Six-Gun Heroes #43

Jingles, the chubby deputy, finds himself the target of Josh Hogan's relentless pranks and insults—until he finally has enough and teaches the troublemaker a lesson. But Hogan's wounded pride proves dangerous when he's drawn into a scheme to steal the payroll that Jingles is sworn to guard. When the robbery attempt goes sideways, Jingles must rely on something Josh never expected to save the day.

Wild Bill Hickok and Jingles grow suspicious when railroad boss Jason Vogt hires a crew of shady guards to protect a freight shipment of gold and silver, so they board the train to keep watch—but Vogt and his men have a scheme that involves a rigged tunnel and a setup designed to eliminate anyone who gets in their way. When Jingles finds himself in the crosshairs of the double-cross, he'll have to use his wits and his gun to uncover the real con and save the shipment.

When a poster for the outlaw Iron Mike Donlan arrives in town on the same day as the charming widow Tess Smith, Jingles finds his manhunt constantly sidetracked—especially with the aggravating dandy Cyril Auburn Sloatby also vying for her attention. As Jingles juggles chores, a shooting contest, and a trip to the church social, he begins to piece together a troubling pattern that could unmask a dangerous imposter in their midst.
