 6
1
It's here… In his left boot… (Gus)
Well, well, so you planned a business of your own! (Hank)
2
Your wit is spoilt on me! I've got more right to it than you! (Rusty)
How come? (Hank)
3
My grandmother was an Indian… (Rusty)
And the one I had to knock down was even more entitled to it, since he was a pure Indian! (Rusty)
4
So they do follow us! Maybe we'd better get out of here… I don't like the surroundings at all… There could be snipers everywhere… (Gus)
5
From what I can see, we should be near the end of our journey very soon… It's only a few miles from here… (Hank)
6
In the meantime other Indians have discovered, what has happened to their look-out…
7
… And many eyes follow the break-up of the palefaces…

Page 7
1
Luke, Phil and Dora has brought the wounded Al back to the farm and continue at the trail of the Indians hoping to find Mac and Billy…
2
It was about here I saw them… There were at least twenty braves… They rode south from here, but they rode close together, so I couldn't make out, if they had any captives… (Luke)
3
Look! (Dora)
What is it? (Phil)
4
Grampa's silver clock with the two diamonds! (Dora)
5
I was teaching Mec the time the evening before last, and we borrowed Grandpa's clock… That little rascal must have forgotten to hand it back! (Phil)
6
But why is it here, then? She wouldn't drop it on purpose, would she? (Dora)
She would… (Luke)
Why? (Phil)
7
I'm stupid as a mule! Guess I must be growing too old… I was howling like an owl, when they rode by! That's a signal! Mec knows that, and she can tell it from a genuine howl of an owl, so I figured she would answer me, if she heard… But of course she couldn't! The Indians would know right away! Instead she dropped the ol' ticker! (Luke)
8
Pretty sly family, we've got! (Dora)
9
True! A shame it cannot be told… Grampa would throw a fit, if he ever found out that someone would drop his silver clock on purpose in the middle of nowhere! (Luke)

Page 8
1
A few hours later…
Whooa! (Luke)
2
Two more… scalped! (Luke)
Dead? (Hank)
3
Yep! (Luke)
So they are two more of the bandits, who stole the deed? (Dora)
4
IF.it's true what Al said… But he didn't expect to live, so I guess so… And neither of these two has the deed, so the fourth one must still have it… (Phil)
5
Or one of the Indians might have it… That is, if it still exists… (Luke)
6
It doesn't leave much of a chance for us to find it… The Indians probably searched their victims for valuables, but they wouldn't care for a piece of paper… (Phil)
7
No matter… If.only we find Mec and Billy alive… (Dora)

Chapter 4
BLACK WOLF

Page 1
1
Billy! Billy! (Mec)
2
Wh… What? (Billy)
Hush! (Mec)
3
You remember? (Mec)
Yeah… (Billy)
4
Then let's get going! (Mec pulls up a necklace)
5
Here! (She takes out a small knife hanging in the necklace)
Is it sharp? (Billy)
6
(Easily Mec cuts a hole in the tent)
7
Nice to take a breath of fresh air! (Mec)
8
(Silently they pass a guard by the remains of a campfire)

Page 2
1
Here it is, I guess… (They approach naboring tent))
2
Rip! (Mec cuts herself into the tent)
3
(They look inside)
4
No, next one!
5
Ah! Here it is! (Mec)
6
(Mec on the inside, moving cautiously)
7
(She takes up paper from pocket of a jacket)
8
Did you get it? (Billy on the outside)
I did! (Mec)
9
Why haven't they touched him? Scalped him? Tortured him… like the others? (Billy)
I don't know yet… (Mec)

Page 3
1
Next morning in the camp… (Captives lead into the camp)
2
Look, Mec! (Billy)
3
Now I'll be dog goned if that ain't Bo and Gus! (Mec)
4
Howdy Bo! Howdy Gus! (Mec from a distance)
5
Now what do you think, Bo? (Gus)
The worst! I mean… if she's here… then what's happened to the rest of our family?
6
He wants us to step forward… (Hank)
7
Black Wolf… (Hank)

Page 4
1
What are you doing in our territory? (Black Wolf, Negro)
2
So that's why he's called BLACK Wolf… (Rusty whispering)
Maybe soon we'll figure out why he's called WOLF! (Gus)
3
I'll tell you what we're doing… looking for the rest of our family… These two kids belong to my kin! (Bo)
4
Hmm… The boy is partly Indian… You're not… Besides that it did seem to my men, that you were looking for something quite different! Black Wolf)
That is none of your business… (Bo)
5
Maybe I will MAKE it my business! (Black Wolf)
We'll se about that! (Bo angrily approaches Black Wolf)
6
Hoowa Mohawa… (Warrior passes piece of advice)
Pawa! (Black Wolf ignores advice)
7
(Bo and Black Wolf are looking into eyes of each others)
8
Hontja Kulah… (Black Wolf)

Page 5
1
(The four prisoners are led away to a tent passing another tent… A white man is looking suspiciously)
2
Who was that with the grim smile on his face? (Gus in prison tent)
Which one? (Bo)
3
The white man… (Gus)
I have seen him before, but I don't remember exactly… (Bo)
I do… (Rusty)
4
It's Ken "Doc" Tucker… Met him at Fort Laramie, where he was a doctor, but the booze got him down, and now he is trading it to the Indians… That's why they let him live… (Rusty)
5
Hey! Nice to see you again! (Mec crawling under the canvas)
Mec! (Bo)
6
You are eager to know what's happened, aren't you? (Mec)
No… Are you, Gus? (Bo, teasing)
7
She probably just got enough of the old folks and wanted to try out on her own… and talked poor Billy into it as well… (Gus, teasing)
Well, I got the deed right here! (Mec)
8
So SHE stole it! One might have guessed! (Gus, teasing)
NO! It was that other white man you saw on the way over here! (Mec, irritated)
9
Doc Tucker! (Rusty)

Page 6
1
Well, he and three others made a regular hold-up two or three days ago at home… but I wasn't there at the time, so… (Mec)
So you couldn't prevent it? (Bo, teasing)
2
No, but never mind, they are all scalped now, except the last one, but I'll get him sooner or later! (Mec)
Of course! (Bo)
3
Black Wolf is coming! (Billy looking under canvas)
4
I better get going then… (Mec)
Take this map in my left boot, so Black Wolf won't find it! (Hank)
5
This one? (Mec)
Yes! Now be off! (Hank)
6
Not so fast! (Black Wolf in tent opening)
7
I better take care of that! (Black Wold getting map)

Page 7
1
(Company riding out of camp)
Where are we going? (Rusty)
2
You should know, having read the map! We're heading for all the gold that Mr. Hank Jackson mentioned to us! (Bo)
3
Here's the ravine, where it should all end up…(Bo)
I almost hope we find something or they might get the idea that it was our fault… (Hank)
4
This looks like the end… (Gus)
Now look behind every bush and stone! There should be something here! (Black Wolf)
5
That map is a fake if you want to know my opinion… This isn't gold territory or anything else… You don't suppose he got your map, Bo? (Gus)
6
No, it's the right one, and I know it by heart now… He isn't mistaken… I would have found exactly the same place… (Hank)
7
There is nothing here! Someone has been making a fool out of you and it ain't no Indian! This map is not Indian made, but of course you white men can't see that! (Black Wolf)
8
Now that you know for sure here is no treasure, you can die peacefully! (Black Wolf)
9
Hey! Why should we die? You have seen it was not our fault coming into your territory, so why kill us? (Rusty)
'Cause I hate all white men, including you! (Black Wolf)

Page 8
1
Evening… (At the camp)
They are preparing a special treatment for us tonight… And we'll be the main attraction… (Gus)
2
Don't you think you could find something to make them happy, Gus? (Bo)
3
Black Wolf, you mean? The Indians perhaps, but that Negro chief, no! One would think he'd spent some time with white men to learn their bad habits! (Gus)
4
It was you who got us in on this in the first place! (Rusty)
Now listen to him! The one who planned to start a profitable mining-business of his own! (Bo)
5
In the meantime Mec try to benefit from the confusion to get help…
Easy now, horsie, easy now! (Mec)
6
Going somewhere? (Doc)
Doc Tucker?! (Mec)
7
Don't you think I have guessed who took that deed last night?! (Doc)
It wasn't me, I swear! (Mec)
8
Now give it to me, or I'll have to show some of my unpleasant behavior! (Doc)
Don't lay hands on me, or I'll tear your eyes out! (Mec)
9
Haha! (Doc)

Page 9
1
Ha-ha! My young lady! I'm afraid I'll have to search you! (Doc)
2
You bastard! You scoundrel! You dirty old… (Mec)
3
Here it is! Thank you, my lady! (Doc)
4
(Doc with empty look)
5
(Doc falling to the ground, arrow in his back)
6
Billy! (Mec)
7
I know it's unfair to shoot from the back, but you were so close… (Billy)
Never mind! Grab a pony! (Mec)
8
A couple of Indians see them take off… (Dark now, light from campfire in back)
9
(four Indians rally to the pursuit)
Hooka-hey!

Chapter 5
THE BROKEN CHAIN

Page 1
1
Faster, Billy, faster! (Mec)
2
They are gaining on us… (Billy)
3
(Billy is shooting backwards with bow and arrow)
4
No use… I'm not that skilled yet… (Billy)
5
(An Indian leaps to the back of Mec's horse)
6
(The Indian take out his knife)
7
Pow! (a shot hits him)
8
(The other Indians pull their ponies to a halt)
9
Pow! (Another shot is saving Billy)

Page 2
1
Mec! (Dora)
Billy! (Luke)
2
Sure nice to see you! They were getting a little too close! (Mec)
Close! One of the Indians was raising his knife to stab you! (Phil)
3
Oh, was he? I didn't see that… Then maybe you even saved our lives! (Mec)
I guess you can say that… But let's get home now, Mec! You've had your fun, I think… (Phil)
4
WHAT?! And leave Gus and Bo and… the others to that frightful Black Wolf! (Mec)
Black Wolf! (Luke)
5
Yeah, he's their Indian chief… That is, he is a Negro, and… (Mec)
6
Is it true, that Bo and Gus are in there? (Dora)
Yes, that is true… But it is a long story… (Billy)
7
I guess… Well, at least we'll have to try and get them out… But how? (Phil)
8
It can be mighty difficult… (Luke)

Page 3
1
(Our friends tied up, near the campfire, Indians present)
2
(An Indian whispering something to the chief)
3
Maho wahoka! (The chief gets up, raises his hand)
4
(Every Indian reaches for their weapons)
5
Looks like we got one more chance… (Bo)
6
Something must have interfered with their ceremony… (Hank)
7
It is white man's ways to attack under cover of darkness, and as I have learnt something from that, we will be prepared and not taken unaware! (Black Wolf)
8
Carama watupee… (Black Wolf)
9
He's sending out scouts in all directions… Whoever they are, they better be an army to handle him!

Page 4
1
Powa! (Phil and Billy are taken by surprise)
2
(They lay down their guns)
3
(Mec, Dora and Luke, who have been sneaking up from the other side are surrounded)
4
Powa! (They are disarmed)
First time I have seen Indians attacking by night! (Luke)
5
So you came to free your "family"? (Black Wolf)
6
You're wrong, Wolfie! We came to demand them released! (Phil)
7
Wolfie! No one calls me that without being punished! (Black Wolf)
8
If. you don't shut up, I'll punish you from here to Houston! (Phil)
9
Houston! Why… Of course! (Black Wolf)

Page 5
1
Cross my heart and hope to die, if that ain't Phil Travers! (Black Wolf)
2
Are these your folks? (Black Wolf)
Every one of them! (Phil)
3
Release them! MAROHA! (Black Wolf)
4
Didn't he say he hated all white men? (Rusty)
With some exceptions, it seems… (Hank)
5
So you did survive the war after all, Wolfie… (Phil)
Sure… The only problem was to leave my old master behind, and you helped me out of that… I will never forget that! Black Wolf)
6
I was quite busy myself, you know… Had to leave town in a hurry! (Phil)
Yeah… not to be listed under the Confederates… (Black Wolf)
7
Right… I'm not the kind of person, who likes to put his life on the line for a lost cause… (Phil)
8
I hope you will supply us with the sufficient number of horses? (Phil)

What's more! I will escort you, so that you won't be attacked by anyone else in these districts! (Black Wolf)

Home at the farm…
How did you get into all this… tribal affair? We expected you back? (Phil to Bo)
2
Yeah, and we were on our way, but Hank Jackson presented us to this… what seemed part in a shortcut to fame and fortune, that we felt we somehow needed to boost spirits coming home after the loss of the deed…
3
Had you only shown it to me, I could have told you it was a fake! (Grampa)
Since when have you become an expert on Indian affairs? It fooled me! (Bo)
4
I'm no expert on Indian maps, but I do recognize this one! (Grampa)
So you can tell us more about it? (Gus)
5
I sure can… You see, I made this map a long time ago… (Grampa)
YOU DID?! (Bo and Gus)
6
Yes… that was when I was a ranger… We were to catch The Hooligan-brothers, and we knew there was one of them who was crazy about gold mines… And another one was clever on Indian affairs… So we constructed this map, you see… (Grampa)
7
An old Kiowa-brave was in on the force as well, and he helped us… And… well… then we sort of let it get into the hands of the Hooligans… He-he… And they followed it… just like you did… they ended up at the same place… (Grampa)
8
And there we were waiting for them… Couldn't find a better spot for an ambush… captured all of them at the same time… Yeah, that was some mission… (Grampa)
9
Gee! Imagine one story you haven't bragged about earlier! (Phil)

WHAT! Oh, that damned coyote! (Mec checking her rabbits)
2
Brownie! Bathos! Chaos! I'll get him someday! NO, right away!
3
Where's my gun! (Mec entering house where the rest are still gathering)
Where's my watch? (Grampa)
4
Ehh… Your watch? Oh, that old ticker… Hrmn… How would I know? (Mec)
How? You think I'd forget about that? I lend it to you some days ago, so that Phil could teach you the time and all… (Grampa)
5
That's right! Now I remember something! She lent it to me! (Phil)
I did?! (Mec)
6
Sure… You remember… Thought it might be too risky for you to keep it on yourself… You might drop it somewhere… by accident… (Phil)
7
So here it is, Grampa… Safe and sound… You can count the diamonds… (Phil)
8
That was very clever thinking, Mec! I do believe you are beginning to grow some sense after all! You might even become a lady some day… with a little help… (Grampa looking at Dora standing right behind)
9
Hmm… Maybe I could make a try for it…

Some days later…
Are you feeling better now, Al? (Bo, walking outside)
2
Yeah, I'm all right… Must avoid tipping my hat for a while… (Al)
Why did you go in on Doc Tuckers plan in the first place? (Bo)
3
I was in a pinch… I did something a while back… Doc was the only one to know, so I won't fear anything more from him… I'll just try and forget, if you let me… (Al)
4
That's all right… I guess we all need that from time to time… And we got the deed back… But why did he send for the Indians? (Bo)
5
He didn't send for them, but recently he traded some bad liquor to them, and they came for revenge… Ken saved himself by promising them his private store… But not after we were done for… Then he could have the deed for himself… (Al)
6
And the Indians thought you were already dead… So they scalped you and left you there at the cabin… (Bo)
Right… (Al)
7
Hey you! I got it at last! That damn' coyote! (Mec proudly showing victim)
So I see! Now wait a minute! (Bo)
8
Always busy? (Al)
Yeah… But she has been especially impatient the last couple of days since her visit in town… She has been waiting for something… (Bo)

LUKE! You got it! (Mec running up the hillside)
2
I have… just like you chose in the store… and the changes have been made, so it should look perfect now.. but there is one little thing… (Luke)
3
And… that is? (Mec, worried)
4
Well, the furs you brought this time were considerably better than those from last time… I kind of made him see that… So here is a little something extra, that should match the other… (Luke)
5
OH LUKE, I'M SO EXCITED! I mean… It's awful nice of you, Mr. Potter… (Mec)
6
(Mec kissing him))
7
Well, I'll be… (Luke, Mec is walking off with the boxes)
8
What do you think, Phil? (Mec displaying herself in gorgeous dress)
9
It looks marvelous… Can I have the next dance, Miss Travers?
Why, you sure can! (Mec)
