To begin with, the stories of Red Chief’s Ransom and the short video both have similarities and differences of their own.

Second, is that Bill doesn’t have a brick thrown at him during the kidnapping like in the story. Also, to add, they didn’t offer him candy but instead threw Red Chief into a luggage box. Third, they never say Red Chief’s actual name in the movie but his real name is Johnny Dorset. One of the biggest differences would have to be that they aren’t in a cave but are placed in the middle of the woods unlike the short story. However, there are some similarities that they both share, such as, the ransom is signed
