Synopsis: The legend of the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) as told by an aged Tonto (Johnny Depp).

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): The Lone Ranger and Tonto visit a brothel and seek information from the Madam, Red Harrington (Helena Bonham Carter). Tonto sniffs the air and asks if she has a cat. She tells him she did and that she thought it would be an improvement over the last man in her life. Later Tonto puts a bird cage over his head and says it is because of his “fear of cat.” When the pair try to escape from an angry mob, the Lone Ranger is going down the back stairs when he hears a small meow. He turns to see a small kitten on the stairs.

The mob is asking where The Lone Ranger and Tonto are and Red Harrington says she doesn’t know what they mean. Suddenly the Masked Man re-enters with the kitten, saying, “Ma’am, I believe I’ve located your . . . ” He sees the mob and stops.
