Well, they finally did it; they had an episode where nearly every scene has the stagecoach present or just a holler away. Because William Bendix is largely absent from this installment Doug McClure has to command all the attention and he does a good job. But at the same time the writers threw just about every twist of calamitous fate they could think of into this one and the viewer's mind never has a chance to gather wool.
McClure's obsession with chasing girls has been clearly established through the first three episodes of the series, so hopefully it crests with this episode and in the next few chapters he will have other things on this mind. Happily the action in this one is constant and never falters.
Lastly, it was nice to see a couple of B-western veterans involved, namely character specialist Earl Hodgins and the truly great keg of dynamite hero of the 1930's and 40's Bob Steele.
