Here or the hereafter
bkoganbing8 November 2017
Dean Stockwell is the guest star in this Wagon Train episode playing a young Mexican kid who sees his father lynched by three men. When Robert Horton finds him he's shell shocked by the experience. When he's taken back to the Wagon Train married couple Robert Simon and Lillian Bronson take him in.

Later on one of the men who did the lynching is also found pretty near gone from Sioux torture. Stockwell who is silent and uncommunicative nurses him back to health, but only to get information about the other two.

I didn't really like the ending of this story. It's not clear at all what's going to happen to Stockwell despite Lillian Bronson really standing up for him. There is the law you know. There's also Father Paul Langton on the train concerned with Stockwell's future in the hereafter.

Still there's a nice Indian attack enough action for any red blooded western fan.
