    Prairie Skipper

    Bronco, hired on as trail boss on a cattle drive, tries to avoid outside problems. However, his troubles grow when he is forced to help a naval officer who is trying to fend pirates who are after his treasure and tries to keep a seductive wife of the Naval officer - and daughter of a rancher Berkeley who is is looking for as she ran away - from running away with his employee and another guy. She's too handle and apparently Berkeley isn't her father but her husband - she got two husbands.

    Interesting to see Bonanza's Lorne Greene cast as a skipper especially when his Ben Cartwright character was a former skipper as well. He lends a likeable presence while Arlene Howell as his wife drives the men crazy. But Bronco doesn't fall for her tricks.

    • Trivia
      Ty Hardin's shirt is open far enough at one point to qualify as a bare-chest scene, making this the ninth "Bronco" episode in which Hardin shows some "beefcake."
