‘No, I’m not,’ said Bob, angrily wiping a sleeve across his mouth. ‘Don’t try and change the subject. I suppose you think it’s fair to commandeer all the money from Trouble Bank?’ he asked, through gritted teeth.

‘I own the bank; by my reckoning I can do what I like with the money,’ smiled the oily Ham. ‘I’m going to use it to build a marvellous parade of new shops and casinos, saloons and theatres. It’s for the town’s own good.’

‘Oh no, not completely dry. I have to leave them some money to spend in my shops. It’s called business,’ said Horatio Ham with a face as innocent as a baby’s. ‘I’m a businessman. What would you have me do?’

‘Give the people back their money,’ demanded Wild Bob.

‘I can’t do that, Ffrance.’

‘Well I can,’ said Bob. ‘Kid, gather up all the money and dump it back in that trunk.’
