Synopsis: He was headed for a silver mine when they made him sheriff—now the hapless gunslinger might be headed for an early grave in this Western series. There are a lot of ways a man can end up on a wanted poster, but no one&’s done it quite like Dooley Monahan. On the trail west, he stops a bear from making lunch of the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody. In turn, Cody grubstakes Dooley for the purchase of a silver mine in Leadville, Colorado. Dooley can&’t believe his good luck. But when he guns down three deadly outlaws, the grateful townsfolk pin a sheriff&’s badge on him. And that&’s when Dooley&’s luck runs out . . . Turns out there&’s a war going on between two rival gangs. Stagecoaches are being robbed every other day, and fingers are being pointed at Dooley himself. There&’s a tradition here in these parts, he discovers. If a sheriff&’s no good, they hang him. And if the next one&’s no better, they hang him twice.
