Wild Bill Hickock – Range War. ep23, 1951.

Wild Bill and Jingles are about to ride smack into the middle of a full blown feud out on the range. Two bands of riders race at each other, shooting. Caught between the shooters, it’s up to Bill to call them to a halt. The range warriors are out for blood, but not wanting outsiders to shed blood, they at least listen to Bill. For now.

What they need is a big box of those yummie treats, made from the golden hearts of corn. Eat them right out of the box just like any tasty treat or snack. You know why, because kids love Pops, moms love Pops, and pops love Pops.

Back to the story. It looks like Bill and Jingles have their hands full in keeping the warring clans apart. If it were just the two families, it could be a simple thing, but the whole county has taken sides against the Cauldwells, and the Moore’s. The little skirmish has a couple of tough guys ready to use the feud to their advantage. A murder is staged, but will Wild Bill fall for the bogus crime? The feud will begin anew if Bill can’t prove the murder never happened. Jingles helps to forestall the slaughter that will spark when news of the killing gets out, but what’s the violence meant to cover for anyway?

We’ll get all the answers right after another break with that treat loaded with sugary goodness. Eat all you want of that crisp treat with the sweetening already on them. Sure to stay fresh for 10 times longer with that solid aluminum bag to protect them. Got your sugar rush under control?

Time to get back to stopping that battle of the century. Bill has ridden up on some cattle being rustled. Will it answer the questions that Bill is looking for, or just lead to his own end? As we return to see how the feud is going down, a shot rings out. Has Bill been gunned down? Don’t sell Bill so short. He has the vital clue needed to stop that range war, but will he e believed? Listen in to learn the outcome.
