RB085 The Deep Country

   Our Ranger Bill exciting adventure for Wednesday evening , 11/12/25, is RB085

The Deep Country

Col. Anders and his wife get lost in the deep country while they are on vacation. The colonel’s assistant tells the Anders’ daughter that her parents are missing. Those two plus the slow-motion folks who live in the deep country make Bill’s job of finding the Anders nearly impossible.

This is one of Ranger Bill's very first adventures. It was probably first broadcast in 1950 when the show was several 15-minute adventures aired on Monday afternoons in the greater Chicago area only. Our cast may have also performed this show live to Sunday Schools and church groups to help advertise the broadcasts.

Nov. 8, 2025, is RB091

In the Eagles' Nest

Bill and Lieutenant Larson of the US Aeronautical Survey Team find Old Man Margrave tied up and half dead in his cabin in Lost Canyon. Two thugs, Hawk and Banjo Eyes, did this to the old gentleman to get his treasure hidden up in the mountain cliffs. The key to finding the treasure is a notebook hidden in the cabin. So why does Bill want a football uniform, a pilot's helmet, 100 feet of rope, and 10 pounds of beef to find the treasure? How will Bill, Henry, and Lt. Larson keep the two crooks from stealing or destroying the treasure? What is this mysterious treasure anyway? You'll have to listen to find out.
