 A horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hai hai o silver! The Lone Ranger! General Mills, makers of Cheerios, the ready-to-eat oat cereal that gives you go-power, and Wheaties, the breakfast of champions, present by special recording, The Lone Ranger! Diving Doris is 13, and she is a diving queen. She can do a flip because she knows she's got go-power from Cheerios. Yes, she's got go-power! There she goes! She's feeling her Cheerios! Cheerios! Cheerios! That's a mighty good idea for you. Just make sure you eat a big bowl of Cheerios and milk every breakfast, and you'll get go-power too! Because a Cheerios breakfast is loaded with proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The very things that help build healthy bodies, strong bones, good red blood, and muscles. Why they'd be the sort of breakfast you'd go for, even if they didn't taste so good. And they do taste delicious. Cheerios are a real oat cereal, already cooked with that delicious toasted oat flavor. So that's for you, swell-tasting Cheerios and milk for go-power. Eat them every morning, and you'll hear... She's feeling her Cheerios! With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful masquerader 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, silly! What's going on? I'm silly! Melissa Powell, a woman about 40 years of age, was considered by the townspeople of Laredo to be one of their most unusual and cherished attractions. When Melissa drove from her large ranch house to town, her appearance there never failed to cause a bit of a sensation. For unlike the usual western woman, Melissa not only rode in a shiny black carriage drawn by a pair of high-stepping glossy black horses, but when she alighted, the sheen of silk and satin gown, the plumed velvet hat, and the dainty lace parasol drew gasps from the women and admiring glances from the men. At such a time she was set her of attention and the sole topic of conversation. Great day! She sure is a mighty fine lady. Yep, she sure is. She's like something out of a picture book. Her ranch house has got plush furniture out here. Yeah, and even the plant they see. Where did she come from, anyway? Well, as I hear it, her old man owned a silver mine up near Denver. When his wife died, he sold out, came down in this territory, sent his daughter east to school. When she couldn't live with him on that big ranch, he brought red plush carpets and furniture all the way from St. Louis. And he brought out that fancy carriage, too, so she could live in style. Well, I'll be dogged on. Of course, that's a story I heard from a foreman, Randy. Seems like when the old man died, she just continued on, never did get married. Now, what supplies do you want to get you? But the townspeople of Laredo would have been filled with consternation and disbelief. They could have seen and heard the Melissa Powell who, after dark, emerged from her silks and satins to don Levi's blouse and sombrero and to strode like a man to the bunkhouse on her ranch. Sir, that's you, boss? Yes. Just a second, I'll let you in. Well, boys, did Randy tell you the plans for tonight? Good. Those prized horses on the Circle X spread will bring a big price across the border. We'll leave in half an hour. We'll be ready to hit leather, boss. Say, I still don't think you should wear that. I know what you're going to say, Randy. You think I shouldn't wear this sapphire bracelet? That's right. Well, I've told you before, I won't go without it. When dad had his gang in Colorado, he took this from a real lady. The kind I always wanted to be. Gave it to me, and I intend to wear it all the time. Well, if somebody recognized it when you ride with a gang... My sleeves cover it, so no one's going to see it, except when I'm dressed like a lady. So stop worrying. Well, I'll have it your way. You sure got everybody fooled with that lady stuff you pulled in the daytime. Now, listen, you. I'll have you know when I dress up I'm as much of a lady as any other woman. Sure, sure. Anything you say, a fella? Sure, Randy. Good. I'll meet you at the corral in half an hour. A few days later, the Long Ranger and his Indian companion, Tottle, followed the trail that led to Laredo. As they rolled out a leisurely pace, the Long Ranger was saying... According to the report given us by the Padre Tonneau, there's a ruthless gang of outlaws operating in the vicinity of Laredo. Ah. Padre say lawmen are not able to get grace outlaws. Maybe them hide in mountains to south. Could be. Seems the members of the gang are always masked. A week ago, they held up the stage from Corpus Christi, and a few nights ago, they stole some prized horses from a spread near Laredo. Ah. Padre say then kill driver stage. Since they must realize they'll all hang for murder, they'll stop at nothing to prevent being captured. Isn't that right? We'll pitch camp in the hills near town, then we'll decide just what we'll do. Mozilla must stop! A couple of miles from town, the Long Ranger and Tottle found a suitable campsite in a secluded hollow. It was late afternoon when Tottle went into town for a few supplies. Before long, he returned to the camp. Oh, Scotland! Easy, Scotland. Any news in town, Tottle? Well, she may not hear much news, but we see fine lady in store, Kimosabi. Oh, her beautiful. Well, what do you talk? She must have been unusual. Ah, her wear, plenty fancy clothes, wear fine necklace, have bracelet of gold, set with blue-colored stones. Her leave and fine carriage. I've heard of a woman who lives near Laredo in the style of an Eastern lady. Her name is Powell. Miss Melissa Powell. Ah, me here fellow in store call her Miss Melissa. Her style of living is out of place here in the far southwest. I wonder why she doesn't go back east to live. Well, it seemed like people in town like Powell woman. After supper, it may be wise for you and me to ride to Laredo. They might get some news that will give us a lead to the outlaw gang. It was still light when the Lone Ranger and Tottle reached the outskirts of town and stopped in a grove of trees. A masked man waited while the Indian went into Laredo. Tottle grew rain in front of the cafe and dismounted. At that moment, he saw a stagecoach turn into the main street at great next speed. Hey, come and be fast. As the stage passed, Tottle noticed the guard slumped in his seat so he hurried with a crowd to the stage stop. Get to serve somebody who were held up by outlaws. You better get a doctor too. How many were there? When it happened. Hey, here comes the sheriff now. What's going on here? What's happening? I'm held up by the bridge. About six of them. They plucked the guard in the shoulder. Hey, they're going up again. They shot a passenger too, only when we had a man. He's dead as far as I can tell. All right. Somebody help the guard get down. I'll look into the sheriff. All right, boys here. I'll let you down, Junior. Hey, he's dead all right. I can see that from here. How come they shot him? Well, sir... After they took the money box, two of them dismounted and looked inside the coach. One of them smaller and slimmer than the rest poked a gun in the open window and said something they didn't hear. Then what? Well, the passenger said out loud, you don't get my wallet. Then I heard a tussle. And the outlaw said, let go of my arm in the sort of a young voice and well, like a boy almost. Then I heard a shot. And they all mounted and left and heard. And they were all massed. Well, as soon as we returned to the wounded guard and moved this body, we informed the party and go out to the bridge. Maybe we can pick up the train. I'll go right out there with you. Tuttle quickly left the crowd and mounting scout reached the grove where the lone ranger was waiting within a few minutes. Oh, scout, hold, fella. Easy, scout. Easy, fella. What's happened, Tuttle? A stage came in. Other end of town. Drivers say they may have holed up. Briefly, the Indian told what he had heard. When he had finished, the lone ranger spoke. Tuttle, this may be our chance to get a light on those outlaws. It'll be 20 minutes or half an hour before the posse leaves town, I think. We'll ride out to the bridge and look the ground over before the sheriff and the posse get there and spoil the trail. Here's a little bit. A short time later, the masked man and Indian reached the spot where the holed up had taken place. Oh, me. You see, many sign, King Masabi. Outlaws ride to river look like. We'll follow their trail while it's fresh. Of course, the border's close and they may... What's this? What's your sign, King Masabi? Woman's bracelet. Oh, that look like bracelet Lady and store have on today. You mean, uh, Melissa Powell? Uh-huh. Me sure of that light once you wear. It's been ripped apart. See there? The catch held, but one of the links is pulled loose. But take quite a tug to make it come apart like that. That bright? Strange that we've found the bracelet here where the stage was held up and robbed. I think I'll... wait. Look, come over that rise back there. I mean, sheriff and posse. If not good, we'll be found here. All right, let's not hurry. Easy, sir. 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 here's one that many people have to say Hidden are Wheaties And do, do, do an OK, OK Sure enough, take Midwestern champions, for instance. When Bobby Feller takes the mound the outfield boys sit on the ground. That Wheaties pitching leaves them there watching batters fan the air And when we name our Wheaties crew Big Ted Klaususki's in there too He'll face those hurlers day or night and knock their fastballs out of sight Bob Feller and Ted Klaususki both know that Wheaties magic There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties' flake Wheaties, breakfast of champions Keep party, do your Wheaties And do, do, do an OK, OK Now to continue When the Lone Ranger and Tuttle were at the scene of the hold-up looking at the bracelet they found they suddenly saw the sheriff and the posse coming over a rise in the trail quickly the two men galloped away as the sheriff and the possemen opened fire The posse pulled rain at the scene of the recent hold-up Hey, Ted, honey Maybe too far away to plug those two out, Lars You know, it's funny they came back here to the place What are we stopping for, sheriff? Are we going to follow them? They went off in the same direction the gang took after they held us up Well, in that case, we'll get after them And we'll keep after them when they lead us to the gang's hideout Let's get you on Meantime, the Lone Ranger and the Tuttle followed along the trail that by the outlaw gang Soon they reached the real grand and pulled to a halt Oh, oh, hello Well, it looked like outlaws go through water to other side, Kimasari It must have crossed the border, all right The trail leads right into the river Ah, river, plenty shallow here The posse will follow us, so we might as well go on across The sheriff won't cross the border, I'm sure Well, me not think so Our lawmen have no authority over there There's nothing to stop us from keeping on that gang's trail All right, let's get going Come on, Silver Meantime, Melissa and her gang had returned to a ranch where she quickly assumed the attire which she considered turned her into a lady Randy and the men were in the bunkhouse When the door opened suddenly and Melissa entered with a swish of silken skirts Nothing wrong, boss? Yes, there is, my bracelet's missing I told you Well, I wore it and that's that The fact is I lost it and we have to get it back But it'd be suicide for any of us to go back there now None of you have to go back The moon is bright now, I'll go myself Jim, get the carriage and bring it around to the ranch house door All right Wait a minute People wonder if they see your carriage stopped at that place where the stage was held up They'll wonder more about your driving out at night They know you never do Well, this can be the first time then And let them wonder Nobody would suspect Miss Melissa Powell are being connected with Alphel Well, let's hope not But remember, an hombre was killed in that hold up And folks will be ready to suspect anybody Oh, shut up Go get the carriage, Jim You all right? I'll have it ready in ten minutes After a careful and tiring search The Lone Reign Jerem Tonto finally picked up the outlaws' trail once again And it led them to the back of Melissa's ranch The moonlight was extremely bright So that they were able to see sufficiently To follow the hoof marks They approached a barn from the rear And stopped in a grove of trees Oh, this ranch must be where those outlaws are staying, Tonto Ah, they wonder who owned the ranch I don't know Who leaves the horses here at once Wait a minute The carriage goes from the barn Around the front of the ranch house The carriage of lady we see in town The carriage is going up the front way to the main trail We'll follow to find out where she's going Most of the way to Muckscout At a distance, the Lone Reign Jerem Tonto followed Melissa's carriage As they topped her eyes They saw the carriage stop where the hold up had taken place A masked man and Indian turned off the trail into an arroyo Which ran parallel to the trail Oh, you got me They dismounted and left their horses ground hitched Then they quietly went on foot along the arroyo Until they were opposite the carriage And close enough to hear Melissa talking to Jim As the two searched for the missing bracelet That voice of power woman, Kimasabi Wait, listen I don't see any bracelet You sure it fell off when I faced and grabbed your arm? Of course, I'm sure You think I was coming out here to hunt for it I didn't feel sure you were fooling I'm not talking nice now We hear him mention about passengers, grab an iron I'm sure now that woman's one of the gang Be ready to draw We'll go up out of this arroyo and take them by surprise Come on Hey, what is this? It's a couple of hoops They got the drop on us too Were you hunting for this? Where did you find that? I found it right about here Give it to me, it's mine And tell that Indian to host to that gun Oh, oh, oh Miss Melissa Powell has lost the sweetness in her voice, Tonto Now look, mister, no mask all like you can life at me If that Indian didn't have that drawn gun, I'd... The horse is supposing Help, help! Oh, just my foot, Kimasabi Can't get to our horses now Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull it Pull, pull, pull it, pull it, pull it Miss Melissa, come on, come along It was like the two men we were hunting Oh, hold on, Sheriff Oh, Sheriff, I'm so glad you came along when you did These bandits stopped my courage and made me get out They were just about to shoot, James, I'm sure No, wait a minute, I... Look, there in his hands, Sheriff, my bracelet The gold one with the sapphire setting He can cover it, men All right, give me that bracelet Hey, Gully, I've seen this on your arm, Miss Melissa He must have snatched it off the way it's broken Yes, yes, he did, but, Ruth, I was so frightened We got a string of them There was it for murder anyway We know our master arm is one of the gang Now calm down, boys We'll take the guns, men, and we'll... They did The gang is moving in on us In this office, please No, you wait You'll not leave Yes, go away Watch them in Bit gore, ingenious Hey, Sheriff, that's the voice I heard say Those very words at the time of the hold-up This woman was one of the gang Those are her men attacking These guns, shall I told you? Hey, you shoot not the upload I told you to let me go No Let me go, you fool, red skin That's the voice, that's it Watch her, don't let her get away What? The excitement alone reigned Taho, though detained by the sheriff and the men grouped near them, fought against the outlaws Some of the posse had ridden off to get behind the gang and soon Randy and the others were hurt back to the carriage Some of them wounded, all of them disarmed Gosh, boss, did the best we could trying to rescue you It was your own fault for coming back to get that darn bracelet Shut up, you... Sheriff, I don't know why Hey, thunder that is the voice I heard Yes, sir, she was with that gang How could you say that? In fact, that masked man is the leader of these outlaws He must have had these ruffians wait back and hiding while he and the Indian held up my carriage They frighten me, Sheriff I'll drive home now You listen to me, Melissa Powell You don't go free and let us hang for your murders What? You let our gang pose like a lady during the day but tough as any man when you let this gang at night No, she fooled us all, eh? Fooling you bunch of tin horns was easy even for a lady Lady, that's a hot one Shut up, you! Shut up, you hear? Well, it looks like Lady Melissa has sort of gone tough all of a sudden, eh? Say, mister, just how did all this come about anyway? Briefly, as the Sheriff and the men listened the lone ranger explained what had happened When he had finished, the Sheriff spoke again Well, let me go home She sure was a smart one trying to turn the table on you, mister But now we've got them all and they'll all see the day hang including the lady Well, we'll take them to town now I'm glad we were able to be of help, Sheriff I tried to explain at the time but well, it all turned out for the best Let's leave now, Tutto We'll go get our horses Adios! Adios! Say, hey, let them go and I don't even know who that man's gone for Well, he gave me this bullet, Sheriff, and said you'd know And I thought it don't look like silver to me A silver bullet?
