Lightning Jim follows the story of U.S. Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple, his trusty horse Thunder, and his deputy, Whitey Larson, as they attempt to portray the history of how the west was won. The show includes adventures with famous individuals from western history, such as Wild Bill Hickock. While it touches on significant historical events, it includes stereotypical portrayals of Native Americans and the history of the Union-Pacific Railroad, among other Western-related subjects. The show originally began as The Adventures of Lightning Jim and has an entertaining yet informative tone catered to western radio fans.

The program originally premiered in the 1940s as a West Coast show, and later returned as a syndicated ZIV series in the 1950s, resulting in a total of 98 radio episodes produced. This collection provides the few surviving episodes of Lightning Jim and offers a glimpse into the history and cultural influence of the time. Although there isn't much information available about the actors and production team, it remains a valuable resource and a delight for fans of old Western radio shows.
