Stick and Whittle

(2) 4-6 Civil War veteran Stick and orphan Whittle meet at an isolated campsite along the Chisholm Trail, signaling the beginning of a beautiful friendship and an entertaining adventure. Stick and Whittle plan a raid and, with the help of some genre-appropriate stock characters, rescue Stick's kidnapped sweetheart. Hite's laidback tone leaves no doubt that all will end happily; his tongue-in-cheek telling defines the adventure as a diversionary romp.
