What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles attend the annual Mesa City rodeo, where former champion Joe Walters is shot and thrown during his ride. Bill enters the contest himself, wins the five-thousand-dollar prize, and announces he will give the money to Walters, who needs it to buy a neighboring water property. Starring Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles, this 1953 Wild Bill Hickok episode, broadcast on January 30, 1953, follows the pair as they prepare for a dangerous ride to the Walters ranch and the threats that surround them.

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.
