VGW Group void. We're prohibited by law 21/ terms and conditions apply. In the early days of the Western United States, there were few doctors. But the few there were wrote an heroic chapter in the history of the frontier. Single handed and without proper supplies, they covered vast stretches of territory and brought Relief to the people. They met terrific obstacles in the course of their duty. But against the forces of nature and the superstitions of the settlers, they found one. The masked rider of the plains. 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. We're heading for Mosquito Pass. It's going to be trouble. O Silver. Away. The stagecoach for the west had traveled far beyond Red River. County after county flew beneath the rumbling wheels. Get on there. Get on, boy. Van Zant, Dallas, Comanche. The top of the coach was piled high with wooden cases. And inside a young man was surrounded by more of them. He watched the great Plains and the mountains in the distance. A new country. A country as new as his own career. I'm a doctor now. Medicine Bend, Red Rock, Coldwater. I'm a doctor at last. A doctor. James Bates, MD. I've taken the oath of Hippocrates. Pole Flats, Bigger Bend Knights. Whereby a follower of religion. I believe you health and all heal and all the gods and goddesses. You're wrong. Get up. Rushbank, San Angelo and Marposa. I will follow that system which according to my ability and judgment I consider for the benefit of my patients. Spotsville, Picker Creek and Brent. With purity and holiness I will pass my life and practice my art. Marshville, El Dorado and Vic's Crossing. Into whatever houses I enter. I will go into them for the benefit of the sick. The doctor Grants Pass and Paint Rock. Get up. Get pass. And whatsoever I see or hear in the life of men which ought not to be spoke of abroad, I will not devour Mosquito Pass. Hi there. Rain up there. Rain up there. Hey one take it easy, driver, and you won't get hurt. Climb up t and hand those cases down while I speak to the man inside. Hold on. There's nothing of value to you in those cases. I'm Jim. Dr. James Bates. That's what I heard. Dr. Bates. The pony rider brought word that you were on the stage. This is Mosquito Pass. What of it? Mosquito Pass is your destination. We'll help you unload. I'm not getting off here. I'm sorry to have to take this means of getting you, Dr. Bates. The people around here need you. Why? I. I plan to go to Pecos. Ms. Ferris paid to Pecos. I'll help you with that one, Tadda. Here come. Habit. Look here, mister. Those things. Ah, the things you have inside. Be careful. That's my microscope. I will be careful. Well, if you're determined to unload those things, I'll help. I spent every dime I had for this equipment. You seem well equipped. Is that the last? Yes, but I plan to go to Pecos and I'm on your way. Driver, when you get to town, tell the folks that Dr. Bates is here. He'll be along to see the Haslip folks sometime tonight. I'll tell them a doggone highwayman is here, that they better come down for you on your way. Now get up. Get up there. Wow. Here I am in the middle of nowhere. Did you figure that I'd walk and lug all that stuff with me? Get the wagon, Kimasabi. You got it. There's an abandoned hunter's cabin a little to the south. We borrowed a buckboard to move you there. Bates, you're entitled to an explanation. Seems to me this is a pretty high handed way. You're in a high handed community, Boss. Magruder does what he pleases with the people in Mosquito Pass. He'll find that out. You better get friendly with Magruder. As soon as you've taken care of the folks that are dying like flies from the fever. Fever? Yes. Until this year, Mosquito Pass had only to contend with Magruder. This year, however, has been an epidemic of fever. No one seems to know how to treat it. I. I see. They need you, mates. They need help. We're going to get you settled and then you can take Bart Haslip's horse and buckboard back and call on his wife and children at the same time. Haslip, that'll be your first case in Mosquito Pass. My first. First case. Pretty high fever, Doctor. Will the children live? We'll pull them through. Haslip, if you ride back to my place, I'll give you some medicine for them and my wife. Now don't you worry. Well, it's been something awful, Dr. Bates. Folks dying every day. I never seen the like of it. Oh, those dreaded mosquitoes. I've noticed them. Are they always as bad as this? They used to be. That's how it got to be named Mosquito Pass. But we didn't have none to speak of till this year. It's Magruder that's to blame. The children should be protected from them. Hang some wet sheets over the door and windows. Keep as many of them out as you can. All right, Doctor, whatever you say. I'll go back with you now, huh? All right. As for that buckboard and horse, you'll be needing a horse to get around on. Yes, you keep that. Keep it till you get one of your own. And Doc, you save my wife and kids. Pull them through this fever and that horse and wagon's yours for kids who can. Whoever it is, we'll speak to them outside. I want those kids disturbed as little as possible. Yeah, sure thing. I heard the duck was here. Haslip. Oh, Mr. Magruder. Just a minute. Mind if we talk out here on the porch? My, don't matter where we talk. My business is brief. Brief and to the point. It's you, Doc, that we want to speak to. Yes, my name is Magruder. You've heard about me, I suppose? Yes. This is Mr. Bernard. He's mayor of Mosquito Pass. Bernard, shake hands with Doc. Base. I'm in a little hurry. I have some other people to see and. Hey, what's this about the stage you come on being held up? What did you hear? The driver told about the mask. Met an Indian that held up the stage, stole your stuff and abducted you. That sort of thing can't be tolerated in mosquito pads. We got law here. A couple of men who helped me unload my things. Maybe the driver mistook that for a hold up. What? That's all there is to it. That won't do. You shielding this highwayman. Was anything stolen? Well, exactly. I don't see any reason for complaint. This Mashman. What do you want me to do about it? Lodge a complaint. File charges against him. He can't run this town with high hand like he's trying to do. We won't stand for it. What else has he done? Magruder? He called on me, hinted that I was the cause of the mosquitoes. Even accused me of being the cause of this fever that hit the town. And that's crazy. Everyone knows that a mosquito bite don't amount to nothing. Scratcher. And that's the end of it. The masked man thought. Wait, Haslip, I'll bring that medicine to you. I've got to come back here anyway. Doc, where are you? See you later. Get up. Get up. Ran right away while I was talking to him. Where does he get off at the. That's an insult. I couldn't see where he was installing. Haslip. He's shielding that mask man. Oh, now, Haslip, you aren't forgetting a little item of mortgage on your plates here. You don't let me forget that, Magruder. Borrowers have to be careful who they choose for friends, Haslip. And who they give the land of horses. Come on, Bernard. I'm filing a complaint against this. This man with a mask. I'll tell the sheriff. He tried to rob me, but that ain't so, is it? How do you know? You weren't there. Dr. Bates brought special equipment from his little shack. First at the Haslett cabin and afterwards at the other cabins in the pass. He prepared small bits of thin glass that he carefully stored in special boxes. That night, as he worked with the light of an old oil lamp intent over his microscope, he heard the clattering of hoofs outside. Now what? Oh, you. Hello, Dr. Bates. I talked to this man Magruder today. Yes, it made an enemy. He's stirring things up for you. I know Todd has been around town and he told me. I came to speak to you about that swamp on Magruder's place. Swamp? There used to be a fair sized stream of water running through his ranch and then north through the edge of town. Magruder had his men dig a new channel that the stream would water. A new pasture he fixed up. Yes. Well, when the stream was changed, the old bed dried up, except for one large low spot which remained stagnant. The place is bred mosquitoes until there are menace in the town. Yes, I heard something about that. Isn't there a chance that it's those insects that cause the spread of disease? Just wait. Wait until tomorrow when I see how my patients have responded to the medicine. Then I'll be sure whether or not this fever is one that's brought by mosquitoes. If the quinine has brought a quick change for the better, I'll know. Hello there, Haslet. Well, hello, Doc. Just looking for you to come. I'll. I'll be needing that horse and buckboard today. Oh, then your folks have. Oh, they're up and around today a lot better. Well, they are. Well, I'll have a look at them. I. I reckon you won't be needed, baby. Hazlip. What's the matter? What have I done? I'll take the horse now. Needn't bother unhitching. I'll tend to it. Now, wait a minute, Haslett. This is the second place I've been this morning and found this same sort of attitude. What has Magruder been saying? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. Very well, Hendrick. I'm glad you folks are better. Won't me needing you no more, Doc. But if your wife's fever has gone down. I don't know about that. I'd most sooner see her fight through the people without no help than have her made well by dope. Dope ain't nothing Else could cure so quick. I gave no dope. I simply. All right then. Oh, the fools. The poor blind fools. I ask no pay. I ask no help. I simply want to make the sick people well. One man's greed. One man afraid he'll lose a little pasture land. And so all these poor creatures have suffering and death. There he is. Come on, boys. Come and get him. Bernard. What's the matter? Take him alone. Wait. Now, wait. Hold on. What are you doing? Try to make the poster out of dopamine overnight. You're crazy. Take the rail, boys. Ride him out of town. Then smash up his place and burn it down. Oh, you fool. You fine and crazy fool. The mob seized the doctor. His clothing was torn by rough hands. A rock opened a jagged cut in his cheek. He was ridden on a rail to the edge of town, given an old mule and then come back here again. We'll shoot you. Now get. Now for that, Jackie used. Led by Magruder's friend, the mayor, and accompanied by the sheriff, the men stormed up the hill to the doctor's shack. Medical supplies that had been brought a thousand miles were spill to the floor. Glassware, chemical equipment and even the precious microscope were thrown into a heap and oil spilled over everything. Now touch a match to the whole shebang and we'll stand back and watch her burn. Flames leaped high and the half crazed men shouted their satisfaction. That'll be enough of Doc Bates and Mosquito Pass. Look at her burn. We should have thrown baits there to burn along with it. That's what we learning to feed our home hound do. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger drama. Before the next exciting scenes. Please permit us to pause for just a few moments.
