Tom McGee arrives at Dead Man's Gulch with his partner Jigger, hot on the trail of a fortune in hidden gold connected to a mysterious figure named Foxy Denver—but the real treasure hunt becomes far more dangerous when Jigger's reckless killing spree forces Tom to stage an elaborate deception to throw the law off their scent. As the two close in on Foxy Denver's hidden cache deep in the canyon, ambition and greed threaten to tear the outfit apart in ways neither man anticipated.
When Benny Rodriquez and his partner Santos track down Will Cahill at a remote desert castle, they're after a fortune hidden decades ago by Rodriquez's outlaw father—and they're willing to strong-arm Cahill into revealing its location. As the search turns dangerous and old traps spring to life, Cahill and the resourceful Jean Fairfield must outwit their pursuers and survive the castle's deadly secrets.
Jimmy Stebbins returns home after a month away hoping to reconnect with Joan Trilling, only to find her distant and the Bar-S Ranch under the control of suspicious strangers. When a chance encounter with a mysterious rider yields a satchel full of stolen diamonds, Jimmy realizes Joan is trapped in a dangerous scheme—and sets out to expose the truth beneath the mystery of Mammoth Mesa using his wits and his guns.
Tom Travers spots his chance when a million dollars' worth of radium destined for medical research is stolen during a hold-up in Monterey—and decides to track down the thieves himself. With only a hunch and a contact in Mexico City, Travers chases the smugglers from one lead to the next, unraveling a scheme that takes him from the streets of Mexico City to the dusty border towns where the real prize is hidden. It's a case that'll test whether a playboy can become the sleuth he claimed he'd be.
Young Buck Bradford leaves Philadelphia behind for a fresh start as a Texas Ranger recruit, but proves his mettle before even reaching headquarters—first by stopping a train robbery, then by taking down a wildcat with a trick shot. When he arrives at Ranger Station and faces skepticism from the seasoned lawmen, Buck seizes a chance to investigate the Black King Casino, a crooked gambling joint that's eluded the Rangers for months, using cunning and sharp eyes to expose the fixed games and their kingpin operator.
Jake Steele, a blacksmith in the quiet town of Flatland, finds himself trapped in his own shop when the ruthless Lobo gang uses it as a hideout after a bank robbery—the same outlaws responsible for killing his uncle. Unarmed and outnumbered by five gun-slinging killers, Jake must use everything at his disposal to fight back and bring them to justice.
