A Fightin' Fool is what you'd have to be to take on the Rankin boys, but that's just what Jingo did. First, he had te gall to accuse Wally of cheating at poker -- and was quicker at the draw when Wally chose to defend his "honor". Then he bet his friend that he could not only dance with, but marry the prettiest girl at the up-coming shindig. Of course she tured out to be the daughter of the judge and the sweetheart of a man who knew that the Ranking brothers were killers for hire. But Jingo wasn't one to run from trouble -- or good ol'-fashioned fightin' fun for that matter! No library descriptions found. |

Jingo is a good looking fellow who has a reputation as a gambler, gunman and trickster. Once we are in side his mind, we note these are true but he never harms anyone unless threaten and then never to kill. When he hears of a local rancher's beautiful daughter's visit to the town will be restricted to the young men she is bringing with her from the East, he promises that he will get through the barrier and dance with her. This results in him being barred from the ranch which he sees as a challenge which he overcomes by hiding in a load of hay and being dropped in the hay loft from which he enters the house to face the girl and her father.
There is a great deal of humour in this book much of which is brought about by the high jinks of the hero. ( )
