 Fiery horse of the speed of light a cloud of dust in a hearty high oh silver the lone ranger Around lonely campfires throughout the western United States Cowboys still tell of the deeds of the famous masked writer of justice He fought crime wherever he found it and did more than any other single man to bring law and order To the frontier with his faithful Indian companion tanto and his great horse silver the phantom rider of the planes faced Countless dangers with unfailing courage and now adventure comes to life once more the lone ranger rides again The lone ranger flashed by on silver We heard him say that a wagon train was in trouble the wagon train led by old Peter Ridley had been suffering increasing difficulties Amos Carver once Ridley's firm friend quarreled with him until the two men scarcely spoke to one another The entire party took sides and dissatisfaction grew daily But when they reached the point where the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail divided trouble reached a crisis As our first act opens the wagon train had made camp for the night Amos Carver is talking to Sam Dugall a scout I Don't know where Pete gets off thinking he's the only fellow in this wagon train. There's no is anything Well, Mr. Carver, I'd say you ought to be the leader of this party instead of him No reason why I couldn't do just as well your he better like my folks and he is and why not? You don't see me telling folks that everything they do was wrong Like us hunting them buffalo today blasted all why shouldn't we hunt buffalo if we for my entire ain't hurting him in there Of course it ain't just like me Don't think you're something first and ain't right for anybody else. I think of it. I'll tell you Sam I'm going to kill all the buffalo. I want shucks fellas got to have some kind of sport They hear Pete tell it. Do you think it was a crime? But he's the leader I suppose you'd better do what he tells you. Hmm. It's likely he'd make trouble for you if you was to cross And just let him try it while that added old buzzard ain't gonna take leave folks inside again Did he say that now look here, Mr. Carver, I need one to stir up hard Can you a question? Well, so he did, huh? Well, I'll show him who's got the most friends next time. I see Pete him and me is gonna have a showdown I wouldn't want you let on ice anything, Mr. Carver. You ain't told me nothing. I didn't know already Tell me what to do Willie think folks aside with him does he well I'll teach him to reckon with Amers Carver for a change. I'd better be getting along mr. Carver I got me some work that's waiting to be done. You run across that old goat You just tell him I got something up my sleeve. He ain't expecting that if you don't like it, you know blame. Well, what he can do Hi, Jim Several of your things Just seen Jim away back Oh there mr. Ridley Howdy Sam fix in your wagon. Yeah, all is something wrong with the blame thing Say what's this? I hear about you and Amers hunting buffalo today. It weren't my fault mr. Ridley They must put you up to an a well. I'm just working for you fellas. I gotta do what I'm told to don't I I Figured is that it just ID killing buffalo just for the fun. I told mr. Carver Buffalo's for food Everybody that lives in this country Redskins and whites both depend on it for the living It's a sin to kill them for sport. That's right and that ain't all Seems as if nothing suits Amers anymore if I'm first something then he's again it sure as shooting Well, I guess he figures folks would rather have him for a leader than you mr. Ridley Oh, he does does he I don't aim to talk when I shouldn't I heard him saying something about having a showdown with you And that's just what we are gonna have courses ain't none of my affair But it seems to me when one fellas a leader than the others ought to do as he says and that's just what Amers is gonna do I'll make that dirty just sorry he ever crossed me look ain't that Amers coming this way? That's him sure enough We're going to have it out right now. I hate to see trouble between you two mr. Ain't nothing you can do about it Amers asked for it and he's gonna get it Some words with you Pete say or say Amers and then I got things to tell you no Phil You can still Sam. I know you've been wanting to smooth things over but there ain't no chance Amers. You're a darn digit I am I well listen to me you old goat. You're gonna hear some things. You ain't hankering after yeah I heard you've been hollering because me and Sam here shot some buffalo There's two of you to tell me what I can do. I'm the boss of this wagon train That's who and I'm giving you an order right now. That's gonna be obeyed and what's that there ain't are gonna be no more shooting A buffalo less than it's for food killing them off just for the fun of it's got stuff Hey, hey, but you ain't giving me orders no more and why not because I've been talking to some of the other folks And they're tired of the way you've been running things. Yeah, we decided we're getting out Trail branches off just ahead one morning comes. We're going one way and you're going the other that suits me One is the Oregon trail the others are Santa Fe you can take your pick don't matter none to me And we'll be choosing the Oregon trail good enough There's about half the folks you see there follow my lead We pass the word along and when we come to the fork the folks can turn off one way or the other just to save a mind I'll just I wish there's some way to fix it up between you fellas. Well, the rain I've no day miss since he was knee-high to a grasshopper and he's never had good Sam Yeah, and you all has been the same stubborn deluches are right now. Good night The next day we find out of the faithful Indian companion of the Lone Ranger in the hills Not far from the camp of the covered wagons He's trapped as close as possible to a group of outlaws who are posing as trappers His powerful horses concealed behind rocks He hears Rick Logan speaking Sam or to report pretty quick now Yeah, you're the he's been with a wagon train from Platte River up to now I counted on him having things fixed so the wagons would divide when they got here Hey Rick just a minute. What's the matter, but I just been wondering let me see that shoot nine with you here What are you shit? You act down right queer and bushes ain't moving from no breeze What I got him a red skin hidden in bushes. Come on. Let's see what he looks like there goes his horse Never mind the horse. What's this engine doing around here? I don't know. I've seen them bush and move and I figured some power might be around He ain't killed your bullet just grazed him also rope around him for the time We can decide later what to do with him. All right, boss. Hey Rick. I'm coming now We've been waiting for you Sam Let me get away before Howdy fellas. Well, what's the news? I got good news Boys, this is the slickest that we ever pulled off. I got everything set. I worked just like you said boss Them two glutes was just boiling for a fight. Oh Hey, where'd the engine come from buck just now caught him outside camp He creased the red skin of scalp for him Now we're in thunder if I've seen that engine afford never mind him I want to hear about the way things set. Well, boss. I played carbon old Ridley again each other right from the start I figured it could be done that way and they were so blamed jealous of each other They was ready to believe anything I told him I wasn't with him two days before they was fighting about who was derived the head of the wagon drain And who was to stay at the rear? Pretty slick I made carver think that Ridley didn't like what he's doing then when Carver started shooting off his mouth I told Ridley the car was just trying to fix it. So he'd be boss don't look like you missed any tricks I'm sure it didn't before I was through they was arguing about everything from the food to the way the wagons ought to line up you all it was the smoother stalker I ever heard and all the time I made him think I was trying to keep him friendly if you told him was me got him to fight And they wouldn't believe you won't decide to do the bus stuff. That's the best yet. Yeah, I got him to arguing about buffalo It's a fact. So help me old Ridley was dead set again killing off the buffalo for the fun of it And then what so when I told Carver the way Ridley figured why there was a nothing to do But he'd shoot as many buffaloes he blame please and now the wagon train is split up for sure You bet it is one half's going to Texas and the other half's heading for California They carry in plenty of cash with them They so living ahead of all they started moving farther with Well, they're just the sort of folks we want to meet up with in what your plans Well, now that they've divided up we can rate either one of them without taking chances Yeah, first we'll go after the bunch that's taking the Oregon trail You see they most likely you'll get through saddle pass before they make camp for the night Yeah, Carter said they aim to get that for and once through the pass There won't be no chance of their friends giving them any help How's this shucks that passes so near two fellas with extra guns can hold off a group of soldiers if they wanted to And when we finished we can get the others. You're gonna get started pretty soon Oh, we'll wait an hour or so needn't start that early the way wagon trains travel. We can take a time How about the engine here? Well leave butt behind the guard him Maybe later on we can fix it some way to make it look like it was engines did the radon And when that wagon train gets through the pass we'll be there to make them folks feel right to home Yes, sir. We they're going to get a red hot welcome The lone ranger was camped only an hour's ride from the headquarters of the outlaws At the site of white fellow returning without his master Tondo. He was instantly aroused What's happened? You want me to follow you If anything's happened a tunnel we'll help him white fellow Wonder if Tondo could have found the outlaw. We've been having silver We're ready white fellow lead the way and we'll follow come on silver Departed early planning to make the trip to saddle pass without hurrying They left Tondo still bound to the tree apparently unconscious the outlaw buck remained behind to guard him You come to yet And sure run a nice furrow across your scalp with my shooting iron you're done lucky you wasn't killed You you shoot me It was me all right And it ain't gonna do you no good to look at me like it feel pleased to carve me up You won't be getting loose on them ropes. What you do is white fellow. It's the name of that white horse of yours He got away the sure one is a throw my rope on him. He was a swell piece of horse flesh him Good horse Maybe him get a mule Are you local engine now? Just how that horse get me maybe you see That's a good one that is Hey, what do you stand at me not stare your sure was you wouldn't be up to no tricks Would you come to not see anything? Maybe you did I think I'll do a little investigating Tonto all right under see you come yes I was afraid this man might guess that someone was behind him here I'll cut these ropes white color bring you yes He led me here you tie up that color I will then we ride fast why there plenty trouble me tell you what Tondo here I want to hear your story Kimosabi Tondo tell you then maybe we save white people The curtain falls on the first act of our thrilling lone ranger drama before the next exciting scenes Please permit us to pause for just a few moments Now to continue our story Sam Dougal and outlaw was hired by Peter Ridley The leader of a wagon train Sam brought about a quarrel between Ridley and Carver which led to the party's division Tonto scouting near the camp of outlaws was captured But later freed by the lone ranger when the outlaws departed to attack a wagon train The faithful Indian told the masked man of the outlaws plans It is late afternoon as our second act opens Peter Ridley riding at the head of the wagon train slowly making its way down the Santa Fe trail is speaking to a companion I tell you Jake I have no name as Carver man and boy for over 35 years And I've yet to see the day you could get sensed into his head without a sledge hammer He was mighty good friends one speed. Well, we ain't no more. You don't seem right somehow Some of us are heading for Texas and some for California Maybe we won't never see the other folks again Serves them right for following a mutton head like Amos. Yeah, we ain't so far along but what we could join up Look here, Jake. What's done is done ain't no going back. That's the last word. I got to say Then Paul was did say there weren't no worse enemies than them that had been friends ain't seen nothing of Sam Dougal Have you know not since early morning reckoning went with Amos. Maybe well, I'll be look over yonder That might be Sam now, huh? See them two fellas riding this way. Gosh, I might ink they're covering the ground though Neither one of them Sam welcome, you know that they're riding white horses Sam's horse was a bay Want no match for either of those critters. They sure are beauties What was he hollering I don't know I couldn't make it out Sure ain't wasting time getting here leaping catfish one of them's mask the other's a red skin That's me stranger right over here pull up here take in a hold up is it two fellas hold up a wagon train Jake sometimes you ain't got a might more sense than a Yo Peter Ridley, that's me. What's on your mind? Ridley. You've been tricked. Huh, what's that? Outlawed you wanted your train to make it easier to attack. You miss the word kind of a stunt is this Sounds kind of funny for a fellow wearing a mask to talk about laws, but I'm not an outlaw And how about the man I can explain that later now you must listen to me Pete There's something about this fellow. I like maybe he ain't an outlaw You leave me to handle this Jake Amos Carver and his party will be wiped out unless you hurry this ain't some trick Is it stranger my friend was captured by the outlaws you can see the bullet wound they gave him yeah And how come he's still living he pretended to be unconscious when the outlaws made their plans They let him live because they didn't believe he'd heard them go on they'll attack the other party somewhere beyond saddle pass Just a minute. Where'd you get the darn fool notion that outlaws spit up my wagon train Sam Dougal is an outlaw He brought about the coral that was his purpose when he joined your party stranger Sam was the most peaceable fellow you ever seen. He was always trying to smooth things out. You don't believe me You ain't gonna get me to swallow a story like that Pete you're just this stubborn is Amos I can't see the arm and checking up on what this fella says the outlaws are traveling slowly But if you don't write it once it'll be too late. I'll hold on maybe you're an outlaw Maybe you're just planning to get the men folks away from here and wait. There's Chuck Seems in as big a hurry as these fellas. It's like he's been over the back trail the direction. He's coming for their boy Hey, Pete, Pete There's something wrong with Carver's wagon train something powerful wrong. Yeah I'm so darned out of breath. I can hardly talk. Well, if you got something to tell tell it I just came from saddle pass way Nation was you doing over there? Well, yeah, you see Sarian is with the other folks in the blazes with Sarian talk off I was almost to the past when I heard some shooting Most likely Amos gunning for Buffalo as I heard over his way Buffalo nothing them shots was aimed at me Somebody was trying to keep me out of that past Pete I bet the mass color was right all the time Amos sure wouldn't fire a Chuck the outlaws are there now We really figure it's outlaw of course, but we may be able to save Carly's party If you bring your men at once and they hold off the outlaw for a time same side liners won't get Amos without trouble Are you gonna do something Pete? Am I? Amos ain't got much sense, but he's my friend and I'll fill the fellow full of lead that tries to do him harm Come on stranger. Let's get going You The low ranger organized the men in Ridley's party to ride to the rescue of their friends with a masked man in the lead They race towards saddle pass As they charge down upon the narrow cut and they were met with a volley of shots I don't want to get through that path the rest of the outlaws are surrounding the wagon Shall we try it anyhow stranger? We can! They can easily show to some cover as we approach We gotta do something we just gotta Let's stop before we get within their range We've got to ride through that pass. We can't just stand here while them polecats are shooting up our friends That's right Pete And I've got to save Sarianne if them coyotes harm her house The wagon frame is still holding out The outlaws wouldn't be blocking the pass How do you figure that? They'd have no reason to stay if their work were finished Yeah, that sounds like sense There may be another way to reach Carver There ain't no other way stranger We can't ride up them cliffs That's right Now can we ride through the pass? Carver wouldn't be helped by our death To blaze is with that If our friends is killed we might as well be too And leave the women and children in your own party hadn't protected No we can't do that he's right I guess we were so blame mad we was forgetting If only you and Amos hadn't broke up Pete Then all because of them blame Buffalo Buffalo? Huh? Didn't we pass under the main herd beyond that rise? Oh yes but I... How far beyond the pass is Carver's party? Well must be near a mile You can see the fightin' goin' on through the cut Then I have a plan I believe will work Something to save Amos? Yes Then tell us your scheme stranger And we'll do anything you say The lone ranger outlined his plan to the men And they went into action But in the meantime the outlaw's attack Was proceeding as their leader had ordered The greater part of the gang taking no risks Slowly wore down the resistance of Amos and his men The remainder Including Rick Logan and Sam Dougal Held their positions at the pass Rick is speaking We're doing all right ain't we Sam? Yeah Like you said Rick The whole thing is going to be done We're doing all right Yeah Like you said Rick The whole troop of cavalry couldn't get through this pass Unless we let them But we ain't letting them How are the boys making out with the wagon train? Taking it careful like I told them Ain't no use rushing the wagons They can stand off and snipe them Without getting shot themselves It'll take a long time that way boss Oh and about it We ain't no hurry Nobody can get past us to give them a hand It'll dark for long All are better If they light fires They can be shot at without no trouble And if they don't The boys can sneak up to the wagons Without being seen Yes you're right boss Never seen the time Rick had things figured wrong You just bet I don't Did you see how that bunch That came with a big ombre and the white horse Stabbed real sudden They didn't take to the taste of lead we gave them They sure pulled up without no hesitation I sort of hoped they'd keep on It'd have been fun picking them fellas off Yeah Wonder what they're up to now They done the only thing they could do What's that Turned around and read back to where they come from Yeah they must have The hurry they was in They probably figured we was like to chase them That's funny What's funny What's that trembling in the ground My doll here I don't know Like there was a whole herd of cattle running wild There ain't no cattle in this country There ain't and that's a fact No I wonder Hey boss Take a look What do you mean Down the valley See it What in Thunder brought them this way They was grazing out in the prairie The last I seen of them It's a stampede Ain't there some fellas on horses chasing them There is And one of them is the same ombre we saw before The fellow with the big white horse That came They're up those heads right from the past If they come busting through here We ain't got a chance They stopped up under and gone local Fire at them Try to turn them The shots don't faze them Keep on shooting They gotta be stopped They're traveling us They're cutting us to pieces I'm getting out of here Say we are If you move wild they will land But boss If they get through we're licked Keep on shooting You can't stop them You can't I'm telling you Go on and shoot me We can't stop them No more in a mountain slide Watch out hey Watch out We gotta run Run for it fellas They're right on us Run for your lives The maddened herded buffalo Urged on by the lone ranger And Ridley's men Thunder through the past Swithing all before it As they cleared the way The masked man And his companions Raced through the past Come on Silver old fellow Scratch out those Great minds of yours The wagon train Must be saved Cut them off young boys I'm down Let me be I give up I tell you So Sam You wasn't at all Like the masked fellow said Ridley This gang has made a practice Of attacking small wagon trains Well they ain't gonna do it No more Thanks to you stranger We'll have one of the men Tied up at their camp We can get him later Get along You low down Sidewinder Get along Before I ventilate your hide Don't shoot Watch out for that gun I'm doing what you tell me Ain't I You'd better You know what's good for you Amos By the eternal Are you hurt Amos? There you scratch And are the others all right? Shucks None of them are hurt so bad The time won't mend them Would you sure come along Just in time Yeah but it was the masked fellow Got us here It was him The thought of stampeding the buffalo You were fortunate To survive this danger Warn we though But you will meet Many more dangers Before your journey is over We've learned that stranger You travel separately Neither party will be strong enough To defend itself Oh, just what do you Get in that stranger Or get your quarrels and reunite You over to the people you lead Well, I'm willing Oh, you old goat You listen to me I was bent for trouble And I got it Here's my hand to show I'm sorry You really mean You want to join up With me again Amos Ain't that what I'm saying Shake We're friends again Even if you are a stubborn old agent There's another thing, Pete About them buffalo They saved my life after I was dead set On killing them for sport They sure did And I got this to say The first fellow I see Shooting them regardless Has got me to deal with That goes as it stands What you have just heard Is a copyrighted feature Of the Lone Ranger Incorporated
