What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his sidekick Jingles ride to Salt River City after receiving a telegram from Sheriff T. Hurley asking for help with a gang of bank robbers. On arrival they learn the telegram was never sent by the sheriff, and someone throws a knife at Bill. Bill and Jingles investigate the town, uncovering a scheme involving a railroad payroll and a bank. The episode is an installment of the Wild Bill Hickok radio series, and this recording comes from a 1952 broadcast starring Guy Madison and Andy Devine.

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.
