Summary
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor and Ham decide they are going to be "hoss and cow thieves." They have never stolen a horse and they don't know how. They find a horse, drag him up a mountain and finally make it to the top. At the top they tell each other they are "successful hoss thieves." The horse falls off the mountain and they are left with nothing on top.
  • Sappo: Myrtle tells John she didn't marry while she thought he was dead. She swears she didn't marry. He tells her he can prove it. He comes back in with the disguise he wore as Henry Squits. Myrtle is shocked.
