In Part Three, titled "The Storm," Lash LaRue pursues criminals across dangerous terrain while being hunted himself; the villains plot to kill him, but LaRue uses his whip and combat skills to outmaneuver them during a dramatic confrontation that includes gunfire and physical combat. The story continues with LaRue evading his pursuers through rugged landscape while a storm approaches.
Molasses Mouth challenges Lash LaRue with a seemingly simple question about the resemblance between the Hare twins, Bick and Dick, setting up a humorous test of observation and knowledge in the dusty frontier setting. The punchline hinges on a playful twist that turns the familiar into a comical dilemma, all wrapped in the lighthearted tone of a Western-era gag strip.
Dusty, fed up with his job as a mailman and frustrated by the lack of round mail slots, declares he’s quitting—especially after being warned about the notorious Killer Diller. With a mix of humor and absurdity, he jokes about fleeing to sea, becoming a baseball pitcher, or even a musician, all while the post office and the $10,000 reward for the outlaw loom in the background.
A young man worried about his growing weight confides in Doc Sorebones, claiming he exercises by skipping every day—before and after breakfast. The doctor, after hearing this, offers a surprising suggestion that leaves the man stunned.
Lash LaRue tracks down Rush after narrowly escaping a trap set by outlaws at the Billings ranch, only to discover the horse is being led toward a cliff by two men who’ve blinded him. As he intervenes, Lash realizes the conspirators are trying to frame him and eliminate Rush, forcing a tense standoff that ends with the outlaws fleeing — but not before revealing their plan to kill Tom Billings before Lash arrives.
A young woman arrives at Gus’s store, complaining about the flies, and challenges Wagonwheels to eliminate them in exchange for a free soda. Wagonwheels agrees, drinks the soda, and then dramatically claims he’s ready to kill every fly—prompting Gus to send them out one by one.
In the storm-lashed frontier, Lash LaRue races against time to save his uncle’s ranch after uncovering a deadly conspiracy involving a false death report and a gang of killers. With the telegraph down and the weather turning violent, he and his horse Rush push through treacherous terrain to deliver a crucial message before the villains can strike again.
