The issue features the story "Indian Uprising," in which the Fargo Kid intervenes when marauding desperadoes bushwhack a stagecoach carrying gold, resulting in multiple killings. An Apache warrior named Natchi takes credit for the deaths and leads his tribe against cavalry-protected gold shipments, but the Fargo Kid tracks down the truth about what really happened and confronts the false warrior, revealing that the actual culprits were a helpless woman and Jeff Burnham.

Contains 4 stories
The Coward!
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When the Fargo Kid is hired to guide a cavalry detail through dangerous territory, he finds himself at odds with the skeptical Lieutenant Osborne—a by-the-book officer who dismisses the scout's warnings about an ambush set by the outlaw Carpenter. When trouble strikes exactly as predicted, the lieutenant freezes in fear, forcing the Fargo Kid to pull him back together and devise a bold plan to save the trapped troop. Watch as a man confronts his deepest shame and discovers what real courage demands.

Indian Uprising
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When a series of stage robberies blamed on Native Americans threatens to plunge the town of Eldorado into violence, the Fargo Kid rides out to meet with Chief Red Horse and learn the truth. What he discovers sets him on a dangerous course to expose the real criminals and prevent a war between settlers and tribes. With trust hanging by a thread and gold at stake, the Kid must navigate betrayal and gunfire to restore peace.

Revenge Forgotten!
6 pp · Western-Frontier

Jeff Burnham returns home to find his wife Janie killed by an arrow—and swears vengeance on the Apache people responsible. When his blood brother Natchi reveals that the true killers are two young warriors from his own tribe, the two men must face them through tribal law and single combat, only to discover that justice and revenge don't always mean the same thing.

Dangerous Disguise
6.75 pp · Western-Frontier

When the Fargo Kid arrives at a Wells-Fargo remount station to find his old friend Sam wounded and desperate, he learns that the escaped outlaw "Powder River" Andrews and his gang have taken over the territory—cutting off the road to Dry Gap and waiting to ambush an incoming stage carrying fifty thousand dollars in cattle money. The Fargo Kid devises a bold plan to stop them, but infiltrating Andrews' hideout at the Running T ranch means adopting a dangerous disguise that could get him killed the moment his cover is blown. With wits and quick draw as his only real weapons, he'll have to outthink a ruthless gang before their stage robbery succeeds.
