the early days of the western united states the cattlemen resented the invasion of their territory there were bitter disputes over boundaries and water rights and the bad feeling between the two factions might have fled into open warfare if it had not been for the masked rider of the plains no one could equal his strength and courage his daring and resourcefulness and it was his vision of the future that united the farmers and the ranchers in a common cause it was he more than any other man who finally made possible the winning of the west return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear from out of the past come the thundering hoof beats the great horse silver the lone ranger rides again hello silver we're heading for hopeville it's going to be trouble earl silver away the lone ranger had disguised himself before entering the town of hopeville and as the stage drew up in front of the express office he stood with tonto on the edge of the crowd they watched two cattlemen push their way toward the stage and then let's see if there's any craziness there is yeah yes one funny baggage he's got a board and a little black bag throw my wall bag and express office driver i'll pick it up later boss that's bob langer well shoot me for a coyote bob howdy gosh it's good to see you j what are they sir just a second while i get this bag in my other hand and nobody's called me that since you left except a few rustlers and homesteaders it's been four years that's right i knew you'd get fed up with chicago and come back here where you belong well this is the only home i have terry you're welcome boy come on we're going over to the cafe and celebrating that sounds good to me oh yeah what have you been doing with yourself all that time oh i wrote you terry wearing city clothes messing around with dudes how's you standing well i admit that it was pretty tough at first but i got used to it albert hoop here looks mighty small he's bigger than when i left it plenty there's one thing that hasn't changed though you still got a job waiting for you on the old flange of you thanks judge i told you when you left you'd always have one now wait a minute i wrote you hombres but i don't think you ever learned to read just middle and fair i told you i was going to school and i was studying to be a doctor that sure was a good one we got the joke all right buckaroo like bob learning to be a sawmill it wasn't any joke i've graduated now and i've come back home to practice this town needs a good doctor doc miller ain't so bad he's a vet what are you talking about what kind of a doctor did you study to be hey look look inside this bag you see those instruments do they look as if they were made to treat cattle with oh i don't know cindy do you mean you figured humans yes judd and here's my shingle robert langdon maryland we gotta call you doctor without laughing well i don't care whether you laugh or not but that's what i am you're a tough hand bub there ain't a better cowboy ever set a horse in the state of texas we got a lot of friends around here but just because we're friends that don't mean we're going to take any chances with our health i'll give you a job but i'll be dogged if i swallow one of your pills you can't judge me by what i was when i left here i've worked i've studied i'm a good doctor and i'm going to prove it not on me cowboy better give up the idea if terry and i feel like we do all your friends are going to feel the same you starved at this i can wait for patience there must be a lot of people that don't remember me as a cow hanger homesteaders bob come on back to the flying double no terry but we're not going to argue about it if everybody was as healthy as you two every doctor would starve to death and i'm only hoping you you never need me now come on i hear you right mister are you real doctor on your way perkins my wife's sick will you come out and see her doc miller says he can't do anything for her and she needs doctor and bad get out of here leave him alone judge he's a homesteader you can't be seen talking to him you want people to get the wrong ideas about you no judd i sure don't want him to think i got anything against homesteaders what's that nothing agin him i'm ready to help anyone that needs me what's your name and where do you live i'm lige perkins my ranch is about two miles outside town he's rich i'll get myself a horse at the livery and ride out with you when doc right now you can't do it bob ain't you unpoled yet he's a farmer he's a homesteader there's going to be trouble around here soon you don't want to be on the wrong side try to understand this judd as a doctor it doesn't make any difference to me whether a man's a rancher or a homesteader you going back on your old friend all right if you won't understand i can't make you come on perkins you'll be silly for this bob don't listen to him doc my wife needs your bath i'll do my best i can't tell you what it means to find you like this i know what it means five years ago a pal of mine died out here just because i couldn't find a doctor that's why i went to chicago that's why i come back i know what it means come on the doctor found misses perkins in a serious condition and he paid her many more visits before she was able to leave her bed at last however he was able to pronounce his first patient completely cured and that morning there's nothing more i can do for you misses perkins i know it doctor i never felt better in my life we're both mighty grateful oh we can't tell you how much in words it's oh it's been a blessing to every homestead family in the valley you're coming here well that little jones baby would have died for sure and mamie cartwright she's been ill for months i tell you we've been here most a year now but the valley's never seemed like home before we we just never felt safe it's different now and it's you that's made it that way doctor yeah what are you scowling about lige talking about being safe oh don't you start on a cattleman i'm not it's just in your nature to worry about something why don't you think how well the crops are doing instead they won't do us much good if we don't get them harvested what's going to stop us well you got to remember the doctor here was a cattleman once himself and that proves they can't be as bad as you think they are i swear to goodness doctor the way lige talks you'd think the ranchers were fixing to run us off our land maybe they are nonsense we got deeds from the government haven't we we haven't seen any troops around here have you what do we want with troops that's the only way the government can protect you doc you get around a lot have you seen anything of a masked man and an engine in the valley masked man on a white horse yeah i've seen him once or twice not very close could walton or some of the other ranchers be hiring outlaws i can't believe the judd would do a thing like that i used to work for him that was before we come here the masked man's got some reason for being in the valley lige you can understand why the cattlemen don't like the idea of homesteaders it means the end of open range but at the same time they still have plenty for their herds they have plenty of water they may talk a lot but they won't do anything i hope you're right it's just a feeling my bones gave him a tonic doctor that's what he needs who's that somebody just rained up outside the masked man and the indian elijah jed walton and his men are breaking down your north fence they're getting ready to drive a herd into your corn huh you better come with me right away hurry up l may be a trick doc this is the outlaw i'm not an outlaw but there's no time to argue he's right come on just a second while i get my rifle oh be careful l don't stop the saddle of horse you can ride with me i'm ready i hope that you'll come too doctor i mean oh lodge be careful if it comes to shooting let him have the not me get up yep all right saddle i'll lead the way doctor come on silver there they are look at them it took me six months to build that fence i haven't started to drive the cattle through they won't neither let me talk to them that's my property and i'll have my say bring up master all right you maverick stay away from that fence get back on your old ladder i'll pour hot lead into you listen to it hey maybe that'll show you i mean business i'll come closer next time take it easy lige you taking serge with that rangy from above he's trying to prevent trouble for both of you you're breaking the law judd call off your men we got our own law we don't stand for fences lige is here to protect his property he's ready to fight it out and we'll back him up they got ten men here there's just three of you who killed the injured there's four of us you'd pull a gun on your old pods i'll have to borrow one from the masked man to do it but lige is in the right and you're wrong if you're gonna make this a showdown i'm fighting with him thanks doc what about it judd give you a warning perkins there isn't room enough in this valley for homesteaders if you want to live get out of here it's my land and nobody's gonna drive me off in it all right boys get the herd moving he can't drive us out i'm gonna get all the farmers together we'll keep our fences guarded night and day if it's war we'll fight to the last man jud's heading for the ranch house i'm going after him you're going to try and reason with him yeah do you mind if we come along you called your horse silver didn't you yes and the injun's name is tanner that right i'll be glad to have you and not lizzo don't worry i got work to do come on masked man get up there boy come on silver get him up you're wasting your time i'll silver away you're afraid this means a ranged war aren't you mess man it looks that way pretty bad the shell's too far away there aren't any troops within one hundred miles you're the only man who can prevent it you got a pretty good reputation when it comes to stopping trouble i'm counting on you we'll help you all we can there's judd cutting around by the corral i like to catch him before he gets in the house him rein up he sees us judd's got a heart as big as a bucket but he's a stubborn old cuss look at that horse he's riding think about a time he's having with him hit plenty mean it's worse than that he's a killer every cowboy on the spit has tried to make jud turn him out but he won't do it just stubborn judd doesn't have the strength to handle him he won't admit he's getting old hiya judd what do you want now just a little talk now look here judd those homesteaders are nice people you'd like them if you got to know him a little better i'd rather make friends with the rattlesnakes oh you're afraid if the government moves more homesteaders into the valley you won't have enough ranger water but that won't happen the government knows what it's doing there's plenty of room for everybody that's here you heard what i told perkins i'd get off that horse if i were you getting ready to buck let him buck and that's another thing i'm not in the habit of taking all the smarts you ordered me off perkins land hold him shut he's down that horse is gone from here can him come on boy pet him silver the curtain falls on the first act of our lone ranger story before the next exciting

stallion reared to meet the flashing hoofs of the outlaw and knocked him off his feet judd's life was saved he was unconscious from the fall and the lone ranger carried him inside the ranch house tahoe raced back to the perkins farmhouse with a doctor's bag and then half an hour later he'll open his eyes in a second now don't try to move judd you've broken a couple of ribs well take it easy what happened your bronc threw you and then he tried to kill you he would have if it hadn't been for the masked man and that white horse i never saw anything move so fast masked man guess i better take back a few things i said the doctor says you'll be all right if you don't leave the house for a while dugby you really are that duckbee hurt you bob it'll be doug if he ain't proud of you one of my boys don't bust out crying judd it won't do your ribs any good who's crying take care of yourself son i am joe no i mean it we cattlemen don't have any fight with you the same thing goes for the masked man and the engine i am taking it for granted they're your friends but if those homesteaders don't move we're going to wipe them out if you stand with them that goes for you too judd with the bar d and the circle x you got close to fifty men over fifty you outnumber the homestead is two to one rich wouldn't feel any but that don't make any difference to the mass man they are in the right you got your own ideas about that they're in the right and he'll fight for them the odds don't make any difference let him die if he wants to but he happens to be the lone ranger judd you mean that i do what's good enough for him is good enough for me i'm stringing along with him yes what i said still goes you'll die all three of you you're a stubborn old cousin now get out of here doc you made up your mind so the next time you see me go for your guns i'll be here tomorrow to put a fresh bandage on those ribs oh you won't eric oh my shady that comes from talking too much meant what he said you die all three of you oh i'm stunned mister how long will it be laid up they won't be able to keep myself the saddle for more than a week a week judd's the leader of the ranches they won't do anything until he's better you got planned the way judd talked to the doctor gave me an idea he'd hate to see you hurt bob i know all the cattlemen feel the same way about you as for the homesteaders every one of them appreciates what you've done since you've been here what's your idea tado and i are going to leave the valley for a few days we'll need the help of an old friend anything i can do just one thing go on about your business as you have been and don't buy any guns yet i've been figuring on a little practice don't buy any guns until tyler when i get back anything you say mister you'll hear from us on the day judd walton is well enough to ride come on silver hit him up scarlet away a week passed and the farmers worked their fields the cowboys rode herd but both homesteaders and cattlemen knew the truce was only temporary the war would start when judd walton wrote again one morning the day began with the ominous sound of indian war cries floating down from the hills at noon judd called his men together and here's shut up boys and listen close none of you and billings will have the men here at three o' clock we'll get going right away get all the bullets you need make sure you're ready where we heading first boss i've got word that as soon as they know we mean to attack all the farmers are going to get together perkins please he'll send his wife away and that'll shoot us fine we're not going after women and children but there won't be a man alive tonight unless they throw down their guns and agree to our terms what about bob he'll take his chances with the rest of them get ready at that moment lige perkins stood on the porch of his home a six gun in his hand yep it'll be here in less than an hour i'll saddle bessie for you and you can ride over to the cartwrights no you got it i won't this is my home nobody's gonna make me leave it it's my fight as much as yours can't stay here we fought together before some of you are sure to get wounded and i can help that way i can a chance to keep the doc out of it tell him he's needed in here with you so we can have some place to bring the men who are hit i've been trying to think of something we'll meet him at the line you'll be safe in the house and so will doc we're all here caleb you ride with me mature bros boss that sounded like the mask man there he is coming like the wind hold it mame maybe the farmer sent him maybe we ain't made any secret of what we're going to do we'll listen to him anyway you'll figure they're giving up yes only only what well you don't sound like a little ranger do that another minute you'd been too late maybe too late now what are you talking about bob langdon has been captured by indians the dog he was riding along the south trail a war party rode down from the hills and surrounded him which way to go back to the hills you'll have to hurry come on men the doc's been captured follow me and at the perkins farmhouse you sure chato uh huh engine get duck if those ranches weren't what difference does that make let them tear down our fences and burn up our crops that they want to the duck's our friend you gotta save him you're right are you with me men and come on come on there's tanner judd he's brought the farmers with him we don't need them i heard that chad walton when it comes to that we don't need you there are over a one hundred indians in the party every one of you is needed the doctor means anything to you he better forget sick grudges and fight together not right will last man's talking sense i didn't say he wasn't but this is for bob and nobody else you're right if those red skins hurt him we'll show him get up there i'll silver away with a lone ranger and tto in the lead the the ranchers and the farmers raced for the hills just as the trail began to climb otto raised his arm the signal to rain up what's your meditude you lost the trail you listen injured they're behind us they circle down through the canyon now they're heading back across the valley you can see them judge hey they're heading straight for your ranch which make you feel mighty happy nothing of the sort i hate you like poison but i hate them words they burn your ranch i'll chase them here to california your local hayseed get your perks around mindy max rail they're heading east and i'll chase him into the mississippi come on look now hey they're cutting away from your ranch and riding for perkins farm yeah maybe jud paid him to do his dirty work for him what's it they'll burn my crops in the house the law will be able to touch you i assume traveling with us john yes man will you tell this easier that we got law in the west when it comes to trouble like this we settlers stick together ain't you forgetting i'm a farmer ain't you forgetting these engines you got bob them stop yes they stopping in front of your place light i see him get up there my wife's in that house but you leave it there for your food ah shut up take it easy fe i know how you feel we'll get them all come on silver they've gone on here we got to stop and see about perkins way of course he didn't stay long lige he's all right oh oh oh boy mary mary come and miss manny right with you mary hello lige well boys did you have a nice ride what a nice ride she's all right come on we can't forget the dogs wait a minute mister walton if you're looking for doctor langdon he's in other rooms we gotta get huh somebody asking for me doc didn't the engines heavy after all yeah yeah they captured me but they decided to leave me here before they started for home come on lads we're not gonna let them get away with reading this van i'm with you wait a minute judd you too large those indians are friends of the lone ranger i don't think he'd like it if you chased them anymore what's that what's going on here those are chief thundercloud's men thunder cloud don't live around here he was painted like apache i know but that was part of my plan plan i don't get it gather around boys and hear the story i think they'd like you to explain master i got a question little sturdy mad where have you been ever since that day you saved my life tyler and i rode to thunderclouds village the chief and a hundred braves came back with us we've been camped in the hills for the last two nights this morning tyler brought us word that you were well enough to ride we knew what that meant just as all the rest of you did yes you had most forgotten what we knew the signal lige had arranged so when he fired the three shots the doctor took a ride along the south trail the indians captured him and santo and i brought you the news is that clear yeah it's clear but what was the idea i ain't so fond of riding that i like to go chasing ten or fifteen miles just for the fun of it we hadn't brought that message just when we did half of you would be dead now that's true judd and you know it is it was just a trick to sturbish it was a trick to bring into your senses suppose there had been a war party of apache well together farmers and cowboys and ranchers you might have had a chance against them split up and you wouldn't have sure that's what i said while we was riding when there's trouble we settlers got to stick together i was glad to hear you say it now judd the first thing i want you to admit is that you cattlemen don't need any more range or any more water can say we do you admit it yes i admit it in other words there's plenty of room for both farmers and ranchers in the valley you have to pin a fellow down like yes or no judd yeah i'm only asking you this then you've learned the quality of the men who followed lij today wouldn't you like to have them around in case geronimo and his apaches really do raid the valley i never knew until today a farmer could stay on a horse why i was riding when you was knee high to a grasshopper oh but l when you come right down to it that cayuse you ain't much good i got little beer my corral it'll shoot you fine why don't you call me all right tando you going masked man we want to see thundercloud before he leaves the hills judd didn't answer your question he didn't have to and i'm glad you didn't make him he's feeling mighty ashamed of himself the future of this country depends on men like judd and lige and you doctor but you must learn to work together yeah united we stand and we'll never fall adios adios and here's old doctor buckaroo himself you ought to be ashamed of yourself doc riding around with a pack of indians in war paint just to show you there ain't any hard feelings i'm gonna buy some of your pills yep i'm gonna spend my whole salary on pills land sakes these cattlemen are human doctor i'm finding out the same thing about farmers ma' am and where's that mashman i got his too late for that terry gone
