and makes an almighty row. Tex hears the noise and guesses that
it's coming from the bank. Frisbee tries to stop Tex from going

iron box, and make a run for it. But there's nothing in the
box except a collection of old iron, They decide to go back
to Four Feather Falls and join Hank in jail - at least they'll
be able to get something to eat there, even if they haven't

Episode: 17
Grampa Twink boasts of the times when he had a wonderful
singing voice and when he wiped out a whole tribe of Comanches
single handed. His audience - Tex, Rocky, Doc and Slim Jim -
laughingly disbelieve him, much to Twink's annoyance.
Slim Jim puts up a poster reading: "Five Hundred Dollars
Reward. Wanted, Indian Jack - For Gun Running and Horse Stealing."
Twink, who is about to set off for Silver City, promises to
look out for Indian Jack.
Twink and his lady friend, Ma Jones, are bowling along in a
buggy when they catch sight of an Indian head-dress..... and then
some more. Twink is certain they belong to Kalamakooya's
men.... until a Comanche arrow buries itself in the upholstery
between them.
The frightened old love-birds seek refuge in a tumble-down
shack. But from out of the shadows steps Indian Jack. He says
the Comanches are after him.
Inside the shack Grampa Twink and Ma Jones have run out of
ammunitionl, and Indian Jack is on the point of killing them, when
an arrow pins his gun arm to the wall. Twink grabs the gun -
Indian Jack is his prisoner and kalamakooya's braves have scared
off the Comanches.
Later Twink - in an "I told you so" attitude - relates his
story to an admiring audiencc outside Ma Jones' store. As he
turns to go, the gathering fire their guns into the air in a roal
western salute. And Grampa Twink rushes off, panic-stricken
shouting: "Help. Help. Injuns,..".

a reward for the capture of a badman by the name of Zack Morrill.
Now Pedro - the resident bandit down in Four Feather Falls -
is pretty cut up when he sees this notice. Not only does he

office, this guy Morrill also double crossed him back in Tucson.
So Pedro decides to go out single-handed and bring in Zack
Morrill.
But Fernando reckons that Pedro can't do this thing alone,
so he follows him. On the way Fernando bumps into Zack Morrill
himself and, not realising who he is, takes him along with him.
When they meet up with Pedro, Morrill draws his guns on them both,
but Fernando tricks him and ties him up. This character Morrill
has a slick line of talk though, He reminds Pedro of the ten
thousand dollars he stole in Tucson, and offers to split it with
him. Pedro wants the five hundred dollar reward as well - so
they evolve a cunning plan to take Morrill back to Four Feather
Falls, collect the reward, bust him out of Jail, then collect
the ten thousand dollars.
Pedro and Fernando bring back Morrill and collect the reward.
Tex is astounded. Pedro demands that he takes Morrill's wanted
notice down and puts his up instead.
