Jay Silverheels, a member of the Mohawk Aboriginal people in Canada, played the Lone Ranger's Indian companion Tonto.

Tonto tends to the survivor's health and complies with his wish to make him a mask from his brother's clothes and to create an empty sixth grave to appear that he is dead.

A silver mine in the second episode supplies The Lone Ranger with the funds required to finance his wandering lifestyle and the raw material for his signature bullets.

Also in Season One, Episode Two, The Lone Ranger and Tonto come upon a prone white horse severely injured by an American Bison.

At the end of most episodes, after The Lone Ranger and Tonto leave, someone asks the sheriff or other person of authority who the masked man was.

[7][8] When it came time to produce another batch of 52 episodes, there is speculation of a wage dispute with Clayton Moore (although he stated in his autobiography I Was That Masked Man that he never really knew exactly why he was dismissed), and John Hart was hired to play the role of the Lone Ranger.

[10][11] At the end of the fifth year of the television series, Trendle sold the Lone Ranger rights to Jack Wrather, who bought them on August 3, 1954.

The cast included former child actress Bonita Granville, who had married Wrather after his divorce from a daughter of former Texas Governor W. Lee O'Daniel.

In 2003, Rhino Retro Vision, working with Classic Media, released a box set of the first 19 episodes of the 5th season, in color as originally filmed.

On March 31, 2009, Mill Creek Entertainment released the box set Gun Justice featuring The Lone Ranger with other Westerns, including Annie Oakley, The Adventures of Kit Carson, The Cisco Kid, Cowboy G-Men, Judge Roy Bean, The Gabby Hayes Show, and The Roy Rogers Show.
