What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles escort a mail stage toward Bear River when three masked road agents attack and are stopped. Among the passengers is Albert J. Morgan, a retired Philadelphia businessman who has answered an advertisement promising a peaceful life at the Sunset Trail ranch run by Big Ben Bogart. Hickok grows suspicious of Bogart's arrangement and its terms, and he sets out to learn what is really happening at the ranch. Guy Madison plays Hickok and Andy Devine plays Jingles in this Wild Bill Hickok radio adventure, which begins with a 1952 broadcast on March 14.

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.
