"Tough Tex" depicts the muscular hero saving a house from fire and rescuing citizens, ultimately defeating outlaws and a damaged bridge while protecting a group of girls. "Mick the Moon Boy" reveals that Mick, presented as a captured outlaw, is actually a Truth Pellet-powered wonder who helped Sheriff Buller capture the Red Rube gang, earning him the reward and Mary's gratitude.
