With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the mask rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early Western United States. The stories of his strengths and courage is daring and resourcefulness of come down to us through the generations and nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesterday. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse silver. The lone ranger rides again. And the common silver. Paying for the mostly rear-wheeled. And the silver! Hooray!

3:09The lone was bright, a lone ranger and Tonto rained up in the banks of the Upper Missouri. One of the great river boats ablaze with light with steeling past. And faintly, bellow the solid battle wheels, the masked man of the Indian could hear music singing on board that's a David Crockett chemo subbing captain weather is a skipper stay inside up here with 300 people music and dancing on board nothing good for us on either side of the river you must go head to bed bank on the file of noted business maybe a sand bar in the middle counterthink maybe then tie up here possible both usually keep going in the moves about as this though you're right I see the minima lower deck getting ready with the lines and it's not good place to tie up then the Indian round here not good Indian looks like a fight going on what you mean with a game clank you've got a

4:11little closer and find out what it's about come off the scum the steamboat slowly steamed into the wooded cold then the engines were cut as she knows the bank near the gang blank on the lower deck captain weather base stood beside two young men well dressed in four coats and blowered westings they were objecting sprenuous live with the captain cut them short with the gestures he turned at the deck they passed all the lines I asked him for now down with the gang playing they are kids this is where you get all you can't do this does captain and I I can do anything I want aboard my own boat that forced out there I was going to find a way through it all the river we have many horses and what about him here now look captain listen to the reason for the rule is that there's no gambling on the David Crockett the science posted all over all right we'll give you our words that it won't happen again there's only a way I can one way I can be

5:11sure of that we gave back the money we want yes and I gave you back your passage money all of it I get moving down that gang plank or I'll have to always give you a lift captain what's the last time Greg we have no choice oh well we've been in worse spots I'm ready this will be a lesson to every professional gambler on the river from now on they'll stay clear with the David Crockett stand by the care of the men start to walk now yes Kimosubby captain wasn't as hard on them as he pretended to be Irish landing is less than two miles up the river that place where wood cutters land the old parish is brother ed they have plenty of horses and those gamblers can buy some maybe them wait for next boat there won't be another one heading upstream for a week I think they'll buy horses maybe

6:14so we'll follow them Tato not close enough to be seen just in case or Indians around two young gamblers found only one of the parish brothers at the landing he gladly offered them a bed for the night in the morning they woke up to find breakfast ready on the table and after they had eaten their hosts sold them two horses and all the supplies they needed when the transaction was completed here they are gents the road in the Bay Hall saddle ready to go well we owe you two horses two saddles supplies three hundred and fifty dollars what about putting us up last night how's it going to charge for that I should say not that was a pleasure with that up at Fort Benton it gets mighty lonely around here I was glad to have you company three hundred and fifty dollars you say and here's my here is mine oh look deck of cards carry your own usually but they don't

7:20belong in my pocket say I've got an idea do you like to take a chance bill sometimes what do you say we cut for the horses double or nothing I like to take a chance all right fine fine supple the car to wait a minute somehow I don't think there'd be much chance connected with that deal what do you mean that's what it said I'll be satisfied with the three hundred and fifty listen Mr. you know I didn't say a word maybe it better take a look at this note hmm where'd you get this if somebody slipped it under the door during the light who wrote it how should I know what's it say don't gamble with your guests you lose it sounds like a friendly warning to me so if you don't mind right here here's your money you'll find out you'll find out get up get up and you know bill had suggested that instead of following the banks of the winding river they

8:20take the forest trail so Greg and silk headed straight west the trail was wide but the great trees met overhead and even at noon they rode through shadows silk became a little worried you think we've made a mistake how by not sticking to the river you heard what Mary said this trail to the floor saved us a couple hundred miles and there's no chance of missing it it's practically a road not to travel wagon tracks we've been following could have been made later in yesterday might have been today even so Greg the forest is awfully sick around here and parry shadow admit there were Indians a horse is a good we came out truth and we can outrun them maybe I only wish we'd say here who who who who that shot wasn't far away you're telling me more no maybe the wagon's just up ahead of us one of the men could have taken a shot of it here here they see no it isn't which way do we ride we hit the back trailer do we ride and see what it's about I'll flip a coin call it heads we go on tails

9:21we played safe it's tails mm-hmm well let's go on anyway you know you know come on ahead of them on the trail a covered wagon had been pulled up on the seat were a middle-aged woman and a sixteen-year-old boy both of them were tense waiting searching the tangled forest a boy held a rifle ready for action what about it Jimmy do you see any sign of it no more I wonder if you hit him I don't think so he didn't let out any out maybe you shouldn't have fired I had to be meant business just look at that arrow sticking in the side of the wagon we should have listened to what they told us back at planes they all we'd have had to wait a month for a wagon just the same don't get nervous more after all there is only one engine what do you say we drive on listen I hear him horses they're becoming around that bend in minutes yeah isn't the engines I don't think so thank you back in a tree from the side of those hoof feats I'd say the horses

10:23were shot most engines by a couple of travelers like us howdy whoa whoa whoa whoa Jimmy saw an engine back in the trees he shot that arrow at us that's bad there's one engine there's have to be a lot more we'd appreciate it if yours to ride away with us mister indeed we would I'm Martha Winton this is my son Jimmy we're on our way to the diggers at Alder to meet my husband how do you mean howdy I'll flip Greg we'll keep you company man but heads we go on tails we turn back to please bill it's tails well we don't want to turn back there's a long trail ahead of us all right then we'll help your horse's son we'll ride along beside you get ready to shoot here comes an engine now there's a mask man with him I don't know your life shut the gun right out of his hands tell yourself we're steady we don't have laws we're friends you listen to what master friend say there's a band of 20 engines half a mile away they're getting ready to attack you've got no chance to stand them off here if we can make the hill be on the next ride we'll have some cover they're

11:24cave and tiny hill large enough to drive the horses and wagon inside you need the way mister hold on a little party reached the cave just in time no sooner at the men taking their positions behind the rocks at the entrance and the war party burst through the cover of the forest and race toward the savages were armed for the most part with both narrows only a few had rivals and a deadly fire from the caves opening drove them back broke their courage and sent them down the trail and pull retreats when Jimmy had driven the wagon out on the trail once more the lone ranger drew the tube gamblers aside I hope you're going to ride on with Mrs. Winton or son yes I guess we were I'm glad the time you got to all you may have learned something what's that might even change your way of making a living what are you driving there just watch wrong with the way we make our living their gamblers how do you know from the way you're just for one thing another time I watch you get off the divvy pocket below parish landing you were there and this must be the army to let the note with bill
