Act 3 - Episode 2 - Ruby Who?

A stolen strongbox, a blameworthy Marshal Brown and an unconscious Ruby Buckaroo are all headed to an explosive finale.

The Blister and Bucket Highly First-Rate Theatrical Show decides to have their performance in the General Wilfred Cackleberry Memorial Bank, which conveniently holds the strongbox eyed by the Doc and Colonel. Marshal Brown, anxious to act in the show, is clueless — as is Ruby Buckaroo, but that’s because she’s collapsed again.

Yet another Pencil Pointe theatrical venue is reduced to rubble, while the bank president and posse from Wobbly Hills catch up with Ruby and her supposed partner in crime, Marshal Brown.

The Doc and Colonel arrange to employ a little red flower and some dynamite to dispose of Ruby Buckaroo. But at least Marshal Brown is cured of “Hoofbeats in His Heart.”

Ruby is wanted dead or alive, and the Doc and Colonel intend to take advantage of the first part of that offer.

After an unconscious Ruby Buckaroo is quickly dispatched from Pencil Pointe, she just as quickly returns, hell-bent on revenge against Marshal Brown. And another theatrical venue is reduced to splinters.

As the showfolk converge on the town of Pencil Pointe to perform, their proposed theater is blown to pieces. That’s also what Ruby has in mind for Marshal Brown when she finds out about his new paramour.

The Doc and Colonel devise a dastardly scheme involving a strongbox and an unsuspecting Marshal Brown, all as Kody Kyoffee has now fallen for the Marshal. Oh, and did we mention that Ruby Buckaroo and her horse are galloping like the wind with an irate bank president and his posse from the town of Wobbly Hills close behind?

Ruby rides off to rob banks and distance herself from the Marshal. To forget Ruby, Marshal Brown joins The Blister and Bucket Highly First-Rate Theatrical Show. He meets singer Kody Kyoffee, which certainly helps.

Ruby Buckaroo, The Bandit Queen of the Cowboys, collapses from a mysterious illness. Traveling showmen Doc Blister and Colonel Charles Tucker Bucket provide a questionable diagnosis – that it’s a reaction to Marshal Shiloh Brown, who is contagious with “Hoofbeats in His Heart.”
