This was a great Roger Moore/ Beau Maverick story. Not perfect, especially when it comes to your usual Native American representation. I'm quite sure the whole fire death thing is no Native American tribe ritual of any tribe, mind you I could be wrong. But considering they never mention which tribal nation these Indians belong to, I doubt it. Makes for entertaining copy rather than reality.
But gee all the tortuous tasks Beau had to do to be a warrior certainly put him in some James Bond territory he was going to take on in the coming years. Also seeing too gals at once; this is an episode where Roger Moore's suave personality really comes through. Other than that really lazy writing and plot with things being found out by the characters without knowing how or showing dialogue unfortunately.
