Kid Montana #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeKid Montana accepts a job to finish a task Old Tom never had a chance to complete, which involves stopping a group of Sioux from blocking a mountain trail and seizing gold. After a confrontation with vigilantes led by Jim Bridger and a man named Jeff, Kid Montana encounters Big Mike and learns that the Sioux are planning to ambush them. Following clues through the wilderness, Kid Montana climbs a mountain pass and discovers a Norse rune, suggesting an unexpected twist in the treasure's origins.
When Gopherface recounts his first solo camping trip to friends, he reveals the unexpected trouble that came from his limited provisions—a can of beans and no way to open it. Meanwhile, a boy named Danny takes "playing cowboy" to a dangerously literal extreme by sitting on a hot stove.
Kid Montana rides grimly toward Braddock, resolved to finish the justice work his father old Tom couldn't complete before his death at the hands of wrongdoers. But his path through the Montana mountains puts him on a collision course with Sioux warriors determined to stop settlers from crossing into their land, forcing Kid Montana to prove that the lightning-quick draw and riding skills his father taught him are just as sharp as his principles.
A stranger called Jeff Norse arrives in Braddock asking about his father's killer, and his heroic act of saving a runaway horse catches the attention of the local lawman, Mister Burner—but Burner's got secrets of his own. When Norse refuses to leave town, Burner sets a trap using the very vigilante band the townspeople have formed to catch road agents, planting stolen gold to frame him. Now Norse finds himself facing the mob's swift justice with the deck stacked against him.
When Gopherface's girlfriend celebrates her birthday, his softhearted nature leads him to make a gift-giving decision that's more tender than practical—and that's just the start of the comedy in this 1957 Kid Montana tale. Watch as a former insurance agent discovers that being too kind-hearted can have its own consequences, even in closing a deal.
A newcomer returns to his quiet hometown and decides to shake things up—but a simple misunderstanding about a recent medical school graduate leads to hilarious chaos in "Oh, Doctor," a rollicking tale from Kid Montana #9. When Kid Montana hears someone shouting for a doctor, he discovers the real reason behind the commotion, and the punchline hits as hard as a frontier mishap.
