What happens
On the Red Horse Ranch, Alabama returns from a ride to a nearby bar to look into Steve Bradford, a man who has been buying up land throughout the country. The ranch hands gather for supper while they wait for Cookie to announce that Chuck is ready. Arizona boasts that he could ride Red, the wild horse Alabama has been training, and tries to prove it. The episode is the first of the Red Horse Ranch series, a western drama in which the cowboys of the ranch face new troubles and mysteries.

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.
