- 0:23Speaker 1: story carries the Masked Rider and Tonto through the High

- 0:29Speaker 1: that also brings the Royal Canadian Mounted Police into the action.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Brace Beamer and John Todd are heard in this NBC
- 0:37Speaker 1: Blue Network broadcast from the period when General Mills sponsored
- 0:42Speaker 1: the series. Now back to the golden age of radio.
- 1:00Speaker 2: High own s.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Why iry horse with a speed of light, the cloud
- 1:08Speaker 3: of dust, and a haughty.
- 1:09Speaker 4: High Old Silver.
- 1:11Speaker 3: The Lone Ranger, with his faithful Indian companion Tunnle, the
- 2:51Speaker 3: Masked Rider of the Planes, led the fight for law
- 2:53Speaker 3: and order in the early Western United States. The stories
- 2:56Speaker 3: of his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness have
- 2:59Speaker 3: come down to us through the generations, and nowhere in
- 3:02Speaker 3: the pages of history can one find a greater champion
- 3:05Speaker 3: of justice. Return with us, not of those thrilling days
- 3:07Speaker 3: of yesteryear from out of the pass and the thundering
- 3:10Speaker 3: who beats to the great horse Silver?
- 3:12Speaker 5: The Lone Ranger rides again.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Silver on the trail ahead.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Snake Anson was all that his name implied, an evil, slinking,
- 3:29Speaker 3: cunning creature, stopped at nothing to gain his desires. Orange
- 3:33Speaker 3: flames laughed from the gun on the dry gulch. Snake
- 3:36Speaker 3: glanced at the figure on the ground that he'd shot
- 3:38Speaker 3: in the back and jerked the watch fob of the
- 3:40Speaker 3: dead man's vest. Then some time later, Snake dismounted to
- 3:52Speaker 3: the cabin just south of the Canadian border.
- 3:55Speaker 7: He hurried through the door.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And.
- 3:59Speaker 4: Snake, what's a rush?
- 4:00Speaker 7: What's happened?
- 4:01Speaker 5: Is that lone range of glitter after you?
- 4:04Speaker 7: Now by the flint, I'm after him. Look what he got.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Let me see bullet? What about it?
- 4:11Speaker 7: The silver bullet? Doesn't that mean anything to you?
- 4:14Speaker 2: I can't say that it does. Nobody uses silver bullet
- 4:17Speaker 2: in this turret except the Lone Range.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Right, We're gonna trump his ace for this siper bullet.
- 4:25Speaker 5: I don't get it.
- 4:26Speaker 8: I've been trying to figure some way to get the
- 4:28Speaker 8: loader Ranger. Now I've got it on. If you've listened
- 4:31Speaker 8: to the stories have been told about him, you know,
- 4:33Speaker 8: fake folks think of him as a knighting shton armor.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Riding a white horse.
- 4:38Speaker 8: Maybe they're right, flint, but the armor has a flaw on.
- 4:41Speaker 8: Yeah it sucks. But and that's the kid. N sure,
- 4:46Speaker 8: maybe you don't show it much. The Lone Rangel thinks
- 4:49Speaker 8: a lot of Dan.
- 4:50Speaker 9: What of it?
- 4:51Speaker 8: If the kid was in danger, he'd ride to save him.
- 4:54Speaker 8: You mean Dan, he use the saver. But the mass
- 4:57Speaker 8: man where there's a slug fit in the kid doesn't
- 5:00Speaker 8: know you. He used to show him this super bullet
- 5:03Speaker 8: and say the Lone Rangers center.
- 5:07Speaker 4: That's saving good.
- 5:09Speaker 7: Now the next thing is to get a hold of Dan.
- 5:17Speaker 3: The Lone Ranger in Tonto rolled across the snow outside
- 5:20Speaker 3: of town. Though the mission which had brought them all
- 5:23Speaker 3: the way from Texas to the snow swept country just
- 5:25Speaker 3: south of the Canadian border, was concluded when an outlaw
- 5:28Speaker 3: went to jail, they lingered because of Dan.
- 5:31Speaker 7: Dan was a boy of.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Fourteen, a lively alert lad who had since babyhood been
- 5:36Speaker 3: vitally interested in the stories his grandmother told.
- 5:38Speaker 5: Him about the Lone Ranger.
- 5:40Speaker 4: The boy's qualities had appealed strongly to the Mask Man,
- 5:43Speaker 4: and there was something about him that.
- 5:45Speaker 7: Stirred the imagination of Tonto.
- 5:47Speaker 3: This boy named Dan had shown courage and resourcefulness. He
- 5:51Speaker 3: had proved that his loyalty to the ideals of the
- 5:53Speaker 3: Lone Ranger could not be shaken. There was something more,
- 5:57Speaker 3: something intangible. It made the Mask Man inn though keenly
- 6:00Speaker 3: interested in Dan. Suddenly, the thoughts of the Lone Ranger
- 6:03Speaker 3: and his Indian friend were interrupted by the sight of
- 6:05Speaker 3: an aged horse standing alone on the trail.
- 6:08Speaker 4: The beast seemed to be nudging something on the ground.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Can't tell from here, Tato, That looks as if someone
- 6:14Speaker 4: is hurt.
- 6:15Speaker 9: Ah, maybe all from horse.
- 6:17Speaker 4: You'll find out.
- 6:18Speaker 10: Come on up, scout, color on brown head s.
- 6:29Speaker 9: A big fellock.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Take a look, Tano. See if there's a chance.
- 6:33Speaker 9: A bulletin back. Look like we come too late? Woit?
- 6:38Speaker 11: Oh?
- 6:39Speaker 4: No, pots, he's gone, old fellow. See if he's any one.
- 6:45Speaker 9: Way, Ah, we know him.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Old mac Ah reached the end of his trail at last.
- 6:53Speaker 9: H long time since we see Old mac.
- 6:56Speaker 4: He may have been six months getting this far north.
- 6:59Speaker 4: He tda look look at his watch, Bob. This bit
- 7:02Speaker 4: of ribbon.
- 7:03Speaker 12: Remember that him takes silver bullet. You've give him long
- 7:07Speaker 12: time back tied to watch bob him say always wear.
- 7:12Speaker 4: It, yes, he said, and I can remember every word
- 7:15Speaker 4: of it. I wear the silver bullet till my dying day.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Remember that.
- 7:19Speaker 12: Ah, Remember watch hasn't been stolen her money belt.
- 7:24Speaker 7: He wasn't shot to be robbed.
- 7:26Speaker 4: I would someone kill an old man for the silver bullet?
- 7:30Speaker 4: I wonder, Pada, We're going to find this murderer. Careful
- 7:36Speaker 4: where you step their footprints. Maybe we can find a
- 7:38Speaker 4: clear one. Now you look round, Maybe over this way
- 7:42Speaker 4: we'll see him caught back and punished. You will see
- 7:47Speaker 4: that your old horse gets green pastures.
- 7:50Speaker 11: Fella.
- 7:51Speaker 4: That's about all we can do for you.
- 7:53Speaker 12: Now Here here bootprint, it an't he clear? And a
- 8:00Speaker 12: shoot from gutch the mark a boot here where ground
- 8:04Speaker 12: plenty soft?
- 8:05Speaker 4: A patch on the boot huh, we'll know if we
- 8:07Speaker 4: see it again. And some hemlock branches. We'll cover this
- 8:11Speaker 4: to protect it might behind his evidence.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Dan had heard about the Lone Ranger from his grandmother.
- 8:24Speaker 3: The thrills of her many stories told over a period
- 8:26Speaker 3: of many years, were exceeded only by the actual meeting
- 8:29Speaker 3: of the masked man, now more determined than ever to
- 8:32Speaker 3: emulate the Lone Ranger. Dan was practicing to improve his
- 8:35Speaker 3: speed at drawing a gun.
- 8:39Speaker 13: You've got a mighty lot of practice here, you Dan,
- 8:42Speaker 13: If you hope to come up to the Lone Ranger.
- 8:44Speaker 7: I guess so. I sure have a lot to learn, Graham.
- 8:48Speaker 13: Oh you're young, lad, you have a lifetime ahead of you.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Do you think the Lone Ranger was his gun fast
- 8:54Speaker 5: when he was fourteen?
- 8:57Speaker 14: I don't think so, Lady. Wait, looks like that man's
- 9:03Speaker 14: coming here, you know, I don't think so. You you're
- 9:10Speaker 14: looking for us stranger, frecking soul, looking for the Lone
- 9:15Speaker 14: Ranger's friend.
- 9:17Speaker 5: I guess you're the one.
- 9:18Speaker 7: I'm his friend, all right? Young?
- 9:22Speaker 4: What about the Lone Ranger?
- 9:24Speaker 15: Where is he?
- 9:25Speaker 7: Son?
- 9:25Speaker 5: I hate to bring anyone bad news.
- 9:28Speaker 13: If something happened to me.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Well, as to that, I can't say. I can't say
- 9:31Speaker 2: for sure what a bottom he.
- 9:33Speaker 5: Sent me to?
- 9:34Speaker 11: You?
- 9:35Speaker 7: That is?
- 9:35Speaker 5: I guess he did.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Your name's Dan, Yes, go on, go on, mister. You
- 9:40Speaker 2: wanted me to fetch you, I'm to take you where
- 9:42Speaker 2: he is.
- 9:43Speaker 7: Well?
- 9:43Speaker 4: Why do he send you?
- 9:44Speaker 2: Maybe because I happened to be handy. I didn't ask
- 9:47Speaker 2: why he picked me. He did, that's all. Oh, by
- 9:51Speaker 2: the way, he said, you might suspect something funny. He said,
- 9:54Speaker 2: to hand this bullet to you, to show him on
- 9:56Speaker 2: the level.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Bullet, Graham, it's a silver ball.
- 10:00Speaker 4: I've got to go.
- 10:02Speaker 13: I don't know Dan, but I've gotta go.
- 10:03Speaker 7: Grammy wants.
- 10:04Speaker 13: I don't know what you could do that an older
- 10:07Speaker 13: man couldn't do. Probably say, maybe the lone Ranger feels
- 10:11Speaker 13: he can trust me.
- 10:12Speaker 5: Gee, I gotta go right away.
- 10:13Speaker 4: I'll be back as soon as I can.
- 10:15Speaker 13: Well be careful, now, Dan, don't run risks. The lone
- 10:19Speaker 13: Ranger wouldn't I.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Reckon, he wouldn't send for the boy if there was risk?
- 10:23Speaker 12: Get a horse, be right, would you?
- 10:26Speaker 13: You'll take care of the boy, won't you?
- 10:28Speaker 15: Mischief?
- 10:29Speaker 5: Oh sure, don't you worry.
- 10:31Speaker 4: He'll be taken care of.
- 10:36Speaker 15: I wonder why the lone Ranger would send for a
- 10:39Speaker 15: boy a danzy.
- 10:49Speaker 3: An hour later, a Lone Ranger and Tonne reached Grandma's
- 10:52Speaker 3: house after that ride from the trail where they had
- 10:53Speaker 3: buried Old Mac.
- 10:57Speaker 13: Thank goodness, you're safe and sounds what do you mean?
- 11:01Speaker 13: Where's Dan? Didn't didn't he come with you.
- 11:04Speaker 4: No, I haven't seen him, but.
- 11:05Speaker 13: He went to you with the man you sent for him.
- 11:07Speaker 4: I didn't send anyone.
- 11:09Speaker 13: You didn't send a man with the silver bullet.
- 11:13Speaker 9: With a silver bullet.
- 11:15Speaker 13: He was a stranger, O mean faced man. I didn't
- 11:18Speaker 13: like his looks.
- 11:19Speaker 9: Which where did they go?
- 11:21Speaker 13: Dan went to the shed for a horse. The man
- 11:23Speaker 13: followed him. Then they rode off toward the north that way.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Come on, two of the silver bullets sent the mask
- 11:35Speaker 3: man and Toto in fast pursuit of Dan and the
- 11:37Speaker 3: man described by Grandma. A few moments the long rains
- 11:40Speaker 3: rained up, the tracks of two horses, met tracks of many.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Toto leaped to the ground and spent strightious minutes studying
- 11:47Speaker 3: the mass of indentations in the soft ground.
- 11:50Speaker 7: And quite suddenly, look.
- 11:51Speaker 12: Here, Kim, what did you find boot with patch micro
- 11:56Speaker 12: fellow who killed old Mac.
- 11:57Speaker 4: One of the gain tallo that was stolen as part
- 12:01Speaker 4: of a big scheme. That right, How many in this
- 12:03Speaker 4: gang looked.
- 12:03Speaker 9: Like twelve maybe fifteen headed.
- 12:06Speaker 4: From here directly toward the border. They can cross to Canada.
- 12:09Speaker 4: The laws of the states can't touch them.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Come on, the head of the lone ranger Snake and
- 12:18Speaker 3: some led his gang across the border. Dan had long
- 12:20Speaker 3: since founded resistance was hopeless and escape far all of
- 12:23Speaker 3: the question. When he realized that the United States was
- 12:26Speaker 3: back of him, that he was in the Northwest Territory,
- 12:28Speaker 3: he wondered what scheme the outlaws had in mind.
- 12:31Speaker 16: Right up, you rats will get yours.
- 12:36Speaker 5: This is the Mounties country.
- 12:37Speaker 7: Well, it looks through these binoculars.
- 12:39Speaker 5: See anything on the backtrail?
- 12:41Speaker 7: Snake, Yep, we're being fun of it. That's perfect, Just
- 12:43Speaker 7: what it would it?
- 12:44Speaker 5: Lone ranger?
- 12:45Speaker 7: Same.
- 12:45Speaker 8: We'll be front of my bootmarks now, but I'll take
- 12:49Speaker 8: a kid with me on foot. This marchs you.
- 12:51Speaker 7: What if I won't, you'll be dragged? What will we do? Snake?
- 12:54Speaker 8: You're the rest right on and walking the kid off
- 12:56Speaker 8: the trail of the fish in that cliff there. When
- 12:58Speaker 8: we get the ledge with the old cave is looking
- 13:01Speaker 8: down on the rope a nice signal with a shot,
- 13:03Speaker 8: you and the boys come back shooting the load.
- 13:05Speaker 7: Ranger, you'll be trapped on that ledge.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Couldn't we lie and wait and ham bush?
- 13:09Speaker 7: M easy with that red skin? It could would smell
- 13:11Speaker 7: and that bush a by away. Do it my way?
- 13:13Speaker 7: We won't run no risks, all right, get down you right? Sure?
- 13:17Speaker 4: You don't need me to help you, Snake.
- 13:19Speaker 7: It would have said, Oh, Dan, start hiking up that
- 13:22Speaker 7: trail ahead of me.
- 13:23Speaker 5: I follow me, boys.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Trail up The face of the cliff was sharp and difficult.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Long before Dan reached the ledge, he was out of wind,
- 13:36Speaker 3: but Snake and back of him was almost gasping for breath.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Ultimately the two reached the top.
- 13:41Speaker 7: You do just what I tell you.
- 13:42Speaker 8: You get hot red, Well, take this rope and tow
- 13:45Speaker 8: it around that rock, so both ends of the rope
- 13:47Speaker 8: fall to the plane below.
- 13:49Speaker 16: And slide down the rope.
- 13:50Speaker 5: I suppose that's right.
- 13:51Speaker 7: I'll be right in back of it here.
- 13:52Speaker 16: Snake Canson, I don't know why you want to kill
- 13:55Speaker 16: a lone ranger.
- 13:56Speaker 8: You needn't know nothing. Let's keep your trap shutting. Do
- 13:59Speaker 8: what I say, and maybe you come out of a leaf.
- 14:02Speaker 7: You know I won't.
- 14:03Speaker 16: You got no intention to let me learn to tell
- 14:05Speaker 16: the monies about.
- 14:06Speaker 7: The rope, remember it, I've got you killed.
- 14:09Speaker 8: If I don't look you, young whipper snappery, You're going down,
- 14:13Speaker 8: either by the rope or by a drop right now.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Too, all right, I'll take the rope.
- 14:19Speaker 8: Look, well, you come to confounded fool. You knock my
- 14:22Speaker 8: binoculars over the edge.
- 14:23Speaker 16: You're too bad.
- 14:24Speaker 7: Get down that rope before I lose my temper. I'll
- 14:26Speaker 7: throw you down.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Then slid down the rope and picked up the binoculars.
- 14:37Speaker 3: He stood looking at them with a sudden idea entering
- 14:40Speaker 3: his mind. Then snake came down the rope.
- 14:45Speaker 7: Haven't mind those glasses and then with the mall. As
- 14:48Speaker 7: soon as I huld this rope down, stand still.
- 14:50Speaker 16: I'm not moving.
- 14:51Speaker 8: I've got you covered every second, and don't think I
- 14:54Speaker 8: ain't ready to shoot. If I had to, h same
- 15:00Speaker 8: roof will do to tell you. I'll hit for those
- 15:03Speaker 8: big rugs and tell you there with the load Ranger
- 15:05Speaker 8: won't see nil. I'm ready, and don't get any ideas
- 15:08Speaker 8: or things because you'll be gagged. You won't make a
- 15:12Speaker 8: cent on my parts, and put a dozen slugs in
- 15:14Speaker 8: the low Ranger's head.
- 15:22Speaker 1: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
- 15:24Speaker 1: Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us
- 15:28Speaker 1: to pause for just a few moments.
- 15:49Speaker 3: And I'll continue our story. Following the outlaws trail across
- 15:53Speaker 3: the border into Canada. A lone ranger and tunnel suddenly
- 15:55Speaker 3: came upon the thing. They were looking for marks on
- 15:58Speaker 3: the ground made by a boot with a patch.
- 16:00Speaker 4: On the Soulangu and Tallow Max murderer and someone else
- 16:04Speaker 4: went up that trail.
- 16:05Speaker 9: I just meant we follow him. They pointed here.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Yes, I can't be sure, but I think the killer
- 16:13Speaker 4: has done with him.
- 16:13Speaker 10: Ah.
- 16:14Speaker 9: Hence looked like Dan's some.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Sort of a cave on the ledge ahead of us,
- 16:19Speaker 4: and they see it. Maybe that killer is in the
- 16:21Speaker 4: heading there we in Canada.
- 16:23Speaker 9: Now I think we.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Are Kimosabi Dan, we'll know for sure. Steady, now keep back,
- 16:28Speaker 4: let me go ahead, No me take lee, I get back.
- 16:30Speaker 4: I'm going to have a look inside that cave.
- 16:32Speaker 9: Wait, kimos Abi, you see something here?
- 16:35Speaker 11: What is it?
- 16:35Speaker 4: Kimos Abby? Oh, rope was passed around that rock right recently?
- 16:44Speaker 7: That's it?
- 16:45Speaker 4: Uggle ledge, keep your head done? Shot King kim below
- 16:48Speaker 4: and it aimed at us. Wait till I find out
- 16:50Speaker 4: more about it. Keep out of range.
- 16:52Speaker 9: You going cave, mean, take a look below.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Keep your head down. Someone over there got the back
- 16:58Speaker 4: trail watched town. We try other direction. Maybe let you
- 17:01Speaker 4: go higher, Maybe trail above safer it's worth a try.
- 17:04Speaker 4: I don't want to get too far from Scout and Silver.
- 17:07Speaker 4: We have to cross the way.
- 17:08Speaker 9: Oki hula, what's that crooked all way?
- 17:11Speaker 7: Watch?
- 17:12Speaker 9: If we go ahead, fellow, watch trail. If we go back, fellow,
- 17:14Speaker 9: watch trail.
- 17:15Speaker 4: If we stick our heads up here, we're in range
- 17:17Speaker 4: of others.
- 17:17Speaker 9: Ah, there's plenty slick trap.
- 17:19Speaker 4: They simply wanted to kill us. They went to a
- 17:21Speaker 4: lot of trouble.
- 17:22Speaker 12: And the other follow Try kill you them. Not go
- 17:24Speaker 12: to plenty trouble and then go to jail.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Right here in front of the caves, the only place
- 17:29Speaker 4: where out of range. I wonder how many there are
- 17:32Speaker 4: in that outfit?
- 17:33Speaker 9: On me find track of fifteen horse.
- 17:35Speaker 4: Only two came up here. Yeah, others must have ridden
- 17:38Speaker 4: on and turned back. I'm going to throw some shots
- 17:41Speaker 4: out there and take a quick look while my bullets
- 17:43Speaker 4: keep their heads down.
- 17:44Speaker 9: Huh.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Here, put my head on the end of that twig
- 17:46Speaker 4: and hold it up to draw a fire while I
- 17:47Speaker 4: get in the position.
- 17:48Speaker 9: Let me fix it.
- 17:55Speaker 4: I had a chance to.
- 17:55Speaker 9: Look around, and what you see.
- 17:57Speaker 4: There's a big boulder about fifty yards in the base
- 17:59Speaker 4: of this cliff. Plane viewed one side of it. Our
- 18:02Speaker 4: young friend is brawled on the ground rope. You mean, yes,
- 18:05Speaker 4: why him? Then he's in plain sight? He answer is obvious.
- 18:08Speaker 4: You'll shoot him if we make too much trouble for them.
- 18:10Speaker 9: Him gang, yes hurt.
- 18:12Speaker 4: I couldn't tell. He wasn't moving around. I'm sure there
- 18:15Speaker 4: are at least two men behind that boulder. I can
- 18:17Speaker 4: see their shadows standing out from the side.
- 18:20Speaker 9: How long we stay here like bearing trap?
- 18:22Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 18:22Speaker 9: I wish I did want.
- 18:24Speaker 17: You to wait to listen, to shoot to kill, so
- 18:35Speaker 17: Cliff to wait a chance to escape, just a matter
- 18:39Speaker 17: of time, I reckon.
- 18:40Speaker 5: You know you're across the border in the cannon, sure.

- 23:19Speaker 3: ground on the edge, gasping for air.
