This issue contains two stories. In the main story, "The Rider," a mysterious horseman helps a Native American chief and his people in an impossible situation, requesting only that they not struggle and maintain balance and speed as he aids them in trouble. In the backup story, "Parachute Pup," a young dog named King goes camping in the mountains with his boy master Bobby, but when a snowstorm traps them, King must use his intelligence and loyalty to help them survive and find safety. Additionally, a side story titled "Wild Prairie Plot" follows two prospectors searching for gold, with one deceiving the other about their discovery and making off with the findings.

Incident in Lawless Land!
6 pp · Western-Frontier

When Swift Arrow and the Rider stumble upon a young Cheyenne man being falsely accused of horse theft, they uncover a scheme far darker than a simple misunderstanding—a band of rustlers who've been stealing horses and blaming Native Americans for the crimes. As the truth comes to light, our heroes must track down the culprits and expose their deception before more innocent people suffer the consequences of prejudice and greed.

Big Trouble!
5 pp · Western-Frontier

The Rider rides to aid what appears to be a stranded man on the frontier, only to discover he's stumbled straight into a deadly trap orchestrated by the cunning Black Bull. Captured and bound atop a precarious cliff ledge while Black Bull waits for soldiers to follow into an ambush, the Rider must use his wits and whatever tools he has at hand to turn the tables before it's too late.

Wild Prairie Plot!
7 pp · Western-Frontier

When a peaceful wagon train comes under attack on the open range, the Rider rushes in to help—only to be arrested by the cavalry, who believe he's the white man secretly leading the Indian raids. With his innocence questioned and a trial looming, the Rider must rely on Sky Bird, the chieftain's daughter, to prove he's been wrongly accused and uncover the real culprit behind the attacks. Together they uncover a dangerous conspiracy that threatens not only the Rider's freedom but the safety of the entire territory.

The Hermit's Hornets!
6 pp · Western-Frontier

A solitary gold-panner's need for peace gets shattered when word spreads of his strike and gold-hungry claim-jumpers swarm his land—but when smooth talk and threats fail them, nature itself offers the hermit an unconventional way to reclaim his territory. This 1957 frontier tale finds the hermit turning the tables on his unwanted guests with a little help from some very territorial insects.
