Black Diamond, a masked lawman, pursues a criminal named Logan who has escaped from custody. Logan had been released deliberately by a villain who believed Logan would lead him to hidden gold. After a confrontation involving gunfire and an airplane, Black Diamond defeats Logan and recovers him. In a parallel storyline, Black Diamond works with local law enforcement to capture the outlaw Red Fire by using a posse and setting a trap at Red Fire's hideout, ultimately apprehending him with the sheriff's help.

Six Gun Showdown

U.S. Marshall Black Diamond rides into Ridgeville to investigate a murder and robbery, only to find himself the target of a mysterious dry-gulcher—and a jailed man named Logan begging for his help. As Black Diamond digs into the case against Lafe Zeno, the prime suspect, danger closes in from every direction, and nothing about this frame-up is quite what it seems. This hard-riding lawman will need all his wits to untangle the truth before justice goes to the wrong man.

The Rodeo Ransom

Buck Roper is lured into a kidnapping trap by three desperados posing as clothing company reps, who plan to hold him for ransom and use an inside man at the rodeo to collect. When the gang's scheme unravels thanks to a clue hidden in plain sight, Buck and his friend Dixie find themselves fighting for their lives at the hideout while a rescue party closes in from the rodeo. Can they survive long enough to see what happens next?

The Flaming Torch Rider of the Plains

A masked rider terrorizes the plains town with nightly fires and poisoned dogs, driving desperate settlers away—and when Red Fire is accused of being the torch rider, he finds himself hunted by a posse with a target on his back. Forced to go on the run, Red Fire uncovers a darker scheme buried beneath the chaos, one that involves hidden treasure and someone willing to frame an orphan to keep it secret. With the town crumbling and the real conspirators closing in, Red Fire must expose the truth before the posse catches up to him.
