This hour of chatting is interrupted by six rowdies. Its leader, Toby Spencer, mentions that he wants to go to Colorado with General Douglas . Since he starts a fight soon after, Old Shatterhand throws the whole gang out. He then visits the Wallace banking house, where he gets information about Old Surehand .

Settings

Since, strictly speaking, it is almost an anthology, there is no setting of the entire material. The Old Surehand two productions above are almost exclusively Old Surehand 3 -texts what is just because the Karl-May-Verlag , who often acted as licensor of 3 Old Surehand just Old Surehand 2 made and the actual volume 2 spun off.

The partial narrative caught on the sea was , however, edited as a radio play .

The only real Old Surehand 2 implementations were created in the area of ​​productions for the blind and visually impaired and cannot be purchased.
