What happens
Ranger Bill, Ralph Hodges and Stumpy confront a sleeping sickness outbreak in the Southern Forest District near Central City. Doctors Amos Midge and Louis LaForge and Professor Joel Morris find that the local authorities lack the spray equipment to treat the area fast enough, so Professor Morris asks Ralph Hodges for help. Ralph brings in trucks and a plane, and Bill Jefferson is called in to take command. Their work is hampered when a landowner named Cy Boone blocks the road to his property and refuses to let the crews spray it. The series Ranger Bill, first broadcast on November 23, 1955, is presented here as the episode's story unfolds.

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.
