What happens

Frank Harvey, a member of the World Adventurer Club, tells his most thrilling experience in northern Mexico. He is supervising an engineering project near Prieta when a former lieutenant of Pancho Villa claims to know where the bandit leader hides his treasure in a secret canyon in the Sierra Madre mountains. Harvey decides to steal the hoard, and he recruits an American named Arnold to join the mission. The two men and the Mexican guide ride into the canyon to search for the buried money.

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.
