The Smoke of Injustice
8 pp · western-frontier
Hopalong CassidyTopper (horse)Sheriff HastingsHillWhitlock (blacksmith)Mesquite (deputy)Smoking Crook

When a mysterious drifter seeks shelter at blacksmith Whitlock's shop during a rainstorm in Twin River, he sets a cunning trap to frame the honest tradesman for a robbery he himself plans to commit—leaving behind telltale footprints with a distinctive X mark on the sole. Now it's up to Hopalong Cassidy and deputy Mesquite to untangle the evidence and uncover the real culprit behind what the criminal calls his "fool-proof scheme."

Picture That!
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
PattieShowboat Jackson

Pistol Packin' Pattie sets her sights on vain actor Showboat Jackson, who's so dissatisfied with his photographs that he won't hand them out—so she devises a scheme to have a little fun at his expense. When Jackson decides to visit a new photographer for better pictures, Pattie sees her opening and delivers a quip that proves her wit is as quick as her draw.

The Butterfly Bonanza
7 pp · western-frontier
Meaquite (deputy)Hopalong CassidyConfidence Man

When deputy Mesquite falls victim to a slick confidence man peddling phony gold bricks in nearby Arrid Valley, he tries to hide his embarrassment from Hopalong Cassidy—but the crook follows him to Twin River with a new scheme in mind. As the con artist poses as a butterfly-chasing professor and spins a tale of a rare butterfly worth five thousand dollars, Mesquite and the hands at the Lazy Q ranch are lured into the woods, leaving their freshly paid wages unguarded. It's a comedic race against time as greed, gullibility, and mistaken identities collide across ranch and forest.

A Feather in His Cap
4 pp · humor; western-frontier
Whitey Whiskers

Whitey Whiskers finds himself on the receiving end of a farm dispute when a customer returns with a complaint about a chicken he sold—one so tough it nearly broke the buyer's jaw. What follows is a hilarious back-and-forth of tall tales, puns, and absurd logic as the two trade insults and increasingly ridiculous explanations, with Whitey's farm misadventures (and his own sharp tongue) threatening to land him in real trouble.

The Covered Wagon Escapade
5 pp · western-frontier
Hopalong CassidyTopper (horse)Bigger Fitch (bandit)Jesse Holcombe (bandit)

When two desperate killers escape from an Arrid Valley jail after shooting the sheriff, Hopalong Cassidy sets out to track them down—only to discover they're hiding in a covered wagon he's been riding alongside for protection. As the bandits plot to eliminate him under cover of darkness, Cassidy must turn the tables on Bigger Fitch and Jesse Holcombe before their plan succeeds.

Hill Billy Stands His Ground
0.66 pp · humor
Hill Billy

Hill Billy spots a "No Fishing" sign on private grounds but decides to try his luck anyway—until a caretaker confronts him and insists he leave. Hill Billy's clever comeback about the difference between fishing on the grounds versus fishing in the water turns the tables in this lighthearted 1951 tale of quick thinking and stubborn logic.
