What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles are fired on by a sniper outside their Santa Fe office while Jingles is studying a mail-order book on detective work. Following clues from the shooting, they trace a counterfeiting scheme to an old copperhead mine, where they find a dead man and a hidden room. The episode is part of the Wild Bill Hickok series, first aired on January 29, 1954, with Guy Madison and Andy Devine in the lead roles. Jingles and Bill must sort out who is behind the fake silver dollars.

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.
