Wilbur and Orville, a.k.a. the Riot Brothers, decide to catch a bank robber, hunt for treasure, and "overthrow a king." In each bland escapade, the boys get sidetracked en route to the story's not-quite-expected conclusion. The tales meander, but Amato clearly understands the silly games and jokes that kids enjoy.
