Another action-packed story of the West. The new Marshal, Johnny Gray, is nearly sacked by the indignant towns-folk when the local desperado, Bayless, robs a bank right under his nose. Uncle Sandy believes in him, however, and they ride out together to bring Bayless in. Ricky follows and is trapped by the bandits. Fortunately, Champion and Rebel are not far away.
