What happens

On the Red Horse Ranch, Alabam and the boys of the Red Horse outfit ride back in high spirits after a long mission. Rose and her father Sam Carter wait at the big ranch house, eager to learn what happened. The men describe following a trail that Trigger Dawson's map pointed toward, and they report that a cache of loot was hidden in a cavern behind a waterfall on Roaring River. The boys sing and tease Rose, who is impatient for the full story. The episode closes with news that an oil company has moved onto the ranch.

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.
