Time to saddle up, pardners! The Bantam Buckaroo is in town. While bringing a load of feed to a local ranch, Lobo runs into a gang of robbers who had previously shot the sheriff (but did not shoot the deputy) a week before. The owlhoots are up to no good and Lobo hears them talking about Someone named Buckshot Brown. After getting away from the bad guys, Lobo finds Buckshot Brown to warn him that th gang is looking for him. In return, Buckshot pours some patent medicine into the water trough from which Lobo's horses were drinking. The tainted water makes Lobo's horses go crazy as they went careening out off town, eventually crashing into the outlaw gang who had dressed themselves up as Indians. The feed is lost, the outlaws scatter and Lobo has to borrow a wagon to get back into town. The next day brings a new try to deliver the feed. The outlaws are trying to rob the rich rancher who had ordered the feed and it's up to Lobo -- The Bantam Buckaroo -- to stop them.

It's all an elaborate plot to get control of a gold mine. Bud decides it's time for The Hooded Horseman to come out of hiding. Guns blaze and fists fly as the human wildcat with a reputation for plumb poison, goes up against the gang to find out who is pulling the strings behind the scene. Along the way he saves a beautiful girl from a marriage to a cad before riding off into the desert, :galloping toward his next blazing adventure."
