Bat Masterson Leaves the West
Wed, Sep 4, 2024
After leaving Dodge City, Bat Masterson takes a job as manager of the Palace Variety Theatre in Denver. There he has to wrangle an unruly cast of performers, including Emma Walter, a juggling virtuoso known as the Queen of Clubs. At first, Emma is openly skeptical of the new manager, mistaking Bat for a hot-headed gunslinger, but when Bat confronts the dangerous criminal Soapy Smith and protects the Palace without firing a shot, Emma starts to reconsider. Just as the unlikely pair begins to fall in love, Emma's juggling career is suddenly cut short by a seizure. Unable to stand the thought of being apart from Emma, Bat proposes on the spot. Life seems set for the Mastersons until Bat volunteers as a deputy on Election Day. When a gang engages in ballot tampering, and Bat is forced to draw his gun yet again, he begins to question his life as a gunslinger.
