During their latest escape attempt the four Dalton brothers manage to tunnel into the neighbouring cell just prior to a visit from the prison authorities. With the tunnel entrance concealed beneath the bunk they learn that the cell’s occupant is suffering from amnesia, and because he has no knowledge or memory of his past crime he is told he’s like a new man and can go free. Naturally, this offers a potential new route out of jail for the Daltons.
The problem they have is convincing the authorities, and Lucky Luke, that their amnesia is genuine, and certainly, from time to time, following occasional blows to the head, it is. But naturally Lucky Luke smells a rat and sticks with them to ascertain whether or not it’s true.
This is another great Lucky Luke tale with plenty of opportunities for some great gags and puns, not least Rin Tin Can, the prison dog who suffers his own bout of amnesia and becomes convinced he’s a cat, and the gradual temptation of the Daltons that reveals their true colours as the story rolls on.
