This issue contains two stories featuring Texas Rangers. "In Not Law But Justice," Rangers Bub Carter and Dave Moss pursue two outlaws across the dangerous Texas border until Ranger Captain Lew Rodgers sends Clint Shelby to apprehend them. In "Badman, Texas Style," a stranger arrives in a frontier town and is caught cheating in a card game; the locals challenge him to a gunfight, but he proves to be a fast draw, and a week later the town's new bouncer hasn't had to use his gun because the gunslick's intimidating presence has stopped all trouble.

Young Ranger Clint Shelby is handed a tough assignment by Captain Lew Rodgers: bring in the slippery outlaws Dave Moss and Bub Carter, who've been running circles around the law along the Texas border. When Shelby's initial trap goes sideways and the pair slips across the Rio Grande to safety, he faces an impossible choice—and discovers that sometimes justice requires stepping outside the law itself.

A lone stranger rides into a lawless Texas town and quickly draws the ire of Luke Anson's Sinkhole Gang—but Ranger Rip Langley is playing a dangerous game, and his real mission is to infiltrate the outlaws' hidden hideout and set them up for arrest.

Marshal Ed Cusick arrives in Trail's End as a flashy gunslinger looking for work, and Bull Devers hires him as a bouncer at his saloon—but Cusick's real purpose is far more serious. Working undercover as a special deputy U.S. marshal, Cusick uses his lightning-fast draw and sharp wits to gather evidence against Devers and his criminal gang while they plot to rob the Lucky Buck Mine payroll. When the moment comes to make his move, Cusick discovers that the men he's been hunting have secrets of their own, leading to a tense showdown that tests whether his gunslick reputation will be enough to see him through.
