Notes: Though we briefly credited Wayne Boring with the Superman figures, due to an error report from Keith Chandler, the consensus of the members of the GCD Main list was that Mortimer was swiping or imitating Boring.

Title: Track of the Phantom Cat!

Synopsis: On a bus tour of the West, Danny and Rex spot a cattle stampede. Rex turns the leader and saves the herd. The rancher is grateful, but a panther spooked the herd. Rex takes off tracking. He falls into quicksand, but pulls out with a dangling branch. He spills an avalanche on the panther, then pulls it to safety - and it licks Rex! When lightning stampedes the herd, the panther even helps. A newspaper ad for a "lost panther" brings the owner, who raised the cat from a kitten. And Rex's reward is - his very own panther kitten!
