Sam Slake was a vicious killer who would shoot a man in the back with less concern than he showed selling smuggled guns and illegal liquor to the Indians. Most of the townspeople were deathly afraid of Sam and his gang –– and when he ruthlessly shot down a government agent, only Patricia Knowlton, the dead man's daughter, undertook to bring the outlaws to justice. She knew it was a dangerous goal she set for herself; knew she could lose her life exactly as her father had. She was prepared to die –– but she didn't reckon on unexpected help from the mysterious, nameless friend to all in trouble –– The Lone Ranger –– and his faithful Indian sidekick, Tonto. Together, the young girl, the masked, one-time Texas Ranger, and his devoted Indian companion would ride the Old West of a nest of vermin and bring the law back to a lawless town.
