With the fleet of light Cloud of D and the haunting high of Silver the Lone Ranger. 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 yester. From out of the past come the thundering hoof beats of the Green Horse Silver the Lone Ranger. Cowboy Tom is a boy of six. He knows all kinds of cowboy tricks. He can rest the steer because he knows he's got goal power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got goal power. There he goes. He's stealing his Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios. Yes, it's a fact. Cheerios does give you real go power. You see, Cheerios is made from oats. And every delicious spoonful of Cheerios and milk is real muscle building food. Each spoonful contains vitamins, minerals and proteins your body needs. Yes, the good things in a Cheerios breakfast do good things for your body, help you have healthy nerves, good red blood, sweep strong bones and muscles. And Cheerios is so much fun to eat with its distinctive O shape and its wonderful toasted oak flavor. So tomorrow morning and every morning, start the day right with a Cheerios Breakfast. Then you'll hear people say he's feeling his Cheerios. The Civil War had just ended and veterans of both armies were heading for their homes when a tall leader man named Joe Coffin entered the Silver Eagle Cafe in Redwood City and strolled to a corner table. The cafe was crowded with Union soldiers and Joe was afraid of being recognized as a deserter. But army desertion was the least of his crimes. During the four years he had led a gang of ruthless thieves and killers in raids on towns and settlements in the border states of Missouri and Kentucky. Now the war was over and Joe wanted to make new plans. He was thinking about the future when a swarthy skinned member of his gang joined him. Sit down, raccoon. What's eating here? Take a look at this newspaper. I bought it in Belleville. Let's see it. It's all there. The whole story. Starting with a headline. Joe Copen's Raiders Captured by the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger? Yes. Go on. Read what it says. While they await sentence, the Lone Ranger is pursuing the remaining members of the gang. A killer named Rocco and Joe Coffin himself. There's a lot more on the inside face. Killer? Look, a gunslinger pal of mine followed me from Belleville. He said the mask man, his injured pal, picked up a trail there. He's after me right now. If he's following you, he'll come here and find me. He won't find either one of us. We hit the trail. Found him. We'll have to go into hiding. Who'd hide us? Frisco, Benedict in Furnace, Cricket, That Shaston. He's put us up before when the law got close. He'll do it now. Be better if we split up. The masked man can't follow two of us once. All right. I'll meet you at Benedict's office in front of Creek. Let's see that you lose the mask man's engine, pal, before you get there. Rocco traveled fast, allowing neither himself nor his horse time to rest. But in spite of his best efforts, he could not lose his pursuers. The day after he left Redwood City, he caught sight of two horsemen in the distance. Shading his eyes against the bright noonday sun, he saw that one of the riders was masked, the other an Indian. He spurred his horse frantically, but his pursuers kept gaining on him until finally they were within shooting range. Snatching his gun, he turned in the saddle and fired. He emptied his weapons, but it was impossible to shoot accurately from the back of a hard running horse. The masked man and the Indian drew closer. Faster. You leave bitten kind of Satan. Faster. You hear me? Get up. He raked the flanks of his horse with cruel spurs in a desperate effort to escape. But it was no use. The exhausted animal could go no farther. Rocco knew he was trapped. Grabbing cartridges from his belt, the frenzied raider was trying to reload his empty gun when the Lone Ranger shouted, put on that gun. Not before I cop you. You haven't a chance. I came to that. You asked for that Rocco. You broke my army. Teddy. Fix. All right. Out of stone. All right. Why did you kill me? You had the chance. I'll let the law take care of that. So you'll turn me in? That's right. But they'll hang me. You'll get what you deserve. See if he has any other weapons. Tahlo. Where are we going now? To the nearest United States marshal. You'll see that you go back to stand trial with your pals without be sending. So hang. Folks in these parts hate mortar raiders worse than horses. Why shouldn't they hate you? While their men were away fighting, you and your pals found it easy to plunder homes defended by old men, women and children. I denied for a sermon. You asked for a chance to escape the gallows. I did anything to escape hanging. Oh. Would you be willing to help the law? How? Tell me where to find Joe Coffin. You want me to turn squealer? That's one way to win leniency. But turning Joe in. You might be sentenced to life imprisonment if you talk. But whether you talk or not, Tono and I'll find Joe Coffin. Just as we found you and your pals. Wound or bandage? Now, Kino. Thanks, Toto. Get the Samarocko here. Maybe. I don't know where to find you. He's got easy for us. I'll find him. Yes, I think maybe you will. All right. That's awesome. I might as well. Nothing to lose in the rock. To gain those go into Fiscal Benedict's office in Perlis Creek. All right. Head for Belleville. Get him up. The Lone Ranger and Cottle turned their prisoner over to the marshall in Belleville. Then they started for Furnace Creek. They traveled steadily for two days after darkness fell. On the evening of the second day, they drew rein in a place of concealment off the trail to eat a meal. As they sat beside their small campfire, they heard the hoof beats of an approaching horse. Hello. We may have a guest. Whoa. Whoa, boy. Hi, there. Hello, soldier. I was riding along the trail when I saw your campfire. Will you share our meal? I hoped you'd ask me, mister. I'm mighty hungry and. Sit down. Thanks. Downright nice of you. My name's Tom Pinder. I reckon if you wanted to be known, you wouldn't wear a mask. That's right, Tom. But the mask doesn't mean I'm an outlaw. I don't care what it means. You offered me a meal, and I'm grateful. Oh, here. Food, Tom. Thanks, Hinton. Tastes mighty good. Well, you're plenty. So feel free to eat your food. That's reckless talk, mister. I've been hungry ever since I joined the army. I could eat my way through a whole store full of food. Are you on your way home? Yeah. I'm going back to my pa's place in Furnace Creek. Have you always lived there? Yeah. If you're wondering why I'm wearing a gray uniform instead of a blue, the answer is that my PA and I both sympathized with the slop. You needn't explain your sympathies, Tom. The war split a lot of families split ours all right. My pa's brother was a strong Union man. Does he live in Furnace Creek? Yep. He was the one who wrote and told me about Paul's death six months ago. Oh, I'm sorry, okay. Maybe it's just as well. Pa didn't live long enough to know how the war ended. The Lone Ranger refilled Tom's plate while Toto fed the young soldier's horse. When Tom finally had enough to eat, he helped the masked man and Toto clean and pack the cooking gear, then rode away by using shortcuts. He reached Furnace Creek sometime ahead of the masked man in Tahoe. As the Lone Ranger and his Indian friend approached the small community, the masked man said, when we reach town, I look for the sheriffs out of tunnel. I need his cooperation to get Joe Coffin. It's not good. If someone in town seen that, I'll pull my hat brim low over my eyes in the dark. The match may not be noticed. And watch me do watch Frisco Benedict's office. I want to know whether or not Joe Coffin has reached town. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lonely Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. G man Jimmy is 8 years old. He is strong and he is bold. He can capture outlaws. Cuz he knows he's got Go power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got Go power. There he goes. He's feeling his Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios. You bet. Cheerios. The oat cereal that needs no cooking. Every delicious spoonful of Cheerios and milk is real muscle building food. Each spoonful contains vitamins, minerals and proteins your body needs. Yes, the good things in a Cheerios breakfast do good things for your body. Help you have healthy nerves, good red blood, strong bones and muscles. And besides giving you Go power, Cheerleo's is downright wonderful. Tasting that toasted oat flavor is really something. And when you add milk and your favorite fruit, say some sliced bananas. You're in for a delicious breakfast treat. Get the whole family off to a good start. Every morning, Cheerios. Then you'll hear people say he's feeling his Cheerios. Now to continue. Joe Coffin had just reached Frisco Benedict's office. As he closed the door behind him, the small, thin faced lawyer stared in dismay at the notorious raider Joe. Howdy, Frisco. Rocco here yet? I haven't seen Rocco for over a year. I hoped I'd never see you again. I'm in trouble. I heard how the Lone Ranger captured your gang. He'll get you too. And I am not going to jail for hiding you. You'll go to jail if you don't hide me. That's why you'll hang. I'll see if the law finds out you're wanted for murder. And Ev, you've held that murder wrap over my head for years. I wouldn't have to stay here if I had cash up to bribe my way across the. If I had that much money, I'd give it to you just to be rid of you. Tell me who has the cash and I'll get it. Hey, wait. I know where you might get money. Lots of it. Sam Pindler was worth a. He died about six months ago and left his money to his son Tom. Tom's still in the army. What about the money? Sam buried it in the cellar of his house. How do you know? I was his lawyer. I drew up his will and I have a letter in my safe for Tom. The letter was sealed, but I steal it open. It tells Tom where to find the money. How come you didn't go after it yourself? I've gone straight. Besides Sam Pender, the sheriff Pender's brother. Why didn't Sam ask the sheriff to take care of his cash? He and the sheriff stopped talking to each other when the south left the Union. But the sheriff knows about Sam's buried money. And he likewise knows I have the letter for Tom. After Sam died, the sheriff told me that if anything happened to the money, he'd come after me. Sounds like the sheriff doesn't trust you, Joe. After you. On your way out of town, I'll tell the sheriff you broke open my safe and found a letter. I'll tell you what. To pin this place and put the cash. Even though he suspects me, he can't jail me without proof. You'll have the money and I'll be in the clear. Quiet down. Frisco, huh? Someone's outside. The back door. Oh, you're hearing things. No one would be prowling around my place. Yeah, I'll open the door. You there, get your hands up. It's an Indian. I told you I heard someone out here. Step inside, Engine. You make mistakes. Just keep your hands up. That's it. Look out, Joe. He's going for a gun. Oh, you throw it. You knocked him out, Joe. Nobody's head's harder than the gun barrel. Take his guns while he's unconscious. All right, but who is he? I think his name's Tunnel. Tunnel? Yeah, the sidekick of the Lone Ranger. How do you know? I told you, the masked man was after me. The engine must have followed me here. That's true. The Lone Rangers like me to come here. Oh, he'll not find me. You bet he won't. Now get out. No, no, you're coming with me. We'll take the Indian with us to Pinder's place. You'll have to kill him. And I don't want to get mixed up in another murder. We'll fix it so his body's never found. Now, come on. We've got to move fast to stay ahead of that mask man. Meanwhile, the Lone Ranger found Tom Tinder in Sheriff Pinder's office. The ex soldier introduced the masked man to his uncle as a friend. Then he said, oh, why didn't you and Tonneau say you were heading for Furnace Creek? I could have shown you a shortcut. If I'd known you were related to the sheriff, I'd have taken you into my confidence. Tom. What's your business with me, Mr. Sheriff? I'm looking for a Joe Carpenter. So a lot of other fellows madams. Hello, mate. Yes, I heard that the Palm Ranger's looking for Joe Coffin and for a critter named Rocco. Rocco's in Jim Belleville. Joe Coffin's the only one of the gang left. I want to take him back to Belleville to face trial with the rest of his raiders. Uhhuh. What makes you think the skunks around here. Rocco talked. He's screaming. You Coffin. He said Coffin planned to hide out with a man named Frisco Benedict. He might have been lying. Well, there's one way to find out. Yeah, let's go. The three men went to Frisco Benedict's docked office. The door was unlocked. Come on, we'll go inside. All I need is that there's a lamp on the table. I'll let it go ahead. Benedict must have left here a short time ago. The lamp's still warm. Close the door, Tom. Right. Someone left a horse out there. It sounds like Scout. Scout? My friend Toddo's paint. Where's Tony? He was watching this office. If your pal's outside, mister, he might be able to tell us which way Benedict went when he left here. Come on, you're asking questions. Very well, James. There's no one out here, Toto. I reckon he's gone. If Benedict left here on foot, Toto probably followed him. But he didn't leave on foot. What's that? There's the barn where he stables his horse and keeps a buckboard. The door is open and the place is empty. Yes, Scott. Where you going, mister? Back to your office to get silver. Then I'll follow those wagon tracks, Sheriff. And I'll go with you. And so will I. Let's go. Come on, Scotto. Benedict, drew rein in front of Sam Pender's dark and deserted ranch house two miles from town. And Coffin, cut the ropes around T's ankles there. Arran, get out of that wagon. Walk ahead of us. After forcing the lock on the front door, the three men entered the house. Frisco found a lamp in the living room and struck a match to light it. How do we get to the cellar, Frisco? Come on, I'll show you. Joe followed Frisco to the cellar. There, Frisco placed the lamp on the stairs according to the instructions Sam left for Tom. The money's buried right here. Guess. Spade. We'll start digging. Don't listen. Keep digging. Frisco. Wait a minute. I thought I heard something upstairs. Nothing to hear. The place is deserted. Sounded like a door opening. I don't hear a thing. I'm going up and look around. Don't take the lamp. I'll leave it down here. There's a candle on the shelf. I'll use that. Don't waste any time up there, Frisco. Back here and give me a handle this digging job. I want to get the cash clear out of this place. Frisco shielded the candle carefully as he made his way upstairs. He moved into the living room, then suddenly stopped right there. If you make a sound, Frisco, I'll blow your head off. Sheriff, what's the idea? You'll find out. Take the candle from him, Tom. Right, Uncle Dan. You better stand still, Frisco. Even without the candle, enough moonlight shining through the window is to make you a perfect target. Now, now, wait a minute, Sheriff. Let me explain. Plenty to explain. Listen. Someone's digging in the cellar. Come on, Tom. We'll see who's down there. I'm with you, mister. Moments later, the Lone Ranger and Tom listened at the top of the cellar stairs. They heard the sound of a spade thrown aside and Joe Coffin's exultant shout. Let's go. I found it. Cash box is over. That cash won't do you any good. Get your hands up. Joe. You look, mister. There's Cardo. Get his ropes. Tom, take that gag out of his mouth. Keep your hands away from your holsters. Joe. You. You broke up my gang. You captured my boys. You're the last of the gang left. No. No. Rocco. He'll get you. Rocco told me where to find you. Rocco told you? Yes. He's in jail in Belleville. You'll see him there in a few days. Why you don't finish that draw? I'm matching my speed. I'll do more than match it. My arm. You wink me. They are turned up. Thanks, John. Thanks. Look pretty good. Get gag out of mouth. Are you all right, Toto? Me all right. Team Usabi. Joe Coffin. Fellow named Benedict come here to steal money. The sheriff holding Benedict upstairs. Now that the fight's been taken out of Joe Coffin, we'll join them. Several hours later, masked man were on their way to Belleville with Joe Coffin as their prisoner. Frisco Benedict was behind bars in Furnace Creek's jail when the sun rose, lighting the eastern sky. In his office in the jail, Sheriff Dan Pinder exclaimed. Hey, Tom, we should have brought that box of cash to town. With a lock on the man's house door busted, anyone could go in and steal it. That money's not worth stealing. Uncle Dan. That box is full of Confederate bonds and paper money. Are you sure? Pa wrote and told me he was converting most of his cash into Confederate money. Well, don't burn it. Why didn't he tell me he knew what you thought of the Confederacy. Oh, now, Tom. The war's over. Uncle Dan and Pa's money is gone. But I've still got the ranch. I'll go to work to try to build it up again. Yes, way too. Fisco Benedict hears that he and his pal were digging for Confederate carriers. I always figured that tallow faced shyster was no good. But it took your mask friend to prove I was right. Say, how'd you happen to meet the Lone Ranger, Tom? The Lone Ranger? You mean that mask? I knew who he was. As soon as he said he was after Joe Coven, Benedict knew who he was too. Well, how do you like that? I was sitting at his campfire eating his food and I never knew he was a Lone Ranger. I don't. Yes, sir. Get on your way get on your way get on your way with pleading champions are made, not born. That's true for any of us. Practice makes perfect and practice made pretty. Betty Shallow, figure skating star of the Ship's Tads and Johnson Ice Follies. As a little girl on figure skates, Betty practiced her figure eights.
