Buck Ranger and his pint-sized partner Chico arrive at rancher Lafe Holt's spread to investigate cattle rustling in the Texas brush country, but their investigation takes a dangerous turn when they're spotted by the very outlaws they're tracking—brothers Brig and Cal Bass. Captured and held at the Bass ranch, Buck and Chico must escape, force Cal to lead them to the rustlers' hideout, and face off against Brig's desperate gambit to stop them at any cost. As the showdown moves to the stockmen's dance, Buck and Chico race to bring the cattle-killers to justice and settle the fate of a conflicted young man caught between outlawry and love.

Danny Glover, the boxer-turned-lawyer who gave up the ring to build a boys' club in the slums, finds himself facing off against racketeer Duke Smith when the club is burned down—and things get personal when Smith's gang kidnaps his fiancée, Kitty Lawson, to force Danny to throw an upcoming fight. With his pals Tuffy and Books racing against time to track down Kitty's location, Danny must decide whether to protect the woman he loves or fight back in the ring. "The Racket Crowd" pits Danny's values and his fists against a scheme designed to break both.

A tense showdown at a remote house will reveal just how deep the treachery runs.

This account traces how stagecoach holdups evolved from modest early strikes into a magnet for increasingly dangerous criminals, including figures like Dutch Kate.
