Even with the versitle Harry Morgan doing his best, this is likely the hardest show of the entire series to watch. This is after Amanda Blake departed, and the new female lead just does not come close to filling the void. As for the story of kidnapping four women to make them brides seems to rush to the end. So much happens in a single overnight visit, that it simply is too much to swallow. To be honest, this episode is one of the worst written I have ever seen. It is more like "Gilligan's Island" than a Gunsmoke episode.
