Molly and the Bandit

[Both novelette and screenplay are included]
Black Bart, the West’s premier highwayman, alias Charles Bolton, T.Z. Spaulding, and others, made at least 28 hold-up’s in eight years. Middle-aged, always on foot, and mostly with unloaded shotguns, he taunted the fabled Wells Fargo Express Company with doggerel signed Black Bart, The P o 8 (Poet). Resourceful and usually polite, he never robbed passengers. Freed from prison, he vanished. Based on a recently-found manuscript, the mystery of what happened is solved. Punster Bart, cloaked in more aliases, and malaprop Mad Molly Moon roam the Sierra Nevada’s, meeting a host of characters including Colonel Ord Vivian, henchman Tiberius Bing, murderous Ben Bubbs, and the intrepid John Muir. The year is 1888. Do enter.
