Walking he spots a horse and clothes so he puts them on and rides to Buffalo Springs. The screams of a woman brings the Sheriff who arrests him for robbing the bank. His clothes, horse and height match one of the robbers. Trampas follows him to Buffalo Springs where he spots a man in the saloon in David's clothes.

On the Lighter side

This is a Very Cute episode with an All Star Cast of both veteran Actors and 'not yet' famous actors such as James Brolin. I enjoyed watching the comedy side of a western. The antics of Trampas and David ( Doug McClure and a young David Hartman) were very enjoyable. On the odd side, one cast member is listed in the credits as Ann Prentiss. She is actually the well known actress Paula Prentiss. Why she is listed as Ann Prentiss is unknown since she and her real life husband stared in a TV sit com HE & SHE for two years prior to this episode as Paula Prentiss. This episode of the Virginian is also Not listed on her Bio. But there is No Doubt it is Paula... there has always been only One Paula Prentiss.
