Summary
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor looks at a wanted/reward poster with a picture of the bad man. It looks exactly like him. As he walks away, he is worried someone is following him, trying to kill him for the reward. He hears something and starts running. Someone starts shooting at him. They yell they are all out of bullets so Castor starts walking back. The man then yells he has one bullet left and Castor takes off.
  • Sappo: John invents a "fish alarm." When the fish gets on the hook and pulls the line compressed air blows a whistle that can be heard for ten miles. The lever raises the fish automatically. He tries it out. The whistle is so loud a group of men come running. They boot John into the water.
