☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories: "Fiery Chariot," a Fightin' Forbes story by Walter Farmer, in which a covered wagon caravan led by editor Fightin' Forbes and accompanied by Isaac Clements camps on a plateau and encounters renegade Indians who attempt to draw them into wasting ammunition before attacking; and "Tom Mix and the Rustler's Hoax," in which Tom Mix confronts a mob in town and pursues rustlers heading for the hills. Both stories feature action, gunplay, and Western frontier conflicts.
When two feuding lawyers decide to settle their debate about the power of circumstantial evidence, they enlist Tom Mix to help stage an elaborate hoax—a fake murder designed to test whether a jury would convict an innocent man. But as the frame begins to tighten around the unsuspecting Bill Konsil, and a guilty verdict looms, Tom realizes someone has set fire to Stuart Barrister's hideout, threatening to derail the entire plan. With Konsil's hanging set for dawn, Tom must race against time to uncover the truth and save his friend from the gallows.
When Johnny Briggs falls ill, his classmates shower him with gifts and treats—but one envious student gets a dangerous idea. Hoping to score presents of his own, the child devours green apples to fake sickness, only to find that greed spreads faster than any real illness. Teacher's cure for this particular epidemic? A spoonful of castor oil and a hard lesson about what generosity really means.
When a prospector vanishes after striking gold on Tremble Mountain, Tom Mix uncovers a web of cattle rustling and murder that leads him to a hidden valley—the real prize all along. With rustlers using the secret passage to hide stolen herds, Tom must piece together the clues and confront the engineer who betrayed his partner, stopping the thieves before more ranches are stripped bare.
When Digger cashes in his gold strike at the general store, Tom Mix catches wind of trouble and hides in the miner's wagon just as two road agents, Fargo and Brimstone, attempt a robbery. After a daring escape, the outlaws track Digger to his cabin and manage to steal his fortune—but not before Tom picks up their trail and sets out after them. The real test comes when Fargo devises a clever scheme to outwit Tom Mix and reclaim what he's hidden, leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game that will determine whether justice prevails in the frontier.
A cowpoke hides from the foreman's ridiculous errand, only to get schooled on just how dim he really is—and when a self-proclaimed famous songwriter wanders by with some truly terrible tunes, the two trade insults and tall tales in this quick-witted Western comedy. It's all bluster, bad logic, and punchlines that land harder than a saddle horn.
Tom Mix suspects a reckless mob's wild antics near town were a deliberate distraction, allowing rustlers to strike nearby ranches—and he's determined to uncover who's behind the scheme. When his hunch points him toward the gang's hideout, Tom devises a daring plan to infiltrate the rustlers and expose their mysterious boss before they can steal his own prized herd.
