Interfering with Walt's pursuit of a gang, he knocks over a wasp's nest and lands both in a borax bin! They'll be dumped off a mountain as Wayne comes to the rescue - of TWO Trigger sheriffs - so there are THREE! He grabs the two blinded fighters, swings high, and dumps borax on the crooks. Twilby's learned his lesson. "Clothes do NOT make a sheriff!"
