Lash LaRue Western #17

Lash LaRue infiltrates an outlaw gang by disguising himself as a criminal and gaining their trust, then arranges to have the gang leader captured by marshals at a secret meeting held in a hidden cave. A backup story features a bumbling old clockmaker named Dusty who becomes entangled with criminals after discovering they've hidden stolen money inside a grandfather clock he's repairing, leading to comic mishaps as he tries to extract the clock's pendulum to avoid their suspicion.
