Contains 7 stories
The Mysterious Murder
10 pp · humor; teen

When rancher Jim Hawkes is shot dead on Twin River's main street, a gun spotted hanging from a hotel window points straight to the killer—but Hopalong and his partner Mesquite find themselves chasing a phantom. The mysterious murderer vanishes from a locked hotel with no way in or out, leaving Hopalong to unravel how the killer managed to escape an impossible trap.

Everything's Peachy
4 pp · humor; western-frontier

Whitey Whiskers spins a tall tale to trick Danny Boy out of a peach—a wild story about shooting a deer with a peach pit that somehow grows a whole peach tree right out of the buck's shoulder. When Danny hears there's a way to get all the peaches he could want, he's tempted, but this clever young man has his own surprise waiting for Whitey at the end of the bargain.

The Desperate Passage
7 pp · western-frontier

When outlaws derail a train to steal a rancher's fortune, Hopalong spots the culprits fleeing toward Twin River—but their scheme takes an unexpected turn when the stolen money ends up hidden in a shirt sold to the local deputy. Now Hopalong must unravel the truth before the desperate thieves make a dangerous move to reclaim their prize.

Trapper Trouble
7 pp · humor; western-frontier

A smooth-talking trapper hawks a fur piece across Twin River—first to Widow Jones, then mysteriously back to her deputy suitor Mesquite—in this comic tangle of double-dealing and mistaken ownership. When the same fur piece keeps changing hands and the scheme unravels at the general store, Mesquite finds himself both swindled and blamed, forcing him to track down the con artist to salvage his reputation with the widow. It's a rollicking frontier farce where everyone's chasing the same prize and nobody quite knows who owns what.

The King of the Diamond
4 pp · humor; western-frontier

Windy boasts about his legendary baseball career to Hopalong Cassidy, claiming he was a star pitcher for the Saddlestitch Champs—but his tall tales about impossibly slow pitches and wild stadium incidents quickly reveal more bluster than genuine expertise. When Hopalong challenges him with a baseball riddle, Windy's overconfidence leads to a humbling punchline that proves the old cowpoke's gift for gab outweighs his actual knowledge of the game.

Shrewd Bargainer!
0.5 pp · humor
The Face on the Watch
8 pp · humor; teen

Hopalong Cassidy arrives late to meet Marshal Buck Travers at the borderline between Twin River and Arrid Valley, only to find the marshal dead—shot in the back—with a photograph hidden inside his watch. The picture reveals the rustler Notslar's true identity, setting Hoppy on the trail of a dangerous criminal. But as the case unfolds, nothing quite adds up, and Hopalong's refusal to settle for easy answers becomes the key to uncovering the real culprit before justice miscarries.
