Boxcars711 Overnight Western "Wild Bill Hickock" - A Blind Trail (Aired November 1, 1951)


This juvenile western followed the same format as the TV show of the same name that ran throughout the same years.

FIRST BROADCAST: May 17, 1951 LAST BROADCAST: February 12, 1956 SPONSORS: Kellog CAST: Guy Madison and Andy Devine. ANNOUNCERS: Charlie Lyon PRODUCERS/DIRECTORS: Paul Pierce.
