Gustav "Old Red" Amlingmeyer and his brother, Ctto (a.k.a. "Big Red"), cowpokes by training, discovered Sherlock Holmes through the stories and are now devotees of his method of detectifying". The two brothers are in San Francisco in 1893 with an eye towards a real detective job. But that's not working so well and they are footloose, a little broke, and not-so-fancy-free. But serendipity is on their side. They run into an old acquaintance in Chinatown, who takes a shot at them. The girl Big Red has been searching for shows up bearing bad news. And a group of hatchet wielding Chinese tong members are out for their blood.Yep, their luck has changed - what was once merely bad is now truly catastrophic.
