"Straight Arrow" follows a frontier narrative in which Jim Carter risks his life in dangerous locations, prompting investigation into his motives. A Cheyenne warrior encounters a bear attack while protecting his tribe and makes a blood oath with the animal, swearing never to harm it in gratitude for sparing the Cheyenne's life. Two nights later, multiple riders gallop toward the Cheyenne camp on horseback. The issue also includes a mail-order advertisement section promoting novelty toys and tricks.

When outlaws sabotage a speeding locomotive with a dead engineer at the throttle, Straight Arrow and his golden stallion Fury leap into action to save the train—and the passengers aboard who are meant to prove that rail travel to Indian Gulch is safe. But stopping the runaway iron horse is only the beginning: Benson, brother of the town's Mayor Benson, enlists Straight Arrow to help defend the railroad construction itself from a coordinated campaign of dynamite, ambush, and sabotage. As attacks mount despite armed patrols, Straight Arrow must hunt down the source of the threat before the outlaws can finish what they started.

Straight Arrow rides into battle to defend his Comanche people from the Arapahoes, but a stray gold-tipped arrow from his quiver falls unnoticed—and the escaped outlaw Mort Black recognizes it as his chance for revenge. Black plants one of Straight Arrow's arrows at a murdered prospector's side, framing the great warrior and forcing him to flee the soldiers sent to capture him. Now Straight Arrow must track the real killer across treacherous terrain and through a deadly desert, with Black trying everything to stop him, including turning the Arapahoes against him—all while the evidence points straight at our hero.
