What happens
Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles ride to help their old friend, the widow Mary Hodges, on her cattle ranch in Blue Valley. On the way they meet two rough-talking riders who claim Mary hired them as guards, and a tense standoff nearly turns into a gunfight. Bill and Jingles soon learn that the cattle are being rustled, and they follow the trail of the stolen herd toward a narrow box canyon. The story is part of the Wild Bill Hickok series, starring Guy Madison and Andy Devine, and is presented here with its Kellogg's Rice Krispies sponsor segments. Bill and Jingles face a dangerous ambush as they pursue the rustlers.

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.
