Masked Raider #10

Con man Rubin Hayes thinks he's in control when he sells a worthless mine to the mild-mannered lawyer Les Wilcox, but Wilcox has his own plan—and a secret identity as the Masked Raider. When Hayes and his hired guns make their move to reclaim the deed and the gold that keeps appearing from the mine, they find themselves facing the outlaw they never saw coming.

Wild Bill Hickok, marshal of a gold-rush town, finds his crumbling jail isn't strong enough to hold the dangerous prisoners locked inside—and the mayor won't fund repairs. When a gang of hardened owlhoots uses dynamite to blast their way out, Hickok sets off alone to track them to their hidden canyon hideout, armed with a plan that turns the landscape itself into an ally. The marshal's clever trap puts him face-to-face with the escaped convicts in a showdown that puts his wits and his guns to the test.

The Masked Raider finds himself cornered between Cap Lewitt's crew and the Grundy Brothers, with only a desperate escape across a rope bridge to survive their closing trap. Realizing the two outlaw factions are stronger together than apart, Les Wilcox devises a clever scheme to turn them against each other—one that will require the Masked Raider to ride hard and strike fast. As the two powers clash, opportunity opens for those the valley's tyrants once crushed to reclaim what was stolen from them.
