Returning to their penitentiary once again, the Daltons encounter a peculiar character named Dunkle, a self-proclaimed prophet who is known for his fiery speeches. Despite their repeated encounters with Lucky Luke, Dunkle's relentless preaching manages to convert the ever-helpless Averell. Unbeknownst to the five, they soon embark on a joint escape, seeking refuge in a seemingly friendly and welcoming community. However, within this newfound sanctuary, each of them unleashes their own brand of chaos and discord, unaware that Lucky Luke is relentlessly tracking their every move.

As the Daltons settle into their new lives, they begin to engage in various mischievous activities, causing turmoil and discord wherever they go. Averell, under Dunkle's influence, becomes an outspoken advocate for a radical new religion, spreading his beliefs and inciting chaos among the local populace. Meanwhile, Lucky Luke, who has been following their trail, becomes increasingly concerned about the potential danger they pose to the community.

Despite their initial attempts to evade detection, Lucky Luke eventually catches up with the Daltons. In a dramatic showdown, Luke manages to outwit the five brothers and bring them to justice. Through their trials and tribulations, the Daltons learn the true meaning of repentance and the consequences of their actions. They are ultimately sentenced to serve time in a correctional facility, where they can reflect on their mistakes and work towards becoming better individuals.

The story of the Daltons serves as a cautionary tale about the power of persuasion and the importance of making responsible choices. It highlights the dangers of falling prey to charismatic individuals and the impact that their actions can have on themselves and others. Lucky Luke, as always, plays a pivotal role in bringing the Daltons to justice, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to protecting the innocent and upholding the law.
