"Spurs Jackson and the Moon Bat" follows Spurs Jackson and his Space Vigilantes as they investigate a German pilot whose spacecraft crashes on an asteroid, leading to conflict over the stolen ship and ultimately a confrontation between Jackson and the pilot. In the second story, Hank, a lawman working with Spurs Jackson's crew, investigates the disappearance of Porty More Head from East Canyon while rustlers raid the territory, with Hank riding into the canyon to track down the culprits and a mysterious figure watching from above.
When a military test pilot's experimental jet goes down in the heart of the Grand Canyon, Colonel Gordon calls on Strong Bow, a man raised in those dangerous canyons, to attempt a rescue from an isolated mesa top. But the hidden valley atop that mesa harbors far more than just wreckage—it's a pocket of primordial wilderness where prehistoric monsters still roam, and Strong Bow must navigate both ancient perils and the harsh terrain to reach Captain Alzar before time runs out. Together, the two men must find a way down from their jungle prison before the valley's inhabitants make that choice for them.
When Earth's capital cities fall under hydrogen bomb assault traced to Mars, Spurs Jackson and the Space Vigilantes pursue a fleeing Nazi rocket ship across the void—only to discover their quarry has crash-landed on a remote asteroid inhabited by a peaceful civilization. As the desperate German crew attempts to exploit these innocent inhabitants for their own survival, Spurs races against time to prevent tyranny from taking root on an alien world.
Hank Roper's cattle ranch is being bled dry by rustlers, and when he tracks the thieves to East Canyon, a mysterious figure calling himself "the Invisible One" orchestrates a cunning ambush using ventriloquism and misdirection to turn the rustlers against each other. As Hank fights to uncover who's really behind the scheme, an escaped inmate from a Midwestern institution becomes the key to solving the mystery—and recovering his stolen herd.
