The Purple Shirts were a crypto-Nazi gang who fought Uncle Sam. The group was founded by Andel Cobra and his group of gangsters, capitalizing on the discontent of farmers who lost their livelihoods to the Dust Bowl. They intended to create a dictatorship in the United States. When Ezra Smith, an aged activist and patriot, sought to rally the farmers against the Purple Shirts, Andel Cobra had him shot. Ezra’s son, Buddy Smith, fled into the desert. Moved by the boy’s plight, Uncle Sam took Buddy under his wing, and used his powers to defeat the Purple Shirts.
