Contains 5 stories
The Blundering Herd
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Gabby Hayes agrees to help Chief Muddy Moccasin protect the tribe's buffalo herd from a band of greedy hunters led by the scheming Buffalo Hyde, but when the Indians leave to investigate a false smoke signal, the real trouble begins. With the herd under siege and time running short, Gabby devises an unconventional plan involving a wild lead buffalo named Shaggy Beard—and a little help from some loco weed—to turn the tables on the thieves. It's a wild race against the clock to save the buffalo before the hunters drive them off the reservation for good.

A Big Wind
1 pp · Humor, Western-Frontier
Chief Grey Matter

Chief Grey Matter spots an ominous sky and warns of an approaching tornado, but when he recalls a time a twister supposedly brought him good fortune, his companions grow skeptical. A quick exchange of tall-tale logic and a surprise punchline turn the whole thing into a shaggy-dog joke about weather—and wordplay.

The Toy Bandit
7 pp · Western-Frontier

When a mysterious toy thief strikes fear across Rawhide, Gabby Hayes sets out to catch the culprit—only to discover the bandit is actually the local outlaw Lum Ocks, who's been hoarding the stolen playthings in a barn. Trapped with the dangerous outlaw and desperately trying to stay alive, Gabby must think fast and use his handmade toys as both weapons and distractions in an outrageous battle for survival. This 1952 western tale proves that sometimes the best way to stop a bandit is with a little ingenuity and a lot of luck.

The Friends of Evil
6 pp · Western-Frontier

Young Falcon tracks down two renegades—Red Dog and Mad Wolf—who've turned a young village boy named Hawk Feather into an unwitting accomplice in a brutal gold robbery that leaves prospectors dead. When the killers kidnap Hawk Feather's grandmother White Deer to tend a gunshot wound, Young Falcon follows, gambling his strength against their cunning to save the boy and restore honor to the Oshagas people.

Danger: Explosives!
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When Gabby Hayes takes a job driving a nitro wagon for the railroad, he's determined to prove his bravery—until a mix-up with a covered EXPRESS wagon and a sleeping passenger named Bodkins sends him careening toward disaster. Racing to deliver his cargo to Baldy Mountain, Gabby discovers far more than explosives along the way.
