One of the most memorable of Wagon Train episodes was this one, the first of many where Dan Duryea was the guest star. The sight of Duryea looking like either the missing link or Bigfoot when he attacks Robert Horton is unforgettable.
While scouting a to find a pass through the mountains Horton discovers the remains of another Wagon Train with graves dug and Dan Duryea living like a savage beast.
Also discovered is the diary of one of the train members detailing how one of the passengers stole food from the others to keep himself alive. That doesn't make Duryea too popular with the members of Ward Bond's Wagon Train. In fact Bond has all he can do to keep everyone from lynching Duryea. Duryea is especially unpopular with young Judi Meredith whose fiancé was on the other train and whose grave is among the ones dug.
Duryea gives a remarkable performance, the first of many rides he took on the Wagon Train.
