In the early-1930s in the United States a small pacifist Christian sect known as The Lord's Sheep established itself near Moab, Utah. The sect consisted of fourteen adults (seven couples betrothed to each other before God) and sixteen children. All married couples, except for childless Peter and Abigail Gadot, had at least two children, the oldest of which was thirteen. Aside from the Gadots the males were Aaron, Barak, Elijah, Gideon, Jacob, and Solomon and the females were Claudia, Esther, Eve, Hosanna, Ruth and Sarah.
The Lord's Sheep included both male and female skilled craftsmen who made wares that were shipped over much of the United States taking advantage of Moab's convenient location for commerce, and others worked in the town in various capacities. For example Gideon was a skilled carpenter who specialized in high quality furniture, while Abigail worked as a maid in the main hotel in Moab. The sect had a few vehicles and some draft horses, and raised chickens for eggs and meat, and some vegetables, although they were not self-sufficient.
The sect was able to live relatively peacefully as long as Pat Mundey was sheriff since he and his deputies maintained law and order and applied justice uniformly. After he retired in 1934 and moved out-of-state, however, Jack Quinn, the new sheriff, wasn't the same type of man. Quinn was corrupt, cowardly, ineffective, disinterested, or some combination thereof, and order and justice suffered. Two families -- the Elder and Jenkins families -- took advantage of that.
The Elder family consisted of the father, mother, and three sons; the Jenkins the father and four sons, the mother having died in the late 1920s. All were criminals, bullies, and/or malcontents who loved to drink -- made easy once prohibition was repealed in December, 1933. One of their favorite pastimes was to harass The Lord's Sheep, made especially easy since they were pacifists. The Elder and Jenkins sons especially enjoyed harassing the women since all were young and above-average in looks. Claudia, Eve, and Ruth had beautiful faces while Esther, Hosanna and Sarah had -- as best as could be determined given the female dress of the day -- what in modern times would be called "bodacious" bodies.
Abigail was different than the others in the sect. While she gave lip service to pacifism, in reality she had a tough, no-nonsense disposition and was chastised several times by other members of the sect for her feisty personality. She was big for a woman -- especially a 1937 woman -- at five feet 11 inches tall -- and muscular. As a child she beat all the boys she knew in races, and until she turned sixteen was definitely a tomboy. When she and Peter married while she was still a teen (although the age of majority for marriage) she had a pretty, even if not classically beautiful, face, a sleek, tough, body, and mammaries much larger than a sleek woman would be expected to have.
Sheriff Quinn never did anything significant to rein in the Elder and Jenkins clans, and by 1937 their persecution of The Lord's Sheep had escalated to an unacceptable level. The attempted rape of Abigail by the two youngest Jenkins brothers when she was working as a maid at the hotel was stopped only because Abigail broke a lamp over the head of one, and kicked the other three times in the balls. When the hotel docked her pay for the cost of the lamp, and Sheriff Quinn pretended not to believe her, she quit on the spot and walked the four miles home with steam coming out of her ears.
When she got home she demanded an assembly of the sect adults and forcefully insisted that some action be taken. When Aaron, the leader, adopted his normal "turn-the-other-cheek" credo Abigail blew up. She threw down on the meeting room table a copy of a Soldier of Fortune type publication that a guest had left in one of the hotel rooms she made-up. The dog-eared page had an ad entitled "Trouble? Contact T. Rex."
"We don't have the money to hire anyone to help us," Aaron moaned when he saw the ad.
Abigail snapped up the publication and read from the ad:
"Sometimes good folk don't have the ability to deal with physical intimidation, threats, and assault. If you need help wire TRex, San Francisco. Will travel anywhere west of the Mississippi; non-monetary compensation can be negotiated; results guaranteed."
After more discussion and Abigail's persistence, the male members (the only ones allowed to vote) unanimously agreed. The next day Peter and Abigail wired "TRex," and within hours T. Rex wired back agreeing to be in Moab within forty eight hours.

Thomas James Rexroth, known most of his life as "T. Rex," was ¾ American (primarily of Dutch ancestry) and ¼ Japanese. His maternal grandfather was an intellectual who became exposed to karate as a youth in Japan and developed a fascination for it. His maternal grandfather and his American grandmother, once a nurse in Japan, moved to San Francisco before T. Rex's mother was born. When T. Rex was a young teen his grandfather introduced him to karate, unheard of in the United States at that time. As an older teen T. Rex was strong, athletic, and intellectual, but very shy and lacking self-confidence in social situations. Karate helped him develop confidence in all aspects of life.
While too young to fight in World War I, in his late teens T. Rex joined the U. S. Army in 1928 and blossomed as a fighter. He was dramatically proficient in all of the weaponry of the day, and in hand-to-hand combat, including using the karate his grandfather had taught him. He went on more than a dozen successful covert operations, never recorded in the history books and classified in military offices for more than fifty years, in other countries on behalf of the U S Government.
When T. Rex mustered out of the Army he worked in his father's business for a time while also teaching survival courses on the side. A failed love affair, boredom in working in his father's business, and a trust fund from his grandparents on both sides of the family, made him seek out adventure and allowed him the means to do so. At 6 feet one inch tall, and 225 pounds of solid muscle, he decided to become what might be variously known as a mercenary, soldier of fortune, adventurer, or as he liked to refer to himself, a paladin. Not having the need for money he enjoyed bargaining for non-monetary compensation when helping out desperate but poor clients.
T. Rex traveled between adventures in a small truck with a bedroom in the cargo compartment next to a strapped down pink motorcycle and sidecar, along with a variety of weapons. The weapons included the recently introduced (in Japan but obtained through his grandfather's contacts) Arisaka 97 bolt action sniper rifle.
**************
T. Rex showed up at The Lord's Sheep compound forty seven hours after agreeing to help out. He was first greeted by a very enthusiastic Abigail, then by all the other members of the sect, including the children. T. Rex was very impressed by the looks of the women -- especially, but certainly not only, Abigail's.
After dinner that night, the men -- and at her insistence Abigail -- met with T. Rex to discuss the abominations the sect had suffered at the hands of the Elder and Jenkins families. T. Rex was particularly disturbed by the attempted rape of Abigail, and the fact that one of the buildings in their compound had been torched the day before he arrived, with children, who fortunately got out in time, in the building when the fire started.
T. Rex assured the sect members that he could handle the situation and that within ten days they would never be bothered again. Peter and Aaron remained skeptical. Ultimately the sect males asked what compensation T. Rex required if he was successful. "Three nights with one of your beautiful women, or one night each with three of them," was his response.
The men were flabbergasted; Abigail got a sly smile, not unnoticed by T. Rex. After much protestation, offers of other compensation, and expressions of disbelief that his services could be worth that, T. Rex made a proposition. "I'll give you a free look at my abilities tomorrow. After that you either agree, or I walk."
The men of the sect seemingly agreed. T. Rex slept in the bed in the cargo area of his truck, and after breakfast the next morning told the sect adult males -- and Abigail who consistently required that she be included -- his plan for the day. Peter was reluctant to "allow" Abigail to accompany T. Rex -- especially when he rode his pink Harley with sidecar from the inside of the truck down a ramp to the ground.
"You can't go into town in that thing," Peter complained. "Everyone will think that you're a faggot," the word "faggot," as it related to describing a male homosexual, having first been introduced into American Lexicon only in 1914 but apparently already well known to Peter.
