Their adventure is interrupted when Jimmy takes out his revenge on Judge Thatcher by kidnapping Becky, with the help of two accomplices. Becky knows she must remain strong in order to overcome her ordeal. Tom, believing he is to blame for her kidnapping, goes in search for her.After Becky's escape, she and Tom resume their adventure within the Stantan Home.
