In "The Missing Herd," a notorious outlaw gang led by Fargo steals a herd of cattle and hides them in the remote Horseshoe Canyon. When a sheriff arrives with a posse, the gang feigns ignorance, even asking the lawman where the missing cattle might be. With a sharp eye and a steady hand, the sheriff digs into old records at the Government Survey Office, uncovering a forgotten gold mine that cuts through the mountain—a secret route the gang may have used. As the rustlers attempt to move their prize through the mine, they walk straight into a trap laid by the sheriff and his men.

Sheriff Hank Corbin may grumble about his duties, but he’s quick to act when the town needs him. When Turk Magrew’s gang attempts to rob the payroll, Corbin takes swift action—capturing them and securing the suspects in the very railroad car meant to transport the money.
