| Summary | "Dough or Dynamite" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel set in the early 20th century, capturing the misadventures of a group of cowboys in the American West. The book revolves around the antics of characters such as Telescope Tolliver, Chuck Warner, and the newcomer Archibald Ames, as they navigate the challenges and quirks of ranch life, including a plot involving a stagecoach robbery and an unexpected dynamite shipment. The book likely explores themes of friendship, folly, and the absurdities of human behavior. In this entertaining tale, the cowboys are drawn into a comedic series of events when Telescope plans a daring stagecoach hold-up for a film directed by Archibald Ames, who is seeking "local color" for his project. However, things go awry as Chuck, attempting to scare the stage driver Ricky Henderson, unwittingly complicates matters by mistaking a box of dynamite for loot. As misunderstandings and slapstick situations unfold, including mistaken identities and a botched robbery, the characters find themselves caught in a web of comedic chaos. Ultimately, the story culminates in a blend of wit and laughter, leaving readers with a delightful portrayal of cowboy life and an array of quirky personalities.
