☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Jim Hardy #1 The issue features two stories: In the "Windy and Paddles" tale on the cover, a cowboy character attempts to manage a spirited horse at a bus stop. The main "Jim Hardy" story by Dick Moores follows a man named Bess dealing with financial troubles related to horse racing; when Bess's prized racehorse "Blackie G" shows promise, characters scheme and plan around the potential winnings, with Bess ultimately hoping to train the horse to win a big race and solve his monetary problems. The story concludes with optimistic discussion of settling down at a ranch once Paddles wins the race.
Windy Peters, a lanky cowhand, finds himself unexpectedly saddled with a baby abandoned at the stables—one that his prized racehorse Paddles has grown attached to—and must figure out how to care for the child while preparing to race in Kentucky. When Bess Giltedge, owner of the local stables, offers to join him on the journey to help with the baby, Windy reluctantly accepts, setting off a chain of events that catches the attention of the wealthy Roger, who has his own designs on Bess's affections. As the unlikely group prepares to head east, tensions simmer between those who see the trip as a fresh start and those determined to derail it.
