Synopsis

In The White Leader, the Lone Ranger and his faithful companion Tonto ride into the troubled New Mexico territory, where a series of Apache raids have left the local military in chaos. The commanding officer at Fort Newton, Major Seldon, is frustrated by the Apaches' strategic maneuvers, which seem to be orchestrated by a mastermind. Lieutenant Perry, a young officer, suggests abandoning the fort to protect the settlers, a notion that shocks Major Seldon. The tension mounts as they realize that the Apaches are intercepting their communications and planning their attacks with alarming precision.
