This particular episode of Wagon Train where Noah Beery, Jr. is in the title role is
one where Terry Wilson finally came into his own as an actor. It's the first time
Wilson dominates an episode as a good deal of the story is him chasing Beery
through the desert.
The Wagon Train is in the territory of Chief Red Hawk who has decreed that no game will be hunted by the pilgrims or he'll massacre everybody. But Noah Beery decides those rules don't apply to him. He traps some rabbits and gets caught. He slugs Charlie Wooster and Major Adams is accidentally stabbed with a poker when he falls on it during a fight.
That leaves Bill Hawks to go after Beery and being a former scout himself he's tough and resourceful. But Terry Wilson proves to be very tough indeed.
For fans of the dependable Bill Hawks on the Wagon Train series this episode is your's.
