David Macklin is the handsome young guest star in this excellent episode of Bonanza. Jan Sterling and Lee Van Cleef and Allan "Rocky" Lane also turn in very fine performances that make this feel like a '50s movie, not a TV series.
David Macklin has to be a lovable bad kid which is something he can do. He looks great enough to have been a teen idol. He definitely could hold his own with the old pros here as the story develops. David's character arrives in town and he hears his dad has just been killed by that mean old Ben Cartwright.
The story unfolds from there. Neither Michael Landon nor Pernell Roberts appear in this episode.
