A scheming rancher and his men are plotting to seize a young girl's land, which unknown to her is rich in gold. Lone Ranger and Tonto hire two crack gunmen to help the girl, but by a cunning trick the bandits imprison them all in a wooden hut and set fire to it. While flames leap up the walls, Lone Ranger and Tonto struggle to escape from the ropes that hold them.

'The Duke in Darkness'
Patrick Hamilton, the author of such plays as Rope, Gaslight, and The Man Upstairs, is a master of the art of creating suspense.
In The Duke in Darkness, written in 1942, he has again succeeded in building up an exciting atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety. It is set during the time of the religious wars in France. The Duke of Laterraine and his companion, Gribaud, have been imprisoned for fifteen years by their rival, the Duke of Lamorre, in the tower-top chamber of a castle. The problem is one of escape. Will the Duke and his friend regain their freedom unmutilated and sane? Or will they remain the victims, dead or alive, of their gloating captor?
