Synopsis:
Zatara helps turn the Nelson ranch in Arizona from a failing business into a thriving dude ranch. Racketeers try to take a percentage of Nelson's profits. When the rancher won't pay, they start a fire. Zatara puts out the fire, but the gangsters kidnap the rancher's daughter Sally. Zatara follows the crooks into the desert and rescues Sally. He turns the racketeers over to the police, and Nelson plans to send Sally to college with his profits.
