When it comes to boiling up a pot of coffee or stirring up a pot of stew Old Laramie's about as good a man as you're going to find. But other than cooking three squares a day for the cowpunchers over at the Lazy G ranch Laramie's not good for much.
But Laramie's luck?and life?are about to take an amazing turn. Quite by accident he somehow manages to save a family of Mexicans from bandits and as a token of their gratitude they give him The Magic Quirt?a horsewhip that he's told will turn him into a new man.
The transformation is indeed magical. Suddenly Laramie is performing feats of ingenuity and courage that would make even the Lone Ranger proud. But magic is a funny thing?and as Laramie's about to discover sometimes it's all an illusion.
Also includes the western adventures Vengeance Is Mine! the story of a young man who sets out to avenge his father's death only to commit an act beyond redemption; and Stacked Bullets in which a game of chance is fixed a whole town is cheated and nothing but a stack of bullets can make things right.
