DANIEL BOONE – The Courtship of Jericho Jones - 1965
This is the 29th episode of the long running 1964-70 series about the life of American frontiersman and explorer, Daniel Boone. The lead is played by Fess Parker. Also in the mix are Albert Salmi, Ed Ames, Patricia Blair, Veronica Cartwright and Darby Hinton.
Young trapper, Robert Logan, has fallen in love with the daughter, Anne Helm, of a chief of a Shawnee village. The two have decided to run off and get married. They show up at Fort Boonesborough with the rather upset Chief, Stuart Randall in pursuit.
Hand over the girl or the Shawnee will attack the fort. Daniel Boone (Fess Parker) invites the Chief, Randall, in for a friendly chat to try and settle the matter. They decide that the girl will stay with Parker's family to learn the settler's ways. Logan, will be brought back to the village to learn the Shawnee ways. If after a month, the two still wish to be a couple, Randall will not stop the union. Ed Ames is sent along to keep an eye on Logan and make sure he stays the month.
It does not take long before both Helm and Logan have had enough of the others way of living. They decide that the wedding is a bad idea and part as friends. This of course makes the Shawnee happy as pie.
a decent episode that moves along at a good clip under the direction of former film director, Nathan Juran. Juran had a good reputation for turning in good B-films, even when saddled with shoestring budgets. Examples of his work include, THE BLACK CASTLE, DRUMS ACROSS THE RIVER, LAW AND ORDER, HIGHWAY DRAGNET, THE CROOKED WEB, GOOD DAY FOR A HANGING, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH, THE DEADLY MANTIS, ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN and THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD.
