tell the guards to shoot him on sight. i can't. why not? your son johnny was on his way up here to see you just as butch broke out. he grabbed hold of him; he's got a gun on him now. johnny! what's cavendish doing to him? nothing yet. he says he wants to talk to you. i think he's got some kind of a proposition. tell him to come in. yes sir. ♪ here he is, warden. i'm sorry, dad. he grabbed me when i wasn't looking. that's alright, son. let him go, cavendish. i'm giving the orders here now, warden. you'll never get out of here alive! well if i don't, your kid won't either. i'll use this gun on him, and you know i mean it. what's your deal? i'm taking him out of her with me. you'll get him back safe and sound on one condition: that you let the rest of my gang go free. don't do it, dad! i couldn't do that if i wanted to, cavendish. your men aren't here now. they're out to the prison farm. i know that, but you let them go free and they get back

they can meet me at one of my old hideouts. how will they know which one? don't worry, they will. if they're not there by noon wednesday you'll never see this kid again. you'll never make it. your guards won't shoot. they know how crazy you are about junior here. come on, you. i'll get that cowardly rat. don't lose your head, warden, he'll kill johnny for sure. they're letting him out alright. they don't want to risk hurting the boy. what can i do hanley? you've got no choice, warden. it's the cavendish gang or johnny's life. let those outlaws free to harm innocent people? no, hanley, i can't do that! but warden... johnny! we'll have to find some other way to save him. but how? nobody but the cavendish gang knows where those hideouts are, and they'll never talk. there's someone else who knows: the man who captured the cavendish gang years ago. the lone ranger! if we could only get word to him. oh, that's impossible, warden. no one ever knows where he is. whenever a crime is committed, he knows somehow. he finds out. if he could only learn about this before it's too late.

♪ ♪ you're back eary, tonto. where are the supplies? me not get them. no time for food now. what's happened? word come through to town butch cavendish break jail. cavendish? our worst enemy. him take warden's son as hostage hold him at one of old hideouts. he say him kill boy if cavendish gang not free by noon wednesday. i know the warden is much too honest to release those outlaws even if the boy's life is at stake. we ride fast, maybe still time to save him. not a chance, tonto. cavendish had too many hideouts. he could be holding the boy at any one of them. we don't have time to check them all. if we split up we cover more ground. yes, but that's trusting too much to luck. what we do then? you ride to cavendish's closest hideout. if he isn't there go on to the next one. maybe you'll reach him before i do. but where you go? to the prison, tonto. that's the only sure way i can think of to find butch cavendish.

but what you suggest... i don't know. i realize it's risky, warden, but it's better than letting johnny die. besides, you won't be freeing the whole gang. just one man. but one is as bad as all! besides, this dooley is no fool, you know. what makes you so sure that he leads you to where cavendish is? i'll try not to let him know i'm following him. but if you get to the hideout, it's two against one. it's bad enough having cavendish at large without letting his chief henchman go too. you've got to do it, warden. not only for johnny's sake, but we must get cavendish back again. alright.

we'l risk it. you better wait in the closet. you can bring dooley in now, hanley. dooley, i'm asking you for the last time: where is cavendish hiding out with my boy? i wouldn't know but if i were to let you loose, you would know. is that it? i might. alright, dooley, you win. i'm gonna let you go. what about the rest of the gang? one at a time. i'm not gonna let you out in a group to raid the territory. alright warden. that's good enough for me. one at a time. but get this straight: if any harm comes to my boy, you and cavendish are gonna have your necks stretched. understand? sure warden, sure. i get it. alright then. on your way. not so fast. you must think i'm an awful fool. what do you mean? i know what your game is. it's a trap to catch cavendish. five minutes after i'm out of here half the guards in this place will be on my trail.

i give you my word of honor that no guard will follow you out of this prison. and what difference will it make if they did? i know where i'm going. they don't. i could lose a thousand guards by the time i reach cavendish. now, you still want to let me go? i want to save my boy at any price. ok warden, i'll go. but on my terms. i ain't trekking around the country in this outfit. i want new clothes, a horse, and a gun with bullets just in case someone should try to follow me. take him out and give him what he wants, then let him go. thanks warden,, you sure do treat us prisoners nice. he's a tough customer, warden. i hope i've done the right thing. but if he gets away for good, i'll have betrayed the honest people who put me in this job. don't worry i'll pick up his trail as soon as he leaves. but i don't trust him. he's liable to lead you on a wild goose chase. i don't think so. dooley's too sure of himself. but we've only got until noon wednesday. suppose dooley doesn't get to cavendish

by then. you've forgotten, warden, i'm not your only hope. tonto is also looking for cavendish too. he's had time to reach some of his hideouts by now. for all we know, he's already rescued johnny. if i could only believe that. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ you know kid, i was loco not to think of this idea before. now i don't have to watch both doors at once. what are you doing now? just making sure that nobody takes up by surprise. they try that door over there they're going to get an awful headache. they try this one, they're going to get a bullet in the belly. you can't scare dad into letting

your gang go free. he'll never do it. he will if he ever wants to see you again. well i guess i won't be needing these anymore. dad would be cheating the people who trust him if he let those crooks out of jail. i wouldn't want him to do it even if he could.

let him clean us out and get away. why? i don't know; i just couldn't. this is a breach of trust and looks very suspicious. either that or you're a coward, john. which is it? in any case -- if you can't protect the interests of this bank, you're not worthy of a position of trust here. but mr. prescott, my job...! you're through! get out. ♪ ♪ they trace them yet, roy? we trailed them to their hideout, but they got away. roy seems to think they're the same men that stopped you the other day. it kinda looks like you were working with them. we don't want to turn you over to the sheriff unless you've done something wrong. but you know those men. now who are they? i guess i should have told you before. i know them

as dude dalheart and cherokee tim. there's another one they call sid. they got some kind of a hold on you. yes. i killed a man once, back in kansas. my name was marideth then. how did it happen? man was responsible for the death of my sister. she killed herself. i went out of my head, i guess. i hunted him down and shot it out with him. did you stand trial for it? i was convicted of manslaughter and served ten years in prison. oh, so you're not wanted for any kind of a crime now? no. when i got out i came west. changed my name and married. i have a home, a wife, and a child. i built a good life here, until dude dalhart came along. ... and threatened to expose you as an ex-convict, huh? it would disgrace my wife and baby and tear down everything i built for them here. that explains a lot of things, john. even so, i meant to stop the hold-up, but i kept seeing the man i killed before and i couldn't shoot dude. i couldn't kill again. now they think i'm a coward... and worse. there's one way you can make up for all that, john. how? tell us where we can find dalhart

and his men. but i don't know that. even if i could help capture them, they'd still expose me. that doesn't matter now! you've paid for any crime you committed in the past. ... alright. i'll do whatever you want. but i don't know where they are. you'd better stick close to home until we get a lead on them. ♪ ♪ ♪ relax; it's only medford. mary! john, dear...! welcome home, johnny boy. john... pull up a chair; relax. ♪ ♪
