With his faithful Indian companion puzzle, a daring and resourceful Masked Lighter of the Plains 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. Returning with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Come on of the past, come on of wondering who streets of the Great War are still there. The lone ranger rides again. Come on, tell me. Let's go before I am still there. Hurry! Jude Cooper owns one of the largest spreads in the southwest territory. Jude was a gruff type of man who ran his ranch with an iron hand. But there was one who took little or nothing from Jude, his 10-year-old daughter, James. To judge the sun rose and set in James' blue eyes and fair hair. And the ranch hands secretly enjoyed the way the little girl handled their father. Being a close judge at the corral one day, where he and Tex the foreman were looking over some highly prized horses that Jude had bought. Yeah. And done-colored chilies is fine a piece of horse twice as you could wish for, okay? Nobody's the riser but me, you understand? Jude bought that, daddy. Well, he sure is a beauty and he cost plenty too. Like you, that's really cost more than you the rest. But, James, the new horses are here. You sure are, James. Ha, ha, ha. Gotta take your eyes, daddy. Oh, yeah. You know what? This is the one I want. See, that one over there. No, no, no. Hold on a minute. You've got more of an eye for good horse place than I thought. I was just giving orders that no one rides that filly but me. Yeah, that's right. That's what you said. Oh, why don't you let me ride that, Uncle? I can ride pretty well. I'm not thinking too much of you. James, didn't I just say that... Uh-huh. You know, I'm going to name a beauty. That'll be a name from now on. Now, listen here, girl. Get this through your head. I just gave orders that that... Oh, daddy. You might get a horse better than you do me, I bet. No, of course I don't. You know better than that. Oh, darling, dad. Did you see your dad? I didn't say that at all. I said that... Oh, James. Don't do anything to him again. Yeah. No, isn't that something... What are you laughing at? Nothing. Only I saw... I'll do the thinking around here. Sammy? Yeah. I mean, if that filly acts up and throws James, you're scared for me. But come on, I'll start a beauty for you right now. Let's see if you can get a little alright with her. What's the matter? I'm scared. I'm scared. What's the matter with James? James, under the Texas Watchful Guidance, rolls his beauty around the ranch. He'll be身 the love that James had for her and reacted to it with great affection. One night, James, waiting until the house was quiet, slipped on his shoes and put him on a flannel bathrobe, quietly left the house and headed for the large stable, a short distance behind the ranch house. The moon was bright. And as James walked past the bunk house, he realized there was no need for caution. since the cowhands were staying in camp on the rings while they put up new fencing. The figure was alone building with doors facing the rear of the ranch house and also doors on the end away from the other buildings. Dean privately opened one of the doors just wide enough to slide through. Then she stopped and stood listening. What are you doing here? How keep doing? As Dean kept going the doors, it was in time to see three figures leaving the prized horses out of the rear door. Oh my, they're taking the horses. I'm going in. Oh they can't take the theories. They can't. Wait, don't go. Oh they take a beauty pill. What happened? After several attempts, Dean managed to put the cattle on the horse. The only animal left behind by the ruffles. She was panicked, stricken at the thought of losing beauty and somehow she felt as if she went back after her father. She blamed her for leaving the house. For some time, the little girl rode in the direction in which the ruffles had gone. Finally, in spite of her constant urging, the pony slowed her pace. But the adopted pony gave no heed and all at once turned to a dead stop. It was not until then that Dean's concern for beauty gave way to fear. She suddenly realized he was lost and wore it alone in the night for that weird sound and scary cattle. He's stolen it. A court distance from the spot where Dean sat fobbing. A lone ranger and cattle had picked the temporary camp and were rolled up in their blankets sleeping. Suddenly, the lone ranger sat up listening. Then, looking over, he touched the cattle. Oh no, what are you doing here? It's Kyle's calling. Oh, me here. That's who that could be. Let's be right out there on the trail. Ah, that's right. Go on foot. Why does Kyle have a pillow, Kyle? Ah, it's a little girl. Be afraid, little girl. We're not outlaws. We won't hurt you. No, no. You're not crying. You'll not be scaring. Who's that about a man? Couldn't I give you this way? I use the mask so that I can help people in trouble. Who want to help you if you let him? That's right. Could it be on outlaws? Who doesn't know to look all dead in choices? It's my wife, Beauty. Who is your father? That Cooper. I'm Jane Cooper. I'm lost. I want to go home. We know where your father is right here, Jane. Oh, tell me, when did the men you speak out take horses from your father? Just tonight. I went out to say goodnight to Beauty. Beauty? Beauty is my own horse. All my very own. The house is gone. I saw them take her away with the outfit. Well, maybe you'll have bad dreams about outlaws. Oh, no, no. I think I could just say, well, I saw them leave. I heard them talking to you. I'm sorry, dear. Really? What did you hear, Jane? I heard one of them say, just get away from here. Hey, I was something like that. Hell. Maybe that hell burn that gang and came up with something. Yes, it could be. We fell in there, here. You mean you know I'm tough, Beauty? What's going on, sir? We think we do, Jane. Oh, could you? Could you get back my horse, ma'am? Well, we can't promise, Jane. But we'll try. I'm not right. Go get some of them, scoundrel. I'll wait here with Jane. They'll take her back to her father's ranch and then try to pick up the sleigh of the rings by next year. The long rings are untoppled. It was started back with skin toward the Cooper's breast. It was quite unimpeded and could see for some distance. As they rung to the bend in the trail, they saw a group of horsemen approaching. Oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. Hold on, ma'am. I don't know what you're talking about. This is one way to sleep, since he's found. That is why I'm calling. It's Jane. Get her, son. No, wait, wait, wait. Put the horse in. They'll throw her back before she gets slain. Make sure to cut with the left quick. Whoa, whoa, I'm a scout. Where's the man? God Cooper sent his men to trail the masked man in Indian. While he took Jane back to the ranch house, it was dawn when the men rode up to the corral and the mongrel. Oh, my God. Oh, here comes the horse. I'm going to take some dog on card here. Well? We might as well have been trying to trail a couple of ghosts, boss. They were too good at covering their trail. Got clean away from it. That's what I expected. He lunged at it. Cowpoke couldn't trail a lane stray with red paint on her hoof. Oh, he did the best we knew how, boss. Remember, eating with a moon bright, it isn't easy to find. I'm not here to listen to excuses. Look, I noticed something about those two we met on the trail with Jane. Well, I noticed they got away. That's what... But the other thing was that they didn't try to trade lead with us, like if they didn't want to risk hitting little Jane. Well, the Jane tried to tell me they were her friends, and they promised to bring her back home. She did. What are you making that for? I'll tell you what I'm making of it. Poor child so confused and upset she don't realize what she's saying. You reckon that so? Well, I'm not interested in what you reckon, Jake, or anyone else. You get on your brunks right now and head for town. Sure. What for? Tell the sheriff I want him to get every man he can to ride in the parking. Tell him all of us will ride with him when he gets here. We're going to scour the countryside or we'll catch up with that masked owl who's on the white horse and that outlaw Indian that's riding with him. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. Boy, did you ever have one of those rough days at school? Maybe you didn't get a real high mark on a test or score as many points as you wanted in a game. Well, that's the kind of a day a guy likes to get home and find his mother's baked a great big chocolate devil's food cake. Mm-hmm. A cake that says, I think you're swell no matter what. A perfect cake. The kind mom gets every time she uses Betty Crocker chocolate devil's food cake mix. And is it easy? All the good chocolatey fixings are right in the package. All she has to do is add water and two fresh eggs for a cake that's so rich and homemade chocolatey good, you've got to have second, even third. Make sure there's lots of Betty Crocker chocolate devil's food cake mix in the cupboard at your house for a perfect cake every time you bake. Cake after cake after cake. It's guaranteed perfect by Betty Crocker of General Mills Minneapolis. Now to continue. Without bothering to listen to what Gene had to say, young Cooper was convinced that the lone ranger and cuddle with the rustlers who had run off his five horses. He sent one of his men to town for the sheriff and a large party, saying he was determined to scour the countryside until the two had been caught. What's going on, fella? What's going on? What's going on, Gatto? Ah, me here to talk to for a tell woman. Sheriff's getting big talky together. Them not hunts, Barnett gang. Them hunts us. Cooper will probably take most of his men along. He can try to pick up Barnett's tail behind the Cooper stable after the men have left. Here's who this fellow is doing. He's got easy pun on us. Monster! Monster down! Slinger and cuddle conceals themselves and their horses in the arroyo. Finally, the sheriff with Judd Cooper and about 30 men passed by on the trail. After they'd gone a big distance, the masked man and Indian left the arroyo and rode in a wide circle, finally coming to a halt behind Judd Cooper at stable. I'll be back in a minute. A little bit slow. What's the mark that would be distinctive unless the fellow? For a moment, the long range and now fell and studied the hoof mark. The mark showed where several meal heads had protruded from the shoe, making a sharp design. Satisfied with what he had found, the long range is good up to be. When a stable door facing the back of the ranch house suddenly opened and Jim came in. Yes, Jim. Tell him I came to pick up the trail left by the man who took your horse. What did you think, Judy, that one? Well, it's all right. Good, Jim. It's gone. It's a bullet. Yes, but it's a special kind of bullet. It's made of silver. God, it's done. If your holler comes back, Jim, kill that twin. Tell him I came here and gave it to you. All right. I'll tell him you're going to get Judy back, too. I hope so. Goodbye. Goodbye. Did you get caught? Come on. Get him up the stairs. So the long range run, Kappa would spend considerable time picking off the trail. Time and again, they lost it. But by tedious and careful searching, they found it again. Until finally, they approached a long, rocky path. Suddenly, the long range did rule rain. Oh. Although, I just know there's something. Look up there. A long run of this path. Oh. You think we're fired. Burn off trees. Yes. Yesterday morning, on our way to the place where we made camp, we came along a trail up there near that rim. I remember seeing those charred trees. Uh-huh. That right. I remember too, the back of ways. On that upper trail, we looked down into a buck canyon. Ah. Maybe Ruffler's hide stolen horses there. Yes. We'll come around and head for that upper trail. All right, let's hurry. Come on, Judy. Yeah, let's go. I told time later that two men rode along the upper trail until they reached the back of the buck canyon. Those are the horses. Now, these are pretty corky. Oh, it's been a while. They'll move over to the rim of the canyon now. Wait for that now. Calling close to the canyon rim, they looked down. They saw many horses waiting below, and off to one side, there's a key attack. No one inside tunnel. We found them all right. Ah. Now what we do? We tie our legs together so they'll reach the bottom of the canyon. I'll be down first, and you follow. That tree there will hold our way to the canyon. In the second canyon, the hell-barned edam is too corny. It's long gone caught. How are we saying? We've done what I'd say or so well nobody could ever find out here. In a few days it'll be safe to move the horses out. They've probably been hunting us ever since last night. They'll be given up by now, have I? I'm not worried, Dave. Thank you. I'm going to take a look around that. That's a good idea, buddy. The outlaw called Buck cautiously opened the door, and Justice cautiously stepped outside. He was more nervous than the other two, and was always prepared for what might happen. As he stood looking around, the rays of the setting sun struck the back of the shack. The dark shadow of the shack lay in front of him. Then Buck tense. As he saw another shadow appear, the long shadow of a man who must be on the side of the shack near the window. The lone ranger had approached the shack along the side, and edged forward to look in the window. Suddenly, he was startled by Buck's voice a few feet away at the corner of the shack. Freeze! What is this? No time. You moved quietly, my friend. All right. Did he take a no chance to... Yeah. He's got a mask on. That's right. That's the same. I'm taking no chances. There's a slug in this gun just for you, my friend. The lone ranger took a deep breath. Buck stood right behind him. Suddenly, the masked man kicked back, and a whirl flinging his hand down against Buck's gun on him. He moved away, and this will finish it off. A heavy blow to the tin took Buck off his feet and scratched him on the ground. The lone ranger heard the other two slam out the front door. With both guns ready, he knew that he's smart enough to separate and come around either side of the shack. Hal Barnett came in the bureau on the corner of the shack with gone guns. Even as he fired at Hal, he expected a slug to rip his back from the other man's gun. How did you get this? No, you won't. Oh, you must do something! Oh, no. You got that other one just in time. I can almost feel a bullet coming from behind me. Oh, we've got three. That must be all. Yes. Oh, look. Coming into the pass, the party. Ah, we get behind the shack. Maybe they'm good at it. Hey, make some noise! I guess they saw the bullet I gave James. Oh, oh, oh, oh! Right there, they got a whole free of them. Yeah? They need our help, pal. Yeah, I guess they didn't. You and the man can take these rustling. That's Hal Barnett and his men. Hal Barnett? Then they'll laugh at some cats. Then again, show them the stupid bullet you gave him. Then get married and remember who you were. I'm glad you did. I was getting tired of hiding from your party. God, you can take James' horse beauty back, sure. I know to be happy. Sure will. Yes, sir. I don't know how to leave now. We left our horses on the rim. I must of the way we came down. How do you do, sir? How do you do, sir? How do you do, sir? By Sunday, that's one fine outbreak here. They don't come any finer. Yes, yes, sir. Now, now, wait a minute, boss. This morning, you wanted to see him living with bullets. Right? Now, you... Now, listen here, Tex. Don't be trying to tell me what I can say. I can feel heavy. Sure, sure, boss. Great day. Look at that masked man go up that roof over yonder. And now, there goes the Indian. Yes, sir. I knew all the time, little Jane knew what she was talking about. That's one friend she can be glad to have. What I said and what I meant are two different things, heavy. Double you, lazy bunch of waddies, if you can't tell an outlaw from... Well, from the best down-brain in the west. The lone ranger. There are copyrighted features of the lone ranger incorporated.
