What happens

Clark Kent and Tumbleweed Jones are trying to solve the mystery of the Silver Arrows in the ghost town of Dead Man's Gulch. After the old prospector Hopeful Jake is struck by a silver arrow, the group tends to him at Tumbleweed's ranch house while Mary Lewis and Jimmy keep watch. Later the group decodes a message written on another silver arrow, which leads them to a spot near a cave. Clark and Jimmy go inside the cave, where they make an unexpected discovery, while Tumbleweed and Mary go back to town for a pickaxe. Jimmy then stares at an old picture on a wall that seems to have moving eyes.

A ranch house and a ghost town called Dead Man's Gulch, including a cave of buffalo bones, in the American Old West.

Characters: Clark Kent, Tumbleweed Jones, Jimmy, Mary Lewis, Hopeful Jake, Dr. Mallory

Listen for: The silver arrow message that points to the cave, and the discovery Clark and Jimmy make inside it.

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.
