Companion Toto, the daring and resourceful mask 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 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 before... An overtaken on the trail by darkness. Lead him slowway through the sand of timber until he saw a small campfire. I don't must have learned it to serve as a beacon. Come on, Silver. There we are. Don't move. We got you covered. So are you. Why don't you come out of the shadows and show yourself? Come on, boys. I want you to show yourself. We don't mind being seen. Keep your hands at shoulder level, Missy. Now, suppose you take off that mask and show yourself. Big Miller, you don't. I'd never forget your face, Miller. With lightning speed, the lone ranger brought his hands and trounced against the nearest man. There was one shot which went wild as Steve Stack's backhand fell again. A quick miller and a landmulled beat. All three outpours the wrong miller. The lone ranger drove a hard fifth into Pete's stomach. Then we had to quick shot from the end of Pete's one for his gun. Turning, he leaped to the saddle as he still forgot on the way. Papa was there to meet him. And I got to the wrong camp. Wrong camp? Yes. I saw a campfire. I thought you decided to camp near town. Oh, I wrote it. He must have missed it. Yes. He got plenty news for you. You have? Yes. Missy Fuller and Herkimer, him bandfeller. Big Miller? How do you know? He just came from his camp. He has two men with him. Their names are Steve and Pete. I think he broke out of jail. Well, me see him in town with owner of a cafe. Ace Farnham? Not right. Miller is dodging along. I'm surprised he'd go into town. Maybe he thinks no one will recognize him. Or him use other name in town. Him use name of Blackie Martin. I'd like to know what he and Farnham are planning. I think I'll try to find out. You going to town now? Yes. Ben Tunno. You hadn't better build up fire here. Miller needs men to be looking for me. He's happy. I'll see you later. He needs to be fucked. Until then! I'm to rule toward Herkimer. The banker of the town, old Ben Gilbert, wore a worried and thoughtful expression as he sat before the fireplace, whittling on a chunk of soft wood. Oh, company. I'll go, dad. Wasn't expecting any company tonight. Why, it's Mr. Longwell. Good evening, Mr. Longwell. Evening, Miss Barbara. Howdy, Gilbert. Well, no, well, this is a sure enough surprise. Do step in. I'll do that, Miss. You've got some talking to do with your pa. Well, it's a chair, Longwell. Sit right down. Thanks. Pa can save time. I put considerable cash into your bank. You sure have. You're the biggest depositor we've got. You figure out how much I've got with interest. I'll be around and draw it out. Draw it out? I want to hide it where I know it'll be safe. Safe? Why, Longwell, there's no safer place in the bank. You've seen how strong that iron ball is. No one can bust that open. All I know is I decided to get my cash. Do I get it? If you want your cash, you'll get it. First thing in the morning. And I'll be on hand. Mr. Longwell, let me ask one question. Did A. Sponham have something to do with your decision? I made my own decision, Miss Barbara. I'll be around in the morning, Gilbert. What? Is he not being safe in Gilbert's bank? They're back in my office, Longwell. We can talk better now. This banking business never made much sense to me. The man should have his cash where he can may hand on it. Well, I sure hope you get your money back. Step right in. Thanks. Sitting at my desk. You've got your nerve. Look, if this is a personal matter... I can't let you spread my alarm. What do you want? What's Trig Miller planning? What? Who? Who's he? Part of him, doesn't he? Don't you part of him? So that's it. Banker Gilbert didn't waste any time, did he? Gilbert? Yeah. You said, have you to play Longwell? No, I don't. You told Gilbert you wanted all your cash from the bank the first thing in the morning. So he sends this critter to make us think there's a dangerous thief named Miller somewhere nearby. So that's the scheme. Do you see? They're trying to make you think it'll be dangerous to keep your cash at home. Are you Jim Longwell? I am. And you're drawing all your cash from the bank? Yes, but what do you... Why? Did Farnham say the bank wasn't safe? Gilbert must be desperate, huh? Keep still, Farnham. Longwell, listen to me. Farnham and Miller had their heads together. If Farnham can persuade wealthy men to draw their money from the bank, Miller will have an easier time stealing it. Oh, likely still. I never heard of Miller. Come on. I've got to tell the boys. East Farnham turned his back on the masked man and opened the door to the cafe. Hey boys, listen to me. The old green jarring into the office, listening to Farnham as he addressed the townsman. Jim Longwell told the banker he aimed to draw his cash first thing in the morning. Gilbert is hedging on the payment just as I always said he would. Man, maybe Gilbert will run out on this before then. I moved to the garbage house, starting right now. You're watching till the bank's open. I said all along he was crooked. Finally had my own cash. We don't need any bank or the washes. And spend it for Farnham. If you can come into my way. You better let me talk. Crown of men from the casino are on the way here. For all I know it may be a lynch mob. Oh no, not that they wouldn't dare. It's Farnham's work. Let me tell you about Farnham. I went to question him about a crook named Miller and escaped convict. Jim Longwell was with Farnham. Farnham's wanted him over. When I said there was a dangerous outlaw around here, Longwell thought I was trying to frighten him. He would leave his money in your bank. He thought you'd send me. A lot of men are outside. I think they're from the casino. You think it's a lynch mob? Gilbert, open the door and see what those men want. But it's a lynch mob. I'll take charge. I'll speak to them, Barbara. Jim, swap their money back from your bag. You! Don't you try to sneak away. Because we're all working. Their money is safe, but a lot of it's invested in mortgages. That's what I thought. I can't meet all of the man's until I've had time to call in loans and sell some mortgages to other banks. What are you going to do? I'll pay the depositors and turn as long as the cash holds out. After that, well... Pay that cash out slowly. Give me as much time as you can. When he watched them carefully with his hands resting on his belt close to his six guns, beside the great horse, Silvery, paused, made sure no one intended to draw a gun, then mounted quickly and rode away.

This blanket's wide awake, considering one plan after another and projecting all but one. Tuttle. Tuttle wake up. It would stay awake when he roused his Indian friend. I think I have a tuttle. I'm going there right on note. You're going to take it to the sheriff. And it gave the sheriff detailed information. You'll only follow these instructions. You're going to move this camp? Yes, well, get going, Tuttle. Get him out of the shout. Tuttle time to reach town and deliver the message to the sheriff. Then when he judged the lawmen and deputies on their way to the woods, he inspected his heavy guns and started toward Trigg Miller's camp. He dismounted some distance away and proceeded on foot. As he knew the clearing, he saw the man called Trigg sleeping in a blanket, while Steve was wide awake on guard. You're covered. I'll keep your voice down in your hands. You're a mess, Ram. What are you doing here? You've learned a lot before the day's much older. What's going on here? Both of these guns are ready for the first one of you who makes a fast move. What's the idea? What do you want? On your feet quickly. I'll turn your back to me while I tie your hands. Holding a gun in one hand, the low ranger definitely tossed a loop around the wrists of the first of the two outlaws. That's tight. He was about to tie the hands of Trigg Miller when he heard a sharp command behind his back. Cover gun! I got you! Cover feet! Cover that chair! Very well. You jumped his last night and got away with it. But don't try the same move again. I'm ready for you. I see you are. But I don't think you're fast enough to stop me. If I wait until Trigg Miller gets your pal untied, I'll have three of you holding guns. I better make my bid right now! What is it? I got him! I warned you, Mr. I was just waiting for you to make a move and you made it. You got him good, Pete, right through the shoulder. Ha-ha! Well done, mister. Does it hurt? He's fast with a gun. Yeah, plenty fast. Glad you didn't shoot him through the high feet. I want to question him before we finish him off permanent. Oh, so I want to see what's under that mask. Trigg! It's the law! Let him have it! Let's give it to him! While Topple rushed to his fallen friend. You heard what came after me? Don't subscribe. The biggest depositor took charge of the proceedings. After drawing his own money, he turned to the others and called... Stand in line, boys! I see that y'all get tips and sign your names. I got two hundred... And there were many depositors still in line to get their money. Well, there's yours, Hank. Is that all the cash you've got left, Gilbert? Yes. Yes, it isn't too long, Will. So you can't pay everyone off. It's your cash! I keep cashin' up on hand to take care of anyone who wants to take his money out of the bank, but I can't pay. Your money is safe. You'll all get it if you just give me time to collect... There's whose hands were tied. The sheriff pulled one of the captives from his horse and marched him into the bank, where Ace Farnham had been talking of lynching the banker. Get in and let me know if these towns won't recognize you. They're the biggest trucks in this part of the country. You know him, don't you, Farnham? I know. I suppose it wasn't you who put the law on me. No, no. It's all that money, Farnham. Me? Now listen! Well, you're collecting the rewards for it. Now you can't deny I turned this over to the law. Drake, listen to me. No, let me talk to you. Don't let him talk too much. Now it's my turn to talk. I'm gonna see that you go to jail when I do. Now listen to me, sheriff. Listen to me, all of you! I busted out of jail, I admit that. I came here to Farnham because I needed cash. Now I knew him a long time ago. It was his idea to get all of you to draw your cash out of this bank, and have it in your homes where I could get it. Me and my pals are gonna steal it. That's not true. That's not a word of truth, tonight. It's all true, Farnham, and it was your plan. You'd collect the reward for putting the law on me, and you'd take everyone's cash in your crooked gambling game. I didn't chip off the law I did for you. Are you sure about that, Farnham? A new stir swept through the crowd as the masked man appeared in the doorway. Are you sure you don't want the reward for capturing King and his pals? I didn't turn him over the law, I swear I didn't, Farnham. It doesn't matter whether you double-cross your pals or not. You've been exposed. I think I listened to you, Farnham. Why, you jerky! Take the polecat out of here, Sheriff, before I take the law into my own hands. Come on, Farnham. You can go along to jail with Miller and the others. I reckon we can find charges we can hold you on after what the crooks have said. It was a trick. You made Miller think I double-crossed him. Who's the frame-up yet? All the dirty frame-ups of all the law... It's a mistake. I listened to Ace Farnham and his smooth talk. Here, Ben, re-open my bank account and lock my money up. Good course, Mr. Longwell. I'll have to use some of it to pay off these other depositors. Use it as you see fit. You're the banker, and you know what you're doing. I reckon you'd better put my cash back, too. And mine! It'll be safer in the bank than it'll be at home where Crooks can get it. The bank is safer along the... Farnham was in jail with the... and also to learn more about the masked man. You didn't seem a bit surprised when he walked in, Sheriff. That's right, Longwell. I wasn't surprised. You see, it was that masked man who told me where Trig Miller and his pals were hiding. It was his idea to trick him into exposing Ace Farnham. Then the masked man is really responsible for the capture of those Crooks. That's right. I understand there's a substantial reward for the man who recaptured them so they could be sent back to finish their jail time. Is your reward all right, Longwell? And the masked man earned it. But he didn't want it. No. He left word with me. He said any reward he might have coming should be turned over to the bank. News to build a school or a church or anything else that Ben Gilbert thinks our town could use. So the masked man turned down the reward. Yeah. He even took a bullet in the shoulder to get those Crooks. Wrist his life. That's what he did. Most remarkable man I've ever heard of. And I don't even know who he is. Do you? Are you sure enough the most remarkable man you've ever heard of, Longwell? He used the Lone Ranger. Oh, oh, oh! A part of the Lone Ranger is played by Brace Beamer. Your announcer, Fred Coyle.
