What happens

Bill sets out across the burning sand to search for him, and the rangers face the dangers of the desert. The episode is part of the Ranger Bill series and aired on May 16, 1954.

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.
