After a masked robber escapes with three thousand dollars from the Second National Bank, Sheriff Joe Cook wants action. Instead, he finds Shorty McKay visiting the library and newspaper office while an expanding company of local heroes attracts the town’s attention.
Shorty’s apparently roundabout inquiries gradually connect the boasts, testimony and contradictions surrounding the robbery. Humphreys mixes detection with comic friction between sheriff and deputy in this complete Western Story Magazine tale, first published on 30 March 1929.
