This issue features two main stories. In the first, Peter Rabbit and his friends attend a rodeo where a bull causes chaos, leading to comedic mishaps involving Peter's companions. The second story, "Reynard and Bruin the Bear," depicts a fox named Reynard being caught by a bear over stolen honey; Reynard appeals to the bear's sense of honor and offers to become a monk if the bear will test his worthiness, while bandits in a hideout pursue their own schemes in a parallel subplot. The issue concludes with a sequence featuring Timmy and other characters searching for a mouse and rat, with a large cat creating further complications.

The Big Bang Up
7 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals, Western-Frontier

When a stagecoach accident leaves Peter and his friend Dazy stranded in unfamiliar frontier territory, they're captured by a Native American chief and his tribe. Peter must use his wits—and a handful of leftover firecrackers—to engineer an escape and get them both home safely.

The Big Date
4.67 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Peter plans a romantic outing to visit a young woman named Dazy, but his well-intentioned gestures keep getting hilariously derailed by a rival named Chuck—who always seems to be one step ahead. As Peter fumbles through attempts at cooking and housework to impress Dazy, he discovers that winning her heart might require more than just good intentions.

The Medicine Man
5.33 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals, Western-Frontier

When Peter Rabbit takes a job with a traveling medicine show run by a Professor, he helps hawk a dubious pain killer across the Wild West—but when a skeptical customer tests the product and discovers it's just colored water, the Professor pins the blame on the boy and disappears. Now mistaken for the outlaw Two-Gun Gatson and thrown in jail, Peter must use his wits to outwit a gang of real bank robbers and clear his name.

Happy Go Lucky
7 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

When Cicero spots a beautiful new neighbor named Fifi moving in next door, he enlists his pal Timmy to help him impress her with acrobatic stunts—but Timmy's schemes go hilariously wrong, turning every attempt at romance into a disaster that lands Cicero in hot water. As Cicero keeps taking the blame for the chaos, he finds himself caught between his own embarrassment and the blackmail-worthy secrets Timmy holds over his head.
