☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Vanishing Varmints," Tex Ritter confronts a gang of rustlers who are using a posse as cover for their criminal activities. When the gang attempts to flee with their stolen horses, Tex must pursue them while also dealing with a dog named Fury and clearing up the confusion over who the real criminals are. The story culminates in a shootout on the trail as Tex closes in on the varmints and works to restore order and justice.
When a band of mysterious outlaws strikes a frontier town and vanishes without a trace, Tex Ritter goes undercover as a traveling troubadour to uncover their secrets. Armed with his guitar and wits, Tex must piece together clues scattered across the Western landscape—including a strange white clay mixture at the scene of the attack—before the impatient townsfolk hang the wrong man. It's a puzzle that only the Prairie Ranger can solve.
A broke drifter named Buffalo Bull spots a cigar butt on the ground, only to have an ornery goat butt him and swallow his prize—but instead of revenge, Buffalo Bull hatches a scheme to sell the troublemaker to a gullible rancher by spinning a tall tale about the goat's brilliant wit. Watch as a wildly implausible story about a goat who coughed up a red shirt to stop a speeding train wins over both the rancher and a free cigar.
Tex Ritter, the Prairie Ranger, rides into Big Bend to investigate the disappearance of Sheriff Curly Walker—only to discover the town ruled by a ruthless businessman named Blackton, who controls everything from the saloon to the sheriff's office. When a man named Jim Carson returns to clear his name in a murder he didn't commit, Tex stands against a lynch mob and allies with Carson to uncover the truth behind Blackton's iron grip on the territory. As evidence points to a pearl-handled gun and darker secrets, Tex finds himself racing to stop a lynching and expose a killer before justice is buried forever.
When Tex Ritter rolls into West Texas, he crosses paths with the ruthless outlaw Hawkeye Smith—who's determined to settle an old score by framing the ranger and his faithful dog Fury. As a dog-herding contest at the Blue Bonnet Ranch becomes the perfect cover for an ambush, Tex must outsmart Hawkeye's crew while protecting a young woman and her competitor dog, Lady, from a scheme that's about to turn deadly on the open range.
