An old prospector named Hamlet Jones always carries a wooden chest with him. Criminals murder Hamlet to steal the chest, believing it is filled with gold.

No one believes twelve-year-old Johnnie Williams, the only witness to a cold-blooded murder, until the Lone Ranger validates his story by exposing the killers.

The Lone Ranger finds a young geologist badly beaten by outlaws and discovers a plan to defraud the owners of oil-rich land.
