Things are indeed changing in Evolution, Kansas, with a charming mix of the old side by side with the new. Not so charming is the cocky young gunslinger, Roscoe Bookbinder, who's leeched on to the Gunsmith before he can even down his first drink.
Looking past the pearl-handled guns and fancy clothes, Clint tries to transform Roscoe into someone he'd be proud to call his sidekick. And soon he'll teach him his most important lesson: Gunslingers make fast enemies, no matter how green they are...
