Neville Brand leads a group of escaped convicts, who hijack a prison wagon and take Jamie and three other hostages. Brand played his share of mean outlaws, and this film is no exception to type. Still you got to like the way the kids stick together. Christopher Beaumont needs to be set straight on some things, when he is trying to overcome the captors. This movie brings to mind Man Who Knew Too Much. The suspense is good. It deals well with how to go about dealing with hostage takers. The baddies don't seem like the smartest. Yet that's to be expected with villains. Jamie seems to be fully on board with the Cartwrights at this point. In the series.
