Trigger Twins

Synopsis

Walt, the sham sheriff, must arrest his brother Wayne, the storekeeper (and real fighter) for murder. His pistol and fingerprints were found with a dead man. Wayne knocks Walt down, dons the sheriff's clothes, and rides to the Devil's Pit with treacherous quicksand. Killers have grabbed "Wayne" and thrown him in! They haul with shot-through ropes and jammed guns, but best the killers. A grifter confesses the town's water supply runs under Wayne's store, and he wanted to control it. "He never knew he grabbed the wrong Trigger Twin." "There is NO wrong Trigger Twin!"

Synopsis

2nd Lt Corby asks Lt Dan Foley's help. He's supposed to be in the Navy, by family tradition, but was wrongly assigned to the Army! He has a plan. He's clad an old riverboat like the Civil War "Monitor", an "ironclad" ship (not a submarine). Trappers are pinned down by Blackfeet upriver. The two sail north. Bullets bounce off as the ironclad reaches the trappers and takes them aboard. But the Blackfeet drop a log jam. Dan dynamites it. And Corby is assigned to the Navy for duty on the Snake River!

Johnny Thunder [John Tane]

Synopsis

The Boot Hill Gang is terrorizing Mesa City. They demand Johnny Thunder, and the Sheriff points to his son, schoolteacher John Tane (actually JT's secret identity)! The killers take him out of town to prove he's Johnny Thunder - or die. He clumsily shoots a tree branch on the killers, runs and changes to Johnny Thunder. He and Black Lightning, his horse, run down the villains and rescue the sheriff, who apologizes. He pointed out John Tane to stall until Johnny Thunder could rescue them. "Think John'll understand?" "I'm sure he will, Sheriff."
