Undressed Under Duress, Season Two: Part 3 Continued 

               Against A Crooked Sky

Surrounded by dozens of menacing young bucks, Sam and Russian decide their best course of action, at least for now, would be not to fight it out. They are out numbered, standing there in just their underwear with no guns or knives. Struggling would be of no use. So, having no chance at an escape, Sam and Russian, meekly offered themselves over to their captors.

Conveniently, the indigenous men just happened to have had ropes with which to secure their trespassing captives. Young Sam, wearing only his union suit and boots, and Russian in his long johns, are marched to a hostile Apache Indian camp.

Inexplicably, one of the Indians had, considerately, retrieved their clothes from the bush where britches and shirts had been left to dry. Fortunately, the boys would not have to spend the rest of the movie in their long underwear. Docile as lambs, Sam and Russian allowed themselves to be led to the edge of the encampment and roughly made to sit in the dirt, awaiting for who knew what.

Soon an an old, toothless woman rather gently forced a wooden spoonful of some type of porridge into their mouths. Now, that was odd. Protesting, the substance laced with a foul tasting mixture was swallowed by both. 

Before long, man and boy passed out, dead to the world.

Sometime later, Sam woke up, dazed but alive. He aroused Russian. They believed their only chance to save themselves, was to sneak quietly away. 

Still in their underwear, they tried crawling close to the ground to escape. But wouldn't you know, they had gone only a few feet before their guards stopped them and pulled them to their feet. 

They were taken to join a crowd of Indians where Sam got a glimpse of his sister. She was still alive and well!

As it turned out, Sam was to try and rescue his sister but only after a grueling test of the “Crooked Sky.” The boy would be made to race the sun across desert, cliffs, cactus and heat. If he failed, Charlotte would be sacrificed by plummeting blind-folded over the edge of a cliff, having been done in by an executioner's arrow to the chest.

Catch the ending to this western drama on DVD, YouTube, and other streaming platforms.
