0:00
Speaker 1: December 20th, 1954, marks episode 3,160 of The Lone Ranger,
0:07
Speaker 1: The Killer's Gun. Curly Wayne faces a murder accusation, and
0:12
Speaker 1: the Lone Ranger and Tonto take up the investigation. Their
0:17
Speaker 1: search leads to the firearm evidence at the center of
0:20
Speaker 1: the case, where the Ranger's knowledge of ballistics may tell
0:23
Speaker 1: a different story. Brace Beamer is the Lone Ranger, with
0:28
Speaker 1: John Todd as Tonto, in this later syndicated broadcast from
0:32
Speaker 1: the long-running Western series. Settle in now for The Killer's Gun. Now,
0:38
Speaker 1: back to the golden age of radio.
0:58
Speaker 2: Fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of
1:01
Speaker 2: dust and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger.
2:13
Speaker 4: Thank you.
2:46
Speaker 2: With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful
2:50
Speaker 2: mask rider of the plains led the fight for law
2:53
Speaker 2: and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in
2:56
Speaker 2: the pages of history can one find a greater champion
3:00
Speaker 2: of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days
3:03
Speaker 2: of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering
3:06
Speaker 2: hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again.
3:11
Speaker 5: Come on, Silver.
3:12
Speaker 6: Let's go, big fella.
3:13
Speaker 4: Come on, Silver.
3:15
Speaker 3: Hooray! Hooray!
3:34
Speaker 2: When Curly Wayne entered the restaurant, old Pop McCarthy behind
3:38
Speaker 2: the counter glared at him.
3:43
Speaker 5: What's the matter with you, Pop?
3:45
Speaker 7: I'm sadly disappointed in you.
3:47
Speaker 5: Why? What have I done?
3:49
Speaker 7: The word is that you've taken a job with Warren Kent.
3:52
Speaker 7: You're working at the Golden Lady. It's better than starving
3:55
Speaker 7: to death, isn't it? I'm not so sure. Why don't
3:58
Speaker 7: you get a job at one of the ranches?
3:59
Speaker 4: Because no one needs any hands.
4:01
Speaker 7: Just because you're quick on the draw is no reason
4:04
Speaker 7: to hire out as a gunman.
4:05
Speaker 8: I haven't done that.
4:06
Speaker 7: Sooner or later, Warren Kent will be calling on you
4:09
Speaker 7: to do some of his dirty work. How long have
4:13
Speaker 7: you been here?
4:14
Speaker 5: About a week.
4:15
Speaker 7: That isn't long enough to find out what an ordinary
4:18
Speaker 7: double-crossing polecat Warren Kent can be. My advice to you
4:22
Speaker 7: is to quit.
4:24
Speaker 6: I'd sooner eat. But I'll make you this promise. As
4:28
Speaker 6: soon as I find a job punching cows, I'll take it.
4:32
Speaker 8: Now, how about a steak?
4:40
Speaker 2: At nine o'clock that evening, Curly's relief man, Sam Minor,
4:44
Speaker 2: took his place on the platform overlooking the Pharaoh tables
4:47
Speaker 2: and told the young cowboy Warren Kent wanted to see him.
4:51
Speaker 5: Curly went directly to the office at the rear of
4:53
Speaker 5: the cafe. You wanted to see me, Warren? Yes.
5:08
Speaker 9: Take a look at that little knot in the wall
5:10
Speaker 9: above the ceiling. You think you could hit it?
5:14
Speaker 5: I might.
5:14
Speaker 10: From a fast draw?
5:15
Speaker 5: I might. Let's see you try it.
5:18
Speaker 4: Oh, sure.
5:20
Speaker 5: Dead center.
5:21
Speaker 8: That's real shooting.
5:23
Speaker 5: Is that all you wanted me for? No. Sit down.
5:27
Speaker 5: All right. I'd like you to take a little ride
5:30
Speaker 5: out to Thirsty Creek. You know where it is?
5:32
Speaker 8: Well, sure.
5:34
Speaker 5: What for?
5:34
Speaker 9: That's where Matt Johnson lives. He's a prospector. An old
5:38
Speaker 9: man with a beard. You remember seeing him here last night?
5:40
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
5:42
Speaker 9: Well, he won a lot. When it came time to
5:44
Speaker 9: cash in his winnings, they didn't have enough money to
5:46
Speaker 9: cover him. I was 500 short. I promised I'd get
5:51
Speaker 9: it to him today.
5:52
Speaker 10: Here it is.
5:55
Speaker 5: Will you take it to him? Sure.
5:57
Speaker 6: Of course, I'm supposed to relieve Joe at midnight. I
6:01
Speaker 6: may not be able to get back before then.
6:02
Speaker 9: I'll take your place. Matt's cabin is near a big
6:06
Speaker 9: grove of cottonwood. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it.
6:10
Speaker 4: Right.
6:10
Speaker 11: Here's the money.
6:12
Speaker 4: Good enough.
6:14
Speaker 5: I'll see you later. Yeah, yeah.
6:21
Speaker 11: As simple as that.
6:31
Speaker 2: When Curly drew rain in front of the prospector's cabin,
6:34
Speaker 2: he found the door ajar. He knocked on it and
6:38
Speaker 2: then stepped inside.
6:39
Speaker 12: Matt?
6:42
Speaker 4: Matt?
6:44
Speaker 5: Suddenly, he stopped short.
6:45
Speaker 2: The old prospector was lying on the floor, his eyes
6:48
Speaker 2: staring at the ceiling, a bullet hole in his forehead.
6:51
Speaker 8: Hey, this is murder.
6:53
Speaker 5: I'd better get to the sheriff. Easy, steady boy. Come on,
6:59
Speaker 5: get up. Ho, ho, ho, ho, easy.
7:08
Speaker 2: Curley pulled his mount to a sliding stop in front
7:10
Speaker 2: of the sheriff's office, dismounted, and ran up the steps.
7:14
Speaker 2: There were half a dozen men inside who stopped talking
7:16
Speaker 2: as he opened the door.
7:17
Speaker 4: Sheriff, there's been a murder. Matt Johnson's been.
7:19
Speaker 5: Open your hands, Wayne.
7:21
Speaker 2: What?
7:21
Speaker 5: I'll take your gun. What's the idea? One bullet fired. Wayne,
7:26
Speaker 5: you're under arrest for murder.
7:28
Speaker 4: Me?
7:29
Speaker 5: I had nothing to do with it. Tell them what
7:31
Speaker 5: you saw, Luke.
7:32
Speaker 8: Sure.
7:32
Speaker 13: I was riding along the bank of Thirsty Creek when
7:35
Speaker 13: I heard a shot. Matt Johnson's cabin was just ahead,
7:39
Speaker 13: and I figured it must have come from there. I
7:41
Speaker 13: left my horse in a grove of trees. There was
7:44
Speaker 13: a chestnut bronc standing in front of the cabin.
7:46
Speaker 5: You ride a chestnut, Wayne? Oh, yeah, but... Go on, Luke.
7:50
Speaker 4: I took a look in one of the windows.
7:51
Speaker 5: What did you see?
7:52
Speaker 4: I saw this man, Curly Wayne. What?
7:55
Speaker 13: Matt was lying on the floor, and Curly was bending
7:58
Speaker 13: over him. I saw Curly take something from Matt's pocket.
8:01
Speaker 13: It looked like money. I ran back to my horse
8:04
Speaker 13: and rode here as fast as I could.
8:05
Speaker 5: Oh, wait a minute. Keep him covered, Joe. I'll search him.
8:08
Speaker 5: What for?
8:09
Speaker 10: Money.
8:10
Speaker 6: Well, sure, if I'll admit I have some money on me,
8:12
Speaker 6: but it's... So I see. But I didn't get those
8:14
Speaker 6: bills from Matt. Warren Kent gave them to me to
8:17
Speaker 6: deliver to Matt.
8:18
Speaker 4: Ask Kent.
8:19
Speaker 5: He'll tell you. Five hundred dollars. Will you listen to
8:21
Speaker 5: me for a minute? Joe, I'll get the corn and
8:25
Speaker 5: ride out to Thirsty Creek. Lock Wayne up.
8:28
Speaker 11: Right, Sheriff.
8:36
Speaker 2: Curly waited in his cell behind the sheriff's office for
8:39
Speaker 2: nearly two hours. Then the lawman returned with his deputies
8:42
Speaker 2: in the corner, and Curly could hear most of what
8:45
Speaker 2: they said about the crime. Finally, he heard Warren Kent's
8:48
Speaker 2: voice and hoped he would soon be free. The door
8:51
Speaker 2: into the cell block opened.
8:53
Speaker 5: Sheriff says make it fast, Warren.
8:55
Speaker 10: All right, Joe.
8:55
Speaker 5: Warren.
8:56
Speaker 4: Warren.
8:57
Speaker 5: Aren't they letting me out? No, Curly.
9:00
Speaker 6: Well, didn't you tell them you gave me the $ 500
9:02
Speaker 6: they found on me?
9:02
Speaker 5: Yeah.
9:03
Speaker 4: Well, then?
9:04
Speaker 5: Matt had a lot of money in this cabin, Curly.
9:06
Speaker 5: It was all gone. They figure you took it and
9:10
Speaker 5: hid it somewhere. Oh, that's loco. I didn't have anything
9:12
Speaker 5: to do with it.
9:13
Speaker 9: Curly, you're in a bad spot. They believe Luke and
9:17
Speaker 9: they don't believe you. I think the best thing for
9:22
Speaker 9: you to do is.
9:24
Speaker 5: To get out of here.
9:26
Speaker 8: It's easier said than done.
9:27
Speaker 5: Just the same.
9:30
Speaker 4: It's all right.
9:31
Speaker 2: You can't see us. With his back to the office door,
9:34
Speaker 2: Kent reached inside his shirt and pulled out a gun.
9:37
Speaker 5: Here, take it and hide it. A gun.
9:40
Speaker 9: Hide it under your jacket, quick.
9:42
Speaker 4: All right. Huh?
9:44
Speaker 5: Oh, yes. I'm coming.
9:54
Speaker 3: The following afternoon, the Lone.
9:57
Speaker 2: Ranger and Tonto made camp in the forest that stretched
10:02
Speaker 2: for miles to the west of the county seat, and
10:04
Speaker 2: Tonto rode into town for supplies. He returned after dark
10:08
Speaker 2: with a report of Matt Johnson's murder and the additional
10:11
Speaker 2: news that the man who had been jailed for the
10:13
Speaker 2: crime had escaped shortly before dawn.
10:15
Speaker 11: Now, posse, look for him in forest. Maybe it's not
10:20
Speaker 11: good we stay here.
10:21
Speaker 10: We may be able to help find the man the
10:23
Speaker 10: posse's after.
10:24
Speaker 11: But no one know you around here, Kimisabe. Lawmen see
10:27
Speaker 11: masks and think you outlaw.
10:30
Speaker 10: Wait, listen. The search may be over.
10:38
Speaker 5: There was no further shooting.
10:39
Speaker 2: The Lone Ranger and Tonto were about to begin the
10:42
Speaker 2: preparation of their evening meal when they heard the thunder
10:44
Speaker 2: of hoofs on the trail that ran close to their camp.
10:49
Speaker 11: Maybe that crook get away.
10:51
Speaker 10: You follow him.
10:52
Speaker 5: Come on.
10:56
Speaker 14: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
11:11
Speaker 14: Ranger adventure.
11:12
Speaker 2: Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause
11:16
Speaker 2: for just a few moments.
11:18
Speaker 10: THE END.
11:48
Speaker 12: THE END Now to continue.
12:54
Speaker 2: As Curly Wayne raced along the trail through the forest,
12:57
Speaker 2: his horse stumbled and fell. Curly was thrown free of
13:02
Speaker 2: the saddle, and as he hit the ground, his head
13:04
Speaker 2: grazed a rock.
13:08
Speaker 3: Long hours passed before the.
13:11
Speaker 8: Cowboy opened his eyes.
13:22
Speaker 2: He saw that he was covered by a blanket. He
13:24
Speaker 2: touched his temple and felt a bandage. Then he turned
13:27
Speaker 2: his head.
13:28
Speaker 8: A mess, man.
13:29
Speaker 5: An engine.
13:30
Speaker 10: You'll not move. Easy does it. You had a bad fall.
13:34
Speaker 10: There's no fracture, but we're afraid there may be a concussion.
13:38
Speaker 5: My horse?
13:38
Speaker 10: He's all right.
13:41
Speaker 8: You two found me and fixed me up?
13:42
Speaker 10: We've done our best. Oh, thanks.
13:45
Speaker 8: But if you're all hoots, you'd better hightail it. There's
13:48
Speaker 8: a posse after me.
13:49
Speaker 10: We know that. You're Curly Wayne. You're wanted for the
13:53
Speaker 10: murder of Matt Johnson.
13:54
Speaker 5: Why?
13:55
Speaker 10: You escaped from jail yesterday morning.
13:57
Speaker 5: Huh?
13:58
Speaker 8: Who told you?
13:59
Speaker 10: My friend here.
14:00
Speaker 8: The agent?
14:01
Speaker 10: Yes, he went into town for supplies. They're talking about
14:05
Speaker 10: nothing else.
14:05
Speaker 8: And I suppose everyone thinks I'm guilty.
14:08
Speaker 10: Aren't you? No. Then why were you accused?
14:12
Speaker 8: Just listen.
14:13
Speaker 5: Just listen to this.
14:18
Speaker 2: The cowboy told the masked man and the Indian everything
14:21
Speaker 2: that had happened before and after his discovery of Matt's body.
14:25
Speaker 10: So it was Warren Kent who gave you the gun
14:27
Speaker 10: you used during your escape.
14:29
Speaker 9: Yeah.
14:29
Speaker 10: And this is it?
14:31
Speaker 8: Let me see. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
14:34
Speaker 10: It hasn't been fired?
14:35
Speaker 8: No, I was glad I didn't have to use it.
14:38
Speaker 10: It wouldn't have done you much good if you had.
14:39
Speaker 4: Huh?
14:40
Speaker 10: Look, it's loaded with blanks.
14:41
Speaker 5: What?
14:43
Speaker 8: Blanks?
14:43
Speaker 10: See for yourself.
14:44
Speaker 5: All right.
14:46
Speaker 8: I don't understand.
14:47
Speaker 10: I'm not sure Kent wanted you to make a getaway.
14:49
Speaker 10: This gun wouldn't have been any protection if you'd had
14:52
Speaker 10: to shoot it out with anyone.
14:54
Speaker 8: He gave me a gun that was loaded with blanks?
14:57
Speaker 10: Unless you reloaded the gun later.
14:58
Speaker 8: Oh, no, no, of course not.
15:01
Speaker 11: For would I have gotten any.
15:02
Speaker 8: Blanks, and why should I?
15:03
Speaker 10: There's something else I'm interested in, Wayne. You said there
15:07
Speaker 10: was a groove in the bullet that killed Matt Johnson.
15:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.
15:10
Speaker 6: I heard him talking about it in the sheriff's office.
15:12
Speaker 6: The bullet was almost split. My gun went Well, not
15:16
Speaker 6: this one. The one the sheriff took away from me.
15:19
Speaker 6: It doesn't do that to a bullet.
15:20
Speaker 10: Oh, it doesn't?
15:20
Speaker 8: Well, it doesn't leave any mark at all.
15:22
Speaker 10: Well, there you're wrong. Every gun leaves some sort of
15:25
Speaker 10: a mark on a bullet.
15:26
Speaker 8: Well, a little scratch, maybe.
15:28
Speaker 10: What's more, every bullet fired from the same gun has
15:32
Speaker 10: the same marks. It's experiment.
15:34
Speaker 2: The Lone Ranger slipped two cartridges into the cylinder of
15:37
Speaker 2: the revolver and.
15:38
Speaker 5: Fired two shots into the ground.
15:46
Speaker 2: The bullets were dug up, and the man examined them
15:48
Speaker 2: carefully by the light of the campfire.
15:50
Speaker 5: Oh, deep groove.
15:53
Speaker 6: Almost split. Just the way they described the bullet that
15:56
Speaker 6: killed Matt. Masked man, do you see what this means?
15:59
Speaker 10: As far as I'm concerned, it means the sheriff arrested
16:02
Speaker 10: the wrong man.
16:03
Speaker 8: Warren Kent, he did it. Then he sent me out
16:05
Speaker 8: to Matt's.
16:06
Speaker 5: Then he must have fixed it up with Luke Cahill
16:08
Speaker 5: to go to the sheriff.
16:09
Speaker 10: Tonto, I'd like to have a talk with Luke Cahill.
16:13
Speaker 11: Me no, Kemosabe. Him work at Livery Stable.
16:16
Speaker 10: Does he live there? Well, we have a few hours
16:18
Speaker 10: before it's light. Suppose we pay him a visit this morning.
16:21
Speaker 5: Not a good idea.
16:22
Speaker 8: What do you expect to gain by talking to Cahill?
16:24
Speaker 10: Information. You just rest easy until we get back.
16:27
Speaker 4: Right.
16:28
Speaker 8: Be careful.
16:29
Speaker 10: Let's go, Donovan.
16:31
Speaker 3: All right.
16:40
Speaker 10: Easy, easy, big fella.
16:41
Speaker 5: Easy, scotty.
16:42
Speaker 2: The main street was deserted as the Lone Ranger and
16:45
Speaker 2: Tonto drew rain in front of the livery stable on
16:47
Speaker 2: the edge of town. At one side of the stable doors,
16:50
Speaker 2: there were two windows. The moonlight streaming through them showed
16:53
Speaker 2: a small office. At one side, a man was sleeping
16:56
Speaker 2: on a cot.
16:57
Speaker 4: Cahill.
17:01
Speaker 10: Cahill, wake up.
17:02
Speaker 4: What do you want?
17:05
Speaker 10: Get up.
17:06
Speaker 4: Oh, tending the horses to the hitch rack. I'll take
17:09
Speaker 4: care of them in the morning.
17:11
Speaker 10: I said get up and open the door.
17:13
Speaker 4: All right, all right. You don't have to break the window.
17:17
Speaker 4: Give me a chance to pull out my books. Where's
17:23
Speaker 4: that man?
17:24
Speaker 10: What do you say to him, Kemosabe? We'll try to
17:26
Speaker 10: scare him into telling the truth. Most people take us
17:29
Speaker 10: for outlaws. We'll let him make the same mistake.
17:32
Speaker 4: All right, come on in.
17:37
Speaker 5: Hey, you missed.
17:39
Speaker 10: Better shut the door. Into the office, Cahill.
17:41
Speaker 5: Move it.
17:43
Speaker 4: Mister, I only work here. Let's not have any gunplay.
17:46
Speaker 4: All the money's in the safe and I don't have
17:48
Speaker 4: the combination.
17:50
Speaker 10: How much is in that wallet in your back pocket?
17:53
Speaker 4: Only a few dollars.
17:54
Speaker 10: We'll see.
17:54
Speaker 5: No, no, please.
17:59
Speaker 10: It looks to me like a few dollars over 500.
18:01
Speaker 10: That's all I have in the world. We're not interested
18:04
Speaker 10: in small change. Here, take it.
18:07
Speaker 4: Thanks.
18:08
Speaker 10: Now sit down. I want some straight answers.
18:13
Speaker 4: What do you want to know?
18:14
Speaker 5: First, you'd better be told who we are. We're friends
18:17
Speaker 5: of Curly Wayne's.
18:18
Speaker 10: Curly's an owl hoot? There was a posse chasing him tonight.
18:21
Speaker 13: Oh, that was because... You mean he was an owl
18:25
Speaker 13: hoot before he came here? I thought he was just
18:28
Speaker 13: a saddle bum.
18:29
Speaker 10: That's where you and Warren Kent made a big mistake.
18:32
Speaker 10: He has friends.
18:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sure.
18:35
Speaker 13: What is it you want to know? Curly doesn't have
18:38
Speaker 13: anything to worry about. The posse lost his trail. He's
18:41
Speaker 13: safe wherever he is.
18:42
Speaker 10: We know that. But Kent isn't safe and neither are you.
18:45
Speaker 4: Oh, please.
18:46
Speaker 10: Straight answers.
18:47
Speaker 4: Sure, sure. I told you anything you want to know.
18:50
Speaker 10: Kent paid you $ 500 to go to the sheriff.
18:54
Speaker 4: I didn't want to. I had to. I owed him
18:57
Speaker 4: a lot of money and he threatened.
18:58
Speaker 10: Never mind, never mind. How much did Kent get from
19:01
Speaker 10: Matt's cabin after he killed him?
19:03
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
19:04
Speaker 10: You'd better be sure.
19:05
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it was at least 10,000.
19:08
Speaker 10: All right. We'll settle for that.
19:11
Speaker 4: Why?
19:12
Speaker 10: We'll settle for 10,000. You can tell Kent to bring
19:15
Speaker 10: it to the old mill on the river road tomorrow night.
19:18
Speaker 10: Not later than 9 o'clock. If he isn't there on time,
19:21
Speaker 10: he'll be facing guns that aren't loaded with blanks. You
19:25
Speaker 10: have it straight?
19:25
Speaker 5: Well.
19:26
Speaker 10: Why don't you tell him yourself? There are too many
19:28
Speaker 10: people around the Golden Lady.
19:30
Speaker 4: Oh, no, not at this time of night.
19:32
Speaker 13: And there's an outside stairway that leads up to the
19:34
Speaker 13: rooms on the second floor.
19:36
Speaker 10: You've been elected to tell him, Cahill. You tell him
19:39
Speaker 10: and tell him right away.
19:40
Speaker 4: All right.
19:42
Speaker 10: Let's go, Tonto.
19:42
Speaker 5: All right.
19:51
Speaker 2: From the shadow of a building across the street, the
19:54
Speaker 2: Lone Ranger and Tonto watched Luke leave the stables and
19:57
Speaker 2: hurry toward the Golden Lady. Then the Masked Man and
19:59
Speaker 2: the Indian rode through the alley to the rear of
20:01
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's house. The Masked Man entered through an open window,
20:05
Speaker 2: and a few minutes later, the Sheriff woke to find
20:07
Speaker 2: a gun pointed at him.
20:08
Speaker 5: Well... What?
20:10
Speaker 10: You're coming with me, Sheriff.
20:19
Speaker 2: At the foot of the outside stairs, at the rear
20:22
Speaker 2: of the Golden Lady, the Sheriff stopped. Only one of
20:25
Speaker 2: the windows that opened on the second floor balcony showed
20:27
Speaker 2: a light. The Sheriff turned to the Lone Ranger, who
20:30
Speaker 2: still held a gun at his back.
20:31
Speaker 5: Up the stairs. Why?
20:33
Speaker 10: You'll soon hear something that will interest you a great deal, Sheriff.
20:37
Speaker 10: Now up the stairs and try not to make any noise.
20:48
Speaker 10: At the top of the stairs, the Lone Ranger pointed
20:51
Speaker 10: to the open window, and the sheriff walked ahead of
20:53
Speaker 10: him toward it. Luke's voice reached them clearly.
20:56
Speaker 4: I'm telling it to you exactly the.
20:58
Speaker 10: Way it happened.
21:00
Speaker 5: Luke Cahill. This is far enough, Sheriff. Listen. You can't
21:03
Speaker 5: make me believe Curly Wayne is an outlaw.
21:05
Speaker 4: Well, the big hombre who barged in on me tonight is.
21:08
Speaker 4: He was wearing a mask, and he said he was
21:11
Speaker 4: a friend of Curly's.
21:12
Speaker 9: Naturally, Curly knew he'd been framed when he found out
21:15
Speaker 9: there were blanks in that gun I gave him.
21:17
Speaker 4: And he must have figured out that I was in
21:19
Speaker 4: on it, too.
21:20
Speaker 5: Yes, I was hoping he'd be shot trying to make
21:22
Speaker 5: his getaway.
21:22
Speaker 4: Well, he wasn't.
21:24
Speaker 13: Now he and his outlaw pals want the 10,000 you
21:27
Speaker 13: got from Mad Scafford.
21:27
Speaker 5: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
21:30
Speaker 11: I have an idea.
21:31
Speaker 13: That madman said you must be at the old mill
21:33
Speaker 13: tomorrow night at 9 o'clock.
21:34
Speaker 5: Yes, I heard you. Let me think for a minute. Now,
21:39
Speaker 5: if I were to go to the sheriff, I've.
21:43
Speaker 10: Heard enough, Sheriff.
21:44
Speaker 5: I'll need a gun to make an arrest.
21:46
Speaker 10: Here's one. The same one Kent gave Curley in jail.
21:49
Speaker 10: It's the same one that killed Matt Johnson. Fire it
21:52
Speaker 10: and see what it does to a bullet. What?
21:53
Speaker 5: Out of your, Sheriff. Wait. Luke, there's nothing to worry about.
21:56
Speaker 5: I have it. You've had it, Warren.
21:58
Speaker 4: What?
21:58
Speaker 5: You're under arrest. The charge is murder. What? The following morning,
22:14
Speaker 5: Curly Wayne entered the sheriff's office. Sheriff. Morning, Curly.
22:19
Speaker 6: What are you doing here so early? A friend of
22:24
Speaker 6: mine persuaded me I should give myself up.
22:26
Speaker 5: That so? Didn't your friend tell you why you should
22:28
Speaker 5: give yourself up? No, sir.
22:30
Speaker 15: Well, Warren Kent and Luke Cahill are in jail. And
22:34
Speaker 15: all the charges against you have been dropped.
22:37
Speaker 8: That's mighty good news.
22:39
Speaker 15: I am interested in your friend. He wears a mask,
22:42
Speaker 15: doesn't he? Why, I don't see what... What difference it makes?
22:46
Speaker 15: Neither do I. Did he happen to mention giving me
22:50
Speaker 15: this gun last night?
22:52
Speaker 8: Why, that's the gun Kent gave me.
22:54
Speaker 5: That's the gun, yes, sir. And just take a look
22:57
Speaker 5: at the bullets he used to load it. Are they silver?
23:01
Speaker 5: Sure are. A mask, silver bullets. Curly, did he happen
23:07
Speaker 5: to call his horse silver? Yes, Sheriff.
23:10
Speaker 6: What you're trying to say is that My friend, that hombre.
23:15
Speaker 5: I thought was an owl who does none other than.
23:17
Speaker 10: The Lone Ranger, Curly. Yes, the Lone Ranger.
23:23
Speaker 3: The Lone Ranger. Oh, my God.
25:37
