Along the way they find a freight wagon blown up and its driver shot dead, yet nothing appears to have been stolen. In town they learn that a protection racket run by a man called Lobo is terrorizing the businessmen, and that witnesses willing to testify have been killed. Bill and Jingles begin to question who is behind the violence and why. The series is Wild Bill Hickok, a radio program first broadcast on October 31, 1952, starring Guy Madison and Andy Devine.

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.
