Speaker 1: A fiery horse with the speed of lighter cloud of dust,
and a hot high o Silver, A lone ranger.
Speaker 2: An act and another at a statute on.
Speaker 1: Throughout the Western United States, the career of the mysterious
Phantom Figure of the Plains has been told and retold
until the present day. He did more than any other
individual to bring law and order to the lawless frontier.
With his great horse Silver and his faithful Indian companion Tato,
he roamed the West, fighting crime wherever he found it.
And now the thundering hoofs of Silver reckturn us to
the days of danger and adventure. The Lone Ranger rides again.
Speaker 3: Come on, Silver, we must strong follow his trouble hand
and Tout was waiting for us.
Speaker 4: Shell.
Speaker 1: As the Lone Ranger and his faithful Indian companion Tato
came to the top of a small hill, they heard
the distant tent of the the advising from the valley.
Speaker 3: Tata, that's a chance of the Indian god of war,
not ripe. Maybe we heck, look and ballet, get the
horses back out of size from case. Those Indians are

Speaker 3: Tell me that leader Geronimo, the fox huh and.
Speaker 6: Those Geronimo's men huh. It's going to be even worse
than we thought. But who are they planning to attack?
Speaker 3: There's no white settlement for.
Speaker 6: Miles it two three day travel. Perhaps they're planning war
on other Indians.
Speaker 3: No, Geronimo not do that. That's true.
Speaker 6: Geronimo doesn't want other Indians lands or crops. He wants
white men's gold and guns and liquor, and he wants scalps.
He hates white men and what the soldiers.
Speaker 3: Tato. Geronimo hates the soldiers. Maybe Tonto get closer. Look,
how can you get closer without being seen? That damp
for all Indian him call other Indian to console. Yes, Tonto, Indian, Toto,
could you go to their council and learn the plans?
Speaker 5: Tonto? Try?

Speaker 6: We can learn what those savage outlaws are planning. We
can warn the people h Tonto, get you better, run
saddle and go their bear back like the other Indians.
I'll hope you get ready, Tomosabi. Whatever you'll learn will
be of some help. If you have trouble getting away,

Speaker 3: Fenny White Honner standing there there now.
Speaker 5: Out tackle off.
Speaker 3: Good luck to you.
Speaker 4: Get him up, White Honner, get them up.
Speaker 1: The savages continued their war chance far into the night.
No one noticed Tanto as he joined the other Indians
who came from many surrounding hills in answer to the
call of Chief Geronimo. When the moon was high overhead,
the leader raised his hand the chance and dancing stopped.
Only the throb of the tom toms continued.
Speaker 3: Many time, White man drive Indian back. Many time Red

Speaker 5: Drink? Whats gun?
Speaker 4: Colored? Bad brother than rule valley? Not white solder.
Speaker 1: Canto you the plan of the savages. While they danced
and shouted, working themselves into a frenzy, he slipped away,
unnoticed and joined the masked man. Then, while his shouting
and stamping was at its peak, a familiar.
Speaker 7: Cry rang out in the night.
Speaker 1: Miles away at Fort Custer, one hundred and twenty three
men answered rule call. The next morning, the commander of
the garrison, Captain Ruddy, returned to his quarters. After the
ceremonies of the morning were finished. He turned to his
aid and said.
Speaker 7: Peterson, I think we've heard the last of those confounded redskins.
Speaker 5: I wish I could feel convinced of that.
Speaker 7: What any reason why you can't been over six weeks
since we repelled him the last time.
Speaker 5: Yes? Sure.
Speaker 7: Prior to that they raided every few days. Took quite
a lot to convince them that our guns were mightier
than their arrows.
Speaker 5: Enough, sir, the hours were worthless against the stockade.
Speaker 7: Well, then what more do you want? Declare? You're harder
to convince them the Indians.
Speaker 5: Geronimo is our leaders? Eh?
Speaker 3: What of that?
Speaker 5: And he's known as the Red Fox, and he's earned
the name because of his tricks.
Speaker 7: I think he's shown us his last trick.
Speaker 8: The food situation is getting critical, eh, Our scouts and
hunters are coming back practically empty handed? You think, I think,
if you don't mind my seeing so, the Geronimo is
planning to starve us out, the devil, and the rate
the food's coming in and the rate the supply is decreasing,
He's in a fair way to succeed Peterson.
Speaker 7: You know Geronimo better than the other soldiers, don't you.
Speaker 5: I've forty a long time, sir.
Speaker 7: Is he smart enough to think of driving all the
game from around here.
Speaker 8: He's smart enough to think of anything, and he's smart
enough to warn our guns real bad.
Speaker 7: Suppose he's in a messenger to find him and tried
to make some times of peace.
Speaker 8: He'd agreed anything, but he wouldn't keep his word. No,
not as long as he can benefit vibreaking it. Geronimo
hates white man. He hates soldiers in particular, and he
loves fighting. He's the most treacherous funk alive. I know, sir,
I've seen Geronimo in action at close rad. What's the problem.
Speaker 5: I don't know, sir.
Speaker 4: I'll go see you. I might Captain Ruddy, he's bound
to see you. A mask man, bring your commandants. I'll
talk to no one else saying there's a commandant.
Speaker 5: It's Captain Ruddy.
Speaker 6: Captain Ruddy, you in command of this garrison, hand and
you're the man I want to speak to.
Speaker 7: Captain.
Speaker 4: We done our best, but him and that engine with
him wouldn't stop. Oh hatshot artists. Yeah, but you can't
shoot a man down like that, or gods.
Speaker 3: Want to blame. He just grabbed my gun, that engine
grabbed my hand in they calm, what do you want
to speak to you alone. Who are you?
Speaker 7: Remove that mask?
Speaker 6: If you want to speak, I'll speak with a mask on.
My identity doesn't matter. I've come with news of Geronimo
snakes capture.
Speaker 4: The man removed the mask.
Speaker 3: Sand away from me.
Speaker 4: Look at them gun? Did you see him draw?
Speaker 6: Captain you want to prevent the loss every man in
your detachment, you'll listen to me.
Speaker 3: This Indian is a friend of mine.
Speaker 4: I don't care for Indians, no matter who they are.
Speaker 5: I've got to do with why.
Speaker 6: Actually, Toto had just come from a meeting of Indians
in a valet quite away from here.
Speaker 3: Geronimo is calling them together.
Speaker 5: Oh he's still making plains.
Speaker 7: Eh.
Speaker 6: I know what his plans are, and I came here
to give them to you. Captain Ruddy, you want them?
What are they coming to your quarters? I'll tell them
to you. There, Toto, you take care of my horse.
Speaker 7: Come in then he does in. Stand the door and
keep your hands on your guns. You men got the
Indian watch the two horses.
Speaker 3: That's thank you, Captain Ruddy. Down there, I prefer to
stand very well. Stand.
Speaker 7: I'll start talking. I've tried to come to you as
a friend. Then remove your mask.
Speaker 6: Geronimo is planning to attack you with men enough to
outnumber you ten to one.
Speaker 5: Let him.
Speaker 7: He's tried that before. We've been able to repunch him
each time.
Speaker 6: But this time he's coming forward and leaving his savages
a short distance away from the fort. He's going to
bring only about fifty men with him, and he'll carry
a flag of truce.
Speaker 5: Girono. Quiet, Yes, you say.
Speaker 7: Geranimo is coming here with a flag of truce.
Speaker 3: That's his plan.
Speaker 7: Not to surrender, no, or talk terms of peace, no.
Speaker 6: And what he plans to get inside your garrison with
fifty men coming here under the protection of the flag
of truce. At his signal, each man will draw a
knife from beneath his blanket. They'll attack your soldiers and
take them by surprise.
Speaker 7: Why is that smile eating the flag of truth.
Speaker 6: Yes, while your men are fighting with the fifty savages,
the gates will be opened, so the entire force of
Indians cannuttter your forts.
Speaker 7: Oh that's his planned.
Speaker 6: Knowing of it, you could, of course refuse to accept
the flag of truce, and many postpone the fight.
Speaker 7: That's bound to camp exactly and stay here until we're
starved out.
Speaker 3: Are you sure of food?
Speaker 7: Yes, we thought Geranimo was planning to starve us out.
Speaker 3: That might be his next plan if this one fails.
Speaker 7: Thank you for the information. I use my judgment in
regard to acting on it.
Speaker 6: That means you'll do one of two things. You like
knowledge the flag of truce and let yourself and your
garrison be wiped out, or you'll postpone the end. Geronimo
will have other plans. Perhaps, sir, you have a suggestion.
That's why I came here, and why do you think
I'll follow your suggestion? You come here masked, you don't
reveal your identity of Alan, which I think will end
the war against Geronimo for all time.
Speaker 5: Plan.
Speaker 3: Yes, will you listen to it?
Speaker 5: I listen.
Speaker 7: I won't agreed to accept it, However.
Speaker 6: Captain Ruddy, you're a hard man to convince. I don't
know how long you've been in the West or what
messages your scouts have brought to you.
Speaker 7: I've been in the West for a long time. Nice
scows bring me news of what happens very well.
Speaker 3: Then look at these bullets. Bullets, examine them.
Speaker 7: These are not lead.
Speaker 6: No, they're not lead, Captain Ruddy, Silver This looks like silver.
They're made of silver.
Speaker 3: Then't you?
Speaker 7: You must be I begin to understand. Suppose you outline your.
Speaker 5: Plan to me.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Captain Ruddy, Sadan, saddan and talk Peterson, Yes, sir,
leave us here alone. A longer I said, to leave
us here alone. I'm going to listen to the plan
of the Lone Ranger.
Speaker 9: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
Ranger drama. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us
to pause for just a few moments, and.
Speaker 3: Now to continue the story.
Speaker 1: The Lone Ranger and Tanto learned that a plot by
Geronimo and his savage followers to attack a garrison. The
Lone Ranger went to Captain Ruddy, commander of Fort Custer,
and persuaded him to listen to his plants. Our next
scene takes us into the garrison. Just outside the door
of Captain Ruddy's quarters. Peterson, his aide, is there with Toto.
Speaker 8: I wonder if there's any trouble in there. The Captain
your friend been talking a long time. What's the scheme
to be Indian? Un toone of no Captain Ruddy's got
a bad temper when he's riled up.
Speaker 5: Wonders there, arguing no, you don't think so, No, we're here. Uh,
how do you think we could wipe out Geronimo for good?
Speaker 3: Maybe, Captain Fixon, we.
Speaker 7: Share, Yes, sir, ask the word to have the bibbler's
on Assembly Assembly.
Speaker 5: That's the word, yes, right away, sir, that's the word
to sold assembly.
Speaker 2: Dissembly.
Speaker 4: What about the man? Yes, full of quickness?
Speaker 7: Have they hard? They bring up my horse?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 1: When the men were lined up, there were expressions of
surprise and wonder in their faces. Finally, Captain Ruddy spoke, and.
Speaker 7: We're threatened with the starvation if we remain here, if
we can drive out the outlaw savages under Geronimo for good,
we'll have no further trouble. We're going to make a
move that will accomplish one of two things. It will
either hasten our finish or make this country secure for
all time from the massacres of Geronimo and his followers.
I'm not asking you to make a voice. I have
already made it for you. We're going to leave the
garrison behind us. Better about Ruddy, Captain Cash, I'll lead
them out, putting the entire future of Fort Custer in
your hand.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Captain Ruddy.
Speaker 7: If your plan succeeds, Hungress, shall hear about it? Yes, sir,
you'll remain behind and take orders from the man who
wears the mask.
Speaker 8: But sir, yes, sir, very good, sir, your horse captain
h o, my friend, I haven't guide you.
Speaker 5: Oh I.
Speaker 3: We have to close the gates behind them, Peterson.
Speaker 5: I wonder why he left me behind, because he trusted you,
you Indian and me.
Speaker 6: Three of us and all of Geronimo's band will be
coming here very soon.
Speaker 5: Mmm.
Speaker 3: He helped close the gate and heavy heavy.
Speaker 5: Barden. Now much order?
Speaker 6: Say now, Peterson, we have nothing to do but wait
until Geronimo arrives with this false flag of truce.
Speaker 3: I don't think we'll have long to wait.
Speaker 1: In due time, the Indians rode into view at the
top of a rise a short distance away, and approached
the fort two score and ten of them with blankets
draped from their shoulders, rained in their mustangs, while Geronimo
himself rode a few paces forward carrying the flag of truce.
Speaker 4: Captain, Captain, your red brother, well.
Speaker 3: Speak of pete answerm Peterson, do you think he sees me?
Speaker 5: Yes, he's looking right at you.
Speaker 4: What do you want, Geronimo?
Speaker 7: Who comes?
Speaker 5: What do you want?
Speaker 2: I come talk of Pete?
Speaker 5: Who load? Man?
Speaker 2: Will you they come unarmed?
Speaker 5: You guarantee they don't carry weapons?
Speaker 3: I cave Ford, open gate, We come.
Speaker 4: Make terms.
Speaker 5: Shall I tell him to come in?
Speaker 8: Yes, we open the gates. Come in in single file.
Leave your horses outside. I reckon the next few minutes
to see things happen.
Speaker 5: Yes, now to get that get over to help you. Yeah,
not too Why tuddle? Just enough for one man at
a time. Stepped through. I told you what to say. Peterson, yea,
but I understand. I'll do my best, and I'll.
Speaker 3: Keep in the background.
Speaker 5: But they won't see me at first. There they come
comed in single files.
Speaker 4: Youeronimo, you first, the other's right behind you.
Speaker 5: We're gonna let you in one of the time.
Speaker 4: Understand they come. Leg of truce.
Speaker 5: That's all right. Just step right inside here, all right, to.
Speaker 7: The rest of your men.
Speaker 6: Will be admitted, just as soon as we've looked beneath
that blanket you're wearing.
Speaker 3: Me come flag of troof section Oh here here?
Speaker 6: Who all right, Geronimo, you violated the flag of truce
by coming here.
Speaker 3: We took the right to set you.
Speaker 4: At all.
Speaker 3: All right, Toddle, let the next man in you come.
Look beneath this Indian fla I've got him.
Speaker 8: Oh, here's life, all right, kin, You know what overside, Geronimo,
I'm holding a gun on you.
Speaker 6: Not a word of warning from you, Geronimo, the first outcry,
You'll die. Now at the rest of the men in
one by one, we'll find weapons beneath every one of
their blankets.
Speaker 3: One at a time.
Speaker 1: The fifty men who accompanied Geronimo were admitted through the
narrow opening.
Speaker 5: Of the gate and disarmed.
Speaker 1: The helpless and raged Indians were herded into a corner
of the garrison and held there under the guns of
the lone ranger and Peterson, the Captain's aid. Then the
gate was once more closed and barred.
Speaker 3: Now, Geronimo, we found that your flag, if truce, was meaningless.
What you do you see? There are no soldiers in
the garrison. You've come to find an enemy that doesn't exist.
You know where the soldiers are. This trick, It is
a trick. The soldiers are outside waiting for you and
all your men to surrender.
Speaker 4: Hiranamo will never surrender. The white men as to that.
Speaker 3: We shall see. Here's the white fellow. Peterson, you know
how to leave the force? Go now and join your company.
Speaker 5: Yes, but before I go, will you tell me how long.
Speaker 6: It'll be before you join the inside of five minutes
you shoot, won't be longer than that, I'm sure I'll
tell the captains.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you ready to tell them? Hommy, Ready, seronimo. There
is no food here. The soldiers are no longer in
the force. They're outside. Coronamo, kill all white men, Portrick.
You know that no one can leave the fort while
those men are outside.
Speaker 5: To prevent it.
Speaker 3: When all your men are inside, no one will be
able to leave in the face of the army guns.
Speaker 4: Karanamo cut many hundred warriors outside.
Speaker 3: But those warriors are waiting for your signal to come inside,
not kill them signal. When that signal is given, they'll
storm through the gates on the mustangs. Once sin There'll
be only one way for them to leave, and that
is by surrendering to the army.
Speaker 4: Tiranamo will never signal.
Speaker 6: You'll not need to give the signal. Get the gates open,
tunnel just a little, the brave and the wind when
they come. Ye, open now, Geronimo. He was still refused
to give the signal for your nv not killing it very.
Speaker 3: Well, then Tato will give it for you. Tuttle the
signal the battle cry of Geronimo. Quiet, listen, here they come.
They can't hear you.
Speaker 6: About the south Seranamo.
Speaker 4: Here they come into the turn.
Speaker 3: All right, tuddle, get up the lone range man.
Speaker 1: Tatoo rode out through the gates of the fort as
the savages rushed toward the Indians intent on the massacre
and the eagle feathers that would reward them, paid little
attention to the two white horses.
Speaker 3: That that's the way.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Peterson joined Captain Ruddy and the caval row.
Speaker 4: What are your report?
Speaker 5: Stay ready, Captain. The first part of the trick work.
Speaker 7: One of the mass man.
Speaker 5: He sent me out the rear gate.
Speaker 4: He's safe.
Speaker 5: I don't know, sir.
Speaker 3: If he's tapped.
Speaker 7: Inside the port. We laughed to attack. Try to rescue him, sir,
And ready in sir. The Redskins must have discovered the
trick by this time.
Speaker 5: Why don't the mask man showing show what's happened to him?
Speaker 7: He must be.
Speaker 4: There, he comes, he's gone away. Look him riding down
here he's safe, he's away from the Indian.
Speaker 5: And there's did get away.
Speaker 4: There's still saying it for you can't.
Speaker 3: Tapping Ruddy wills chatting around and hurry here, that man,
you'll get the orders.
Speaker 4: My men will bay is a canon loaded. Hey, for
the name David, the garrison for all.
Speaker 7: The savages entire.
Speaker 3: Yes, some of the attachment to guard the rear.
Speaker 7: Lieutenant Carter take charge, take the first and taking so.
Speaker 4: Will you keep those engines inside the force? Don't lest
them get out?
Speaker 1: Stroll in this way.
Speaker 4: Hey, they're opening the gate. Blow brock us up beside
the gates.
Speaker 5: Are you running a perfect shock? Right along?
Speaker 4: Try the game? They slam the gate set again. Captain Ruddy,

The lieutenant and his.
Speaker 3: Men can keep them from leaving by the rear gates.
Speaker 4: You've taken all the food from the fort.
Speaker 3: It's all with us, and you're in fool control. Those
engines will surrender or starve, and I don't care which
they do. Your husbands will be able to get fool
now and bring us to you to run alone his
