The Sheriff of Hell

A DANDY IN HELL Hell Arizona is a flea-bitten two-horse town inhabited mostly by people with nowhere else to go. Drifters, tired worn out settlers and lots of outlaws. One of the few going concerns is the brothel operated by Golden Annie. One day a slim, emaciated Englishman in a bowler hat arrives asking if he might be allowed to play Golden Annies's piano situated in the parlor. Surprised by the fellow's look and demeanor, Annie agrees and is then impressed with his skills on the ivory keys. Enough to hire him on.

And thus Percy Smith becomes Hell's newest resident. Then a series of unfortunate events leads to his killing a violent customer intent on beating one of the girls. Soon Smith becomes the target of every owlhoot in the territory and unbelievably survives every challenge he encounters until he's put a half dozen men in Boot Hill. Still puzzled by his true identity, Annie establishes Smith as the town's new sheriff and soon his reputation begins to grow across the territory. Eventually getting the attention of the meanest, roughest outlaw of them all, Old Bill. Fate has put them on a collision course and it's anybody's guess who will survive.
