Tex Ritter Western #18

Tex Ritter investigates a stagecoach accident involving a young driver named Tom Lodder, concerned the incident may not be what it appears. Tex discovers that a woman named Mary Hodges, who stands to inherit a substantial sum of money, is somehow connected to the case, and he must determine whether she is involved in foul play. The issue also features a backup story, "Buffalo Bull: The Horse Brigade," in which Buffalo Bull organizes a group of young riders into "the Horse Brigade" and boasts of his unmatched horsemanship and knowledge, only to be challenged by talk of an uncatchable wild mustang called Black and Blue Beauty.
