The Horseless Headman!
10 pp · western-frontier

In a remote stretch of frontier road, Hopalong Cassidy and his sidekick Mesquite investigate a series of stagecoach attacks where drivers are shot through the head—each victim found with the same mysterious mark. When they discover the culprit has been hiding in a concealed hole near the trail, they track him to the isolated home of retired rancher Hoggins, only to find themselves trapped inside a steel-walled house with no way out. As they realize the true nature of the man behind the attacks, they must survive a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in a house rigged with hidden traps and secret passages.

The Great Jumper
4 pp · humor; western-frontier

Whitey Whiskers, hungry and broke, spins a tall tale about surviving a deadly horse jump off Deadman's Cliff to trick Grizzly Gus into feeding him, only to be caught in a second, even more absurd lie about a circus leap gone wrong. Hopalong Cassidy sees through the nonsense, but Whitey’s wild story keeps escalating—until the truth finally lands with a comedic thud.

The Flagpole Murder
7 pp · western-frontier

In the quiet frontier town, Hopalong Cassidy investigates the suspicious death of a man found beneath a flagpole, uncovering a web of deceit tied to a construction company and a missing set of blueprints. As he pieces together clues, he realizes the murder is connected to a cover-up involving a rigged bridge and a man who knew too much. The investigation leads him into a tense game of shadows, where loyalty is tested and danger lurks in plain sight.

The Time Bomb
7 pp · western-frontier

In the dusty town of Mesquite, two crooks trick the sheriff’s deputy into believing an old alarm clock is a time bomb, using the ruse to steal gold from the assay office while the deputy is distracted. Hopalong Cassidy, returning from a brief absence, uncovers their scheme and turns their own prank against them, luring the criminals into a trap with a fake second bomb—only to reveal they were the ones who robbed the assay shop all along.

Real Stubborn!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier

Hopalong Cassidy tries to move a stubborn mule that refuses to budge, prompting him to exclaim, “Real stubborn!” as the animal’s odd behavior — pushing with its back legs while walking backward with its front ones — baffles him. The mule’s unyielding nature becomes a source of amusement and frustration, testing Hopalong’s patience in a humorous, lighthearted moment on the frontier.

Untitled story
0.5 pp · humor; western-frontier
Esmeralda
4 pp · humor; western-frontier

Beggs is mortified when Hopalong Cassidy reveals he’s been secretly dating Esmeralda, a young woman he’s been avoiding due to her appearance—especially after learning her father wears false teeth during the day. As Beggs tries to defend his distaste, Hopalong calls him out for mocking Esmeralda, leading to a heated exchange about looks, honesty, and the absurdity of judging someone by their face.

The Double-Blade Killer
8 pp · western-frontier

Hopalong Cassidy tracks a notorious killer known for his double-bladed knife, only to discover the maniac's trail leads to a ranch where the owner, Hill, has lost his mind after a fall and begun impersonating the murderer. As the sheriff closes in, the truth unfolds: Hill’s amnesia has made him believe he’s the escaped killer, and his delusion has led him to commit real murders while convinced he’s protecting his own interests.
