A local blowhard is causing problems with his tall tales so the town fathers decide to make use of the situation. They create the persona of Deadwood Dick and it works so well that what was once fiction starts to seem like fact.
Visitors in the town of Deadwood want to meet the famous Deadeye Dick, but the character is a product of a writer's pen. When the town leaders decide have a local storyteller pose as Deadeye Dick, they don't count on opposition from the town busybodies. But Dick may surprise them all in the face of a crisis.—ben-thayer
