The demon bad-man of Hardscrapple ceases firing at our heroes' feet. They gather in a few weapons from the lineup at the bar and make their escape. A little later that day Ham and Bud pick up a few "gold nuggets" and buy a restaurant. "Carbation mush" is the only edible that the whole place gives up. The new proprietors take to the hills before an assayist can have a chance to size up the gold nuggets. With Ham and Bud out of the restaurant business, the inhabitants of Hardscrapple nearly starve. The bankroll of the visiting millionaire is of no use. Ham and Bud stumble into a cabin of a bad man, asleep. Tying him to his bed, Ham and Bud return to the village with a stock of pies from the cabin. The bidding is fast and furious. But the bad man comes on the scene, bed and all, presents his credentials in the form of two 45's, and the dough is handed over without argument. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
