Subject Matter
Genres: nature
Character(s): Trigger; Uncle Mike Hanford; lawman Mark Denham
Synopsis: Trigger leaves his mares for Uncle Mike Hanford's mountain cabin, leads him to a wounded mare at Gunsight Notch, creased by a bullet. Mike tracks another creased mare, meets lawman Mark Denham, tracking "Mad Dog" mail robber Dirk Gillian who broke out of prison two days ago. (Denham's posse is on the other side of the Notch.) The two men join up. Gillian lays in ambush, shoots lawman Denham in the shoulder, while Uncle Mike falls and hits his head on a rock. Trigger relieves the outlaw of his pistol, and runs him off. Tending to Denham, a revived Uncle Mike hears Gillian, now armed with a rifle, rustling in the brush, and unloads on him with both pistols. The outlaw flees on horseback, thinking it is the posse. Uncle Mike retrieves Denham's horse, leaves horse and a canteen with the wounded lawman, mounts Trigger, and tracks Gillian headed toward Mike's own cabin. Mike traps and binds the outlaw, but his pistol is empty as sidewinder rattlesnakes attack. Trigger dispatches one sidewinder, and its mate slithers off as Denham and the posse arrive. Trigger, "take a bow."

Subject Matter
Genres: nature
Feature(s): Trigger Junior
Character(s): Trigger Junior; Pete; Uncle Mike Hanford; Sheriff Neil Denton
Synopsis: The Palomino mare that Uncle Mike sold to Sheriff Denton has gone off to foal. Pete takes Trigger Junior off to sniff out the missing mare. The sheriff worries for the mare because a cougar has been killing lots of stock, lately. Pete spends the night in an abandoned cabin. Trigger Junior breaks tether and follows the scent. Two desperadoes lug their wounded comrade and the stolen payroll to the old cabin at daybreak. They bind Pete who escapes during the night, tosses a skunk in the cabin, and happens upon the foal as he flees. The foal's cry brings three others: a worried, protective mare, Trigger Junior, and a hungry cougar. Fur flies; a cougar dies. Outlaws arrive; Pete flies away in the dark, bareback on Trigger Junior, gunshot with a nicked shoulder, back to the ranch, where he makes his report of the foal and the skunk-marked outlaws. "Thanks to Trigger Junior."
