Hope Ng, starved for attention or entertainment, is heading to San Francisco to live with her grandfather when her wagon train is massacred.
The buxom but leggy Miss Muriel Kitty, a professional working woman-cat-thing, and wise in the ways of the world, provides a valuable service in frontier society. The evil Doctor Schmitt-Rottluff surrounds himself with willing tools and useful fools, some of them the product of a little too much inbreeding in test-tubes.

Chapley, his alleged black nephew and Waylon, his acknowledged ‘taurian son, Nazi gryphons, erudite Injuns who read Latin and mischievous spirits who just want to see what happens next, fill out a never-before-seen, all-star cast in Louis B. Shalako’s killer debut in this genre.
Who doesn’t like telempathic horses and equine romance, or casually-stated themes of miscegenation, and illicit cloning?
