Matinee Idol
7 pp · western-frontier

When a theatrical troupe rolls into town, Gabby Hayes impresses the director with an accidental stage performance and is offered a contract to become a matinee idol.

The Boy Who Loved Horses!

When young Tippy Ryan seeks work as a cowboy at the Bar Nothing Ranch, gruff foreman Gabby Hayes turns him away—but a chance encounter with a vicious man-killer horse named Blacky gives the horse-loving orphan his chance to prove himself.

Menace in Disguise
7 pp · western-frontier

When a charming young drifter arrives at Gabby Hayes's ranch with nothing but flattery and a sob story, Gabby takes him under his wing—but Fred Larson smells a rat. The newcomer is actually Phil Flatter, a cunning rustler bent on using Gabby's trust to orchestrate a cattle theft, and Gabby must see past the honeyed words before the gang makes off with the herd.
