Plot

Lucky Luke involves himself in a quarrel between peaceful farmers and unscrupulous (and fattened-up) ranchers led by Cass Casey who indiscriminately drive their cattle right across the farmers' crops in search of new pastures. The only way the farmers can see to stop this continual rampage is to use the titular material to fence off and protect their land: barbed wire. With the assistance of Lucky Luke, both sides eventually come to realize that without greens there can be no meat, and the matter is settled in the usual happy-end manner.

Characters
  • Vernon and Annabelle Phelps: Farmers who own land on the prairie.
  • Cass Casey: A rancher.

gollark: If you don't have a political view on some topic, you will not do those due to that.
gollark: People with political views which aren't "I don't have a political view" will probably talk about it, take actions based on it, maybe shun or mock people with sufficiently different ones, sort of thing.
gollark: Perhaps by some technical definition, but not practically.
gollark: Why?
