Genres: western
Character(s): Trigger Twins
Synopsis: A gang leaves a taunting note they plan to rob the gold shipment on the Special train. Walt and Wayne both dress as Sheriff. One boards the train while the other waits at that only trestle where thieves could hop on. But the false conductor gets the drop on Walt, who jumps off the train and is hurt. It's left to Wayne to carry his brother to safety in the tunnel, scale the wall, and leap atop the train to burst in and scotch the robbers. "What difference does it make who's Sheriff, Walt - as long as his name is Trigger!"

Subject Matter
Genres: western
Synopsis: Strong Bow, the Wandering Warrior, sees a pueblo village oddly not attacked by raiders. The chief contends they'll feint three times and attack the fourth, for superstition is powerful on both sides. Strong Bow is not so sure, and sneaks after the raiders who do attack the third time. Shooting down ladders, he saves the pueblo. The wicked chief confesses he preyed on superstition - and Chief Talaka vows to give up his "magic number".

Synopsis: Lt Dan Foley receives a telegram to conduct war games - just as Chief Black Spear is threatening real war. Foley leaves one battalion behind as the cavalry plays war games - without ammunition. Sure enough, Chief Black Spear surrounds them, demanding surrender. But the rear battalion arrives and scatters the hostiles. Foley suspected a trap because the "War Department" telegram wasn't in code. And receives a second telegram with a citation for bravery!
