"Outlaws of the West" #67 is an anthology featuring two stories. "Captain Doom in The Impending!" follows a war veteran who, tired of being treated as a relic, becomes involved in a dangerous situation at a ranch where dynamite is used to create a diversion during a confrontation with rustlers; the story ends with the wounded man being tended to by his children. "Ray Deeto—Range Detective: From H to B" depicts the famous range detective working with Sheriff John Huston to catch rustlers, with Deeto suspecting Frank Loom is supplying hides to the rustlers and warning the perpetrators that their chances are ruined, though the ranch itself remains at large and the detective's fate remains uncertain as the story continues on the next page.
