    Dead Man’s Gulch has joined the Temperance Society!!!

    The booze has run out and the peasants are revolting. Snake Eyed Pete, proprietor of the ‘Red Hotel’ has tasked Sam Burley to buy up and fetch the last barrel of Rotgut in the Territory. Pete’s underlings around town have gleaned that Madam Bovery, his bitter enemy and arch rival scumbag, plans to rob him of this priceless artefact!

    Young Sam is strong in’t arm, but short in’t head. As he ambles into town with the goodies he’s forgotten the way to Snake Eyed Pete’s Saloon…

    Snake Eyed Pete and his henchmen are determined to thwart Madam Bovery’s planned dastardly. An important denizen of the Gulch can be seen wandering down main street, one Doc Pearson, the good Doc/quack is always ready to help a stricken shootist, problem is he’s the only one in town still permanently drunk on medicinal alcohol. His well intentioned ministrations have been known to turn a bad dose of lead poisoning fatal…

    Madam Bovery’s plan swings into action, she’s aided and abetted by her sister Mildred and Dolores Trollope, bestest little whore in the Gulch…

    Septimus M Barme, town undertaker, sends his gravedigger to check on vacancies in Boot Hill…

    Reinforcements for Snake Eyed Pete, or a relative turned up to watch the fun?

    Both sides begin the classic walk down mainstreet, open fire then dive for cover…

    Shotguns roar and sixguns rattle, but this ain’t Hollywood pardner, in real life guns run out of bullets!

    But before they do Madam Bovery takes a shotgun blast in the shoulder. A very shifty looking blighter from Snake Eyed Pete’s scumbags makes sure she stays down slashing her whistlepipe with his scalping knife…

    Dolores, goes on one at the death of her mentor, breaks cover and starts blasting, she gets the ‘dead man’s click’ and is cut down…

    One of Madam Bovery’s, now, ex-underlings gets tactical and climbs on a roof making good practice thinning Snake Eyed Pete’s minions…

    Sadly, her swift demise puts an end to the fight…

    Conclusions between the two gangs commenced at high noon, by quarter past Madam Bovery and her gang were all candidates for Boot Hill. Snake Eyed Pete gets arrested and thrown in chokey for disturbing the peace, but wot of Big Sam and the Rotgut you may well ask?

    Sam took a wrong turning and got lost, taking no part in proceedings. He finally made delivery to the ‘Red Hotel’, after three laps of the Territory, consequently peace and harmony returned to ‘Dead Man’s Gulch’.
