IN BRIEF: Blackton Bend is a bleak town on the Texas-Oklahoma line. Felons are known to avoid the law in one end of town by stepping over the state line into the other. Newt Damron, who runs the Colorado Saloon, and Matt Hardisty, who runs the Clarion newspaper, are enemies who've agreed to a fist fight. Hopalong and California ride into town and stop to talk with Luge Watkins at the post office. California trips over a keg of blasting powder, which Watkins has refused to ship for Clem Peebles. Watkins shows the cowboys a new wanted poster for James Carlisle, a left-handed shooter said to have held up post offices in Dodge City. There's a $500 reward. Hoppy knows Hardisty was recently thrown by a horse and wouldn't fare well in a fight. Old Man Hardisty says the reform newspaper isn't making money. Helen Carlisle asks Hoppy to find her brother Jim in Rimrock Country and prove his innocence. The post office blows up. Watkins is killed. A metal chest with $10,000 is missing. It fits Hardisty's m.o. Hoppy takes off his guns when he visits Ma Fife's boarding house. Damron, who's been deputized, confronts him there. In the mountains, Hoppy comes upon the kid and offers his help, but Damron intervenes. Later in town, Hoppy learns that Matt Hardisty was behind the robberies; he needed money to pay gambling debts. He gave himself away by a comment to Hoppy about the wanted man being left-handed; Hoppy knew that only the one who blew up the post office could have seen the wanted poster.
