The Lone Ranger, With his faithful Indian companion, Toto, 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 hoop beats of the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. The Lone Ranger and his Indian companion Toddo camped for the night in a wooded grove in the hills near Stockton.

The two men were rolled in their blankets sleeping, when.

[The Lone Ranger]

Toto.

[Tonto]

Let me hear shots. Someone right fast along trail.

[The Lone Ranger]

There he is.

[Tonto]

Oh, him. Shot. Fall from horse.

[The Lone Ranger]

Three men coming around the bend. Draw your guns, Toto. We'll go see what this is all about. Come on.

[Tonto]

Then turn, leave and hurry.

[The Lone Ranger]

We'll see about the wounded man. Let me see. Yeah, a shoulder wound, but not serious. Yes, Taro. We'll carry him to our camp and give him first aid.

[Narrator]

The young man, the masked man and Indian found wounded on the trail was unconscious when they carried him to their camp. A short time after his wound was.

Bandaged, he regained consciousness.

The first rays of the rising sun fell upon the Lone Ranger and Toto as they stood beside him.

[Tonto]

What happened? A masked man and an Indian.

[The Lone Ranger]

It's all right. We're friends. You were shot from your horse. We brought you here and bandaged your wound. You soon be all right.

[Tonto]

Thanks. Grateful. I'm Dave Alton.

[The Lone Ranger]

Who were the men who tried to kill you? Do you know outlaws?

[Tonto]

I had a partner. We were prospecting together. He Boasted in town about the gold we'd found. Tonight, they surprised us, killed Jed. I escaped. They followed. You know the rest.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yes. Toto, go to town and notify the sheriff. I'll stay here until you get back and we'll try to trail those men.

[Tonto]

Easy, scout.

[Narrator]

Easy, fella.

[Tonto]

Get him up. Scout.

[Narrator]

Tonto hurriedly rode to the sheriff's office in Stockton. Later, he returned to camp and told the Lone Ranger and Dave about the sheriff's plans.

[Tonto]

Sheriff say he'll take posse to Prospector's cabin and try to pick up trail again.

[The Lone Ranger]

Tullo will work alone for the time being. If the posse fails to pick up the trail, we may succeed. Dave, how many men were there, do you know?

[Tonto]

Six altogether. Three of them chased me when I got away.

[The Lone Ranger]

We don't want to leave you here alone.

[Tonto]

I'm all right. I have a gun in my horse. It's important that you and the Indian help to catch those outlaws.

[The Lone Ranger]

Very well, Dave. We'll come back here later to make sure you're all right. Hello. We'll go out to the trail and try to follow the three men who chased Dave. They may lead us to the gang's hideout. All right, let's go. See you later, Dave.

[Tonto]

Goodbye.

[The Lone Ranger]

Come on.

[Tonto]

Come, scout, come.

[Narrator]

Meanwhile, in a cabin hidden in a hollow grudge, Logan was talking to his men.

[Tonto]

Once you men bungle the job, Nick. You had no business plugging that old prospector.

[Grudge Logan]

Because you did, I sent Tony and a couple of the others to get.

[Tonto]

The fellow who escaped. They bungled that, too.

[Nick]

Oh, the old prospector went for his gun. What else could I do? Yeah, that's right. Grudge for the fellow we went after. We plugged him and saw him fall. Then we heard men coming, so we beat him.

[Tonto]

And you. And you don't know that the young prospector's dead, eh?

[Nick]

We didn't have time to make sure, Grudge.

[Grudge Logan]

There was somebody coming. He's the only witness to the killing. If he's not, why don't I hear.

[Nick]

Tony go back to where he shot the fella and see what he can find out? Well, that's risky, Nick. Oh, what are you scared of? I'll go back with you.

[Grudge Logan]

Good. Tony, you and Nick go and see what you can find out about that fella. They'll be waiting to hear.

[The Lone Ranger]

All right.

[Nick]

Come on, Nick. It won't take us long.

[Narrator]

It was some time later when Tony.

And Nick, taking a roundabout route, approached.

The place on the trail near the Lone Rangers camp where Dave had been shot.

They stopped among the Trees nearby.

[Nick]

He fell right out there, Nick. Come on.

[Narrator]

Moving cautiously, the two crooks found the.

Place where Dave had fallen.

[The Lone Ranger]

Look.

[Nick]

Seems like the two armies who found him took him up to that grove yonder. Will, keep undercover and go investigate that grove. Have your gun handy.

[Narrator]

At the camp in the grove, Dave was sleeping. He was suddenly startled and sat up quickly when he heard a voice.

[Nick]

Look, Nick. And he's alive. Reckon he just wounded him. We got you covered, mister, so don't move. Bandage on his left shoulder. I thought you were a better shot, Tony. Never mind that. I won't assist him. Hold it, you fool.

[Grudge Logan]

Why?

[Nick]

Remember he was found by two hombres. He must have told them what happened.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's right. What do you think we ought to do? Make him tell who the two hombres are before we plug him.

[Tonto]

I don't know who they are.

[Nick]

Let's take him the Grudge. He'll make him talk. After that, we'll get rid of him.

[Narrator]

Later. Dave Alton, tied to a chair, sat facing Grudge Logan in the hideout cabin.

[Grudge Logan]

So you refuse to answer questions, huh?

[Tonto]

Well, I won't be as easy on.

[Grudge Logan]

You as Nick and Tony were.

[Tonto]

You gotta find out who he talked to, Grudge.

[Grudge Logan]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Make him tell.

[The Lone Ranger]

He'll tell.

[Grudge Logan]

Don't worry.

[Tonto]

Now then, who are the hombres who found you and took you to that camp? I don't know, and that's the truth.

[Grudge Logan]

Don't give me that now. Give me a civil answer.

[Tonto]

But I don't know who they are. How can I tell you and describe them? What do they look like?

[Nick]

I'm sure one of them's an Indian. Grudge. I looked back as we rode away and I caught a glimpse of him. That's right.

[Grudge Logan]

Well, is one of them a redskin?

[Tonto]

Yes.

[Grudge Logan]

That's more like it. How about the other one?

[Tonto]

I didn't see his face. What do you mean you didn't see his face? You have eyes, haven't you?

[The Lone Ranger]

Good morning.

[Grudge Logan]

Speak up or I'll let one of the men gun whip you.

[Tonto]

He kept his face covered. He had him.

[Nick]

That doesn't make sense, Grudge.

[The Lone Ranger]

No, it don't.

[Grudge Logan]

Maybe it does at that.

[Nick]

What do you mean?

[Grudge Logan]

We know one of them is an Indian. From what this hombre says, the other must have been masked.

[Nick]

Masked? I don't get it. Why should another owl who take the trap?

[Grudge Logan]

Now listen a minute. Remember me telling all you about a masked hombre who rode with an Indian?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah.

[Nick]

You said they broke up a gang you had in New Mexico? Last year.

[Grudge Logan]

Right. They helped the law. The masked man is known as a Lone Ranger.

[Nick]

Hey, I've heard of him. So have I. He and that Indian are said to be dynamite when they get going. Watch out for this.

[Grudge Logan]

No need to get anxious about him.

[Nick]

But if they caught some of your.

[Grudge Logan]

Other g. I wasn't as smart then as I am now. Listen, Nick, you and Tony probably weren't careful covering your tracks when you brought this hombre here.

[Nick]

Maybe not. We were in a hurry.

[Grudge Logan]

So much the better. When the masked man and Indian go back to that camp and learn he's missing, they'll do their best to follow your trail here. And what's more, I'm sure they'll succeed.

[Nick]

Then they'll get us.

[Grudge Logan]

Don't worry. Use this fella as bait for a trap. I plan to get that redskin. And what's more important, the hombre known as a Lone Ranger.

[Narrator]

As Grudge, Logan told his men how he planned to use Dave Alton as bait to trap Tonto and the Lone Ranger.

A cruel smile twisted his lips. He explained further.

[Grudge Logan]

We'll leave this hombre tied to the chair and gag so we can't warn him. We'll leave one horse just outside the cabin so as they'll think one of us is in here as guard.

[Nick]

Go on.

[Grudge Logan]

We'll hide the other horses among the trees. And we'll stay hidden until we see them approach the cabin.

[Nick]

They're smart, Grudge. They won't approach the place openly.

[Grudge Logan]

I know. With all that brush around, we'll have to watch close. But the windows are nailed down, so I figure they'll try to get inside through the front door.

[Nick]

And what if they do?

[Grudge Logan]

We'll move in on them. We'll plug all three of them and bury them back in the woods. Nobody'll ever know what happened to that Indian and the Mashman.

[Narrator]

The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scene. Please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue. The Lone Ranger and Toto realized the.

Men in Grudge's gang were clever.

When they lost the first trail they were following, they returned to camp to make sure Dave was all right.

[The Lone Ranger]

Look, near the place where he was resting, the footprints of two men.

[Tonto]

Maybe that mean crooks come back. Take young fella way.

[The Lone Ranger]

I'm sorry I let Dave talk us into leaving him alone. I feel that I'm to blame for this, Tonto. We'll follow those footprints to where they left their horses. Then we pick up their trail. Come on.

[Narrator]

Easy.

[The Lone Ranger]

Set it easy, fella.

[Tonto]

Come on. Come, Scott. Come, fella.

[Narrator]

The sheriff and his posse had gone to the prospector's cabin and after sending back the body of the outlaw's victim, they tried to follow the trail of the gang. They too, finally lost the trail.

[The Lone Ranger]

Ho.

[Nick]

Ho. Ho there.

[The Lone Ranger]

Ho, ho.

[Tonto]

By Jiminy, that outlaw leader, Grudge Logan, is plenty smart. The Indian who reported to me didn't know at the time how many men Grudge had. But from the tracks, I figured five or six. The Indian is working with a friend of mine, a masked man.

[The Lone Ranger]

Mast Umbrella.

[Nick]

You say how he's a friend of yours?

[Tonto]

We won't go into that now. Anyway, the Indian told me where they found the wounded man and where the camp is located. Now we'll go to the camp and if Dave Alton is still there, we'll question him. He might tell us something that'll help. Let's go. Get up there.

[Narrator]

A short time later, the posse arrived at the campsite and stopped.

[Tonto]

Nobody here, but there's a bed made of boughs and covered with a blanket where the wounded man rested. They tried to pick up their trail. I want to talk to the Mashman. Get up there.

[Narrator]

The Lone Ranger and Tonto had some difficulty trailing Nick, Tony and Dave. But as Grudge had said, they were not as careful covering the trail. Finally, the masked man and Indian topped.

A rise and saw the cabin in the hollow. A short distance from the clearing in which the cabin stood. The two men dismounted and left their horses hidden under the trees in the tall brush. Then they cautiously moved forward on foot. On the edge of the clearing, they stopped.

[The Lone Ranger]

I see one horse tied to a sapling near the cabin.

[Tonto]

Maybe that mean others and gang not there now.

[The Lone Ranger]

May also mean that Dave is still alive and held prisoner, Toto. It leaves someone to guard him. Otherwise, the owner of that horse would have gone with the others. We use a tall brush near the cabin to screen our approach. I want to get close enough to look inside that place.

[Grudge Logan]

Come on.

[The Lone Ranger]

Have your guns ready.

[Narrator]

The Indian and masked man, thoroughly experienced in moving with caution, made their way through the brush without moving a branch. Finally, they reached the side window of the cabin. Then the Lone Ranger showed for a moment above the brush as he quickly looked through the window.

[The Lone Ranger]

The window's nailed down, Toto, but I see Dave inside. He's tied to a chair and gagged. Whoever is on guard is keeping out of sight.

[Narrator]

Now what we do, we make our.

[The Lone Ranger]

Way to the front door. We crawl up to it and enter suddenly to take the guard by surprise. All right, let's go.

[Narrator]

Among the trees on the nearby slope, Grudge and the others were watching. Suddenly, Grudge spoke.

[Grudge Logan]

See, Luke? I see a man's head near the side window. He's the last man.

[Narrator]

Should we try to gun him?

[Nick]

Sure, why not?

[The Lone Ranger]

I'll hold it.

[Grudge Logan]

It's too far for a good shot. As soon as we see him go inside, we'll move in. We can see the front door from here.

[Tonto]

Fine.

[Nick]

Jiminy, they're going right into the trap.

[Grudge Logan]

Sure. They'll soon realize just how smart I am.

[Nick]

How you plan to work it, Gretch?

[Grudge Logan]

When I give the word, we'll spread out and encircle the cabin. Then move in on them. And they won't be able to get away. Before long, the Lone Ranger will be finished for good.

[Narrator]

Meantime, as the Lone Ranger and Toto moved toward the front door, the masked man spoke.

[The Lone Ranger]

Toto, you stay hid in the brush. I'll go inside alone. I can handle one man.

[Tonto]

A good idea.

[The Lone Ranger]

The others might return unexpectedly. In that case, you'll be in a position to warn me. Stay here. The chaparral thicket will hide you. I'll crawl to the front door. It's the only way inside. The windows are securely nailed down.

[Narrator]

Tonto waited in hiding while the Lone Ranger moved cautiously to the front door. Then, with guns ready, he shoved the door wide open.

[The Lone Ranger]

Don't move.

[Narrator]

He stood a moment as his keen eyes swiftly scanned the interior of the cabin. Instantly, he realized he might have entered a trap. He sprang quickly to Dave's side, cut the cords and removed the gag.

[The Lone Ranger]

Have you free in a moment. There. Now the gag.

[Tonto]

There. It's a trap.

[The Lone Ranger]

I just realized that. Quick, get to the door. Then crawl through the door into the bushes. They'll hide you. Be sure to keep your head down. I'll help you. Come on. We'll be safer outside. Here's the open door. Get down and crawl if you can.

[Tonto]

I'll make it.

[Narrator]

In spite of Dave's handicap, he and the masked man hurriedly crawled through the doorway and dropped into the thicket near the porch.

[The Lone Ranger]

I don't think we were seen coming out.

[Tonto]

Yes, we see men up among trees. Then come this way.

[The Lone Ranger]

Crouch low and we move back to their brush toward the trees. Come on.

[Narrator]

Grudge and his men had seen the masked figure enter the cabin. He waited a moment, then said, I.

[Grudge Logan]

Didn'T see the Indian go inside.

[Nick]

Maybe the masked man went in there alone.

[Grudge Logan]

That's possible, but I doubt it. The redskin may be waiting near the cabin. Somewhere near the window. Let's spread out and move in on him. Keep an eye open for the Indian.

[Narrator]

Let's go. The outlaws had failed to see Day, and the masked man crawled from the front door. They spread out with guns ready and started moving toward the cabin. Meantime, the Lone Ranger, Toto and Dave had succeeded in reaching the trees before the crooks had a chance to encircle the place.

[The Lone Ranger]

We made it. Now we'll wait until we see them near the cabin, then we'll move in on them.

[Tonto]

They aren't going to expect that. Not right.

[Narrator]

The three men watched closely for a short time. They saw little, though. Tonto's keen eyes caught the movement of the brush here and there as the men worked their way forward. Finally, Tonto spoke.

[Tonto]

You see head looking through window?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yes. Tonto. They've reached the cabin.

[Tonto]

How?

[The Lone Ranger]

Dave, you wait here.

[Tonto]

I can handle a gun. Let me go with you.

[The Lone Ranger]

All right, let's go.

[Narrator]

At the cabin, Grudge had looked through the window. He saw the Dave had been freed and that no one was inside. He found his men one after the other and gathered them together under cover of the tall brush.

[Grudge Logan]

Something went wrong. None of us saw him go out. Nobody's inside now.

[Nick]

That young fellow tell the masked man about your trap. Maybe they're hiding inside.

[Tonto]

Wait.

[Grudge Logan]

We'll soon find out. We'll go in. Come on. Say, Nikki, you stand covers from the window until we get inside.

[Nick]

Right.

[Narrator]

Quickly, in crouched position, the other five went to the front of the cabin. Then they rushed through the open door with drawn guns.

[Grudge Logan]

You're coming.

[Nick]

Hey, nobody's here.

[Grudge Logan]

Hey, Nick. Come on in.

[Nick]

I don't like this, Grudge. I don't like any potters. Hey, what's going on, Grudge? No sign of him. Hey, Grudge. I saw one of them through the window. The engine.

[Narrator]

Nick rushed to the window, broke the glass and fired.

[Grudge Logan]

Are you sure?

[Nick]

I don't think I hit him. I'll try again. Hey, a bullet came through the window. They're moving in on us.

[Grudge Logan]

We're sick to two or three. Cover both windows. Leaves the door open a little.

[Nick]

All right.

[The Lone Ranger]

I saw the brush move.

[Tonto]

Grudge.

[Nick]

They caught us in our own trap.

[Grudge Logan]

Forget that now.

[Tonto]

Try to plug them.

[Grudge Logan]

We'll either get him and hold them.

[Tonto]

Off till it's dark enough to sneak away from here.

[Nick]

Holy mackerel. There's more than three out there riding in to help him. Grudge was sunk.

[Narrator]

The sheriff and his men had heard the shots and moved in to help the Lone Ranger and his friends. The gun battle raged for some time and men on both sides were wounded. But finally those inside were too greatly outnumbered and surrendered. All but two of the crooks were wounded, including Grudge.

[Tonto]

Come out with your hands up or we'll gun you. We give up.

[Nick]

Holds your fire. There's just two of us with guns now.

[Tonto]

Pull your guns through the door, then come out with your hands high.

[Narrator]

Tony and Nick, the two who were not wounded, complied with the sheriff's command. Soon all the crooks were huddled together within a circle of grim faced men holding guns.

[The Lone Ranger]

I think we have them all now, Sheriff.

[Tonto]

Yes, that's all of them. That one is Grudge Logan. A few of my men took bullets, but none are seriously hurt. We look after the wounded and get these killers back to town. Now, Dave, you'll be a witness against them in the killing of your partner. With pleasure. If it hadn't been for the masked man in Tono, I'd have been dead too. The gang set a trap for both of them, but they turned the tables on Grudge and his men.

[The Lone Ranger]

Grudge Logan is clever, but not clever enough. Tahoe and I were glad to help. We'll stop to see you in town, Sheriff, before we leave this territory. Good luck, Dave, and see you later. Adios, everybody.

[Tonto]

Goodbye, Doc Conant.

[Nick]

Crutch. I thought you said you could handle that Indian deal in the mask van.

[Grudge Logan]

Oh, sure.

[Tonto]

Grudge is like all the rest of the law breakers who think they amount to something. They get to think they're so smart the law can't ever touch him. But just like the others, Grudge isn't smart enough to know that it doesn't pay to make a stand against the Lone Ranger.
