Summary
Deep undertones of shuddering truth emerge from this drunken slug fest. The cowboy is a Vietnam veteran who keeps pouring liquor down the Indian and needling him. He challenges the Indian to a fight.

Fortunately, a worried waitress intercedes. Published in Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 17th Series.
