What happens

On the Red Horse Ranch, Dewey, the young son of the late outlaw Trigger Dawson, refuses to open the small locket his father gave him before he died. Alabama and the other hands believe two of Dawson's old gang, who escaped from the Roaring River Jail, are trying to take the locket from him. The ranch hands, including Bob, talk about the locket and trade tall tales in the bunkhouse, while Alabama urges Dewey to let them see what is inside. Dewey finally agrees to open it, and inside they find a folded piece of paper that turns out to be a map of the Roaring River country.

The Red Horse Ranch, its bunkhouse and ranch house, and the surrounding country near the Roaring River.

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.
