Wanted for the murder of a Texas Ranger, the notorious "Arizona Kid" sets a desperate pace along Powderhorn Trail and into the Badlands, beyond the jurisdiction of the Rangers. But the Lone Ranger, on his magnificent horse Silver, rides in tireless pursuit, for he has sworn, with the help of Tonto the loyal Indian, to bring the outlaw back to justice.
Knowing this, why does the Arizona Kid risk capture to free old Lem and Mary Loftus from the moneylender Gorman? Why does he ask his sweetheart Abby Westerly to extend hospitality to his sworn enemy? And why won't the young outlaw take advantage of a land slide to eliminate his pursuers?
The Lone Ranger stakes his very life on a hunch--and by swift action and fast thinking averts tragedy. A breathless tale of adventure is climaxed when the Arizona Kid reaches the end of the trail at last, aand the Lone Ranger again proves himself a friend to those in trouble.
