Sam is the narrator of the story and one of the con-men who kidnaps Ebenezeer Dorset's ten-year-old son, Johnny. Shortly after kidnapping the boy, Sam heads into town and leaves Bill to watch the boy who they plan on ransoming. When Sam arrives back at the camp, which is located in a cave on the outskirts of town, Bill is nursing his wounds and explains that they are playing Indian. Johnny, who calls himself Red Chief, gives Bill the name Old Hank and Sam the name Snake-Eye, the Spy. Red Chief then announces that Snake-Eye will be boiled at the stake in the morning. Johnny proceeds to call Sam Snake-Eye and Bill Old Hank the entire time they are waiting for his father to pay the ransom. Ironically, Snake-Eye and Old Hank end up paying Ebenezeer money to take back his son, who has been terrorizing them since the day he was kidnapped.
