  Speaker 4: Before this exciting adventure, a word from our sponsor.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Remember way back when, when you were a kid growing up?
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: You always found time to make a side trip to
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: the little grocery store down the block. That's where you'd
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: find the big display of Mickey snack cakes.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Remember?
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: Didn't it make you happy to pick up a devil
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: delight and take a whiff?
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: What a chocolatey smell.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: And remember the coconut-sprinkled Jim Jams or the cream-filled banana flips? Well, today,
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: Merida bakeries still make the Mickey snack cakes you used
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: to love as a kid. That's why Mickey snack cakes
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: are called Smile Food. The bakers know they're spreading smiles
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: and sunshine wherever Mickey snack cakes are sold. Find a
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: little neighborhood grocery store today or a big modern supermarket.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Look for the display of Mickey snack cakes. They're all there,
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: like you used to remember. The Devil Delights, the Jim Jams,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: the Banana Flips. Treat yourself to some fresh memories. Treat
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: yourself to a Mickey snack cake. Have a smile on us.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: ¶ ¶.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: mask rider of the plains led the fight for law
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: the pages of history can one find a greater champion
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Of the great horse Silver.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: The Lone Ranger rides again.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Come on, Silver.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Let's go, big fellow. I'm Silver.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: Hooray!
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Hooray!
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Early one afternoon, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were traveling
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: at a leisurely pace through the rock-studded hills of southern Kansas.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Suddenly, the Masked Man exclaimed, Tonto, look.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Tonto on trail ahead. He's been hurt.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Come on, Tonto.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: The Lone Ranger raced to Pete Higgins' side.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: We need our medical supplies, Tonto. I'll see how badly
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: he's wounded.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Him alive?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, but he's hurt badly. Bullets hit him in the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: head and shoulder, huh? It's a good thing we found him.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Another half hour like this and he might have.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Him lose plenty of blood.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Dirty skunk. Bushwhacked me for the railroad money. What'd him say?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: He mentioned bushwhackers.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: He's got a shirt from shoulder wound.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Good. I'll take care of his head wound.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: Ooh.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Him open eyes came asabi.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Take it easy, stranger. What? Mesh, man.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Todd and I stopped to help you. You're a crook.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That's a natural mistake, friend.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Shut up, Rob.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Nothing left to steal it. I can lose consciousness, Miss Abby.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. We'll camp in the hills and take care of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: him until he's strong enough to be moved to town. Ah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Miss Abby. Meanwhile, we'll do our best to find the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: men who shot him.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: As the masked man and Tonto bandaged the stranger's wounds,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the gunman who had ambushed and robbed him neared the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: lazy S.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Ranch house.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: When they reached the corral, Jake Black pointed to a
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: fine palomino.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, look, Lucky. Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: The boss must have gotten back from Fayette.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Lucky. Oh, it's windy.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Heading this way on the double.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: The boss wants to see you two frontal.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: He at the house?
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he got back from Fayette an hour ago. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: he's plenty riled.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: About what?
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: The law hung his brother's scar.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Hey, where you been?
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: Looked all over the place for you. Yeah, we went
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: to town for a while. Well, you better get the
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: ranch house fast. The boss wants to talk to you, Hector, Smaldy, Juan,
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: and me.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: The others are there now, waiting for us.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I wonder what's on his mind.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Jesse Ransom, the owner of the Lazy S, had murder
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: in mind. A murder for which he was willing to pay...
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: as he explained to the hard-faced crew of men assembled
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: in the ranch house living room.
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: I did my best to buy and bribe my brother
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: out of that hanging. I went to Fayette carrying $ 25, 000.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: I'd have given the warden every dime of it to
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: save Scar's life.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: But it was no use. They hung him, huh, boy?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: I left territorial prison, swear, and I get the men
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: who put him behind bars.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: He was captured by a masked man and engine.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Lone Ranger and Tonto.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Well, if Scar hadn't killed two guards trying to rob
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the Wells Fargo office in Dodge City, he wouldn't have hung.
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: I took $ 25, 000 to Fayette to buy Scar off. Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: that's right. I don't know. I brought that cash back
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: with me. And I'll pay it to any one of
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: you who brings me the mask, man, and the engine.
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: But before you get any ideas of going to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: law with the story of my offer, remember one thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: I've got enough on each of you to send you
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: to prison. Yes, but we don't know where to find
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: the Lone Ranger, Tonto. Finding him is your job. Killing
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: him is mine. All you gotta do to earn $ 25, 000
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: is find a Lone Ranger in Tonto and bring.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Them to me.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: As Jesse Ransom's men filed from the ranch house living room,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Jake took the stolen watch from his pocket to check
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the time. Ransom's beady black eyes flashed angrily as he
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: snatched the watch from Jake's hand.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's the idea?
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Where'd you get this watch, Jake?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I bought it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: You're lying!
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I bought it in town.
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: I've seen this watch lots of times.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Pete Higgins' initials are in the back of it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You see them? Well, I bought it from Pete, boss.
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: I've heard him say his mother gave him this watch
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: on his 16th birthday.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: He'd die before he'd sell it. You'd better admit the truth, Jake.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: You stole it. All right, I stole it. What else
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: did you get?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Some cash.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: I know Higgins too well to believe he gave up
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: without a fight. You must have shot him. Boss, look,
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: I didn't... Don't worry about me turning you over to
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: the law. I just want to be sure you won't
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: be caught.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know who shot him.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: You mean you left him alive?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Well, he was hit bad.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Was he dead? Well, if he wasn't killed outright, he
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: couldn't have lived long after we left him. Where's the body?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: On the trail to his place.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Oh, you junkheads!
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: What's wrong?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Why didn't you get rid of the body?
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: What do you mean? Well, if you buried him somewhere,
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: the law couldn't prove you killed him. Without a body,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: no one can prove murder.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I never thought of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: You'd better start thinking, Jake, or you'll end up like Scar.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: The end of a rope.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Come on, Lucky, we'll get rid of the body.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the sooner the better.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I reckon.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: You reckon right. I hope no one's found it yet.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, before we leave, boss, I'll take back that watch.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Don't worry. I don't want it. That watch could hang you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I'll not make the mistake of flashing it again.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: You're local if you keep it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You're the only one who knows I got it. Come on, Lucky. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. So long, boss, and thanks for the advice.
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: You can return the favor, Jake, by bringing me the
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: Lone Ranger and Tonto.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That's easier said than done.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Early in the afternoon, Jake and Lucky reached the place
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: on the trail where they ambushed Pete Higgins.
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: Hold on, boy.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: He's gone, Jake.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Someone must have found the body.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: I hope he was dead when they found him. This
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: ground's too hard to show tracks. It'd take us a
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: week to follow a trail.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: Whoever found him might have taken him to town.
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: We'll go there and ask questions.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:18
  Speaker 11: Get up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Get up.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: The thieves went to Starville in an effort to learn
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: whether or not a dead man had been brought to town.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: But no one could throw any light on Pete Higgins' whereabouts.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Deeply puzzled by the disappearance of the rancher's body, Jake
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and Lefty headed for the Sundance Cafe. As they walked
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: along Main Street, Jake shook his head. I don't savvy it, Lucky.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, neither do I.
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: Someone must have found Higgins. He was too badly hurt
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: to walk away from the ambush. Maybe he was. Ah,
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: how far could you travel with bullets? wounds in your
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: head and shoulders? Not far, I reckon.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: No, no one could. All the same, he's gone.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe some prospector found him and buried him.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Or maybe he... What's the matter?
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Jake, look at the redskin who just threw rain in
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: front of the cafe.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Huh? What about him? I know him.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I've seen him before.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've more to worry about right now in a strange...
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: His name's Tonto. What?
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: I saw him once before.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Tonto?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: The red-skinned pal of the Lone Ranger.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: We'll continue our Lone Ranger adventure in just a moment.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Time sure have changed.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Time was when people saved cookouts and picnics for summer
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: and lazy Sundays spent under a big oak tree in
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: the town park.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Well, today's family eating habits are much more flexible.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Mom might have forgotten how easy it is to fix
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: a cook-in for lunch, maybe with hot dogs and baked beans,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: or a casual dinner with cheeseburgers, soup, and salad. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: as you're planning your easygoing meals, don't forget to invite Marita,
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: as in Marita Hot Dog and Hamburger Buns. Remember, Merida,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: we're the people who bake while you sleep. That's the
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: only way Merida can promise you'll find the freshest rolls
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: and bread and cakes the very next day on your
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: grocer's shelf. But remember, we bake our famous hot dog
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: and hamburger rolls all year long. So relax a little.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Plan quick and easy meals your family will love. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: don't forget Merida. Merida enriched hot dog and hamburger rolls.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: We're not just a summertime thing.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Now to continue. As Tonto drew rain in town, Lucky
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Layton recognized him.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, Lucky.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Are you sure that's Tonto?
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Of course I'm sure.
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: He and his mass panel captured a couple of wrestlers
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: down near the border. I saw the engine take the
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: prisoners to the sheriff's office.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Coming this way. Oh, how do you do? What are
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you doing in town? Uh.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Me want find doctor. Oh, well, Doc Rowley lives in
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the cabin just down the street.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a place with a pine tree in the yard.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, thanks. Me go get him.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, just a minute.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You're a stranger around here, aren't you?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's right. What's your name? Me Tonto. Tonto, huh? Well,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: my partner and I are sure glad we could help you.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Me go see doctor.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: What'd I tell you, Jake?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: I'll bet my share of the cash we get from Higgins...
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: that the Lone Ranger's around here somewhere.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Those two travel together, don't they? Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: The masked man must need a doctor... and didn't want
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: to risk being seen in town... so he sent the engine.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: That means the Lone Ranger's sick or wounded.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: The engine will likely head for the Lone Ranger's camp...
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: when he leaves here. Wait till the boss hears this, Jake.
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: Why tell him about it? Well, he wants the masked
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: man in town.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: If we tell him they're around here.
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: Windy, Cactus, Baldy, or Juan might beat us to the
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: reward he's offered for those two.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: This is time to lead us to the mask man.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: We'll capture him and collect the $ 25, 000 ourselves.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Now listen, tangle him with the Lone Ranger's risking.
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: For that much cash, I'll take the risk. If you're
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: with me, say so. If not, I'll get him myself. Well,
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: do you think we can get away with it?
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: If I didn't think it could be done, I wouldn't
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: try it. All right, I'll go along with you.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Now you're showing sense.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: Hey, there's the engine. He's coming down to Doc's place.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Doc's with him. Carrying his bank full of medicines. We'll
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: follow him when they leave town.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, in camp, where the Lone Ranger waited for Tonto
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: to return from town with the doctor, Pete Higgins' eyelids opened.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: For the first time in many hours, the rancher was
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: fully conscious. He smiled gratefully as the masked man handed
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: him a drink of water.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Here you are.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks, mister.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Tell me, who are you?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Pete Higgins.
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: I own a ranch about six miles from Starville. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: reckon I've been hurt bad.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You're lucky to be alive. Do you know who shot you?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I got a good look at both the ranch.
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: One's named Jake Black and the other is Lucky Layden.
• 14:42
  Speaker 11: They work for Jesse Ransom.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Ransom?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: You know him?
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Tyler and I captured a killer named Scar Ransom some
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: time ago. I wonder if Jesse and Scar are related.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't know.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a horse and wagon.
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: It's heading this way.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I asked Tyler to bring a doctor from town.
• 15:03
  Speaker 11: Then it must be Doc Riley. I don't know who
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: you are, mister, or why you're on the Dodge, but
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: you've been mighty good to me, and I won't forget it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: We're not outlaws, Pete. I'm glad we were able to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: help you.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: You see the buckboard, mister?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, a heavily bearded man's driving it and Tonto's riding alongside.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: As Tonto guided the wagon toward the campsite, the lone
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: ranger noticed a small cloud of dust rising some distance
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: behind them. He studied it for several minutes and decided
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: his Indian friend.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And the doctor had been followed. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Tonto and the elderly doctor drew rain in the well-concealed camp.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: This is Dr.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Rowling. I'm glad to know you, doctor. Howdy, mister.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: What in the world happened to you, Pete?
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: This engine came to my place and described the man
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: he and his pal found wounded.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I recognized your description.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Tonto, watch that cloud of dust.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Looks like riders coming this way.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: They may have followed you from town.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: No.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: What do we do?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: We'll leave the doctor with Pete. We'll step out of sight.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Unnoticed by Pete or Dr. Rowley, the masked man and
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Indian moved away from the campsite. They were well concealed
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: by brush and trees when Jake and Lucky cautiously approached
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: the small clearing with drawn guns. As soon as he
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: saw them, Pete Higgins shouted.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Look out, Doc. Hey, Pete Higgins.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: You dirty, dry, gulching killer. Now take it easy, Pete.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: You're covered. You shot and robbed me. Who brought you here?
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: A masked man in redskin rescued me. How'd you find
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: this place? We followed you and the redskin from town, Doc.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: We didn't expect to find Pete at the end of
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: the trail. Where's the masked man in Tonto?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Right here. Hey, what the... Grab your gun!
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: As Jake and Lucky whirled to face the Lone Ranger,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the masked man's colts roared. Shattered guns flew from the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: outlaw's hands, smashed beyond repair.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: That's just the start. I'll give you one more gun, buddy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: No, no, my gun's smashed.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Lucky stared helplessly at his empty hand, while Jake snatched
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: a long-bladed knife.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: From a sheath on his belt. I'll kill you.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Gripping the knife, Jake charged the masked man. As he
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: sidestepped the attack, the masked man fired again. A silver
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: bullet struck the blade of the knife, splintering the weapon
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: in the killer's hand. An instant later, the Lone Ranger
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: swung his gun barrel against the side of Jake's head.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The ambusher went down.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Good for you, mister. I told that jughead you were
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: too much for us.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I warned him. Keep them covered, Toto, while I search them.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Me savvy.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: They've got my money, my papers, my watch. Jake's got
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: your watch.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Do not try fast moves.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Oh, don't worry. I know when I'm licked. If I'd
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: had any sense, I wouldn't have come here gunning for
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: you two.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Why did you come gunning for us?
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: I'll bet anything the rats came to finish me off.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: We didn't even know you were here. We came to
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: get the masked man and his Indian pal.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: What hit me?
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: The Lone Ranger hit you, you mutton-headed idiot. I wish
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: it had have been me. You and your smart ideas.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: You talked me into this.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It was your idea.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Collecting the reward Jesse offered for the Lone Ranger and
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: his pal.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Who offered a reward for us?
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Jesse Ranson wants you and your pal.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know Jesse Ranson.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: You captured his brother, Scar.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, so that's it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: Jesse's offered $ 25, 000 to the man who gets you in
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: the engine. Why'd he offer the reward? He wants to
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: kill these two.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: We had a great day in the morning.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Pete.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Did you know the masked man is the Lone Ranger?
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: I know. I'm learning plenty.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So am I, Pete. Lucky the boss will kill you
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: when he finds out you talk.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Thanks to you, I'm in too much trouble now to
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: worry about Jesse.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Here are your papers, your money, and your watch, Pete.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: Thanks, Mr.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We'll tie these men, Tonto, then take them to the sheriff.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Pete and Dr. Rowley will travel with you and verify
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: your story about them. All right. And where you go?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: To Jesse Ransom's ranch.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: Set foot on Jesse's place, mister, and you'll stop lead.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: When you leave the sheriff's office, Tonto, come to the ranch.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I may need help.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: When the Lone Ranger reached the vicinity of the Lazy S,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: he drew rein. Concealing silver in a grove of trees,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: he waited in the darkness for some time. The moon
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: was high overhead when he glanced at his watch. Donald's
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: had time to reach town. Returning the watch to his pocket,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: he checked his guns. Then, while clouds obscured the moon,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: he approached the lamp-lit ranch house.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: French doors gave.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: A clear view of the living room, where Jesse Ransom
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: sat at his desk, checking accounts by the light of
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: a brightly burning desk lamp. Lifting the latch on the door,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: the Lone Ranger stepped into the room.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I understand you're looking for me, Ransom. You.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: For a moment, the startled ranch owner stared wide-eyed at
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the masked man. Then he reached for a gun. The
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Lone Ranger's hands flashed to his host.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Don't try to draw.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: What are you doing here?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I heard about the reward you're offering for my capture.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Who told you?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Two of your own men.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: Those dirty squealers.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: I've got enough on them to kill them all.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You'll have a chance to tell the law what you know.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: And at the same time, you can explain why you
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: hired criminals.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: I've waited a long time to meet you, mister. You
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: killed my brother.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I turned him over to the law. He was hung
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: for murder. So you planned to murder me.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: I was scorned to settle.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I understand your bitterness, but you're on the wrong track.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I have a right to be bitter.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Scar was my only living relative.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I... You're going to be a lot sorrier.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Boys, help!
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: That's enough, Jesse.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: You'll never get off this place alive, mister.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: You're true.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: As Jesse spoke, the Lone Ranger backed toward the wall.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: An instant later, the door opened.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Hey, what's the trouble, boss?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Step inside and keep your hands away from your gun.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: The masked man. He's the Lone Ranger.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: The Lone Ranger?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Get him, Wendy. Kill him and I'll pay you.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: No, no, not me, boss. I'm not trading lead with
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: this gent. I'll tell the lawyer I wanted.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I'll see that you go to jail.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: I'd rather go to jail and risk stabbing a bullet.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: My hands are up, mister.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: Can't I count on any of you?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Fire guns cover that masked man, boss.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Juan Miguel spoke from the French door through which the
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Lone Ranger had entered the room. The swarthy-skinned gunslinger grinned triumphantly.
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: You'll pay me $ 25, 000 and I will kill him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: The money's yours as soon as you pull the trigger, Juan.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: As Juan spoke, a gun roared in the darkness outside
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: the ranch. A bullet struck the gunman's shoulder as Tonto
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: shot it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You got your cupboard?
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, and I'm here to round up the lot here.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: It's a sheriff.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I'll kill him. Keep your hands up, Jesse. You and
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: your friend are still covered.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: He brings Sheriff with posse, Kimizami.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Good work, Tonto.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: If what Lucky and Jake said is true, four of
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Jesse's ranch hands are crooks.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: Lucky and Jake tell plenty on.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: The way to town.
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: They told me all about the scheme to kill you
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: and Tonto, mister.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: If you have men enough with you to handle the prisoners, Sheriff,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Tonto and I will be on our way.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: Four of my deputies have the situation under control.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: In that case, we'll leave you. Come on, Tonto. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: left Silver in a grove of cottonwood trees. We'll get
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: him and head for Oklahoma. Me ready, Kimo-sama. Adios, Sheriff.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: So long, mister.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: And the next time you come to this part of
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: the country, I guarantee no one will be gunning for you.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Sheriff. We may see you again. I hope so, mister.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Well, Jesse, meeting that masked man is going to cost
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: you a lot more than you figured.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Right now, I wish I'd never heard of the Lone Ranger.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I'll do that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Hello there.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: I'd like to just take a minute to talk to
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: you about Morita brown and serve rolls. As you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Morita means all that's fresh and good that goes into

• 22:44
  Speaker 6: serve rolls are the ones that bake to a flaky
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: golden brown in just six minutes. There are 12 delicious
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Morita Brown and Serve rolls in every package. And if
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: you don't use them all right away, that's all right, too.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Morita guarantees freshness for several days after you buy them.

• 23:08
