 A fiery horse with a speed of light, a clod of dust, and a hearty high old silver! The Lone Ranger! Full Indian companion title. The daring and resourceful mass writer 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 the greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Last come the thundering hoof beats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again! Full Silver! Here's Red Conway's band of outlaws had terrorized smaller towns and always had managed to escape unscathed. Get up there. Then one day they rolled into the town of Coldwater and flew up in front of the bank. Conway singled out one of his men, Dave Chester. You stand guard outside. All right, Red. If anything's wrong, I'll yell. A bunch of men we passed up the street gave it a mighty big look over. Yeah, I saw them. All right, then let's go inside. The two bank employees were quickly overpowering. The thieves shooped up all the cash inside and were about to enter the club when Dave Chester shouted a warning from the doorway. Hold them off, Dave. We gotta get the cash in the vault. Come on, we're closing in fast! Come on! All right, get the horses, man. Hurry! I'll stand them up to your mark. You men get going. But Dave can't. We gotta save him. Red Conway, the outlaw, didn't know the meaning of loyalty. Rather than risk his own freedom, he rode away with his gang with no thought of the wounded man. The thieves rode hard until they reached a place where they would be reasonably secure. Then Red held up his hand to signal a halt. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Well, we... we gave him a flip, boys. But it was a close one. Red, we shouldn't have left Dave Chester. There wasn't a right to do that. Ah, he was done for. He was done for. They got him right through the chest. If we'd have helped him, we'd have all been caught. Yeah, maybe so. Yeah, we'd better keep moving. There'll be a party after us in no time. All right, let's divvy up the cash first and then separate. Where will we join up again, Red? Look, remember that old range hideout we used near Coppertown a couple of years ago? The place where you waited when Dave Chester went to see his wife? Yeah, that's the one. We'll join up there. Red, why are you going up there? To see Dave Chester's widow. She knows too much. Now that Dave's been killed, she might decide to tell the law what she knows. I forgot about her. Dave, you ride with me. Rest of you embrace, wait at the hideout. Two days later, Dan Reed, the lone ranger's 14-year-old nephew, was going by train to Coppertown to meet the masked man in Tahoe. He introduced himself to a boy about two years younger than himself. My name's Dan Reed. What's yours? Uh, Dick Chester. Are you going to Coppertown? Yes, I'm going to join Fred's camp near there. I can't meet my father there. I've been in a boarding school. Oh. They wrote me a letter to meet him in Coppertown. I haven't seen him in a couple of months. You know what he says? A big bank robbery. All the paper, son? All about the big robbery in Coldwater? Yes, I'll take one. Here's your money. There you are. Thank you. Pray to all about the big bank robbery. I'll spread it out so we can both bring it. Yeah. No. No, I can't. It's true. What's the matter, Dick? It's the law. It's not true. Calm down. What's wrong? My game. And I was... And they killed him. But let me see. Yeah, he's right there. One of the escaping bandits was shot and killed by a townsman. He's been identified as Dave Chester who has been shot by the law. Oh, but, Dick, maybe this isn't your father. It might be another man with the same name. I'm afraid you're wrong, Dick. Dick, there's always a problem. They never told me where he went or why. A couple of months ago, a man named Conway called for him. They went away together. Golly, that's tough. I know how you feel. Have you any other relatives? No. My mother died a long time ago. I have no other relatives. Maybe my friend can help you. Stick with me when we get to Copper Town. No, Dan. Thanks, you see. I don't want to cause any trouble. There won't be any trouble at all. I don't want anyone to help me. I'll get along. All right, if you want to be stubborn. Here we are, Dick. Get yourself up. When he didn't find the Indian, he persuaded Dick Chester to accompany him to the livery stable to see if Tonto had left a horse. It was just about then when Tonto rolled into the Lone Ranger's camp not far from town. Hello, where's Dan? Me not waiting for Dan. Me leave Dan's horse in the livery stable. When Dan and I see me, him look there for a horse. Why did you come here? Here, newspaper. Oh. You tell them about bank robbery. Outlaw killed. The Lone Ranger took the newspaper and read the account of the bank robbery in cold water and of the death of Dave Chester, the outlaw. Well, they finally killed Dave Chester. Not right. Him plenty bad outlaw. Me think you won't know about robbery, Tonto. You're right, Tonto. Me leave note in Dan's saddle bag. Tell how we find our camp. Well, he should be here soon. I heard the train whistle for Copper Town a few minutes ago. Me here, too. Here's over. Is there a big fellow while I settle you up? Where you go, came with me? Easy now, Silver. Dave Chester was married to a woman who lives only a few miles from here. He deserted her. And all of them could never get information from her about her husband. Easy, Silver, easy. I think she was afraid to talk. Oh. Now that Chester's dead, she may be willing to tell what she knows about his gang. You mean Red Conway? Yes, fellow I do, Steady Silver. There it is. Tight enough. Need a big fellow. Wait here in camp for Dan, Tonto. Come, Silver! You're all right, Mrs. Chester. I suppose you're one of Red Conway's back trailers. You're wrong, Mrs. Chester. See, I'm not an outlaw. Then who are you? Why'd you come here? You had an uncle who was a lawman. Didn't you? Yes, I did. What about it? Did he ever show you one of these? A bullet. Yes. A Silver bullet. Do you ride with an Indian, Mr.? Yes. His name is Tonto. Let me take a look at your horse. Yeah. He's all white right enough. And his name is Silver. I guess you're not lying. You're the lone ranger. Come on inside. Thank you, ma'am. What brings you here? Have you seen this newspaper? No. Read this. Now Chester read the account of the bank of the Red Conway. Now Chester read the account of the bank robbery and the death of her husband without emotion. When she had finished, she handed the paper to the masked man. I knew it would happen someday. I'm not surprised. Where will Conway and his gang hide out? I can't answer that for sure. But there are a lot of things I'd like to tell you. Why don't you tell me? I'm afraid. Of Conway? Yes. If I talk, he might harm my son. I didn't know you had a son. That's why I haven't helped the law before. See, where is he? I don't know. Dave took Dick away from me five years ago when he joined Red Conway's gang. I haven't seen him since. Dave said if I ever talked to the law, I'd never see Dick again. Won't Dick come here when he learns that your husband has been killed? He doesn't know where I live. I was impressed with him when Dave took him away. If you could only find Dick for me, then I could talk. I'd tell you everything I know about Conway's gang. This is Chester. You may hear from Conway. If you do, get all the information you can from him. He may tell us something that will help find Dick. I'll see you again. Adios. Goodbye. Good-bye. The old ranger found Dan Reed waiting in camp with Toto. The boy told about his meeting with young Chester on the train. Why didn't you bring him here then? He wouldn't come with me, sir. He said he'd make his own way in the world without help. Do you know where he went when he arrived in Coppertown? Yes, he went with me to the livery stable. We got a job there. Not much of a job, but at least he won't starve. Well, he was lucky to find work. Well, the stablekeeper said he needed a boy. He offered to feed Dick and let him sleep in the stable for just helping out. Then I want to see him at once. I've got to take him someplace. But he won't go with you, sir. He will when he knows where I'm taking him. I don't understand. I want to take him to his mother. What? He told me his mother's dead. No, she's very much alive. I just came from her home. Oh, come on. This will sure be a surprise to him. May I go with you, sir? Yes, Dan. Dick will trust me when you tell him who I am. Oh, Toto. I'll write a note explaining things. Please take it to Mrs. Chester while Dan and I go for his son. Dick Chester was alone and proud of the importance of his new position. He felt responsible for all the horses in the stable and for the business of his employer. When he saw two men draw rain, he came from the light of the interior with a friendly smile on his face. Oh, God! He's dead either. Where's his table mask? He's gone home. He won't be back. Unencharged for the night. He can feed our horses, but don't unsabble. We'll be back after we get something to eat. Maybe have an hour. What? Medicated. Oh, nothing. Just wait here while you get back. hold on where you're going I'll be right back grab my ready nose is coming to you. You come here under the land and kid I want to look at you. I thought your face was familiar. You know the kid read Dave Chessers boy names they smoke I wonder you recognize you when he was going for the law knows out about that give me a real feet and what are you going to do to gag him and tie him and we'll stuff him into a feed then we're no one will find him back for him after we've seen the way to hurry up before someone comes in. I get the rope going in there. Well that's yeah I'll let the little man in there deep in. All I got in there is that'll keep him quiet first and I'll now get my money I thought we were going to eat we're going to see the kids. I got. A curtain falls on the first act of our long range of adventure before the next exciting things please permit us to pause us for just a few moments long range you're lost no time in writing to copper town with where the chest or a phone work. This mother's alive going to be more surprised to hear that he will see his mother was in the next hour inside Dan Reed and the mask man looked around the light of the people what's on the sign of the chester I'll call him a room down there in office yet. Here for the cafe for supper look on the desk then dirty dishes someone had supper here I remember the stable man said he was going to bring this to him maybe went out on an errand that's possible he might be in the haylock. Hey you up there. He might have fallen off the ladder. Well we're sure one thing Dan because not in the delivery stable wonder where we can find him you suppose someone else a little about his mother living nearby I'm going to find out I'll ride to his mother's house and see if he's there you wait here in case he returns right now I'll see you later all right. . While Red and Pete arrived at Nell Chester's home. Soon find out. Red Conway what do you want to step inside for a few minutes now come in Pete the door behind you what do you want to. Surprise to see us on now no I'm not surprised. In fact I was sort of expecting. How come when I heard about what had happened today but I thought you'd come here to tell me all about it who told you about day what was in the paper who brought you the paper it couldn't have been the lone ranger could it now what I said it couldn't have been the lone ranger who told you about it could what makes you think he'd come here to tell me what are you talking about like this red playing here on the table you see that a bullet a silver bullet only one man uses silver bullets the lone ranger where is he now I don't know.

Now you open the door yes I'll open the door to my red let's get out of the way I'm getting behind the door and me got message from a man let me have it quickly and go so you don't. Why are you drunk on me if your hands hide your mouth shut I'll come here and please don't kill him don't I won't kill him. That's until he tells you we can find the lone ranger close the door he said he had a message red and I know I aim to see it to give me that note well what to say. Smoke listen I found your son I shall bring him to your short on the kid how do you do that I'm the man find the kidding to me not talk you won't talk well you don't have to your best friend said you'll be here proud of it and when he gets here we'll be waiting for him please he's bringing my boy to me don't kill him when he gets here to. Get a rope we're tying gag these two and we'll be ready to deal with a mask man and the kid when they get here I get a rope from my saddle you better take the horses out of sight to the lone ranger see me might get suspicious right. After they have tied and gagged Mrs. Chester and Tuttle Red Conway and Pete Davis went outside the house. He came into the door he wouldn't come but me and wait for him outside and like to know how he found the kid in the feet then. So would I. Someone's coming get coming get your hands off well make up your mind but you are there shall I obey. My hands are up now what we're taking inside. Open the door please do the coming through the window while his captors were in darkness he knew that a move for his guns would mean death he obeyed their commands. One last move out of you know really. That's fine I'll stop for you. Mr. Chester yeah but they're not in a position to help you Mr. You better answer a question. What is it I do find that kid in the liver he's stable. What do you mean you know what I mean you found him where is he where is he I didn't find it why you sent a note by the Indian saying you found a kid that you were bringing him here you better tell us where he is if you know what's good for you and how you found him in that seat bed. Now where is he if I knew I wouldn't tell you all right. You just suit yourself we'll find out. Get his gun feet and take off his mask. Concentrated their attention on the mask man and paid little key to total who lay bound and helpless on the floor nearby. They also failed to catch the significant glances that had passed between the Indian and the Lone Ranger. Total would slowly drawn his knees upward as if to ease his discomfort but as Pete advanced to take the Lone Rangers gun the Indians bound feet shot out tripping the outlaw. Get the last one as Pete to the floor the Lone Ranger grab for his gun first and only shot knocked out the light plunging the room into darkness. We might hear each other get the mask right or find him. The Lone Ranger jerked his knife on his belt and flashed at the ropes and found Tothal as he did he whispered to the Indian take the money. Mr. Chester they're out the rear door. He do it. I'll keep strike a match. Get a light in here so we can fight it. I'll let him drill up some off me. Get a light up. Get a light and what's the door. The Lone Ranger carefully judged the location of Red Conway voice. He leaps for the outlaw. In the darkness Pete's gun bleeds several times as he tried to find the mask man with a firing high to avoid hitting Red Conway whom he knew has fallen to the floor but the Lone Ranger had dropped low flanges he was crawling toward the flashes of the heavy six guns. Now your gun is empty. We can finish this. The Lone Ranger knew that both his adversaries were down and he hoped both were unconscious. Cautiously he struck a match and confirmed his judgment. While he watched to make sure neither of the men stirred from the floor he lighted the lamp on a nearby table. Then Tothal came from the rear. You take some pretty good came a tummy. You better get ropes on them before they regain consciousness. Oh you got them. You got Red Conway. Thank goodness for that. Mr. Chester they said something about your son being in the feed delivery stable what they mean by that I don't know but I'm going to find out I can't tell me yes I mean what's going to come this way as I hear them. I'll see who he is. She is bored. Conway there. He looked in the ground on the floor. All of them on board something wrong in there. Get back Mr. Chester I'll bar this door. The back door. Get over the corner of the line of fire. Every bullet coming your way out to lighten up. The fire broke out suddenly. He came first from a distance and close at hand and was accompanied by excited cries of the fire. The Lone Ranger heard a cool window and thought that the outlaws were firing on a band of approaching horsemen. I think we have help. Oh that's the chef in the lead. That white horse. Look it's Dan Reed. Come on we'll open the door and get into this. Outlaws have turned their backs toward the cabin so they could take the oncoming coffee. When they heard the door open they turned what the Lone Ranger had his guns in play. Caught in the open before they could see cover and heavily outnumbered the outlaws realized that their only hope for life lay in surrender. They threw down their guns and the lawman quickly closed in while the sheriff's men handcuffed the prisoners. The sheriff followed Dan into the house. He pointed to the mask man and said it's your friend Dan. Yes sir. Hello sir. Come here. My boy. How did you find him down with all the seeds and bound and gank. I found it when I opened it to get out for a victim. The boy told Dan who tied him and said the crooks were headed here. He and then came to me and then we all came to the party that's red on the floor. Just beginning consciousness. They led just about complete surrounded. Those others open fire on us. I had a hunch that we can't wait again. I figured they'd come here. You'll take over now. You bet. A couple of you boys to be in here right now can't wait. Go along Dan. The horse is ready to go. Wait. Wait. Oh so much to you. Oh you do. That mask man. It hadn't been for him and for his young friend. How can we ever repay him. He wouldn't take any kind of payment. You see he is the one range.
