Goofs
The story is about a trip to Yuma, Arizona during 1860. However, it wasn't until 1861 that the Confederate Territory of Arizona came into existence. It wasn't until 1863 that the boundaries were formed which would later form the basis of the state, which was admitted to the Union in 1912 as the 48th State. Furthermore, Yuma wasn't named until 1873. Prior to that time, Yuma was known as Arizona City.

Quotes
[opening introduction]
Robert Young: For tonight only, while the family's on vacation, we have the opportunity to present a special program. It's a dramatic story set in Arizona in the year 1860. In a few seconds, when again we meet, I'll be one of five passengers riding the stage to Yuma, which happens to be the title of our story.

A Western Change Of Pace

Six stagecoach passengers are attacked by Indians.

Robert Young appears at the beginning telling us that the family is on vacation. He then introduces the dramatic story that follows. He plays a character totally unlike Jim Anderson. He is tough callous cowboy who is trying to spring a friend from jail. The other passengers include the driver, a deputy and his prisoner, a drunk, a female schoolteacher and her pupil. It was a strange episode for this series but taken at face value, it is a pretty suspenseful little Western drama.
