About this audiobook
Discover the Old West as only W. C. Tuttle can tell it with his signature blend of high-stakes action and sharp-witted humor. In "The Curse of Drink," a hilarious farce about the cowtown of San Pablo's attempt to stage a disastrous amateur play for charity. When well-meaning but hapless cowboys Hozie Sykes and Peewee Parker are roped into the production by a con-artist "Dramatic Teacher," the performance descends into a calamitous slapstick spectacle, highlighted by a botched "ascension to heaven" scene where the angelic pulley system snaps. The mayhem continues in "By Order of Buck Brady," a classic Western cowboy feud is set to erupt in the dusty town of Mojave Wells as rivals Bud Hickman and Pete Asher schedule a sundown showdown over a woman. The duty of preventing bloodshed falls to the town's unassuming sheriff, Buck Brady. While seemingly preoccupied with whittling, the clever lawman posts official notices to confiscate all firearms, then meticulously pulls the bullets from the rivals' cartridges before returning the dud-filled guns for their "showdown." After the cowboys' weapons produce nothing but clicks, Brady reveals the feud's ultimate absurdity: he had married the woman at the center of the dispute himself over a week ago. Together, these tales reveal a West where the ultimate victory lies not with the fastest gun, but with the quietest wedding license, and where a spectacularly disastrous play provides more genuine entertainment than any successful performance ever could. Prepare to discover the action, humor, and brilliant twists that make W. C. Tuttle a master of the Western genre. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
