The masked lawman devises his own scheme, trading his disguise for that of Les Wilcox, the town's meek bookworm lawyer, to get close to the heist and turn the tables on Haden's gang. With his eagle companion Talon and his faithful horse White Star at his side, the Masked Raider must stop the robbery before the outlaws make their escape.
A crooked lawyer and a con artist posing as a Spanish nobleman conspire to swindle the citizens of Boulder City out of their homes with forged land grants—but the Masked Raider uncovers their scheme and turns the tables, leaving the crooks bound and helpless for justice. With help from his loyal animals Talon and White Star, the masked vigilante exposes the fraud and ensures the townspeople learn the truth, all while the scheming lawyer watches his own reputation crumble.
Rocky Lane, the Secret Marshal, pursues the outlaw Jett Coburn to the lawless town of Las Pierdas, but a carefully orchestrated setup turns the whole town against his trusted horse, Black Jack. When the marshal is knocked unconscious and blamed on his own mount, he must work through a deadly trap of rattlesnakes, gunfire, and deception to reclaim his reputation and catch Coburn before the outlaw escapes for good.
The Masked Raider finds a crucial clue to a rustling operation, but when a suspicious deputy and his men intercept him, he's forced to surrender and face a false rustling charge to clear his name. With the help of his lawyer, Les Wilcox, the Masked Raider orchestrates an investigation from behind bars—and when the real culprit makes his move, the tables turn in an unexpected way.
