The Ranger and Tonto visit reformed ex-convict Phil Beach. He is living the clean life now and our heroes want to see Phil recite The Gettysburg Address while dressed as and made up as Abraham Lincoln. But Phil's wife Ann is sick and needs treatment back east. Phil's rich but miserly father-in law Old Man Hawkins refuses to loan Phil the money to take Ann for treatment. Then Phil's old outlaw pal Lefty shows up and wants Phil to rejoin him in the criminal life. But Phil has an idea to rob Old Man Hawkins and use Lefty as a perfect alibi. The real Honest Abe would never have approved. Can The Ranger and Tonto figure out what's going on? Familiar character actor James Griffith is very good as both Phil Beach and the faux Abraham Lincoln.
