Up to now the dauntless Lone Ranger pitted his wits, his strength, and his silver bullets against flesh-and-blood villains and, with Tonto, his faithful Indian friend, always won on all counts....

       Until, moments before the noose tightened on the neck of killer Rance Morgan, the condemned man shrieked out a curs: he would come back from the grave to avenge himself on the lawmen who convicted him.

       Within hours of the hanging a man was mysteriously strangled in a fool-proof cell, a six-man posse disappeared into thin air, and the Lone Ranger and Tonto were ambushed and captured!

       Had the ghost of Rance Morgan really returned from the grave? Before the Lone Ranger could solve the mystery, he would first have to free himself and his faithful friend from the no-man's-land of the Haunted Gulch!
