Pursuing clues with the help of companions including Ping and a young cowboy, he confronts villains, explores a deserted house, and stages daring rescues. Episodes range from blundering detective work to high-speed chases by motor car and aeroplane, culminating in the exposure of conspirators and the vindication of a wronged woman. The narrative emphasizes quick thinking, mechanical ingenuity, and pulp-era thrills set amid carnival oddities.
