# "Gold Rifle and Tiger Track"
This pulp adventure serial opens with a frontier turkey-shooting competition at a remote settlement near a Dakota railroad station during a harsh winter. Local sharpshooter Jay Toleman, son of the trading-post proprietor, dominates until a mysterious young stranger on horseback—wielding a striking gold-plated Remington rifle with a diamond-set sight—arrives and performs an extraordinary feat: shooting the "King Gobbler's" head off while balanced on his own head.
The crowd celebrates Gold Rifle's marksmanship, but three watching men—Jacob Toleman (Jay's father), Omerhaun the gunsmith, and ruffian Boover Legree—recognize his weapon as one they manufactured years earlier in Kentucky. They suspect he is the son of "Wild Walt" Wagner and believe he has been sent to track them down for past crimes. They devise a scheme to frame him as the notorious outlaw Tiger Track, whose identity remains masked.
