The show opens with a burst of horse chasing, gunfighting action. Later, the Lone Ranger and Tonto spot buzzards flying overhead, and the near death body of young Jack Barton. They nurse him back to health, and hear his story.
Jack tells of being framed for murder when his night of fun in a casino ended up in shooting. The band of cowhands stick together, and lay the blame on him. How can they get away with such a travesty of justice? Jack Barton is the adopted son of a wealthy rancher, but the man would be devastated to learn that Jack has a gambling problem, and huge dfebt to go along with it.
The Lone Ranger believes Jack and does all he can to retrieve the bogus IOU, and clear Jack’s name. Ride along and listen in to learn how our masked hero manages it.
PS: Though this is dated in 1933, I think this is actually a reproduction done at a later time of that earlier episode.
