Picture yourself settling into an easy chair on a summer evening in 1942, the warm glow of your radio set casting dancing shadows across the parlor, when suddenly the thundering hoofbeats of Topper announce Hopalong Cassidy's arrival in the dusty town of Gunlock. But this is no ordinary cattle rustling or bank robbery—Hoppy discovers himself trapped in a sinister web of corruption where the very man sworn to uphold justice has become judge, jury, and executioner. The mysterious "Satan" who rules the jail with an iron fist has imprisoned an innocent man on false charges, and only Cassidy's quick wit and faster draw can expose the diabolical scheme before another innocent life is snuffed out. As the tension mounts and voices crackle across the airwaves with barely concealed malice, listeners will find themselves on the edge of their seats, uncertain whether Hoppy can overcome an enemy who controls the law itself.
