These five stories range from the surreal to the tear - jerker, as the Old West is turned upside down by its boots and shaken until all common sense falls out into a crucible of parody.

"Too Long in the Saddle" follows the exploits of a Boston newspaper reporter who is ordered on assignment to frontier Kansas.

"Code of the Ranger" travels with a quartet of Arizona Rangers who - without extradition papers - must ride undercover into Texas to bring back Bad Bob Banning. Once they capture him, can they make it out of Texas alive?

In "Gourd," fourteen-year-old Curtis Blaydes loses his father and mother. Alone he continues to run the family homestead in the hinterlands of south Texas, until a visitor arrives.

"Niobrara" introduces a notable triangle of youngsters in northern Nebraska. When they grow older, the triangle breaks under the stress of divergent careers.
