The Ranger and Tonto are investigating reports of Indians armed with the latest Springfield rifles ambushing cavalry patrols. After rescuing Lt Haines and his small patrol from some renegades, the Ranger suspects someone at Fort Maddox of selling army rifles to the renegades. Storekeeper Asa Jones is in cahoots with post commander Major Jones to run guns to the Indians. But how to prove it?
John Hart makes his first LR appearance as an unnamed sergeant. He has a few scenes with Clayton Moore as The Ranger. For season 3, Hart replaced Moore as The Ranger when Moore asked for a salary increase. But the audience wouldn't accept Hart as the masked man and Moore returned the following season, presumably at a higher salary. Clayton Moore and John Hart were good friends and their friendship continued even though Hart took Moore's job for one season.
This is a very good episode, made truly memorable as the first LR appearance of John Hart.
