The main plot is simple: a group of forest rangers, who resemble Dudley Do-Rights more than Ranger Ricks, arrive at Little Mary Sunshine's vacation home in search of the wild Indian Yellow Feather.

Whether this is done for moral reasons or as a neat stratagem for future court cases is impossible to say, but the absence of Winston and Salem men fits...
...bolted, but Whacker had barred my only avenue of escape with a cage containing an amorphous, feather-covered mass of seemingly organic matter, labelled "Boneless Chicken (Szechuan...
