Hopalong Cassidy #14
Hopalong Cassidy and "the Fighting Fury" tells the story of a heavyweight championship boxing match between Lefty Gibbons and Champion Driscoll that draws gamblers and spectators to Twin River. When Hopalong discovers a criminal plot involving the stolen money from the fight purse, he pursues the culprits into the wilderness. After a confrontation with a shirtless man hiding in a tree and subsequent struggle near the riverbank, Hopalong manages to recover the stolen funds. The issue concludes with a moral message from William Boyd about good leadership, sportsmanship, and the importance of education for young cowboys.
