With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful mask rider of the plains, let 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 a thundering hoof beats of the great horse, Silver. The lone ranger rides again. The lone ranger and Tonto rode the trail that led to the town of Bretton. As they rode, they discussed the reason for their trip southward from Eagle Pass. The mask man was saying, how do we know for certain that one eye killer in his outlaw came down this way? Ah, them say him have plenty mean temper. Even kill own man some time. The poor is that once a man joins one eye gang, he's not allowed to leave it. Am I right? They reach Eagle Pass by sunset. After we pitch camp, we may be able to get some news that outlaw gang in town. All right, let's hurry, Tonto. Until we come up scum. That afternoon, one eye killer was talking to two of his men in a hideout shack near Eagle Pass. I got tipped off by a spy I have planted in Eagle Pass that the only hombre who ever quit my gang and got away with it, fellow by the name of Jim Holly, is settled in town. You mean you brought us here all the way from Stockton just to get back at some hombre who quit your gang? Nope, there's more to it than that, Lou. Jim Holly is married now, living in Eagle Pass and working as clerk at the express office. He must have lied about his pass to get that job. I figure you're enforcing him to help us with a hold up of the express office. You think you will? Yeah. I want you to take a printed note to his house and town tonight. That evening, Jim Holly and his wife, Mary, were at supper. Jim, about 25 years of age, smiled happily, as he said. Well, honey, by this time next year, I hope we manage to save enough to get a small ranch outside of town someplace. Yes, but it's going to take a lot of money to start a ranch, even a small one, and to stock it with cattle jeep. Huh. Wonder who that is coming here right at supper time. You, Jim Holly? Yeah. Get a message for you. Yeah. Who sent the note? You'll find out when you read it. Oh, hey, wait a minute. Just turned and walked away. I don't know, honey. He brought this note, but I don't know who'd be sending a note to me. Why don't you read it and find out? Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. Read it out loud. No, no, it isn't anything important, Mary. I have to go out after supper to see a certain fellow, that's all. The moon was bright when Jim Holly reached the fork in the trail and pulled to a halt. Oh, hold on. Easy, easy. For a moment, he sat still looking around. Then he saw three horsemen ride from behind some big boulders a short distance back from the trail. Well, I knew that note would bring you out here, Holly. I didn't have much choice. What'd you say in that note, one eye? I didn't get to see it. Here, you can read it if you're that curious. Oh, yeah, thanks. It's been three years since you lit out on me in the game. I found out you were settled here with a wife and a job. Meet me at nine tonight at the fork in the south trail. I have something to talk over. Don't try any tricks. You're being watched every minute. I'm not gunning for you yet, so don't worry about coming out. But be there. Well, you sure knew what's right to bring him here, one eye. Here's your note, Holly. I don't want to throw it away if you want to. Sure. Now, Keller, why did you have me come here? I just need a little help from you, that's all, Holly. Of course, if you don't agree to give it anything might happen. What do you mean, help? Just leave the express office safe unlocked tomorrow night. That's all. Listen, you can't force me to do that. I wouldn't like it much if we kept you with us and your wife was found in the morning with a bullet in her, would you? Oh, no, no. Wait a minute. Leave her out of this. Well, that's up to you. And I'm not waiting long for an answer. You won't get away with this sort of thing. Well, you won't play along. All right, we take him back with us, Lou. You head for town, go to his place, make sure. No, no, no. Wait a minute. Well, he's coming to his senses, one eye. I'm waiting, Holly. If I help you, what then? I let you alone, of course. You got my word. Look, do it this way, then. I'll arrange to work overtime tomorrow night. You tie me up and rob the safe. I can say you got there while the safe was unlocked and took me by surprise. All right, that's the way we'll do it. But remember, you pull anything tricky neither your wife nor you will live to tell it. Now, get on back to town. All right. Let's get back to the hideout. Get up. A short time later, the bone ranger and tautel went to the outskirts of town where the masked man waited while tautel went to the cafe for news. Then they started back to their camp. As they rode along the trail that led into the hills, they heard fast hoofbeats approaching around a bend ahead. Someone's coming down the trail. Turn off into that a royal until he goes by. All right, hurry. And he bright. Kimus hubby, that look like fella, me see leave in town when we go to cafe while go in ride black horse with white forelegs. Seems to be in a hurry to get back to town. All right, let's go, tautel. As the long ranger and tautel approached the place where the trail divided, a sudden gust of wind blew a small piece of paper into the air that flattened against the mask man's chest. This piece of paper that blew against me needs to be a note, tautel. Who's got hope? I'll strike a match and look at it. Read this tunnel. It's bad. Maybe fella, we see riding to town. Get note. I thought of that. They came out here to meet the one who wrote it. Notes say fella once belonged to gang. I'd say he's an outlaw who's gone straight, tautel. The gang is after him again. They turn around and follow the trail, the rider who passed us. The light from the moon was bright enough so that the long ranger and tautel were able to follow Jim Holly's trail. When I finally reached the Holly place near the edge of town, the two men pulled to a halt in the shadows behind the house. Right here where the horse is, tautel. I'm going around the front door. I want to talk to the man who received that note. Me wait. Meantime inside the house, Jim paced the floor nervously as he spoke to his wife, Mary. Mary, I want you to go stay with your friend, Mrs. Harris. Why should I do that, Jim? I don't understand. I'll explain everything later, honey. I'll pick you up the dorm with a buckboard and our luggage. We're going to drive over to Austin. All right, Jim, but I'm worried. After Mary went into the back room, Jim went from window to window, peering out cautiously. As he looked from the front window, he saw a figure come up the porch steps. Come in. Reach you and quick. Reach. Just a minute. I came here. I don't know why you came to the house, but I know one I had your planet outside watching. Keep your hands up and go outside. I'll be right behind you. If you make one false move, Mr. I'll shoot you in the back. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. Boxer, Ben, fight hard and fair. So in the ring, you kids beware. He's dynamite because he knows he's got go power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got go power. There he goes. He's feeling his Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios. The cereal everybody loves. No other cereal looks like Cheerios. It shaped like little letter O's. No other cereal tastes like Cheerios. It's the only ready to eat cereal with this fresh toasted out flavor. No other cereal is like Cheerios. You see, Cheerios is made from oats and every delicious spoonful of Cheerios and milk is real muscle building food. Each spoonful contains vitamins, minerals and proteins your body needs. Yes, the good things in a Cheerios breakfast do good things for your body. Help you have healthy nerves, good red blood, strong bones and muscles have Cheerios every morning. Then you'll hear people say he's feeling his Cheerios. Now to continue. When the loon ranger answered Jim Holly's invitation to enter his house, the masked man found himself facing Jim's gun. Jim ordered the visitor to go outside with his hands raised. Toto waiting in back of the house caught a glimpse of them in the moonlight. The Indian quickly and silently circled around toward the grove. Meantime Jim and the masked man reached the trees and stopped. All right, this will do. You're making a mistake. The reason for talk. One eye is the ombre you made the mistake by letting me know I was being watched. Well, what now? First you'll drop your guns. Then we'll show you drop a gun. I should have known there'd be two of you. Good enough. Well now that you turn the tables on me, I suppose I told you that you were making a mistake. We're not outlawed. That a mess as you are. One I told me to get to the point and forget the mask. You went to meet one eye after you received a note from him, didn't you? Sure. And the fact that you know about it means it means that we found the note and trailed you here to get information. Well, what are you going to do now? Listen, we've been hunting for one eye and his gang. I know now that you're in trouble. If you're willing to trust us, perhaps we can help you. How? First, tell me what hole one eye has over you and why you wanted to talk to you. Well, I reckon telling you won't matter one way or the other. My name is Jim Hawley. A few years ago. Briefly, Jim told the Lone Ranger and Tato about himself and about his meeting with one eye that night. Finally, he reached the end of his story. Jim, you'll still be able to live here and keep your job. If you go along with the plan I've thought out to trap one eye on his gang. All right. I'll do it. Good. Let's go inside, Jim. We'll discuss the plan I have in mind. After the Lone Ranger and Tato went into the house with Jim Hawley, the figure of a man eased out of the shadows across the street and hurriedly made his way to the hitch rack in front of the cafe. There he mounted a horse and rode quickly out of town. Later in his hideout check, one eye killer listened to the same man who told the outlaw chief what he had seen outside of Hawley's home. Wait a minute. You say there was a white horse in the paint. Yeah, that's right. The mask come brave with an Indian, huh? There's a mask man and an Indian who work on the side of the law. The mask man is called the Lone Ranger. I've heard of him. Maybe he's planning with Hawley to trap the gang somehow. Now you're talking sense. That's exactly what I think he's planning. We're going to change our plans and put one over on that snooping Lone Ranger. How are you going to do it? Get the gang together and I'll tell them all what we're going to do. Both Hawley and that masked man will be in for a big surprise. Later that night, after the Lone Ring, Jiren Totto had left, Jim Hawley sat talking to his wife, Mary. Mary, now you know the whole story. You won't have to leave here as long as we have that masked man and Indian helping me. Maybe one of them came back to tell me something more. Hi there, Hawley. You want in, Sandy? Oh, wait a minute. You shut up. We're in. Close the door, Sandy. Sure. What do you want? Why did you come here like this? One eye said the plan was for the morning. Stop trying to bluff your way out of this, Hawley. Let's say one eye changed his mind. Him and the others are waiting in the grove behind the express office. You're coming there with us. And so is your wife, Savvy. But why? Shut up and get moving, you double crosser. Bring the woman, Sandy. We'll walk him along behind the building so he won't be seen. Let's go. When the Lone Ranger and Totto had left Hawley's house, they had looked around for anyone who might be spying on Jim. Not finding anyone, the masked man had instructed Totto to wait in the shadows behind the house while he watched the front from a grove across the street. A few minutes after Lou and Sandy, the two outlaws had entered Jim's place, Totto heard a night bird. That's signal from Lone Ranger and it means something wrong. We circled around the grove. In a short time, the Indian reached the grove where the Lone Ranger was waiting. Why do you give signal, Kim and Savvy? Two men went into Hawley's house. They walked between the building just down the street. Then take Jim and wife, Kim and Savvy. I know. We're waiting, Totto. They lead us to one eye killer. All right, Totto. We'll lead the horses and go on the foot after them. Come on. Meantime, one eye grinned maliciously as Jim and Mary were brought before him. Good work, Lou. Listen, Hawley. You're going inside right now and unlock the safe. Then open the back door for us. No, by Sunroof. Shut up. We'll keep your wife here with us to make sure you go through with it. Now get going, Hawley. Lou will go along with you just to make sure. The Lone Ranger and Totto had managed to approach close enough without their presence being known. Realizing the gang's intention, the masked man spoke hurriedly. All right, I'd note and wrap it around the silver bullet. You take it at the sheriff right away. Me do it. When the gang left the grove and went into the express office, Sandy was left to watch Mary Hawley as they stood there talking a shadowy figure move toward them. One eye always figures that dead men tell no tears. And dead women, too, for that matter. No. No, he wouldn't dare kill us. He would, and am I way of thinking he will. One eye won't kill anybody. Hey, wait, quiet, Jim. You. Oh, thank him. There's no time to lose, Mary. Help untie the outlaw's horses quickly. The Lone Ranger and Mary quickly untie the horses. Then scatter them. Get up, Mary. Good. Now, Mary, get away from here. He's bound to be shooting. But, Jim... He'll be all right. I'll be at the Harris' house. Tell Jim, please. All right, leave now. Hurry. I'll get to the back door and make sure no one gets out until help arrives. Inside the office, one eye and the others cleaned out the safe. Then one eye spoke. All right, fellas. Looks like we got everything worth taking. Bring that double crossing. Let's get out of here. All right, get Holly out of here first, Lou. Right. Go on, Holly. As Jim, with Lou holding a gun at his back, left the doorway and went down a few back steps, a shot rang out. Oh, my wrist! A bullet grazed Lou's wrist, causing him to drop his gun at the same time a voice called out. Jim, go up down alongside the porch quickly. Right. Hey, it must be the masked man. Throw that at him. I'm a finished killer. Climb the door. Shoot out the windows. As the outlaws withdrew inside, Jim crawled along the building and reached a place of safety. Then he circled around to the tree behind which the lone ranger was covering the back door. Good work, mister. But they'll get out the front way. Here comes the sheriff and some of these men. Watch out. They're shooting from the back windows. You're the masked man who sheds that note. Some of the men are around front. One eye can't get away now. Heat the bullets, Brian, man. Realizing that without one eye's leadership, the outlaws would soon give up. The lone ranger crouched low, then crept up unnoticed to the back of the building. He moved along until he was under the back window. Then, rising suddenly, he fired through the window at one eye-color, wounding him in the leg. No! A few minutes later, the back door opened cautiously and a white handkerchief was waved as a token of surrender. Hey, one of them was waving a white cloth. Come out, all of you, with your hands up. Three of them coming out. They'll keep the wounded ones covered from the windows while a couple of men go in and get all the guns. I'll keep them covered, Sheriff. A few minutes later, the guns had been gathered and the Sheriff and his men went inside to get the rest of the outlaws. There's them all, Sheriff. Yeah, one eye and his gang'll hang. That's killer lion there, Sheriff. He forced me to open the safe and was gonna kill Marion me. Don't let him play innocent, Sheriff. He used to be one of my gang before he came here. Sheriff, when you get the whole story, you'll know I'm not a crook. The masked man understands. Don't get excited, Jim. I've explained the whole situation. The Sheriff knows the truth. That's right. You will not have to worry. We'll get Keller and the others to jail and get their wounds attended to. Good thing for Jim and Mary you were around, Mr. We're glad we could be of help, Sheriff. One eye and his kind won't be tolerated here in the West. Well, we'll be on our way now. Adios, Sheriff. Goodbye, Mr. Thanks. Oh, gosh, he sure is a mighty fine hombre, Sheriff. You know, even though he did so much for Mary and me, we still don't know who he is. Well, I know, and I'll bet killer knows, too. Most outlaws here in the West sooner or later get to hear about that masked hombre and to find out that he's the Lone Ranger.
