What happens
Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles are camping in the woods when a swinging mirror flashes sunlight in a pattern that Bill reads as a message. Before they can make sense of it, they are held up by a rider named Dan Belcher, who accuses them of robbing a stagecoach and takes them to the stage line's office. Bill's quick thinking sets the story's events in motion as the two lawmen try to work out who is behind the trouble between the railroad and the stage line.

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.
