In 1887 Texas, nineteen-year-old Mabel Colter, daughter of a blacksmith, walked home at dusk through a dusty cattle town. When Harlan Pike — a hard-drinking cowboy with a reputation for charm in daylight and cruelty in shadows — cornered her in an alley, Mabel fought back. In the struggle, his own pistol went off. The town saw not self-defense but a girl with blood on her hands. Sentenced to fourteen years in the stone-gray walls of Redstone Prison, Mabel Colter became more than a convict. She became a whispered legend — the girl who fought back when the law wouldn’t.

A wave of motion rippled through the cattle as they broke into a run. The cows directly behind Sarah and me looked back anxiously. The entire herd would be upon us in no time. Sarah cupped a hand to her mouth. "Clear out of the way! Stampede!"

But just as the Hardy Boys are trying to make the most of a disappointing situation, one of the cast members goes missing.

This bundle includes Dungeons & Detectives and Return to Black Mountain.
