☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story, "The Road to Danger," follows Lash LaRue as he confronts a gang of outlaws led by a man named Tubbs Miller who is still at large. After capturing Carson and securing money from the gang, Lash pursues the remaining bandits, but encounters a trap that leaves him apparently dead or unconscious. The story also includes a comic subplot featuring a boy named Johnny and Mr. Phipps dealing with domestic complications during dinnertime, with Johnny becoming distracted by Mr. Phipps's prominent nose.
When a desperate man named Tom Carson forces his way into Lash LaRue's office demanding safe passage across the border, he claims to be framed for the murder of three children—a crime actually committed by the drunken outlaw Crusher Moran, who's now leading a lynch mob in pursuit. Lash must navigate the dangerous gap between Carson's desperation and the vigilante justice closing in on all sides, with the truth about what really happened in Tulsa hanging in the balance.
Dusty figures a fancy dinner for his boss Mr. Phipps will soften him up for a raise—until his young nephew Johnny arrives for the meal, and Dusty panics about the boy making a crack about Mr. Phipps' distinctive nose. Despite Dusty's frantic warnings and Johnny's promise to keep quiet, the evening spirals into a mishap that costs Dusty far more than he bargained for. A humorous cautionary tale about loose lips and the price of a careless word.
Wagonwheels stumbles into a courtroom predicament after a barbershop mishap lands him with a scalp wound—and he's not about to let the matter drop. This quick-witted frontier tale proves that sometimes the best defense is a clever play on words, delivered with a knowing grin and a flair for the absurd.
Big Bow and Little Arrow share a bowl of alphabet soup, which sparks a punny exchange about holding another syllable — but the real laugh comes when Molasses Mouth reads aloud a fact about piano keys that lands entirely differently than he intends. A quick, clever gag that proves even a half-page of Western humor can pack a solid punchline.
