[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Then folks will say, he's feeling his Cheerios.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Enough there. Yes. And Clara Stoddard sold their farm in Ohio and started west to join a wagon train scheduled to go to California from Wichita. But they reached there two days after the caravan had left. I'm sorry, Clara. It's all my fault. If I hadn't gotten lost back there, that's.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Yes, never mind that now. It's past. You heard what the man at the store told us. The train's gonna stop at Dodge City a few days before going on now. If we hurry, we'll catch up with it then. So let's get going.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, yes, yes. Get up there. Come on. Clara, we left Wichita hours ago, and now we're going through the wildest country we've seen yet. This can't be the Chisholm Trail.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

I don't think it is either, Jess. There's no sign of anybody passing along here at all.

[Narrator/Announcer]

We're lost again, that's what. Clara. I must be the worst.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Jess. Oh, Jess, look. Riding down here.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Clara, it's an Indian and a masked man.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Jess. Jess, they're gonna kill us.

[Narrator/Announcer]

It's a hold up. Protect your. Clara, don't be frightened. Paula and I are not outlaws. See? We've no intention of using our guns.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

But that mask.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Believe me, I wear it for personal, not criminal reasons. Well? Dog gone. Never heard of such a thing. The couple, forgetting their initial fright, told them story. When they finished, the masked man said, toto and I are camped in the hills above here. But if you'll let us, we'll be glad to lead you to the trail and head you in the right direction. The Stoddards, after a whispered conference, agreed to follow the Lone Ranger and Toto. A short time later, the horseman and the wagon turned off the road and headed south toward the Chisholm Trail. Come on, get up there. At that moment, half a day's journey to the west, in the town of Kerryville, Fritz Emden, a deputy burst into Sheriff Jim Wagner's office. Sheriff, I just saw Luke Murdock. Luke Murdock? Where? Across the street behind Tex Carter's cafe. Must have left his horse in the bushes back of the place. Cause he was skulking around on foot. Looks as if he was trying to sneak into the cafe. Where did I get my other gun? Richer ain't huge, Murdock. Been more than a week since he escaped the jail in Dodge City, you know. Oh, it's Murdoch, all right. I was at his trial in Dodge City when they sentenced him to be hanged. Well, let's get after him, man. You got your guns. Yeah. Well. Oh, I'd have tried to take him by myself. Never mind. We'll take him together. Come on, Dre. And we see Sheriff. There he is, peeking through the rear window into the cafe. Yeah, that's Murdoch, all right. Get ready, Fritz. I'm ready. Go on, Sheriff. His back's turned. Yeah, all right. Luke. Murdock, get your hand, Jeff. What? Poor I'm not Murdoch. You're crazy. Hold it, Luke. I've seen your pictures on posters so many times, I couldn't miss. Rich, put the handcuffs on him. Stick out your arms, Luke. Come on.

[Host/Andrew Rines]

Here.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Roll him tight, Sheriff, and let you get him into a cell. When we do that, I'll arrange to get a stagecoach private and we'll take him back to Dodge City. Move. L. It was late afternoon when the Lone Ranger, Toto and the Stoddards reached the Chisholm Trail. Here you are. You head west on this trail. Stay on it and you can get lost again. We sure are grateful, stranger. It'll be dark within a few hours. I suggest that you set up camp then and rest the animals. You make better time when you start out again. We'll do that, stranger. Well, thanks again and goodbye. Adios. Adios. Get up. Get up. Meanwhile, in Caryville, the one topic of conversation was the arrest of the notorious Luke Murdoch. That evening, at a time when Jess and Clara Stoddard were stopping for the night in the hills a few miles from the town, Sheriff Wagner spoke to a group of men outside his office. Then it's all set. Stagecoach people are going to set up a private coach for me. Shows I can take Murdoch to Dodge City. Fritz and I are going to take him. And he'll be shackled up like no prisoner ever was. Luke Murdock. Man, was he surprised when we took him so easy. There was a stranger in town who stood at the edge of the crowd and listened to Sheriff Wagner. A short time later, he walked into Tex Carter's to pay and looked around the place. His eyes lighted on a girl dressed in a frilly red dress, the entertainer Rosalie. He was sitting alone at a table in the corner when the man sat down Beside her, the girl's face turned white with fear.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Dave, are you crazy coming here like this?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Haven't you heard about them taking Luke? Sure, I heard. I even saw them put him in jail. Why did the fool come here in broad daylight? Why didn't he wait till tonight and meet me like you were supposed to do?

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

He wanted to see me. I think he knew I lived upstairs.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, never mind guessing. Go upstairs and change into traveling clothes. Rosalie.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

What?

[Narrator/Announcer]

I have a plan. Rosalie, you're a good actress and you're going to help me. Now, don't ask questions. Just get upstairs like I said. I'll tell you what you have to do later. The man was Dave Foster, an outlaw. Fifteen minutes later, he and Rosalie, now dressed in traveling clothes, met in the shadows outside the cafe. Foster outlined his plan and ended saying, the only place I'm wanted is in Texas, so nobody knows who I am around here. That's why I'll be able to do my part without having to worry.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

But it's an awful chance to take Dave. Suppose they don't believe my story?

[Narrator/Announcer]

It's up to you to make them handle things like I told you. And this will be easier than you think. It was near midnight when Sheriff White Wagner and Fritz Emden, the man who had first seen Luke Murdoch, prepared to take the prisoner to Dodge City. Murdoch was shackled, wrists and ankles, and was pushed into the seat of the stagecoach as if he were a sack of grain. As the driver climbed up to his seat atop the coach, two figures suddenly appeared from the shadows. A girl and a man. The girl was sobbing violently, and the man was trying to console her. They walked directly to the sheriff.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Oh, Sheriff, you must help me. You simply must.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What she met him is my father.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

He's dying in Dodge City, you know.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's too bad, young fellow. I just arrived in town from Dodge City. Ms. Heath is my sister. Is that true? You work as a singer in Tex Carter's place, don't you, miss? Sheriff, they said at the stagecoach station that you were going there now. We thought maybe you might take us with you.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Oh, Sheriff, you mother.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Your prisoner's chained hands and feet will not be in the way. There's plenty of room in the coach. Look, I'll help you guard him. I'll help you. Please.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

You couldn't be heartless and not let me go to my father.

[Narrator/Announcer]

All right, get in. I'll be glad to help me.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Oh, thank you, Sheriff.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Hey, Fritz, let the young lady and gentleman get in there. Go on, miss. You f. Two miles out of Carryville. The girls sitting opposite Sheriff Wagner and Deputy Fritz Emman glanced at their prisoner, Luke Murdoch, who sat impassive between the lawmen. Suddenly, the girl gasped.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

I'm going to faint.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Watch out. She's falling to the floor. Fritz. Yeah, I'll get her, dear Miss. Wake her up. Hey, Fritz, watch out. Here's your gun. Yeah, for Fritz's hand. There. Look.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Sit back, Sheriff, or I'll drill you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

This is a joke.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

It's death if you make a move. Dave, take his gun.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Sure. I'll take both those iron Sheriffs. Rosalie, I have them. Well, Luke, we did it. You pearls. Luke Murdock. Dave's my partner, stupid. Rosalie's. Nice work, Rosie.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Luke, we have to get those irons off you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'll take the Sheriff's keys. Hey, we're crowded in here. This way, Sheriff. Tell the driver to stop, Luke. We'll get these hombres out of the coach and take it for ourselves. Yeah, good idea, Sheriff. I said tell the driver to stop. If you. Wait, wait. Don't use your gun. I'll tell him. Hey, up there. Got the coach in any. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting themes. Please permit us to pause for just a few moments.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

When Bill's at bat, the kids all shout. You can't strike that slugger out. He gets a hiss. Because he knows he's got Go Power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got Go power. There he goes. He's feeling his Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's a mighty good idea for you. Just make sure you eat a big bowl of Cheerios and milk every breakfast. And you'll get Go Power, too. Because a Cheerios breakfast is loaded with proteins, vitamins and minerals. The very things that help build healthy bodies, strong bones, good red blood and muscles. Why, they'd be the sort of breakfast you'd go for even if they didn't taste so good. And they do taste delicious. Cheerios are a real oat cereal, already cooked with that delicious toasted oat flavor. So that's for you. Swell tasting Cheerios and milk for Go Power. Eat them every morning and you'll hear.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

He'S feeling his Cheerios.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Now. To continue. When the coach stopped, Dave Foster stepped onto the road. Rosalie, help Luke onto the road. Dave stepped to the side, keeping his gun leveled as Rosalie helped the shackled Murdoch from the coach.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

There you are, Luke.

[Narrator/Announcer]

At that moment, the coach driver, curious, leaned over from his seat. Hey, why are we stopping? What's going on there, Dave. Get that arm. Break down. Shoot him if he doesn't. Before the startled outlaws could react, and before Dave Foster could lead Sheriff Wagner from the coach, the driver started his horses and Wagner fell back into the coach. Murdoch was frantic. Dave, stop them. The sheriff's there. I can't see him. Now he's turning that bend. Are you stupid ox? You should have got him off the seat before you did anything else. Luke, I didn't think. I didn't know. There. You have the keys. Dark. Here, but get the irons off my wrists and ankles. Come on. Make it fast. There, Luke. They're off.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Well, what do we do now? They'll go back to Carryville and get a posse. They circle around.

[Narrator/Announcer]

While they're doing that, we'll get out of this. Where are we head, Luke? We need horses. We'll get horses somehow. Right now we have guns and reason to vamoose from here. I know the country around here. You come with me. Rosie, Dave, follow behind. Keep watching. Luke Murdock, wise in the ways of covering a trail even in the darkness, led the girl and Dave Foster by a devious route into the hills north of the main trail. They had trudged for hours with still no signs of pursuit, when suddenly Murdoch stopped. Hey, Rosie. Dave. Look over there, standing all by itself.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

A wagon.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah, a covered wagon and horses. Nobody seems to be on guard, Luke. So I see. They must be sleeping inside. All right, get your gun out, Dave. Yeah, this is just what we wanted. Jess and Clara Stoddard, asleep inside their canvas covered wagon, heard no noise until Luke Murdock clambered into the vehicle. When Jess started to rise, he looked into the muzzle of a gun. All right, mister, just lie there. You too, lady.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Oh, my.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What? What are you going to do? If you stay nice and quiet? Nothing. You try to make a ruckus, I'll shoot you. The outlaws and the girl bound and gag Jess and Clara Stoddard and partially covered them with the blankets the immigrants had used for sleeping purposes. Then Luke and Dave Foster hitched the horses to the wagon and Luke gave instructions. We're gonna take a chance and drive east to Wichita. They may not think we'd do a thing like that. It's. Suppose somebody sees us on the road? Nobody's gonna guess. We're gonna stay off the main trail. A few miles north of here's an old trail the Indians used to travel years and years ago. Nobody knows it now, but I do. We go east on that road? Yeah. It'll be bumpy but safer. And if we do meet anybody, which I don't think we will, why, we're just three poor disappointed critters heading back east because we couldn't make a go of it out here. Rosie, honey, you'll be my wife. And Dave, you'll be my brother. Balloon. Ranger and Tato had broken camp. And now, an hour after dawn, they prepared to head westward through the hills. They left the trail and traveled along the crest of a hill that looked down on the path where they had met the Stoddards the previous day. They had been riding a short time when on the path below, they saw the outlines of a covered wagon in the distance heading his way. Another wagon. That heaps strange. What can this one be doing up here away from the trail? That wagon looks like. Wait. Get behind these high bushes. Come on. Come, Scott, Come paddle. Why you use field glasses, Kim? Sunny, I want to make sure of something. Yes, it's their wagon. Whose wagon? The Stoddards. That is their wagon and their horses. But the Stoddards aren't in the front seat. We'll drive it then, man. And there's a woman beside him. Follow. We ride down the road where it makes a turn. This is a good spot, Taro here behind the bushes. You're not going to ride on the trail, Kimosabe? No, not yet. You think maybe Something happened to Mr. And Mrs. Stoddard? That's what I want you to find out. Stop the wagon directly in front of these bushes and start a conversation. I'll listen from here. What we ask him. Kimasabe. For one thing, don't mention the Stoddage. Let whoever's driving explain about them. You merely ask what they're doing on this path. And they could be driving down the Chisholm Trail. Get up there. Come on. You know, driving over the bumpy ground on the hill path made progress slow for the escaping outlaws. Murdoch drove on until he came to the bend in the road there. He brought the wagon to a stop because the road was blocked by an Indian. Tato greeted the couple in the driver's seat. How. How yourself? What do you want, Injun? Well, me see you come this way. Me think maybe you're lost. Yeah, lost us. Why do you think that's you drive wagon? This not wagon trail. Wagon trail to south many miles. You have this wagon long time, eh? What do you mean by that? Let me ask if you have horses and wagons long time?

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Well, certainly. We've owned them for years.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Dave Foster inside the wagon moved to the front, behind the shoulder of Luke McCarthy. Murdoch. Luke. Don't waste time on that redskin. Shoot him. It'll be better that way. If he meets up with anybody later, he's liable to say he saw us. So stop talking and kill him. Foster, his back to the tailgate, did not see the Lone Ranger emerge from the underbrush and move to the rear of the wagon. Luke, if you don't shoot him, I'll do it. The Lone Ranger almost noiselessly lifted himself into the wagon as Murdoch spoke. Hold your horses, Dave. Engine. Why'd you ask how long we had this wagon? The Lone Ranger, now standing inside, answered, because it belongs to people we know. These people lying back here. Foster turned, reaching for his gun. But the Lone Ranger grabbed him, pushing him toward the driver's seat. Take that gun, Foster.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

You get him out. Shoot him.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah. I can't. Dave's in the way. Hey, turn him around. Let me get a shot at him. As Murdoch turned around, Tahoe started toward the wagon. Look.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

Watch out. The Indian has a gun. He's coming under the wagon.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What? All right, Red. Skip. Oh, my arm. Lady, you have reached for gun. Me take it there.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

You shot him.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Let me take your gun too. Drop that gun. I said drop it. My back. You're breaking it. I'll break your jaw. Now.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

You knocked him out.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He should be glad I didn't shoot him. Tao, get that girl onto the road and tire arms. Get down the road, lady.

[Supporting Character/Commercial Voice]

All right, but don't touch me. I'll get down.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, my arm. T will fix that. Murdoch, how do you know me? Your pictures in every sheriff's office in the West. I'll tell you how I know Dave Foster later. I'll banish him then tie him up. He tag first. Oh, my arm. Now I'll release the Stottage, The Lone Ranger and Tahoe. With Murdoch, Foster and the girl tied up in the rear of the wagon, led the way once more to the Chisholm Trail. The Stoddards were in the driver's seat. The Lone Ranger saw the approaching horseman. It's a posse. I see the badges shining on their shirt fronts. Tahoe, ride ahead and tell them what's happened. Tell them we have Murdoch and Foster. Get him up. Scout. Sheriff Wagner and his posse made prisoners of Murdoch, Foster and Rosalie. He, the Lone Ranger, told his story and concluded there's a price on Foster's head down in Texas, Sheriff. It's too hot for him there. I imagine that's why he came up here and joined his one time Partner. Murdoch. Well, you can be sure they'll not get away again. I'll take my entire posse as guards on the way to Dodge City. Will you see, too, that Mr. And Mrs. Stoddard arrive there safely so they can catch up with the wagon train? I sure will. We'll leave you, then. Goodbye, Mr. And Mrs. Stoddard. I'm glad things have worked out all right for you. Good luck. Thank you. Let's go, Tutto. That masked hombre. He had me sent to jail once in Texas. I knew who he was as soon as I heard his voice. I know. Clara and I were sure glad to hear it, lying in the back of that wagon. It must have sounded like the voice of doom to Foster, though. Foster? Never mind the jokes. All I know is there's no sense being an outro out here. Not as long as there's an hombre like the Lone Ranger. Cause champions are made. Not far. Yes, sir. Get on your way. Get on your way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Don't ever doubt it. Champions are made, not born. You can get there. For example, take the story of Wheaties champion Stan musial of the St. Louis Cardinals. Young Stan was willed. No claim to fame, no magic way to learn the game. He had to switch sweat and give his all. Learning to field and hit that ball. Sure Wheaties was his breakfast call. Today they call him Stan the Man. Still and always a Wheaties fan, Stan Musial has been powering up with wheaties right along 19 years. Good for Stan. Good for you. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties plate. Now watch. Stan felt that ball. On his way. He's on his way. On his way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Cause champions are made. Not far. Yes, sir. Get on your way. Get on your way. Get on your way with Wheaties. Breakfast of champions.
