What happens
US Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles escort a freight wagon train bound for Tombstone, Arizona. The blue wagon carries $30,000 in army payroll gold, and Captain Wilson, who commands the train, has learned that someone has already tampered with its lock. Bill and Jingles watch the wagon closely as the train rolls west. Trouble soon erupts over the wagon's driver, and a broken wheel brings the blue wagon to a halt. Bill and Jingles must decide who on the train can be trusted and how to keep the gold secure.

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.
