In this episode of Lassie, Clayton Moore is featured in one of his last filmed appearances as the masked rider of the plains (without Tonto).
The Peace Patrol was established in the late 1950's as a program to promote peace and civic duty amongst the youth of America. The Lone Ranger was the spokesman, who made appearances on this show and in D.C. with V.P. Richard Nixon ! In this episode, a contest regarding the Peace Patrol is won and Timmy gets to meet the Ranger and his horse Silver. Clayton Moore was the embodiment of the Lone Ranger and shows off his gun-twirling as well as delivering a strong moral message to the young (and young at heart !).
For fans of this more innocent time, this episode is a reminder of children's television with a clear message. Hi yo silver, awaaaaaay !
