Summary
  • Sappo: John constructed the escape box with a hidden door in the back. He gets in and tells Myrtle not to disturb him unless she hears him cry for help. He goes out the back door, goes to play poker with his friends. He comes back in the box and yells for help. Myrtle opens the door and tells John she knew he would not escape.
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor captures Bill Snag and takes him to the sheriff for the reward. The sheriff tells Castor he wants him dead, not alive. Castor takes him out to hang him but Bill tells Castor he is his twin brother. Castor takes him down and kisses his cheek. Bill tells him it was a lie. The sheriff tells Castor anyone that kisses Bill Snag should be shot.
