There's Always Hope, Part 2

When we last left 19th century insurance agent extraordinaire, Milford Farnsworth (see last week's Bob Hope posting), he had just been cheated in an involuntary game of poker. Card miscreants enjoyed stripping the tenderfoot right down to his bright red, monogramed union suit! With his bowler hat perched high on his head, a ridiculous figure he made.

When Milford had enough though, he had jumped up from the table, reclaiming his clothes. But the poker cheats he'd been playing with had other ideas!  What happens next? Take a look: 

A little gun play seemed to be the next order of business for the greenhorn in red underwear! 

 

Milford decided make a run for it so he turned, and up the staircase he scrambled. Could he make it?

 

The boys decided to have some fun. Why, they'd scare the pants right off of Milbord, 

if he were wearing any, that is! 

Get moving you johnny-come-lately before we blow the buttons right off your drawer's drop seat...

 

Phew, he made it up the staircase to the second floor. Now where to hide?  

 

The door at the end of the hallway was locked tight. The next door he tried was open. Hopefully, no one was inside. He'd just slip in and slip on his clothes. He couldn't keep running around making a spectacle of himself in long underwear. What would his mother say?

Footsteps! He's going to be caught in what appears to be a lady's boudoir! And he, only his union suit! He can't get caught like that....perhaps, he can climb out the window....

 

 ....oops, too far down! Trapped!  

What do to do now? 

Find out in Part 3 of Alias Jesse James coming next week!
