Having stirred up a fight in Durango to cover their robbery, the scoundrels take flight in a balloon! Tex and Carson play heroes of the air in their turn to stop the rascals. Not even storms and lightning stop them: when the balloons land on the Mesa Verde pueblo, the voice of the colts forces the flying bandits to surrender! Months later, in Colorado, the Durbin gang receives information on an unescorted transport of money: Rocky Durbin smells a rat and goes to Saguar to verify the informer’s trustworthiness.
