The Great Lame Beaver has, a well deserved reputation, for leading from the front. He leaps into the creek and makes a dead run for The Ringo Kid. Dead being the operative word here, the Kid chambers a second round into his Winchester and puts The Great Lame Beaver one right between the minces… he’s in the Happy Hunting Grounds quicker than you can say… ouch!

OUCH!!!
Slanderous sniggers of..
“Cop for that Great Lame Tosspot!”
And…
“Pity you didn’t paint that dikhead with war paint instead of squaw paint, innit!”
Echo over the Plains…
But the great warrior’s deemise is soon avenged! His blood brother, Smelly Moccasin, draws a bead on the Ringo Kid and kills him first shot.

Things aren’t going well for the pilgrims as Smelly’s second shot kills Hank the stage driver.

Things aren’t going well for the pilgrims as Smelly’s second shot kills Hank the stage driver, and the Redskins break cover to rush the survivors. Doc Pearson valiantly attempts to protect the pregnant lady, but at 63, he’s no match for a Cheyenne Dog Doldier wielding a tomahawk, him and the guard are quickly massacreed then scalped and pregnant lady made captive!

As the pregnant lady is being dragged, screaming from the awful sight of the massacree, she hears a very, very distant trumpet… it’s the Boy General himself at the head of the Powder River patrol!

Eagle eyed viewers will have noticed another Cheyenne War party has also arrived. May I introduce a Redskin that makes even The Great Lame Tosspot look bright? Here is, Chief Chicken Hawk Squawking…

In a costly oversight him and his Braves have brought knives to a gunfight, two of his blokes get cut down in the charge. This enrages Smelly Moccasin who’s still lurking on the bluffs, two quick shots from him and the odds are even!

Chicken Hawk Squawking clears the creek in a mighty bound and after a protracted fight both him and the Boy General succumb to their wounds…

There’s by now more distant trumpets blaring than a Yorkshire Colliery brass band contest. The rest of the Cavalry patrol show up, as do another band of Dog Soldiers…

The fight eddies and swirls in the dust of the Plains, when it clears there’s one unhorsed Trooper, last man standing. But the Redskins have not been idle. Smelly and his cohorts sneak up and the lone yellowlegs falls to Smelly’s unerring carbeen…

Victory to the Indians!!!
