 a fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust in the heart of Ohio Silver, the lone ranger. His faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the mashed rudder the planes fought crime and criminals throughout the early western United States. It was his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness, which brought law and order to the lawless frontier and made possible the winning of the West. No greater champion of justice can be found in the pages of history. 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 rides again. The walnut grove had gathered around young Hank Evans in front of the harness shop. The boy was standing beside a spirited Mustang. Every time the horse pawed the ground, Hank cringed with fear. The laughing crowd refused to let him leave, and before long he was on the verge of tears. Go on Hank, let's get right to critter. The best horse from this side of the paycard. Right in the car boy. Come on kids, climb the barn. You have to ride him. Let me be, please leave me be. But suddenly a buggy rounded the corner and headed down the main street toward the harness shop. Inside were a middle aged woman and a much older man. When the driver saw what was going on he cracked his whip, drove straight for the crowd and yelled at the top of his lungs. Get up there, get up there, run them loophers down. Come on mom, I can make you ride that horse, I'll bet you. Here, give me your hand. Climb up here beside me. It's time we was getting you home. I can't help it if I'm not scared of horses, can't I Pete? Is it my fault? Is it because I'm just a coward like they claim? Is it Pete? Is it? If I'd had the sense to be scared of horses when I was your age, I wouldn't be all crippled up like I am today. Oh now son, you forget all this. Of course you can't help it. We know that. Folks that would make fun of you on account of it ain't worth paying no attention to. Oh that make me so mad. Yeah, bum. They would tease me for most an hour. They wouldn't let me go. Now son, just don't think of it no more. Put it right out of your mind. Gee ma, I try to but try hard. Uh huh. But sometimes, sometimes I... Yes son. Ma. Sometimes I think I'd rather be dead. Oh there, there now. What a silly way to talk. Pete, you better go on then. Yeah, bum. Get up there. Get up. Get up. Don't blast it. Why can't I be laying this foot for them? Get up. Almost the same moment, many miles distant from Walnut Grove, the gang of outlaws were spurring their mounts after an Indian mounted upon a powerful paint horse. Get up man. Come on. Get up. Get up. Come on. Get up. A well and desolate country scarred by a jumble of ridges and rock wall canyons. No trail had ever marked this wilderness, but the Indians seemed to know exactly where he was going. He headed for a canyon whose entrance was smaller than most, and as the outlaw leader guessed his purpose, he shouted to his men, Boys, we've got him. That's a fine canyon he's riding for. Now he can't get away from us. He's trying to hold us off there. We'll ride him down. Throw some more lead at the farmers. I think I'll win him. He's still going. Come on, fellas. Get up there. What's the matter? Look up above there. This is the trap, I tell you. Look at that mask man way up there. A little ranger. Then that must have been tunnel we was chasing. I don't like the looks of this. Neither do I. Back, fellas. Swing your horses around. Head back. Hurry. Come on. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. Get up there. You got a side there with no way of getting out. They had to had the whole bunch of us. The son had a stock of mass fellow just right so I could see him out. They had been sitting in jail and sat at 24 hours. Boys were leaving this district and were leaving Prado. Alright, come on. Get up there. Get up there. When you saw the outlaws turn and ran away, the lone ranger descended to the floor of the canyon where his great horse Silver was waiting. He mounted in road for nearly a mile until he reached a brush-covered hillside secret exit by which Tonto had planned to escape from the canyon. Then a few minutes later he was on it. They saw me. They got away. The one thing I feared that led was the only place in which I could let the fuse but it didn't offer good cover. Tonto know once in there wouldn't have mattered if they had discovered this exit. One of us could easily have kept them prisoner. I think Tonto you're wounded. Hit not bad. Here get down let me have a look at that we're right catch a mouthful not bad get down. Not bad that was bad enough so that you won't write again for a couple of days on me all right very old friend but you're not you couldn't last a dozen miles in the saddle in this condition but I'll go make camp right here I'll get way let them I can always pick up the trail again sooner or later where would I find another friend as loyal as you chemo subbie we take no chances we do no writing until you're well Coler and his outlaw gang did not stay in the district each day found them farther from the scene of their narrow escape until at last they arrived in the open cattle country and well what are we going to do now this is bad country first to dog on much lower on I say we ought to cut south and head for the border to we know for sure the loan rangers give up that's where you're wrong that mask fell into law Rio don't mean nothing to him you just assume crossover to get us is not but on the other side of the border he couldn't call on the law to help if that arm break can't get somebody to help him he does without it you mean you'd be scared of just him and the Redskins sometimes it pays to be scared it was just the two of them back there in the hills with it yeah but it doesn't of us if you hadn't seen the mask fell in time we'd have been caught just the same that's just one of his tricks besides which the black couple euros over south when the mask man or pards we'll do better here there's no place to hide out now well is there a bull that boys if you was the mask man would you figure fellas like us would choose a district like this to hide out in well of course you wouldn't you look for us to head for the border like Joe just suggested don't just save you what you're getting at you don't know a lot tell you when you want to make a good hideout head for the last place anybody'd expect outlaws to go like he just so we're here but if you figure I feel safe on account of it your local it had the rest of it yet no we ain't only stopping here in a cattle country but we're going to put up all snug and comfortable ranch house I know of you mean you got friends here well then how much house I'm thinking of is a place where there's just a kid is mana and a handyman that stays with them all year round what is ball roundups finish they kept on a crew get in but 15 to 16 and handyman is so old and crippled up he couldn't make trouble for a stove in cat that's where we're going right and just take over right again but I don't look for us there huh come on let's get there and make ourselves at home get a bit Mrs. Evans stood in the open doorway of her kitchen and called her son and old Pete Pete Hank what do you want my stuff was ready come and get it here that Pete come on you betcha what were you two looking at we saw some horsemen horsemen a whole bunch of them and don't reckon they're stopping here though likely what is it had been laid off from what one of them outfits over north ma'am what do you got cooking smells so good just to do Pete you and Hank sit down I'll fill your plate go ahead. I'm so hungry I could say them follows a stop and look yeah my if they want to get on the ride on you can be expected to feed all them ma'am they're coming to the back door if you can't care Hank I'll see what they want. I'm going to do it. Get back inside Mr. Paul you the glory and you just stay where you are what's the matter is the kid you mentioned bull and you're going back and take the horses somewhere where they can't be seen as a door right. Hold up not exactly that man just come to visit for a while no get out of here you can't get. You'll get the same I'll show you the old Gloves gun boys get back. Get back get out leave me alone now. Give me that. Shut up shut up all of you now then. We're here we're staying here and while we stay you'll take our orders recollect that and maybe you won't get hurt. The curtain falls on the first act of our long range of story before the next exciting scenes please permit us to pause for just a few moments how to continue our story several days passed after the encounter with bull colors gang before taught I was able to ride again and when the Lone Ranger and the Indian left their camp in the hills they found the outlaws trail hard to follow when they reached the cattle country they lost it completely and this district is too well traveled on us we have a stroke of luck we won't pick up the sun until they're out of it again where you can go to the border perhaps oh at least that's the logical place for them to head with bull leading them however it's difficult to tell he shrewd that's why he's dodged the law all these years he never does what anyone expects not right for all we know they may have doubled back and be riding for the hills we left may have broken up and scattered making their way across country posing as cowboys meeting again somewhere we don't know about they may have done none of those things they might have stayed right in this neighborhood it's possible that bull is friends among the ranchers who'd hide them out then then get away no they won't escape how fine I'm trying everything we can think of it one thing fails we'll eliminate that and go on to another we'll catch up to them again if it takes us the next 12 months we decided to go after them to the result we'd never stop until they were safely behind bars and we won't what we do now the only thing we can do what that we couldn't distinguish the trail here so there's no use looking for it can only hope they stayed together and that someone saw them which means we'll have to make inquiries at each ranch as we come to it that's not hard not hard to me but it'll take time so the faster we get about it the better there's a ranch ahead of us come we'll see what they have to tell us meanwhile the outlaws were making themselves thoroughly at home in the Evans ranch house either Hank or his mother nor Pete were permitted to leave the place alone a member of the gang was unknown to the law went to town and supplies were needed and passerby's were turned away in a manner that did not arouse their suspicions the outlaws enjoyed themselves but then on the other hand young Hank was very desperate careful son stand away from the stove while listen yes I made up my mind to something while when it comes dark I'm going to make a break for it I want to get to town some home but why if I don't you've been told enough not to try scheming things without knowing it don't you come with me ma'am you tend to your cooking and don't get full notions trying to trick me I'll be the worst for you please let me go you're hurting me you skunk so pay for that mister take this old fool outside make him chop some kindling sick of hearing them hollering all the time the kindling's been chopped he done it a full break and bust him one of the opens that yappy is again sure and ma'am you hustle up with that grub savvy it's all around any longer and your kid will get another lamp basting like you got yesterday all come quick look up the trailer the mask man the mask man and Tondo well I'll be coming here you know what we are they come in after they are it now hold it for us wait by thunder they don't know where here they can't look what are they heading here ain't they just would they be riding up plain sight like that if they suspicion we was anywhere's around now they wouldn't look at him not even trying to hide themselves my golly bull you're right I bet I'm right but Joe at all of you get your irons ready get back from the windows this is just a chance we've been waiting for you can't come here you ain't gonna shoot them fellas are you you ain't are you to you they won't have a chance your bright kid a gun right they won't have a chance unless you do like I tell you you won't need it what are you your answer in the door whatever they want you ask them to step in and keep this in mind one peep body at a warm and you'll be the first to get blasted I get over by the door and wait for him to knock all right boys stand ready we'll see what we can learn here we haven't had much luck so far I haven't seen a sign of them maybe then come this way perhaps wait what matter I thought I saw someone watching us from the window and roll back quickly I thought you feel something strange about this place me no savvy maybe we'd be wiser to have a look around first before we announce ourselves I nonsense most likely just my imagination anyway we're here whoever's inside knows it come they're in there and we have to keep me go man never got out I thought they was right behind you but they wasn't look there's one I was seen that the lone ranger and tanto had found shelter the outlaws stopped firing and took stock of the situation why didn't you get that kid when he yelled out I never figured he did I didn't need to get away from us where's Pete this mark there they are there in the kitchen behind the stove I've seen him trying to follow the kid and I had them all good thing you use your head that much anyhow we'll have to use them to get out of here using for hostages dirt go bring them in here sure that was a mask man and she knew when they started past the door you almost got go ahead get them too and get winged on all you get it's good boy and he was trying to reach the kitchen we have to pass by that door we can't close it on the car it opens the wrong way it opens outwards we can't reach it if we don't get Pete and the kids mom were trapped you know then we're trapped oh we ain't hmm just wait a little dark then we can grab him without being seen the lone ranger but also thought of that possibility thank you come here but keep out of sight what is it thank you know your mother and Pete are still inside you know that we can keep bull from reaching them as long as it stays light enough to see but in just a couple of hours you'll be getting dark yes then you'll have to ride to town and find the sheriff you'll just have time I can't but neither can tando be the one of us leaves it'll give those fellas a chance to escape tando has to watch that side of the house while I watch this thank you have to go take tato's mom no I I can't do that don't ask me I just can't matter why I just can't that's all don't ask me to please don't I don't understand I'm just a yellow coward what's this I'm a scared of horses that's what I've tried and tried and I just can't do it but why Hank a boy like you brought up in a ranch where there are horses I I seen a wild horse kill my brother oh and and after that one through me and I was almost killed and that explains it when when I when I try to ride them I just get all twisted up inside I just can't at this time you must know no no I just here come along we'll get back out of sight this will do yes no I just can't please no I could go I would but you know that I can't more depends on this in the capture those outlaws your mother's freedom depends upon it those fellas escape take her with them it'll be days before she's free again please please no I want to but I can't get going just approached and slowly deepened all the while the outlaws have been waiting the first opportunity to slip past the open door the kitchen where Pete and Mrs. Evans cowered behind the protection of the iron stove several attempts have been made that abruptly ended when the lone rangers bullets sent the outlaws scurrying for cover but finally hold it fellas listen we can't get past that door now we never can this darkness is ever gonna get we've got to make it yeah they're like I tell you how's that this time I'm gonna try it as soon as I start you fellas get
