When Captain Parmalee sends his Rangers out looking for rustlers who stole J. Pat O'Malley's herd, he's got a real skeleton crew on his hands when a whole crowd of gunslingers arrives in Laredo. It's only Philip Carey, William Smith, Peter Brown and a new kid Ranger that they've taken on board, Kurt Russell.
Russell is an Indian lad who has left the reservation and was running with an outlaw gang when the Rangers capture the gang and specifically Brown captures Russell after an interesting tussle.
Grey Smoke is Russell's character name and Carey enlists him in the Rangers as a runner/messenger, not unlike the way juveniles were recruited for the short lived pony express. But he proves to be quite an asset in taking down those gunslingers.
Kurt Russell blond hair had to be darkened to play a convincing Indian, makes him look a bit strange. It's a fun episode especially for younger viewers.
