With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful mask 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. The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver. Let's go, big fella. Are you still. When outlaw Jim Gatlin felt the law closing in on him, he assembled his gang of desperados, including co leader Frank Harrison. Boys, we gotta face facts. Texas is getting too hot for us. Especially for me. Yeah, Jim, they have posters with your picture on them in every town we go to. Frank's right. With the reward of $10,000. Someone's liable to turn you in. That's why I'm going up to Kansas and work with my old pal Gus. Florida faring again. Oh, I remember Gus. You boys want to come with me? Why, sure not. Gus has run the cafe in a place called Trailville, 40 miles south of Dodge City. He wrote and said he'd line up some jobs for riding by night and resting by day. The outlaws reached the outskirts of Trailville, Kansas, where they separated and entered town at intervals, singly and in pairs. Jim Gaplin and Frank Harrison went to Gus Farron's cafe. Gus, a troubled look on his face, led them into his private office and lifted a poster from the top of his desk. Jim, look at this. Look at what they plastered all over this town last week. Yeah, my picture. The same poster they used in Texas. Yeah, it tells about you being a murderer and a bank robber and about you escaping from jail. You don't have to tell me. I've read that lots of times. You know, Frank here is the one who led the boys when they broke me out of the jail in El Paso. Yeah, the law wants him and the boys, too. Yeah, but they don't have their pictures spread around. They can get by. But Jim, you can't. The law's tough here. Where'll I hide out? I don't know this territory in Garrison. That's a town not far from here. It's off the main trail. And there's no post office, no telegraph office, no stagecoach station, no nothing. What about law? They have an old geezer they call a marshal. Another one who acts as a deputy. But they're alive. They just wear the badges so they'll feel younger. There aren't enough people in that town for them to protect. Well, I'm going into the cafe for a while. Frank. You come with me. All right. I think I'll ride over to Garrison tomorrow evening. Look the place over. On the following evening, the always rash Jim Gatlin slipped out of Farron's cafe office and rose to Garrison. There he entered a cafe. He kept his hat low over his eyes and stood at the deserted end of the not too crowded bar. A small elderly man eyed Gatlin for a few minutes, then quietly left the cafe. The man was deputy sheriff Alec Bascom, who ran robbery legged to the office of Marshal Tom Searles. Tom. Tom, get your gun. He's in the cafe. Who? That army on a poster we got last week. He's here in Garrison in the cafe. Jim Gatlin? Yeah. Jim Gatlin's thirst was greater than his caution. He saw the two elderly men at the bar but paid them scant attention. Not until they moved next to him did he recall Gus Barron's description of the lawmen in garrison. Before Gatlin could move, one of them pressed a gun against him. You're covered, Gatlin. From this side, too. All right, men. I respect two guns more than I do one. Now put your hand down there. Alec, snap the cuffs on him. Put your wrists together there. No two bit tin badgers like you clowns are gonna send me back to Texas. You think not, Gavin? You'll see differs once we have you in the lockup. Alec, he'll ride over to the telegraph office in Trailville and get in touch with Texas authorities. And I'll tell him to bring that $10,000. Oh, ho there. Oh. It was after midnight when Deputy Marshal Alex Bascom reached Trailville. The telegraph office was closed, but by inquiry he found the operator in Gus Farron's cafe. Say there, they tell me you're the one who sends messages over the wire. You heard right after office hours. I'm Deputy Marshal Bascom of Garrison and I want to send an important message right away. What have you got to say that's so important? Marshall, we've just caught Jim Gatlin, the biggest outlaw in the entire West. You captured Kaplan? Yep. Happened in the hoosca over in Garrison now. So you gotta open up that office and wire the authorities in Texas about it. Come on, follow me. Gus Farron and Frank Harrison, both in the cafe, had heard Alec Bascom's blatant announcement. They hurried into Farran's office. Then Harrison said, that fool. That crazy fool, Getman. Gus, we warned him not to move around where he could be recognized. And now he gets himself in a jail. Ah, they probably picked him up in some cafe. That's where he always heads. We gotta get him out of that jail. I have a heavy guard for Jim. You can bet on that. Gus, can you get me a deputy sheriff's badge somewhere? What? Why not? Sure, sure. There are ways of getting everything. Why give those hombres over in Garrison a day to get used to having Jim Gatlin in their jailhouse? Then send him a telegram. We can't. There's no office over there. But wires are delivered from here, aren't they? Yeah. Well, listen. One make believe telegram and a sheriff's badge will get Jim Gatlin out of that jail. I'll put on the badge. Late tomorrow night, the message of Jim Gatlin's capture reached Texas. It also reached every other telegraph office in surrounding states and territories. Soon the word was being passed in streets and stores everywhere in nearby Dodge City. Among those who heard the news the next afternoon was an Indian. When Toto learned of the outlaw's capture, he sped back to where the Lone Ranger waited in camp. There he told the masked man about Jim Gatlin. The Lone Ranger's reaction was immediate. Tado, we'll ride the garrison at once. Here's over. Ah, it's not far, Kimasabi. We'll make it by 10 or 11 o' clock tonight. Me wonder why Jim Gatlin go to Garrison. We may learn when we get there. In Trailville, Gus Farron secured a telegraph blank and prepared a fake message. One of the outlaw gang rode to Garrison that evening and delivered the message to Marshall Searles, who was seated at his desk. As soon as the crook left the office, the marshal opened the door to the next room where Deputy Alec Bascom sat before a cell guarding Gatlin. Alec, come here a minute. And easiest crook unguarded. He's not gonna have time to break out. This'll only take a minute. All right, don't bother coming back, you old goat. That's enough out of you, Gatlin. What is it, Tom? Yeah, look at this. Oh, a Caligrain man. Is it an answer to the one I sent last night? Not exactly. It's from Sheriff Williams of Amdorada County, Texas. Says have word you captured outlaw Jim Gatlin. Deputy Rance Phillips has been trailing Gatlin for months and is now in Indian Territory. Have advised Phillips to proceed to your office at once and claim prisoner who is wanted for murder in its county. It is time, Sheriff Williams. What are you going to do, Tom? Just wait till the deputy shows up. Then we'll go to the judge in Trailville and find out what's legal in a case like this. Now you'd better go back to guarding our $10,000 prisoner. Right. We'll continue our Lone Ranger adventure in just a moment.

Cause champions are made, not pork. Yes sir. Get on your way, get on your way. Get on your way with Wheaties don't ever doubt it. Champions are made, not born. You can get there. For example, take the story of Wheaties champion Stan musial of the St. Louis Cardinals. Young Stan was willed. No claim to fame, no magic way to learn the game. He had to sweat and give his all. Learning to field and hit that ball sure Wheaties was his breakfast call. Today they call him Stan the Man. Still and always a Wheaties fan, Stan Musial has been powering up with wheaties right along. 19 years. Good for Stan. Good for you. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties flake. Now watch. Stan felt that fall. Hey, hey, hey. He's on his way, on his way. He's on his way, on his way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Cause champions are made, not sports. Yes, sir. Get on your way. Get on your way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Breakfast of champions. Now to continue. Later in the evening, Tuttle called on Marshall Searles, told of the Lone Ranger and escorted the old lawman to the masked man's camp. After an exchange of questions and answers about Jim Gatlin's capture the marshal showed the Lone Ranger the telegram he had received and said, then I got this message from Sheriff Williams of Endorada County, Texas. Marshal Chuck McCullough, Sheriff of Indorado. He has been for years. We see him last month when we in Texas. Must be a new man then. Who delivered this message to you from the telegraph office in Chailsville. This isn't a regulation message form. Huh? How do you know it isn't? The telegraph company uses two forms. One with the public uses. The other for receiving messages. Is used only by company personnel. This is a public form. I'd suggest you check on this wire. I'll do that. Wish you'd ride back to town with me and advise me how to handle this. Omri, Gatlin, Totto and I'll both go with you, Marshall. As the Lone Ranger, Trotto and Marshal Searle set out on the short journey to Garrison, a man entered the marshal's office. He wore a shining silver badge on the lapel of his coat and a wide grin on his face. Frank Harrison, in his role of sheriff, had purposely timed his entrance for this late hour. He saluted the surprised Alec Bascom, who stood near a door at the side of the room. Howdy. Am I talking to the famous Marshall? So Marshall's not here. I'm Alec Baskerman's deputy. Glad to know you, Alec. I'm a deputy myself. I'm From Indorado County, Texas. Hey, you must be that fellow. Rance. William. Yeah. Where's Gaffin? Locked up in the shelves right behind this door. But you can't claim him, Phillips. You gotta make arrangements with the court. I haven't come here to try and take him away illegally. You'll get your reward all right, if that's what you were thinking about. Well, I just wanted to tell you, no offense, man. I know that. I suppose you have a big guard looking after Gatlin. You don't need a big guard. Two of us are enough to guard that hombre. Where's the other man? In the cell room, keeping an eye on him. Do you mind if I take a look at Gaffin just to make sure there's no mistake? There's no mistake, Phillips. He's Gatlin. No doubt about it. He admitted it. Still want to see him? If you don't mind. Oh, you'll sure be surprised to see me. I bet. Follow me. Phillips. Louie, I want you to meet Deputy Sheriff Phillips from Endorado, Cod, Texas. Elliot, is this the gent you were telling me about? Yeah, Bluey. He's the one in the telegram. All right, you two, get your hands up for it. Gun. Good work. Nice, Frank. I knew you'd get me out. You're not a sheriff, you're a. You shot Elliot. He shouldn't have reached for a gun. Don't you find a king? No, sir. Keep your hands high and go close to the cell door. That's it. Jim, can you reach his holster? Yeah, yeah, I have his gun, Frank. Good. Now, Louie, take your keys and open the cell door. Yes, I'm opening it. Thanks again, Frank. Is the gang with you? No, they're still in Trailville. You, Louis, get into that cell. Of course, I'll keep you covered while Jim ties and gags you. Never mind the COVID and I'll take care of him. You banish that other armory. At that moment, Marshall spurs entered his office followed by the Lone Ranger and Toto. An office is empty. Alec must be inside with Louie. I'll go and see. Alec. I came back to get this, Frank. Good thing you heard it come in. I didn't. He's out like a light. He'll be cold for hours. This is the marshal. Let's pick him up and put him into the cell with the other two. Yeah, he's heavy. And place him on the floor and open the cell again. This will take care of the entire law department of Garrison. But it doesn't take care of the Law department friends. Jim, behind you. Mask man. Cut him my way. Jim. Let me shoot. You're too slow. Gatlin an Indian too. He's the one who shot me. Yes, and he'll take your guns and lock you in the cell where you belong. I don't know. I'll keep them covered while you lock them up and try to revive Marshall Searles. Ah, me do what? Kimothabi, Alec and Louis were released and a doctor was called to attend the wounded deputy and the two crooks. In the morning, every able bodied man in Garrison was recruited into a special posse. And all promised to keep the outlaws under constant guard until proper authorities appeared to take Jim Gatlin to Texas. Then Louie repeated Frank Harrison's conversation, adding, he told Gatlin that the rest of the gang is in Trailville. If that's the case, we'd better advise the sheriff there at once. Yeah, you're right, mister. We'll go to Trailville anyway. Even though we're sure now that telegram was a fake, we'll still check on it. Marshall. Let's find out, if possible, who wrote the message and send it to you. All right, Tunnel, let's go. In Trailville, the Western Union operator read the telegram which Marshall Searle handed him. Then snorted Docs. Marshall, I never wrote this. What's more, no such message ever came over these wires. I know that handwriting, though. You do? Yes. I just happen to be reading the telegram I sent yesterday. Written in the exact same script. It's right here. Just a minute. There you go. You see? See that? That is the same writing, isn't it? It sure is. And the fellow who wrote it is Gus Fan. He owns a cafe. Up to speed here. And mister, he said the man who wrote this fake telegram was a feller named Gus Farren. Gus Farren? We know that man, Kim Sabi. Of course we do, Toto. Marshall, that ties up. Gus Fern was a desperado in Texas. He and Jim Gatlin rode together at one time. They must have joined again recently. If that's the case, listen, go to the sheriff here. A short time later, while the masked man waited outside in the shadows, Marshall Searles told Sheriff Luke Gray of Trailville what the Lone Ranger had in mind. And the masked man says he he thinks he might be able to trick Farron into leading him to where Gatlin's gang is hiding. Marshall, in view of what you told me, I'll go along with the idea. May save us time and bloodshed. Tell the mask man to get into Farron's office. No one will interfere. Tell him I'll have a big posse ready to follow in case he and Ferrin ride off together. All right, sheriff. That afternoon, assured that Gus Farren was in his office, the Lone Ranger pounded loudly on the door at the rear of the cafe. Farron himself opened it. Who are you? Wait. Don't reach for your gun. Get back inside and listen to me. Hey, what is this? Who are you? A man whose face mustn't be seen here. I came to tell you that Jim and Frank are bottled up in Garrison. Bottled up? What do you mean? That telegram you faked messed things up a bit. What? How do you know about that? I came from Garrison this morning. I was with Jim and Frank. They're still back in that town. And Gus. I'm here to get the gang together to get Jim and Frank out. I should never have told that hombre to come out here. All right. I don't know how you're mixed up in this outfit, but. And I don't know what Jim does anymore. Then take me to the gang and I'll explain the plan. I'll take you, but it'll mean riding cross country ways. It's just as well with me wearing this mask. Yeah. Come on. I'll get my horse and we'll ride to the hideout. There's the place down the hollow. Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. Hey. Why you whisper, you rattly, you dirty rattler. That Sheriff Green is posse. You had him follow it. Come here, you. That instant the Lone Ranger leaned across his saddle, grabbed the man roughly and pulled him onto the ground. Tonto, at the head of the posse with Sheriff Gray and Marshall Searles reached the struggling men just as the Lone Ranger's blow knocked out got found. I take it, Sheriff, the gang's in that cabin down in the hollow. Have your men right around the top and surround those crooks. They'll never get out. Sheriff. Sheriff, the outlaws heard us. Look, they're coming out the channel. Man, you heard what the mask man said. Surrender them. Don't let him get past us. There's no other way out. Right around him. Keep firing. Down at him. Me time this on repairing. See that he doesn't escape. TTO I'll help the posse. Sheriff. They're giving up. See, one of them's waving a white cloth. You're right hand. Hold your fire. All right, you down there. Hand. Drop them up here. One at a time. Deputy. Search of the time. All right. Well, it worked out, Sheriff. You have Gatlin's gang. You turn them over to the Texas lawmen when they come here to get Gatlin and Harrison. Yes, and I'll drive Farran out of Trailville at the same time. You'll get the reward for Gatlin, Marshall. Well, I'll see that Alec collects that. But the masked man's the one who did. Everything seems even down, Herschel. He and the Indian are riding away. Adios, Sheriff. The masked man's yelling something to us. They're all yours. Adios. What do you know? Adios. Adios, stranger. Adios. But he's no stranger. He's our best friend, Sheriff. He's the Lone Ranger.

On underestimated frontier lawmen:
“There aren’t enough people in that town for them to protect.” — Gus Farron (05:30)
On the mask man’s sharp eye:
“This isn’t a regulation message form… I’d suggest you check on this wire.” — The Lone Ranger (15:05)
Classic Lone Ranger exit:
“But he’s no stranger. He’s our best friend, Sheriff. He’s the Lone Ranger.” (25:15)
The episode maintains the spirited, earnest storytelling and colorful characterizations that defined the golden age of radio Westerns. Dialogue is snappy, direct, and rich in frontier vernacular—with a clear moral center anchored by the Lone Ranger’s heroic interventions.
“Garrison Finish” epitomizes the classic Lone Ranger formula: a notorious outlaw on the run, small-town lawmen underestimated by all, cunning deceptions by the bad guys, and the relentless justice delivered by the masked hero and Tonto. Fans of vintage radio drama will appreciate the episode’s tightly plotted action, clever twists, and moments of both courage and wit—all brought to life in restored audio that enhances the original’s vivid soundscape.
