Ever wonder if cattle rustlers still exist? Well, they do. In this story, Hank and Slim go on a camping trip to see if they can catch the mysterious stranger who is stealing calves. Hank devours all of Slim's camp meat (weenies) and chews the tent rope in half during a thunderstorm. Slim gets soaked but, fortunately, he never figures out why the rope broke.
Enjoy the songs: "See the Morning Sun Ascending" and "Alas and Alack," which tells of a cowboy who went to the circus.
