Anne's come back from town She's driving mighty fast She always does Someday that buggy's gonna fall apart There's a cowboy riding beside her Yeah Don't look like any of our boys Matt, I shouldn't have let her go into town alone on a Saturday She looks hailing hearty to me All that bar C crowd roaming the streets with nobody to keep them in line It's a sin and a shame, that's what it is Now, don't get yourself riled up, Jane Whoa, Beth Whoa, girl, whoa Anne, are you all right? I'm fine, Ma What's her name? Bob Turner Oh, I'm Anne Davis I want you to meet my ma and pa Howdy This is Bob Turner I'm pleased to meet you The same He's been working for the bar C The bar C Get off of this porch, you ordinary low girl Now, listen to the girl, Jane This boy may have worked for the bar C But he don't wear the brand on his face Red Dixon got smart Just as I was coming out of the store And Bob put him in his place It means he's lost his job Can't we find a place for him here, Paul? How do you put Red in his place? That's what I want to know You knocked him down and then showed up his draw Yippee! I'm looking for him Oh, no, I wouldn't ask for that, Mr. Davis Matter of fact, I don't know whether I can take the job or not You don't mean to say you're going to take Red's advice And hightail it out of the county I reckon not, Miss Ann Then you've got to find a job someplace Yeah But first, there's a little business I'll have to attend to I'm going to take myself a ride up in the hills And afterwards, well, if it's all right, I'll be glad to go to work I, uh, I apologize for what I called you, young man Well, that's all right, ma'am What's up in the hills? Why are you going up there? Nah, never mind, Ann All we care about is when's you coming back My business shouldn't take long I'll be back by nightfall Well, try to make it in time for supper I will Adios Adios Pa What, Ann? I can't help thinking there's outlaws up in the hills Got any doubts about Bob? Not from looking at his face I can't always tell by that, though Get up there, Chief Ann's right Handsome is as handsome does The Lone Ranger and Tonto had made their camp in the shelter of the hills above the range The rays of the sun were fading in the west and the campfire gathered brightness from the dusk A faint sound and the masked man was on his feet He waited, alert, watchful Then, unmistakably, the sound of hoop beats reached his ears Tonto walked to his side Somebody ride this way Bob, Tonto I didn't expect him so soon Howdy, masked man Hello, Bob Hello, Tonto Hi What happened? Weren't you able to get a job? Well, that part of it was easy I landed the day before yesterday They'll take on anybody who can handle a gun Did you ever talk with Calvert? No And what Dixon told me You're expected to work around the place a couple of weeks before you even see him I guess I won't have the chance Why not? Well, I got myself fired today Red forgot his manners with a young lady in town Well, I just couldn't stand by, masked man Of course not Her name was Davis And her pa's offered me a job Shall I take it? It might be a good idea But what about the bar C? You said they'd hire anyone who can handle a gun Oh, not you Just one look at Silver You can't wear your mask Tonto can fix up a disguise And I can ride scout If they ever found out All I want is a talk with Calvert After that, we can make our plans I'll take the job with Davis Yes Next to Calvert, he has the biggest spread in the county I believe that's where they'll strike next It was long after dark And Bob had not returned to the Davis ranch Anne said very little When both her mother and father realized The girl was disappointed The three of them had decided in silence They would never see the young cow hand again Then... Of course it's our time, Paul There's more than one Can't be Bob Joe and Harry might have rode up from the bunkhouse I'll open it Judd Calvert I'm here too, sister And Red, what do you want? We came to see you, Paul You ain't welcome here, Calvert Arrest him, Sheriff Sure thing You're under arrest on the name of the law Just look at that face It's pitiful You trying to figure out what the charge is, Davis? I haven't broke any law Right There ain't any charge either But if I wanted to throw you in jail There wouldn't have to be one That's the way things stand in Sherman County And the sooner you realize it, the better You dirty lawyer Now, now, don't, Paul What are you here for? Well, you get down to business right away, huh? That suits me I've decided to take over this ranch You've decided what?

Don't you want to marry the boss? I'd rather die We could arrange that, too Shut up That's the way things stand, Davis I want your ranch And I want your daughter I mean to have him Over my dead body Don't say things like that Red might take you serious There's a law in this state Even if there isn't in the county I'll get the governor to send troops here You and your gunman are nothing but a gang of outlaws You said that before I'll say it again And we'll see what the governor says After I get finished talking to him If you tried it, Matt If you even started for the capital You wouldn't get ten miles You and your wife and your daughter are prisoners We aren't going to let you move out of the county And we aren't going to let you keep this ranch The wedding takes place next Saturday Come on, Red Hey, Scott Is that Davis heading in the doorway? Yeah, he's right Get foot on the ground And I'll fill you full of lead He's got a rifle It's Turner, Mr. Davis Oh, I thought it was Judd and Red come back They've been here? Yeah Judd wanted to break the news That he was going to marry Anne And take over the ranch If he's so much to set foot on my land again I'll shoot him for a trespasser He might want you to try something like that Yes Who's the big fellow with you, Bob?

Right here Come on, Scout The other crew around The bunkhouse is dark There's someone inside here Huh? I want to see Calvert Oh, yeah? Is he here?

Oh, you shot it out of my hand This is the second time today Somebody's outdrawn you And that's bad for a man With your reputation, Red You ought to keep in better practice Go on, take the gun Try it again Get him along What's that? I suppose this exhibition Was for my benefit Are you Calvert? Yes My business is with you And not with your hired help Are you ready to talk to me? What's your name? Why don't you pick out one for me? Yeah You might just as well It'd save me the trouble And you'd be sure to remember it That suits me Come on in, Trigger We'll have a talk Right into the office That's the idea There's a gun in your back, mister Reach for the ceiling Pronto The curtain falls on the first act Of our Lone Ranger story Before the next exciting scenes Please permit us to pause For just a few moments Now to continue our story As the Lone Ranger Without his mask But wearing a disguise Walked into Judd Calvert's office The rancher stuck a gun in his back And ordered him to reach You feel the gun, Trigger? I'm not blind Blind? There's a mirror on that wall ahead I, uh I saw you go for it Why did you do something about it? Why should I?

Just about the coolest customer I ever met Sit down Your desk all right? It's fine Let's have it Why are you here? You're smart, Judd You ought to be able to figure that out For yourself What a job That depends How big is it? As big as Sherman County You don't own it all? Not yet But I will Are you going to stop there? I'm the one who should be asking questions There's a lot I have to find out You haven't got the Davis spread yet Or the circle dot Or the flying W Now if they were to get together Let them try If they do They could use men They might pay more than you You're aching for range war Aren't you? I had a little experience You're too big for Billy the Kid It won't do you any good to guess I uh I brought up money, Judd I'll tell you this I got more money back of me Than you can imagine How does that sound? Sound logical I figured you must have More than you can imagine What's your answer? I'll think it over Yes or no, right now Would you mind handing back my guns? You win, Trigger Yeah I could use you No sense of starting off on the wrong foot What'll I hear from you? Tonight Good The same door I came in? You didn't leave your horse out in back, did you? No I'll see you soon, Calvert Tell Red to come in here The only trouble would be in handling them They've got enough brains for it to own So you're in the kitchen Torlach Yeah What are you doing here? Just checking up Who's that hombre just left? A gunman A good man I think I can use him He might even make a good member of the legion I'll be the one to decide that Ah, look here, Torlach I'm running this county I'm doing a good job There's a new need for you to come snooping around There's a report to make to the leader I'll do it myself Direct You don't sound as if you were glad to see me I say, get out of here And let me run things my own way A man's gonna slap me in the face No I could make you crawl on your hands and knees If I wanted to Stand right where you are I did Torlach A man can stand so much and that's all You want to run things your own way, eh? I didn't mean anything You want me to get out of here No, no Sure you do And I can understand why What gave you the idea It was part of our plan For you to marry the Davis girl? That red, I... You're what? You wouldn't want him to keep any secrets from me Would you, Jud? No, of course not Listen, you That man who was just in here How much did you tell him? Enough to get him interested That you were gonna grab every ranch in the county? Yeah I sort of hinted we might even go farther Your plans will have to be changed Get all your men together You're gonna have to burn out all those ranches tonight Or you'll never get away with it What's that? You've talked too much No, I haven't Not to him He's gonna tie in with us He promised to give me his answer tonight He has, you fool Yeah He left it here on the desk A silver bullet That was the Lone Ranger He must have it I'll change the silver, Tonto I'm saddled already With my mask Here Calvert will go into action tonight I want you to ride to that hill overlooking the ranch When you see which way he and his men are heading Get to the Davis ranch as fast as you can Come on, silver Mask man You got out of there safe I left a calling card behind Calvert will strike tonight Tonight? Have you explained everything to Davis? He sure has You stay here and get your men ready for a fight What about me? Come on Is your horse saddled? Yep Just around the side of the house You're heading for the circle dot Round up all the men and lead them back here Tonto will bring us warning when they start out from the Bar C Where are you going? You got the flying W crew That's too far You can't get there in time Silver can make it Come on, boy Get up there As the Lone Ranger and Bob Turner raced through cross country Red Dixon slid from the saddle in front of the cafe in town And banged his way through the swinging doors Bar C All of you, Bar C Get into your saddles Judd Calvert's waiting for us out at the ranch Tonight's the night And tomorrow the whole county belongs to us The Davis ranch was dark But inside the living room Anne and her mother sat close to the window I don't like this waiting Wish your pa hadn't been so positive about not lighting a lamp I could darn some socks You just think you could Oh, I'm not nervous With the Lone Ranger on our side, we can't lose Where is he, though? You heard what your pa said Masked man sent Bob to the circle dot And he's getting the men from the flying W I can see Chet Crowder Circle dot Yeah, and Bob's come back That gives us about 30 men Oh, Judd's got 50 It's a long way to the flying W Don't think about it, child All we can do is hope and pray It was long after midnight Matt's men and the circle dot crew waited near the corral The night was peaceful But the men talked in nervous whispers At last, from a distance, came the hoop beats of a single horse What do you think, Bob? Maybe the masked man decided not to go all the way to the flying W after all We could use the men I'd rather do without them than do without the Lone Ranger Oh, it ain't him That's a pain He was riding the white stallion when he left here But it's Tonto Last friend not here No, not yet What about it? Them come from Barcy Them come here Well, Matt, you mind if I give the orders? You're welcome I'm not much of a fighting man I guess the only thing to do is to surround the house and open fire when they get within range They're Lone Ranger now Coming like the wind There's men with him, he got them Now we're fighting even, Matt It's still gonna be a fight They're on their way, masked man We figured we'd surround the house They're coming here, Tonto Then they'll have to pass between Richmond Hill and Burnside There isn't much of an opening That's right We'll split our force half on each hill When they get to the pass, we'll charge down on them Take them by surprise That's the idea But we'll have to get to the pass first Come on, Silver Follow the Lone Ranger Let me get this straight, Chud We set fire to the buildings first Yeah Then when they come running out, we shoot them down That's it It's you to kill Pass it with long You see the range? We get through the pass, men Remember Shoot to kill Wipe them out to the last man What the... It's the Air Force That's the Lone Ranger Come on, Silver The honest ranchers swept down the hillside Before the Barcy gunmen could rain up and turn to face them They were completely surrounded They tumbled from their horses Fought for cover Desperately they fought back With the surprise of the attack And the withering fire from the ranchers Guns put an end to the battle in less than ten minutes Calvert's men threw down their guns And shouted their surrender to the sky Hold it on, boys Drop them good Here's Calvert I can answer for him, Bob I saw the black girl on his wrist tonight What about it? Take a look at Red's Yeah It's here The others can go to jail You'll have to take these two to St. Louis I understand I'm sorry I can't tell you more Just turn them over to Colonel Hayden of the Intelligence Department That's all right, Maskman You got your orders, now I've got mine You can't hold this Why not? Red's the sheriff in this county You can't hold this without taking the law in your own hands I never like to do that, Judd And that's why Bob's here Meet the United States Marshal from Laramie What the... You mean Bob Tuners? Yeah United States Marshal from Laramie Here, shake hands with these handcuffs Just one thing more, Judd When I left the ranch, I saw a red sorrel tied near the corral None of your men are riding it Torlock rides sorrel Yes, Tonto Have you seen him tonight, Judd? No Well, you haven't seen Torlock for months That sorrel belongs to me Judd? Yeah He was there Why, you double-crosser What about him? If he ordered us out here tonight, he knew we'd get this Is he still at the ranch? No Which way did he go? South To Salt Lake No It was west of the Yellowstone And I hope you'll get him We'll certainly try Come on, Tonto Tonto ready Get him up, Scout The Lone Ranger and Tonto galloped into the night But not trusting Calvert completely Their first stop was the Bar C Ranch Tonto found the tracks of a single horse heading west And then Silver and Scout were urged to their greatest speed as they followed the trail It was dawn before they reached the river At noon, the masked man and the Indian found themselves in the great basin of the hot springs Columns of steam arose on every side And suddenly, the Lone Ranger raised his arm and a signal to stop Oh, what do you see, Kimo Sabe? I'm not sure that I saw anything Look up at the top of the rise To the north Ah, plenty of big hot spring there The wind's from the south Every now and then it blows the steam away It looks like There Ah, Tonto see Two men standing at the edge of the spring That's right We go close, find out who men are This is government land They might be soldiers It would be hard to explain my mask Ah But from here, we can't be sure We'll have to take the chance and get a little closer Kimo Sabe Them start fight One of them's so much smaller than the other He could be a boy Maybe him fall in spring That's more than a hot spring, Tonto The steam's shooting up higher and higher It's a geyser Getting ready to erupt We ride fast, warn them It's more than a fight, Tonto It's murder Come on, Silver Get him up, town Fire on Silver Fire You have just heard Is a copyrighted feature Of the Lone Ranger Incorporated
