Explanation:
The "Ransom of Red Chief", tells the tale of two kidnappers named, Bill and Sam, who plot a scheme to kidnap a little boy named Johnny Dorset, from his home, in hopes that his father Ebenezer Dorset would pay the ransom of 2,500 dollars. Unbeknownst to them, the little boy was not loved by his father. To add to that, little Johnny was mischievous.
They waited to no avail, for Ebenezer Dorset to pay the ransom, while Johnny kept them busy with his mischief. Eventually they sent a note to Ebenezer to pay the ransom, but he told them that it would be better for them to return the boy at night when the villagers would not see them. They did this hurriedly and also ended up paying the father money.
