Ben Rumson Stands Guard

When he realizes his wife is missing from their wedding chambers, the instantly awake wedding groom boumds out of bed in the red union suit he sleeps in. He must find out what has become of her...  




Why, the camp is chocked full of hundreds of lonely miners!
Is she safe from their prying eyes and advances??



 

Toting a gun, he steps outside wearing his trademark black hat 
and long red underwear....





 
Where have you been for cryin' out loud?!?!
I was worried sick about you!


She explains she had just taken an early morning bath! 



 
When their heated discussion wakes up Partner, 
Ben demands of him as to just what is he looking at?!
Partner retorts: "It's not me running around 
in the middle of the night  in my drawers!"



 

Ben marches back-in-forth still clad in only his underwear to make sure the other gold miners don't take advantage of his scantily dressed bride and her early morning water escapades!
