When Love’s Labor’s Lost

by W. C. Tuttle

In the rowdy frontier town of Piperock, a misguided Labor Day celebration spirals into chaos when a committee of eccentric locals schemes to stage a bull-versus-lion fight—only to find themselves entangled in a farcical battle of wits, wildlife, and whiskey. As a reluctant cowboy, a drunken referee, and a preacher with a change of heart navigate a series of disastrous mishaps, the line between predator and prey blurs in this uproarious Western tall tale of ambition, absurdity, and the perils of community spirit gone awry.

Transcribed from Adventure, February 18, 1921 (The Ridgway Company).
