The real killer, Butch Cavendish, has been wounded by Blaine, and has had his men kidnap the town doctor to heal the outlaw. The sherrif and The Ranger track down the gang, and a fight ensues. The sherrif has them rounded up and the Lone Ranger slips away (also for the first time). But just then, the rest of the Cavendish gang ride in, getting the drop on the sherrif and the doctor, and taking them away. The Lone Ranger sees this and chases after the villian with a hearty "Hi-Ho Silver Away!"

Once Cavendish is locked up, the Lone Ranger and Tonto ride away before they can be thanked. And the outlaw himself becomes the first of 219 people to ask, "Who was that masked man?"
