Synopsis


Once upon a time there were three fierce robbers. In the dark of the night they walked the roads hidden under large black capes and tall black hats. The first had a blunderbuss. The second had a pepper-blower. The third a huge red axe. They terrified everyone; plundered everyplace they went! One bitter, black night the three robbers stopped a carriage that had but one passenger. The little orphan Tiffany was on her way to live with a wicked aunt. She was delighted to meet the robbers instead. Since there was no treasure to steal, the robbers bundled the girl in a warm cape and carried her away to their hideout.
