Hi! I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to Paudio. The Sorce of Sound. I want to talk to you today about a 1940 American Western film, directed by William Whitney and John English titled Hi-Yo Silver. It stars Lee Powell as Lone Ranger, Hi-Yo Silver as Silver, and Chief Thundercloud as Tonto. The film was created by condensing the fifteen chapters of the 1938 film serial The Lone Ranger.

Hi-Yo Silver is about a rag-tag band of Confederate Army deserters led by Captain Mark Smith captures, then murders Colonel Marcus Jeffries after discovering that he's a newly appointed Commissioner of Finance sent by the U.S. Treasury Department to Texas to collect taxes. Smith then assumes Jeffries identity and over time sets into play his plan to conquer Texas and rule it as a dictator. The Texas Rangers sent to investigate are ambushed, but one survives. He is nursed back to health by Tonto and swears to avenge the massacre.

Let’s hear the film now. Hi-Yo Silver!
