Three Indians were brutally murdered by a gang of hooded outlaws. Each one possessed a silver medallion, which were sections cut off from a large silver plaque which served as a treasure map to a secret location where a large amount of gold is reputedly stashed. Two more medallions are unaccounted for, and the The Lone Ranger and his friend Tonto must use all their resources to intercept the gang, prevent further carnage and save the owners of the medallions.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jay Silverheels, a Mohawk actor from Canada, spent his career playing Tonto—Hollywood's 'noble savage' archetype that dominated 1950s Westerns.
Clayton Moore was so protective of the Lone Ranger image that he wore the mask in public for decades, even fighting legal battles with the studio over it.
