At the Deer Lodge prison, some prisoners are able to have weapons smuggled into the prison and use them to stage a break. The escaped outlaws were all put into the prison by the Texas Kid and their leader is determined to get revenge.

The outlaws ride into Caliber City and begin attack them. News gets to Emilio and Red Hawk who tell the Temple family who are riding a wagon into town. When Lance suggests that there is something he can do, Zane reminds his son of the vow he made never to use a gun against another man. Suddenly the outlaws attack, injuring Lance and Zane and taking Emilio and Red Hawk prisoner. Lance and Zane are discovered by their neighbor who takes them home and treats them. Lance revives first and slips away to do something, telling their neighbor to keep an eye on his father.

Lance rides out to Hidden Valley and changes into the Texas Kid and rides after Emilio and Red Hawk, following the outlaws trail.

Synopsis for "Buckaroo Badmen of Big Rock!"

Reprint of the 6th story from
Wild Western #6

Tex Morgan and Lobo are asked by the governor to track down the outlaw known as Bighead and his gang who had recently stolen a shipment of Springfield Rifles that were being shipped to the army. They meet up with Baxter, the purchasing agent and they gather a posse to track down Bighead and his gang. They track them down to the hills outside of the town of Mud Creek, gunning down sentries as they go.

They find the outlaws hiding in a valley and learn that they are also led by a masked man calling himself the Masked Rider who is organizing them for another job. Tex and Lobo lead their posse to attack the gathering of outlaws and succeed in mowing them, and Bighead down, but the Masked Rider manages to escape.

Following the Masked Rider's back trail, Tex realizes that Baxter was not present during the fight and deduces that Baxter was really the Masked Rider and he was the informant who had been leaking information to the outlaws. Jumping Baxter, Tex fights him until Baxter takes a misstep and falls over the edge of a cliff to his death.
