This is another short western story starring Breckenridge Elkins, arguably one of Robert E. Howard's greatest character creations.

Elkins receives muddled information regarding his uncle. This leads to him venturing into Grizzly Claw where madness and mayhem ensues.

This reads like a cowboy action comedy. An entertaining read. (
