Lynn Taylor and his kid brother Frank may not be angels, but they're not devils, either. They're just a couple of men-two-fisted Texans who have landed on the wrong side of a corrupt lawman. And like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, they're up to their necks in trouble.

Lynn cooks up a daring plan to clear his brother's name and rope in the real outlaw.

Also includes the Western adventures, Ride 'Em Cowboy, the story of a man and woman's rodeo rivalry that leads to romance, and Boss of the Lazy B, in which a lady gets swindled-and the swindler ultimately gets justice.
