Rango is an inept, bumbling
Texas Ranger in the
Old West who has been assigned to the supply room at the quietest post the Rangers have, Deep Wells Ranger Station, so as to keep him from creating unnecessary trouble. He seems to bring his own trouble with him, however, as after his arrival, crime suddenly returns to the Deep Wells area, a place that had seen very little of it during the previous 20 years. Rango's assistant in the supply room is Pink Cloud, an overly assimilated
American Indian who is very fond of the ways of the
white people and prefers reading a book in a comfortable bed to living the traditional life of a
Plains Indian. Pink Cloud's command of the English language is generally better than those of the white people around him; for example, in one episode, he says, "Rango say him return when sun high over teepee. By that, I presume he meant that he would be back by noon." Also at the Deep Wells Ranger Station is Captain Horton, Rango's long-suffering company commander. Horton wants to transfer Rango out of Deep Wells, but cannot because Rango's father is the head of the Texas Rangers. ==Cast==
