[Narrator]

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.

[Tonto]

The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver. Let's go, big fella. I am Silver. Hurry.

[Narrator]

After many dreary and disheartening weeks of hardship and danger, pioneers in covered wagons moved across the western part of Utah. They hoped to reach the Nevada border and the town of Border City within a couple of days. But this hope was never realized. The veteran guide riding beside the lead wagon was the first to sense disaster when he heard an Indian war cry.

[Tonto]

Engines coming from the north.

[Narrator]

He saw savages fighting from the crest of a hill.

[Tonto]

Form a circle. Pass the line. Form a circle. Egypt Trouble. Get the wagons together. Tighten the circle before the engines get smoke.

[Narrator]

The pioneers worked with speed born of desperation. When the wagons were in position, the women unloaded firearms, ammunition and medical supplies while the men unhitched the horses, then tipped the heavy wagon their side.

[Tonto]

All right, boys.

[Lone Ranger]

Hey, you think the floorboards of the

[Tonto]

wagons will stop rifle bullets? Let's hope so. It's the only protection we've got. The engines are starting to ride in a circle around us. Let them have it.

[Narrator]

The pioneers fought bravely, but their supply of ammunition was limited against the overwhelming odds. Defeat was inevitable. Before dark, the fight was over. The pioneers massacred and the wagons burned. That night, the lone survivor, a boy of 16 who had lived through the massacre by feigning death moved through the darkness, away from the scene that wrote an infamous page in the history of the West. The following morning, the Lone Ranger and Tottle, riding across the plains, saw the remains of burned wagons and grim evidence of a heroic struggle.

[Lone Ranger]

The work of Apaches.

[Narrator]

After making sure that all the pioneers were beyond earthly help, the Lone Ranger

[Lone Ranger]

said, too many for us to bury. Toto. We'll report this to the fort. Let's examine the ground beyond the circle of wagons.

[Narrator]

On the soft ground, the masked man and his companion found many tracks of unshod ponies.

[Lone Ranger]

A big band of Indians, Toto. Ah, them come from hill over that way. They went away over the same hill. Notice all the rifle shells. Look like cartridges from Sharps rifle. Yes. I wonder how the savages got modern weapons. Me wonder. Same thing. A lot of Apaches armed with Sharps rifles. That means more trouble to come. He must have it. Yes. Here. Boot marks. Let me see. Those are not made by an Indian. That right, My fellow walk here. He headed west and his trail's on top of the pony tracks. He was alive after the Indians left him. Got long walk to border city. Maybe we follow tracks, catch up and help him. Yes, we'll do that, Tono. But first I want to ride up that hill. You think Indians camped on the other side? No, but the tracks beyond the hill may tell us which way they went. All right, let's go, Taro. Easy. Come on, Silver Scout.

[Narrator]

The two men, both highly skilled in reading trail signs, followed the tracks of Indian ponies across the level plain and up the hillside. They were but a short distance from the crest. When the sharp eyes of the Lone Ranger saw something on the ground, he called right in.

[Lone Ranger]

Toto. Fellas, I'm going back a few yards to look at something beside that boulder. Come on, boulder. Come, scout. Come, plumber. What you see, Kimasabi? You were farther away from the rock than I was. Well, here we are. Oh, Silver. Oh, easy. Sending me column. Easy, scout. Easy, plumber. What's that? A half smoked cigarette. Oh, there are others close to rock. Someone here for long time and smoked plenty Cigarette. There were two men standing here, Toto. And they wore boots, not moccasins. They're marks of horses. Big horses wearing shoes. Two men stood behind and beside this rock and watched the attack on the wagon train. Me wonder who men are. Something to find out if they were. Have you found something? Maybe this helped. A small velvet tassel. Me see tassel like this on plenty pansy hat in Mexico. That's right. This might have come from a Mexican hat. Take it with Usabi. Me here Hoopdeeps horses coming from the other side of the hill.

[Narrator]

Putting into his pocket the red velvet tassel that had probably been one of many that dangled from the wide brim of a fancy sombrero, the Lone Ranger looked toward the crest of the hill. Six troopers rode into view from the far side.

[Lone Ranger]

A lieutenant, a sergeant and four Privates then see us. We stay here? Yes. They may know something about the Apaches.

[Tonto]

Stay where you are.

[Lone Ranger]

Easy, boy.

[Tonto]

Steady.

[Lone Ranger]

Nast, huh? Sergeant, keep these two covered. Lieutenant, there's been a massacre. That's why we're here. A scout brought word to the camp a couple of hours ago. Colonel Hodge detailed. Colonel Hodge? Is he your commanding officer? Yes. He came to investigate. After the massacre, the Indians rode over this hill. You may have seen their tracks drown. North of the hill is hard labor. Tracks don't show. Please tell the colonel I'm instructed to bring in anyone who looks suspicious. That mask qualifies you as a suspicious character. Well, I'd like to speak to Colonel Hodge. I intend to take you to him. Where's the camp? About 10 miles due north. I'm sorry, Lieutenant, that's too far. We can't take the time to go there now.

[Tonto]

You can't take the time?

[Lone Ranger]

No. We want to follow the trail of one man who survived the massacre. We lose four or five hours if we go to your camp.

[Tonto]

I gave you no choice.

[Lone Ranger]

Surrender your guns.

[Tonto]

You2 Indian.

[Lone Ranger]

Lieutenant Toddo and I have served Colonel Hodge's guides. He knows me as the Lone Ranger. That means nothing to me, Lieutenant.

[Tonto]

I've hurt the Lone Ranger.

[Lone Ranger]

Well, I haven't.

[Tonto]

Well, you've only been the West a short time.

[Narrator]

Are you going to surrender your guns?

[Lone Ranger]

No. Follow the trail of that survivor.

[Tonto]

Stand away from your horses. I ordered you to.

[Lone Ranger]

We're not told under orders. And speaking of orders, are you going to order your men to shoot us in the back? Easy city, big fight.

[Narrator]

Well, of all the cool nerve.

[Lone Ranger]

Nervous, right, Lieutenant?

[Tonto]

He told you he's a Lone Ranger.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Tottle rode hard to the foot of the hill. Then, seeing that they were not pursued, they slowed their horses to a steady lope and headed west, following the tracks of the only survivor of the massacre. Meanwhile, in rugged hills north of the trail to Border City and west of the cavalry camp, a meeting took place in the hideaway stronghold of Chief Red Wolf and his band of savage Apaches. Two white men named Tarmac and Chase sat on the ground with Red Wolf. Dude Chase, wearing expensive clothes, toyed with his hat, a fancy Mexican sombrero trimmed with red velvet tassels, while Tarmac counted money.

[Lone Ranger]

Sixteen hundred dollars. Red Wolf, you sure this is all the cash you found on the pioneers? Me? Sure. Hold on, Red Wolf. You got the horses, firearms and everything else the pioneers had.

[Tonto]

You're to give us all the cash.

[Lone Ranger]

That was the agreement.

[Tonto]

Don't try to hold out on us.

[Lone Ranger]

Your nut life.

[Tonto]

Agreement.

[Lone Ranger]

We end agreement. No, no, no, no, Red Wolf. No, no. We got a good setup. You and I find out about the wagon train, you make the attack. When next wagon train come west? We don't know yet. Maybe we'll hear about one while we're in border city tonight. What are you looking for, dude? I lost one of the tassels from my hat. Thought it might be around here on the ground. Here's half your cash. Thanks. Buy yourself a stiff and get rid of that crazy looking sombrero. I like this sombrero. I paid plenty for it. Well, we better get going. You'll be hearing some of that, Wolf. Steady, boy. You ready, dude? Yeah. Let's go.

[Tonto]

Easy. Yeah.

[Narrator]

We'll continue our Lone Ranger adventure in just a moment.

[Narrator]

Yes, sir.

[Tonto]

Get on your way.

[Lone Ranger]

Get on your way.

[Tonto]

Get on your way with tweeties.

[Wheaties Announcer]

Something to think about, isn't it? To become a champ, you don't have to be born a champ. Take Bob Feller, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Young Bob was born a farmer's son. He practiced ball when chores Were done. He worked for speed. He learned control. To be a champ was young Bob's goal. So he ate Wheaties bowl on bowl. Bob's been a champ for many years. It's Wheaties flakes that he still cheers. Bob Feller ate Wheaties as a kid, still eats them now, 23 years later. You can't beat him. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheatie's flake.

[Tonto]

Okay, Bob, wind her up. 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 cross champions are made. Not far.

[Lone Ranger]

Yes, sir.

[Narrator]

Get on your way get on your

[Tonto]

way get on your way With Wheaties breakfast of champions.

[Narrator]

Now to continue. The Lone Ranger and Toto following the clearly defined boot marks held Scott and Silver to a steady pace. By late afternoon, they were within a few miles of Border City when they saw a figure lying on the ground beside the trail.

[Lone Ranger]

He's the man we've been following. Hose over hose.

[Narrator]

To their surprise, the Lone Ranger and Tottle found a boy unhurt but sleeping from sheer exhaustion. Good food and the Lone Ranger's understanding and sympathetic manner soon won the confidence of the boy who gave his name as Billy Milton. He fought back tears as he told of the massacre and his parents who had been killed.

[Lone Ranger]

The Lone Ranger said, billy, we're going to take you to the home of a lady who lives at the edge of Border City. Her husband and son were killed by Indians several years ago. Her name is Mrs. Kimberly. We'll start as soon as we put away the cooking gear.

[Narrator]

Tarmac and Dude Chase reached Border City soon after dark and went directly to the cafe. Seated at a table, they watched for men with news of wagon trains. Presently a man rushed through the batwing doors and shouted.

[Tonto]

Hey Ch.

[Lone Ranger]

Dude. He looks familiar.

[Tonto]

Listen, Chance, I got news.

[Lone Ranger]

He's the plainsman who brought water. The wagon train. The last time we were here.

[Tonto]

Here. What Joe has to say. Quiet.

[Lone Ranger]

We sure cashed in on that information.

[Tonto]

I told you about a wagon train heading this way.

[Lone Ranger]

That was a couple of days ago. I thought I'd be here by this

[Tonto]

time yesterday it was attacked by injured. What's that by inj. The only survivor is a 16 year old boy. What's his name? Did you see him? Where is he? Did he hurt? Give me a chance you all to know I was calling on Woody Kimberly when a masked man and an Indian arrived with the boy. Mask man. Mrs. Kimber knew the masked man. He helped fight the Redskins and killed her son and husband. She told me he's a Lone Ranger. I'm telling true facts. The Lone Ranger and Tono are at the Wiener's house right now.

[Lone Ranger]

Dude, come outside.

[Narrator]

Dude and Tarmac hurried out a side door and walked fast toward the front of the cafe where their horses waited at the hitch rail.

[Lone Ranger]

I didn't know the Lone Ranger was around here. And neither did I. He and his Indian pal investigation. They might find our tracks. I don't think they could follow them. Listen, I've heard plenty about the Lone Ranger in Tonto. They're mighty sharp at cutting signs. I don't aim to take any chances of getting my neck in a noose. We're going to kill the Lone Rangers.

[Tonto]

Get up.

[Lone Ranger]

Come.

[Narrator]

There was no reason for Toto standing with the horses in front of the Kimberly house to attach any significance to the sound of hoof beats on the town main street. And he did not hear the horses of dude and Tarmac. A few minutes later when they were halted on soft grass far behind the house, the renegades left their horses. And as they approached on foot out

[Lone Ranger]

of Tonto's sight, Tarmac said, we'll go along this side of the house so we're near the front. When the masked man comes out, we'll drill him and Tonto. There's a light in the back room. I noticed it. I'm gonna look through the window. Someone's in that room. I saw the shadow move. Well, as I figure it, the widow, the mask man and the boy are the only ones in the house. Better keep your voice lower. We're getting close to. I see him. A Lone Ranger in there. Well, there's no use waiting. I'm going close to the window and put a bullet through that mask man right now. Then get the Indian.

[Narrator]

Wholly unaware of the threat of death, the Lone Ranger stood beside Billy in a small neat bedroom and smiled at the boy's wide eyed admiration.

[Lone Ranger]

Golly, it's a fine room. I can't believe it's gonna be mine. Mrs. Kimberly's son used to sleep here. Do you think she really meant it when she said she'd be glad to have me live here? I know she meant it. She's unpacking all of her boy's clothes in the other room there to be yours too. You live here, Billy? And go to school.

[Tonto]

But the windmill move fast.

[Narrator]

The masked man drew and fired with lightning speed as he shove Billy to one side.

[Lone Ranger]

Tell Mrs. Kimberly stay where she is

[Narrator]

and not to worry.

[Tonto]

Yes, sir.

[Narrator]

The fast Move and quick shot threw off Dude's aim. The Lone Ranger saw two men running away from the house and toward two horses. He opened the window. As he leaped out, Toto ran up to his side.

[Lone Ranger]

One of those men tried to shoot me. We get horses, we catch him. Wait. Look. Tunnel. One of them lost his hat. Ah, in Mexican. We don't know about the man, but this is a Mexican hat with velvet tassels. He must have it. Tassels like the one we found. Ah. They're one tassel gone from hat. Those must be the men who watched the massacre. That's right. Come on. We'll get Scout and Silver.

[Narrator]

As the Lone Ranger and Toto reached their horses in front of the house, a crowd of townsmen who had heard the shooting approached.

[Tonto]

What's the gun play? We heard shots. What's going on here?

[Lone Ranger]

Guard the people in that house. Easy, fellow. Easy, fellow. I'll explain later.

[Narrator]

After dashing away from the house, leaving the townsman dazed, the Lone Ranger and Tahoe used many tricks to remain unseen while they pursued the men ahead.

[Lone Ranger]

We'll find out where they go.

[Tonto]

Come on, Silver, let's count.

[Narrator]

At first the gunman rode east. But after a few miles, thinking they were not observed, they angled to the northeast.

[Lone Ranger]

They're heading for the hills.

[Tonto]

They're plenty hiding place there. Come on. S.

[Narrator]

The outlaws reached the hills at midnight. After that, it was increasingly difficult to keep them in sight. The rugged ground was studded by countless boulders and cut by many canyons. When the men ahead grew rein to rest their horses, the Lone Ranger and Toto did the same, some distance away.

[Lone Ranger]

Wonder how far them go. Those men undoubtedly led the Indian attack. They may be going to join their Apache friends. If we follow them, we meet over 100 men. We'll need lots of help. You ride south. Get ahead of those two. Then go east as fast as possible to the cavalry camp. Map. North of where Indians attack wagons? Yes. Tell Colonel Hodge the situation and what you do, Kimasabe. I'll keep following and try to locate the hideout house. Soldiers know where hideout is. I'll signal the smoke. Kimasabe. Bad men see. Signal them cry get you. I'll hope that the cavalry gets them first. Tell me.

[Narrator]

Go now.

[Lone Ranger]

Easy, scout. Easy, fella. Good luck, Kimasabe. Adios. Adios.

[Tonto]

Get him up.

[Lone Ranger]

Scout.

[Narrator]

Through the remaining hours of night, Feud and Tarmac rode slowly so their horses might avoid a misstep on the dangerous ground. At dawn, they reached their destination, the camp of the Indian renegades. Chief Red Wolf listened to Their story nodding soberly from time to time. Tarmac finished by saying, we gotta kill

[Lone Ranger]

that masked man in Tondo and we'll need your help. Me hear plenty about masked man. Me glad to see him dead. And you'll help us, huh? Well, how about it, Red Wolf? Wait. What do you see? Look there. Top of mountain. Smoke. What's that mean?

[Tonto]

Someone there make fire.

[Lone Ranger]

Hey, this hideout of yours can be seen from that peak.

[Tonto]

That's right.

[Lone Ranger]

Fire's giving out an awful lot of smoke.

[Tonto]

That signals.

[Narrator]

The shouted commands of Red Wolf stirred the savages to action. In a matter of minutes they were armed and mounted, ready to ride.

[Tonto]

Come on, we got to go with them.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger, watching from behind a boulder that concealed himself and his horse from the view of the oncoming savages, knew that escape was out of the question. He drew his guns, prepared to sell his life as dearly as possible.

[Lone Ranger]

The first shots are for the white renegades never shot to kill. But this time, please Lord, direct my boats.

[Narrator]

For a moment, the masked man's eyes were closed in prayer.

[Lone Ranger]

The troopers deliver the smudge. Fire did it.

[Narrator]

The Indians were caught in plain view of the hard riding men in uniform who charged up behind them. Devastating gunfire broke out. The masked man mounted Silver and joined the fight. Soon many savages were killed. The rest, including Red Wolf, threw down their guns. Dude and Carmack also surrendered. When the prisoners were tied, Colonel Hodge gripped the hand of the masked man while the other officer stood by.

[Lone Ranger]

Again, sir, we're indebted to you. We've not only captured those renegades, we've recovered the rifles they stole. I'm glad we could be of service, Colonel. Hodge, you and talk to Colonel. We'd like to leave at once. There's a lad in Border City who's waiting to hear that these savages are captured. You tell that boy they'll pay in Fort Good. Come on, Dodo. Are you ready, Monsoon? Gosh, Colonel. Yes, Lieutenant. Now I see what the sergeant meant. What do you mean? He told me I'd be loco to try to capture the Lone Ranger. Ugh. I have had no luck lately. Wait.
