Jack Burke runs Outlaw Town, a haven for road agents who can pay Burke the $5,000 he demands to stay there and receive his protection from the law. Jim Andrews robs the express office of $5,000 so he can go there. Burke's wife Edith likes Jim and wants to turn him away from his life of crime. But, Edith is held a virtual prisoner by her husband. The Ranger will have to work undercover to get into Outlaw Town, where he and Tonto may be able to put a stop to this criminal sanctuary. That's a tough job. But, as Gerald Mohr says about the Ranger in his opening monologue, "He was a fabulous individual."

Outlaw towns weren't unheard of in the television westerns. We've seen them in shows like The Rifleman, Rawhide, and Gunsmoke. Now we see one here. The whole thing starts with a young man robbing the express office of just $5000 - no more, and no less! Come to find out, it's the price he has to pay to get into Outlaw Town and the protection it can give. But there's a woman in town (the wife of the boss there) who is saddened that such a young man had to come.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto again are able to do the impossible. By using trickery and undercover work, they are able to get into the town and devise a plan.

These shows are so simplistic and not my favorite, but it's still nice to watch them and see just how far television came. I think the later fifties and early sixties made the best westerns. I don't like these enough to buy the DVD's, but they are worth watching on You tube only once...
