  Speaker 1: John Todd as Tonto. Fred Foy is the announcer. The

  Speaker 1: directing for ABC. Settle in now for another visit with
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the masked rider and his faithful companion. And now, we
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: return to the original broadcast.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of dust, and a hearty Hiyo Silver, the Lone Ranger.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: THE END.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: THE END.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: THE END.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: THE END.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: masked rider of the plains led the fight for law
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: the pages of history can one find a greater champion
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: hoofbeats of.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: The great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Come on, Silver.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Let's go, big fellow. I'll do it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: Hooray!
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Sitting beside a campfire in one of the territories of
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the southwest, the Lone Ranger read a message which had
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: been relayed to Tonto by an Indian runner.
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: As he finished, he said... Tonto, this note came from
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: our old friend the Padre. He wants us to look
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: into conditions in the Murado Valley. That long way for mission.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: That's true, but the Padre learns many things from travelers.
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: In some way, he's heard of it that a man
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: called Don Diablo is terrorizing the valley. What's that fellow's
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: real name? The Padre wasn't able to find out. In fact,
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: he wrote rather skeptically about the rumor.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Don Diablo can be translated as Sir Satan. The alias
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: suggests a Spaniard or Mexican. It may be that the
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: man is an American if he actually exists. Then what
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: do we do? Prepare to ride. We're going to the
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Murado Valley.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: After several days of hard travel, the Lone Ranger and
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Tonto rode into the vast and fertile lowlands where Don
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Diablo was supposed to hold sway. Walled in by almost
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: impassable mountains, the Murado Valley was a little world of
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: its own, rarely visited by outsiders. At first view, it
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: appeared to be a purple place.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Look, Kimosabe, a fellow over there got hurt a goat.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: We'll have a talk with him. Come on, Silver. Get
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: him up, Scout.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, him.
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: Him old man, gray beard. Oh, much better. Old men
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: speak more freely than young ones. He make peace sign. Oh, Silver, oh.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Silencio, Chivos.
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: Buenos dias, amigo. Oh, buenos dias, senor.
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: It is always the good day when the sun does
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: not hide his face.
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: Ha, ha, ha. That seems to be a reference to
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: my mask. Don't let it frighten you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Senor, I am too.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Old to fear death, too poor to fear bandidos. We're
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: not bandits. We're strangers in a strange land. Do you
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: know this valley well? Si.
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: I am that one they call Chivo Padre. Goat father,
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: you savvy? Like a goat, I know El Valle Murano
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: from end to end.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Did you ever hear of anyone called Don Diablo?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Por Dios, do not speak that name, never. Why not?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Do not ask.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: I have not seen you, I have not heard you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Vamos, chivos.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: The old man made the sign of the cross and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: hobbled away in a panic, swinging his staff at his
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: bleating flock. The lone ranger stared after him.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Although Don Diablo were Satan himself, he couldn't strike more
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: terror into the hearts of the valley men.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Maybe him, not man at all. Maybe him like evil
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: spirit that scare Indian.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: Whatever he is, we can be sure of one thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: We're riding on terror's trail.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: The following morning found the masked man and Indian deep
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: in the valley. With each mile they traveled, their sense
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: of danger grew. Though they had seen nothing that seemed
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: to threaten them. The haciendas which they passed in the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: distance appeared inviting. Cattle grazed peacefully in lush meadows. Birds
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: caroled in the trees. But the malign name which no
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: one wanted to hear was ever in the minds of
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the two friends. They rode in thoughtful silence until... Otto, there's.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: A rider coming this way.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Ah, there's something wrong with him.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: Look how him ride bent over. Yes, he may be hurt.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: What's the matter, friend?
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: Him not even look up? Grab his reins. Easy now. Toto,
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: this man is dead. How?
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Dead man?
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: Ride a horse? His legs have been tied to his
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: saddle girth. Hold on to his horse. I'll get down
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: and take a closer look. Easy, steady fellow.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Steady.
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: Nobody hurt you. This man was shot in the head.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: He was a deputy sheriff.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Nazi badge on vest.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Fastened to his back and holds a note. I'm unpinning
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: it now. There, I have it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: What note say?
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: It reads, Sheriff Pembroke Rosario, I am returning your spy
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: con mucho gusto. What's that mean? With much pleasure. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: that's not all. The message is signed, Don Diablo.
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: Oh, it looked like him figure horse would go home
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: with dead man and note.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: That was it. He wanted to show his contempt for law.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Repenting the badge and note to the murdered deputy's back,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the lone ranger searched his pockets and saddlebags. He found
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: nothing of any significance. Then he noted that the dead
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: man's hat had been pulled on so tightly that it
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: could not fall off. Removing it with some difficulty, he
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: looked inside and exclaimed... Otto, the deputy.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: Was carrying the rattle of a chihuahua's spur in the
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: sweatband of his hat.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: What do you make of that?
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: My guess is that it had something to do with
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: his murder. Certainly he considered it valuable, or he wouldn't
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: have taken such pains to conceal it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: We never see American wear Chihuahua spurs.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Few, if any, do. Some Mexican vaqueros use them while
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: riding vicious horses. But under ordinary circumstances, a wearer of
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: such spurs betrays himself as being insanely cruel. That's right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: This rail is gold-plated. The spikes are needle-sharp and more
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: than an inch long. You can imagine what they would
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: do to a horse's flanks.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Maybe Don Diablo knew this. Deputy find it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: That's a possibility to be considered. Chihuahua Spurs fit his
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: character as we know it. Now that we've seen his
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: hand to work. I'll keep this row for the time being.
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: And what we do with dead man? Let the horse
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: take him on to Rosario and backtrack it while the
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: trail's fresh. Get along, fella. Get along. Well, him head
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: in right direction. Yes, easy city, big fella.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Come on, silly.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: As the masked man and Indian took the back trail
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: of the dead rider, Carlos Shelby, the wealthiest man in
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the Murado Valley, pulled down one of the books which
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: lined the walls of his Hacienda library a few miles away.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: The owner of a score of big ranchos, Shelby was
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: a small, effeminate-looking man of mixed blood, noted for generosity
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and hospitality. When Shelby appeared in public, he wore English
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: tweeds and gold-rimmed spectacles. He always carried a book, never
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: a gun. The book which engaged his interest at the
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: moment was a German language copy of Nietzsche's latest work,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Also sprach Zarathustra. He turned the pages idly until a
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: line caught his eye, and he translated to himself.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: Thus spoke Zarathustra.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: The criminal is the type of the strong man.
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: How true.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: This Nietzsche... I'm.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Thinking it was a mistake to do it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not the reason why. As Tennyson so aptly
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: put it. Yeah, yeah, I know.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: I'm just your top gunslinger.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: But I don't want my neck stretched. Please explain that statement,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: my dear fellow.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: For two years now, you've been working your darn Diablo
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: game on the people in this valley. That mean the
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: other boys kill ranchers, burn buildings, rustle cattle.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Everyone in the valley....
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: In another two years, I'll own the Murado. It once
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: belonged to an ancestor of mine.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: A Spanish conquistador who won it from the Indians with
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: sword and fire, rope and whip.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: I'm following in his footsteps.
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: You might assure yourself.
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: Why shouldn't I be? I'm above suspicion. People believe that
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Don Diablo is a Mexican bandit who has a stronghold
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: in the mountains.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: You're afraid to speak his name.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: That doesn't explain why that lawman was spying on your ranch.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: He was watching it through field glasses when I plugged him.
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: Ahoy, Palloy is always curious about the way in which
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: its batters live. Still, it was just as well that
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: you removed him.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: I think he was sent out to investigate the raid
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: we made on the Hermosa ranch the other night. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: maybe he found something there that pointed to you.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: What could he have found?
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: We plugged old man Hermoso and the young Manuel Martinez.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: You.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: Got the Hermosa girl, Rosita, here.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: That accounts for all the witnesses. Unless somebody like the
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: cook got away.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: What could a witness tell? We were masked. All right, boss.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Have it your own way. I always do. Bring Rosita
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Hermosa to me.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: As Mort left the room, the man who was both
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Carlos Shelby, highly respected ranchero, and Don Diablo, the terror
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of the valley, took a quirt from a desk drawer.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: The whip had a loaded handle and many knotted thongs,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: which he drew through one hand with a caressing motion
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: until the door opened again.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: There she is, boss.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Stay outside the door, Mort.
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: Senor Shelby.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Does that surprise you, my dear?
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: Senor, this is not possible. That unspeakable one, Don Diablo
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: and his banditos have killed my padre and my Manuel.
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: They've carried me off, but here I am in your hacienda.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Senorita, I am Don Diablo.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Is that true?
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: No, you make the joke. You are the good senor,
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: the rich ranchero. Much times I have danced at your fiestas.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: So I noticed. That's why you are here.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Let me out of this place.
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: My dear girl, are you stupid enough to think that
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: I'd let you go alive? You will stay.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Alive only so long as you please me. So be pleasant.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: Here.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Do not touch me, beast.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Nietzsche has a chapter on women. Let us see what
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: he advises. Let me see. Here it is. He likens
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: women to cats. And concludes with this line. Forget not
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: the whip.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: The whip.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: The whip.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: As the book-minded killer continued to scan outpourings of the
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: insane German philosopher, Rosita grabbed up another volume from the desk.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, read these!
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: As she spoke, she hurled the book straight into Shelby's face,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: smashing his glasses.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: I'll kill you for that!
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: He lashed at her with his quirt, but she nimbly
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: dodged him and retreated to the door just as it opened.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Let me out! For Dios, let me out! I got it, boss.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: What'd she do? She broke my last pair of glasses.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I can hardly see without them.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: And only an optical company in San Francisco can supply
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: the kind I need.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: You want I should hold her while you lay the
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: lash on her? That will come later.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Lock her up.
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: And keep her locked up until I can get new glasses.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: I want to see her writhe in pain.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: I want to see.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: See.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: to pause for just a few moments.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Lone Ranger THE END.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Now to continue.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: As Carlos Shelby raged in the library of his hacienda...
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: The lone ranger and Tonto reached the end of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: murdered deputy's back trail on a rock-strewn ridge a mile away.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: They drew rein.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: Tonto, this is where he was shot. With this mountain
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: look around, easy steady now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Before the masked man had taken more than a half
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: dozen steps, a rifle cracked. The bullet fanned his forehead.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: As he flattened himself, the hidden rifleman fired again. Glancing
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: from a rock above his shoulders, the slug screamed off,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: narrowly missing the horses.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Keep down, Tonto.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: What we do.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: I'll fire into the air to hold his attention while
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: you slip around behind him. Be savvy.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Stealthily working his way through the rocks, the Indian soon
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: reached a point from which he could see the bushwhacker kneeling.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Behind a boulder.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: He was a haggard young man with a stained rag
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: tied around his head. Tonto crept forward. Just as the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: youth was about to fire again.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: He sprang.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Drop rifle, Tonto.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Taken completely by surprise and feeling Tonto's revolver against his back,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: the bushwhacker let go of his weapon.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Now stand up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Stand still.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: I have too much wound to run. Bring medicine kit.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: I'll be right with you.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Several minutes later, the masked man appeared with a first
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: aid outfit. He gave the youth a look of compassion.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: Why did you shoot at me, young man?
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: You know why, Don Diablo.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: I'm not Don Diablo. Toto, here's the kit. Take care
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: of his wound. Ah, me fix you up, don't I?
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Mil gracias, senor Indio. I have made a big mistake.
• 17:21
  Speaker 12: But that evil one, Don Diablo, he wore a mask
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: on the night of Tuesday when he and his bandidos
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: raided the Hermoso Ranch, stole Rosita, killed her father, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: left me for one dead.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: You say he carried off a girl? Si, senor.
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: Mia Rosita, the beautiful one, I, Manuel Martinez, wish to marry.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: How did you happen to be here on the ridge?
• 17:40
  Speaker 12: I wished to find the deputy who came to the ranch.
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: I told him what Don Diablo did. We looked at
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: the trail of the evil one and his bandidos, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: after two days he was gone. But we found a
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: gold rowel from a chihuahua spore.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Was this it?
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Si, senor, the very one. You took it from the deputy, no?
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: Yes, Manuel. But he was dead. He was shot here
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: on this ridge and tied to his horse.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Don Diablo kill him.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Did you ever see anyone around here wearing chihuahua spores?
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: No. No, but on this ranch, which is owned by
• 18:13
  Speaker 12: the good senor Shelby, I have seen horses that someone
• 18:16
  Speaker 12: used them on. Oh, they were hurt much bad. This
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: I told the deputy and he came here to watch.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: There, your headdress, fella. How it feel?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, bueno.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Gracias. Do you have a horse? Si, si.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: He's on the other side of the ridge.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: If you think you can stand it, I'd like to
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: have you go to Rosario and tell the sheriff all
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: you know. And give him the silver bullet.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Bueno.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: It's only a four-hour ride. And, senor, you are muy hombre.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: You'll try to find my Rosario, si?
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Yes, Manuel, we'll try. Come on, Toto. Let's get around
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Shelby's hacienda.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Late that afternoon, Carlos Shelby decided to take a ride,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: being unable to read without spectacles. An aged, ugly, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: prison-broken outlaw, whom he was pleased to call Caliban, helped
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: him put on his polished English boots and spurs... The
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: bookish buccaneer of the plains was in the midst of
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: a quotation from Paradise Lost when the old ex-convict interrupted.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: There you are, boss. I'll stomp your feet.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Caliban, what's wrong with the spur on my left boot?
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: There's a harsh sound. I can't see it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: I was just going to tell you about it, boss.
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: You lost one of the gold rowels with the long spikes.
• 19:39
  Speaker 13: I replaced it with another rowel from a common pair
• 19:41
  Speaker 13: of spurs. Of course, it won't hurt a horse as much.
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: It was your fault that I lost the chihuahua Raoul.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Your job is to keep my things in condition. Maybe
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: this will help you remember your duty.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: No, boss, don't.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: First my glasses, now my chihuahua spurs. Oh, sorry, Mr.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Drew, where is this?
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: There isn't a horse in the garage.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: What?
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: They're all in the remuda the boys took along when
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: he sent them out in the range for the roundup yesterday.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Won't be back for two or three days.
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: So I'll have to stay here. Fates conspire to keep
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: me from my pleasures.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: At that moment, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were engaged
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: in making a close observation of the Hacienda from a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: clump of cottonwood trees. Like most structures of its kind,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: the old Spanish ranch house was built like a fort.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: The flat roof was supported by beams which projected through
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: the walls. A low slotted parapet surrounded the roof. Taking
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: in those details, the masked man remarked... Tonto, that hacienda
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: was built to be defended. There is certain to be
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: a hatch in the roof.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: What hatch got to do with Don Diablo?
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: Shelby may well be Don Diablo.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Why do you say that?
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: Because only a ranch owner is in a position to
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: use Chihuahua's spurs on valuable saddle stock. Shelby's hacienda is
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: the only one for 50 miles around. That makes him
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: a likely suspect. Tonight we'll try to enter the hacienda
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: through the roof.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: During the dark hour just before moonrise, the Lone Ranger
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: and Tonto led their horses as near the hacienda as possible,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: then crept forward to the base of its rear wall.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Hearing no sound from the rooftop, the masked man shook
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: a loop out of a lariat, and cast it at
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: the end of a beam which was just visible against
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: the sky.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Caught.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Kimo Sabe, me got moccasins. Better me go first. All right,
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: go ahead.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Pulling himself upward hand over hand, the Indian quickly reached
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: the beam. After pausing a moment, he silently hoisted himself
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: over the parapet. The masked man joined him and stood listening.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Hoofs drummed into the hussy.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And the grounds.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: The rider reined up. He entered and soon faced Mort
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: and Carlos Shelby in the library.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: He was saying.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I didn't go with the other fellas. I went to town,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: and you can be glad that I did. Yeah, how so, Logan?
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: The sheriff is headed here with a big posse and
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: a search warrant. That's ridiculous.
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: And what evidence could he obtain a search warrant?
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: All I know is that he's coming.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Suppose he finds that girl. He won't.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: In the patio, there's an old Spanish well with a
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: plank cover. Indian slaves dug it in the days of
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: the conquistadores... I've been told that it's more than a
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: hundred feet deep, but dry.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, so what?
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: Get the girl and throw her into it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: When the Lone Ranger finally found the hatch and descended
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: the ladder to an alcove off the library, Carlos Shelby
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: was alone.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Maskman.
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: Stand where you are, Don Diablo. Your satanic rule in
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: the Murado Valley is finished.
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: What do you mean by calling me Don Diablo?
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: Useless for you to try to bluff me. The riles
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: on your spurs are mismated. One is the original Chihuahua rile.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: I have the other. It was found on the Hermoso
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: Ranch after your raid.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: You can't convict me on evidence like that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: Where's the girl you carried off?
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: Questions bore me.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: Tonto. Here, Kimosabe.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Watch Shelby.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: I'll see what's going on. As the masked man dashed.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Out of the library, Mort half-dragged, half-carried the shrieking Rosita
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: into the patio.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: He was yelling.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Morgan, get the cover off that well.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: In the light of the.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: Newly risen moon which flooded the patio the Lone Ranger's
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: right-hand gun blossomed.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Red Logan dropped his revolver and staggered back, clutching his shoulder.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: At the same time, Mort whirled to face the masked man.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Thrusting Rosita in front of him, he drew a colt.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: But before he could fire, the girl sank her teeth
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: into his wrist. He let go of her with a yell.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I'll take that gun.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: Rosita, get back from the well. Pick up the other
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: man's gun.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Disarming Mort, the lone ranger started to back away. But
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: in his anxiety for the safety of the excitable girl,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: he turned his eyes away from the man for an instant.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Mort closed with him.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Pinning the masked man's arms with a hold that made
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: it impossible for him to use his guns, the hired
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: killer tried to topple him into the pit. Both men
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: tripped over the well cover and fell. The Lone Ranger
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: let go of his guns, and straining every muscle broke
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Mort's grip. Scrambling to safety, he dragged his adversary along.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: The fight had gone out of the gunman. He lay
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: on the flagstones of the patio, eyes closed, as Rosita
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: picked up the Lone Ranger's guns and returned them to him.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: Here, senor.
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: Let us now finish these pigs who have killed my
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: father and my Manuel.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: The law will punish them. Anyhow, your Manuel is alive.
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: Alive?
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Is it true?
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: At that moment, Carlos Shelby leaped out of an open
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: window in the library and landed in the patio. Tonto
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: leaped after him. As the Lone Ranger rushed to intercept him,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: the would-be conquistador.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Headed toward the well.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Ahead of him, both the mouth of the pit and
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: its cover appeared as circular shadows on the surface of
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: the patio. Mistaking the hole for the lid, the near-sighted
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Satanist dashed to its brink. Although the well was only
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: eight feet in diameter, he saw his error too late
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: to jump. As he fought to stay himself and regain
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: his balance, some of the weakened stonework gave way. He
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: toppled and plunged headlong into the pit. One start at
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: the cave-in of the ancient masonry inside the well continued,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: with tons of stone cascading into the depths, which had
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: swallowed the arch-criminal. A short time later, the sheriff, who
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: had been summoned by Manuel, was in the patio with
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: several deputies. The lawmen had put Mort, Logan, Trent, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Caliban in irons and had dispatched a strong posse to
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: the range to round up the rest of Shelby's night-riding terrorists.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: As the excitement abated, the lone ranger and Tonto joined
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: the sheriff near the well.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: Sheriff, can you convict Shelby's hired killers?
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 14: Shelby's flunky, that old fellow called Caliban, will testify against him,
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: along with Manuel and Rosita.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: By the tunnel that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: Well is deep here.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Deep as perdition.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: Don Diablo is going back where he came from.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: No. It is good he took his book with him.
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: But for the masked one, I might be down there.
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: Well, men, let's put the cover back on before some
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: decent person falls in.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 26:50
  Speaker 14: The lid is on the infernal hole.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: So it is finished.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Bueno. Mass, man.
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: The Murado Valley owes you a heap, eh? What do
• 27:01
  Speaker 14: you think Shelby aimed to do?
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Establish himself as a dictator here. Had he succeeded, he
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: would have tried to expand his power by terrorizing the
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: whole southwest. Well, Tonto, it's time that we rode on.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, you must go so soon, senor.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: Yes, Sorita. Adios, friend. Adios, amigo. Adios.
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: Senor Sher, do you know who the masked one is?
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: That I do, Rosita.
• 27:25
  Speaker 14: When Manuel gave me that silver bullet and described the
• 27:28
  Speaker 14: man who had sent it, I knew right off.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: So?
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: That mash man is a lone ranger.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: The End.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: THE END.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. THE END.
