What happens
Marshal Wild Bill Hickock and his deputy Jingles bid for a prized longhorn steer named Old Red at a cattle auction. Rival rancher Blanco Brenham bids against them, and the sale becomes a fight. Later, Old Red is blamed for killing Colonel Harpen, but Bill and Jingles begin to doubt that story. Wild Bill Hickock stars Guy Madison as Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles. The episode first aired on November 19, 1952. The story follows Bill as he gathers evidence about the Colonel's death and questions Blanco about his actions.

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.
