While he's chasing two dangerous men who escaped from Fort Atkinson when they were waiting to be transferred to St. Louis Prison, Zagor learns that the two criminals are looking for a mysterious totem, that a Spanish conquistador had stolen. According to a legend, precious gems cover the figure entirely. But the idol is also rumored to be a cursed object, that can kill those who defile it…
Another short humorous tale that appeared as an appendix to Zagor. The protagonist is a certain Teddy Noccol who, upon reaching Okay-baby City, is inexplicably elected sheriff but… there is a plot afoot!
