The Sheriff confronts an outlaw named Breed who has taken over the town jail and freed his prisoners. When the Sheriff attempts to retake the building, Breed and his men force him to retreat, but the Sheriff soon organizes a counterattack with the help of townspeople. Meanwhile, a criminal gang led by Choctaw Charlie attempts a bank robbery and dynamites the vault while spreading chaos through the streets. The Sheriff ultimately defeats both Breed's escaped prisoners and the bank robbers, discovering that a man named Pearce had been secretly paying one of the outlaws, and the Sheriff brings him to justice as well.

Contains 4 stories
The Hate Campaign
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When an election looms in Tombstone, enemies of Sheriff Luke Spade wage a whisper campaign to paint him as a crooked bully—even importing a rival candidate, Ken Watson, to promise a more lenient hand. But Spade discovers the rumors are part of a deeper scheme, and when stolen money mysteriously turns up in his own desk, he must clear his name and expose the true masterminds before they claim his badge. With the town council ready to strip him of authority at the first misstep, the pint-sized lawman has to outthink a plot designed to frame him.

The Trick
1 pp · Western-Frontier

Luke Spade, the Tombstone Sheriff, finds himself cornered by Breed and his gang after they've convinced the town he's corrupt—but when locals who see through Breed's lies step in to help, the tide turns. Luke learns that propaganda can sway people for a moment, but the truth and independent minds ultimately prevail.

The Raid
7 pp · Western-Frontier

When Choctaw Charlie and his gang of hard-eyed raiders ride into Tombstone, Sheriff Luke Spade knows trouble is coming—but without proof of their crimes, his hands are tied by the law. As the outlaws scout the town's bank and express office, preparing to strike, the sheriff races against time to gather evidence and set a trap before the gang makes their move. When the robbery finally goes down, Spade must outmaneuver a desperate crew of killers determined to escape with the loot.

Break-Down
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Luke Spade, the pint-sized sheriff of Tombstone, is running on fumes—the constant pressure of facing off against criminals and would-be assassins is wearing him down faster than bullets ever could. When Spade appears to crack under the strain, a local crime boss named Engle sees an opening and springs a trap, but the sheriff's moment of apparent weakness may be exactly what he needed to finally expose who's been orchestrating the attacks on him.
