What happens
United States Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles are sent to arrest Johnny Williams, a twelve-year-old boy who has been firing on lawmen at his family's shack in Iron Mountain. Johnny's father has died after a fight over a stolen horse, and the boy is bitter toward the law and sure no one will listen to him. Bill and Jingles take him into custody but begin to doubt the official account of his father's death. The episode is part of the Wild Bill Hickok series, first broadcast on May 7, 1954, with Guy Madison as Bill and Andy Divine as Jingles.
The frontier town of Cactus Junction and the nearby Iron Mountain area, with its shack and ranch, and the Crystal Palace Cafe.
Characters: Wild Bill Hickok, Jingles, Johnny Williams, Sheriff Pierce, Charlie Peters, Frank Ivers
Listen for: Johnny's bitterness toward the law, and Bill's insistence on proof before judging anyone guilty.
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.
