Synopsis:
The Crimson Avenger investigates a situation in which a large numbers of cattle are dying of thirst despite a plentiful water supply. He discovers that two racketeers have taken control of the water and are not letting the ranchers use it. The Crimson Avenger pits the racketeers against one another. Hammond is killed, but Coe survives and faces off against the Avenger. The costumed crimefighter overcomes the crooks and proves that the racketeers did not own the water. Coe is arrested, and the cattle problem is solved.
