Notes
- In all of their radio and television adventures, the Lone Ranger and Tonto had never killed anyone. This film, the final appearance for Moore and Silverheels, appears to change that. Two bad guys definitely seem to meet their demise at the hands of the heroes. Tonto hurls a knife at one villain, while the Ranger shoots another enemy off of a nearby roof. Bodies are not seen, so it is possible the villains survived, but it certainly seems they have been killed.
