Major Story Arcs
When Mortimer Snerd meets Charlie McCarthy in Rattlesnake Gulch, Coyote Kane is around the corner and fortunate enough to hear that Charlie has a hidden packet in his shirt that could house significant riches. Coyote Kane robs Charlie and then retreats to Judge Rawson‘s Bar-O Ranch.
Charlie and Mortimer try to weasel their way onto the judge’s ranch to get evidence as to his corruption but get chased off when Coyote Kane recognizes them. The judge then takes Kane and some other outlaws out to steal cattle. When the men realize that Charlie is snapping pictures of them, Coyote Kane chases Charlie and Mortimer down and ties them up in a tree. Mortimer has a trick up his sleeve, however, and calls his cow Bessie for help. She gets some cattle to stampede and chase Coyote Kane away. Charlie gets the evidence to the federal marshall and Kane and the rest of the gang are thrown into prison.
