Strange western

[bkoganbing · 5/10 · 18 June 2020]

While away from Shiloh James Drury has occasion to kill a horse thief. When he brings the body back to father Jay C. Flippen the father takes it philosophically. This son was no good, he gas another son a known outlaw and a daughter livijng with the Shoshones.

Before he dies Flippen names Drury and daughter Collin Wilcox as co-heirs. This scrub ranch might just have rich mineral deposits as a bottom feeding assayer and a shyster lawyer try to grab it off.

I can't think of too many people who name their son's killer an heir. But this was a strange western.'

Horrible Acting - Makes this Episode a dud

Collin Wilcox Paxton performance was just ridiculous , it was an insult to native people. She moved and sounded like an android or something from another planet, instead of someone raised by Indians.

She stared and movements were robotic, I couldn't get past the first 26 minutes before I moved to another episode. Previous reviewer called it a strange episode, the only thing strange was Ms. Paxton's performance.
