Summary
In this Western OTR episode, U.S. Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles investigate a series of disappearances at a county fair in Ranikaboo. They uncover a ring of con artists led by Dr. Hamilton Dingle who use fixed prize fights to rob and kill victims. After Jingles is tricked into betting on a rigged match, the scheme backfires when the "dead" fighter is revealed to be alive. The episode concludes with the villains' capture, aided by a baby pig Jingles won at the fair.
