What happens
Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles ride to Texas to learn the secret of Sandy Hook. Ambushed in the hills, they are taken prisoner by a group of riders and brought to the ranch of John Giddings, the man they came to see. A series of shootings and a dangerous standoff at the ranch house follow as the two lawmen work to make sense of the trouble surrounding the Sandy Hook spread. Guy Madison plays Wild Bill and Andy Devine plays Jingles in this Wild Bill Hickok radio episode, which first aired on April 18, 1952.

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.
