Frank Davis's "The Murder Specialist" follows gunfighter Captain Bill Titus. Jonathan Brooks contributes "Ike Takes the Reins," a baseball story from a manager's perspective.

Bedford-Jones concerns East-West romance. The novelette "Big Sandy of the Veldt" by Magruder G. Maury depicts conflict in South Africa among Boers, British, and natives.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
