Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Young loner Dick, who lives in the poor mining town of Estherslope, happens upon a small handgun one day and feels strangely drawn to it despite his fervent pacifist views. With his newfound partner he soon convinces the town's other young outcasts to join him in a secret club he calls The Dandies, a club based on the principles of pacifism and guns. Despite their firm belief in the most important Dandy rule of all--never draw your weapons--they soon get into a predicament where they realize that rules are made to be broken.
