Big Boy #1
In the Pacific in 1944, two shipwrecked men wash ashore on a remote island, where the natives instantly bow to Doyle, mistaking him for a god due to his diving gear. As raids from a neighboring tribe threaten their new home, Doyle uses dynamite to defend the island, embracing his role as a divine ruler—until his companion Howell intervenes, knocking him out and dragging him back to safety aboard a passing U.S. ship.
In "Mon camion était condamné," wildcatter Barney takes on a perilous mission: driving a barrel of nitro through the South American jungle, knowing full well the dangers lurking in the dense wilderness. When the journey turns treacherous and the barrel leaks, Barney is stunned to find it contains only coconut oil—until his brother Eddie arrives to reveal the truth behind the deception.
Pilot John Marston’s routine flight takes a strange turn when he collides with a flying saucer, leaving no mark on his plane—though the craft itself vanishes. When he reports the encounter, authorities find no evidence, but Marston insists he saw the alien ship land in the Nevada desert. After being questioned and cleared by a lie detector, he flies east at 19,000 feet and disappears without a trace.
In Oklahoma, Jim and Edna flee an approaching twister, seeking shelter behind a fragile wagon as the storm levels the farm buildings around them.

As weeks pass, Davy sets out to reclaim his name and weapon, facing a test of skill and wit in a showdown that will prove who truly stands behind the rifle.
