I'll follow the outlaw Leaving Tutto the lone Ranger headed after the retreating gunman one of whom was riding a short distance behind the other two In spite of the bullets fired by the outlaw the lone Ranger continued on without shooting his own guns He wanted to take the man alive The lone Ranger realized the outlaws gun was empty so he decided to close in faster The mighty stallion gradually closed the gap between the two riders the fleeing gunman glanced back at his pursuer as if in fear Then he did something totally unexpected The lone Ranger with gun ready look puzzled as he pulled silver to a stop Reason don't move You got the drop on me remove that bandana from your face sure if you say so Yeah, you're guts Cooper What is Boston for murder I thought you might recognize me mister you're the leader of the gang is operating in this territory Yeah, and I know who you are And I know why you came to this territory, so I decided to surprise you I Got tipped off you and your Indian friend were riding along the trail Then I pulled a trick that worked out just as I figured it would what do you mean? Mr. I have men planted among the boulders all around here right now. They could fill you with bullets if I gave the signal All right men close in now mister drop those guns. You won't be needing them anymore drop them I'll see to it. They're well taken care of always wonder don't guns like these Easy boy All right men, we'll take your smash down break our hideout I figure he'll be in for another surprise when he sees his Indian friend there as a prisoner to My friend Toto followed the stage. Yeah, but a couple of my men are honored. It belongs to me belongs to you Friend of mine bought it at auction a few weeks ago when the corpus Christi line went out of business I figured I'd have use for it Let's get going you first mister Come on sir That evening the marshal from San Antonio arrived at the sheriff's office in New Braunfels and was surprised to learn the Lone Ranger and Toto hadn't arrived Meanwhile in a cabin at the outlaws hideout camp the Lone Ranger and Toto bound hand and foot Lay on cots waiting for what might happen the Lone Rangers still wore a disguise under his mask Which so far Gus Cooper hadn't removed The outlaw leader stood looking down at his two prisoners gloatingly as he spoke to one of his men. There they are same The two home braids most outlaws are afraid You sure tricked them Gus. Oh Aren't you gonna take off that mask and see what he looks like? Yeah, I've been waiting to do just that Take it off right now Now we'll get a good look at your face, Mr. That's what you look like. What did you expect Cooper? I didn't expect to see the skyed up looking mug I'm seeing right now You look better to me with a mask on there Word if you like Thanks, what are you gonna do with them? Just I have plans made I want everybody to know Gus Cooper's plenty smart smarter than the Lone Ranger Sure, you know ace duke and the gambler at the cafe is spying for us Well ace found out a big mining company payroll is leaving the bank tomorrow a buckboard The sheriff and a deputy are gonna go along his guards. I think I'm lifting that payroll, huh? Yeah, but what about these two hombres? I'll tell you about that We'll use the old stage coach and head toward town. So it's to meet the buckboard with a payroll To of our men will be on the boot I'll be riding in the coach with a masked man in Indian ace is coming out to follow the stage with arrestee So you think you've figured out a very ingenious plan Cooper sure like I said, I'm smart mister We'll get rid of the sheriff and the deputy Then with these guns of yours, I'll plug you and the Indian Load the four bodies out of the buckboard and send the driver back to town with them And just think of the excitement when people realize what happened by Jiminy Gus From then on you practically run things in this territory, right? I'll make the name Gus Cooper one that even the law will be afraid of Same early in the morning I want you to ride to the cafe and see ace to make sure nothing's been changed and you and him come back here to join us All right. Oh see give me a gun will you I left mine in town to have the trigger fixed here So one of these I took from the mask man, but be sure I get it back These two guns are gonna be mine for key Oh Early the following morning the outlaw Sam wearing one of the Lone Rangers special guns went to town to the cafe to see the gambler ace At one of the tables the marshal and the sheriff were eating an early breakfast The marshal still concerned about the masked man and Indian finally remarked Sure, if I still don't serve you but the Lone Ranger in town to Seems to me if they couldn't get here and they would have said word well so far We haven't found anyone who knows anything about them and I figure I might start back over the transship She's here who's that ombre you just came in Seen him around town now, man Cowpoke from something nearby ranch maybe and why that gun is weird No couple could own a gun like that Fancy looking, but that's a very special gun chef I'm sitting there only to like it in the west. What do you get Matt? The two guns I mentioned are carried by the Lone Ranger Yeah Right You that she is he just got that gun and convinced to belong to the mask man I'll be back in a minute. Maybe I can find out what he says to the man He came to see well marshal slowly sought her to the doorway leading into the gaming room He leaned against the door jam out of sight and strained to hear what was being said just beyond the doorway To the edge of town Be a lot of exciting here in town later today See you later. Yeah, I'd better get back to this shit Yeah, something's in the wind Get you mean to get it quickly then we'll follow that ombre in his friend when they ride from town. Yeah, do it marshal I Have to ride guard with a deputy and take a payroll with a man Then get some in the ride with me if something isn't done I feel sure the Lone Ranger and his Indian friend to be done for The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments Jenny is 10 and is she good?

I'll hop over there turn my back and get it what you do with the bottle I can smash it against the stone fireplace And perhaps I can manage to use a piece to cut the ropes and bind your wrists It's worth a try the Lone Ranger struggled to a sitting position then standing he hopped across to the table And managed to grasp the empty bottle I have it not a break it That did it I'll tell you I'm trying to cut your ropes It was a tedious task and from time to time the indian went slightly as the jagged edge of the broken bottle touched his wrists But finally the rope frayed then parted Cut rope keep us happy good and tie my hands Oh wait, I've decided on a plan we leave the ropes on our ankles Why we do that we'll put the rope loosely on our wrists then go back to our original positions on the bunks Me not savvy. I'm hoping we can give cooper a big surprise when the proper time comes We can keep them from running. We got loose First we'll have to throw the broken bottle and glass in the fireplace. All right, let's get this out A short time later Gus Cooper entered the cabin with two of his men Sam hadn't shown me that gun he wore to town Gus and never would have believed you really captured these two hombres I hated to give that gun back to you Gus These are my guns from now on That is after I use them on the masked man in indian The stage is ready right now. We'll put these zombies into the coach and get going You men follow but stay hidden till I fire two shots and come riding in fast. All right. Let's go On the trail the marshal and the posse who had been trailing ace and sam from town stopped at a screen Good Let me know zombies great trailer this month They come with their trail here But we have to pick it up again as soon as possible I will split up right along each side of this stream and try to find out where they left it Keep your eyes peeled Now let's start the search Keeping the hideout camp the stage coach owned by Gus Cooper and his gang Moved along back trails then swung over to the main trail and headed back toward new bronfels Gus Cooper with a smile of satisfaction sat between the lone ranger and tato inside the coach Believing they were still securely bound the outlaw leader thought there was no need for precaution The lone ranger and tato noted this The masked man glanced occasionally at his own guns which rested in the outlaws holsters They rode in silence until Gus suddenly spoke Well, mister There comes the buckboard carry in that big payroll The sheriff and his deputy won't suspect a thing until the bullets fly then it'll be too late You have a lot of confidence in your plan to be sure one up nothing can go wrong now While Gus Cooper spoke the masked man and indian eased their hands from the loosened ropes behind them without the gang leader Suspecting suddenly now tato get our guns simultaneously the lone ranger and tato grab the guns from Gus Cooper's holsters Please please Cooper. Oh noise. Are you dying? You were tried. I don't say that's something for you to think about The stage meets the buckboard who stops don't make a sound Hello, I'll keep him covered entire feet quickly Me free hurry use a rope to tie cooper You won't get away with this maybe not this worth a try because he's bandana the gagging tato Me do that within a moment. Gus was tied and gagged Then as the stage approached the oncoming buckboard the lone ranger gave additional directions Now tato where may stop get out on the off side of the coach and cover the two men on the seat I'll get on the other side near the buckboard Let's go tato don't move you covered hey something's gone wrong the engine's got us covered sheriff look come Wait hold your fire that must be the honor the marshal told me about And indians with him Mr. The marshal is plum worried about you. How on earth did you get to be in that stage coach? No time for explanations now sheriff I suggest you and the deputy put the payroll into the stage coach and get inside yourselves You're tying gagged at two outlaws who are riding the seat of the stage Load them and cooper on the buckboard. I don't savvy quickly and briefly the lone ranger told of Gus Cooper's plan Then after firing into the air for the benefit of the outlaws who had followed and must be waiting and hiding nearby The lone ranger and the others quickly loaded gust cooper and the two gunmen All tied and gagged onto the buckboard and gave orders to the driver to deliver them to the turnkey at the jail All right driver turn around and head for town fast sure get up there come on Get into the coach sheriff We'll be protected in here The outlaw gang should soon come riding this way thinking the whole up was successful Look give us a big yes me see riders coming over rise yonder All right, Jiminy here they come and more than we bargained for too. We'll keep out of sight until they get within close range Hey gus we're on the buckboard heading back to town with the bodies in it Hey gus where are you? Hey, why aren't the men on the seat of the stage? Sam, I'm beginning to think there's no more than any of you Hey look, the man in the engine You reached quick. Yeah, we got you covered. Hey something has happened gus isn't here Well, there are four of them to aid us. Why don't we we can handle you use your gun so let them get away with it Sheriff look here comes the marshal in the posse. Hey, there's a posse coming We gotta play our way out of these laws determined not to be taken try to fight their way out of the trap But they soon became panic-stricken as bullets flew thick and fast Several of them were wounded and with the lone ranger and throttle with the two lawmen before them And the marshal and posse closing in behind them. They were hopelessly beaten and one after the other they threw down their guns Here we get them all Once more the lone ranger related what had happened then he asked margeau what brought you in the posse He recessed just at the right time. Hey son umbrae in the cafe wearing one of your guns I got suspicious and trailed him and another ombre to the hideout Stage had already left and so the gang but they left silver and scout in a clear trail from there So we came along brought your horses and heard the shoot I'm glad we got here in time Seems so you thought your own way out of this deal You and tato were slated for death, but you came out of it the flying colors But gus cooper was clever enough in the beginning to lead us into a trap Well now that things are under control tato and i'll go back to san antonio I'm glad everything turned out as it did All right with you missy. Hey rick and the sheriff and his men can handle things from here on You're glad to have your company marshal easy Say sheriff that ombre sure is a real man of action We would have lost that payroll of it hadn't meant for him And we caught the outlaw gang to boot Who is he?
