The Lone Ranger quickly identifies him as 'click' Philiips, the fastest Morse code operator in the area and known member of Juan Branco's gang. They believe 'click' was sending a message when he fell and died. The Ranger believes the gang is going to attack an expected stage coach full of gold. Branco is successful and steals the gold; he becomes enamored with the female passenger and gives her a distinctive ring. The Ranger intercepts the escaping coach. The passenger gives the Ranger the ring, he sees it as a way to trap Branco. Dan is sent back to camp, but is captured by Branco. The Lone Ranger and Tonto find Dan's tracks and follows them to Branco's hide out. He then sends Tonto back to town for reinforcements. The sheriff arrives with reinforcements and the gang is arrested. Written by glen_chapman See less
