Oklahoma Kid #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Oklahoma Kid faces off against outlaws in a showdown involving a two-legged colt, with characters named Ben and Jed confronting each other over past misdeeds. The story culminates in a confrontation where the Kid and others prepare to visit a "polecat" and see the protagonist's father. The issue also includes a secondary story titled "A Town Affair," as advertised on the cover.
When a bank robbery leaves his father wounded, young Jed Mason blames Oklahoma Kid for the trouble—and Ben Prue, a smooth talker with questionable friends, is quick to turn that anger into something darker. As Jed's resentment grows and Oklahoma Kid grows suspicious of who the real fourth bandit might be, the frontier hero finds himself caught between protecting a boy he calls friend and stopping him from making a terrible mistake. "Two Legged Colt!" captures that raw moment when a young man's pride and hurt can cloud his judgment, and one man's attempt to break through before it's too late.
When Lightning, the great rider's faithful mount, is left to graze on Hermit Slate's pasture, the clever horse spots two strangers plotting to steal the neighboring horses—and springs into action with fierce determination. After a harrowing chase through town and into a dead-end canyon, Lightning corners one of the raiders, only to find himself accused of being a killer by the very thief he's caught. The sheriff must decide who to believe: the word of a desperate outlaw, or the character of a horse who's proven his worth.
A gold strike in town brings opportunity—and trouble. When the opportunistic Mr. Sloat makes his claim public, the Oklahoma Kid grows suspicious of the schemer's motives, especially after learning how Sloat's previous mining venture left Sam Wilson ruined. As Sloat sets a deadly trap at the mine to keep the Kid away, the Kid must outthink a man willing to do anything to pull off his latest con.
When Marshal Joe Reynolds is shot during a bank robbery by the Bassett gang, Mary takes matters into her own hands—abandoning her engagement dress fitting to pursue the outlaws who've terrorized her town. As she closes in on the gang's hideout, Mary finds herself face-to-face with the ruthless Bill Bassett, who has his own plans for keeping her around while he waits for his men to arrive.
