Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #42
A foreign dignitary's coach horse becomes incapacitated, leaving the official stranded and requesting Wyatt Earp's assistance to prevent further incidents during a tour of the country. Earp and his deputies devise a plan involving a grizzly bear to replace the horse, but the scheme goes awry when the bear proves uncontrollable. In a separate subplot, Billy the Kid assists a tenderfoot named John Sweeney by attempting to wrangle a wild horse, though Billy struggles to keep Sweeney out of danger as the young man proves inexperienced with firearms and frontier life.
