Tex Tucker
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Episode: 1
Synopsis
Little Jake goes into Sarah Jones' shop and learns that Pedro the Bandit is in town.
Grandpa Twink tells Little Jake all about Tex .......... Once upon a time, Tex, together with his horse, Rocky, and his dog, Dusty, were crossing a desolate trail when they came across a child, a little Indian boy named Makooya. The boy was very hungry and so were Tex and his friends. But this was a barren place and there was no food to be found. Tex built a fire and little Makooya fell asleep. In the middle of the night he woke up screaming the word 'Kalamakooya" and an Indian Chief materialised. He caused the trees to bloom and the water falls to flow, and as a reward for finding his son, he gave Tex four magic feathers. One gave Dusty the power of speech, another did the same for Rocky, and the two remaining feathers made Tex' s guns swivel and fire automatically whenever he was in danger.

INDIAN ATTACK
Episode: 6
Synopsis
Grandpa Twink is held up by Fernado the Bandit who demands Grandpa's little gold watch.
Just in time Tex Tucker intervenes. But before the issue is resolved Fernando draws Tex's attention to smoke signals in the hills. He convinces the Sheriff that they are about to be attacked by Indians. Tex orders every man in the town to start building barricades and reluctantly agrees with Fernando's crafty suggestion that he, too, should join in the frey.
While awaiting the Indian attack, Tex has "some shut eye".... and Fernando, escaping the attentions of Doc Haggerty and Dan Morse, steals the Sheriff's magic hat and substitutes his own. Unknown to Fernando, however, Dusty exchanges the hats once again.
A tom-tom beats in the distance and it seems that the Indians are about to move in. When the shooting begins it's discovered that the "Indians" are Fernando and his side-kick, Pedro. Fernando, of course, believes that the "magic guns" are out of commission. Poor Fernando! Poor Pedro!

As Grandpa Twink and Ma Jones drive their buggy through Yellow Gulch Pass they're held up by Pedro and Fernando, the Bandits. Pedro has set up a toll-gate and says that the citizens of Four Feather Falls must now pay to go through the Pass.

If their plan succeeds, the Canyon will be completely blocked, and travellers to Four Feather Falls will have to pay Pedro and Fernando to go through Yellow Gulch Pass.
Meanwhile, Tex Tucker has heard about the toll-gate and suspects the bandits next move. He arrives at the Black Boulder in time to place the dynamite in a different position. With one shot from his magic guns he explodes the dynamite and the boulder crashes down into Yellow Gulch Pass foiling the bandits' plan to block up Black Boulder Canyon. The boulder smashes the bandit's toll-gate and also makes Black Boulder Canyon a safe route into Four Feather Falls.

FRAME-UP
Episode: 11
Synopsis
Grandpa Twink tells how Sheriff Tex Tucker got himself arrested. Tex, Dusty and Rocky are on their way to Silver City in response to a call for help from Sheriff Jameson. Along the trail they camp down for the night. Suddenly a dark-clad man springs from the undergrowth, throws a blanket over Rocky, and rides him off into the darkness.
The following day Tex and Dusty are trudging wearily along the trail when they encounter a bearded rider, Ruff Snyder, who is leading an extra horse. Snyder sells Tex the spare horse for fifty dollars. Tex and Dusty next run up against the very man they were looking for - Sheriff Jameson. But he does not believe that Tex is a Sheriff; and in the saddle bag of the newly bought horse he discovers a stolen hag of money. Despite his protests, Tex is arrested and slung into jail ... he refuses to use the magic guns on law man.
Ruff Snyder turns up at the jail and denies that he sold Tex a horse. Some nights later Tex and Dusty, looking out of their cell window, see Big Ben, obviously the "Phantom Rider" - tether Rocky in the yard behind the jail. Ben calls on Tex and tells him that Jameson is on his way to Four Feather Falls to take over there. And Tex realises that the whole thing has been a frame-up. The magic guns, which until now have been kept in reserve, swivel into action and, first, Big Ben and, later, the crooked Sheriff Jameson are made to realise that only one man can be Sheriff of Four Feather Falls - Tex Tucker.

Meanwhile, Mr. Jackson, the Bank Manager has broken the key to his strongroom, and the local cowboys can't be paid.
Back in the jailhouse, Pedro is digging so well that he has made a passage beneath the street and right into the bank's strongroom.

But Fernando is asleep, and instead Pedro unknowingly hands out the bags of gold to Tex Tucker.
Everyone is hap[y, the Bank can pay the cowboys and the jailhouse is ready for a new floor. Everyone, except Pedro and Fernado !

GOLD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT
Episode: 13
Synopsis
Pedro and Fernando plan to make a fortune out of Yellow Gulch - their own property - by pretending to have found gold there. They fire some gold dust into a piece of rock so that it glitters in the sunshine; take the rock into the saloon; and spread the word that they've struck it rich. Everyone wants to buy a piece of Yellow Gulch , and, after consultation, the two bandits decide to sell equal shares to all.
Later, Tex Tucker notices the townspeople making off with picks and shovels. In Ma Jones' store he learns of the "gold" in Yellow Gulch. Tex is suspicious; and he asks Ma Jones and Dan Morse to help him carry out an idea.
When silence has descended on Four Feather Falls, Ma Jones is confronted by Pedro and Fernando. Their intention is to commandeer some supplies, hut Ma drops a hint about a telegram that has arrived, stating that the gold strike in Yellow Gulch is the biggest ever. Pedro and Fernando make a speedy exit, rather puzzled, but determined to buy back all the land that they have sold.
That evening all the "prospectors" are gathered in the Saloon ..... Pedro is sobbing. Tex announces that Pedro's grandmother has died ..... by family tradition, she has to be buried at Yellow Gulch ..... but now the Gulch no longer belongs to Pedro ..... and the bandit is very upset. "I guess the only fair thing to do," he says, "is to put the land up for auction. That way Pedro will have the chance to buy it back at a fair price".
All are agreed on the auction, and, naturally, do very well out of it. As they leave the Saloon Pedro and Fernando are happy, too. But they wonder why Tex and his friends are laughing heartily ........
