Wild Bill Hickok #12

Wild Bill Hickok intervenes when border outlaws attempt to murder Abel Sanders and his daughter Ophir, saving them from ambush in the rocks. The story then shifts to a military espionage plot involving Spanish Joe, who uses a forged map to locate a wagon shipment of new repeating rifles with magazines holding twelve bullets, intended for Fort Kearney. Wild Bill discovers Joe's deception and works to intercept the weapons before Red Cloud can seize them. In a final action sequence, Hickok confronts Dutch Henry's gang at a saloon in Dodge, engaging in a gunfight that results in the capture of two of Henry's men, with Hickok vowing to ensure justice in the frontier towns.
