The Lone Ranger moves from the radio to television in its serialised format.
In this introduction. Texas Lone Rangers are out to get the Cavendish gang. Not realising that they have been double crossed and heading into an ambush.
Ranger Reid is badly injured but still alive. The other rangers are dead which includes his brother.
A travelling young Indian called Tonto finds Reid and nurses him back to health. Tonto came across Reid many years earlier when he was a boy and Reid helped him out. Now Tonto can now repay his kindness.
By the end of the episode. Reid is dead and transformed into the Lone Ranger but one of the gang who betrayed the rangers is injured but alive.
This is economical storytelling. It needed to be brisk and exciting. There was no doubt that the turncoat Collins was going to be shot by Cavendish.
