A foreign dignitary's coach horse becomes incapacitated, leaving the official stranded and requesting Wyatt Earp's assistance to prevent further incidents during a tour of the country. Earp and his deputies devise a plan involving a grizzly bear to replace the horse, but the scheme goes awry when the bear proves uncontrollable. In a separate subplot, Billy the Kid assists a tenderfoot named John Sweeney by attempting to wrangle a wild horse, though Billy struggles to keep Sweeney out of danger as the young man proves inexperienced with firearms and frontier life.

Contains 5 stories
The Twisted Trail!
5 pp · Western-Frontier

When a brazen bank robbery attempt draws Marshal Wyatt Earp's attention, he suspects the crime is a clever diversion—and his hunch leads him down a twisted trail of false clues and hidden motives. As a young man named Carlos falls under suspicion and the town grows restless, Earp must untangle the web of deception to expose the real culprits and prove the innocent. It's a case where seeing through the maze of misdirection is what separates a true lawman from the mob.

Duel In Two Languages
5 pp · Western-Frontier

When a French nobleman, the Marquis de la Pavan, arrives in the Southwest and finds himself constantly at odds with the rough frontier ways, Wyatt Earp takes it upon himself to show the cultured Parisian what the West is really about. But the Marquis's Old World code of honor keeps pulling him toward one thing—a duel with the famous lawman himself.

The Killer Bear
8 pp · Western-Frontier

Wyatt Earp rides unarmed into a hidden canyon fortress where outlaw Toner Mackin and his gang have holed up after robbing the Buffalo Skull Bank, forcing a deadly confrontation Mackin has long anticipated. Trapped in the Bee-Hive with no way out, Earp faces a gruesome trap involving a wild grizzly bear—but the wily marshal may have a few tricks of his own. This eight-page showdown proves why Earp's reputation reaches far beyond the law.

Jail Break
2 pp · Western-Frontier

When Joe Bonamy's cellmate Tom Lawrin proposes a daring escape from an escape-proof jail, Bonamy sees his chance—but Lawrin has other plans beyond freedom. This 1962 tale of frontier justice reveals that sometimes the best trap is sprung from the inside.

Teen-Age Teacher
5 pp · Western-Frontier

Young Billy the Kid takes a tenderfoot named John Sweeney under his wing at a rough cattle camp, teaching him the ways of frontier life and how to stand up to bullies like the brutal Keller. When Sweeney finally faces off against his tormentor, Billy discovers his new pupil has more grit than anyone expected—and learns a hard lesson about the price of growing up in a man's world.
