What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles investigate after Jingles' homemade wind wagon crashes into a barn and exposes a hidden coin press. Jingles has built the contraption to ride on the wind, and the crash puts the two lawmen on the trail of a counterfeiting scheme in town. Wild Bill questions the banker, who received a suspicious coin from another town, and the pair starts to piece together who might be passing phony money. The series, Wild Bill Hickok, aired on June 17, 1953, with Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles.
A small frontier town in the American West, with a general store, a bank, and a barn on a hillside.

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.
