Tom Mix Western #38

Tom Mix intercepts a cryptic message—an unfinished note tossed from a speeding train—that leads him to a mysterious woman in a scarlet dress at Custer City's railway terminal. When she flees from his approach and dangerous men attempt to stop him, Tom uses the girl's handwriting on her baggage tag to track her to the Circle-R Ranch, where she claims not to recognize him. Convinced she's hiding something and sensing real danger closing in, Tom stakes out the ranch to get answers—and arrives just as armed men move in to snatch her away.

Tom Mix springs into action when mysterious Miss Sally Rodgers finds herself under attack—and when she finally reveals the truth about her desperate cry for help from the express train, he discovers a web of investment fraud and danger that puts her uncle and the girl herself in grave peril. But before Tom can act on what he's learned, he's captured by the very swindlers at the heart of the scheme, leaving him bound and locked away while they move to silence Sally for good. Will Tom find a way out of his predicament before it's too late?
