Ned Anderson (Robert Clarke) is an eastern reporter sent west to do a story on The Lone Ranger. Ned meets newspaper owner Hale Monroe (Lois Hall). Hale hatches a scheme to have Ned pose as an outlaw in order to get the Ranger to try to find him.
Meanwhile, The Ranger and Tonto are after three convicts who escaped from Brimstone Prison: Big Tom Davis (Richard Reeves), Hawk Mason (Michael Ansara), and a young fellow named Peterson (James Parnell).
The Ranger wounds Peterson in a gun battle with the convicts. Davis then shoots Peterson dead to keep him reporting details of the underground escape system that is operated by hotel owner Moley Sanders (Lester Dorr). Then Davis and Mason flee.
Ned, posing as outlaw Frosty March, encounters Moley and gets involved in a planned robbery by Davis and Mason. The Ranger and Tonto are close behind. It's a real dangerous situation. Can our heroes figure it out or is Moley too smart for them?
Lois Hall plays Hale Monroe. She got her start acting in 1948 and appeared in many westerns. She continued to act on occasion after 1957 but concentrated mostly on caring for her family. After her husband died in 1995, Lois spent most of her time doing volunteer work for her church. She died in 2006.
This is an entertaining episode and the second featuring John Hart as The Ranger.
