The Living Dead Man
6.67 pp · western-frontier

In the quiet of wealthy Frank Scriggs’ ranch, Hopalong Cassidy investigates the suspicious delay in reporting the old man’s death, uncovering a plot by Scriggs’ hired hands to hide his body and impersonate him. When the ranch foreman, Hollis, fakes a will in Scriggs’ name, Hopalong devises a clever trap using a forged document to expose the forgery—and the thief—through a matching signature. As Hollis and his accomplice panic and attempt to retrieve the incriminating paper, Hopalong’s quick thinking turns the tables in a tense showdown.

The Fishing Fiend

Hopalong Cassidy spins a wildly exaggerated tale to Whitey Whiskers about a series of impossible fishing adventures, claiming he once used a school of dog fish to power a stranded boat by making them bark, and later caught a fish so enormous it sank an entire island. Whitey Whiskers, skeptical and increasingly exasperated, tries to escape the barrage of tall tales, only to be left groaning as Hopalong insists his most unbelievable story is still coming.
