☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains three stories: "Young Falcon and the Scaly Monster," in which Young Falcon encounters a mysterious evil spirit in a ravine that he must overcome; "The Battle of Gunshot Glacier," featuring Sheriff Slim Daggle battling a notorious masked archer bandit named Archibald who stages holdups across the range; and "Gabby Hayes Rides a Whale," a humorous tale in which Gabby attempts to win a fishing contest against his rival Nellie by catching a whale, leading to comic complications when he actually lands one.
When Professor Bonehunt launches an expedition to Gunshot Glacier hunting for prehistoric creatures frozen in the ice, the ambitious reporter Cliff Hanger sees only a chance to steal the glory—and he'll stop at nothing to claim any discovery for himself. Gabby Hayes and Fred Larsen team up with the professor to outwit Hanger's sabotage and treachery across the frozen wasteland, where a blizzard, a deadly crevasse, and a very surprising discovery test their wits and courage.
When Young Falcon discovers a terrified brave from a neighboring tribe, he learns that multiple hunting parties have vanished in the nearby hills—victims of something so horrifying that survivors speak only of lizards and evil spirits. Young Falcon volunteers to investigate the mystery and face whatever creature has been decimating Chief Big Bear's hunters. Armed with only a bow, spear, and knife, he must confront a monstrous threat unlike anything he's ever encountered.
Chief Gray Matter has some unexpected wisdom for Big Winded Baraby, the ambitious politician eager to show off his oratory skills at town hall. When Baraby tries to convince the Chief to attend his speech, he gets a lesson in what makes a good talk—delivered with a punch line that lands harder than the politician expects.
Archibald the Archer rolls into Rawhide full of hot air about his marksmanship, but when a masked archer-bandit begins terrorizing the territory with uncanny skill, suspicion—and Sheriff Slim Daggle's posse—falls on the loudmouth himself. Gabby Hayes isn't convinced, and when he stumbles onto the real culprit's hideout, he finds himself in deadly crossfire that only an arrow can answer.
When Nellie Birdhat desperately needs to win a fishing contest for fifty dollars to buy food, soft-hearted Gabby Hayes—foreman of the Bar Nothing—sets out to help, though his well-intentioned schemes go hilariously sideways. After accidentally boarding a traveling stuffed whale that gets swept downriver, Gabby finds himself in an outrageous predicament that just might turn Nellie's fortunes around in the most unexpected way. This wild tale proves that sometimes the craziest situations make the best stories.
