 Special Recording General Mills, Makers of Cheerios, the Oaks Cheerio, Ready to Eat and Sweeties Breakfast of Champions presents The Lone Ranger. Hi, hi, old Silver. The Lone Ranger. Companion Toto, the daring and resourceful mask-wipe of the planes 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. Return with us now to those twirling days of yesteryear.

Though the professor's dust-covered eastern clothing contrasted sharply with bulllegs from Pirapel. They were both fugitives from justice. Forgery, twindling and murder were the charges against them. As they blew rain, we thought an empty bottle. Bulllegs murmured. Horses and filler can't even say a word. Look, a jet driving a team in a wagon heading this way. He's coming from the east. Looks like he's going to Prairie Center too. It's a mighty big wagon. Bulllegs, look what's painted on the side of it. Rain makes him by an expert. He's out scantied. Rainmaker will get rich around here. There's no such thing as a rainmaker. It's a sign on the wagon. They don't care what it says on the wagon. That fellow's not on the level. I wonder if he has any water in his canteen. Oh! Oh! I'll keep them covered, Bulllegs. You get that canteen. Right. You mean to steal the only drinking water? Nothing without a canteen shouldn't bother a rainmaker. But if you've only a few got a rain that'd fill this water hole, then we could all drink as much as we want. Hey, Professor, I found the canteen. Bring it out. I tried to pull a gun. He's unconscious. I could've searched him before I went into the wagon. But I didn't figure he'd be carrying a sneak gun. I'd have his canteen here. I took a couple of swallows while I was inside the wagon. Is this all the water he had? Yep. Well, look, the last week, I heard that Indians didn't even wait, man, to be fooled that way. You're wrong, Bulllegs. A lot of people have been fooled by rain. You'll see for yourself. I'm posing as a couple of rainmakers. We'd be less avatars and farmers around here need rain mighty bad. Oh, much you think we could get. Five thousand. When we drive into Prairie Center, we'll have from the governor and a lot of prominent people swearing, looking people with a state seal on it. I'll turn out letters that'll convince everyone around here from the level. They'll tie seven horses to the back of the wagon and head for Prairie Center. We'll reach the empty water hole. Cash left to steal. They'll get away. Right while saving their life. Let me forget. When he waked in the next morning, the moon rang to question him. As he, sparingly of the nourishing food, father offered him. Jasper told all he knew about the professor and Bulllegs. Then the masked man said, Jasper, if you feel strong, if they move slow, I'll tell the sheriff about Bulllegs. We'll meet you later. I don't know who you are, but I'll never forget what you and Council have done for me. So now, when I'm turned over in New Leaf, I'll be a second chance, and by Thunder I'll make my boy blind up to Ronald. But he and Bulllegs were capable of delivering rain. Anxious to end the drought as quickly as possible, the people of the distressed community raised five thousand dollars. There was no bank in the town, so the money was placed in the hotel safe. With the understanding that the partners would be paid to let the professor plan to collect in advance. We were going to the hotel, forced the clerk to open the office safe, collect the cash, and clear out bulllegs. We're lucky the hotel's the only place in town with a safe to hold the money. It'll be a lot easier to steal it from the hotel safe than it would be to rob a bank. He trapped the money owner of the hotel with it to kill it. We'll let you have a cold shoot and move. All right. You'll take your mask, Brad, around here to raise five thousand dollars to be paid to them when they deliver the rain. Dad, you'll take us to it. That's a good idea. Go ahead, silver. Not to you, boys. We'll keep after a little bit. We'll find the shark. We'll leave the horses there. Professor and Bulllegs left there. The sheriff recognized the animals. Those critters belonged to Bulllegs' pension there. I saw the place lighted. I figured some rider had gone inside to get out of the way. I thought so too, Sheriff. I'm always surprised the professor needs friend. It concealed the approach of the lone ranger, Tautu and the sheriff. As the masked man opened the door of the shack, the professor gasped. The outlaw snatched guns from their holsters as Tautu and the sheriff entered. The lone ranger's cold scored. Two of her bullets smashed both weapons, but Bulllegs shot struck the sheriff. One staggered back with a bullet in the shoulder. For a moment, the lone ranger and Tautu looked from the outlaws to the wounded sheriff. In that instant, Bulllegs grabbed a knife from his belt and rushed toward the mask man. But a bullet stopped him in his tracks. Then he's the one who searched Bulllegs with the professor for the stolen money. The cash is in our saddlebags down on the floor. We'll take it. Where the prisoners sat on bunks behind bars. The loman grinned at the announce. I returned the money you stole to Pete Rapson and the folks who contributed to the rain-making party. So what? Everyone but Pete was downright surprised to hear you had nothing to do with bringing the rain. You're needing to rub it in. Until I told him what crook you were, everyone thought you were on the level. If the rain hadn't stopped us, we wouldn't have been caught. You couldn't have gotten away, professor. That's what you think. I knew you were finished. As soon as I found out, you were killed by the Lone Ranger. Learn in just a moment for a word about our next exciting Lone Ranger adventure, The Reinforcements. On your way. Get on your way with me. It's good to know that champions are made, not born. Give us all a chance. For instance, let's go back to 1943 and listen to the story of champion Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees. Mickey worked hard to learn the game. As he got on his way to fame, he practiced batting, learned to throw, but champions know, Wheaties for breakfast, away you go. No wonder Mickey's got all that steam. Mantle and Wheaties, they're still a team. While Mickey Mantle grew up on Wheaties, the medium since he was 12. So good for a guy. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties plate. Come on, Mickey. They came to warn of an Indian ambush. They didn't know that the troopers had orders to hold the masked man as a traitor to his country. This is a story combining thrilling action with fine tingling suspense. Be sure to listen. A copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated is created by George W.
