When the western United States was first opened to settlers the masked rider of the plains fought crime and criminals throughout the new territory. The local sheriff gave him very little help but he did have one trusted friend, the Indian scout Tonto. Tonto was only second to the Lone Ranger in courage and daring and the story of his devotion and loyalty have been told and retold until the faithful Indian has become the symbol of true friendship.
