Four mounties are stationed in
Sweetwater, a captain, a sergeant and
two constables. They patrol the border
and keep up the order in the area.
Mostly it´s ruffians and drunkards
they have to handle with, but
sometimes a real villain tries to seek
refuge in Canada, and then he´d
better look out for the boys in red!
