C. Tuttle is a short story that falls within the western genre, written in the late 1920s. The story explores themes of identity, morality, and the complexity of familial relations in the rugged backdrop of the American West, framed through the interactions between two twin brothers—one a sheriff and the other a bank robber. The narrative begins with a tense standoff between the sheriff, Ben, and his twin brother, Harry, who has just robbed a bank. The brothers engage in a witty, antagonistic dialogue, revealing their starkly different paths in life. As the plot unfolds, Harry overpowers Ben, leading to a violent struggle that ends with Ben's death. Harry assumes his brother’s identity, planning to exploit the situation in Oro City.

The story culminates with his capture, revealing the futility of his deceit and the tragic ends to which their choices have led them.
