By happenstance, Henry extricates Sally Morgan, a coy maiden winsomely played by Beth Austin, from the maritally-minded clutches of Sheriff Bob (J. Kevin Scannell), a sage brush Keystone Kop.

Admirers, and the uninitiated, can sate themselves by exploring this brilliant full-length collection. The Art of Glen Loates by Paul Duval (Cerebrus/Prentice-Hall; unpaginated; $35) traces the evolution of the artist's unique style and may inspire some readers to emulate his practice of stalking the wilds to get close to his subjects.
