Four Color #271

In "Phantom of the Plains," Porky and Petunia head to the Bar-Soap Ranch, run by Petunia’s uncle Baked Ham, only to be ambushed by the hypnotized Sylvester. When the Sheriff clears up the confusion, they discover that the real villain—formerly known as Hypnotic Harry—has vanished, leaving behind a cryptic note and claiming the name "The Phantom." With Baked Ham kidnapped and a map to a lost gold mine gone missing, the trail leads deep into the frontier, where every shadow might hide a secret.

When Porky takes a new job delivering packages for Mr. Muldooly, he’s unaware that Cicero—left out of the gig—has a playful grudge. The prank takes a wild turn when Cicero sends a special delivery straight to Mr. Yahooty, the circus tightrope walker, setting off a chain of absurd, high-stakes antics.
