Chapter 13 Summary

On the eve of the election, Snobbcraft and Dr. Buggerie have Snobbcraft's employee and aviator, Frazier, prepare Snobbcraft's plane for takeoff so that they can leave town. Snobbcraft announces that they are going to his ranch in Chihuahua, but Frazier informs him that there is not enough gasoline to get there. At that moment, an angry mob arrives, and they are forced to take off. The plane runs out of gas as they are flying over Mississippi, and Buggerie and Snobbcraft are worried about being killed if people realize who they are. Buggerie finds a box of shoe polish in his pocket, and he and Snobbcraft paint their arms and faces black to disguise themselves. The plane crashes as they try to land, and Frazier dies.
