The Bank Robbery

The Heartbreaking Decision

In a desperate bid to escape Hitchcock, Amos and Theodore make the heart-wrenching choice to abandon their loyal donkey, Clarise. They hope this will help them evade capture, but the plan backfires spectacularly.

In Disguise

To evade recognition by Big Mac's crew, Amos and Theodore hilariously disguise themselves as dance hall girls. Coincidentally, this leads them to come face-to-face with Marshal Hitchcock once again.
