Narrator: This is silver mining country. Or rather, it was once. Now, almost all its mines are closed down, their riches exhausted. There's a theory, however, that where silver has been, silver must be. And among those who hold this theory are Dick and Bob Larrabee, brothers who have come all the way from the East to test it, and hope it will prove to be right. Though what Hardrock Jones and Rusty Bates, his partner of thirty years standing, are hoping for, is hard to say. Or if one could say, better left unsaid.

In fact The Lone Ranger and Tonto who come to return their errant donkey. Helpfully points out where there might be silver up high in the mountain.
Watching events unfold are Hardrock Jones and Rusty Bates. For thirty years there have been mining for silver without success.
These newbies take the Lone Ranger's advice and find silver. Much to the disgust of the two old timers.
Jones has a plan. File a claim for silver first and then frame the Larabee's for Rusty's mother. He then shoots Rusty dead.
Now the Lone Ranger needs to come to the rescue of the brothers from a charge of mother.
I liked how Jones and Bates just watched the two brothers for days on end looking for silver. They had nothing better to do.
I did not think much of the Sheriff who could not sniff out a rascal like Jones without the Lone Ranger's help.
