The last three surviving members of the Butch Cavendish gang, Tom Casley,Duke, and Slim, are released after fifteen years in prison. They set out to recover the loot the gang cached away. But Slim tries to double cross the other two and Tom Casley shoots him dead. When Duke asks if Tom wants to bury their former partner, He says, "Leave him to the buzzards." The Ranger and Tonto are hot on the trail and soon find Slim's body (before the buzzards do, fortunately). The loot is buried in a cave and Tom and Duke hire honest explosives expert Gunpowder Joe to blow up the obstructions to the money. It's going to take a big showdown that takes place inside the cave to decide who will come out on top. Chubby Johnson is quite humorous in his portrayal of Gunpowder Joe, including his constantly calling Tonto, "Tom." Glenn Strange is "strangely" cast as Tom Casley. As any true Lone Ranger fan knows, Glenn played Butch Cavendish is four LR episodes. The Ranger was after him in the initial three series episodes which introduced the Ranger and established him. as a crime fighting hero. Glenn as Cavendish turned up again in a season two episode and Butch was killed off in that one. Glenn Strange was in eight Lone Ranger episodes altogether, playing a different character in each of the last four, but casting him as a member of his own gang was really "strange." (Pun intended). An enjoyable episode and Chubby Johnson dominates every scene he is in.
