When he was overtaken on the trail and ordered at the point of a gun in the hands of a tough-looking man to go with him to Derek's hideout, John Meekly once more experienced a panicky feeling. As they went along the trail, John glanced hurriedly around, hoping to see some sign of a masked man and Indian, but without success. By the time he and his companion reached a deserted cabin in the hills, John was sorry he had listened to the Lone Ranger. There was nothing he could do but stop and dismount. Hurry up, Runt. Get inside and meet Derek. Look, look, I... I really didn't know where this place was. Honest. I was bluffing back there when I... Shut up and get moving. Inside. This little runt come into the cafe yapping about recognizing you when you rode away from town today. He said he knew where you were hiding out. We'll have to light out then. Maybe he told the sheriff all that, too. No, he didn't. Seems like people in town laugh at this little armory because he likes to make out he's tough and he's always getting bounced around by someone. He asked to go with the posse, but the sheriff wouldn't let him. So you knew who I was when you saw me, huh, shorty? Well, see, I... We tried to get the men at the cafe to come out here to capture you for the reward, but they laughed at him. The way he talked, though, I knew for once he wasn't putting on an act. All right, grab him, Pete. Hold his arm. I got him. Let me go. Listen. Either talk fast and tell how you found out where I was hiding and who I am, or I'll plant this big fist of mine across your mouth. Yes. Yes, I'll tell you honest. Start talking, then. It was part of a plan. Me going to the cafe and saying that. What do you mean, a plan? Well, I met two hombres, a masked man and an Indian. They said they'd been trailing you and guessed you pulled that robbery. The masked man planned for me to go to the cafe and talk like I did. A masked man and an Indian? It don't make sense. Yes, it does, you fool. That masked hombre and the Indian have been after me for some time. I'm beginning to see all this straight now. The masked man said you might have planted someone there in town. If I talked and said I knew who those outlaws were, that someone would follow me and bring me right to you. The masked man and Indian were to follow, but they crossed me up. So that's it. They were going to follow, huh? And they used you for the fall guy. Well, it's too bad you listened to that masked man, but good for us. What are you going to do, Bill? They followed me. It's our chance to get rid of that hombre. They didn't expect the half-pint to get scared and squeal like it did. So they won't know we're expecting them. Let's get outside pronto and bring that wine and little hombre with you. We'll wait in there, boys, and those two show up and fill them with lead. Then we'll give Shorty here what's coming to him. Come on, let's go. Unknown to John Meekly, when he left town, the Lone Ranger and Toto had seen him and had also seen the man Lou following. They had ridden along an arroyo which paralleled the trail and had witnessed Lou stop John. Then they followed. The Lone Ranger and Toto stayed some distance behind, relying on their ability to follow the hoof marks of the two they were trailing. When they reached the point where Lou and John had turned from the main trail to a branch trail, the Lone Ranger pulled to a halt. Hold, Silver, hold. Easy now, fella. Now, the branch trail leads into the narrow valley on the right, Toto. I suspect the hideout is there. Ah. I hope we can get there before Derek breaks down Meekly and makes him talk, Toto. Derek will want to know how Meekly got his information. You think little man tell about us? Derek will get the truth from him once he starts. John Meekly isn't a coward, but his size has always been against him and he knows it. As we ride the branch trail, I'll tell you how we'll approach the hideout so as to take them unawares. Come on, Silver! We must stop. Meantime, Derek and the other two outlaws had hidden in ambush behind some large boulders a short way up the branch trail from the cabin. They had taken John's gun and the little man stood with his hands tied behind his back between Derek and Pete. Finally, they heard hoofbeats approaching beyond a bend in the trail just a short distance away from the boulders. Well, here they come. Set your guns at the bend. The minute they appear, we'll all shoot. You won't have a chance. You'll never know what hit him. We'll settle shorty right after. All right, this is it. Come around the bend in a minute. Get set. No, you dirty crook! I won't let you ambush him! Oh, I'll send you! I'll pick that shrimp! Hey, look! A white stand-in on a paint with an empty slab. Well, I'll be... At least they can fit a bullet in the runt. Oh, I'm hit! Hold on, all of you! You're coming! Hey, they're above us on top of the boulders. Stop your gun! Stop them! They both got the drop on us! I'll get one of them! No, you're not, Doctor! No, I stopped the bullet! I give up! I give up! Come on, fellow! That sure was good work, mister! Little fellows seem to be all right. Are you hurt, John? No. No, I'm all right. I thought you forgot me. I told them about you. They made me do it. Yes, I know. But I saw what you did when you thought they were going to shoot us. You've got what it takes, John. I couldn't let them do it. But then the saddles were empty after all. Yes. We just mounted up trail a bit and sent the horses on. And we cut across to these boulders and climbed up just in time. I suspected an ambush and this was a logical place. Gosh, that sure was smart figuring, mister. We'll get their horses and we'll tie these crooks on them and take them to town. Here, I'll cut your cords. This one over here. This one. There you are. Now, get a gun. I think the people in town have a surprise coming. Let's get going. It was just about done. The sheriff and the posse had returned to town and had gone to the cafe. They were inside talking over events of the day. Well, we didn't have any luck. But we'll try again tomorrow. Hey, Sheriff, what do you think about the talking? When they say John Meekly did in here early this afternoon. I think just what the rest of you think. Poor little John was just acting up again. He heard about Derrick or read that handbill I got across the street. Just decided to tell that story. He was sure talking tough, Sheriff. Even hinted that he might go bring in Derrick all by himself. That's right, Sheriff. You should have heard him. You ought to make Meekly a deputy. Hey, Sheriff! Sheriff! You better come take a look, Prado. What's up? John Meekly's coming up the street with three ampery sides of the horses and holding a gun on them. It can't be. It's a great day. I got to see this. Come on. Oh, my God, it is meekly. Teddy, hi, Sheriff. I got a few outlaws for you to put in jail. What is this, John? How in some of you... That one there's Bill Derrick. There's a big reward for him, I understand. The money they stole from the bank is in his saddlebag. Holy smokes, Sheriff. The bank money is here in the saddlebag. John, how'd you ever do it? We thought you were just talking moco. What a man he turned out to be. Well, he may be a little man, but we got to admit he must be plenty tough to round up these outlaws. That's right. That's right. John, I'm sorry I misjudged you. You'll get the reward on Derrick, all right, and the reward from the bank, too. John Meekly, I've been hunting for you after the wild tale you told at the cafe today. Now, you get on home. Just a minute, Matty. See them three tough-looking hombres sitting there in them saddles? It's a sorry life. I see him. Your husband, John, just captured him. What's more, one of them's Derrick, one of the toughest outlaws in the territory. You say my husband captured him? You can take the sheriff's word for it that I just brought him in, Matty. What's more, I ain't going home till I'm good and ready. Well, that's the way to talk, John. Yeah, sure, I took care, John. Matty, you'll let you be boss now, a bit. Great jumping catfish. Ain't to think I ran him out this morning with a broom. Reckon I just ain't the type to get tough with a female, Matty. But every man's got limits to his temper. That's talking. Of course, John. I'll remember. Yes. Now, tell us, John, just how on earth did you do it all by yourself? Well, as a matter of fact, Sheriff, I guess I'd better tell you if it wasn't for the Lone Ranger who wouldn't be here. Lone Ranger! Man alive, John. You turned out to be so tough when you met up with those crooks that Derek thinks you're the Lone Ranger without his mask on. That's sure a hot one. Put those crooks in jail, man. I'm sick of looking at them. Get on, get on, get on. Imagine. John Meekly getting out lost to thinking he's the Lone Ranger. What do you think of that, boys? Ain't that something else?
