Fast-shooting, fast-shuffling John Paul Valentine (called "Jellybean" for his "smoth gloss") is the terror of the gambling tables in Mt. Holly, Kansas, a settlement so dull that even the Indians are bored by the idea of raiding it. He is also an embarrassing thorn in the side of his foster-father, Dr. Amos Birdwell, a Bible-thumping revivalist minister.
