This episode begins at Fort Dodge where the Cavalry has picked up an white Indian boy that appears to around 11 years of age. Mrs. Cullen has arrived and tells them that the boy is her son Dennis that was captured by the Indians nine years ago. Mrs. Cullen really does not believe that this is her son but wants to take the white child and give him a good home thinking her real son had the same opportunity.
But the young Indian boy does not take kindly to civilization. And with the Indians on the war path, the citizens of Dodge are not happy having a savage Indian running around the streets of Dodge acting like he wants to kill them. It is not long before trouble starts and Mrs. Cullen has little control over the boy.
One evening the boy leaves the house, steals a horse and sets out to the prairie. Matt and Chester follow his tracks hoping to find the boy.
With Mrs. Cullen (Marian Seldes) always trying to get the young Indian to obey her (which never happened) the story was getting old. The viewers had a good guess how this episode was going to turn end but the writers threw in a nice little twist at the end to bring the show to a surprise closure. Not as entertaining as some of the previous shows but an episode that turned into a nice watch with the ending twist.
