This issue is an anthology featuring two stories. "A Bad Day for Billy" depicts Billy the Kid in a gunfight with a villain called the Black Widow; after guards pursue them, Billy and his companion Amigo escape as dynamite explosions destroy a mine shaft, with the Black Widow apparently perishing in the blast. The second story, "Cowboy," follows a group of trail drivers and cowboys from Texas, including characters named Nate Winkler and Ben Uppyke, who encounter trouble at a saloon where Uppyke suffers broken ribs and Bonney is injured; the narrative continues with discussion of finding a doctor and keeping the injured men stable.
