Synopsis for Captain Jim of the Texas Rangers: "The Train Robbery, Part 19"
Bob prepares to set off the dynamite caps he placed in the door frame. The forest surrounding the cabin is quickly catching fire, and he needs to act fast. With boxes and barrels acting as a barricade against the explosion, he lights the fuse. The dynamite blows the door open, and Bob wastes no time running away from the smoke and out into the clear air. His horse, Jasper, soon meets up with him, and together they head back to where Captain Jim and the kids agreed to wait.
Their path blocked off by the landslide, Jim and the kids retrace their steps. Bob catches up with them on the way, telling them of the blaze that prevents passage through the ridge on the other side. With both routes impassable, Bob leads them to another, but possibly more dangerous path. Crossing a steep slope with a clay surface is the only other option, but riding on the horses would make the crossing more difficult. Johnny and his horse almost tumble to the bottom, but Jim's quick roping skills are successful in saving his life. When all are across, Captain Jim remembers the envelope he found that's addressed to Bob and he hands it to him, asking if Bob had any idea what it was about.

Synopsis for "Golden Dragon, Episode 14"
Ian puts on the unconscious guard's clothes and starts towards the campfire. Only one Mongolian guard stands watch over the area, and Ian quickly dispatches him with the butt of his rifle. Doris and Pan Chi-Lou are found waiting in the doorway of a cabin. Ian asks Pan to saddle the camels and prepare for their escape, Doris offers to help him, so Ian stands watch in the doorway to make sure the Mongols don't surprise them. One of the camels Pan tries to saddle makes a loud cry, and he hurriedly tries to shush it. A Mongol awakens and leaves his hut, goes to the fire and looks around, then spies Ian in the doorway and yells at him in the native tongue. Ian stalls by feigning a yawn, and then pointing in the direction of the stables, believing the man to be asking about the night watch. The ruse works, and the Mongol, satisfied, returns to his hut.
Pan Chi-Lou and Doris must have had enough time to prepare the camels by now, so Ian starts to cautiously make his way over to them. Hiding in the shadows of the huts, he is only a few yards away when a large, stout Mongolian walks straight into his path. The Mongolian leader! The large man recognizes him and is about to shout out when Ian lays a hard punch into his jaw.

Synopsis for Federal Men: "The Case of the Cinema Killing"
Squint Hogan had just been released from prison. Coincidentally, the judge who sentenced him is killed by a bullet. Steve arrests Squint, though there isn't yet any evidence of his involvement. Steve tells the Chief that he will prove that Squinty is guilty before the start of the trial, or else he'll hand in his resignation. And then, with Ralph Ventor assisting as his partner, Steve discovers that there was a second murder that day. A man named Bill Gordon was shot dead in an alley near to the crime scene. Ballistics report that the bullet that killed Bill was from the same gun that shot the judge.
Steve and Ralph search Gordon's apartment, where they discover a tiny movie studio. This is the break that Steve was looking for. He knew that the victim must have snapped a shot of Squinty killing the judge, and so Squinty chased him down and killed him too. If they could find that film, they could prove Squinty Hogan's guilt! They visit Bill Gordon's film developer shop in New York, and find the most recent batch of film that was sent.
Steve calls the Chief and Squinty in for a private screening. The image of the murder should be written somewhere on the film. But when the picture ends, there is still no sign of the incriminating video. The chief is disappointed in Steve, and Squinty Hogan laughs at the Federal Men's feeble attempts to convict him. But an idea comes to Ralph, and he asks to replay the video by hand. When he does so, he finds a single frame which he puts up on the screen. It clearly shows Squint Hogan killing Judge Daniel Wilder.
His sentence being death, Squinty waits silently in his cell. Ralph figured that Bill would only have a second to snap the photo, so he would have only used one panel of film, which is too fast for the human eye to catch. So he rolled by hand each separate panel of the movie, until the murder photo appeared.

Synopsis for The Vikings: "Episode 19"
A massive storm brews as soon as Thorgen orders his men to toss Ivar overboard. The crew become frightened that this is an omen, and they refuse to obey. Instead they go to Ivar and beg for his assistance, knowing him to be a great sailor. Ivar tells them if Thorgen is relieved of his captaincy, and if they agree to make him their leader, he will help them. The crew agrees to these terms. Thorgen is overpowered and thrown below deck, while Ivar takes hold of the tiller. The tiny ship begins to lurch in the storm. Ivar guides it through the waves and keeps it as steady as possible. He continues in this manner throughout the night. Finally, the morning light breaks through the clouds, and the storm subsides. Thorgen's crewmen are grateful to Ivar, all except for Thorgen's most loyal underling, Tryker, who sneaks below deck to release his captain.
That night, as Ivar sleeps, Thorgen enters his quarters with a blade in hand, ready to strike.

Meanwhile, Stewart, Miller, Drenoff, and Elsa are all riding down the road in their two separate cars, when a cloud of dust rising from the ground catches their attention. The Chinese cavalry! Stewart guesses that they have been sent to apprehend them, so he drives the car into a nearby herder settlement. With his gun, he orders the herders to come down from their horses. Then the plan is put into motion. With Drenoff and Miller heading up the rear, Stewart leads the herd of horses, making sure they kick up lots of dust, towards the oncoming cavalry. With his gun pointed at them, Captain Stewart yells for the cavalry to throw their weapons on the ground and surrender. Thinking that the large cloud of dust made by the horses conceals an army of gun-wielding cossacks, the fooled cavalry obligingly raise their hands in the air.

Sandor calls for a retreat, and the pack follows him out through the now closing gates. He follows after Jadev and the camels.
Jadev, in the meantime, has doubled back with the casket to assist Sandor. However, when he turns around, one of the Rajah's men comes out of concealment and grabs the casket. When Jadev makes a grab for it, the man begins striking Jadev on the head. Fortunately, Sandor appears at this moment and subdues the attacker, causing the casket to drop into the brush where another of Rajah's men lay in hiding.

With the cannons, Quick takes time to train the tribe in marksmanship.
Back at Port Royal, the Bonnie Bess limps back to harbor bringing news of Kendal Quick's supposed demise. His fiance, Marjorie, is overcome with grief at the news. But as we already know, Quick is far from dead! On the way to the Spanish port city of Cartagena, a ship appears on the horizon. He orders the crew to prepare the cannons. The ship pulls in, side to side with Quick's, and the cannons start going off. Arrows from the Indians' bows also hit the other ship's deck, and soon, Quick gives the order to board. The experienced fighters of the Spanish are no match for the savage fury of the Indians, and soon the captain hands over his sword to Quick in a token of surrender. With both ships, and a large treasure haul, they now set a course for Port Royal.
His old crew is relieved and they happily welcome Quick back home. He goes straight to the home of Lord Barlow and Marjorie, who happily embraces him with joy.

Synopsis for Steve Conrad Adventurer: "The Revenge of Devachan, Part 7"
Steve's battle with the Apollons continues. He spots one more climbing a vine near him, so Steve lunges. The two of them begin to fall, but Steve is able to catch his grip on a stray vine. With his other hand clutching tightly to the Apolloan warrior, he carefully lowers them both to the ground. The man starts to get up, and Steve braces for another fight. But then the Apollon concedes. And so the battle has finished. Steve's act of heroism and his fighting prowess have made him the victor. The man tells him he is at his service from here on out.
Out farther in the jungle, the Devachan carries a hypnotized Myra to a small round canoe. He places her inside before getting in himself, and then the two of them disappear into the deadly marshes. Steve angrily asks the woman guard where Myra was. She tells him that Devachan has made off with her while he was busy fighting. With the Apollon's tracking skills, the two men follow Devachan's trail to the edge of a swampland. They go on into the swamp, farther and farther until the murky water is up to their chests. Suddenly, they become surrounded by a strange native tribe . The Apollon identifies them as the Bogoona, savage protectors of the marsh. They are known to be rather violent with strangers. They take Steve and his companion hostage and escort the two of them to their leader. The Bogoona's leader shouts at them in a language that Steve doesn't understand. The Apollon man translates that they are angry at having one of their canoes stolen. Believing it was most likely the Devachan, Steve tells the natives that he will get it back from the thief.
