 The speed of light has crawled up than the hotty-high old silver! The Lone Ranger! A derrient, resourceful, masked rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the Great Horse Silver! The Lone Ranger! One companion, Toto, had pitched a temporary camp in the hills near Eagle Pass. They decided to remain for a few days to make necessary repairs on worn riding gear. One afternoon, Toto, who had gone to town, hurriedly pulled rain at the camp. Horses! Horses! Horses! Indian smoke signals from hills. They hunt for you. Did you go find out what was wanted? Uh, maybe go meet Indians. Then say, Padre, what Lone Ranger come to mission? We'll see. Must be important. The camp is set out for the mission right away. Who will find the mission? Both my friends. We came as quickly as possible, Padre. I know your word, amigo. Come inside and while you rest, I'll tell you why I have sent for you. Very well. Come in. Come in, Toto. Sit down, amigos. Thank you, Padre. My friends, the gang of robbers is operating in the territory near Flint Hills. I see. That's not good. The gang is ruthless. It covers any trail that might be left, so that the sheriff hasn't been able to find them. They must have a clever leader. See, amigo, the man who leads them is very clever. You know who he is, Padre. See, a few days ago, I traveled to Flint Hills. On the way back, I found a man lying on the trail. He had been shot, left for dead. But as I bent over him, he opened his eyes. Did he speak? See, as I started to help him sit up, he spoke. It's no use, Padre. I'm done for. Perhaps I'll be able to get to the mission, my son. No. You're the gang of robbers. Easy. Easy, my son. I argued with Black, honey. Too many killers. Said I heard much of Black, honey. He's bloody smart. And plenty mean. Next week, he'll be shipping the gold. Hiding out over it. Then from a mass friend, tell him about this Black, honey. Black, honey is either the outlaw gang you mentioned. See, amigo. Black, honey's men are a menace to the West. That's right. Too bad the dying outlaw didn't have time to tell you where the gang is hiding. I know. I took his body to Flint Hills and reported the matter to the sheriff. The posse has been haunting the outlaws, but without success ever since. He spoke of a plan to rob a train carrying gold. See, amigo. I learned from the sheriff that such a shipment will be on the train leaving Flint Hill tomorrow at noon. He plans to put deputies on that train. I see. If Black, honey doesn't get wind of it, the gang might run into trouble. That's right. I knew he would haunted Black, honey in the Pekos territory, so when I found out he was down this way, I asked our Indian friends to send you a message. I'm glad you did, Padre. We'll set out in the morning and investigate the railroad right away for several miles out of Flint Hill. Maybe we're flying in place. We're getting planned to stop train. That's what I'm hoping, Tuttle. We wait here until morning, Kimus Ali. Well, we're right at the edge of town this afternoon. You may get some news there. They might come back here for the night, if Padre is willing. But of course, amigo. You're both most welcome to stay as long as you like. Thank you, Padre. We'll start the town now, Tuttle. I can expect you for several more friends. Thank you, God, Lord. I know it's going to be fun. One, two, three, four, five. I'm the outlaw leader, Black, honey. He looked up as one of his men after this cabin located in a secluded hollow. Howdy, kid. Any news in Flint Hill today? Yeah, plenty, honey. Yeah, what, for instance? We learned, of course, that a Padre who has a mission near here found Frank's body and took it to Flint Hill the other day. Yeah? What about it? Well, it seems Frank wasn't dead yet when he was found. He left the cat out of the bag about the plan to rob the train. How did you get that idea? Where to nominate the cafe, say so? He's been made a deputy, and he's going to ride that train. You mean the sheriff is putting deputies on that train? That's right. That makes our plan to grab that gold shipment and fall flat on its place. Well, maybe not, kid. Maybe not. Well, you mean maybe not. You mean to say you'd be low enough to try to go through it anyhow? Do you ever play fireman on a railroad engine, kid? Of course not. Well, it's always the first time. I don't sound like you're driving it. All right, just take it easy, and I'll tell you. I'm listening, but I'm not going to like it. Now, look, kid. You've been hitting me out of the trail with me long enough to know I always managed to outsmart any lawman. Sure, but this is different, honey. I don't hang it to come up against a bunch of armed deputies. We'll be ready and waiting for us to strike. Give me credit for having them brains, will you? You know that water tank alongside the tracks about a mile outside of Plenty Hill? Yeah. The train will stop, man. The fort pulls into town to take all the gold. There's dense woods and underbrush across the tracks from that water tank. When the train stops for water, we'll be waiting there out of sight. And then what? While a fireman and engineer are busy at the tank, we'll be able to get into the engine cab. We'll take them by surprise. Tie them up, toss them out in the brush. Can you run the engine? Yeah. That's a good idea. But someone might get why if we take the train into town. They'll smear our faces with black grease and take the chance. How do we get the gold? If a gang will go to the gorge beyond town and weaken the supports of the wooden trestle. They'll wait there till the train crashes into the gorge, then move in and take the gold. What about us? If we're running a train, how are we going to escape the wreck? We'll jump just before the train goes out of the trestle. Then we'll meet the gang when they come out of the gorge. Oh, honey, you sure got it all figured out. Yeah. That gold is as good as ours already. Come on, I'll go tell the others about it. All right. The moment riding that train is going to be in for an awful big surprise. The long ranger and Tahoe had ridden to the edge of town. The masked man waited in a secluded grove while Tahoe went into Flintale in search of news. About an hour later, Tahoe returned. What's going on, fella? Hold on. Is there anything that might be important, Tahoe? Ah. He has come on to pay a stay and make special deputy and say he'll help and plan to catch our gang tomorrow. I was afraid the news would leak out. Like honey, sure to hear that. That's right. Maybe I'll cross my Praterov train now. I wouldn't be so sure. Knowing like honey's reputation, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to outwit the sheriff's men and went after the gold anyway. It'd be taking plenty, big chance, Kim-a-sutty. Honey is willing for taking chances, Tahoe. He'll go out in the morning as we planned and check the right-of-way beyond Flintale. Isn't it? Get back to the mission, Tahoe. Easy, silly. Come on, honey. You can do it. Come on, honey. If we get back hunting this gang, if we happen to spot them... Now, hold on. I'm not sending you out to fight them outlaws. If you do spot them or anything on the tracks, ride back toward town and plan to train. Hey, what then? We'll know what they expect and we'll be ready for them. Well, yeah, but suppose they spot them and get away the best you can and head back here to town. Now, get going. If we get back hunting this gang, it'll be a big day for us. Ginger and Tahoe investigated the tracks for several miles, going as far as the Praterov, but seeing nothing suspicious. They ring to a halt. Come several miles, Tahoe. There's no sign of outlaws. Maybe that we've turned it out too early. The gang may have picked out a place to stage the robbery somewhere between here and town after we passed by. Now, what we do now came a- We'll turn and go back. Or maybe then decide not to hold up train because of guards riding in cars. Could be. But until that train is safe the honest way, we can't be sure Black Honey did change his mind. Let's turn back now. Meantime, the city of Jake with three other men rode along the railroad tracks for the track road. As they rode along the trail that followed the rim of a canyon for which the railroad went, they could look ahead for some distance. Suddenly, Jake pulled rain. Well, we stopped watching. From up here we can look far ahead along the track. I wonder if you see what I do. Hey, couple of hombres riding down along the right away. They're heading into the canyon. And they don't see us up here. Looks like one of them is nice, too. Sure does. I think, golly, maybe that's Black Honey himself. Yeah, it seems there's just two of them. We'll ride back till we get to the end of the canyon. We'll get to trap on them there from behind some boulders. Now, let's get moving. Quick, get it. Yes. Turn and talk, or roll through the canyon, moving at a slow pace. As they approach the end of the canyon, a warning shot came from behind some big boulders. Shot come from behind big boulders. Yes, it was a warning shot. I over our heads. All right, come on. Keep them both covered, man. We'll soon find out a bit, honey. Before we take them back to town, we'll just go take off and mask it here. And then we'll know for sure. The collision falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scene, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Talk about removing the mask. The Lone Ranger waited intensely. The four men sat in their shadows a few feet in front of the Lone Ranger and Toto. They were in a close group. A knowing glance passed between the masked man and his Indian friend. A glance that told Toto to be ready for a fast move. A great horse still over two tenths. As a certain signal with a knee warned the intelligence down. The enemy was to stand ready. Then as Jake started forward, the Lone Ranger shot it. Oh, Toto! Oh, Toto! This punch about squealing and bucking. Oh, Toto! They entered and Toto shot it away. Then Toto circled away from the railroad. Knowing that the four men would trail them, kept riding in a fast gallop for some time. Finally, after using clever means to control their followers off their trail, the two men pulled to a stop. Pull to a hold! Think we're saving up now, Toto. We've lost considerable time. We're on the opposite side of town. That's right. No, came a copy. There came now. Yeah, it's just us leaving the water tank. We're heading for town. We're right over there in the tracks. Toto, there must have been an enemy. Reaching the town, he could see the tanks up ahead and started riding along the right-of-way. Only a mile to town from that tank. The train may be there by now, taking over the gold ship. Ah! You're right along behind the tank with mask on, Toto. Maybe somebody shoot to take over the humors to fix the disguise. A few minutes later, they reached the water tank and stopped where the water was still gripping from the big hole. The Lone Ranger removed his mask and changed his appearance with disguise materials. Toto watched critically, then nodded. Oh, that's pretty good. Yeah. There, I should do it. Hey! I'm gonna brush just across the tracks. Come on. There you go. See? Wait, there's not. Who did this? Who are you? There. He told us, I'm the engineer from the tank. He's the fireman. They took us by surprise and softest and tied us up. Hardie, the other ass law took your place. That's right, mister. I heard him talking over plans to let the train. Hardie and gang is waiting in the gorge on the other side of town. Yeah. They're waiting to test us to watch. Hardie's gonna jump from the engine with the other outlaws. They approach the test. And the test will give away when the train gets on it. And the train will crash into the gorge. We're losing time. It isn't far to town. You men will have to walk there. Come on, Toto. Do I get our horses from across the tracks and follow the train? He and Kit sat on the small seats in the engine cab and looked back on the platform where the express was being loaded. They had picked their faces with black grease and no one had questioned their identity. Hardie spoke. Ha ha ha ha ha. There they put the gold ship in the express gun. Hello, sir. There's a share of this man-gain board, too. Like sheep drawn a sword. Hey, the conductor's giving me go-ahead signals. Well, we won't disappoint him. Here we go. And in the gorge, the rest of Black Hardie was busy weakening the hymn under the structure of a wooden press road. Finally, their work was finished. And the outlaw, Hardie, had put in charge. Stood with the others, looking at the damage they had done. Well, Frank, that ought to do it, don't you think? Yeah, those big supports that I saw them almost through when the braces had been weakened. They had no life, and you ought to be a sight when that train crashes. What do you think, Buck? I don't know. You can't count on these trains running right on time. Sometimes they're late as much as half-hour or more. But in spite of that, we'll get ready right now. Frank, you get one of the boys and stay near the horses so they don't get panicky when the crows come. Oh, all right. You won't have to worry about the horses. Mike and I will look after them so they'll be ready when a creek gets away. Good. Black Hardie and Kit will meet us as soon as we get the gold, and then we'll head for safety. This track will keep everybody from town busy for quite some time, so they won't be missing that gold shipment for quite a while. They'll never get away when the crows just flan, Buck. Well, be a fool as soon as somebody finds the engineer and fireman tied up where Black Hardie and Kit are going to leave them. They'll get wise, but we'll be far away by that time. All right. Let's get moving. Now's the place where we're going to wait until it happens. Come on, everybody. Frank was gaining momentum after leading town as a long-range run, Tuttle, who asked her who to avoid the crows at the station, took back to the right of way and raced alongside of the tracks after the speeding train. We have to make a tunnel. Come on, Peter. They were followed by the faithful scouts, responded to the urging of their masters and increased their speed, rapidly closing the gap between the rear of the frame and themselves. At the same time, my guard on the rear platform called the cellar box and pointed back. Look, Sheriff. Two armors take the train. Here is a part of the outlaw game. Two men could do with any harm. Anyway, why would they run after it's openly right there? Yeah, I told them they'd have. No. Keep them done handy. We'll see what they're up to. Move! They're moving up on the train. Yeah, they'll be alongside the platform here in a few seconds. I'm putting them on! One Ranger moves up alongside the rear platform. That is for Sheriff. We've got his hand. One Ranger runs through the platform. There he comes. Black car and one of his men are running the train. It's planned to wreck it at the trestle. Dog, dog! I'm going over the top of the car. All right. Now go to the train to the front end. I'll pick up some of the others on the way through the cars. Five thunder, if what you say is true, we won't have a chance. Let me hear that. You're climbed to the top of the clean cars and shot him along the narrow car roof. You'll just proceed to the train with decreasing and you the trestle with less than a mile ahead. On the report given by the engineer and fireman, when he himself was found near the water tank, the manager knew the outlaws in the engine planned to jump before reaching the weakened trestle. Oh, no. For the field to jump, I'm going to hurry. Finally, after making this way over the car top, the low ranger approached the tender where the wood for the engine was stacked. The people on the tip sitting on the cab seats and leaning on the cab windows wanted to get closer to avoid the danger of a quick move by either of the outlaws. Moving cautiously, he started over the logs towards the engine. When the logs began to roll, when the low ranger turned on the cab, turning with a gun in his hand, once again, the masked man's gun barked. Oh, well, stop this train. Sheriff and his men hurried to the engine. The low ranger quickly explained the situation. Then the Sheriff spoke. Finally, it's them the missing who saved us from the wreck. They talked like hearted one of his men. The rest are in the gourd. Well, we'll get them there. We got plenty, man. It isn't part of the gourd. That's right. There's far too groups and go on foot. We ought to be able to flatten if we move in on them from each end. The low ranger and Toto who had caught up with the train let one group while the Sheriff led the other. A signal was agreed upon and the group separated, going to each end of the gorge. We're taken by the planters and we come back home for it. The low ranger and Toto rode back to the train. Then Toto started for town with Silver and Scout while the low ranger moved the train slowly to the edge of the trekkle. Black harmony and his men were put aboard under guard. Then the low ranger backed the train to the town of downhill. When he stepped on the low ranger, Toto was waiting with the horses. By thunder if you hadn't come along, mister, maybe none of us would be alive. The black honey gang would have had that ocean. I'm glad we discovered the harness time and time. My friend was waiting for me. Honey ocean. Honey ocean. Thanks a lot. There's been a man who went with me to a couple of those autos before the train left town. We'd been trailing but we'd lost no, mister. I'm the engineer of this train. That's who finally tricked me in the fireman. It was that I know. I know. He did plenty like I just said. Yeah, but the two outlaws we were trailing must have got away. They were riding a horse carrying on a paint. He was on a paint. A mask man. Hold on. Look over there. Hey, sure. That's them. You see the man with onions out. What? The Indians told me who the mask don't bring if you want to know. Well, don't stand there with your mouth hanging open and nothing coming out. Sneak up. Who is he? He's the lone ranger. The lone ranger incorporated created by George W. Trenville produced by Trenville Campbell Enterprises directed by Charles D. Livingston and edited by Fran Stryker.
