Prospecting in the Klondike and led by the twitching of Stan's gold-finding finger, the boys run afoul of two claim jumpers.

Indexer Notes

Reads as if, with a little tweaking, it could be a Mickey Mouse and Goofy story, making Carl Fallberg a good guess for author.

Pete Alvarado draws one of the Mounties as a bulked-up version of Jay Ward's Dudley Do-Right.
