Picking up where issue #20 left off, the X-Men continue their pursuit of Lucifer, who has enlisted the aid of a super-computer named Dominus, and his robot allies. As the mutant team members search for an entrance to Lucifer's lair, the story takes a side trip into the Western genre as the X-Men deal with some ranchers who hope to capture them for a reward, much to their chagrin. Eventually the X-Men confront Lucifer again, and send him teleporting away with his tail between his legs after they discover that they can defeat Dominus by doing, well, nothing. More classic X-Men Silver Age action from Jay Gavin and Dick Ayers.
