This episode was first aired in 1953. The Midnight Rider wore a similar outfit to that of Zorro, but that episode preceded Disney's Zorro TV Series (1957-1959) by about 4 years.
Wish this Midnight Rider was a beautiful woman in cowboy drag; so sassy & foxy when they do . Best example : Jane Russell as " Mike " , leader of the torch Gang from " Son of Paleface " movie 1952. Jane has a much tighter version of William Boyd's Hopalong Cassidy cowboy outfit; in fact it couldn't be any tighter ! Jane is stunning in " drag " !
I remember when those Lone Ranger episodes were originally shown, there was a portion of the opening that has been cut from them for syndication: “With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early West. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone Ranger rides again!” Watching The Lone Ranger transports me back to my childhood in the 1950s, makes me feel young again!
0:34 - “For several weeks, a mysterious and lone outlaw had operated in the shield’s River Valley, concentrating his attacks on one victim: the large and powerful Esmeralda Mining Company. The outlaw’s dramatic disguise is a black cape, mask and hat had earned him the name: THE MIDNIGHT RIDER.”
@brian bowes I agree with you. Clayton Moore will always be THE Lone Ranger but had Clayton Moore never accepted the role in the first place, someone else would've been THE Lone Ranger and hating John Hart just because he decided to take the job that was offered him is simply unjustifiably
I always learn something from the Long Ranger shows the good and the bad people nowadays it's gotten worse for us to live in the peace and blessing of us all no crimes will that ever be done here on this planet earth
Really? Because according to the Bible the world was the worst back then before and after the flood , so which one is it. Bad now or bad then or just the same but you got more ways to get to information.
While John Hart was playing The Lone Ranger, the producers wouldn’t allow Clayton Moore to make personal appearances wearing the mask, but I notice it was still Moore in the episode openings riding Silver. So I guess it was okay for them to use Moore’s image at the beginning of those episodes, but he couldn’t make appearances as The Lone Ranger. What’s fair about that?
It's not about fair , it's about them owning the rights to the image of the Lone Ranger, remember the Lone Ranger is not real but a character owned by a company.
@@summergoldenWell, duh, I realize The Lone Ranger isn’t real. I don’t have to “remember” that. I’m not stupid. And yes, I know that they owned the rights to the character’s image, but they DIDN’T own Clayton Moore’s image, yet there he was as the Lone Ranger at the beginning of ALL the TV episodes, even in the ones that starred John Hart. So tell me, what’s fair about that?
Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin' And I'm bound to keep on ridin' And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing And the road goes on forever And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I have wondered if the Midnight Rider character in this episode was the inspiration for the name of Greg Allman’s song “Midnight Rider”. I have never read that it was, but I just wondered.
Yet another different Scout, with black tipped tail and different markings, @17:33. Too expensive to transport horses between studio sets to locations, I guess.
02:55 "Just a flesh wound...in fleshy part of heart." (sorry, stole that line from Milton Berle in F-Troop...imagine someone stealing a joke from Berle. Now that is irony!)
Apparently, lots of other people thought the same thing. Clayton Moore was fired, he claimed he didn’t know the reason why, but the producers mistakenly believed the Lone Ranger mask was the real star. John Hart did okay, but evidently, people just didn’t accept him as The Lone Ranger. The producers couldn’t get Clayton Moore to come back fast enough, and he was given a considerable pay increase. Obviously the mask alone didn’t make the character.
The Lone Ranger + Zorro = Midnight Rider. I love this episode
Darryl Hickman looks just like his brother Doobie Gillis! Er… Dwayne Hickman. 😮😮😮😅😅😅😊😊😊
Yep! They were twins, I believe.
I have been watching these in order and this is the first one (I think) where nobody said "Lone Ranger" as the final dialogue.

Lone Ranger crossed with Zorro = Midnight Rider.
I am liking this sheriff a lot.
I agree Hart's no Clayton Moore, but I think he does well enough in the role
The Jedi Archives I prefer Johns style. He is a better actor. Clayton was first and so people think that is better. Not so
@@private15, I don’t see that John Hart was a better actor. He seemed wooden to me.
I like his disguise characters better than CM. I think CM was a little over the top when he was in disguise.
John Hart was the better horse rider.
I think that John Hart is the best Lone Ranger and apart from that, I like how he spins his gun when holstering it.
"I want Bob Jessup brought in then hold him for questioning...right after the hanging."
Thank you FOR SHARING

Am afraid Hart looks like an imposter..there is only one Lone Ranger...Clayton Moore
True, but he's still a good actor. He was great as Hawkeye, he was just too overshadowed by Clayton Moore's amazing portrayal of the Lone Ranger
@brian bowes I agree with you. Clayton Moore will always be THE Lone Ranger but had Clayton Moore never accepted the role in the first place, someone else would've been THE Lone Ranger and hating John Hart just because he decided to take the job that was offered him is simply unjustifiably
@brian bowes Exactly what I was saying
John is a better actor. Moore was just first. Not better.
@@private15, no, I wouldn’t say John Hart was a better actor. Not sure where you get that idea from. Hart was wooden compared to Clayton Moore.
I think this episode is the first time that The Lone Ranger uses a pair of binoculars.
I always learn something from the Long Ranger shows the good and the bad people nowadays it's gotten worse for us to live in the peace and blessing of us all no crimes will that ever be done here on this planet earth

And I always thought The Midnight Rider thing was originated by The Allman Brothers band. This was a couple of decades before!
The Midnight rider = Zorro. lol

Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin'
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Now that's a great sheriff to say that you have to tell the midnight rider to get low because he knew who the bad was
I have wondered if the Midnight Rider character in this episode was the inspiration for the name of Greg Allman’s song “Midnight Rider”. I have never read that it was, but I just wondered.
WHAT!
No, "he's the Lone Ranger!?" We got swerved!
Ever notice it’s seven shots from a six gun at the beginning?
Isn't that pretty much ALL Hollywood movies? 😜
21:57 Wait a minute, who WAS that masked man?!
