With his faithful Indian companion, Tato, the daring and resourceful masquerader 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 the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The lone ranger rides again. Come on Silver, let's go big time. I'll Silver! The lone ranger and Tato camped for the night east of Boonton, Kansas, where unaware that the notorious Pete Daggett's outlaw gang was camped in the hills west of the town, preparing to stage a daring raid. The outlaws camp faced the trail to Fort Manning, an eight-hours ride to the west. Daggett and his pals, Slim Randall and Reb Collins, sat apart from the seven other members of the gang. Slim was relating what he and Reb had learned on their visit to Boonton earlier that night. Pete, you got your information straight. Lieutenant Kingston and five privates from the ford are in Boonton with a wagon. All the people in town know they're going to pick up supplies when the train from Kansas City gets in tomorrow morning. What they don't know, but what we do, is that those soldiers will be picking up a three-month Army payroll, too. Yeah, we like to have a voice. Hey, boys. Tomorrow everything goes as planned. We ambush the Army wagon, grab the money in it, and head south for the hideout. All right, then. Give it to them. Attack on the Army train next morning. Call the young soldiers by surprise. Two of them fell wounded before they could reach for their guns. The other three, afforded protection by the wagon, shot five of the crooks before they fell before the bullets of Pete Daggett and the remaining members of his gang. Daggett's Slim Randall and Reb Collins, with two crooks called Hank and Rigger, searched among the crates inside the wagon. Pete Daggett himself found the large canvas bag which contained the money. Hey, boys, here it is, the Army payroll. The Tvammul ship. Hey, Pete, what about our boys who got hit? What are we going to do with them? Leave them. Get up, get up, get up! Get up, get up, get up! More than three hours passed. The lone ranger and toddler riding through the wooded hills that overlooked the trail to Fort Manning ring their horses sharply at the sight they saw below. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, that's an army wagon in the middle of the trail. Ah, and look another side of the road. Men lie on ground. Those two soldiers walking around with the wagon are bandaged. Hello, let's ride down there. What's going on? Get your hands up! What's going on here? Who are those men? Lieutenant Kingston. Hello there. Well, what do you know? Hello, Tennant. You know these colors? Yes. Lower your gun, Private Phillips. Gentlemen, get your hands down. Thanks. Just a round, Totto. He's a big fella. Phillips, these men are friends of Colonel Holland. I met them at the fort last year. Lieutenant Kingston told of the ambush and payroll robbery. He explained that he had revived first and had treated his men and himself. Private Phillips and Carroll, less seriously wounded than the other two soldiers, helped give first aid to the outlaws who now lay on blankets at the side of the road. Kingston finished his story by saying We emptied the wagon with supplies and put our men inside. We'll pick up the supplies another time. Well, you do the same with the outlaws. Yes, but first we'll tie them up. The outlaws is coming, too. He's trying to talk. Ah, thanks, Carol. Let's go and see him. Right. Water. Give me water. Mr. Hubby, look. That's Curly Roberts. I don't know what it is. Lieutenant, I have my canteen here. I'll give him water. Water. I know who is Curly Roberts. Oh, him. Plenty bad ombre. He belonged to Daggett gang. We sent him to prison one time. Curly, here you are. I'll drink this slowly. Thanks. Thanks. Did you get him? Get home. Daggett. Those other coyotes. Did you hear that, Lieutenant? No, Curly. We didn't get them because we didn't go after them. Oh, that's too bad. Lieutenant, may I handle this? Curly. Go right ahead. Curly, you seem disappointed that Daggett and your pals escaped. Oh, those gunk-starred pals. They left us here to die. They... You're... you're a mess, man, with a white horse. You sent me to jail. I only helped to do that. Curly, do you want me to get Daggett? You... Hey, hey, maybe you could. Yeah, you could. I intend to try, Curly. Where is Daggett heading? To the hideout. Down the Tremor. Tremor in the Indian territory? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, who are the four men with Daggett? They're... they're ribbed... ribbed columns. Ribbed columns, huh? I know him by sight. Who else? Limb Randolin. In the paint. Is he dead? No, Lieutenant. Just unconscious. Place him and his pals in the wagon. Take them to the fort. Phillips, you drive the wagon. Yes, sir. I'll remain inside and keep a watch on our men and the prisoners. Carol? Yes, sir. Detailed report to Colonel Holland and tell him we have reason to believe that Daggett and his men have gone to a place somewhere near Tremor, in Indian territory. Yes, Lieutenant. Please have Private Carol tell the Colonel we'll try to locate Daggett's hideout before his soldiers get to Tremor. Wheel trap. I'm talking about Tutto and me. Tutto, please get our horses. We're going after the Daggett gang. During their flight southward through Indian territory, Pete Daggett and his outlaws rested but little. And so two nights later, they reached their hideout near the isolated town of Tremor. Slim Randolin and Reb Collins rode into Tremor and entered Jim Kuyber's Ace High Cafe for supplies. Minutes later, amid a grove of trees at the edge of Tremor's main street, the lone ranger and tattle reigned their horses. Very big. They had taken the revengeful Curly Robert's word that Daggett and his gang would head for their hideout and so the masked man and Indian had written directly to the outlaw town. When they dismounted, Tutto said, He must have a... we not what, catch up with outlaws on trail. You think maybe they're here already? Probably. Well, we'll soon find out. But first, we must find hideout. Yes, and we can't waste time. I know we'll start by making a round of the cafes here. We may be able to pick up information about Daggett. You wear cowboy disguise? Yes, it's the simplest one. And I'll wear my pistols in gunslinger fashion. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. All over the country in every direction How you, how you do it is a question and you want to have the happy people have to say Weedies Weedies Weedies That's the word up north. Just ask the champions. Up north, we know what weedies mean. To guys like Slug and Harvey Keene. We love to see him belt that ball and make the fielders climb the wall. And Richie Ashburn, yes, indeed. He plays baseball at Weedies speed. Just watch him flash from base to base. This boy could win in any race. Yes, sir. Harvey Keene and Richie Ashburn are long time Weedies fans. Both of them know there's a whole kernel of wheat in every Weedies flake. Weedies breakfast of champions. Weedies Weedies Weedies Weedies Now to continue. The disguised Lone Ranger and Tonto left their horses in the grove and went to visit the first of the cafes that dotted Traymore's Main Street. Finally, they passed through the doors that proclaimed Jim Kiber's Ace High Cafe. They stood inside the entrance a few moments and studied the men at the bar. Then they walked to a table near the side door and sat down. This is the toughest looking place we've been in so far. Ah, Clinty Band Ombry standard bar. Yes, they look like a living rogues gallery. But then Kiber always gated to bad men. I recall his place in Laredo. He ran one of the worst. You're a zombie. You're come waiter. He's not a waiter, Tonto. This is Kiber himself. He's got a character. So when the pole can't reach for his gun I drew mine before he could even... Your friend's looking for somebody? Maybe I am looking for somebody. Why? I saw you come in a few minutes ago and I noticed the way you was wearing your gun belt. What's wrong with my belt? I can spot a gun slinger a mile off. Yeah, so can I. This place is full of them. Maybe. But I know who they are and I know they're not gunning for anybody in here. Meaning that I am? I saw the way you and the red skin looked around when you come in. You've been doing the same thing since you sat down. You're looking for somebody. I can see that. Suppose we are. Doesn't mean we're gunning for them. Well, you better not be in my place. What? Your place? Well, what do you know about that? So, you're Jim Kiber, are you? Yeah, I'm Jim Kiber and what's so funny? You're just the man I wanted to see. That's all. I want to locate Pete. I know a lot of Pete. Pete who? Daggett. Pete Daggett, huh? You know him? I've known Pete a long time. When he left Kansas a few days ago to come here, I said I'd come down here too. I may be able to get you some information. You stay right there now. You go fast. That's strange. Yes, Tuddle. He's suspicious for some reason or else. Look, he's stopping at that table in the far corner. He talked to the man with back turn to us. He's thinking talk about us. See, him nod head over this way. One of the men he's talking to is turning around. Tuddle, that's Slim Randall. And he must have a you guess right. Daggett gang back in town already. Randall's getting up from his chair. He's talking to the man with him. Hello? This could mean trouble. And what we do, King? Prepare for the trouble before it happens. He'll open window to the front. Slip out the side door quickly. Get to that window and cover me from the outside. Tuddle rose quickly and darted through the side doorway. A plan of action was forming in the Lone Ranger's mind as he remained seated adjusting his gun holsters for ready use. He watched Jim Kiber approach and the guys were centered on him. Their hands hung loosely near their guns. They stopped grim-lipped as they reached the table and allowed Jim Kiber to do the talking. Oh, you're a friend of Pete Daggett, sir. Are you a stranger? No. I told you I was looking for Daggett. I didn't mention the word, friend. Wait a second. You said you were in Kansas with him. I said we were in Kansas. I didn't say we were together. Jim, this is a real wise ombre. Maybe you better let me talk to him. Don't waste your breath, Slim. What, Slim? You said back there you never saw this fella before. But he knows you. I know you too, mister. What? Reb Collins is the name, isn't it? What's going on? Both of you helped Daggett ambush the army detail near Bhutan. Slim, how could he know that? You robbed the payroll and you left Curly Roberts in your palace to die. Well, what's he talking about? You wouldn't know about it, Jim. And I can't figure out how this ombre does either. Curly Roberts told me. What? He didn't die, Slim. I talked to him where you left him and the others. I promised Curly. I'd get Daggett for what he did. Curly Pal, huh? Well, fella, your promise was always... Don't go. No, I'll blow you up. Please, agree of your... All right, don't kill him. Real fast, aren't you, strangers? Fast enough. Shut the gun right out of my hand. Next time, I'll aim at you. This is a personal affair. They better keep out of it. Oh, that's big talk. My Indian friend outside the window will back it by shooting the first man who tries to interfere. Khyber looked toward the window and saw Tautu with a gun ready for use. His manner changed. Slim, look, somebody's your problem. Get him out of here. Yeah, but how are we... I'm leaving, Slim. Now that I know Daggett's back in town, I'll go and get him and the money. Oh, you hear that, Slim? He's going after the money. I'm leaving. Hello? Cover me. Don't try to leave here until five minutes after I've gone. If you do, you'll see. As the three bad men watched an ill-concealed fury, the disguised lone ranger withdrew through the side door of the cafe. After a few seconds, Slim Randall started to move, but Tautu still outside the window set a shot close to his head. Hey! Slim, don't try to find out that that engine can come closer. Stay here like that fellow said. Minutes passed before the outlaws moved and ran into the streets. There was no one in sight. Get up! Get up! Get up! The outlaws mottled and sped through the main street to the edge of town, then veered from the road and started along a narrow path that led past a grove of trees. When they had covered less than a hundred yards, a masked man and Indian rode slowly from the grove. Hold it. Hold it. Count. Can I go for the hideout, Tautu? Just as I thought they would. That's followed. Come on, Tautu! At the hideout, outlaws Hank and Rigger had gone to sleep after Slim Randall and Rev Collins left for Tremor. Pete Daggett had pretended to sleep too. Like the others, he lay wrapped in a blanket on the floor. A few hours passed before deep snores assured Daggett that Hank and Rigger were sound asleep. Then he arose. Lighted a lantern and removed the canvas money bag from its hiding place in the closet. Moving quietly, he took the bag and started to tiptoe toward the door. And at that moment, the door burst open, revealing an excited Slim Randall and Rev Collins. Pete, he didn't get here yet, did he? Who? The gunslinger. Rev. Hold it. Pete, that's the money bag you've got there. What's going on? Shut up, Hank. Pete, you were leaving with the money bag. Rigger, Rigger, wake up! What's the matter with you? You crazy? I was just taking this bag. What are you guys up to? Oh, dressing ready to leave. Pete, you had the money bag. Rigger! Rigger! What's happened? Hey, Rigger. Well, we were sleeping these three got together double cruises. Look at him, sneaking up with the money. Hank, you're local. Slim and I just come in. That's right, Hank. Stop pointing your gun. You too, Rigger. I'll put away your gun and listen to it. No, I can see what's happened, too. Hank, I'm with you. Hey, surely you are, Rigger. We're not going to end up like Curley and the rest. All right, Pete, drop that bag. Sure. Sure, I'll drop it. Oh, Hank, drop the bag. You're reaching for his gun as he grabbed Rev Collins and held him as a shield. Hey, Pete, what are you doing? At the same moment, Hank fired. But the bullet hit Collins instead of Pete Daggett. As Collins fell, Daggett's pistol blazed. He emptied his pistol and Hank and Rigger fell. Then Daggett turned on Slim Randall, who stood transfixed by the sudden unbelievable turn in events. Slim, what's the matter? Are you too yellow to draw? Oh, Pete, don't shoot. I came here. Hey, hey, hey, you gave me the die. The way it should be. All the money now. I don't think you will, Daggett. What's up? A mask man. Oh, you used all your bullets. Did you, Daggett? Randall, you not move. Raise hands. All right, engine there. Mask man, what are you going to do? I'll not use my gun because your empty hand is... No, I'm not. I'll get you. Try and draw a sleeve knife, will you? I suppose you try a fist instead like this. And this. And this. I dropped the knife. Stop. Stop. You're killing me. No, Daggett or Rope will do that. But this will hold you for a while. All right, fellow. I'll tie this, fellow. You take care of Randall. Randall, you turn round. Sure, go ahead. Tie me up. I'm going to be glad to get out of this thing alive. Hank, Rigger and Rev Collins were dead. They needed no attention. But as the mask man and Indian bound Daggett and Randall, the lone ranger said... Keep them all here in this hideout. Soldiers from Fort Manning should have started out about eight hours after we did. They should arrive sometime tomorrow. But hold the road outside Tremor and keep an eye out for them, fellow. It was late afternoon on the following day when Totto met the detachment of soldiers heading toward Tremor and revealed the surprising news of Daggett's capture and the recovery of the Army payroll. Colonel Holland, jubilant at the news, gave orders for his men to follow him. What? Where the bills, Colonel? The entire payroll is there. I can't believe this. We have the Daggett gang. All of them? And Slim Randall gave us the name of the man who told Daggett about the payroll. I'll see that he's arrested when we get back to Kansas. And most important, sir, is the capture of Daggett. The survivors of his gang are ready to testify against him. Colonel, if the Army wants to rid Indian territory of its worst elements, it'll send men to clean out the town of Tremor. Leave me. That's going to be done. Good. We'll leave the rest to you, sir. Come on, Talon. Adios, sir. Adios! But wait. I'd like to thank you. Tal Lutinen, he doesn't want our thing. Let him go. We'll meet him again if things get bad. You'll see. How can you be sure of that, Colonel? Because, Lutinen, I've been in the West long enough to know that when you're in great trouble, you can always depend on the Lone Ranger.
