Summary
Duplicity can land a cowboy in a pile of trouble, and a pile of trouble is where Johnny Paynter has landed. Two names, two identities, two lives and one very beautiful wife can keep a man confused most all of the time. If only Johnny had told the truth in the beginning, he would not be breaking his lovely bride\'s heart and he would certainly be closer to locating the outlaws who murdered his brother. Sally Golding is thrilled to have a second chance at happiness. When her long-awaited proposal from Mark Paynter arrives in the mail, she uses his generous monetary gift to purchase a train ticket straight from St. Louis to Beaumont, Texas. But Mark is acting very strange for a man who seemed thrilled about getting married in the words of his letters and his new foreman gives Sally great cause for concern. This light, western tale proves that the truth always comes out in the end, even though Johnny and Sally sure take their time finding that out. Enjoy this creative look at \"home on the range\" in 1885 Beaumont, Texas.
