Bonanza #2/1965

In "Øksemennene," Hop Sing’s cousin arrives with his bride-to-be, only to be abducted by mysterious hatchet men linked to the young woman’s stepfather. When Ben, Hoss, and Little Joe set out to track them down, they too are captured—until Adam and the sheriff launch a daring rescue to free the group.

In the scorching desert, Bedrock Barnes comes across a man driven mad by thirst, firing wildly at him with a revolver. After dodging the shots, Bedrock finally subdues the stranger with a thrown rock, binds him, and offers water from his canteen. When the sheriff arrives, Bedrock discovers the man he saved is actually a notorious bank robber on the run.

In the dusty frontier of Bonanza #2, Hoss finds himself with an unlikely companion: a camel whose overpowering scent sends both livestock and people into panic. With pressure mounting from neighbors, he reluctantly leads the beast into the desert to set it free—only to stumble upon a wagon train under siege. The camel’s unexpected presence proves vital when it helps Hoss disrupt the attackers’ horses, turning the tide in a moment of sudden danger.
