The Hold Up and Indian Attack in Vintage Tale
In 1825 two men plan a bank shipment of 12060 from a local bank while Buffalo Pass tribesmen prepare to ambush the stagecoach. The coach is shot, tips, but the band retreats with the money, as the narrative shifts to a comic island adventure with Cap’n Bill and Trot meeting an ork and surviving a popcorn snow scene. A separate 1858 episode, The Attack of Indians, describes Cheyenne scouts encircling a party near Laramie and a cavalry response driving off attackers.
