Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Lone Ranger in The Abduction of Tom Sawyer (1980)

 What the title of Dennis Marks' tale refers to isn't so much Mark Twain's iconic juvenile, but, rather, a manuscript for the book, stolen by a fortune hunting outlaw while Twain, nee Samuel Clemens, is back home in Hannibal, Missouri, for a sort of homecoming.

Enter The Lone Ranger (William Conrad).


The script also references a 2nd Twain novel, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.

Rating: A.
