    • Trivia
      When the Lone Ranger calls out "Hi Yo Silver, Away" it is the voice of Earle W. Graser, the radio's Lone Ranger, heard and not the voice of either Lee Powell or Billy Bletcher. His recording of this signature cry was used even after his death and Brace Beemer had become the Lone Ranger.

    HI Ho Silver.... Away
    This was a good serial about a sheriff of the old west getting shot and becoming The Lone Ranger, a fighter of evil.

    The picture quality wasnt that great but it was watchable, and there was even some WWE movies in there before WWE. There was a John Cena Attitude Adjustment and a Randy Orton RKO.

    The story wasnt as exciting as it would have been in the 30's but it was pretty decent.
