Billy Jenkins' career spans the years 1895-1954. He was King of the Cowboys, the most popular act in all Germany, hero of German pulp fiction - the last genuine hero of the "American" Wild West. Yet, like Karl May before him, he never set foot in America... Billy became one of the world's earliest superstars.

In 1932, after joining the Nazi Party, he became their favorite, and soon reached the pinnacle of his success - this, despite the fact that he was half-Jewish! As his star waned, not because he was Jewish but because his name sounded too American as Germany entered World War II, Billy rediscovered his Jewish roots, and... but that's for the reader to find out.
