The Lone Ranger

Six Texas Rangers, led by Captain Dan Reid (Tristram Coffin), are ambushed in a canyon by the outlaw, Butch Cavendish (Glenn Strange) and his gang. One ranger, Reid’s brother John (Clayton Moore), survives the attack. He is found and nursed back to health by an old friend from his childhood, an Indian scout named Tonto (Jay Silverheels). The younger Reid fashions a mask from his slain brother’s vest, and becomes The Lone Ranger. This legendary origin story makes “Enter The Lone Ranger” the perfect premiere episode of the classic series The Lone Ranger.
