By Humphreys, Ray
When a bumbling deputy's supposed romantic distraction turns out to be a shrewd disguise, he sets off alone into the treacherous Smoky Creek bad lands to outwit stage robbers who have eluded the sheriff's entire posse—proving that unconventional methods can succeed where brute force fails.
