Time travel was the fodder of fiction until Dr. Andrew Case and his gifted physics student, Samoset Brown, found a way to activate the prop from the 1960 movie The Time Machine. They landed in 1881 Prescott, Arizona, where they adopted the personas of Jackson Coffin and Bodie Moffit, characters from a popular pulp-western paperback series. Having adapted to the Old-West lifestyle and clean air, Jackson became a famous gunslinger, and Moffit took the job of sheriff, and like their protegees, they cleared out the bad guys and brought peace to the citizens... until Lefty Branson and his gun-hands showed up to take over the town. Rather than jump in their time machine and flee, they decided to take a stand, for the good of the people, a move that would change the history of the West.
