The Long feud between the Carling and Greggson outfits was bound to lead to real trouble--and real trouble brought the Lone Ranger and Tonto, bent on clearing up the bad blood that led to gunplay. Old Tom Carling was fatally shot, and the same lurking peril dogged the steps of his son Dave.
Everyone believed it was old Flint Greggson, whose ranch hands included at one time or another every outlaw in that part of the country. Yet Greggson himself, with every one of his men fugitives from justice, was no outlaw. Why did he run an "outlaw ranch"? Who was stealthily laying in wait for young Dave Carling? These were the mysteries the Lone Ranger and Tonto set out to solve.
Thrills and drama and swift action crowd the pages of this absorbing story of courage and of the happiness the Lone Ranger and Tonto brought to young Dave and Betty Greggson and the whole county, freed at last from the menace of the "outlaw stronghold"
