What happens

Bill and Jingles try to recover the scattered cattle and deal with Darrow and his men. The series is Wild Bill Hickok, and this episode aired on November 7, 1952, with Guy Madison as Wild Bill and Andy Devine as Jingles.

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.
