Henry goes prehistoric

The story follows Henry Harrison Conroy, a former vaudeville performer turned sheriff of Tonto City, and his oddball law team—Judge Van Treece and jailer Oscar Johnson—as they confront rising crime and political pressure after new gold strikes bring unscrupulous outsiders. Facing smear campaigns from local officials and a scheming faction that seeks to replace him, Henry balances comic resourcefulness and small‑town improvisation while investigating thefts, brawls, and intrigues. Episodic scenes mix western action and farce through colorful supporting figures, rustic humor, and satiric portraits of booster politics and backroom alliances.
