The Heart of Adventure
Bennett and Craddock were not in this episode much.
Bennett and Craddock are out of town so Dom has been deputized.
While doing his rounds he tells the ladies at the store that they
safe under his watchful eye. Sally & Marie have a chuckle.
While cleaning windows Sally thinks she sees her favorite author
(Luke Mercier) walk past. She yells after him but he dissappears.
In fact Mercier is in town. He is riding with an outlaw gang, so he can write about his adventure.
He's not so sure he wants to rob a bank.
"Cover yer face idiot!"
They rob the bank and as they make their getaway, they are spotted by Dom who fires on them.
One of the ombres shoots back and wounds his own man (Casey) instead.
Marie asks Sally to go to her house and bring her medical bag back to the store.
As they ride out of town they see Sally and assume she is the doctor..and kidnap her.
Dom is hit on the head and knocked out.
The ombres split up. Mercier is with the wounded Casey, who gets him to hide the money in a tree.
Then casey shoots at Mercier who looses his grip and falls. Moments later Casey falls dead.
Upon returning to Bordertown, Jack & Clive are briefed by Dom, who insists on being a part of
Sally's rescue.
They find Casey's body, but Mercier's unconcious body has been taken by the remaining ombres.
Thinking Sally is the doctor, they order her to make him better, so he can tell where the money is.
They find Casey's horse grazing and decide to wait for it to
finish so they can follow it to the hideout.
Jack has a snooze while he waits.
Sally and Mercier plan to escape. She spikes the
coffee with a sedative she found in Marie's bag.
Luke tells Sally he is not a criminal, he is doing research.
Jack, Clive and Dom find Sally & Luke being chased by the ombres. Dom punches Luke who
has his arm around Sally, trying to protect her.
Mercier explains to the lawmen that he was just researching his next book. He looks at Jack and
says, "You know marshal, you and the corporal have a unique situation, how would you like me
to write a book about the two of you?"
"Doubt there'd be much interest."
Before Mercier leaves town he kisses Sally on the cheek.
She is quite flustered, Dom is jealous. "You know Sally, I don't think you should kiss ANY man
that strikes your fancy!"
"Does that include you Dom?" and she kisses him.
