What happens
Ranger Bill investigates when a ski lift car stalls and then drops toward a canyon high above Naughty Pine. Red McCann operates the car, which carries skiers bound for Mile High Run, and a quarrel among the passengers leaves one man injured. The episode comes from the Ranger Bill series and aired on January 16, 1957. Rescuers arrive by helicopter and on foot to free the stranded passengers, and the efforts to bring the car down to safety form the core of the story.
A ski resort at the foot of Mile High Run near Naughty Pine, and the mountain ski lift that crosses a deep canyon called Dead Man's Gorge.
Characters: Ranger Bill, Red McCann, Calvin Moore, Candy Grace, Mr. Jackson, Martin, Gray Wolf, Henry
Listen for: The ski lift car stopping and sliding backwards, and the rescue plans that follow.
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.
