☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains a story involving Wild Bill Hickok and Annie Oakley pursuing a stagecoach robbery. After a stage carrying money is held up, Wild Bill and Annie track the thieves through a storm to where the trail breaks at a fork, planning to ambush the criminals at the wrong location. The story continues with complications including a monogrammed button belonging to Jeremy Taylor, the stage owner's son, which implicates him in the theft and reveals a scheme involving forged bank documents. A parallel plot follows the outlaw Mitch Horner, hiding in a border town saloon in Salinas, who is eventually identified as the wanted criminal Monte Hale, leading to his capture.
Wild Bill Hickok accepts the marshal's job in the rough Kansas town of Hays—a place so lawless that locals have nicknamed it Trigger Town—where two previous lawmen fell to gunfire. When Hickok arrives and sets down his first rule against gunplay within town limits, the gambling-joint owners grow desperate enough to hire an assassin to stop him. Hickok must outwit the danger closing in around him if the town is ever to know peace.
When Jesse James stops a well-dressed man from roughing up a young woman named Phoebe Arnold at a supply store, it seems like a simple good deed—until a monogrammed button lost in the scuffle becomes evidence in a stagecoach robbery. Now Jesse finds himself framed for the crime, and Phoebe must reckon with the troubling truth about who really orchestrated the holdup. A tense Western where a moment of chivalry sets off a chain of deception and revelation.
Big Bow and Little Arrow are hungry and desperate for food, but with a mounting debt at the general store, they can't afford to buy anything. When Little Arrow hatches a scheme to get groceries by feigning anger and "accidentally" dropping items so they'll roll out the door, Big Bow gives it a try—only to have his plan backfire spectacularly. Now the two con artists must deal with an angry storekeeper who's far more resourceful than they bargained for.
