Lucky Luke: A Cure for the Daltons; paperback; series No.23

The Dalton brothers are captured yet again, but reform seems impossible.

A well-meaning but eccentric psychiatrist claims he can “cure” the Daltons of their criminal tendencies.

Lucky Luke is tasked with escorting the brothers through the doctor’s experimental treatments.

The Daltons undergo humorous and bizarre therapy sessions, from role-playing to hypnosis.

Joe Dalton resists all attempts at reform, while the others waver between crime and “good behavior.”

The doctor’s methods backfire, causing chaos and confusion.

In the end, Lucky Luke must restore order as the Daltons return to their true outlaw ways.
