After shooting three persons, They fled in an easterly direction, but in order to throw off their pursuers, backtracked and continued to the west, Seldom resting, eating hardly at all. The outlaws continued to ride for three days. Then, when they and their animals were at a point of utter exhaustion, they halted. Casey Martin called his brother to one side and said, eb, if there was anyone following us, we've shaken them off by this time. Yeah, Casey, we're in sad shape. The horse is Almost finished. The boys are hungry. I know, I know. So whether we like it or not, Ab, we have to take a chance on being seen while we try to get food and horses. Have any idea where we are? No. We've never worked this part of the country. The Kid says he's been here before. He says there's a town called Dunmore west of here. Few of us are going there with him while the rest stay here. We have to rustle up some grub and some new horses. Maybe something to drink. Ab, Martin, the Kid and three other outlaws, including one called Johnny, reached the outskirts of Dunmore in the afternoon. Ab made a decision. Kid, there's no chance anyone will recognize you, so you go into town now and order the grub and look for the horses. Boys and I'll go in when it's dark. We'll stay at some cafe till about 10 o', clock, then meet you. We'll hide over there among those trees till dark. The Lone Ranger and Toto, in the wild hills to the north of Dunmore stopped at the gold mine of prospector Jack McVeigh, a man they'd known for many years. They were surprised to see that the entrance to the mine was blocked by a massive round boulder, which Jock was trying to remove with no results. Jock, after greeting them, said the last time you were here was a year ago in the summer. Ah, it right after you start to dig here. Aye. I did a lot of digging too. Kept at it all summer and fall. Must have dug 40ft straight through that hill right behind the rock. What's the rock doing there? Lodged in the entrance. Man, do you know how it snows and blows once winter sets in up here? I do, Jock. The weather's really bad, dad. It's the worst. Once the snow started, I scooted out of here. But first I used my mule to help me push that rock agin the entrance to the mine. No, I can't move it away. Well, stop worrying about it, Jock. Otto, take this spade and start digging a shallow trench away from the boulder. I'll use your pick, Jock, and loosen the dirt that's holding the boulder tight. Totto dug a narrow trench from the rock to the top of a small incline that leveled off about 10ft from the mine entrance. Then, when the boulder was loose, they rolled it along the trench as a train might roll on a track. They stopped when the boulder rested on level ground. Jock McVeigh thanked them and invited them to eat with him at his cabin a mile away from the mine. But the Lone Ranger Declined. No thanks, Jock. We'll set up camp as we always do. We'll not be too far away. Perhaps we'll see you in the morning. At that moment in Dunmore, Deputy Sheriff Rudy Carmack, breathless and popeyed, burst into the office of Sheriff Tom Wayne. Ed Martin. It's him, Sheriff. It's him all right, I'm sure. What are you talking about? Ab Martin, the outlaw. He and three other fellas are sitting at a table over in Kick Glasgow's Cafe. But the report we got from Allen City said the gang headed east after they robbed the bank there. I don't care what the report said, Sheriff. All right, all right, Rudy, round up every man you can get. Do it fast. We're going over to the cafe and take those hombres we into Dunmore right in the open, would they, huh? Come on, we'll show. There were 10 deputies with Sheriff Wayne and Rudy Carmack when they rushed into the cafe and covered Ab Martin and his pals. Martin, you're under arrest. Watch out, Sheriff. Nice shooting, Sheriff. You're wing two of them. Don't shoot again, Sheriff. We give up. You fooled us this time. Throw your gun in, Johnny. That's Four Legged Pete. Get those two wounded arm. Brace the duckies. Ab will take you and your powder. Ideal house for a while. Go to it. You never hold us there. No, you're right. Because we're putting you in a stagecoach and driving you back to Allen City where they want you. We'll start looking for your brother and the rest of the gang tomorrow, Sheriff. I'm going after that stagecoach. Rudy Carmack hurried to the stable and sought out the owner. Josh, get your stagecoach fixed up, huh? The sheriff wants to hire. Sure thing, Rudy. Say, there was some excitement you had over at the cafe, huh? Yeah. Caught A.B. martin and another outlaw and shot two others. That's what we want the coach for. To take Martin and his pal to Allen City tonight. We figure if we leave right away, we'll get there. As Rudy Carmack talked, a figure standing in the shadows seemed to melt away from the stable. The young outlaw known as the Kid had heard enough. He hurried to where his horse was tied, mounted, then headed for the hills and the place where he knew that Casey Martin and the rest of the gang waited. Takes him to Allen Cities than when we rode on today. Those filthy Slytherin rats take a nab and Johnny like that. Well, they're not going to keep them. You're gonna try to hold up the stage case. We'll blast the stage on Every tin badge rattler that's guarding my brother. Boys, get your guns and your rifles. Kid, we've been waiting here for more than an hour now. You sure this the road they'll take to Allen City? I am, Casey. I checked when I was over here. Coming around the bend in the road. It's a stage coach. There are four riders with us. Guards. There are none of us, boys. Blast the guards first. Get up. Give it up. The outlaw's initial burst of fire sent three of the guards tumbling from their horses. The fourth rider and the shotgun guard returned the fire. But the outlaw's attack was as relentless as it was unexpected. Bullets wounded the fourth guard and one of the lead horses on the coach. As the wounded animal fell, the other horses piled up and the stagecoach careening turned over. Driver and shotgun guard were thrown to the road unconscious. Hold your fire, boys. No more ABs inside that coach. AB and Johnny, we got to get him out. We got to get him out. Well, Casey, we got Ab and Johnny out of the coach, all right? They're banged up bad. Not as bad as a sheriff and that deputy. So what are you going to do, Casey? What we plan to do. Get away from here as fast as we can. Let's get Ab and Johnny onto a horse, all right? The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments.

So every morning, take on a bowl of Cheerios and milk. For real. Go power. You like that wonderful toasted oat flavor too. Downright delicious. Come to think of it. Cheerios is one of the tastiest muscle building foods you can eat. Try Cheerios and you'll hear he's feeling his Cheerios. Now. To continue, the outlaws high in the hills had trudged on relentlessly for five hours. Casey Martin, leading the horse that carried his brother, called through the darkness. Kid, I think you got us lost. Doesn't seem to be any direction to where we're going. I'm sorry, Casey. Only more moonlight. Maybe I could. Casey. Boys, look there. Behind the trees. It's a light. Hey, it's a cabin. Boys. You see, that means grub. Let's go there. Prospector Jack McVeigh and his cabin had lighted a lantern when he heard hoofs and footsteps Somewhere nearby. He walked to the door and opened it as Casey Martin and the Kid stopped outside. Well, who are you? What do you want out of there, pup? Who's with you? Nobody. But I asked you a question first. I know. Geezer boys alone. Leave the horses. Come on in. Wait a second, you. Out of the way, old man. Why, you young whippersnapper. I'll bash your head for pushing me. Stop waving that lantern around like that. You're getting oil all over the floor. Give me that lantern. Hey. Hey, what's going on here? Break it over your head. That's what I'll do. What's up, Lame? Busted, you skate. Hey. Fire. The place is on fire. Casey, get out. Get out. We can't stop. Yeah, I know. Get away, everybody. Hey, look. The cabin's on fire. Who did it? Casey, what happened? That fire caught on in a second. Did I told you to watch out. Where is that old geezer? Hey, you p. Satin devils. Where's that young. There you are, Daddy, swinging. The Kid's knocked out. You old louch of broker's head. Just for that, I'll give you the same. Are you as Tracy Martin's BL and Jock McVeigh crashing to the ground beside the kid, the flaming cabin exploded as the blaze overheated a drum of coal oil inside. Flames are spreading. There'll be a forest fire. Take that horse with AB on it and let's get away from here. Can't stay here. Move back. The Lone Ranger and Toto, in their camp less than a mile away, saw the flames, heard the explosion and rode through the night to the scene of the fire. It's Josh Cabin. Toto. There he is. Over there on the ground. Me see him, other man beside him. Let's drag them out of harm's way. Come on. This is far enough. Hit me again. Easy job. Easy. You're all right. I'll die sure. Oh. Oh, shoot. Lie still, Jock. You'll be all right. Another man. Bad shape. Kimasabi did not come too easy. What man hit him? Oh, young coyote, huh? I did that to him. Hit him with a sack full of gold nuggets. That's what I did. Jock, the fire is not going to spread. But it's too late to do anything about your cabin, so tell us what happened. Excitedly but briefly, Jock related the events leading to the fire. The Lone Ranger asks Jock, are you well enough to look after this young fellow? I am. I'll tie him up just to make sure he doesn't try any funny stuff when he comes to that'll be a long time from now, I think. Come on, Tutto, let's go after the others. Look, men, straight ahead. The Lone Ranger and Toto tied their horses to a tree, then quietly made their way through the underbrush till they reached a spot near the group of men. They could hear the crook's words and phrases from time to time. There's no forest fire after all. Let's go back and get your kill. Oh, he's mistake. Let's get away. We'll have a look at that spider man. Somebody gonna have to find a place to hide soon have some bad shape. When one of the men lighted a match, the Lone Ranger and Tonto saw three faces in the pale yellow flare. Todo. That's Casey Martin, man. With an outlaw too. That's a gang. Every sheriff in the west is looking for. Todo, you ride back to Dunmore. Get the sheriff and all the help possible. Meanwhile, I'll try to join the Martin Gang. Come back here a bit so we can talk more freely. The fleeing Martin gang, some of them still badly hurt, reached a decision after a meeting of many minutes. The leader, Casey Martin, accepted it. All right, boys, we set up guards and rest here an hour or two. This is a bad place. Freeze, mister. Move and I'll shoot. Why, Casey, I came here to do things for you. He knows you, Casey. Sure I do now. You too, Rafo, Hugh Gilligan and Jamesy. Hey, who are you? How do you know us? Anyone who knows anything about real outlaws knows you boys. Funny, I could meet you up here. What's the idea of the mask, stranger? Why do you fellows wear bandanas at times? People I know wear masks when they do a job. I'm just different enough to wear mine always. Never mind the talk. Maybe you're somebody we don't know. This isn't our territory. Don't I know it. Look, it'll be dawn soon. This is a bad place to be congregating. It sure is. After shooting up a sheriff and his men setting fire to a place. Keep your trap shut. There's a hideout just a short distance from here, Casey. Nobody knows about it but me. I'm heading there now. I heard you fellas. You have one. Where? Just over the ridge in a cave. A cave big enough to hold this entire outfit, horses and all. I'd like to take you there, Casey. If you and the boys want to go. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter to me. Casey, do what he says. I. I'm weak and need a Rest. Me too. Well, I don't know what. Casey. Oh, all right. Doing this for you, Ab. Stranger, you still haven't told me who you are. But a mask means only one thing to me. You're an outlaw, too. So lead the way to this hideout of yours. Leaving Silver where Tato had tied him, the Lone Ranger unerringly led the remains of the Martin gang to Jack McVeigh's mine. There were lanterns inside, and the men lit these. Casey, give me some water, huh? Sure, Ab. Wait till I get my canteen. Well, you boys are settling down here. I'll get rid of the prince outside, are you? Stay here, fellas. I'll be seeing. Hey. Hey, you, wait up. Casey, water, please. Oh, sure, sure. Here, take something easy now. I am. Do you get a look at that mask? I'm there. Something about him I don't like. It's as if. Wait a minute. I'm sorry, Ab. Hey, boys, I just thought of something. There's one masked man in the west who's not an outlaw. Get your guns ready. I'm going out and find out if this could be the hombre. Casey Martin, his eyes suddenly bright, ran from the mine into the night. Hey, you, masked man. Where are you, masked man? Over here, Casey. Yeah, where? Hey, what are you doing with that polar? You're pushing it. Well, you double crosser. I know who you are. You're the Lone Ranger. That gun. Lone Ranger. That's who you are, aren't you? Yes. Stop that gun, Casey. No. I'll fight. Take it. No. As Casey fell unconscious from the punch, the Lone Ranger ran to the boulder. He stood behind it and with a mighty effort pushed the giant boulder in the groove made earlier, rolled down the incline and slammed tight against the opening to the mine. Strike right in the middle. Stop shouting. You're locked in there till the law comes. Go ahead. Push against the rock, all of you. You'll have to squeeze through to get out and it'll be one at a time. I'll have my guns ready. Waiting. Late that morning, Toto appeared with Sheriff Wayne, Rudy Carmack and other deputies. Jock McVeigh, who was with the group, spoke first. How do you know, man? You have them cooped up in the mine just like Tonto said you would. Yes, Casey Martin tried to come out. You'll find him bound tightly over by the tree. His brother, Ab, is inside with the rest. They ambushed us last night. Almost killed me and my men. Lucky we're turf. We survived. Aye, me too. Burn the place down, they did. And bashed me Holy. I bashed a little myself. That whippersnapper's head would be getting fixed by doctors for weeks. That lad was an outlaw. The kid they call him. Well, they'll call him by a number now instead of a name. That is, if they don't hang him. He told us they have the Allen bank money with him. Well, let's get it. Me and cover that open. A few of you work that boulder away from the entrance. Now, if the mass man will only see the mass man. He was here a second ago. Where is he? That Indian was holding a white horse. See, the mass man's on it. They're waving to us. And they're riding away. Aye, it's the way he always does. Works by himself till crooks are ready for capture, then lets the law step in. Yes, I've heard them say that. I guess it's why they call him the Lone Ranger. All right, Ben, let's open up mine.

The story showcases the show’s enduring appeal—action-packed narrative, larger-than-life characters, and the comforting certainty that justice will be served, thanks to the masked rider of the plains and his loyal friend, Tonto.
