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.

[The Lone Ranger]

I'm Silver. Let's go, big fella.

[Ollie Moonan]

I am Silver.

[Narrator]

Miles Janis, the richest ranch owner in the town of Richland died and left his fortune to his son David, a confirmed gambler in ne' er do well. During the next two years, Dave Janis gambled away his cash reserves and was forced to sell his entire stock of cattle to buyers in Kansas City. His ranch foreman, Ollie Moon, a former cattle rustler, was with Dave when the young wastrel paid off his trail gang. Then, taking the rest of the sale money, Dave headed for a Kansas City gambling house. Late the next afternoon, after a night of gaming, Dave Janis lost his last chip.

[The Lone Ranger]

That's it, men. Bull house wins kings over Jackson.

[Dave Janis]

It's me.

[The Lone Ranger]

Better luck next time, Philip.

[Narrator]

Janice turned to Ali Moonam, who had remained with him.

[Dave Janis]

Clean me, ally broach.

[Ollie Moonan]

I am too, boss.

[Dave Janis]

I lent you all a hay lucky in one way. Your tickets back to Richland.

[Ollie Moonan]

But you have no livestock back there. No cow hands to run the place.

[Narrator]

If you did have stock, something tells

[Dave Janis]

me I'll have you back in the bran ch business again.

[Ollie Moonan]

Hey, my friend Jip Lowry's in Richland.

[Dave Janis]

He could help us. That's good to know. Let's figure out the way. I need it badly soon. He'll think up something on the way back to Richland.

[Narrator]

Dave Janis and Ollie Moonin went to the railroad station that evening. As they walked to their car, they passed the baggage coach. This money goes to Richmond. Three men holding guns in their hands stood around a collection of canvas suitcases, each of which had lettering on the side. Ali pointed to one of the bags. What it says on the side of that one bag?

[Ollie Moonan]

Bank of Richland. It says.

[Dave Janis]

Yeah. See it tomorrow, the first of the month.

[Ollie Moonan]

No, next day.

[The Lone Ranger]

What?

[Dave Janis]

Richland bank receives a money shipment from Kansas city on the 1st of each month. It must be it. Bank money, huh?

[Narrator]

You wouldn't have to rustle cattle if

[Dave Janis]

you had that cash. No, I wouldn't.

[Narrator]

The two men sat alone in the train on their way to Richland. After a long silence, Dave said, holly, I remember something.

[Dave Janis]

This train doesn't get into Richland till 6 tomorrow evening. Bank doesn't pick up the money then?

[Ollie Moonan]

No. Who does?

[Dave Janis]

No one. It's left in the station master's office in the safe. Bank people pick it up in the morning. Allie, I have an idea.

[Ollie Moonan]

I'm getting some myself.

[Dave Janis]

What's yours, boss? Josh Allen, the station master, is an old friend of my father's. When we get to Richland tomorrow evening,

[Narrator]

I'll go to his office. Dave talked about his plan during the rest of the trip. At six o' clock, the train reached Richland. Ali Moonan left the train and headed for the town's main street while Dave Janis waited inside the railroad car and alighted when he saw two guards, emerged from the station master's office and returned to the baggage coach. Then he too hurried to the station master's office.

[Dave Janis]

Josh, Will it. Josh, are you in?

[Ollie Moonan]

Who's there?

[Dave Janis]

Oh.

[Ollie Moonan]

Oh, it's you, Mr. Janice. I'm over here by the sea.

[Dave Janis]

Josh have an envelope here with important papers inside. Let's take him to the bank in the morning. Do you mind keeping for me until then?

[Ollie Moonan]

I'll be glad to keep them. I was just going to put this suitcase into the safe. Let me have the paper, sir.

[Dave Janis]

Here, Josh.

[Narrator]

Josh Allen knelt in front of the safe and began to work the dial, intent on the task. He was unaware that Dave Janis had tiptoed behind him and was watching closely, writing the combination on a piece of paper cupped in his hand.

[Ollie Moonan]

There she is.

[Dave Janis]

Thanks, Josh. I'll see you in the morning.

[Narrator]

The Janus ranch was on the outskirts, less than two miles from the town's main street. Ali Moonin had his pal Gyp Lowery with him when he arrived at the Dave Janis ranch house shortly after sundown that evening. The man exchanged greetings and then Dave outlined the plan he had discussed with Ali on the train. Jeff asked, what's this alibi you're setting up?

[Dave Janis]

A fire.

[The Lone Ranger]

Fire?

[Ollie Moonan]

Yeah.

[Dave Janis]

I'm gonna make certain my barn catches fire about 10 o' clock tonight.

[The Lone Ranger]

Your barn?

[Ollie Moonan]

Where's that?

[Dave Janis]

It's about 50 yards away from here behind the house. I'll make a slow burning fuse that'll burn for about half an hour. I'll lead it into the hayloft and light it about 9:30. And I'll ride into town and go to a cafe where people will see me.

[Narrator]

The fire will start about 10 o', clock, huh?

[Ollie Moonan]

Yeah.

[Dave Janis]

Because my place is so near town and on a hill, flames will be seen easily. That means a volunteer fire brigade of every man in Richland. When the fire starts, you two be waiting someplace where you can't be seen.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Tonto, heading westward, had circled around the town of Richland and were riding along a back trail in the hill country near the outskirts. A bright moon shone and as they neared the Janus ranch, they saw two horsemen speeding from the property toward the trail.

[The Lone Ranger]

Let's pull back into the underbrush here.

[Narrator]

Back up some back Scott. Back feller, the masked man and Indian backed their horses into the underbrush to a spot where they'd be unseen from the trail. But as the two horsemen approached and then passed, the Lone Ranger and Toto were able to see them. And the brief view was enough for the masked man. When the horseman had passed, he asked,

[The Lone Ranger]

did you get a look at those men, Toto? One nearest with Ollie Moonan.

[Narrator]

Ah, him one me know.

[The Lone Ranger]

The other was Chip Lowry.

[Ollie Moonan]

That's not good for men who own ranches here.

[Dave Janis]

I don't know.

[The Lone Ranger]

Let's camp near here somewhere. Think we'll do some investigating tomorrow. We'll learn if we can what Muna and Lauer are doing here up in hills. Seemed good place to camp Kimasabe and we'll camp there. Monsoon.

[Narrator]

A few minutes after 10 o' clock that evening, Sheriff Pete Tuttle was standing in front of his office with his deputy Maynard, when a man rushed up to him.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sheriff. Sheriff. The Janus Ranch. It's on fire.

[Ollie Moonan]

Hey, look.

[The Lone Ranger]

See the sky over there to the west? It's all red. A sea flames. See him, Sheriff?

[Ollie Moonan]

Sure I do. Boys, start shooting your guns off. Let's empty the cafes and get every man in town out there. That looks like a big fire.

[The Lone Ranger]

You ought to see it. Flames shooting way up.

[Ollie Moonan]

Get the alarm, boys.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Tottle, from their camp in the hills, saw the flames light of the sky above the Janus Ranch. They set out at once for the ranch. In town. The gunshots of Sheriff Pete Tuttle and his deputies had brought men streaming into the main street from the cafes. Among the first to appear was Dave Janis.

[Ollie Moonan]

The sheriff called, Janice, your place is on fire. No, no, it can't be, boys. You can see the sky from here. It's a big fire. May have spread. We're going to put out that fire and I want every man to volunteer.

[Narrator]

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. Now to continue. A few minutes later, as the sheriff, Dave, Janice and the men of the town rode toward the fire, only two persons remained on the street. 1. Standing in front of the Red Lantern Cafe was a girl entertainer, Carmen Carmel. She saw station Master Josh Allen standing in front of the station platform and waved.

[Carmen Carmel]

Josh. Hi there, Josh. Why aren't you going with him?

[Narrator]

Josh Allen heard the girl and called

[Ollie Moonan]

back, can't do it, Roger. Stay here. Better get back inside now.

[Narrator]

The old man, paying no further attention to the girl, turned and walked back into the open door of his office. As he stepped inside, two men with Their faces covered, leaped from the side of the room. One of them brought his gun crashing down on Allen's head.

[Ollie Moonan]

Tie him up and gag him. I'll open the the safe. I have the combination here.

[Narrator]

Jeff tied and bound Josh Allen while Ollie opened the safe and took the money filled suitcase. They hurried from the station office to the place nearby where they'd left their horses. When they mounted, they failed to see the girl, Carmen Carmel, crossing the street toward the station. As the two crooks rode away their horses into the underbrush, the girls saw them. Then, alarmed, she ran to the station master's office.

[Carmen Carmel]

Josh. Josh. Is something wrong? Josh?

[Narrator]

Sheriff Tuttle, Dave, Janice and the men from the town rode up to the scene of the fire. The barn, which had burned quickly, was a mass of flaming embers. Destroyed.

[Dave Janis]

My barn's destroyed.

[Ollie Moonan]

Too bad, Janice. You're lucky it wasn't your house, though. You're lucky that it was. Look.

[Narrator]

Coming from back of the house.

[The Lone Ranger]

Hey, it's an engine and a mask man. Those are Brazer outlaws. I bet they set this fire.

[Dave Janis]

Come on, let's take him.

[Ollie Moonan]

Don't let him get away.

[Narrator]

When he saw the masked man, an Indian thought quickly. No doubt they were outlaws. He would accuse them of setting the fire and make doubly sure of removing any suspicion of himself. He led the mob who, with guns were drawn, ran to the Lone Ranger and Tato.

[The Lone Ranger]

Up with your hands, mask man. You're covered. Hold on. Lower those guns. You're making a mistake.

[Dave Janis]

No, we're not. You two set fire to my barn, didn't you?

[The Lone Ranger]

Let the sheriff.

[Ollie Moonan]

I'll handle this. Let me talk to you.

[The Lone Ranger]

Hello, Sheriff. I'm glad you're here.

[Narrator]

I don't.

[The Lone Ranger]

I were getting into a spot.

[Dave Janis]

Sheriff, do you know these outlaws?

[Ollie Moonan]

These men are not outlaws. They're on the side of the law. Always have and always will be. That's not so.

[Dave Janis]

They set fire to my barn.

[The Lone Ranger]

No, we didn't. We saw the fire and came here to help fight it. Without help, there was nothing we could do except try to stop it spreading.

[Ollie Moonan]

Lower your hands. You too, Tom.

[Dave Janis]

Huh?

[The Lone Ranger]

Thanks, Sheriff. If you look at the ground, you'll see we've tried to keep it wet so the fire wouldn't spread. Let's see. That's right, Sheriff.

[Narrator]

Look.

[The Lone Ranger]

It's all water between here and the house. Sheriff, did you ever hear of Ollie Moonan and Gyp Lowery, the Texas outlaws?

[Narrator]

As the Lone Ranger spoke the name Ollie Moonan, Dave Janis paled and decided to take a desperate chance. Before he could try. The sheriff spoke.

[Ollie Moonan]

Ollie Moonan, an outlaw. But he's Mr. Janice's ranch foreman.

[Dave Janis]

That's right.

[Ollie Moonan]

He's not an outlaw.

[Dave Janis]

This man is lying.

[The Lone Ranger]

Moonan's been in jail for rustling. And the man who left here with him tonight was Gyp Lowery, another convicted rustling.

[Ollie Moonan]

They were here tonight, Sheriff.

[Dave Janis]

Don't believe this man. Moon was here. Yes, about seven o'. Clock. He went back to town alone. I left about eight.

[Ollie Moonan]

We see outlaw here after that time.

[Dave Janis]

You're the outlaws, Sheriff. They broke into my house and threatened me.

[Ollie Moonan]

Janice, you can't mean that. I'm sure these men have never threatened any honest man.

[The Lone Ranger]

And we never saw you before tonight. Janice. Sheriff, the rider coming this way. Hey, it's a woman. Hey, that's the girl from the cafe in town.

[Carmen Carmel]

Whoa. Whoa there. Whoa. Sheriff, there's been a holdup in town. The station master was robbed.

[Narrator]

Without waiting for questions, Carmen Carmel told of seeing the men right away and then of finding Josh Allen in the half open safe.

[Carmen Carmel]

And I cut the ropes from old Josh and brought him to. He saw the safe right away. Bank money's been stolen. That's what he said. Thousands and thousands of dollars.

[Ollie Moonan]

Ms. Carmel, you said you saw the two robbers riding away. Did you see their faces?

[Carmen Carmel]

Only one of them, Sheriff. A fellow I know from the cafe. Ollie Moonin.

[The Lone Ranger]

Ollie Moonan.

[Ollie Moonan]

Dave. Janice, do you hear that?

[Narrator]

The Sheriff and his men went back to their horses hurriedly and mounted them.

[Ollie Moonan]

We've been hornswoggled. Those hombres set fire to this place to get us out of town so they could rob the bank.

[The Lone Ranger]

I think you're right, Sheriff.

[Ollie Moonan]

I know I am. Men, are you all right?

[The Lone Ranger]

May Tottle and I ride with you, Sheriff.

[Ollie Moonan]

Well, sure thing. Come on along.

[The Lone Ranger]

Once a little.

[Ollie Moonan]

Get up there.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger, Tato, the Sheriff and the others sped from the ranch and headed for town. They had covered only a short distance when the Lone Ranger rode close to the lawman.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sheriff, will you stop these men for a minute?

[Ollie Moonan]

Right. Stop everybody. What's on your mind, mister?

[The Lone Ranger]

Where's that man, Janice?

[Dave Janis]

Sheriff.

[Ollie Moonan]

What? Isn't he with us?

[The Lone Ranger]

I thought he remained behind, Sheriff. I know he did. I saw him pull back.

[Ollie Moonan]

Well, we'll talk to him later.

[The Lone Ranger]

But first I'd like to play a hunch.

[Dave Janis]

I have.

[The Lone Ranger]

May I have one of your deputies to stay with me here?

[Narrator]

Deputies?

[Ollie Moonan]

Sure, sure. We have a lot of men. If you have an idea of some kind, go through with it. I know you well enough to have faith in your ideas.

[The Lone Ranger]

Thanks. I'll take two men. Then

[Narrator]

Sheriff Tuttle instructed Deputy Bill Maynard and another man, Luke hall, to remain with the Lone Ranger in Tato. Then the lawman, Carmen Carmel and the other men continued on to town. The masked man spoke to Maynard and Hall.

[The Lone Ranger]

I may be wrong in what I'm about to do. I am. I'm sorry. If I'm right, I want you men as witnesses and to take charge officially. All right. What are you going to do? That fire with a decoy, no doubt about it. Why Mr. Janice should deliberately lie and say Tottenham entered his house and threatened him is something that's a mystery.

[Ollie Moonan]

He took that back before we left, remember?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yes. After the girl identified his foreman, Ollie Moonan. Amen. Here's what I plan to do. We go back near the Janus ranch and hide among the trees that grow along the main trail.

[Dave Janis]

There.

[The Lone Ranger]

I'll write a note. Now Tyler will take that note. Dave.

[Narrator]

Janice paced the floor of his ranch house, unnerved by the developments of the past 20 minutes. He finished a drink when suddenly a rock crashed through the window and fell onto the floor.

[Dave Janis]

A rock with a note tied to it, I wonder.

[Narrator]

Janice heard to the broken window and peered outside. There was no one in sight on the moon bathed ranch.

[Dave Janis]

Someone threw that rock in. Someone, huh? Well, I see what's on that paper.

[Narrator]

Janice picked up the rock, removed the note and read it. There were a few words poorly scrawled on the paper.

[Dave Janis]

Act quick. Ollie. Ollie. I wonder what he means. Must have seen the sheriff and the men come here. But how? How could he get here in a

[Narrator]

Confused and shaking Janice tried to figure who had brought the note and why. Finally he went out onto the grounds. The fire in the barn still smoldered, but there was no one to be seen. He decided to go to the hideout and learn what the strange note meant. He ran to his horse, mounted and started for the hills.

[Dave Janis]

Get up. Get up. Over.

[Narrator]

Less than a minute later, four horsemen emerged from the brush by the roadside and followed him.

[The Lone Ranger]

Now take it easy. We'll let him see us.

[Dave Janis]

Come on.

[Ollie Moonan]

Soon,

[Narrator]

Ollie Moonan and Jeff Lowry in their secret hideout in the hills were surprised when the door to the cabin opened and Dave Janis entered.

[Dave Janis]

Bosh.

[Ollie Moonan]

What are you doing here?

[Dave Janis]

This note, Holly. What did you mean by it? What? No, this one. The one you were summoned through. In the window of my place, boss.

[Narrator]

You're crazy.

[Ollie Moonan]

Jip and I haven't left this place since we got here. That's right.

[Dave Janis]

And was a trick. That means. But wait. What about the money? Where is it?

[Narrator]

Right over here. See?

[Ollie Moonan]

We opened the bag. There's $28,000 in it.

[Dave Janis]

That much, huh? Well, look, we better divide it now. And you two better get out of the territory right away.

[Ollie Moonan]

Why?

[Dave Janis]

You were identified tonight. A girl from some cafe saw you after you robbed Josh Allen. Besides, there were a masked man and an Indian who saw you leave my place early tonight.

[Ollie Moonan]

Masked man and Indian? Did the masked combre ride a white horse?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yes.

[Ollie Moonan]

Ollie, look at the window.

[Dave Janis]

Shoot slow.

[The Lone Ranger]

Get up. Your hands, Janice.

[Dave Janis]

Jeb, did he mean it?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yep. I'll keep him covered while I put the handcuffs on this sneaking skunk.

[Ollie Moonan]

Right about us. Kamash Cambr shot us.

[Dave Janis]

Look at my hand.

[Narrator]

My arm.

[Ollie Moonan]

I need a doctor.

[The Lone Ranger]

You got a doctor, Jip. So will Ollie here. You got another jail sentence, too. Out with your hands. Janice. We heard everything.

[Ollie Moonan]

Me bandage arms the crooks. Kimasabi?

[The Lone Ranger]

No, Toto. Deputy Maynard and Mr. Hall have the situation in hand.

[Narrator]

Yeah, the money that was stolen, too.

[The Lone Ranger]

We'll bandage these skunks before we take him to the who's Gal.

[Ollie Moonan]

Good.

[The Lone Ranger]

We'll ride on ahead and tell Sheriff Tuttle what happened. He'll meet you on your way to town. Come on, fellow.

[Dave Janis]

You're letting that mask man go? Yep.

[The Lone Ranger]

But you're coming with us, Janice. We'll be able to send you away for a long time.

[Ollie Moonan]

That masked tumbler did it to me before. If I'd have known he was in these parts, I'd never have come here.

[Narrator]

Neither would I. He's poisoned.

[Dave Janis]

Yeah, but who is he?

[Ollie Moonan]

You don't know yet, Yoda. Boss. Just like all other crooks who get caught, he's the Lone Ranger.

[Carmen Carmel]

Sam.

[Dave Janis]

La. Sam.
