Needing a driver for grandmother Nellie Burt and granddaughter Joyce Bulifant,
Robert Fuller hires Michael Parks who plays the title role in this Wagon Train
story. Parks is quite the boozer and he and Frank McGrath strongly object to the
Blue Laws that the town Parks is in has now past. Costs a bit to get both of them
back on the Wagon (Train).
There's another couple traveling on the Wagon Train, young marrieds Dick York and Judi Meredith. York was kind of adopted the way Don Corleone adopted Tom Heggen. Only York is now married to his only child and she's with child now. They're returning home. Meredith is one headstrong young woman and actually resentful of the way York was favored by dad who owned a Ponderosa like spread in California.
York and Meredith have a secret, but it's nothing to the one that Parks is carrying. In the end Parks helps York and Meredith get through a crisis and finds some salvation for himself.
It's a good turn that Michael Parks gives, some elements fro;m the Otto Preminger film The Cardinal found in this episode.
