action
The Daltons were caught by Lucky Luke and taken to prison. They were billeted with the counterfeiter Fennymore Buttercup. Since the Daltons can't stand it anymore due to the bad habits of the Daltons, he invents a story according to which he has buried a huge sum of money in Red Rock Junction. He tells this in his sleep, whereupon the Daltons break out immediately and ride to Red Rock Junction. They discover that the rock that indicates the location is now in a prison and try to get into this maximum security prison by committing a crime. Unfortunately for the Daltons, the judge in this place is very generous and does not arrest them even after major offenses. Lucky Luke, who had taken up the pursuit of the Daltons, arrives and does not arrest the Daltons for the time being, because he wants to discover the secret of the judge and the prison. Unaware of Lucky Luke's presence, the Daltons are now trying to break into the prison. However, you won't find any money on the rock. Lucky Luke uses the tunnel dug by the Daltons to get into the prison. He finds out that the judge has set up an amusement bar here so the bandits can squander the money from their robberies here. He is captured, but the cavalry division of the army comes to his aid. The judge, the other criminals and the Daltons are arrested who want to take revenge on Fennymore's lie.
