About This Book

Two roving cowboys, recovering from a night in town, come upon a film crew when they find a young actress tied to a tree and threatened by a cougar. After dispatching a wild cat that leaps out of the brush, they learn the tame cougar Oscar has slipped its collar and the company needs it recaptured to finish a picture. The narrative follows the comic clash of frontier braggadocio and Hollywood affectation, with playful banter, boastful promises to retrieve the animal, and lighthearted observations on courage, reputation, and mismatched social worlds.
