What happens
Randy Williams is made temporary foreman of a mining crew in tunnel 13, and several men resent him, especially Snyder. Randy orders the crew to proceed slowly through a sandy stretch to avoid a cave-in, and the men grow impatient. Snyder pushes against Randy's authority, leading to a fight. Later, a cave-in traps the crew, and the men must face their situation together. This is an episode of the Ranger Bill series, with an original air date of September 16, 1960.
A mine, specifically tunnel 13, with its sandy patches, abandoned shafts and lift shaft.

Listen for: The sound of blasting and digging, the crew's arguments, and the sudden noise of the cave-in.
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.
