Key Discussion Points and Plot Highlights

1. The Heart of Palemos: A Church for the Community

[04:51–06:28]

• Clay Duval's Initiative: Café owner Clay Duval, a compassionate and devout man, is moved by Reverend John Mitchell’s struggle to hold church in a dilapidated store. Duval vows, “We're going to build a reverend a church right here in Palamos. That's what we're going to do.” (Duval, 05:01)
• Community Fundraising: Duval rallies local ranchers and townsfolk, promising all his café profits for a week and urging everyone to contribute. “All the money I take in for a week in my place is going into a fund... I'm asking all you people to sell a few heads of stock... we’ll hand all the money over to the reverend.” (Duval, 05:33)

Shucks, I can remember that. He's the Lone Ranger. Sam.” (Duval, 24:00)

[Narrator]

With the speed of light, a clod of dust, and a hearty hi O Silver.

[The Lone Ranger]

The Lone Ranger.

[Narrator]

With his faithful Indian companion, Toto, the daring and resourceful masked rider 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 hoof beats of the great horse Silver.

[Tonto]

The Lone Ranger rides again.

[Narrator]

Cafe owner Clay Duval was a good man and a churchgoer. When the new minister, Reverend John Mitchell, was forced to hold services in an old store, Duval made a decision.

[Tonto]

We're going to build a reverend a church right here in Palamos. That's what we're going to do.

[Narrator]

Andy Burton, who acted as chief handyman for Duval, suffered from mental lapses caused by an injury in battle with the Indians, when years ago, he had been the best scout and Indian fighter in the territory. He was the one who drove Duval in a rig to all the ranch houses and farms around the hilled in town of Palamos. And at these houses, Duval outlined a plan which he delivered as an ultimatum.

[Tonto]

We're going to build a church for the river. We're going to do it quick. All the money I take in for a week in my place is going into a fund. Now, I'm asking all you people to sell a few heads of stocks, and with your prime goods, we'll hand all the money over to the reverend. I'm going to count on you to help do it. Count on me.

[Narrator]

The fundraising campaign was a success, and a day called Collection Day was set aside for accepting the funds of all contributors before mid afternoon. On Collection Day, Clay Duval, talking to some of the men in his cafe.

[Tonto]

Told them, we've collected $4,000 so far. Before the day's over, I'm betting we have three times that much. That's good, huh? I wouldn't be surprised. I go to the bank in the morning. I had $15,000 to put in there. Most of the ranch money hasn't come in yet.

[Narrator]

But two of the men who heard Duval's words were Rhett Oldham and Rico Grimes. They edged away from the group that stood around Duval.

[Tonto]

Come on, Rico, let's get out of here.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sure. Let's find motion.

[Tonto]

You hear what Duvel said? Three times, $4,000.

[The Lone Ranger]

He said it might be even 50.

[Tonto]

Just a minute. You with the red hat.

[The Lone Ranger]

Huh? It's that crazy galoot, Andy Burton.

[Tonto]

Say, didn't I used to know you once?

[The Lone Ranger]

All right, get out of the way, you crazy old galoot.

[Tonto]

That fella gives me the creeps. He's always asking me if he knows me.

[The Lone Ranger]

Maybe he does. You see, he's been out here longer than anybody else.

[Tonto]

You think maybe. I think maybe we better get out to the ranch and see the boss.

[Narrator]

A short time later, the two men, Red and Rico, arrived at the ranch house of their boss, the man who called himself Martin Travis. They told him of the money that was being taken in on Church Collection Day.

[Tonto]

And Boss Duvel says he'll have maybe as much as $15,000 by tonight.

[The Lone Ranger]

He's gonna take to the bank in the morning. We heard him say that. Meaning he'll probably leave it in his safe overnight. We'll make sure he puts the money in the safe first. When we know that. Well, don't worry. I have ideas Good ideas.

[Narrator]

Later that same evening, shortly after midnight, Red Oldham galloped his horse away from Palamos, west of town, away from the main road. He met with Martin Travis and Rico Grimes, who had been waiting in the underground.

[Tonto]

I couldn't get here sooner. They collected money right up to 12 o'.

[The Lone Ranger]

Clock. How much did they get?

[Tonto]

I don't know, but it was a lot. Val put it away and says he's going to close his place at 2 o' clock so's everybody can get up early and be on hand when he turns over the collection money to Reverend Mitchell.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah, that is a laugh, Rico. Reggae did all right. Now the rest is up to us. Rico, don't worry. I know what I have to do. I have a fuse already. Just help me get these two cans of oil across a candle of my saddle.

[Tonto]

Yeah, I'll help you. Whose place you gonna burn?

[The Lone Ranger]

George Rivera's. But let's get Rico started. Sooner we do this thing, the better.

[Narrator]

A short time later, in the rambling storage bins adjacent to farmer George Rivera's barns, Rico Grimes poured the inflammable liquid on the walls and floor. Then he ran a long fuse leading from the building towards the woods. He struck a match and placed it against the end of the fuse. When he was sure the fuse was burning, he returned to his horse, mounted and galloped back to his waiting companions. Rico, astride his horse, as were Martin Travis and Red Oldham, watched until tongues of flame suddenly shot into the night sky from the spot they knew to be the Rivera farm.

[Tonto]

There it goes, boss. Look at those flames.

[The Lone Ranger]

Nice work, Rico. We should hear the town fire bell in just a little while.

[Narrator]

The men inside Clay Duval's cafe responded to the alarm at once, running into the street and heading for their horses. And the scene of the joining them was Clay Duval himself. He stopped at the door of his office before taking leave and spoke to Andy Burton.

[Tonto]

Andy, you stay here and watch out for the safe. Pedro, you stay here too. See? I'm going to fire with the other men. You watch out for the cafe. Andy's taking care of the office. See, Senor Duval, I keep good look for things. You back.

[Narrator]

Hidden by the trees and underbrush, the three crooks, Red, Rico and Travis, watched as riders, singly and in groups, galloped past on their way from town to fight the fire.

[The Lone Ranger]

That must be nearly everybody now.

[Tonto]

Wait, here comes another rider.

[The Lone Ranger]

It's Duval. Yeah, that's Duval. You can tell his horse. Easy, Al. He's gone. Now. Let's get to town. We'll go by the back trail. Make it fast.

[Tonto]

Come on.

[Narrator]

At the same moment, in a temporary camp in the hills directly above the scene of the fire. The Lone Ranger and Toto, startled by the alarm, mounted their horses.

[The Lone Ranger]

That's a bad fire, Toto. Men down there may need our help.

[Tonto]

Me ready, Monsell.

[The Lone Ranger]

Music.

[Narrator]

In town. The three crooks entered the rear door of Clay Duvel's cafe. The door that led to the owner's office. They wore bandanas across their faces. Travis led the way.

[The Lone Ranger]

The lights are on, so be careful. Yeah, close the door. Red, you cover the door that leads to the cafe.

[Tonto]

You vomit. Hey. What? What do you think you're up to?

[The Lone Ranger]

It's Andy, the local one. He has a gun. Grab him before he fires.

[Tonto]

That'll shoot the lot of you. Take off that bandana, Rico. The redhead. I know who you are. Shut up, you fools.

[The Lone Ranger]

He saw your face.

[Tonto]

He'll never remember that old cooch.

[The Lone Ranger]

Come on, let's get the money. Let's get to work on the safe now.

[Narrator]

Martin Travis, working smoothly and efficiently, had the safe open within a few minutes.

[The Lone Ranger]

That was a cinch. Hey, the money's in sacks. I think it's a money. Let's see.

[Tonto]

Yeah, that's some money, all right. Look at it.

[The Lone Ranger]

Grab a sack, each of you. All right, boss. Say, what about the old cooties, Stern? Bring them with us. Rico, use that gun again. Be glad to wash. Glad to, man. Rico throwing him across the saddle. Yeah, boys, Red has a money bag. Sit, too. Let's get riding east to the hideout.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Toto neared the scene of the diminishing fire and dismounted. They could see men fighting the flames, and they began to walk toward them. But a man carrying buckets of water saw them. He dropped the pails and drew his gun.

[The Lone Ranger]

Set your hands high there and stand right where you are. You're making a mistake, mister.

[Tonto]

We're here.

[The Lone Ranger]

Set fire to my place. That's who you are. Start walking over there to the sheriff. I assure you, we have nothing to do with the fire. We came down from our camp in the hills to help fight it. I said walk. Now. Do it or I'll plug you. Go on. And keep them hands up.

[Narrator]

The curtain falls on the first act of our Lord Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes. Please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue. The Lone Ranger and Tonto remained silent. As the aroused farm owner, George Rivera, walked them to where the firefighters had finally brought the flames under control.

[The Lone Ranger]

Men, look. I found these two were skulking back there near the tree.

[Tonto]

A mask, man. And an engine, too.

[The Lone Ranger]

They're the ones that must have set fire to my place. Sheriff Davis, you better take these. Hello, Sheriff Davis. Remember me?

[Tonto]

Leaping Cactus. If it isn't the masked man. And Toddo too.

[The Lone Ranger]

You mean you think they're not crooks? I assure you we're not crooks. My reason for wearing the mask are personal.

[Tonto]

He sent more crooks to jail than I and all my deputies put together.

[The Lone Ranger]

Toddo and I were camped up there in the hills when we saw the flames. We rode here as quickly as possible. I see you stopped the fire from spreading.

[Tonto]

Yeah, that's the best we could do. But all of George's barns and stable are burned to the ground. He saved his horses, though. That's one good thing.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sheriff. Mr. Rivera, you said before that someone started the fire. What did you mean by that? Well, we found oil cans near where the blaze must have started. And you could see where there was a rope fused to.

[Tonto]

We were all in town, George included, collecting money for a church. Kimasabi. Look.

[The Lone Ranger]

Man and horse come plenty fast.

[Tonto]

Duval is Pedro. Pedro. Pedro. What's the matter? Why'd you come here? Ah, Senor Crooks, they come, hit Senor Andy, break open safe, take money and ride away.

[Narrator]

Pedro told of hearing shots in Duval's office while he, Pedro, was in the cafe. He told how the crooks knocked out Andy Burton and repeated their conversation. Pedro ended by explaining, they also take.

[Tonto]

Senor Andy across one horse like if he's dead. They ride away from town toward east. And then I hurry here. The filthy buzzards. They've stolen the money we collected forever. And Mitchell, it seems to me they might have started the fire out here as a decoy. That could be it.

[The Lone Ranger]

Maybe you're right, Sheriff.

[Tonto]

Men, let's get back as fast as we can. Come on.

[Narrator]

From the moment Pedro arrived on the scene and told his story, attention had been riveted on him and the sheriff. The men had seemed to forget about the presence of the masked man and Indian. As the townsman rode after the sheriff and Duval, the Lone Ranger turned to Tonto.

[The Lone Ranger]

Well, what do you know about that? Them forget all about us just right way. Well, at least they didn't think of us as being implicated. Sheriff, tell em we friends. If he hadn't, we might be in real trouble.

[Narrator]

Toto.

[The Lone Ranger]

Kimasabe, you hear what them say?

[Tonto]

Crooks take money.

[The Lone Ranger]

Men collect for preachers. Yes, and the type of thief who'd do that deserves Toto. Sheriff Davis didn't ask Our help, but we'll give it. Ah, we right into town now. No. You saw how many men return there with the sheriff. They'll be doing all the things that are obvious. Looking for leads and hoof prints and other forms of evidence. But crooks get far away. I doubt that they'll go too far, Tano. They're carrying a man who's dead or wounded. They have a reason for doing that. Boy, say crooks right east. We know this territory, Tado. We know there are many places where crooks might hide in the hills east of town. You ride there, Kimasabi. Yes. Let's start Now. This road curves on the way into town. It curves again on the other side of town. It make half circle. Exactly. So if we ride through the hills on a straight line, we'll be on the other side of town before the sheriff and his men get there. We get horses, Kimasabi. Yes. Let's go, Tano.

[Narrator]

Minutes later, just as the last sparks of the fire faded, the Lone Ranger and Toto rode into the hills. The Lone Ranger had guessed rightly. Martin Travis, Red Oldham and Rico Grimes had taken the unconscious Andy Burton and the moneybags to one of the caves east of Palamos in the hills where the masked man and Indian were starting their seemingly futile search. The crooks gathered near a lighted lantern, counting the contents of the money bags before dividing the loot, and did not see the old Indian scout begin to regain consciousness.

[The Lone Ranger]

Boys, it looks as if there might be more money here than we thought. Give me that other bag, Red. Yes, sure, boy.

[Narrator]

Andy Burton's brain may have been dim, but his instincts were still keen. The tricks of his craft as scout and fighter were deep within him. So, now awake and aware of his plight, he pretended still to be unconscious. He let his right hand move slowly along the ground until it came in contact with a large stone. He gripped this tightly. Then he opened one eye and moved his head until he could see the scene around the lantern. Then, silently and imperceptibly, he inched back into the darkness. Suddenly, he heard the redhead's voice.

[Tonto]

And.

[Narrator]

He leaped to his feet and threw the rock at the lantern. The rock hit Rico, who staggered back as his gun went off. His body bumped into the lantern, which caught, crashed to the ground and plunged the cave into utter darkness. Andy could hear the cries of consternation from the crooks as he ran toward the opening of the cave. The moonlight bright outside. Shots from inside whizzed around his head as, silhouetted against the opening, he dived into the Underbrush outside.

[Tonto]

Gotta get out here. They catch up with me. I gotta get out of here. Varmints are outside now. First to see me run in here.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger, separated from Tahoe by a few hundred feet, heard the shots.

[The Lone Ranger]

Oh. Steady, Silver. Easy now, boy. Yes. We'll head that way. Easy.

[Narrator]

Come on.

[The Lone Ranger]

Easy. Steady.

[Narrator]

You all right?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yes. Toto, that wasn't you firing. Oh, chop.

[Tonto]

Come over. Listen and come closer.

[The Lone Ranger]

Here comes someone through the brush. All right, you get your hands up. I'll shoot if you move.

[Tonto]

Don't shoot.

[The Lone Ranger]

Light your lantern todo and shoot Andy Burton. Toto, this is Andy Burton.

[Narrator]

Maybe Crook sea light.

[Tonto]

He put out lantern there.

[The Lone Ranger]

I don't know.

[Tonto]

Crooks kill me.

[The Lone Ranger]

Stay down low. Move over this way. Andy, I know you. I think you'll know me when you see my face in the light. I'm your friend. Listen to me.

[Tonto]

I. I hear you. I remember you. Saw your mask just now. Andy, I hear you. It's no use. You can't get away. Where are you?

[The Lone Ranger]

Tell him where you are. Then move fast.

[Tonto]

Go on.

[The Lone Ranger]

Tottle. Here.

[Tonto]

Don't shoot. I'm over here. I have no gun. That's it. Rico. Coming this way. You hear me? I. I have no gun. Andy. It's no use. I'll get you ready.

[SelectQuote Narrator / Podcast Host Andrew Rines]

Toto.

[Narrator]

Red Oldham pushed through the brush, following the sound of Andy Burton's voice. As he did, Tonto rose from the darkness and grabbed him. And the Lone Ranger's gun crashed down on the crook's skull. Good.

[Tonto]

There's two more.

[The Lone Ranger]

Here they come.

[Tonto]

Red, where are you? I'm over here. I can't see me.

[Narrator]

Once more Tahto grabbed. But before the Lone Ranger swung, Rico.

[Tonto]

Shouted, travis, watch out.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger hit Rico as Travis fired blindly from a few paces back. The Lone Ranger fired at the spot where he'd seen the flame from Travis's pistol.

[Tonto]

My arm. And shot.

[The Lone Ranger]

That got him. Totto, you look after that man. Andy, are you all right?

[Tonto]

Say, I sure am. You got em all. The three of them. It is just like the old days. It was. Never seen anything like it.

[The Lone Ranger]

But Andy, tell me, are these the three men who stole the money from the office of a man named Duval?

[Tonto]

Yeah. Light the lantern again so we can see better. This moonlight's not enough. You know, I think they hit me so hard tonight that I'm starting to think right again. I'm remembering things. Yeah. They took the reverend's money. The crooks did. The way I remember, I tried to stop them.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Ably assisted by old, but in some ways a new. Andy Burton met Sheriff Davis, Clay Duval and the men of Polemos on the road east of the town.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sheriff, we took a shortcut while you rode into town. We were lucky. Here are the men you're looking for.

[Tonto]

And here's the Reverend's money. I have it right here. All safe and sound, Sheriff. What do you know? Those are the money bags. All right, men, put the cuffs on those three Kyles. Hi, Sheriff. Red Olimar, Rico Grimes, and of all people, Martin. Martin Travis. Wounded arm.

[The Lone Ranger]

I bandaged his arm. It's not too bad. Sheriff, I think you'll find that Martin Travis is really an outlaw from Texas named Mike Tarleton.

[Tonto]

He sure is. I remember him. Remember, Red? He's an outlaw, too. I'm remembering a lot of things. The hits on the head they gave me did me good.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sheriff, let Andy tell you all that happened. Andy, you were in the center of things, just as you were in the old days.

[Tonto]

There's a lot to tell.

[The Lone Ranger]

All right.

[Tonto]

And on account of you, I'm able to tell it.

[The Lone Ranger]

You'll not need me then. Come on.

[Tonto]

Say, now, wait a minute, stranger. It's no use calling him back. Duval, I told you before, I know the man. That's the way he does things. Does things like he did tonight. Just rides away like that. Yeah, he always seems to come from nowhere, but when he gets to a place, things happen. And always for the good. Just like a preacher, huh? Like Reverend Mitchell, maybe? Well, not just like that. He sometimes uses a gun when a prayer doesn't seem to be working. But if he helps build a church, well. Yep, Sheriff, I'll go along with you on that. But tell me, who is the man? Shucks, I can remember that. He's the Lone Ranger. Sam.
