What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles arrive at the fairgrounds in Morton, Montana, the day before the annual quarter horse races. They meet Danny Malone, a boy who needs the $25 entry fee to race his horse Victor and save his family's ranch from foreclosure. Sam Grogan, who holds the mortgage, pulls a gun on Hickok after a clash with his son Buster. The story is part of the Wild Bill Hickok radio series, which starred Guy Madison and Andy Devine, and this episode was first broadcast on January 16, 1953.

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.
