"The Cylinder of Death!" depicts Sheriff Bob Hawks confronting the Omaha Kid over a deadly feud: the Kid claims Jed Summers killed his brother and cheated him out of silver mine profits, while Hawks warns that if violence erupts between them, he will ensure the killer hangs. "The Gambler and the Girl" follows a man attempting to hide from his past in Tombstone, Arizona, where he encounters a woman at a poker game and becomes entangled in the town's dangerous gambling underworld. The issue also includes historical tales such as the story of Chief Crazy Horse and the 1876 Battle of the Little Big Horn.
Wild Bill Pecos and his partner Nuggets Nugent are ambushed by Sioux warriors while transporting ammunition meant for General Custer, and Wild Bill is captured and taken to the war camp of Crazy Horse. There, he discovers the tribes are united under Sitting Bull with plans to intercept Army supply lines—and after a daring escape with Nuggets' help, the two race to warn Custer and the Seventh Cavalry of the coming conflict.
After the Civil War, Texas rancher Clay Mason and ex-Major Johnny Hobbs decide to fight back against a ruthless cattle baron who's cornered the local market—by driving their pooled herds north to Abilene, Kansas along an untested route called the Chisholm Trail. But when word of their daring plan reaches their enemy, the drive becomes a desperate race against sabotage, stampedes, and ambush on a trail few have dared to travel.
Spurs Madden may be a terrible shot and no match for a quick-draw gunslinger, but when he stumbles into a job at the Circle-H ranch run by the spirited Connie Ross, he finds himself facing down Rawhide Gilbert—a ruthless operator trying to muscle the independent outfit into his bogus cattle protection racket. With the ranch under siege and Spurs's own inadequate gun skills constantly exposed, he'll have to find another way to prove his worth and stand against Gilbert's mounting threats.
A drifter called Doc Yates—a deadly gunslinger and card sharp with a mysterious past—rides into Tombstone hoping to disappear into the frontier anonymity, but finds himself drawn back into old entanglements when a marshal who loves him asks him to leave town. When danger arrives in the form of escaped killers and an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, Doc must decide whether to keep running or face what he's been hiding from.
