Horace Greeley is heading west with his printing press and his rock-solid belief in the power of the press, printing issues of his DailyStar as he goes. But his insistence on publishing the truth isn't making him universally loved. When Lucky Luke meets the quirky journalist, he agrees to help him settle in Dead End Gulch-and protect him against those who would rather not see their dirty deeds in print.

Luke gets to help set-up the legendary Pony Express! In 1860, getting from Missouri to California on the West Coast took a long, long time - not to mention a certain degree of courage. Annoyed at the delay in communication, the federal government offers a grant to whoever can solve the problem and set-up a fast, reliable mail system linking East and West. In response, entrepreneur W.H. Russell founds the Pony Express company: fearless men riding day and night, changing horses at way stations. But not everyone likes that idea...The 46th adventure of Lucky Luke, and the Old West at its funniest!

After a fellow inmate, having received a blow to the head, forgets his own name and is freed as a brand new man, the Daltons start pretending to be amnesiac in order to escape the prison. So as to test their supposed amnesia - and hopefully allow them to retrieve their memories should it be real - they are put in familiar situations: bank hold-ups, train robberies - under Lucky Luke's supervision, of course.

Sensational news in the United States: the great actress Sarah Bernhardt is coming from France for a grand tour across the continent. The world of show business is in effervescence but some, such as the League of Virtue, are opposed to the tragedian's coming, because of her sulphurous reputation. President Rutherford B. Hayes, a theatre-lover, asks Lucky Luke to look after the lady, ambassador of French culture and charm...

Samuel Parker, ageing sheriff of Hadley City, is about to get married, and he's promised his bride to retire after the ceremony. But Parker once sent the Daltons to jail, and when the horrible brothers hear the happy news, they escape with the intent of killing Samuel right in the middle of his wedding. Fortunately, Lucky Luke is an old friend of the sheriff's, and he has been invited to the celebrations...
