What happens

J.B. Kendall, an English newspaper correspondent, is traveling by stagecoach near Laramie, Wyoming when six armed bandits stop the coach and rob the passengers. One of the outlaws is shot dead by a fellow passenger, and Sheriff Arthur Harper promises Kendall that the stolen valuables—including five thousand dollars in gold and twenty dollars from Kendall's wallet—will be recovered by nightfall.

A stagecoach on the road west of Laramie, Wyoming Territory, and the sheriff's office in Laramie.

Characters: J.B. Kendall, Sheriff Arthur Harper, Clem, Harper's deputy, The stage driver, Judge (fellow passenger), Mr. Barnaby, Six bandits, one killed

Listen for: The tension of the stagecoach robbery, the mysterious death of the bandit leader, and the sheriff's confident promises to recover the stolen goods and clean up the territory.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
