What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles ride to the border town of Desert Hole after their old friend Sheriff Glenn Stillwell asks for help. They find the sheriff dead, shot in the back, with a single word written on a slip of paper beside him. The lawmen suspect the sheriff's son, Tom Stillwell, after a bitter quarrel between father and son. Bill and Jingles track down suspects in the town, while a judge presides over the local court. This episode of the Wild Bill Hickok series, broadcast on March 13, 1953, stars Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles.

Listen for: The sheriff's dying clue written on paper, and the lawmen's questions about the judge's identity.
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.
