Notes: A remake of this story was published in "The Little Stooges" Issue #6 (Gold Key, Dec 1973). The latter story is an almost panel-by-panel redraw of this story, simplifying the artwork (also by Norman Maurer) and updating the hairstyles and fashions for a 1970's audience.

When Bogus lands in the New World with a chest full of beads, the Stooges, in the guise of Indian real estate agents AND Dutch jewelry merchants/wilderness guides, manage to swindle Bogus out of his money.
