Sergeant Pat of the Radio-Patrol #76

Sergeant Pat and Sam encounter a dangerous bear in the mountains while investigating a case involving ten unarmed men and a suspect named Tony, whose pocket diary reveals he may have sabotaged a glider. After retrieving Pat's revolver and dealing with the bear, the officers pursue their quarry through treacherous mountain terrain, ultimately confronting Copper Judson in a climactic struggle on the Osark Pass.
