...carrying off Tommy's gauges to check, breaking into a neighbor's house and rifling his closet, the Major sleuths out a sabotage gang, finds most of them are just his sourer-faced neighbors. Whether they blow things up for Nazi gold or just for the heck of it remains as mysterious as where their bombs come from. With the help of three Spanish-American War cronies, World War veterans, other hastily mobilized vigilantes, the Major drags his suspects before a kangaroo court in the plane plant, makes them confess...

Last week, while towns along the oldtime route were restoring some of the legendary landmarks, cinema's hardest-riding Western star, resolute, weather-beaten Buck Jones, was blazing the trail again for the younger generation. Pledged to abstain from profanity and hard liquor, Buck and his heck-for-leather pony riders yippee forth on their foam-flecked ponies, carry the mail on schedule though redskins and mustachioed villains do their durndest to bar the way.
