Red Ryder Comics #122

In the dusty streets of a frontier town, a traveling man with a hand organ and his mischievous monkey stir up trouble when Big Jake takes offense. When the monkey snatches Jake’s gun and fires from a telephone pole, chaos erupts—leading to a showdown that draws in Sheriff Newt, Auntie Duchess, and even Pablo the monkeyman. With tensions high and fists ready, it’s up to Red to keep the peace before the whole town explodes.

Auntie Duchess finds herself stranded in the desert after being abandoned by rustlers, but a sudden flash storm unleashes a roaring river where none existed before. With no time to waste, she must craft a raft and navigate the unexpected flood to reach town—where Sheriff Newt awaits and the rustlers may finally be caught.
