Summary
In Silver Springs, the outwardly sleepy Deputy Sheriff Napoleon “Ducky” Drake poses as a bumbling, overweight officer while quietly handling the business of the town. In a barroom conversation with a newcomer from Milwaukee, he talks about reward notices, including one for the diamond thief Clarence B. “Dandy Claire” Winslow, and reveals both his knowledge of local crime and his deceptive, shrewd nature. The exchange also shows how Ducky’s plainspoken manner and small-town routine can hide a far more capable man hunter.
