and General Washington are in great danger.

You and I have to save them. My

friend General Washington in danger?

Yes, yes. That's all I gotta

know. Get me outta here.

Do you know the location of the nearest

Continental Army post? Yes, ma'am.

Saddle those two horses

while I finish dressing.

Whoa, Lancelot.

I'll be right with ya.

But, sir, when did they capture this

spy, Major Andre? Early this morning.

We found some papers in his boot

exposing the whole foul plot.

And some of them were signed

by Master Thomas Danbury.

Master Prim,

we must get through.

If anyone tries to stop us, we'll

shoot. Here's a horse pistol.

This is for you. What do I shoot

with? This is no time to jest.

We must go. Mistress Melody, I

wanna tell Nora that we're goin'.

Nora and I plan to elope.

I don't want her to worry.

Oh, but, Nora...

She wa...

Oh, I'm sorry, tinker. I'm

afraid there won't be time.

I'm sure Nora'll understand.

Hurry. I guess so.

Tinker, here come some of

Tom Danbury's friends.

The back road.

There go two of the traitors.

Lieutenant, surround the house! Yes, sir.

Neither one of these men

is Tom Danbury.

They're dirty traitors just the same, else

they wouldn't have been shooting at us.

- What'll we do with them, sir?

- Throw them in the well. That's the only burial they deserve.

Yes, sir.

Hear me, ye faithless souls.

May you lie there

in everlasting torment...

with but one name to identify

your rotting bones:

"Traitors. "

And unless some evidence

proves us wrong,

I curse your

miserable spirits...

to be bound

to Danbury Acres...

'til crack of doom.

Amen.

Here you are, Major.

Good.

G-G-G-G-Ghost.

Oh, no,

it's me, tinker.

Odsbodkins

and spotty widgeons!

Am I glad to see you, Mistress

Melody. Oh, am I happy now.

You know what I thought for a

minute? Only a minute, mind you.

I thought

you were a ghost.

Me, a ghost. I thought you were a ghost!

What did you do?

I didn't do anything.

My hand...

That's funny.

I'm still thirsty.

Tinker, there's something very,

very wrong. You can say that again.

Look. "Here were buried two traitors. "

Good! I wonder

who they were.

Look at the date!

September 23, 1780.

That's today. That's right, tinker.

What's the matter?

That looks like us

down there.

Yeah! How can us be down

there when us are up here?

Do you remember when Master

Danbury's friends tried to stop us?

Yeah, and they even took shots

at us. I'm afraid they killed us.

They killed us?

Why?

We didn't do anything.

Soldiers.

American soldiers.

A-And those people. It looks as

if they were looting the place.

What does all this mean? There's

just one answer, one terrible answer.
