What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles investigate a payroll robbery on a railroad line in Badwater County. Mail clerk Jim and the sheriff were held up and the payroll box taken, and the angry construction crew blames the sheriff. Bill and Jingles find a voice-impersonating outlaw is behind the crime, and they set a trap by sending a special train carrying what seems to be gold. The Wild Bill Hickok series aired this episode on May 21, 1952, with Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles. The episode ends with Bill and Jingles pursuing the outlaws.

Listen for: Pay attention to the voice imitation: the robber sounds exactly like Matt Webster, and the sheriff is fooled by 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.
