History 1: A general amnesty is decreed by the new president of the United States. The Daltons settle in Awful Gulch to rob the bank but Lucky Luke will manage to arrest them and bring them back to the penitentiary. History 2: A band of Apache Indians, under Tighout's command, took the path of war and attacked the penitentiary. Taking advantage of the general confusion, the Daltons escaped and were taken prisoner by the Apaches. By a happy combination of circumstances, Averell was taken as a witch. The Daltons then joined with the Indians to continue their criminal activities.
