Badger, Jr. The serial opens in the mining town of Golconda during its raucous nightlife. A mysterious figure in masculine disguise and silk mask visits the Dew Drop Inn gambling hall seeking someone, where they encounter Sol Scott, a bearded miner. When the drunk bully Vernon Shadutz assaults the masked stranger, Scott intervenes in a brutal fight, disarming Shadutz with a knife and defeating him with a powerful punch.

As Shadutz's gang prepares retaliation, the barkeeper Isaac Tampkin threatens violence with a shotgun to stop a gunfight in his establishment. A grizzled veteran character also draws a weapon, escalating the standoff.
