What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his partner Jingles are captured by an Indian tribe and tied up beside a bonfire. A young Indian brave, Little Cloud, frees them in exchange for a promise to bring peace to his people, and he directs them to the Valley of Eagles to speak with Putanka. There they learn that white gun dealers have armed the tribes against the settlers, and that a medicine man is stirring up the warpath. Hickok confronts the gun seller Jurgens, and then challenges the medicine man, whose disguise is exposed in front of the tribe.

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.
