Frontier Western #4

In "Man Trap!", two outlaws, Elson and Stagg, see the Ringo Kid fleeing a posse and decide to capture him for the bounty, following him into the lawless town of Pilares. Once there, the Ringo Kid frees the town’s jailed inmates, and teams up with ex-sheriff Jim Belmont to confront the real menace: the corrupt and dangerous Shark Diston.

In "Gun-Fight in Tombstone," the feared gunslinger Hank Hawke rides into Tombstone, his name alone enough to stir unease. He provokes a card game in the saloon, testing the town’s nerve—until the sheriff arrives and demands a choice: draw or surrender. The tense standoff reveals that Hawke’s reputation was built on intimidation, not true courage, and the moment of confrontation exposes the truth behind his legend.

In "The Man Who Hated Soldiers!", a young woman’s choice to marry a cavalryman sparks fury in a man who despises the uniform. After a violent outburst, he’s captured by the Sioux and saved by the very soldier he scorned—leading to a surprising shift in his beliefs and a decision that will change his life.

In "Battle for Survival!", Billy and Soapy are captured by the warlike Cahitas and accused of causing the scarcity of game. With the chief’s son doubting the medicine man’s claims, the two are freed and given a chance to prove their worth. When Billy discovers the tracks of an enormous buffalo herd, he leads the Cahita braves on a desperate hunt that could change everything.

In "The Holdup!", a young man named Clay Barton is ambushed by a masked bandit who steals his pouch of gold nuggets and his horse, leaving him to walk eleven hours back to town. With no signs of struggle on his body, Barton is arrested, but after weeks of detention, he’s released and returns to the scene of the crime. Suspecting a local man named Simms, Barton confronts him, and the sheriff overhears the confession.
