Masked Raider #17

When rustler Yul Crosley is freed on a technicality after Les Wilcox defends him in court, the Masked Raider decides to take matters into his own hands—tracking Crosley and his gang to Wolf Pass, where the outlaw plans a massive cattle drive. With White Star and Talon at his side, the Masked Raider sets a trap that forces Crosley and his crew to face justice where the law alone couldn't reach them.

When a homesteader named Jim Turner is arrested for stealing a wealthy man's watch, lawyer Lester Wilcox—who's actually the Masked Raider in disguise—suspects the charge is a setup to keep Turner behind bars while someone else operates on his land. The Raider uncovers a scheme involving a hidden gold mine and must stop the real thieves before they can strike.

When Tucker Vail captures the Masked Raider's beloved horse and eagle, he parades them through town—daring anyone to stop him. Les Wilcox, a mild-mannered lawyer harboring a secret, finally fights back to free them, but his actions expose his true identity to Polly Garrett, who's been watching all along. Now Vail plots revenge by framing the Masked Raider for a bank robbery, forcing the real hero to track down the impostor and clear his name.

When young lawyer Les Wilcox defends a man accused of robbing the Sweet Sue Mine, Sheriff Garrett suspects there's more to the story—especially since Wilcox seems oddly connected to a masked vigilante. As the Masked Raider, Wilcox has reasons of his own for getting Cloherty freed, and he's about to discover that his client has no intention of paying for the favor. Cornering the criminal at the mine itself, the Masked Raider forces a reckoning that will either land Cloherty back behind bars—or get them both killed.
