Synopsis
The Sting-Ray paralyzes Sheriff Brooks and Clay Riley and takes the money raised for the local school at a dance at Carter Slade's ranch. The Night Rider tries to catch him but is stopped by the Sheriff and his posse. The next day the Sheriff meets with local businessmen and decides to go after the Night Rider again. Unfortunately, the local druggist is really the Sting-Ray (formerly Scorpion) and uses the opportunity to kidnap Natalie. The Night Rider rescues her but is almost shot by the Sheriff when leaving. The Tarantula stops him and pretends that he is working with the Night Rider.
