Charlie Judd, a homeless Indian boy who was adopted and educated by Mary, pretends to join Bert Walton's gang in a scheme to help the sheriff discover where the loot is hidden. The Lone Ranger finds a note to the sheriff which Charlie hid in a tree. The gang suspects the Lone Ranger. He tells the gang he wants to join but first he has to prove himself by shooting Charlie. The Lone Ranger talks ""Indian talk"" to Charlie under the noses of the gang, and tells Charlie to pretend to be shot. They get the drop on the gang, and Mary is proud of Charlie. (thetvdb.com)
