  Speaker 5: Now a touchdown team from top to toe, Walker and Wheaties,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: they really go. A guy can put away a lot

  Speaker 5: of Wheaties in 18 years, and that's how long Doak
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Walker's been eating them.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Good for you? There's a whole kernel of wheat in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: every Wheaties flake. Let's go, Joe. Dig for that gold. Hey, hey, hey.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: He's on his way.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: On his way.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He's on his way.

• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Sid Rector, outlaw leader, openly led his gang in holdups
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: and robberies and escaped in spite of all efforts to
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: capture him and his followers. The most recent crime was
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: an attack on a small wagon train. The pioneers were
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: taken completely by surprise. Hey, someone's shooting at us.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Must be outlaws.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Drop your guns or we'll kill every one of you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: Mister, we have only three wagons and nothing much value.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: I know you pioneers bring your savings with you. Search
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: the wagons, men, hurry. You must keep these fellas covered.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to let you rob us.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Use a whip on me, will you? Dad.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, Dad.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Dad.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Dad.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Dad.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: You killed him. Nobody hits Sid Rector and gets away
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: with it. Hurry up, men.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: Let's get away from here. Sorry about your old man, Gurley.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: But he asked for it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Get up. Get up.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: A week later, the Lone Ranger and Tonto rode the
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: trail through the hills towards Stockton.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Suddenly... Shot come from boulders yonder. Yes. He's leaving. We'll
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: follow him. Fire over his head, Tonto. Him not shoot back.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Him fire get way. I want to know who he
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is and why he shot at us. Look, his horse
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: is following. Who's that? He must be hurt. He looked
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like a young fellow.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: The masked man and Indian approached the prone figure warily
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: and with guns ready.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: He is young. I wonder why he fired at us.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: As the throne rider sat up.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: And brushed a hand across her forehead, the hat fell back,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: revealing a mass.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Of golden hair. Look, it's a girl. Are you hurt, miss?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Just shake it. You're the outlaw.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I fired it. My gun, it's gone.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Otto, the lady's gun is lying over there.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Uh-uh.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Let me get it. We're not outlaws, as you seem
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to think.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: All right, give it to her.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You take her.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Well, you're giving it back to me. But I tried
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: to shoot you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'd like to know why.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I hate outlaws.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: But I told you you were mistaken about us. Right now,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: we let you do the explaining. You did try to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: shoot us.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: Well, a week ago, Dad and I were coming out
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: with a small wagon train to join my aunt and
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: uncle in Stockton... A gang of outlaws attacked the wagons.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: One of them, Sid Rector was his name, shot and
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: killed my dad.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. You must be. Sid Rector, the fellow
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: we look for.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Go on, miss. Why are you disguised as a young
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: man and going around shooting at people?
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: Well, I swore to find that murderer, Sid Rector. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: told my aunt I wouldn't be back until I do
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: find him. Meantime, I ain't to deal with any outlaws
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: I meet with bullets.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Isn't what you're doing risky for a young lady?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I'm a good shot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: I've been visiting my uncle out west. I went home
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: back east a few months ago and persuaded Dad to
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: come out here with me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Then.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Then that outlaw came along and.
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: We've heard of Sid Rector and his gang. Pottle and
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: I are here to help capture him.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: You talk like a lawman, but.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Well, that mask you're wearing.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You live in west before... Maybe you hear a masked
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: man who ride white stallion.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Help.
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: Law. Yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, I have. Do you carry silver bullets?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: This is a silver bullet.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is silver. I remember now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: My Uncle Jed told me of such a masked man
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: and his Indian companion.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I'm Sally Harris. My uncle is Jed Harris with the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Bar H spread near Stockton.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I've heard of Jed Harris.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Look, I'm terribly sorry about... What's shooting at you?
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: We'll overlook that now, Miss Harris. But I suggest strongly
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: that you give up your idea of hunting for Sid
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: Rector and go back to your uncle's place. We'll do
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: everything possible to find Rector and his gang and see
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: to it that they're turned over.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: To the law.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It not good for a woman to hunt outlaws. Well,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: I'll take your advice and go back to the ranch.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: But please let me know if you do find the
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: Rector gang.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: Now we'll bring back your horse and start you on
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: your way to the ranch. Sally Harris rode over the
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: hill in the direction of the Bar H. But as
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: soon as she was out of sight of the Lone
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: Ranger and Tonto, she turned her horse around and followed them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: Sally was determined to trail the masked man and Indian
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: and be on hand if and when they found the
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: man who had killed her father.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Get up there. Come on.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: In a hideout in the hills, Sid Rector looked up
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: from a game of solitaire as his right-hand man, Bill,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: entered the shack.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: What are you looking so glum about, Bill? I just
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: came back from Stockton.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: The whole town's talking about that pioneer you killed on the.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Plains last week, Sid. It seems he was the brother
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of a rancher named Jed Harris. Ah, let him talk.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Now look, I think we ought to move out of
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: this territory as soon as possible.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We'll move when I say so. Listen to reason, Sid.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: It seems like Jed Harris is away and hasn't heard
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: yet about his brother's death.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: They say he's big and tough.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: And that when he gets back from San Antonio, he'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: start the biggest manhunt for us that's ever been seen.
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: The sheriff and his men have been hunting us for
• 9:36
  Speaker 12: weeks and they haven't found us.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Our luck won't always hold. Some of the men are
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: feeling nervous about it. You leave the men to me.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I'm running this gang. And I know what I'm doing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Now, don't shabby. Just why do you want to stick
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: around here, Sid?
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: I'm going to show these people Sid Rector is tougher
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: than they think. We're gonna crack the safe in the
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: express office tomorrow night but clean it out I.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Said you're local you're known by sight and everybody around
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: here is on the lookout for you and.
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: Us I can outsmart them anytime so stop worrying where's Tom.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: He and one of the others are guarding the trail
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: of this shank for the men went for supplies good Well,
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: come on.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'll play a game of cards so the others come back.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Meantime, the Lone Ranger and Tonto rode through the hills,
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: searching for the gang's hideout. As they crossed a planked
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: culvert over a stream that ran at wide angles to
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: the trail, the Lone Ranger called a halt.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Who's got hope out there? Why, we stopped Kimosabe. I've
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: noticed something, Tonto. Huh?
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: What?
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: There are many hoof marks on this trail. But I've
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: noticed worn shoe marks that stand out.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Those worn marks don't go past the stream.
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: And there aren't as many hoof marks on the trail
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: along here.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That's right. What do you think it means?
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Well, if the gang came this way and wanted to
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: cover the trail to their hideout, it's possible they.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Rode along on that stream from here. Yes, I think
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that's what they did. We follow stream, maybe find hideout.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: No harm in trying. Let's go. Come on, Susie. Get
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: them up stout.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: The stream ran a short distance behind the shack in
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: which the gang were staying.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But at a point where it flowed between large boulders,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: two men were on guard. One of the men, named Tom,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: suddenly spoke. Hey, Wes, listen. Somebody coming. Maybe some of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the men returning from town. Maybe, but keep out of sight.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'll cross over to the other boulder. Then we'll have
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: them between us.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: The Lone Ranger and Tonto moved slowly along in the
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: shallow stream. They rounded a bend and approached the large boulders.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Suddenly.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: You're covered from both sides of the stream.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Reach and then ride past the boulders.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: If you go for your guns, you'll get thoughts.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: to pause for just a few moments.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Listen, I want you to hear a few seconds of
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: an amazing record.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Recognize it? Notice how sharp and clear it is?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: But what's really amazing about this record of Take Me
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Out to the Ball Game is that I got it
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: off the front of a.

• 13:10
  Speaker 3: of every one of these special Wheaties boxes I'm talking about.
• 13:13

• 13:37
  Speaker 3: are absolutely free of extra cost.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: A real bargain in fun. Thank you. Now to continue.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: The Lone Ranger and Tonto raised their hands above their heads.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: The Lone Ranger spoke in a low voice. We'd better
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: do as we're told, Tonto. We're telling you how many
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: there are.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Come on, son.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: Let's go.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: That's four o'clock.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We're behind you now.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: If you try anything, we'll blast you from the saddle.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Look, Kimo Sabe. There's Shaq ahead. Yeah, some two men
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: are coming out the door. All right. Them mount right
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: this way. All right now, Sid. We've trapped a couple
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: of owls. Keep a shabby. Him say Sid. That must
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: be hideout. Yes. What we do? That must be candy
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: right now. Now sit tight.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: Oh, my thunder. Tom did stop a couple of owls.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: Who said that? Why did you come snooping around here, mister?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: We were hoping to find Sid Rector.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm Sid Rector. Why did you hope to find me?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Perhaps we want to join your gang.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: What's he telling you, Sid? Says he and the engine
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: were looking for me. Wanted to join the gang. Well,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: that mask shows he's an outlaw. Maybe he speaks the truth.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Something just came to mind.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: What?
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: A friend of mine who was with another gang was
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: caught by a masked man who rides a white stallion
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: and an engine riding a paint.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: The description he gave me of the two fit these hombres.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: He said they helped the law. Well, let me talk
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: to him.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard of them.
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: And now that you mention it, Bill, I think these
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: are the two you mean. And I'm fairly sure of it. Well,
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: there are four of us here with drawn guns. Shoot
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: to kill if they make a move. Now you two
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: ride towards the shack and keep your hands high.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Get going. Come on, Zillow. Come on, Scott. Get up.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Get up. Get up.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: The lone ranger knew the caliber of men with whom
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: they were dealing and signaled Tonto to follow.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Their instructions for the time being.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: The masked man and Indian were taken into the shack.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Well, the only hombre smart enough to find.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Us got trapped. Bill, three of us will keep him covered.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: You go behind him, take their guns, put them over
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: on the table.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Right. Be ready to fire. Don't worry. Go ahead.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Moving carefully, Bill went behind the Lone Ranger and Tonto
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: and took their guns, which he put onto the table.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Now we really have them cold. What are you going
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: to do with them, Sid?
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: First tie them up. Then I'll remove that mask and
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: see who that hombre is. No, we can't keep them here.
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: I don't intend to. When the other four come back,
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: we'll have some fun. We'll let the masked man and
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: Indian run for the woods with their hands tied behind
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: their backs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: They make it before we can shoot them. They keep going.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: You know we wouldn't have a chance. That's right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: But, Wes, go put their horses back with ours. All right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Now, Bill, you and.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Tom tie them. If they have no guns now, I'll
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: keep them covered.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Bill and Tom holstered their guns, got some rope, then
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: approached the masked man and Indian. The Lone Ranger realized
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: the time had come for quick action, regardless of the risk.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: He glanced at Tonto, and.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: With an almost imperceptible nod, gave the signal to jump
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the two men. As they did so, there was a
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: sudden interruption. Don't wait till the title runs out with
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: terrific blows, knocking both Bill and Tom to the floor.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Then they grab their guns from the table. Now we
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: hold the guns. Get their guns, Toto, then tie them. Sit.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: I heard.
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: A shot.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Reach, you. Take his gun, too, Toto.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I'll take it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Miss Harris, I wondered who shot through the window a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: moment ago.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: I followed you and the Indian here. I saw the
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: guards bring you here, and that left the way open
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: for me. When I saw through the window that Rector
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: was the only one holding a gun, well, I fired,
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: hoping you'd both take advantage of the opportunity.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I see you did.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Then are you plenty good shot?
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I told you I could shoot. Now I'll help you
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: tie them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Toto and Sally quickly tied the crooks tightly, and then
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: they were placed on bunks. A moment later, hoofbeats were
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: heard approaching the shack.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: The other four are returning. Close the door, Toto.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Let me do it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: If they come in, we may be able to get
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: the drop on them.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, think them here shots.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Them not right up the shack. Them dismount back there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: They must suspect something is wrong in here. Yes. Look
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: at them. Go behind trees. Maybe try to sneak up
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: on Shaq. They're all expert gunmen, I'm sure. We have
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: to hold them off. I'll call through the window. You
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: out there! Don't come any closer! He was trapped in here.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Then separate. Shots come from every side of the building.
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: They mustn't get the best of us. I'm determined Sid
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: Rector will be turned over to the lawful punishment.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: He will be.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: For some time, shots were exchanged between those in the
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: shack and.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: The four outlaws on the outside. The Lone Ranger was
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: sure one or.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Two of them had been hit, but they kept on fighting.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Then other shots were heard from the outside.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: Look!
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Horsemen riding this way!
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: A lot of them! Must have heard the shooting. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: see Uncle Jed.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: He and the sheriff are leading some of the townsmen.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Montano, we'll go help.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I'm coming along.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: The battle lasted but a short time. Finally, the other
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: four outlaws were disarmed and subdued. Sally ran forward to
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: meet her uncle.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: What are you doing here who are those men with
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: you cover the boys.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: That's the last man you told me about in his.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: Indian frame I should have known They're friends man. No
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: need to cover me as soon as I got back
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: home and heard what had happened jelly I took all
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: the ranch hands and went to get the sheriff to.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Ride with us.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Oh He brought his men. Then we started out to
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: hunt those killers.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: That's right, Jed.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: We're sure lined up.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: We were trailing the outlaw gang when we heard the shooting,
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: so we come to find out about it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I reckon this is the gang we were.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: After, huh?
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Sid Rector and three more of his men are
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: in the shack, securely bound.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Well, Senator, mister, when you and that inching get after anybody,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: you sure get him.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Your niece was quite a help to us. She's a
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: brave girl.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Sally's a mighty fine girl, mister. Thank you.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Now, if a man had a hankering to settle down
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: and wanted a good wife, I'd.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Even say Sally... Uncle Jed, please. Well, the man who
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: marries Sally will be fortunate indeed, Mr.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Harris.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Jed, those four... Two more of them. Nope.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Mass men and engine are friends, Sheriff.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I can vouch for them. For that matter, I reckon
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Sally will, too. Of course.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Sheriff, Sid Rector, and three others are tied up in
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: the shack.
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: Well, let's go get him.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Soon, Jed, the sheriff, and Sally stood watching as the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: sheriff's men cut the ropes that bound the outlaw's ankles.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: We'll walk them out and then tie them on the horses.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: If I jib any, I still don't see how this
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: all came about. What were you doing here, Sally?
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Where'd you run across a masked man in India? Briefly,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Sally explained what had happened and how she had decided
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: to follow the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: When she finished, the sheriff said... By golly, if you
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: hadn't followed them, they might have been dead by now.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Well, maybe yes, and then again, maybe no, Sheriff. I
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: reckon Sally shot through the window, gave them the chance
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: they wanted, but I think they would have turned the
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: tables in some way on wrecking this gun, wouldn't they?
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Those two hombres are plenty fast and plenty clever.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: They moved like lightning when I did fire that shot.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: That masked man is wonderful.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: I never.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Where have they gone?
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: I saw them riding away a few minutes ago.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I reckon they figured they'd done enough for one day.
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: We could have finished them off if that girl hadn't
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: have butted in.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Shut up, Ike.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: If I take a shot at you, it'll be what
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: you deserve. You murdered my brother out on the plane.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: He and his men will hang for that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I hope so.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: I knew if I followed the masked man in Indian
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: that they'd find Rector sooner or later. Oh, I wish
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: now they hadn't found him so soon.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Stop sighing over the masked man, Sally. It won't do
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: you any good.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Why do you say that? After all, Uncle Jed, I am, well, presentable.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You're beautiful, Miss Sally. How about that, boy?
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: You see, Uncle Jed, now if I only knew who
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: that masked man is and.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Where he lives.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, Sally, forget it. You see, the whole West is
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: his home. He's dedicated his life to helping others and
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: ridding the West of crooks and killers.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I told you many stories about the masked man, Sally.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But I never told you that he's the Lone Ranger.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I don't sell that! Sailor Sam is the smartest boy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: Whoever shouted ship ahoy, he can weather any storm that blows.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: He's got go power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got go power.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: There he goes. He's feeling his Cheerios, Cheerios, Cheerios.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Kids, every delicious spoonful of Cheerios and milk is real
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: muscle-building food. Each spoonful contains vitamins, minerals, and proteins your
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: body needs. Yes, the good things in a Cheerios breakfast
• 24:06

• 24:13
  Speaker 3: made from oats, yet needs no cooking. Eat Cheerios, the
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: cereal shaped like.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Little letter O's. Then you'll hear people say.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: He's feeling his Cheerios.
