Tales of the Texas Rangers - "Wild Crop" (Old Time Radio, 1951)
Tales of the Texas Rangers | Old Time RadioShow Notes
Old Time Retro Radio presents Tales of the Texas Rangers, “Wild Crop,” episode 53, originally broadcast on NBC Radio Network on November 18, 1951. Joel McCrea stars as Texas Ranger Jace Pearson in this police-procedural drama, produced and directed by Stacy Keach Sr.
When a ranch hand is found dead near a stand of button willows outside Boroughville, West Texas, Pearson and the local sheriff retrace the victim’s final movements through tense ranch-country relationships and carefully gathered physical evidence. Presented as a dramatization from the Texas Ranger files, the series drew technical guidance from Captain M. T. “Lone Wolf” Gonzaullas.
Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
