Tex Ewalt received an Eastern classical education before he headed west, so he can and does quote everything from the Koran and Omar Khayyam, to the Bible and Shakespeare. Tex has been wandering around and has become bored, so he decides to re-join Hopalong, Red Connors and Johnny Nelson again. He takes the train to Windsor, Kansas, where, having nothing else to do, adopts the name Tex Jones and starts playing poker to make some money. Little did he know that Windsor is run by an old enemy, Gus Williams. Somehow, Tex ends up as town marshal, negotiates a truce between miners and the railroad, and comes out the winner in more than one gunfight. Oh, there's also romance.
