Storyline
When the young Texas Ranger, John Reid, is the sole survivor of an ambush arranged by the militaristic outlaw leader, Butch Cavendich, he is rescued by an old childhood Comanche friend, Tonto. When he recovers from his wounds, he dedicates his life to fighting the evil that Cavendich represents. To this end, John Reid becomes the great masked western hero, The Lone Ranger. With the help of Tonto, the pair go to rescue the President Grant when Cavendich takes him hostage. Written by Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>

[FIRST VERSE]
Balladeer: The legend started simply, just a boy without a home; taken in by Indians, but still pretty much alone. He had to struggle with strange customs, and his own fears from within. He learned the wisdom of the forest; he learned the ways of the wind.
[FIRST CHORUS, opening credits]
Balladeer: The legends tell of men who died to open up the West. They rode through Hell to find their Promised Land. The legends tell of One who tried to fight for all the rest; his name unknown, a stranger alone, The Man In The Mask... The legends tell of One Brave Man who rode to meet the test; his name unknown, a stranger alone, The Man In The Mask.
[SECOND VERSE]
Balladeer: Del Rio was a town in trouble, a town with a gun in its back; plagued by crime that just wouldn't stop, and cursed with a Sheriff that wore Black. So you'd think they'd be suspicious, but certain folks rarely are. They're willing to trust their law to just about any man who wears a star.
[THIRD VERSE]
Balladeer: Butch Cavendish lived undisturbed, waging his private war. And men who made mistakes were simply men he could not afford. Some say he was a monster, and others called him mad. Let's just say Butch Cavendish was everything that's bad.
[FOURTH VERSE, following the ambush]
