A man claiming to be Hopalong emerges in town, and the real Hopalong discovers his imposter is actually Melton, Black Jack's accomplice, using their uncanny resemblance to frame him for bank robbery and jail breaks while the criminals make their escape.

Hopalong and deputy Mesquite must hunt down the unhinged barber before his condition puts the whole town in danger, but a moment's carelessness puts one of them directly in the Mad Barber's path. A quick draw and nerves of steel may be the only things standing between a close friend and a very close shave.

3 pp · humor; western-frontier
Sam the Sheriff

When Sam the Sheriff overhears two strangers discussing murder methods with alarming enthusiasm, he becomes convinced he's stumbled onto dangerous killers and scrambles to assemble a posse to take them down.
