Lark Van Schuyler is down on her luck; she?s serving alcohol to men in a saloon in Buck Shot, Oklahoma. She watches as a drunken hard-luck cowboy, Laredo, is being cheated at a poker game by Snake and friends. In order to get him away from the cheaters, she dumps a beer in the drunk?s lap, essentially ending the game. By getting involved on Laredo?s behalf, Lark loses her job.
Lark ran away from home; she was tired to living in the shadow of her perfect, mirror twin. Getting involved in the cowboy?s problems has cost her a job she couldn?t afford to lose.
The next day, Snake talks Laredo into helping him case the town?s bank. Laredo convinces Lark to hold the horses? reins while they stroll into the bank. Through a series of errors, Laredo and Snake run out of the bank, each with a bag of bank loot.
Separating quickly, the two robbers decide to meet at a distant location. When Laredo gets there, he finds Snake?s girlfriend waiting. They discover that the bag was full of cut paper and Laredo leaves ? to return to Texas. Now, all three, Laredo, Lark and Snake, are wanted for bank robbery.
Dixie, Snake?s girl, doesn?t tell Snake that Laredo?s bag didn?t have money in it; Snake?s bag had cut paper and some coins. Snake vows vengeance against Laredo.
For the first 100 pages, I thought Gentry was writing a spoof on Texas and Texans. There are 3 things I tired of quickly: (1) using most of the cliches of and about Texas, (2) so many things being a ?Mexican standoff,? and (3) allowing the story to sink to a tacky melodrama.
Most of the characters seemed made of cardboard and cliché. What a waste of paper; by the end of the story, it had been so dumbed-down; I felt that I?d wasted my time.
