☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features three Western stories. "The Ghost Gang" stars Tex Farrell confronting an outlaw gang. "Deputy Marshal from the East" follows Joe Greenpoint Hart, a Brooklyn native working as a deputy in the frontier West, as he pursues fugitives and encounters complications with a new female singer named Norine Niles. "Mess of Trouble" depicts cowpuncher Steve Allen's misadventure when he seeks directions at a lonely ranch and becomes entangled with the Square-in-the-Circle outfit.
Tex Farrell arrives in El Faro to stop the Ghost Gang, a ruthless outfit that's been robbing banks across the territory and vanishing without a trace—and he suspects they'll strike the town next. When the outlaws hit the local bank right on schedule, Farrell pursues them but witnesses their impossible disappearance, then spots a clue the gang didn't expect him to find. As Farrell closes in on the truth behind their uncanny getaways, the Ghost Gang realizes they've met their match in a deputy sheriff who won't be fooled by smoke and mirrors.
Joe "Greenpoint" Hart, a crack shot from Brooklyn who can't stand the wide open spaces, lands a job as deputy marshal after a daring rescue goes sideways—but the locals have rigged his guns and are plotting to make a fool of him. When a staged stagecoach robbery turns into something far more serious, Greenpoint's sharp eyes and sharper aim prove the frontier underestimated this city kid.
When Hap Lanyard stumbles onto a movie shoot in the mesas, he finds himself caught between reel action and the real thing—a producer lies dead, and three hired extras are willing to kill to recover exposed film from a location shoot at Buzzard Rock. With the nearest lawman a hundred miles away and a starlet named Lola determined to investigate, Hap sets out to uncover what those desperate men were caught on camera doing, leading him straight into a deadly trap set among the cliffs.
Steve Allen rides into trouble when a simple request for directions at a lonely ranch escalates into accusations of cattle rustling against his old friend Ken Runyon. As Steve investigates the claims and the mysterious foreman Purdy, he uncovers a hidden valley that holds the key to exposing the real culprit behind the missing livestock. A drifter's hunch and a loyal horse named Angelface may be the only things standing between justice and a ruthless scheme.
