Tales of the Texas Rangers - "Apache Peak" (Old Time Radio, 1950)
Tales of the Texas Rangers | Old Time RadioShow Notes
Old Time Retro Radio presents Tales of the Texas Rangers, “Apache Peak,” originally broadcast on July 22, 1950. This is episode 3 of the NBC crime drama series, starring Joel McCrea as Texas Ranger Jace Pearson.
A traveling salesman is murdered on a highway southwest of Wichita Falls, and Ranger Pearson follows the clues west toward the remote country around Apache Peak. Written by Russell Hughes and produced and directed by Stacy Keach Sr., this modern Ranger case also reflects the series’ Wheaties sponsorship.
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.
