Bill and Sam find themselves in Alabama, and an idea of kidnapping occurs to them. They need some more money to start a new “business”, so this plan seems perfect.

Sam and Bill Driscoll needed a sum of 2000 dollars to pull of their fraudelent scheme, a idea of kidnapping the child of Ebenezer Dorset came to their mind to earn the remaining 2000 dollars as Ebenezer would pay as much as he can to save his child.
