"Creepin' Tintypes" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the wild landscape of the American West, the narrative follows the exploits of two hapless characters, Ike Harper and Dirty Shirt Jones, who become embroiled in a scheme involving a bank robbery that goes hilariously awry. The book captures the essence of Western life, infusing it with comedic elements and dialogue that reflect the unique vernacular of the time. In "Creepin' Tintypes," Ike and Dirty find themselves helping a bumbling sheriff capture a suspect named Tombstone Todd but soon become reluctant participants in a movie-maker's attempt to stage an authentic Western bank robbery. As they disguised themselves as scientists searching for a dinosaur, they inadvertently create chaos in the town of Piperock during its anniversary celebration. The pair's misadventures lead to a series of comedic mishaps, culminating in an accidental escape from the law rather than any real success. Ultimately, their journey highlights the absurdities of life in the frontier, filled with colorful characters and unforeseen consequences that keep readers entertained throughout.
