Quite a few bad hombres this time out, but Tex is the only one with a name. Jay Garrick's best pal Jim heads out West and mines silver. He strikes it rich and Tex and his unnamed buddy try to strike him dead. Word reaches Jay and soon the Flash is on the case!
He captures the two without too much issue but trouble continues when it turns out the local sheriff is part of the gang. He lets the two escape and sends for a Texas gunfighter.
How does Jay defeat these desperados? Hardcore nudity (by 1941's standards anyway).
Yup, he keeps running the bandits out to the sands and ripping their clothes off in the process before leaving them in the heat before they confess.
