What happens
Ranger Bill tells a story about Alexander Bartholomew, a wealthy industrialist who believes money can buy anything he wants. Bartholomew catches a young boy, Eddie Cromwell, trespassing on his land while chasing a large trout he calls Mr. Foxy. Eddie is honest and fond of fishing, and the two become friends over a day of fishing and a shared meal. Bartholomew begins to see that Eddie has something money cannot buy. This is the Ranger Bill radio series, first broadcast on 2 July 1958.
A wealthy man's estate with a stream and bridge, a fishing pool, and a company office, in the countryside.
Characters: Alexander Bartholomew, Eddie Cromwell, Bill Jefferson, Charles, Frank, Herbert, Neil Paulson
Listen for: Eddie's honest, cheerful manner with the wealthy Mr. Bartholomew, and the fishing scenes with Mr. Foxy.
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.
