Edited version of the 1938 Republic serial "The Lone Ranger."
История блюстителя закона Джона Рейда, который с помощью индейца Тонто стал легендарным мстителем в маске, стоящим на защите справедливости. Тонто с юмором и небылицами повествует о тех приключениях, которые пришлось пережить двум непохожим друг на друга героям, сведенным судьбой для того чтобы вместе сражаться против общего врага. Им приходится противостоять жадности и коррупции во времена, когда появление первых железных дорог изменило представление о власти и могуществе в мире.
Единственный техасский рейнджер, сумевший выбраться живым из засады, утроенной Батчем Кэвендиш, возвращается, чтобы отомстить всем, кто причастен к смерти его товарищей…
Джон Рейд, Техасский рейнджер, единственный среди друзей чудом выживший в жестокой засаде, брошен умирать в пустыне. Но случайно оказавшийся неподалеку индеец своими заговорами и травами выхаживает раненого, после чего тот становится ярым мстителем для убийц своих товарищей.
Краснокожий Тонто однажды спасая жизнь белому ковбою и не подозревал, что тот станет его товарищем и будет защищать индейцев от несправедливости белых американцев. И в одной их схваток с группой бандитов, пытаясь спасти живых они узнают, что все убитые ковбоями индейцы владельцы серебряных амулетов, которые если сложить воедино представляют собой карту затерянного города золота. Но вот кто нанял этих убийц, скрывающих свои лица за ковбойскими платками и кто будет их следующей жертвой? Одинокий рейнджер на своем серебристом коне Сильвере и его друг индеец Тонто спешат восстановить справедливость и скачут навстречу приключениям.
