Max Brand's amusing story of a swindle by a supposed tenderfoot upon a succession of
crooked gamblers, cowboys and Mexican bandits makes for good listening. The opportunity
for cheating Randall Dale is too good to pass up, and a hornet's nest of bad guys wants
to get in on it. Barry Corbin starts the narration with a low-key, even restrained,
approach but is drawn into the ruse much as the listener is. His pace is measured, and
the story plays out at the same rate. Slight characterizations help to keep the players
straight, but most of the dialogue is easy to follow. The short program offers a good
introduction to the genre.
