A Trap For a Turkey Thief


Listen Later

Turkeys have gone missing from several farms and the Bradshaw family is desperate for a good  season this year to help pay off their farm. Sam Bailey, a shiftless member of the community is the first victim and joins a vigilance committee to help solve the mystery of the missing turkeys. Sam Bailey points suspicion on the neighborhood hunchback claiming he has found a pile of feathers behind his shanty. Mr Bradsaw is not quick to find blame with the crippled man who has otherwise lived peacefully on his own. Young Henry Bradshaw discovers a hidden old cistern at the rear of their chicken house and quickly formulates a plan to trap the thief should he try to make an escape through the back end of their property stealing their turkeys that evening. The next  morning Henry is surprised, as is everyone else, by who is caught in the cistern trying to make off with the Turkeys.
