Ace Wright, haunted by his past capture at the hands of Pow-Wow Smith—whose shadow betrayed him—sets out to master the secrets of shadows to gain the upper hand. His research leads him to forbidden knowledge, including Shadow Belts that shield the wearer and magic arrows capable of killing a man by striking his shadow.

In "Secret of the Outlaw Timepiece!", outlaw Lafe spins a clever twist on a children's tale, sending Nighthawk a seemingly harmless alarm watch—set to ring precisely at the moment of his next robbery. With the watch ticking toward a deadly deadline, the tension mounts as Nighthawk must decide whether to trust the gift or unravel the trap behind it.

In "The Strange Signs at Saddle Rock!", a lone rider named Wyoming passes through a frontier town where every shop and saloon bears his name—though he’s never been there before. The townspeople claim it’s a clever trick to scare off outlaws, but when Wyoming notices the signs are freshly painted, he starts to suspect the truth behind the ruse.
