Lash LaRue Western #44

Lash LaRue must stop a gang of outlaws led by Thunder Bear who are stealing ammunition and planning to ambush cavalry reinforcements at Hayton's General Store. When Lash discovers that Thunder Bear's men have hidden themselves in wagons to surprise the soldiers, he uses his whip to create a distraction, causing gunfire that alerts the cavalry to the danger and forces the villains to surrender. Later, Lash must clear himself of suspicion when a former rodeo rival named Spurs becomes jealous of Lash's past relationship with a woman named MacLain, leading Spurs to attempt to frame Lash for the earlier crimes.
