Nine Points in the Law
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the sun-blasted Montana cow town of Piperock, civic pride takes a wildly comic turn when a new motion-picture scheme collides with a bankrupt circus, rival settlements, and a Chamber of Commerce full of dangerous ideas. As cowpunchers, saloonkeepers, and self-appointed visionaries compete for glory, a menagerie of lions, tigers, and elephants turns local ambition into frontier pandemonium. W. C. Tuttle’s boisterous Western tale blends tall-tale humor, dialect-rich narration, and slapstick adventure in a raucous portrait of small-town rivalry on the range.
