The issue delivers bullet-packed Western adventures centered on lawmen and heroes confronting outlaws and criminals across the Old West.
Cattle rustlers are plaguing the county and making trouble for Sheriff Lang, so his daughter Lariat Lucy and her boyfriend Jim Howell—now deputized—set out to track down the gang and stop the thefts. When mysterious fires begin destroying barns owned by the ranchers who identified a captured rustler, Lucy discovers the real arsonist is someone unexpected, leading to a desperate fight for survival in a blazing inferno.
Tex Gordon takes a job at a dude ranch to pass time between rodeos, only to find himself caught in a dangerous triangle when the beautiful heiress Betty Branch arrives—and a jealous ranch hand named Verne will stop at nothing to claim her. When Verne's obsession turns to kidnapping and ransom, Tex must clear his name and survive a deadly confrontation at the old bridge.
Six-Gun Smith rides through Colorado and stumbles upon a hanged man—the father of Sue Crain, who's been searching for gold while claim-jumpers close in. After rescuing the old prospector, Smith heads to Denver to protect Sue, where he discovers the ruthless gambler Ace Hammond is orchestrating the theft and will stop at nothing to find the gold's location. With time running out and Hammond's crew ready to hang both Crain and his daughter, Smith must act fast to save them and stop the men behind the treachery.
Wilma West, owner of the WW ranch, picks up a new collie at the freight station in Mesa City—but her arrival coincides with a brutal bank robbery by masked outlaws who use her as a human shield to escape town. When the bandit leader and his crew make their getaway, they'll face more than just the townspeople's guns in this tense Western tale of unexpected heroism.
