What happens
Forest Ranger Bill and his assistants Stumpy, Grey Wolf and Henry investigate a series of farm raids in the Rocky Mountain foothills, where barns and orchards have been wrecked overnight. A newspaper man, Bud Brown, arrives to cover the story and soon photographs a massive animal in the forest. Their search brings a circus owner, Baxter Bigsby, to offer a capture plan, and the trail leads toward a dangerous elephant that has grown fierce and hard to track. The story is set in the Ranger Bill series, first broadcast on 1958-05-14.
The Rocky Mountain forests and farming towns of the American West, including Zephyr and Crazy Creek.

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.
