A cloud of dust and a hearty hideous, too. Faithful Indian companion, Tonto. Turn with us now to those thrilling biggest battles. Vicious outlaws. Meshwan was a leader in his old... If any of you don't like the notion of taking my... Now to get on with it. There's three fellas who've been raising cane with us. The three we know about for sure. Lately, I've heard there's a chance of... But now, look. Gunner's gone. Turk Rigby. Red Camp. Laramie and Mendoza. Boys, that ain't the worst. Two months ago, we had this part of the country in the hollow of our hand. There wasn't nobody. There wasn't nobody inside the lower out dared to open his mouth against us. Except in grand. Not even the sheriff. But now, because we've had some tough luck, they're feeling their oats and they're raring to go. Boys, we're sitting on blasting powder. Well, there's just one answer to that, fellas. Either we get things under control again, or we're through. What's the big boss say? Yeah, to show folks around here just who is boss. How? By striking hard, fast, and often. Meaning? I mean that until things are back like they was, we're letting everything else go. Now, each one of us has been after all the cash you can get. Well, from now on, that'll come second. Some of us have had one kind of work to do, some of us another. But now we all got just the same job. And that does... Round up your men. See to your horses and guns. Starting tomorrow, we smash. We're fighting our way back. They come during the night and never give us no warning. Busted in the door, shot down Sam when he weren't even armed. You're to blame for that, Mr. Graham. Why couldn't you leave good enough alone? Why'd you have to call the Lone Ranger and Tondo and Arizona Lawson here? If you hadn't done that, them outlaws would have left us alone. Mrs. Lawson, please sit down. I won't sit down in your house. You're tired and overwrought. Ain't I got a right with my husband killed and my home burnt down? Isn't that all the more reason for me to continue the work I've started? Would you want me to stop while killers and thieves can still do such things around Spanish flats? We were so happy. You still have your son? I had two boys once. There, you see? Wasn't it Gunner who murdered Ted? Yes. But that was before I even started this fight. Doesn't that prove you can't be sure of life? Even if you do sit back and let these thieves have their own way. Men, good men, honest men, lost their lives. Lost their lives when not a one of us had the courage to fight for decency and law. But the things those crooks have done these last two days, why, there's never been anything like it. Because they're desperate. They know they're being defeated. We wasn't the only ones burnt out. I couldn't name you a dozen. I know, I've heard. No, Sam, we're the only ones shot. No, nor is it likely we've seen the end of this. If anything, conditions will get worse before they're better again. But we must recognize that fact and face it. My friends and I have made a good start, Mrs. Larson. It'd be a shame to stop now. Won't nobody help you? We've had almost no help anyhow. You almost had them fooled. You almost had folks thinking they could battle them outlaws and not be made to suffer for it. But they won't be fooled like that again. You've talked to the people around? I have. And they feel as you do? They do. Then I'm sorry. But it doesn't alter things. Panto and Arizona and I hoped that finally we'd arouse all of you to the point where you'd have the courage to fight for yourselves. Well, but if you haven't, well, we'll just have to carry on alone. Mr. Graham. Yes? Ted's gone. And Sam's gone. All that's left to me now is my boy, Frank. A good boy, too. But I warn you. If anything should happen to him and it's on account of this war you started, I'll say that you're punished if it's the last thing I do. If anything does happen to Frank... Well? ...the blame will not be ours, but on the outlaws who made this war necessary. Well, that's what I come to say, and you needn't think I don't mean it. Very well, but I... What's the idea of... All right, here we are. Get in there. You needn't push me. Come on, Donald. What's this, Arizona? Graham, we found Miss Omri hiding in a straw stack. Half the place where he'd work had been burned down. Said he heard the crooks had done it, making some more plans. But wouldn't tell us nothing until he'd seen you. Mister, you're here. Now you'd better open up before I go to work on you. I ain't telling nothing until I know I ain't going to be harmed by it. You can't make me tell. What is it, man? Out with it. You promise they won't get me, Mr. Graham? You'll give me your word? No one will touch you. If you know anything, tell it. Tonight? Well? Just about sundown, I mean... Oh, God, quit your sword. You let go. Leave him alone, Arizona. He's frightened enough now. Go on, man. Hey, they're going to raid Mr. Mander's place. Oh, poor man. You know that for a fact. It's the truth, Mr. Graham. I swear it is. Heard them crooks talking. They didn't know I was anywhere around. And you couldn't tell Arizona or Tonto? You had to wait to come here before you let us know? I never heard of them until just lately. How did I know they wouldn't get me in trouble for it? You've waited so long, we've hardly got time to get there. But I just heard... Well, Tonto, run out to the bunkhouse and get all my men. Tell them to saddle and bring their arms. All right. You go to town, Arizona, and tell the sheriff. Right. Tell him if he wants to help, fine. But if he won't, he can go to Thunder. I'll tell him plenty. Mrs. Larson, you'll have to excuse me. Well, I... And you, you'd better come, too. No, siree. You ain't going to get me to go up again, them crooks. I've done too much already. You ain't going to make me stir. Stay here, then. It doesn't matter. We need men. Hi, there. Get to the saddle. We're riding. Hey, that man is placed below us. He's not got here yet. No need to go down there, though. We wouldn't get any better reception than anywhere else. Spread out and take the cover. Those coyotes show up, wait for my signal, then let them have it. Come on, get out of sight. Come on. Get him up, Scout. Come on, boy. You stand it. Think they could have seen us ride up, Tonto. It's sundown now. Ah. I don't like to think. On the other hand, if we left and they showed up afterwards, we'd never get through bling. It might be them now. Ride fast, Dolph. Wonder who the dickens it is. Huh? You hear, Dolph? That's Wolf. Right. Arizona. Hi. This way. That's you, Graham. Over here. Hello, Minion. He's here. Where's the sheriff? What's up? Get the wolf. Oh, there. Fire, Wolf. Well, what's the new... Fellas, we've made a fine mess of it. There's trouble. Know who that gent was, gave us this tip, Graham? Never saw the fellow before. He belonged to one of them jacks. What do you mean? He told us that story of purpose. Why would he do that? They made sure we wouldn't be nowhere near Spanish Flats. Hey. And then the whole bunch hit that town and half tore it to pieces. That's bad. Frictus. Well, there you will. Tonto, without the lone rinky to do our thinking, I reckon we ain't worth the powder to blow us out of our sand. Next exciting scenes. Angry delegation. Place inside the next minute. I'll order my men to fire. Where's what we told you? Oh, this is you fellas' fault. See, they keep going, Bart. Come on inside, Arizona. You too, Tonto. Oh. Why can't they see what we're doing is for their own good? I gain by it, of course, if these outlaws are wiped out. But you, you men are accepting... Tonto, he didn't get into this fight looking for gratitude. That's right. It's hard to know whether to go on or not. The three of us can do... ...stand why if he's living and able to get around. He hasn't made contact if he could. Uh-huh. I've been wondering about the same thing. Even you ain't seen them, have you, Tonto? No, I mean... ...if they were brothers. I'm beginning to suspect the masked man who caused Laramie and Mendoza to fight wasn't the lone ranger at all. They fought over money, didn't they? Something about Laramie's supposed to send cash to Mendoza for one of their deals. And Mendoza not getting it. In other words, the whole thing could have been brought about by some outlaw who decided to appropriate that money for himself. Yeah. So you see, we have no reason for hope after all. And without the lone ranger, how can we go on when we have to fight not only those outlaws and the man behind them who does their scheming, but public opinion as well? It's plenty hard. Gosh, I don't know, but I... I'm going to be honest with you. I think... What was that? It's Wendell. Just quick. I can't help that. I'm trying to find out. What was that thrown in? Huh? Who's that? Who's that just rode away, Graham? Can you see him? Get up, Tonto. A silver. Hear a message. A silver? What? Why, that must mean... That must have been the masked man that rode away just now. He wouldn't answer when we called. Well, I'll be... Tonto, what's that message say? His mother was here this afternoon. And what'd him do? Didn't you say the kid had some kind of a job with the railroad, Graham? He's the operator and agent at Roseville. Where's that? About 40 miles northeast of Spanish Flats. It's not a town, really. Just a siding where cattle are loaded occasionally. Why? What's Frank Larson and Roseville to do with that note? Yeah. Glad to see us back. You sure you're savvy what you're doing? I kind of hate you, Packer. Leave this place. It's been a right good place to camp. Me know what me do. Well, if you say so, then... There are blankets. What we didn't do to Spanish Flats last night weren't worth doing. Town folks running around like chickens with their heads cut off. And when I think of Graham and Tonto waiting at the Mander's place half of the evening on my say-so... Well, I'd have given the millions just to see their faces when they learn the truth. Honest, I'd have given two millions. Well, you handled that all right. Didn't I, though? Yeah, so far, everything we figured on has gone through the way it was playing. We got them turning yellow again, boys. Finish the job the way we started, and they'll never make us trouble. There comes the buzzard, huh? Guess what they done when they got there. Mistakes. They're clearing out. Clearing out. Keep a guessing. They said that. Buzzard, you sure you didn't hear it because you wanted to hear it? Well, I just asked. What do you say, Dirk? Man, it was what we planned for tonight, and I reckon our job is done. Was that the dispatcher calling you, son? Uh-uh. Right now, he's talking to the operator on down the line. Oh. What train's that outside? Ma, you can ask more questions than a room full of school, Ma. Chuck, that ain't no train. Just a switch engine. Switch engine? Yeah, I've been here almost a week now. Lady J and Dick Barton's prepared have been shipping cattle. Ma, you ain't told me yet if they've caught any of them skunks at Raider Town. Marry or one. Won't either. Well, they ain't loco. What can the law do? What can any of us do again outlawed like them? Got half a dozen gangs. Got hundreds of square miles of hills and canyons to hide out in. Don't care whether they'd kill or not. In fact, they'd rather. And behind them, making their plans and giving them their orders, that boss of theirs nobody's ever been able to learn anything about. You know, son, the best thing to do is walk soft and try to keep from riling them. Well, maybe. Oh, gosh, what time's that clock say? 11.30. Oh, it's gone near midnight. And the eastbound almost pulling in the Spanish plants right now. Okay, Ma, stand aside from that telegraph, Steve. Son, what's wrong? Well, I have to get a hold of the operator there, so we've told the conductor to stop back by the side when they get here. Why, son? Because if the eastbound don't, it's going to go slap-banging at just about 50 dozen candle cards. Oh. So I've got to hurry that. Oh, what the... What's that key, young fellow, in your step leg? Well, I've got to send a message. I reckon not. But if I don't, there'll be a smash-up. Yeah. I know. The eastbound now. Keep back in the shadows. You recollect what Dirk told you? That's the train. What if it is? We ain't stern till after it's hit. Couldn't Dirk have come around? He's keeping guard over young Larson at the station. How could he? Thought maybe he might bring the kid here. Why, there's no need of it. Hear that? He's tearing right along. Yeah, it won't be long now. The station's just the other side of that line of trees. We'll hear the crash plane. Wish we could see it. You'll stay undercover till we know nothing's gone wrong. Now, shut up. Get ready, fellas. Station now. Huh? The engine ain't been hurt one bit. Hurt we? What have we heard of smash? What in thunder? What we heard? Huh? Them old flat cars they had stowing away on their stripes. Look. Which engine got behind them and shoved them off the track into that drawer? What? What? All right, fellas. And can't go. All them fellas with them. Where'd they come from? Watch around us. Watch out. We ain't got a chance. They're coming from everywhere. You can't kill. Hold your fire, fellas. They ain't gonna put up no fight. All you do, you pole cats, just try it and see what happens. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. God darn you buzzard. You said Arizona and Tonto left the county. But I heard him say that he... Just what we wanted you to hear us say. Tonto knew you was trailing us. You said that just to fool you. Wait. You... Teddy, fella. We ride. Tell train crew. And they loaded the eastbound with every tough army they had on the payroll. Was it you dirty double-crosser? I'll bet you worked with them. You fixed this up. You told them just what we was playing. No. No, I didn't. Honest fellas. I never said a word. You can't blame me. If I thought you did, buzzard, I'd shoot you down even if they got me right afterwards. No. No. Shut up. Shut up. No, gents. What's this fellow you called, buzzard, gave your game away? Well, then who was it? It was a man you ain't never laid eyes on. Even though he was spying on your camp on your scheme to do this. What? He sent us your scheme on a bullet. A bullet? A bullet of silver. Silver. And if you want to know what to call him, just say... You have just heard it.
