A rider warns John Tane, schoolteacher (and JT's secret identity) that his sheriff father is cornered by the Pincers Gang in town. Can he contact Johnny Thunder? He whistles his horse, Black Lightning, but the horse shies and runs! Why? Gang members come from the woods - and the horse spotted them. John Tane runs into the school house, changes to JT, dives off the roof, and nails the crooks. He herds them to town - and Black Lightning leaps over the enemy to reach the embattled sheriff! Guns blaze and the gang is rounded up. But Sheriff Tane wishes his son were more like JT...
