Seeing the barrel of a revolver aimed at him, the gentleman raised only his right hand. He could not raise his left - he was wracked by an acute attack of rheumatism. It turned out that the thief suffered from the same ailment. Soon they were talking with the owner like old friends.

They decided to kidnap the young son of Abenger Dorset, the mayor of the nearest town, and demand a ransom for him in exactly that amount. And so the plan was carried out: the boy was kidnapped, hidden in the forest, in a cave, and a letter was written to Dorset's father demanding the ransom. But the boy turned out to be such a devil that the discouraged gangsters were forced not only to refuse the ransom, but also to give up their own money just to get rid of the "prisoner". Having paid the enterprising father, they learn that he will be able to hold his aggressive child for only a few minutes. "We'll have time to run to the Canadian border". —Kino-Teatr.ru
