Synopsis
The new President of the United States decrees a general amnesty. All prisoners are released, including the Daltons. They settle in a nearby town, Awful Gulch, and rent a space next to the bank, so they can tunnel to this establishment and steal the money. But Lucky Luke quickly moves the bank and instals the sheriff's office there instead.
Joe Dalton then changes his mind and attacks the stagecoach after Averell knocks out Lucky Luke. They then spend a little time in Pocopoco Pueblo and then, after their crimes have been known in this city, try to cross the desert. This is where Lucky Luke catches them and brings them back to the penitentiary.
