Bully McGrane
In the dust‑blown streets of Pistol Gap, law‑and‑order wears a grizzled face. Marshal Bully McGrane rules the town with an iron fist and a reputation for making fear work for him, his massive presence enough to keep most outlaws in check. When drifter Tud Drury arrives with a burro loaded with supplies—and an air of quiet defiance—the uneasy peace begins to crack.
A tense standoff outside Lisha Funston’s bank sets the stage for a rivalry that pulls the town’s miners, gamblers, and gunmen into a volatile dance of pride and violence. McGrane’s cynical enjoyment of being despised fuels his relentless grip, while Drury’s stubborn independence promises a challenge the marshal has not faced in years. Listeners will be drawn into the gritty rhythm of a frontier town where every cigar puff and clenched jaw could spell a showdown.
