Transcript:

Rip Haywire: It's time my fists met your face. Highwayman: Now, Sheriff, let's avoid unnecessary introductions. I give up, haul me off to the hoosegow. Rip Haywire: Put your hands behind your.... head! Highwayman: You're pathetic, Lawman. Rip Haywire: Again, not as pathetic as that hat! Was the amish dollar store too expensive? Highwayman: I'll make a deal with you, Sheriff, I'll cut you in on my earnings like the other Sheriff.. all you have to do is look the other way. Rip Haywire: No thanks. I never liked the view from that direction. You fool! Highwayman: You leave me no choice then! Time to meet your maker! Rip Haywire: It figures you'd know my mother! Highwayman: Say goodbye to your chin, hero! You're gonna lose it! To be continued... Narrator: Rip's life is about to change when his Dad, in a sudden fit of responsibility, assigns Rip his toughest mission yet: a historically all-girls summer camp. Will Rip learn how to get along with his feminine camp mates, most of whom have never even seen a flame thrower, let alone used one to fend off a pack of rabid hyenas? Can Rip solve the mysteries that surround the camp and one intriguing in particular? Readers will follow Rip's misadventures in his whimsically illustrated journal, helping him to solve puzzels and beat the bad guys, as he learns that friendship can be more valuable than ancient treasure, and more powerful than a well-placed land mine.
