Hopalong Cassidy #33

In "The Death Race," three men stumble upon a buried treasure chest in the rugged hills, only to find their newfound fortune sparks a bitter dispute over division.

In "Fowl Fellow," Jo finds himself roped into cooking for a bunch of hungry cowhands, only to take a shortcut by roasting the chickens whole—feathers and all. The sight of a plump, feathered bird served at dinner is a sight to behold, and the rancher’s reaction is anything but expected.

In "The Mysterious Letter," a dying rancher entrusts his grandson Tom Harbert with a map to a hidden chest of diamonds, setting off a race across the frontier. When two thugs steal part of the map and frame Tom, he sends the rest to Hopalong Cassidy—only to have the legendary rider misled into believing Tom betrayed him.

In "The Rope's End!", a fugitive swaps identities with a professor, slipping into Widow Jones’ boarding house under false pretenses. When the impostor’s true nature surfaces and he targets the widow, Mesquite must use his quick thinking and signature lariat to stop him before it’s too late.
