☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains three Western stories. In "Flight from a Fight," Bucky O'Hara, who has a reputation for running from conflict, finally stands up to Tim Holt and accepts his offer to help settle Bucky's troubles. "The Ghost Rider" tells of a spectral figure haunting an old castle near Silver City, with the Ghost Rider keeping a rendezvous there involving "the murdering medium." In "Terror's Theatre," when fire sweeps a theater's main street during a performance, actresses face death, and the Red Mask stages his own performance to hunt down desperadoes and killers acting viciously; meanwhile, Old Mossyhorn, the lead steer on Tim Holt's T-Bar-H ranch, erupts with fury when a gold and black stage from Cactus Valley Swings crosses the T-Bar-H grazeland.
Deputy Sheriff Tim Holt discovers that a mysterious shirt sold at the local clothing store contains coded messages in its stitching—a scheme hatching the Red Rivers gang's next heists. When Chito becomes an unwitting pawn in their plans, Tim must don his Redmask disguise to penetrate the outlaw operation and protect a federal marshal working undercover, all while keeping his own identity hidden from those trying to frame him. The coded shirt becomes the key to unraveling a network of thieves and stopping Red Rivers before his gang strikes again.
Bucky O'Hara has spent years running from fights, drifting from ranch to ranch and job to job rather than stand his ground—until an old friend, Deputy Sheriff Tim Holt, offers him a second chance and a promise that might change everything. When a frame-up threatens to drag Bucky back into his outlaw past, Tim believes in him enough to stake his badge on it, but only if Bucky can prove he's truly reformed. Now freed from that promise at last, Bucky discovers what it means to finally stand and fight for something that matters.
When a ruthless bandit terrorizing Silver City seeks refuge in the sprawling, trap-filled "Castle," the Ghost Rider follows the trail of murder straight to the door of Swami Gabbino—a fraudulent medium who may be using his séances as the perfect alibi for theft and bloodshed. As federal marshal Rex Fury navigates the mansion's deadly rooms and hidden mechanisms, he must unmask the killer before Gabbino's own supernatural schemes trap them both in the castle's dark secrets.
When a new theatre opens in Bullet, saloon owner Aces Mooney hatches a scheme to burn it down and reclaim his customers—hiring wanted outlaws to wreck the place during opening night. Tim Holt, recognizing the hardened killers in the crowd, must track them to their secret hideout and stop Mooney's plot before the Musicale is destroyed. A classic frontier tale of justice outmaneuvering greed in this 1951 adventure.
