The Lone Ranger Podcast

The Lone Ranger and Tonto happen upon a body. A letter found on the body leads them to believe the man was Jim Baer. He has no other means of identification. The letter states he was shot by outlaws named Ed Scott and Lefty Cullum, then it simply says "Lazy Y." So the Lone Ranger and Tonto head for the Lazy Y ranch to try and find a pair of murderers.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto stumble upon a war party being formed by the great indian chief, Geronimo. Geronimo's hatred of white men, especially Soldiers, is well known. Tonto learns Geronimo plans to attack a nearby Army garrison under the guise of the flag of truce. The Ranger takes this information to Captain Ruddy, commander of the fort. The Masked Rider and Captain Ruddy form a plan - a plan that leaves only the Lone Ranger, Tonto, and one Soldier, Lieutenant Peterson, to face Geronimo and his war party!

Sandy Tindale had a shootout with a crooked gambler. When the Lone Ranger brought him back to face the law, no one believed he'd go to jail.

Now Sandy has paid his debt and is due back on the next stage, along with $5,000 of Banker Pottle's money. When the stage arrives, there is no Sandy, and no money. Only a fancy silver spur that Sandy had won years ago in a rodeo. The Lone Ranger sets out to find Sandy, to either clear his name, or make him face justice.

On the way he runs into the Lone Ranger and Tonto. Intersted by Abe's story, the Ranger decides to stay around town for a while.

On the 74th anniversary of the Lone Ranger, we again jump ahead to present the special 20th anniversary broadcast. This episode is my personal favorite. On the anniversary of the Bryant's Gap ambush, the Lone Ranger is taking his nephew, Dan Reid Jr., to the Gap to see his father's grave. Meanwhile, Butch Cavendish, who led the ambush all those years ago, has broken out of jail and is out for revenge against the Masked Man.
