Black Diamond confronts outlaws working for the crooked Denton at his ranch, where they have been rustling cattle and killing lawmen. After discovering crooked horseshoe prints linking Denton to the crimes, Black Diamond tracks the villains to Denton's property. During the confrontation, Black Diamond is shot in the arm by Denton, but manages to defeat him. The issue concludes with the revelation that Mr. Grant had turned the railroad on purpose so SOS could buy up the land cheaply, and the sheriff plans to wreck the locomotive and derail the train to stop the scheme.

Contains 3 stories
The Pastures of Peril
10 pp · Western-Frontier

The Black Diamond and his sidekick Bumper arrive in Tyler Valley to find murder and rustling plaguing the ranches—and a smooth-talking man named Carl Denton offering a suspicious "solution" that could trap the desperate ranchers into his scheme. When the Black Diamond uncovers Denton's link to the outlaws who killed rancher Jim Brook, he sets a trap to draw out the culprits and expose the conspiracy threatening the valley's future. It's a classic Western showdown between justice and greed, with the stakes as high as the pastures themselves.

Vengeance at the Rodeo
9 pp · Western-Frontier

When a Brahma bull breaks loose at the rodeo, Buck Roper risks his own hide to save a fellow worker named Dinky from the charging beast—but Dinky, dazed and in pain, blames Buck for the accident and swears vengeance. As Buck sets out to convince Dinky of his innocence, he finds himself hunted through the hills by an angry, armed man and stalked by a mountain lion, forcing him to make an impossible choice between his own survival and saving the life of someone bent on killing him.

Ride to Doom!
9 pp · Western-Frontier

When a railroad survey threatens to cross sacred tribal lands, Red Fire—a man caught between two worlds—is sent to broker peace between the sheriff and Chief Sitting Bird, only to discover that the real conflict runs deeper than anyone suspected. As Red Fire races to expose the truth behind the railroad's true route, he finds himself hunted by a posse and the tracks themselves becoming a deadly weapon in the hands of those who profit from deception. A desperate rider must choose sides when the train itself becomes the instrument of someone's greed.
