First, at the beginning of the story, These people, Sam and Bill, needed some money. Two thousand dollars to be exact. So, how were they going to make two thousand dollars? Kidnapping of course! They planned to kidnap a rich guy’s son, named Red Chief. They drove by his house. Red chief was playing outside, when Bill offered to give him candy and a ride. Red Chief threw a brick at Bill’s face, and then Bill went outside to get Red Chief into the buggy, which they were driving, and take off. They take Red Chief to a cave. Then Bill and Red Chief play Indian. After they did that, they ate bacon and bread and gravy for dinner. Then he made a speech at dinner. And then they learned that he didn’t want to go home or school. And he was thrilled to stay at the cave for a little longer. They went to bed at about eleven o’clock. They slept on the ground with blankets and quilts. Then, Red Chief tried to kill Bill with a knife used to cut bacon. Sam took the knife away. Then, Sam threatens to take Red Chief home if he doesn’t behave. Red Chief starts to obey. Then he sends a letter to the Red Chief’s dad asking for fifteen hundred dollars for the return of his son. Then, the father replies that they give him two hundred and fifty dollars to return his son. So that is what Sam and Bill did.
