The Terrible Tenderfoot

Ole Gunderstrom, wealthy rancher, has been ruthlessly murdered by a mysterious band of night riders. Buck Mason, deputy sheriff and ranch owner, finds a piece of evidence at the murder scene concerning an old boot.

At the T F Dude Ranch, owned by Cory Blaine, Mason turns up in the guise of Bruce Marvel, a socialite from the East. Acting the part of a tenderfoot, he becomes very friendly with Kay White and Dora Crowell.

On a hunting trip, Kay’s horse runs away with her. Marvel (Mason) rescues her, and does it so skilfully that Blaine suspects that he isn’t the tenderfoot he claims to be.

THE TERRIBLE TENDERFOOT was published in hardcover as THE DEPUTY SHERIFF OF COMANCHE COUNTY.
