[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

Meanwhile, over the border at El Diablo and The rowdy cantina, Mr. Fitzmaurice and Meadows, heads pillowed in their arms on a tabletop, pretend sleep, straining their ears to catch each word spoken by the Black Guard Del Lobo to his companion seated at the table beside him. And despite the fact that he has lost the stolen gold to the Lazy Y riders, El Lobo seems in fine spirit.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

That link is good one, eh? Wash the dust on my throat.

[Charlie Lung]

Now what we do in Lobo?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Now what we do? Look out of the window. You see the sun has not yet set. That means we have plenty of time to rest, Dimilo. Then we ride again to the Lazy Boy Range show.

[Charlie Lung]

But why we go back to the ranks to dice on you?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Because it is the last thing Jeffrey would expect. Now he get back to Gordon, ride to his ranch. He think he is safe.

[Charlie Lung]

He had many riders there at the ranch and they will all fight good.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

They will not fight us, Pedro.

[Charlie Lung]

Why not, senor?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Because they are not going to see us. That is why at midnight tonight when they are all asleep, we slip up to their aunt's house. This time I have one friend that Cannot fail. When tomorrow comes, old fan Jeff and all his friends will be no more.

[Charlie Lung]

Nathaniel, what are you going to do to him?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Never mind, never mind. I have one big idea. Go on. You finish your drink. First we go to the barn, give the horses rub down, and then we sleep until midnight. Oh, bueno. I finish cleaning. Hello. All right, now come loose. Now we go to the barn. How did you. You work like old woman. We give my black beauty Lorraine extra corn to eat. Eight. Eight. Them brighters are gone, Mr. Hitch. Morris. Oh. Oh, mercy.

Thank heaven for that.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

You know, lying face down on this table in the middle of this Mexican

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

food is not too inspiring.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Oh, I've got tamales all over me. This hot sauce is literally running out of my ears. Oh, blimey.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

Now what, sir?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

We didn't learn very much, did we, sir? You'd think that.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

Hey, Arthur Mo, will you let me

[El Lobo / Samuel]

wipe them beans off your chin?

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

I'll take the footmarks.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

them bandits is going to strike at midnight tonight, sir.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

Oh, how right, fellows.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

But at least this time we were warned, weren't we? Them bandits don't start out until midnight. We got plenty of time to warn everybody at the lazy wire, we said,

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

I suppose, that we should start out now though, anyway.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Yes, we, we should. We certainly have hours to prepare a warm reception for those vile lusters.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

I, I, I better watch myself or

[El Lobo / Samuel]

someday you'll hear me laughing. But confidentially, this is.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

Once I feel we'll really outweigh that cheap thug El Lobo.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

I do.

[Charlie Lung]

So, Elobo, if we do not leave until midnight, I would like very much

[El Lobo / Samuel]

to go and see my girl Conchita before we go away. No, no, Harry quizzes to rebound now. We are going to take shortcut to Lazy Y.

[Charlie Lung]

This time we play all that next to both and careful. Run. Run like the wind.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Wow.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

El Lobo and Gomez gallop for the badlands. While Meadows and Fitz Morris, unaware of the trickery, ride at an easy lope along the regular trail. The two bandits head straight for Rattlesnake Canyon shortcut to the Lazy wide. Soon they are slowed down to a walk as their powerful horses climb the narrow trail leading thousands of feet to the top of the canyon. As their horses strain to reach the timberline far above, a pair of keen black eyes peer down through the dense pines. A lone Indian brave of the Ojiwa tribe sights the sombre guard figure on the great black mare and recognizes El Lobo the bandit. Quickly, the Indian darts back into the pines. After a moment of deep forest silence, a war drum telegraphs the message of approaching danger. The tom tom beats are dismissed by El Lobo as only the drums of some tribal rice in a nearby Indian village. And he and Pedro continue their tram. Back at the Lazy Y, Chief Big Horse and his braves mounted on their tough little ponies are about to bid farewell to Gold Pan Jefferson, Professor Beerstone, Cyclone Charlie and Gold Pan stand on the broad ranch house veranda preparing to wave goodbye to the red men.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Chief Big Horse make thank you white men for great kindness to my trade.

[Charlie Lung]

Well, Chief, glad you had a good time. Come swiggle me. You done us a mighty big favor. Yes, Sree. If it hadn't been few Injuns and char here. It all been hung to that trident El Robo guy. Ain't that right, Professor?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Looks like we're all ready to ride. Now, all of you, check your six guns and rifles. That bandit rat ain't gonna give up easy.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

[Charlie Lung]

Stand me still. I'll think him more better. We mighty hurry soon done when he said.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Yeah, you ain't a kidding. Let's get riding. We ought to meet up with him there just the same time as them engines closing on from the rear.

[Charlie Lung]

Come on.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

That's right. J. Come on. Come on.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

The lazy Y riders sweep from the ranch house at a full gallop, eyes lifted to the high walls of Rattlesnake Canyon. And their fresh horses maintain a reckless speed until they hit the draw that leads to the mountaintop. As the trail narrows, they are forced to proceed single file at a slow walk over the boulders and loose shale. Jeffers at the head of the column holds up his hands and signals for a halt.

[Charlie Lung]

Easy there, fellas. Easy there. Easy there. Put up them horses.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Yeah, for Mr. Goping. Whoa there, Sham. I guess this is as far as we go.

[Charlie Lung]

Stop it.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

[El Lobo / Samuel]

[Charlie Lung]

No, no, sir. No, sir. Williams is going to get behind these big rocks scattered over the trail. Draw our six guns.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Well?

[Charlie Lung]

No good. Next side.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Windy.

[Charlie Lung]

Go on. He's come down that narrow pass.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

He'll have a bead on him.

[Charlie Lung]

Yes, sir. He'll reach for the sky.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Or else say Godzilla with them engine coming up behind him had nothing but misery. Well, Kelly, gents, better plan. I got to let you rock it. That dry Wilson bandit is going through mighty soon. Now get your boulders off. Now. Come on, John. Come on. Get your gun.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

Carefully, the lazy y riders take cover behind the boulders that dot the narrow trail. Meanwhile, on the rear trail leading to the summit, Chief Big Horse and his braves sit motionless upon their well trained ponies, the slowly sinking sun highlighting their bronze skins and war bonnets. Grimly they wait the message of the Tom tom from the hidden lookout. The message that will tell them El Lobo has reached the small plateau that parallels the drop into Rattlesnake Canyon. Suddenly the Ojiwa drum speaks and it speaks of death. At its sound, the two bandit horsemen, without knowing why, stiffen slightly in their saddle. The lazy y riders crouch behind their rocks. Check six guns and rifles. The Indians draw cruel tipped arrows from beaded quivers. It is but a matter of moments before El Lobo and Gormez will face double ambush.

[Charlie Lung]

Listen,

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

In a moment we'll return to the adventures of Charlie Leung. Here is the most important reminder. The American Red Cross Dartmouth its annual campaign for funds next month in March. Be sure to make your plans now to be extra generous. Because the job the Red Cross must do is even so much bigger than before. Just think, it's going to take $75 million to do the work that is absolutely necessary. Yes, there's the high cost of living. And the dollar isn't worth all it used to be.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

That's true.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

But friends, human needs have not shrunk. Human needs have grown greater.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Human.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

The things the Red Cross does for humanity. Makes a list much too long to tell you about now. So I won't go into that. I'll just say that the Red Cross reaches into every town in America. You are the Red Cross serving humanity with your contributions. So be more generous than ever. Remember, Charlie Leung says to help because

[Charlie Lung]

of duty, quite fine.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

But to give from Heart is more sublime.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

And now back to the adventures of Charlie Lung El Lobo, most feared bandit north and south of the border. And his henchman, Pedro Gomez reached the small mesa that stands high on the rim of Rattlesnake Canyon. Little do they suspect that before them, guns in hand, await the Lazy Y riders. And behind them, Chief Big Horse and his brave slowly close in. The bandits sit on their powerful horses for a brief rest before their descent upon the Lazy Wife for a sneak attack on Gulp and jeopardy.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Steady, my black beauty. I wish you to rest the before we go down the trail.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

Those fool are going to be very

[El Lobo / Samuel]

surprised this time no see, this time I have planned. Pedro, I. I tell you when we get near range. When I am through, nobody at the Lazy Y will be alive to tell this story.

[Charlie Lung]

Listen, you try that. Hello, boat. There's a surprise waiting for you. Trail behind you. Full of old gy engines.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

And I'm telling you, you can't escape anyhow. You better get some moving there. Check up on him. If he ain't back in five minutes, we coming up where you're shooting.

[Charlie Lung]

Why you stop here animation? Are you not going on your back trail to look for the Indian?

[El Lobo / Samuel]

No, you fool. Get off your horse. I know the Indians are there. Do you think Gold Pan is fool enough to let us get out from under his guns?

[Charlie Lung]

If they are not, then alone we are really trapped. There is no escape from these men, Mason. There is not even trail down from south side and on the west. I know 20 the great Gul that dropped down thousands of feet. What can we do?

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

El Lobo and Gomez, riding like mad men, dodge the gunfire of the Lazy Y riders and disappear into the dense pine trees. Gold Pan Jeffers and the ranch hands are quickly joined by the Ogwa bridge. Who cannot believe the two bandits could have made the tremendous leap over the gorge. This is indeed a bitter pill for them to swallow. Realizing pursuit now would be hopeless. The disappointed riders turn from the mesa and ride away. Meanwhile, the two bandits ride recklessly down through the pines and head into the badlands. Just as the great Arizona sun sets red on the far mountain peaks, they pull their sweating horses to a stop before an old abandoned mine. This is the lost mine, new headquarters of Belen Tudska, the mysterious foreigner who so desires the ownership of the Lazy Y Ranch. Quickly, El Lobo and Gomez make their way into a dark shaft that drives straight into the hillside. They knock on a door and are admitted to a small, well lit, well appointed room where sits Baron Tubsca. El Lobo rapidly tells of his disastrous adventures during the past few hours. The Baron, his evil face flushed, rises from his chair.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

This is ridiculous. So, you blundering idiot, we are still no nearer to the ownership of the Lazy White Ranch than we were a month ago.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Senrod, you cannot always win.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

You seem never to win. You think, Elobo? The only means of beating a man in Arizona is with a six gun.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

Let me tell you.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

From now on, I shall take complete charge of every move against Gold Pan Jephel.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

I need but one more time, senor. This time I swear I will kill Jeffers with my own bare hands.

[Gold Pan Jeffers / Baron Tubsca]

You hulking fool. Killing only jeopardy is not enough. Do you not realize how vitally important it is that I get access to the deposit hidden beneath the Lazy Y? With it, we can dictate to the world. This time we shall try brains versus brawn. Could you possibly comprehend that I have a plan that will possibly convince you. Convince you that brains are more important? We shall go into action tonight at midnight. This time, Jeffer and all his friends shall be destroyed.

[Narrator / Hal Gibney]

So Baron Supska takes command. This really spells danger to the Lazy Y. For the diabolical mind of the baron. Plus, El Lobo's brutal desire for vengeance can well mean the most powerful move against the Lazy Y Ranch ever formulated by its enemies. Be sure to listen next week when Charlie Lung and the Lazy Y rider face hooded horror.

[El Lobo / Samuel]

SAM.
