At the old trading post, we find Mighty Mouse in a duel to the finish with that snake in the grass, Oil Can Harry, as a violent storm rages outside --
Mighty Mouse and Oil Can Harry take their perpetual duel to the arctic, where Harry has frozen Pearl Pureheart in a block of ice, and Mighty Mouse is trapped by an extraordinary bolt of lightning.

Good Bit: While dueling with swords, Mighty Mouse slices-up Oil Can Harry like a stick of baloney - only to have the "Harry-slices" re-form into Harry himself, as the airborne slices fall one atop another.

This story is a comics adaptation of the 1949 Terrytoons theatrical animated short “A Cold Romance”, directed by Mannie Davis, but referring to Pearl Pureheart as "Little Nell". The "baloney-slicing" gag occurs twice in succession in the cartoon - but (suitably) only once in the comic. Information on "A Cold Romance" supplied by Merlin Haas, 2020.

Looking down upon the Earth far below, the Champion of Justice is attracted by smoke arising from a tiny island thousands of miles from civilization.
On a tropical island populated by peaceful mice – and where cats are unknown – shipwrecked cats Black Mike and his unnamed henchman begin the hoax of “Kuloo The Powerful”, a mountaintop-god who demands a daily sacrificial mouse. This frightful ruse has worked for “many moons”, until the chance arrival of Mighty Mouse.

Though soft-pedaled in the dialogue, it is quite clear that Black Mike and his associate have consumed at least one sacrificed mouse per day, for some time. “Every day we get a tasty morsel without lifting a finger!”

Gandy Goose; Sourpuss; Mrs. Sourpuss
Sourpuss was returning from a walk around Terrytown one sunny afternoon.
Gandy builds a time machine in his tool shed, in which he and Sourpuss leave 1949 to visit the future world of 1960 – where Sourpuss is confronted by his large, angry, and domineering future-wife who accuses him of “running out on [her].”

An exceptional example of these normally mundane text stories. Gandy and Sourpuss are not instantaneously deposited in the year 1960, as often happens in such tales, but experience a rapidly-accelerating series of days and nights while traveling.
