This episode introduces US Deputy Marshal, Sam Buckhart. His character lasted only one season on the series, 'Law of a Plainsman," but I wish it had lasted longer. I really liked it.
I don't care much for Lucas' character in this episode. I thought he was a bit contradicting. I liked his final scene where he turns everything around, but I thought he was too full of himself.
Sam Buckhart is an Apache who was taken in by a General (I think) and sent to Harvard. He's more American than Indian now, but the townspeople don't care - an Indian is an Indian. this episode does a good job showing the prejudice against Native Americans and how one person's hate can poison everyone.
Mark learned a valuable lesson in this episode as well.
