This book follows a group of adventurous young horsemen, the Pony Rider Boys, who find themselves caught up in a dangerous situation while traveling in Texas, intersecting with infamous outlaws and the Texas Rangers. The opening of the story presents a weary group of riders, led by Professor Zepplin, as they navigate the scorching Texas landscape.
