Dough or Dynamite
By Tuttle, W. C.
When a roly-poly motion-picture man arrives at the Cross J ranch hunting for 'local color,' he convinces vain cowpuncher Telescope Tolliver that stardom awaits—if he'll stage a real stage hold-up for the cameras. But in Yaller Rock County, no scheme stays simple: soon the bunkhouse boys are tangled up in missing gold shipments, a suspicious sheriff, a box of dynamite, and a slippery outlaw nobody can quite pin down. Narrated in the wry drawl of ranch hand Henry Peck, this rollicking comedy of errors piles misunderstanding on mischief until the whole county is turned upside down. A classic humorous pulp Western from the pages of Adventure Magazine, packed with banter, blunders, and cowboy poetry of dubious quality.
