Roger Frank and Sue Clark "In Self-defense" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous short story written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted work follows the escapades of two cowboys, Ren Merton and Sig Watson, who are constantly seeking adventure and often landing themselves in comical situations. The book explores themes of friendship, romance, and the antics that arise in a small-town setting amid cowboy culture. The storyline revolves around Ren and Sig, who decide to leave their cattle-punching jobs and venture into business for themselves, only to find themselves entangled in misunderstandings and romantic pursuits. The arrival of two women, Matilda and Rosalind, sparks their interests and leads to a series of humorous events, including mix-ups with a preacher and a staged hold-up plan that goes awry. Miscommunication and slapstick situations ensue, all culminating in unexpected romances and comic revelations about identity and loyalty, particularly when Ren’s hidden wealth is revealed, complicating matters of the heart in the town of Piperock.
