So when Jigger Bunts, an eighteen-year-old from New York who was familiar with riding and roping, happened along, he was hired even though his youth was a red flag to Reynard. To pass the time in the bunkhouse, the other cowhands spin tall tales for Bunts, whom they call the kid, about the exploits of Reynard, and soon Reynard becomes Bunts' hero and role model. Reynard quickly tires of the hero worship, so he concocts a new hero for the kid in Louis Dalfieri, based merely on a picture. Dalfieri replaces Reynard in the kid's mind as his hero, especially when the yarns the punchers tell the kid about this two-gun Robin Hood become outrageous. When a stranger is brought to the ranch by Bunts and he cheats the Bar L cowboys in a game of poker, the kid takes off to get their money back, to right the wrong as he believes Dalfieri would. This decision sends him down a path outside the law from which there appears to be no return, and for which Reynard can only blame himself. Reynard had all but given up hope to help Jigger Bunts when his mind is changed by a chance encounter with an old friend, Maybelle Crofter.

Jimmy Green žije svůj bezstarostný klukovský život v městečku Fort Anxious na severu Kanady do chvíle, než potká záhadného cizince z Alabamy, který jeho život zcela změní. Chlapec cítí od prvního okamžiku k Alabamovi zvláštní náklonnost a stojí mu věrně po boku, přestože většina obyvatel ho z počátku zavrhuje jako podezřelé indivium, jako kejklíře a tuláka. Oba spolu vytvoří nerozlučnou dvojici, která prožívá neuvěřitelná dobrodružství. Jechich cesta za potrestáním vraha, střetnutí s policií i překrásná krajina, drsná a roztodivná, přátelství s velkým vlčákem Mishe Mukwou, to vše se prolíná s bojem, kdy dochází ke střetnutí na život a na smrt.
