Brick and Brack tangle with a newfangled automobile that's caused all manner of frontier chaos—Brack's proud of his new car despite its lack of brakes, a design flaw he solves in the most practical way possible. When Brick questions the wisdom of riding around in such a contraption, the two get into their typical rough-and-tumble squabble, with Brack's horseman pride clashing against Brick's newfound automotive enthusiasm.

The Fiddling Fool!

When two crooks steal the proceeds from a town dance, they stash their loot inside Gabby Hayes' fiddle—only to find the old musician absolutely determined to perform his planned concert, no matter how much the crowd (and the thieves) despise his squeaking. Gabby's stubborn dedication to his music creates comic chaos as the Benson boys scramble to stop him before he discovers what's hidden in his instrument, leading to a wild dance-hall brawl that accidentally exposes their crime.

The Banana Bonanza!
7 pp · Western-Frontier

When Gabby Hayes overhears a merchant desperate to unload a carload of bananas, the quick-thinking foreman smells a fortune—only to discover he's bought himself a heap of yellow trouble that won't sell in the frontier town. Stuck with worthless fruit and his pride, Gabby finds his bananas becoming an unexpected weapon when outlaws take him hostage during a bank robbery. It's a wild ride where a man's worst purchase just might save the day.

Loco Lew Has Squashed Brains
1 pp · Humor, Western-Frontier

Loco Lew falls head over heels for a new girl in town and gets some well-meaning dating advice—buy her chocolates and sit in a theater box with her at the old opera house. Trouble is, our lovesick hero takes the instructions a bit too literally, with comedic results that land him right in the story's punchline.

The Vultures
4 pp · Western-Frontier

Young Falcon, the lone survivor of the massacred Truefeather tribe, discovers a family dying of thirst in the desert—victims of poisoned water supplied by ruthless men plotting to steal their gold. Racing against circling vultures and an approaching sandstorm, Young Falcon devises a clever trap to stop the thieves before they can claim their prize.

Tombstone Trickery!
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When a notorious killer named Trigger Mortis rides into Rawhide, terror grips the town—but stone cutter Tombstone Chipps sees opportunity for business, having secretly hired the gunslinger to create customers for his headstone trade. Gabby Hayes reluctantly takes on the job of deputy when the sheriff is away and must outwit the feared killer, only to discover the real conspiracy brewing right under his nose. It's a wild showdown where quick thinking and a well-polished badge prove mightier than bullets in "Tombstone Trickery!"
