Homesteader Mark Tanwick almost kills beloved horse Billy to keep him from covetous cattleman Cal Berman's clutches. Lone Ranger and Tonto's timely arrival spares him. He unburdens to the new friends: Mark's crop was by Cal's cattle despoiled, the mortgage bought by Cal, who's foreclosing today. The $1000, to be brought by bride-to-be Bertha, must've hit a snag. LR&T buy Billy for the amount needed, then reveal Bertha is with them, having been rescued from a stage holdup that left a man dead. Cal comes with the sheriff, LR's sleuthing identifies Cal as the murderer; Bertha corroborates.
