Burroughs calls up successful motifs from earlier works and recombines them in a roller-coaster fashion. The work starts as a social critique of the inner city, Chicago, but quickly moves to sea. A lost city of Japanese samurai can be found on a tiny Pacific island, and this serves as the action-filled turf of Billy Byrne, a Chicago street thug. He experiences a mutiny among pirates, encounters a lost race of Samurai head-hunter degenerates, must compete with another man for the love of beautiful Barbara, and travels to Mexico where Burroughs combines social history and the traditional Western.

Billy Byrne is a mucker, a low class American born in Chicago's ghetto. He grows up a thief and a mugger. He is not chivalrous nor kind, and has only meager ethics, never giving evidence against a friend or leaving someone behind. He chooses a life of robbery and violence, disrespecting those who work for a living. He has a deep hatred for wealthy society. When falsely accused of murder, Billy flees to San Francisco and is shanghaied aboard a ship. The ship's secret mission is to hijack a millionaire's daughter, Barbara Harding, for ransom. After a terrible storm, the ship is damaged and Billy rescues Barbara. He protects her from the jungle for weeks and they fall in love. In The Return of a Mucker Billy goes back to his old Chicago haunts intending to clear his name. His time with Barbara imbued him with faith in the law and justice. However, he soon realizes that the system is more interested in finding someone guilty than in finding the guilty party. Awaiting the verdict, he reads that Barbara and Mallory are about to marry. The Oakdale Affair features the Return of The Mucker sidekick, Bridge. In the home of Jonas Prim, president of an Oakdale bank, a thief makes off with a servant's clothing and valuables belonging to Prim's daughter Abigail. Escaping, the thief later encounters a group of hobos and is taken for one of them, the Oskaloosa Kid. Two of the hobos attempt to murder the newcomer for the loot, who shoots at one and flees. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.

Adventures in Chicago, California, Honolulu, and an unfrequented Japanese Island, and among gangmen, policemen, sailors, millionaires, yachtsmen, nobility, savage head-hunters, and prize fighters, fall to the lot of Billy Byrne, the Mucker, as extraordinary a character as the world-famous Tarzan. Raised in the alleys of a gang-infested district of Chicago, among murderous thugs and porch-climbers, Billy Byrne grew up a mucker and a violent hater of law and order. A murder, of which he was accused, but innocent, hurled him into a series of startling adventures on land and sea that rival any that were ever narrated by Jack London or Joseph Conrad. They were the means, however, for giving birth in the mucker to a new and finer regard for the law and for having him meet the one woman who changed the current of his life. NOTE: The text used in this book is the First Edition text. This book contains the first Mucker novel. The second Mucker novel can be found in THE RETURN OF THE MUCKER.
