- 2:43Speaker 2: the pages of history can one find a greater champion
- 2:47Speaker 2: of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days
- 2:51Speaker 2: of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering
- 2:55Speaker 2: hoofbeats of the.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Let's go, big fellow. I am Silver. Hooray!
- 3:07Speaker 4: Hooray!
- 3:19Speaker 2: The Lone Ranger and his Indian companion, Toto, rode along
- 3:23Speaker 2: the trail near Red Rock. They were heading southward toward
- 3:26Speaker 2: the mission to visit their friend, the Padre, who had
- 3:29Speaker 2: sent them a message through friendly Indians asking them to come.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It was late afternoon when the Lone Ranger and Toto
- 3:36Speaker 2: reached the mission and came to a stop in the courtyard.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Welcome, my friends.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I have been watching for you. It's good to see
- 3:48Speaker 2: you again. Your arm is bandaged, Tonto. We ran into
- 3:53Speaker 2: some trouble on the way here. Someone shot us from
- 3:56Speaker 2: ambush and one of the bullets grazed Tonto's arm.
- 3:59Speaker 3: You're most fortunate, my friend. You might have been killed.
- 4:02Speaker 3: We realize that. Come inside and we'll talk. I've prepared
- 4:05Speaker 3: some food. Thank you, partner.
- 4:12Speaker 2: A few minutes later, inside the mission, I sat down
- 4:15Speaker 2: to discuss matters. After the Lone Ranger had told the
- 4:18Speaker 2: details of what had happened on the trail, he asked,
- 4:22Speaker 2: And now, Padre, what did you send for Tonto and me?
- 4:26Speaker 4: The settlers who have small farms in Green Valley are
- 4:29Speaker 4: having trouble. Many of them are thinking of leaving the territory.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Because of it. What trouble do they have?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Mysterious fires have broken out among their buildings at times. Also,
- 4:39Speaker 4: some of their livestock have been poisoned on several occasions.
- 4:43Speaker 4: and their fences have been torn down, allowing their few
- 4:46Speaker 4: cattle to wander.
- 4:47Speaker 3: How long has that been going on, Padre? For about
- 4:50Speaker 3: a month, I believe.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Hank Jarrell, who owns the only large ranch in that valley,
- 4:55Speaker 4: has organized his men and tried to run down.
- 4:57Speaker 3: The culprits, but they avoid capture. I see.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Jarrell is the man who asked me to send for you,
- 5:03Speaker 4: my friend. It seems one of the settlers who knew
- 5:07Speaker 4: about you and knew of our friendship mentioned it to Jarrell.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Gerald came to the mission himself? Si, several days ago.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I promised to ask your help. Of course, we'll do
- 5:18Speaker 2: all we can. I wonder how many in the valley
- 5:21Speaker 2: knew he was asking for our help.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Gerald told me no one knew, except the man who
- 5:26Speaker 4: had told him about you. They decided to keep the
- 5:29Speaker 4: matter quiet.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Good.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Tonto, I'll ride on to Green Valley now. We should
- 5:34Speaker 2: reach there by sundown. It isn't far from here.
- 5:36Speaker 3: That's true.
- 5:38Speaker 4: I know you'll do all you can. But be careful, amigo.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Clever men must be at work in that valley.
- 5:44Speaker 3: That's right. We'll be careful.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Come, Tonto, we go now.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Adios, padre. Adios, my friends. And may the Lord protect you.
- 5:59Speaker 2: As the Lone Ranger and Tonto checked their riding gear
- 6:02Speaker 2: before mouthing to leave the mission, they discussed.
- 6:05Speaker 3: What they'd heard. Steady, Scouts. Steady, Father.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Kimus Nabi, you think someone from Green Valley tried to
- 6:15Speaker 4: stop us from getting to mission?
- 6:17Speaker 3: I thought of that, Tonto.
- 6:19Speaker 2: But the Padre said he was told no one knew
- 6:21Speaker 2: we'd been sent for except Hank Jarrell and one of
- 6:24Speaker 2: the settlers. It's possible the news got out somehow. The
- 6:28Speaker 2: men responsible for spreading terror in the valley may have
- 6:31Speaker 2: heard it.
- 6:31Speaker 3: That's right.
- 6:32Speaker 2: There may be a camp near Green Valley. After dark,
- 6:35Speaker 2: we go to Jarrell's ranch. I'll wait in the shadows
- 6:38Speaker 2: while you get him to come out to talk to me.
- 6:40Speaker 3: All right, let's go.
- 6:52Speaker 2: It was after suppertime when Hank Jarrell and his wife, Sarah,
- 6:55Speaker 2: heard a knock at the ranch house door.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Oh, lamb's sakes, I wonder who that is. Well, I'll
- 7:01Speaker 3: answer it, Hank. Maybe more trouble in the valley. Is
- 7:06Speaker 3: Hank in, ma'am? Oh, it's you, Mr. Mullins. Well, do
- 7:10Speaker 3: come right in. Come in and have a chair, Sam.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Make yourself comfortable. Thanks.
- 7:14Speaker 4: I'll just go along into the kitchen while you men talk.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Sit right there, Sam.
- 7:19Speaker 2: I don't mind if I do. I was wondering if
- 7:22Speaker 2: there's any news of that mask man yet that you
- 7:25Speaker 2: asked to part with.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Us, Sam.
- 7:26Speaker 4: There is sign of him. I have my doubts if
- 7:29Speaker 4: he'll show up at all. I think we're up against
- 7:32Speaker 4: something nobody can fight, Sam.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Sam? If I didn't have so much to give up,
- 7:38Speaker 3: I'd get out of this valley. You would?
- 7:40Speaker 4: Of course, the settlers don't have much to leave, so
- 7:44Speaker 4: they could easily.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Go somewhere else.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I almost wish I was one of them right now.
- 7:51Speaker 4: You sure do sound discouraged, Hank.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Some settlers are already thinking of clearing out, but I
- 7:58Speaker 2: persuaded them to stay a while longer. I reckon I'll
- 8:01Speaker 2: get on back to my place now. Don't like to
- 8:05Speaker 2: be riding around alone too late at night.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Never know what's going to happen. Yes, that's right. You've
- 8:11Speaker 3: had mass. Go and bring shoes up. I'll get word
- 8:14Speaker 3: to you, Sam. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night, Hank.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Good night. Hey, somebody's coming toward the house. An Indian...
- 8:33Speaker 3: Holy smoke, Abbot. Hey, you. Come here. Huh?
- 8:39Speaker 5: Oh, well.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Me come see Hank Jarrow. Is he with you? He's
- 8:45Speaker 3: not savvy. The mask man.
- 8:47Speaker 2: The Padre says he rides with an Indian named Tonto.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Me, Tonto. I knew it. I knew it. I'm Sam Mullins.
- 8:54Speaker 3: I told Jarrow about the mask man. Then you come
- 8:57Speaker 3: talk to Lone Ranger. Him see Jarrow later. Kim Asami. Hello.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Is that Hank, Gerald? No, I'm Sam Mullins, a settler.
- 9:09Speaker 3: I told Hank about you. Oh, I see.
- 9:11Speaker 2: You and Hank are the only ones who know I
- 9:13Speaker 2: was sent for? That's right. Hank didn't think you'd show up.
- 9:17Speaker 2: He was downright discouraging about it a few minutes ago.
- 9:20Speaker 2: But I was sure you'd get here. Why did Gerald
- 9:23Speaker 2: think we wouldn't arrive?
- 9:25Speaker 3: Don't know.
- 9:26Speaker 2: He said we all ought to leave the valley. He
- 9:29Speaker 2: doesn't think anyone can do anything. Said he'd go.
- 9:32Speaker 3: If he didn't have so much to leave behind, better
- 9:36Speaker 3: come and see Hank. He'll be surprised. I'll see him later, Sam.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Not right now.
- 9:41Speaker 2: But I thought the Indian was heading to the ranch
- 9:43Speaker 2: house to get Hank when he.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Ran into me.
- 9:45Speaker 2: That's right. I've changed my mind. In fact, Sam, I'd
- 9:49Speaker 2: rather you don't tell Gerald we're here yet. Well, you
- 9:52Speaker 2: must have your reasons. But it sure surprises me you
- 9:56Speaker 2: don't want to see him right away.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Don't worry about it, Sam.
- 9:59Speaker 2: We're here to help. but we must do it in
- 10:01Speaker 2: our own way. All right, mister, whatever you say. Were
- 10:05Speaker 2: you heading for home?
- 10:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:07Speaker 2: But now that you're here, I'm going to ride up
- 10:08Speaker 2: the valley and talk to some of the settlers. Encourage
- 10:11Speaker 2: them some. Then I'll head back for home.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Where do you live? Third place, south of here. We'll
- 10:17Speaker 3: talk to you later. All right, I'll be waiting. Good night.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Good night. Go ask Gerald to come out to talk
- 10:23Speaker 3: to me now, Tonto. I'll wait here.
- 10:35Speaker 2: A few moments later, Hank Gerald came out with Tonto
- 10:38Speaker 2: and met the Lone Ranger.
- 10:40Speaker 3: You're the Lone Ranger, eh? I'm sure surprised to see
- 10:43Speaker 3: you here, mister. Why, mister?
- 10:48Speaker 4: Now that you're here, I hope you can do something
- 10:50Speaker 4: about what's been going on.
- 10:52Speaker 3: We'll try our best.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Say, did you come straight here to my place, or
- 10:56Speaker 4: did you stop at Sam Mullen's place first?
- 10:59Speaker 2: We came straight here. I'll leave it to you to
- 11:02Speaker 2: tell Mullen we've arrived.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Yeah, sure. Uh, where are you camping in case I
- 11:07Speaker 3: want to get in touch with you?
- 11:08Speaker 2: We're, uh, camping in the grove about half a mile
- 11:10Speaker 2: down the trail.
- 11:11Speaker 3: You'd better keep your eyes open. Huh?
- 11:14Speaker 4: The bombings you were causing, the trouble seemed to have
- 11:16Speaker 4: a way of finding out everything.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Well, thanks for the warning. We'll leave now. Easy city,
- 11:21Speaker 3: big fella. Good night. Good night, mister. Thank you.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Late that night, the lone ranger and Toto were rolled
- 11:44Speaker 2: into their blankets at the camp. Suddenly, the great horse, Silver,
- 11:48Speaker 2: raised his head and whinnied as he gazed across the
- 11:50Speaker 2: small moonlit clearing into the shadows.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Toto, Silver is giving a warning. Ah. He'll look across
- 11:59Speaker 3: the camp. Quick. We'll slide out of our blankets and
- 12:02Speaker 3: crawl into the shadows. Let's go and hurry. Ah.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Ah. We'll continue our Lone Ranger adventure in just a moment.
- 12:22Speaker 2: That goes for the star wherever you are.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Take Barbara Ann Scott, figure skating champion from the Northland.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Watch her on this one. Barbara Ann's good.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Now there is a champ who's a real Wheaties fan.
- 12:56Speaker 6: Sure helps to keep a gal up on her toes.
- 12:58Speaker 3: A guy, too.
- 12:59Speaker 6: Take Bob Lemon, who pitches a lot of ball for
- 13:01Speaker 6: the Cleveland Indians. Lemon knows what champions know. Wheaties for breakfast,
- 13:06Speaker 6: away you go. Gosh, no wonder the champs of tomorrow
- 13:10Speaker 6: are eating Wheaties today. There's a whole kernel of wheat
- 13:13Speaker 6: in every Wheaties flake.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Keep on eating, yo! Now to continue.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Awakened by a warning whinny from Silver, the Lone Ranger
- 13:42Speaker 2: and Tonto quickly slid from their blankets, just as a
- 13:45Speaker 2: fusillade of bullets swept the clearing. The two men lay
- 13:53Speaker 2: prone in the shadows, and as Tonto started to reach
- 13:56Speaker 2: for his gun, the Lone Ranger touched his arm to
- 13:58Speaker 2: restrain him. The Indian and masked man waited, tense and quiet.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Then they heard voices back.
- 14:07Speaker 3: They're leaving now. Someone else is coming. Have your gun
- 14:14Speaker 3: ready this time, Taro? Uh-uh. I see you right here now.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I'm cutting in from cradle.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Sam Mullins, who had gone to talk to some of
- 14:24Speaker 2: the settlers, was returning to his own place when he
- 14:27Speaker 2: heard the shooting. He approached the rolled blankets cautiously. Then,
- 14:31Speaker 2: seeing Silver and Scout, he stopped in surprise.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Holy mackerel. I recognize those horses. Somebody must have killed
- 14:38Speaker 5: the lone ranger and the Indian. We're all right, Mullins.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Oh, man alive.
- 14:43Speaker 5: I heard shooting, and then when I saw those blankets
- 14:45Speaker 5: rolled up there looking like somebody was still in them, I.
- 14:47Speaker 2: We slid out of them and left them that way purposely.
- 14:51Speaker 3: We had warning of what was to happen just in time.
- 14:53Speaker 2: It's those mystery men again. But how will they find
- 14:56Speaker 2: out you were here and where your camp is?
- 14:59Speaker 3: I have an idea how they found out.
- 15:01Speaker 2: First, we'll pick up their trail and see where it
- 15:03Speaker 2: leads us.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Then we'll make plans, Sam. Let's get going. Come on.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Come on. Come on.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Though the gunmen had tried to cover their tracks, the
- 15:20Speaker 2: Lone Ranger and Tonto managed.
- 15:22Speaker 3: To keep on the trail.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Finally, they arrived with Sam Mullins at the rear of
- 15:27Speaker 2: Jarrell's ranch, where they stopped in the shadows. Hey, Gally,
- 15:34Speaker 2: I don't figure this at all.
- 15:35Speaker 3: You will before long, Sam. There's a light in the
- 15:39Speaker 3: ranch house. I suggest you go in. See who is
- 15:42Speaker 3: with Jarrell and ask him if he's heard from. you say, mister?
- 15:48Speaker 2: Come back and tell us what he said and what
- 15:49Speaker 2: you find out. Todd and I will be waiting at.
- 15:52Speaker 3: The front gate. Sure. I'll ride around to the front
- 15:54Speaker 3: right now. Hold out, E.G.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Get up there. A few minutes later, Sam Mullins stood.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Knocking on the ranch house door. Well, Sam Mullins again, eh?
- 16:15Speaker 3: Come on in, Sam. Oh, thanks, thanks. You know my
- 16:20Speaker 3: two cowpokes, Sleepy and Max? Oh, yeah, sure. How are you, fellas? Hi, Sam.
- 16:25Speaker 3: What brought you back at this hour, Sam? It's almost midnight.
- 16:28Speaker 3: I know.
- 16:29Speaker 2: But you see, Hank, I couldn't wait to find out
- 16:31Speaker 2: if that mask man has showed up yet.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Look, I told you he wouldn't show up, didn't I?
- 16:37Speaker 4: In fact, Sleepy and Max came here to tell me
- 16:39Speaker 4: some bad news about the masked man and the Indian.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Bad news? What do you mean? Sleepy,
- 16:45Speaker 3: tell us that.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Well, Max and I were coming in from the range
- 16:48Speaker 2: when we heard shooting. Yeah, it was about a half
- 16:51Speaker 2: a mile from here.
- 16:51Speaker 3: That's right.
- 16:53Speaker 2: We headed for the place where the shots came from
- 16:55Speaker 2: and found a camp in a grove. There was a
- 16:58Speaker 2: masked man and Indian rolled up in their blankets, both dead.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Dead? Great day. We came right to the house to
- 17:05Speaker 3: tell the boss.
- 17:06Speaker 4: And he says they were the hombres you've been expecting.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Yep.
- 17:09Speaker 4: I knew it was too good to be true that
- 17:12Speaker 4: they'd be able to help us. The varmints who do
- 17:16Speaker 4: damage in the valley are mighty smart. Smarter even than
- 17:19Speaker 4: the lone rangers, it turns out. Don't say I didn't
- 17:22Speaker 4: warn you, Sam.
- 17:24Speaker 3: It sure upset all of you. Yep, sure is. Well,
- 17:28Speaker 3: so long, fellas. I'll be getting on home. Yes, sir.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Good night, Sam. We'd better steer clear of that grove
- 17:38Speaker 3: for a while. There's something else I want to do
- 17:40Speaker 3: first anyway. What's that?
- 17:43Speaker 4: Convince Sam Mullins he'd better leave the valley with the others.
- 17:48Speaker 4: We'll ride to his place first, and then we'll ride
- 17:51Speaker 4: back by the grove.
- 17:52Speaker 3: And see how things are there.
- 17:58Speaker 2: After leaving the ranch house, Sam Mullins met Toto and
- 18:00Speaker 2: the Lone Ranger and told them all that had been said.
- 18:04Speaker 3: The lone ranger spoke. Sleepy and Max must have been
- 18:07Speaker 3: the men who tried to kill us, Tonto. Ah.
- 18:09Speaker 2: This proves that Hank's Jero and his men are the
- 18:12Speaker 2: ones causing.
- 18:12Speaker 3: All the trouble in the valley. Nobody's ever believed that.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Even though I know now it must be true.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Since they want you to get the other settlers together
- 18:20Speaker 2: in the morning, I wouldn't be surprised if they cause
- 18:23Speaker 2: more trouble tonight just to impress the settlers.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Maybe they'll do something at that.
- 18:28Speaker 2: We'll watch the ranch house and bunk house tonight. They
- 18:30Speaker 2: ride out, we'll follow. Half an hour later, the Lone Ranger, Toto,
- 18:43Speaker 2: and Sam Mullins watched as three horsemen rode from the
- 18:46Speaker 2: Jarrell Ranch. The masked man and his companions were hidden
- 18:50Speaker 2: in among the trees so that they couldn't be seen,
- 18:53Speaker 2: for the moonlight was bright.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Hey, Santa will burn him up. Then he'll stop persuading
- 19:00Speaker 3: the others to stay. Get up there. Get up there.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Get up there.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Hank, Gerald must have been talking about you, Sam. And
- 19:06Speaker 5: you think they're heading for my place now?
- 19:08Speaker 3: Yes. Tonto, I'll follow. You go round up some of
- 19:11Speaker 3: the other settlers in a hurry. I sure hope we
- 19:12Speaker 3: catch them red-handed. That's the general idea. Get going, Sam. Easy, boy.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Get up there. All right, Tonto.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Now we'll follow Hank and his crooked cowpokes. It'll be
- 19:21Speaker 2: pretty easy. I'll keep an eye on them.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Come on.
- 19:37Speaker 2: The last man and Indian left their horses in the
- 19:41Speaker 2: shadows and cautiously approached the rear of.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Sam Mullen's barn, where the other three men had stopped
- 19:46Speaker 3: and dismounted. They're taking their time, Tuttle. Of course, they
- 19:50Speaker 3: know they can't be seen from the house. Ah. Them
- 19:54Speaker 3: show plain in moonlight. One father went in the barn.
- 19:58Speaker 3: The other two are waiting for him. There he comes now.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Come on, Toto, this is the showdown.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Cautiously, the masked man and Indian eased around the corner.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Of the barn with guns ready. Then the Lone Ranger
- 20:31Speaker 3: spoke sharply. Reach all of you and pass. Holy smoke,
- 20:34Speaker 3: what's the matter, man?
- 20:35Speaker 5: What is that?
- 20:36Speaker 3: You can't be new fools. You slipped up somewhere. Get
- 20:39Speaker 3: him down. Fire.
- 20:40Speaker 2: The Lone Ranger and Tonto were properly protected by the
- 20:47Speaker 2: corner of the building as the bullets from Sleepy and
- 20:50Speaker 2: Max's guns flied toward them. The two crooks ran toward
- 20:53Speaker 2: the open barn door as they fired.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Several more minutes went by.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Then the lone ranger and Tonto cautiously moved around the
- 21:03Speaker 2: corner of the barn and.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Approached the doorway. Just as Sleepy's hand appeared holding a gun.
- 21:08Speaker 3: You're through! I give up!
- 21:11Speaker 2: Tonto quickly moved forward and picked up the guns the
- 21:14Speaker 2: crooks had dropped. It was then that Sam Mullins, who
- 21:16Speaker 2: had gone to round up the settlers, approached the scene
- 21:19Speaker 2: with several men. Here come the settlers, Tonto. Turn these
- 21:22Speaker 2: crooks over to them to take to jail.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Go, go, go! Help, help us. Run down these uplifts. Wait,
- 21:28Speaker 3: don't listen to him. You all right, mister? Yes, sir. Me, me.
- 21:33Speaker 3: That man's been an Indian of the ones who caused
- 21:35Speaker 3: all the trouble. Yeah, I know Savioli. Looks like he
- 21:38Speaker 3: wounded Hank.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Man, I told you what you'd find here. I know
- 21:43Speaker 5: for a fact that Hank Jarrell and those two cowpokes
- 21:45Speaker 5: of his, Sleepy and Max, are to blame.
- 21:47Speaker 3: For all that's happened. But why would Hank do that?
- 21:49Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a fire at his place once. Hank
- 21:52Speaker 2: Jarrell wants to see all of you leave this valley.
- 21:55Speaker 2: That's why he and his men created terror among you.
- 21:58Speaker 3: A fire at his place would throw off suspicion.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Sam Mullins told him Todd and I might come here
- 22:04Speaker 2: to help you. Hank acted as if he wanted us
- 22:07Speaker 2: to come.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Well, he did.
- 22:09Speaker 2: But only so that he and his gunmen could murder us.
- 22:13Speaker 2: They tried that but failed. And I'm sure now they
- 22:16Speaker 2: tried to ambush us this morning.
- 22:17Speaker 3: You can't prove that, mister.
- 22:19Speaker 2: You were the only man who knew where we were camping.
- 22:22Speaker 2: They spread kerosene on the side of Sam's barn a
- 22:25Speaker 2: while ago. They were about to set it afire when
- 22:28Speaker 2: we interfered.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Sleepy and Max will go to jail for attempted murder.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Hey, you can't do that to us. We work for
- 22:35Speaker 3: Hank Jarrell. We do what we're told. He always told
- 22:37Speaker 3: us what trouble to start. That's right. Hank wanted the
- 22:40Speaker 3: settlers to get out. Shut up, you fools.
- 22:42Speaker 5: I reckon you've heard enough, men. We sure have, Sam.
- 22:45Speaker 5: By this time, we'll take the three of them to
- 22:47Speaker 5: the sheriff and tell them everything.
- 22:48Speaker 2: There are enough of you to take charge of these men.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Otto and I are glad you've been of help. We'll
- 22:54Speaker 2: leave now, knowing that Green Valley is no longer a
- 22:57Speaker 2: valley of terror.
- 22:57Speaker 3: That's right. Adios, everybody. Adios. Thank you. Well, we'll bandage
- 23:05Speaker 3: your wounds and take you to town, Hank.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Remember what you said about the varmints who caused the
- 23:11Speaker 2: trouble in the valley.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Being smarter even than the Lone Ranger?
- 23:18Speaker 2: Well, it looks like you have to take that back now, huh, fellas?
- 23:21Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Pam. Is that who the Masked Man is?
- 23:26Speaker 1: Yep.
- 23:27Speaker 3: That's who he is, all right. Well, I'll be doggone.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Imagine that. The Lone Ranger. THE END.
