John Scovil had brought his daughter out west to snap her out of her lethargy, but nothing he did could stir her interest in the wild surroundings.
Deciding a staged kidnapping might awaken her spirit, he hires a handsome young rogue to abduct her to the mountains. But they both get more than they bargained for when his pretty daughter's spirit wakes up indeed - with a thirst for action and adventure.
The combination of Max Brand's words and the reader's diction sets the tone for this light-hearted Western with a romantic twist. Disdainful of her father's control, Nancy feigns boredom to avoid all activities planned by him. After she's kidnapped her life is opened to many new adventures. Roger Dressler's deep voice heightens the authenticity of this male dominated story. It becomes animated during the barroom brawls and when characters snarl their displeasure that Nancy is not treated like a lady. Dressler also slows and softens his voice appropriately when Nancy speaks. This enjoyable Western touched with humor will keep patrons listening to the end. C.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
