Tales of Wells Fargo: Belle Star (1957)
Similar Script
This episode is very similar to the Pearl Hart episode starring Beverly Garland. The stage holdup is similar and both Garland(Pearl Hart) and Jeanne Cooper challenge Hardie, Garland (to a pistol target shot) and Cooper to a horse race. In the end despite being helped by each woman to defeat other bad guys, Hardie takes each woman to be tried. In both scripts, Jeanne Cooper and Beverly Garland toss their guns to Jim who overtakes the bad guys.
Gunsmoke: Ash (1963)
Dehner and Caruso
I think that Dehner and Caruso were excellent in this episode which had its share of comedic and serious moments. Adam West seemed aloof and out of character for his role. I would have preferred to see a different ending that showed Dehner recovering from the accident.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the freight driver utter the phrase "big as s... " just before the barrels fell on Dehner. It was the 1960's, and editors didn't take this out?
