Lucky Star #7

In "Boss of the Rails," Lucky Star arrives at a harsh railroad construction camp run by the tyrannical Frisco, who rules with a six-shooter and demands absolute obedience. When Pokey and Poncho are captured for planning an escape, Lucky disguises himself as a worker to free them, using wit and marksmanship to expose Frisco’s cruelty and bring him to justice.

In a dusty western tale, a young boy and his loyal chihuahua find themselves caught in a mix-up with Señora Chavez’s prized dog, leading to an unexpected bond with Lucky’s sidekick, Vamos. As the boy and his dog help Vamos avoid a deadly rock slide, their courage earns them more than just gratitude—they’re rewarded with the very dog they were accused of stealing.

In the Old West, a young man claiming to be the long-lost nephew Bob Drew returns to his uncle Jack, supported by a mysterious watch and a childhood scar. When Lucky Star and his friend Pokey grow suspicious of the reunion, they uncover a shocking truth: the man is not the real Bob Drew, but a fraud exploiting his resemblance to the missing boy.

Vamos finds himself in a comically tangled situation while fishing, where his line becomes unexpectedly entangled with something — or someone — far more persistent than a fish. The story plays on the literal and figurative meaning of the title, turning a simple outing into a lighthearted, slapstick predicament.
