[Andrew Rines]

Welcome to the Old time radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines, and I'm excited to bring you another episode absolutely free. This is one of over 80 episodes released monthly for your enjoyment. Now, let's get into this episode.

[Narrator]

A fiery horse with the speed of.

[Juan Moros]

Light, a cloud of dust and the hearty Hyo Silver, the Lone Ranger. It.

[Narrator]

With his faithful Indian companion puzzle, 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 yestergear. From out of the past come the thundering host beats of the great.

[Juan Moros]

Horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Horse Silver. Let go.

[Narrator]

Many events happen to terrorize the settlers and ranchers in the territory surrounding Laredo. A brazen gang of outlaws led by a ruthless bandit chief from across the border, Juan Moros, struck time and again, yet always managed to escape the law. The first move by the gang that had attracted attention was a midday raid on the Laredo bank when the sheriff himself was going out. Money at the teller's window.

[Juan Moros]

There you are, Sheriff.

[Narrator]

$300.

[Juan Moros]

Thanks, Steve. I'm gonna buy a mighty fine palomino with this. That's fine. You getting them at a bargain price? Yep, sure am. I'll tell you all about it sometime when there aren't other folks lined up behind me waiting to get here to your window. Well, that's nice of you, mister, but I reckon you and those other armies aren't interested in hearing about how I bargain for a horse. Oh, but we are most interested in the money you have to pay for. You what got all the others? Oh, no. Every man got their bank money. Hey, Jim, it's a bank hold up further. And they all got guns. Not to mention my savings money. See, senor? And I also have a gun at your back. I'll take your gun now. By thunder, this is the most brazen thing that's ever happened. You can't get away with a thing like this in broad daylight. But we are getting away with it. My men are about finished back there getting the bank money. All right, Juan. We got everything. Good. Very good. Now, Dusty, you and the men put the sheriff and the others in a box for safekeeping, huh? Now, see here. This is all too. All right, all right.

[Narrator]

Yeah, we're ready to leave now, Juan.

[Juan Moros]

Now, we stole on and get to our horses. Come along, sen.

[Narrator]

The next move made by Juan Morris and his gang was Against a special siege from Corpus Christi, bringing not only a shipment of new paper money to the Laredo bank, but also telling as a passenger. A rear admiral of the United States Navy was going from his ship in Corpus Christi bay to Fort McIntosh near Laredo, a distance of about 125 miles. The admiral, accompanied by two aides, was going for a special conference with a fort commandant concerning contraband being brought into the country by boat. At the last stage weigh station, he had changed into dress uniform with plumed hats for the expected reception at the fort. A raid by one and his gang was entirely unexpected.

[Juan Moros]

I hope we soon reach the port. There must be further rocking of a ship to the infernal bumping of this vehicle. I agree with you. We'll soon be done with this rough riding. This Friday. Please take care. We met outlaws.

[Narrator]

Outlaws? Yes.

[Juan Moros]

They said he would give him a fight if that's what he walked. Yes, sir.

[Narrator]

There are five attacks on the gangster.

[Juan Moros]

How do you stop the cars? Be careful you don't get a bullet. Driver try out of money. Oh, I did not know there were such distinguished passengers in the corps. Please shoot. My man is at the other door, senor. And one of the small back windows. You and your gunman won't get away with these. We are upstairs in the United States Navy. I and my men are standing here at the coach only as a precaution for seor while the others obtain a certain money box from the order estate. The further precaution? I shall unload your guns. Senoris, listen to me, please. We shall shoot to kill. Seor. You've got the best of his. Have to do what he says. Yes, sir. It's mine. That's mine. I return them to you here.

[Narrator]

You'll be caught and hanged.

[Juan Moros]

We'll report this to the fort. So the exploits of Juan Moros and his men have already been reported to the port, Senorit. We're ready to leave war. Get him in the mount. You see, senor Admiral, I have not disturbed you much, nor have I robbed you. But there is one thing that has taken my fancy, senor. I must have that groomed hat to wear very simply before I give you that. All right. Bullet, senor. Take your choice. You. You better give it to him, sir. Yeah.

[Narrator]

Bless your ticket.

[Juan Moros]

Gracias, senor.

[Narrator]

Almirad.

[Juan Moros]

See, I put it on you. The sombrero worn by the great Juan Moros.

[Narrator]

There.

[Juan Moros]

It's an expensive sombrero, seor. Any fair exchange is not the robbery. No, senor. Let us leave you.

[Narrator]

From that time on Wong always wore the Admiral's plumed hat when meeting his gang on a raid. And the sight of it brought fear to those who saw it, for they knew it meant trouble. The Lone Ranger and Toto had heard of the notorious Juan and the plumed hat, and they headed south along the river trail toward Laredo. The masked man waited in a secluded grove while Toto entered town to get a few supplies, but especially to try to get recent news of Juan Moros.

[Juan Moros]

Later, as the two men left the.

[Narrator]

Grove and rode back toward their camp, Tle told what he had learned.

[Juan Moros]

Now me go to store, not hear Takamoros. Then me go to cafe.

[Narrator]

You heard something about him there?

[Juan Moros]

Well, at first men talk of cattle rock. You think maybe me leave then feller with whiskers come in when someone seek a mor, he waves. Situation Business fine, fine. Have any more hold ups lately? Jed didn't bring in any more navy men from Corpus Christi, did you? I reckon I was lucky that time to have him with me. Though why Morrows was so interested in that plumed hat, he didn't pay any attention to me. Morrow sure has made their plume had Semuses and. Yeah, I guess he has all right. I reckon since the troopers from the fort near here refused to give up hustle for him, Moros has finally decided to move to safer ground. Fact is, I haven't heard any hold ups or killings in this vicinity by Moros and his gang. Lay baby. Cause he isn't operating around here anymore. Few days ago, before I drove out of Corpus Christi, I heard Moros pulled a hold up on a Trail about 20 miles southwest of there. A trail that follows the coastline down to Brownsville. So he's operating down that way now, huh? Well, we're sure glad of that. Yeah, but I get to feel a little nervous when I travel along the trail where it gets close to Corpus Christi. You know, meeting Moros in this cutthroat gang once is enough for me.

[Narrator]

So Moros and these men are down that way now.

[Juan Moros]

Ah, the break.

[Narrator]

Camp at dawn, Toto, and head south to that coastline trail. Let's get a move on.

The low. Ranger and Tahto finally reached the coast trail at a point where it ran close to the Laguna Madre, a stretch of water between the coast and the line of sandy islands separating the coastline from the Gulf. The two men headed northeast toward Corpus Christi and at dusk pitched camp in a grove on a low bluff overlooking the water. The Lone Ranger estimated they were about 20 miles or so from the town and somewhere near the place where Morris and his gang recently pulled the hold up. That night after eating, the Lone Ranger and Toddle stood looking out over the water from the bluff.

Most of the land in this territory near the coast is low in it. Wouldn't afford many places for outlaws to have a hideout. That's right, Kimasabi.

[Juan Moros]

This plenty clear night, it's easy to see water or gulf beyond islands.

[Narrator]

Look, Kimasabi. Me think me see something moving in water far up lagoons.

There's something there out of the bright moonlight. I can't make it out. Get the telescope for my saddlebag tunnel. You get it.

In a moment, Toto returned with a strong telescope and the Lone Ranger focused it on the object they had seen. After studying the object a couple of moments, the Lone Ranger spoke.

That's a robotauto. There's several men in it, but I can't make out how many heading to the island out there.

[Juan Moros]

Do you not think anyone live on island?

[Narrator]

I'm sure no one does. Those islands are narrow and sandy. There's some trees and underbrush on the island off of here, but most of the others are completely barren. Find the place where that boat left ashore. Oh, that's good idea.

The Lone Ranger and tle rode up the coast trail for some distance. Then they pulled their forces to a slow pace.

They must be near the point from.

[Juan Moros]

Which that boat put out.

[Narrator]

Totto that right.

Look closely for fresh marks along the trail that might turn off toward the beach.

For a short distance the two men rode along in silence with their eyes searching the ground. Suddenly Toto spoke.

Wake him.

Look.

[Juan Moros]

You see fresh hook marks crossing trails. Them come from swampy lands yonder. Yes.

[Narrator]

And they head off toward the beach. We'll follow and see where they go. Come on, get them up.

Count?

Yes. Several horses stopped here and men dismounted.

[Juan Moros]

Ah, them hoof marks go along beach combat.

[Narrator]

Someone evidently led them away. We'll find out where those marks lead to later. Let's walk closer to the water. The boat put off from here. There's the mark where it was drawn up on the sand. Isn't that right?

[Juan Moros]

Boat not in sight now I know.

[Narrator]

Go back now and clear those horses.

[Juan Moros]

Come on. Come.

[Narrator]

The old ranger and Tuttle found that the hoof marks went along the beach a short distance, then turned back and recrossed the trail into the swampland inshore. They drew rein where the trail of the horses entered the swamp.

[Juan Moros]

Trail off after he popped into swamps in the subby.

[Narrator]

Yes. The men who used those horses must know A safe way through there. It would be dangerous for us to try.

That's right.

[Juan Moros]

What you think it all means?

[Narrator]

I don't know. I've decided Moros and his gang own those horses.

Moros?

Yes. I'd say the gang have a hideout either in the swamp or out on that island. So if the hideout camp is in the swamp, I don't understand why they bother to roll to the isle at all.

[Juan Moros]

Unless them have bigger boat on the other side of island to use for getaway. If posse find hideouts in swamp, maybe.

[Narrator]

A large boat does put it on the other side of the island. Toddo, that gives me the idea that Moros might be responsible for the counterband being sneaked into Texas.

[Juan Moros]

I think we'll have a showdown with.

[Narrator]

Juan Moros and his gang sooner than we expected.

The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scene. Please permit us to pause for just.

[Juan Moros]

A few moments.

[Narrator]

Now to continue. After deciding that the trail they had found was that of Moros and his gang, the Lone Ranger and Tottle returned to their camp on the bluff. Dawn was breaking when the Lone Ranger, who was on watch, woke Toto. You wait.

Boat is pulling out from the island.

[Juan Moros]

Oh, we get the place where a boat come in.

[Narrator]

Yes. We'll have to hurry. Let's get going.

A short time later, the Lone Ranger and Tottle arrived at the place where the hoof marks crossed the trail. They rode a short distance in towards the beach, then dismounted and proceeded on foot, moving cautiously through the underbrush. When they reached the edge of the tall underbrush, the Lone Ranger signaled for a halt.

There's a horseman, Toto. He's brought five saddled horses here to meet that rowboat.

Ah, Rowboat's still a long way out from shore.

The man who brought the horses is watching the boat. Try to sneak up and get the drop. Pointing. Come on.

Moving cautiously, the two men started toward the cabbie of horses. The man sitting in the saddle didn't know of their approach until they were only a few yards away. Then the masked man spoke sharply.

Reach and don't move.

[Juan Moros]

What?

[Narrator]

Get off your horse.

[Juan Moros]

Holy mackerel, A masked owl.

[Narrator]

I said dismount.

All right, all righty.

We'll take him out where we left our horses.

[Juan Moros]

Tuttle, hold on. I don't get this. You will.

[Narrator]

I'll take your gun first. Now start walking. Bring those horses.

With Tuttle. Bringing up the rear with the horses, the whole Ranger walked the man back to the grove where they had left Silver And Scout. After tying up the outlaw, they secured the horses, then retweets their steps to the edge of the undergrowth near the beach.

[Juan Moros]

You think maybe men in boats see horses leave?

[Narrator]

No, I think they were too far out to notice. We stay hidden here at the edge of the brush until they land.

Meantime, the men in the rowboat moved slowly across the lagoon. Juan Moros sitting in the stern of a boat facing the beach. Been busy telling the men about his plans for a robbery. When he finished talking, they were about 200 yards from the shore. Juan looked up, scanning the beach. Then he spoke sharply.

[Juan Moros]

What is the notice?

[Narrator]

Quit rolling the horses.

[Juan Moros]

They're not there.

[Narrator]

Hey, one's right.

[Juan Moros]

Maybe Gil's late this morning. Gil has never been late. He knows better than that. Well, what do you make of it then? That I cannot say, Darcy. But we are not going to land. Turn your boat around and head back to the island.

[Narrator]

Prana.

[Juan Moros]

You think something happens?

[Narrator]

Think maybe we'd be going into a trap, Warren?

[Juan Moros]

See, that's exactly what I think. We're going back.

[Narrator]

And why?

[Juan Moros]

The ship which is bringing the contraband to the other side of the island will wait until tonight to set sail. What's it gonna do with us? We shall go on board and have it take us to Brownsville. There we get more horses. What about Gil? He must look out for himself. If nothing has happened, we meet him later. Now start rowing toward the island.

[Narrator]

Waiting in their hiding place on shore, the Lone Ranger and T saw the Robo turn around and head back toward the island.

Turned around. They're going back. Got suspicious, I guess.

[Juan Moros]

What they do?

[Narrator]

They must have somewhere to leave island from the other side. I'm going to try to find a way to get over there. What me do? Get scout and ride to Corpus Christi. I understand there's a naval vessel still anchored there. Tell them you have reason to believe Juan Moros and his gang are going to make a getaway from the island. The Gulf side found.

[Juan Moros]

Go. Get.

[Narrator]

Not far.

[Juan Moros]

You be careful, Kim.

[Narrator]

After Tonto had left, the Lone Ranger, realizing the lagoon was too wide to swim, went to the grove and mounted Silver. Then, returning to the sandy beach, he rode along for some distance. He rounded a point and saw a dilapidated boat landing. And beside it on the sand, was an old flat bottomed boat partly filled with water.

Guess it would take a lot of bailing. Maybe with a piece of driftwood for a paddle, I could make it to the island. Worth a try anyhow.

The Lone Ranger led Silver back into the trees. Then returning to the beach. He took the boat to empty it of water, and pulling a narrow forge in the old dock for a paddle, he shoved the boat into the water and headed for the island, alternately paddling and later that morning, in a shack on the gulf side of the island, Juan and his men were preparing to leave to go aboard a small sailing vessel which was anchored a short distance offshore.

[Juan Moros]

Did you get that stuff back on the ship, Dusty? What's the Russian backing up our things? Thought she said the ship won't put out till sundown. I want everything on board right away. Then we'll go on the ship too, so as to be ready to leave in case anything happens. Don't forget your fancy plume hat back.

[Narrator]

There in your bunk one.

[Juan Moros]

Oh, that would not do at all. I shall wear it to the ship so it will not get messed up in my pack. The captain out there thinking admiral's coming aboard. I just. There now I am ready. Seor Tex and I have our packs. How about you, Dave? Yeah, ready. You ready? All set. Then come on. We'll roll out to the ship and wait for nighttime.

[Narrator]

Meantime, the Lone Ranger reached the island and cautiously made his way through the underbrush until he was in a position to see the shack and also the anchored ship a short distance from shore. As he reached his vantage point, Moros and the others were just getting to the robot.

One of them is wearing a plumed hat. Von Morris and his gang got to get aboard that ship somehow and make.

Sure it doesn't leave. The Lone Ranger waited in hiding for some time. Noon came and went. He could see the men moving about on the ship's deck for a while. Then he noticed only one standing at the stern and evidently intent upon scanning the waters of the gulf. The ship was broadside to the shore and the Lone Ranger decided to make an attempt to swim to the bow of the ship and use the anchor chain to get aboard. He cautiously made his way to some tall reeds along part of the shore, then slipped into the water after hiding his boots and gun bells or taking one gun with him.

Here goes. Manage to keep this gun dry somehow.

Meantime, on board, Moros and the others lounged in the captain's cabin, waiting for the time to depart.

[Juan Moros]

It would suit me better copy for us to sail now. It's too risky, Moros. Don't forget this contrabandable. We won't sail until sundown unless we absolutely have to. All right. You are the port of the ship. Stuffy in here.

[Narrator]

I'm going on deck with some air.

I'll go with you. Wait a minute, Text.

[Juan Moros]

Yeah? What's the matter?

[Narrator]

Thought I saw somebody duck around the end of the cabin.

I'll sneak along this side.

Get your gun handy. You sneak around the other side.

Now get going.

Right. The Lone Ranger had made his way aboard the ship and had started alongside the structure that housed the forward cabin just as he heard the cabin door opening. He quickly ducked around the corner and waited, gun in hand. He was about to start again when a gun was poked into his back and Text spoke.

[Juan Moros]

Reach. What the.

[Narrator]

At that moment, Dusty stepped in front of the Lone Ranger.

[Juan Moros]

I've got a mask on break.

[Narrator]

Yeah, I got my gun at his back, but the swarm out here, his.

Clothes are all wet.

[Juan Moros]

We'll take him into the cabin.

[Narrator]

Why?

[Juan Moros]

Don't want to take that mask off him? See who he is.

[Narrator]

Why don't one of you do it now? Afraid?

Listen to him.

[Juan Moros]

I got him covered. Tex, rip that mask off his muzzle.

[Narrator]

All right, I'll keep the mask.

[Juan Moros]

Hey, let's go up there.

[Narrator]

Gun you.

[Juan Moros]

I will take it.

[Narrator]

With a sudden shove, the Moon Ranger sent Tex falling against Dusty, and they both fell to the deck.

That will stop you for a few minutes.

As the two men fell, the Lone Ranger turned and ran just as a lookout in the stern counted.

[Juan Moros]

Let's see t what's happening.

[Narrator]

He ran around the end of the.

[Juan Moros]

Cabin, cut off the anor h the sail. Hey, there's that madman. He's got the ropes. That pulls the sails out. Nothing. Strike now.

[Narrator]

Amidst great excitement, the Lone Ranger appeared. First one place, then another, with knife in hand, cutting vital ropes and causing dismay and confusion as the naval vessel bore down upon them. Some of the crew cut the anchor rope and others managed to get one of the tails hoisted. Then another cry filled those aboard with greater dismay.

[Juan Moros]

The mask man. You just ain't all real.

[Narrator]

The ship moved out helplessly into the gulf waters and as the man of War came closer, the men began firing haphazardly. Then came a salvo of gunfire from the oncoming vessel. In the excitement, the masked man was home and entirely forgotten, even by Juan Moros. Until, as the outlaw leader was about to go over the side, the Lone Ranger appeared to sign him before he.

[Juan Moros]

Could go for his gun.

[Narrator]

You're not going any place, Moros.

[Juan Moros]

It is you who deserve the ship. I'll thank you. That won't do it.

[Narrator]

Suspicious blows begin to wear him down. Juan looked around for help, but the others were too busy trying to fend off the boarding party from the man of War which had come a long time.

[Juan Moros]

I'll get this over with.

[Narrator]

A terrific blow to the chin and one to the side.

[Juan Moros]

Fells.

[Narrator]

One more and he lay on the deck out cold, the plumed half beside him. At that moment the battle ended as.

[Juan Moros]

The sailors swarmed aboard. This must be the mask my Indians.

[Narrator]

Told us about, Admiral.

[Juan Moros]

You said the Indians hunter for us.

[Narrator]

That's right, Admiral.

[Juan Moros]

He said you were going to try.

[Narrator]

To get to the island.

[Juan Moros]

Some of the comments we've heard didn't let him damage your boys his ship. For one man.

[Narrator]

I did what I could to keep him from setting sail.

[Juan Moros]

By the way, I think this belongs to one of your fellow officers, Admiral. That's your plumed hat. And there's the outlaw who took it. Remarkable. But I never thought any g in battle to get it back. That that man you knock cold as we approach must be the notorious Moro. That's right, sir.

[Narrator]

You have the rest of his men among your prisoners. This ship was running in comfort.

[Juan Moros]

Yes, I'm sure of that. Your Indian friend and some of my men rode back to the point where he left you. He told me some of the gang were camped in the swamp. That's right, sir. I'll have a boot, Lord. We'll take you ashore. Across the lagoon.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger first retrieved his boots and gun bells from the island. Then was his taken ashore accompanied by the Admiral. Tato was waiting on the beach with Silver. Nearby, armed sailors stood waiting with the rest of the gang they captured in the swamp hideout.

Thanks for bringing me ashore, Admiral. Looks like Tano and your men found the other outlaws.

[Juan Moros]

They'll have them and the horses taken by land to Corpus Christi. I can't tell you how much we appreciate.

[Narrator]

That's not necessary, Admiral. That plumed hat had to be redeemed, you know.

[Juan Moros]

Are you sick? Are you pleased? Imagine him being able to joke about that plumed hat after all he's been through. By the way, I don't even know who he is. I do, sir.

[Narrator]

The Indian told me he's the Lone Ranger.

[Juan Moros]

I this is a feature of the.
