What happens

The boys of the Red Horse Ranch, Alabama, Dewey, Cheyenne and Idaho, ride along a rocky trail above Roaring River in search of the rest of a mysterious map. A secret writing on Dewey's locket told them the missing part lies in an Indian mound atop a lookout point. Too steep for horses, the trail forces them to camp below the cliff and climb on foot after supper. Their evening is filled with singing, and Alabama urges the crew onward before dark. At the top they find the mound already dug open, the earth still fresh, showing that someone reached it within the last day. The boys are left wondering who got there first.

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.
