A Valuable Lesson: After finally collecting 50 star bottle caps and returning to Festus, he will reveal that the reward is to hear the story of how Sunset Sarsaparilla was invented: a saloon owner made a deal with a strange man to manufacture a soft drink based on a recipe made by the man, and the owner is implied to have had the man killed so he could take all the credit and profits for himself.

After the courier has 50 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps, return to Festus to reclaim the prize.
