but..but...does he get away??

I just bought a 3 episode collection of the old Lone Ranger TV show. Episode 2 ended in a cliffhanger and episode 3 was from a completely different season! (I can tell because episode 2 was black and white and episode 3 was in color.) Why on Earth would someone do that??

Ah well, for three episodes for only 89 cents. I suppose I shouldn't look a silver white gift horse in the mouth.
