Barnaby Boggs had a brand-new wagon and a brand-new medicine to sell. It was a big wagon, painted red with letters in gold two feet high, that spelled out "Barnaby Boggs Eradicator". The wagon was parked beneath a shady tree near Waterford, and Boggs - red-faced and sweating - was trying to adjust the rear section of the wagon which dropped down to make a platform for the show, which would begin in a couple of hours. He was too busy to notice the Lone Ranger and Tonto approaching.
