Wes, Jack, Harry and their friends are among the local boys with 22 rifles, and a newcomer called Skinny is shut out of their club.

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.
