| The Death and Life of
Sneaky Fitch takes place in that mythical western town of beloved folklore-“Gopher
Gulch”… (Out west) “Gopher Gulch is “the epitome and the essence, and yes,
dag nab it, the quintessence of the old west. The old, old, old west. The
west that never really was, except in that realest of all possible unreal
worlds, the world of folklore and fiction. .except for Sneaky Fitch. Now,
Sneaky is the one ‘rotten apple’, ‘the one corrupting bit of reality’ breaking
in on this bright world of beautiful unreality. Sneaky Fitch is yellow,
afraid to draw his gun and fight like a man! And if he ever did draw his
six shooter, it would be to shoot someone in the back!
When Sneaky Fitch falls ill there is a sigh of relief, and when he apparently dies (thanks to some suspicious "medicine" administered by the departing Doc Burch) there are few tears. But when Sneaky rises from his coffin the picture changes, for no one dares confront a man who has come back from the dead. Capitalizing on his "invincibility" Sneaky soon takes over as sheriff, mayor and town banker—not to mention being the man who faces down Rackham, “the fastest gun in the West”. In short, where he was formerly unbearable he is now insufferable. But mortality (thanks to the reappearance of Doc Burch) suddenly returns, and once the truth is out it's curtains for Sneaky—this time for keeps—and all ends as boisterously and happily as you might wish.
