Synopsis

Little Beaver, dreaming of chocolate, is interrupted by the whinnies of Papoose and another horse. The tenderfoot, an armed criminal, hires Beaver to find him a hide-out. He is led up the rugged slope of Sugar Loaf Butte and stopping halfway up, Beaver sees Red, Thunder, and the sheriff trailing them far below. From his satchel, the man reveals a light sub-machine gun, canned food, and sweet chocolate. Using blunt arrows, Little Beaver stuns the man, and binds him. When Red and the sheriff's posse arrive, they find their quarry tied and waking up and Beaver eating chocolate.
