Murderous outlaw Biff Baker and his cohort Cactus Gleason are one jump ahead of The Ranger and Tonto. They come on Joe Peters' cabin. Joe has gold hidden on his land and is expecting a visit from his sister Abby, whom he hasn't seen in 30 years. Biff shoots Joe and he falls off a cliff. Biff plans to assume Joe's identity to escape The Ranger. And just so nobody else will know about his plan, he shoots Cactus Gleason also. Abby mistakes the Ranger and Tonto for road agents and throws down on them with a shotgun, saying "You'll be the deadest bandits that ever lived." Abby is quickly convinced our heroes' good intentions though, and continues on to see Brother Joe. Meanwhile, The Ranger and Tonto find the real Joe still alive but badly hurt. Will Abby be fooled by Biff's impersonation? Can Joe recover from his wounds? Can The Ranger and Tonto figure out what's going on? Anne O'Neal plays Abby. She had a 30-year career in Hollywood from 1932-1962 and appeared in numerous movies and TV shows, although often in uncredited roles. She is quite good in this LR episode. Anne appeared in one other LR episode, "Rendezvous at Whipsaw" in season 4.
