Outlaws of the West #67

Marv Cullenden is shot and left for dead by gunmen from the Double 7 Ranch, leaving his children—Sally, Junior, and Bunkie—to protect him and survive. With their father barely alive, the siblings flee to a hidden cave, where they begin a desperate plan to outwit the killers who now control their ranch. As Junior sets traps and plans revenge, the remaining Cullenden children must stay one step ahead of Lex Driscoll’s men while keeping their father alive and their secret safe.

In the aftermath of his prison escape, Tip Osgood returns to Sweetwood, Oklahoma, seeking revenge on Morg Williams, the sheriff who sent him away. Now a year older and hardened, Osgood plans to confront Williams at his general store, but the sheriff is no longer the man he once was—blind from an injury, relying on his clerk and the law, unaware of the danger closing in.

Ray Deeto, the range detective, teams up with Sheriff John Huston to catch rustlers using a clever disguise: a brand that’s been altered from H to B. When Ray suspects Frank Loomis is involved, he and Dr. Walter Ames devise a plan to prove the tampering by examining a hide under strong light and slicing it thinly to reveal the original H brand. The story builds toward the moment the evidence is uncovered, but the outcome of the confrontation remains to be seen.

Captain Doom arrives in Bronco Falls seeking work, hoping to start anew after years of wandering and loss. When he learns the man he was meant to replace has vanished, he takes the job on the Huckston Ranch—only to be drawn into a tense confrontation at the saloon, where a past mistake resurfaces in the form of a man who may have killed a boy named Tom.
