Four Color #319

In "The Trail to Danger," a quick-witted conman makes a daring escape on a moving train, swapping a briefcase of cash for one filled with cut paper before leaping to safety. When Rickey West sees the stunt, the crook plays injured, convincing Rickey to leave him behind to fetch help—setting off a tense pursuit across the frontier.

In the frozen peaks of the frontier, Rickey leads his horse, Champion, and his steed Rebel on a desperate search for the elusive colt Starlight, lost in the snow. When a lone wolf threatens the young horse, Champion steps in to save the day—proving his loyalty and courage in the harshest of conditions.

In the dusty frontier of *Four Color #319*, Jo Hicks, a disgruntled ranchhand fired for his cruelty, plots revenge against Champion by hiring two men to burn down the Flying A’s barn—only for Rebel and Smoky Ashton to foil the attack. When the scheme fails, the trio turns to kidnapping Ricky West, setting off a tense standoff that tests loyalty and justice on the open range.
