In "Telecomics Presents Zane Grey's King of the Royal Mounted," Little Beaver’s fascination with a carnival monkey leads to an unexpected adventure when he buys the sick animal with help from Red. After a week of recovery, the monkey—now healthy—plays a surprising role when a desperado invades their home, only to be thwarted by a cleverly timed shot from Bargum’s unloaded gun. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Morris Gollub with inks by Bill Ely, this 1948 Dell classic blends frontier grit with a touch of whimsy, all under a cover by an unknown artist.

In "Counterfeiters Discovered," Jo tracks down Jace, using the Kiyotee call to signal for help. When Ted and Billy follow her trail, they uncover a hidden operation: Silk and Hondo are using a three-card monte game to pass counterfeit bills to schoolboys in the basement of an old gambling den. With quick thinking, the pair arm themselves with a pepper-loaded toy cannon and baseball bats, planning to shut the operation down without harming the kids. But before they can act, the game ends—Silk finds Jo, knocks her out, and vanishes. When Ted and Billy return to find her gone, they hear distant horses fleeing town, and now they must race against time to rescue her.
