What happens
Bill Jones, an old prospector known as Lightnin, becomes a friend to John Marvin, a young man who has lost timber and land through a swindler. Marvin soon learns that the lawyer Raymond Thomas has been cheating the Jones family of their hotel, which lies on the California-Nevada state line. Lightnin's wife Mary Jones is persuaded to sell, and Marvin must find a way to protect the family while dealing with the law and the court. The episode is part of Screen Guild Theater, first broadcast on June 3, 1946, and stars Harry Davenport as Lightnin, with Florence Bates, Barbara Britton and George Murphy in the cast.

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.
