Lash LaRue Western #21

Marshal Lash LaRue investigates a string of train wrecks plaguing the Wild West Line, only to discover a gang of looters systematically derailing and robbing the cars. When a pickpocket's stolen watch leads him to the culprits' hideout, Lash finds himself in deadly peril—bound to the railroad tracks with an oncoming train bearing down on him. With the help of his twin brother, the Frontier Phantom, and his trusty whip, Lash must outmaneuver the wreck looters and put an end to their dangerous scheme.

Molasses Mouth and Tom spot a young woman with stylish bangs and decide to have a little fun—Molasses Mouth gets the idea to suggest his own gal use dynamite to achieve the same look, leading to a groaner of a punchline that lands him in trouble. It's pure frontier humor from 1951, the kind of Western comedy where the joke's the thing and a good laugh is worth a laugh at your own expense.

Wagonwheels has a secret mission to find the president of a railroad company, but when the town's nosiest resident Jesse Busybody keeps pestering him for details, Wagonwheels can't resist sharing—only to set up a pun that leaves Jesse groaning. This lighthearted Western romp from 1951 proves that sometimes the best-laid plans fall apart the moment you open your mouth to a busybody.

When the Frontier Phantom, Lash LaRue's twin brother, is mistaken for the marshal himself and tricked into a deadly scheme, he finds himself caught between a ruthless gang leader's demands and the Chief Marshal's life hanging in the balance. As Bill Hood forces him to rob the post office and the Frontier Phantom plays along to buy time, a double-cross by one of Hood's own men sets off a chain of betrayals that puts both brothers in mortal danger. With Rush the horse as his only ally, Lash must infiltrate the gang's hideout and outwit them all before Hood can finish what he's started.
