IN BRIEF: Hopalong Cassidy, foreman of the Bar-20 ranch, receives a letter supposedly from former hand Kit Kirby saying he's in trouble. Kit and his partner Joe found gold worth $500 a ton, but his pard was ambushed. Kit's wife Sally is in Indian Spring and needs help. Hoppy calls California Carlson in from the range and they strike off to investigate -- knowing the letter is a forgery! They learn from Sally that she wrote the note and that her husband is hiding in the hills, afraid to bring his gold into town lest he be murdered. Killer Luke Barry has the town buffaloed, according to Jerry the bartender. That night, however, Doc Sheldon kills Barry in a card game dispute. Hoppy checks the dead man's cards, and wonders. The heroes overhear the doctor plotting with "dead" Barry to ambush Kit when he rides back into town. Doc persuades Sally to take him to meet Kirby; he's arranged with Barry that Barry will shoot whoever's riding second in line, and Doc will make sure that it's Kirby. Hoppy changes the plans, though, and when the sharpshooter begins firing, Doc is scared and makes a confession. California, it turns out, whacked Barry over the head and was shooting in his stead. His errant shots were enough to scare Doc. California later says he misunderstood directions and was trying to hit Doc. (First program to air.)
