The National Broadcasting Company presents Joel McRae in Tales of the Texas Rangers.

From Hollywood, another authentic reenactment of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers.

Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCray is Ranger Jay

Jason. Texas more than 260,000 square miles and 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement body

in North America. Now from the files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact. Only names,

dates and places are fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record.

Case for tonight, death plan.

It is 11 o'clock on the night of September 18th, 1946.

14 miles east of Pembroke, Texas on state route 70 stands the first

community church. Each Wednesday night members of the congregation have been

donating their services to the construction of a recreation hall. The evening's work is just over.

And Tom Peters, a farmer, stands in the parking area,

waiting for his wife to catch up to him.

Shelby!

All right!

And don't forget, Mrs. Sweetie. We can make the flour and be sure you plan this first with a couple of tables.

Shelby! You're going to stand there or join the whole night?

Oh, right! Oh, that man.

I got no more patience than a pull in fly time.

I call you tomorrow.

What makes you always in such a hurry?

Somebody in this family is going to be in a hurry.
