Cowboy Western #55
This issue contains a story involving Wild Bill Hickok and Annie Oakley pursuing a stagecoach robbery. After a stage carrying money is held up, Wild Bill and Annie track the thieves through a storm to where the trail breaks at a fork, planning to ambush the criminals at the wrong location. The story continues with complications including a monogrammed button belonging to Jeremy Taylor, the stage owner's son, which implicates him in the theft and reveals a scheme involving forged bank documents. A parallel plot follows the outlaw Mitch Horner, hiding in a border town saloon in Salinas, who is eventually identified as the wanted criminal Monte Hale, leading to his capture.
