Storyline:
"When a brutal U.S. Marshal arrests one of the Ponderosa's workers for murder to transport him to Los Angeles for trial, and a doubtful Hoss and Adam come along in the stagecoach, along with a Dr. and his beautiful daughter, to make sure the Marshal doesn't kill him before they get there. The question also arises later of whether the ranch worker is really guilty and dangerous after all." Written by Directorgene on IMDb.com

Reviews:
"It seems like any other ordinary day at the Ponderosa when a really brutal US Marshal played by Claude Akins arrives and takes into custody one of the hands played by Wesley Lau.

Pernell Roberts and Dan Blocker are right there and they don't care for Akins's methods and are concerned their friend Lau might not reach Los Angeles to stand trial for a murder he's accused of. Akins agrees to let them go, but they have to deposit their six guns in the stagecoach's locked strong box.

It's not long before a whole lot of other people start complicating the trip for which Bud Osbourne is driving the stage. John Weingraf and his daughter Fintan Meyler are a pair of European travelers going to the Pacific coast. Also another stranded cowboy on the trail, Ron Hayes is looking for a lift. It all comes to a head when the whole cast arrives at Will Wright's stagecoach relay station.

This episode of Bonanza is driven mainly by the performances of Lau and Akins. As you might gather neither is quite what he appears to be when we first meet them. Don't let this one slip by." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"Pretty much anything Claude appears in is going to be good. I don't think there's a Gunsmoke, Rifleman, Rawhide, or Bonanza episode (along with many other shows) with Claude Atkins in it that I don't like! I think my favorite Bonanza episode with him in it is the one where he plays a blacksmith who comes back to his homestead where his wife is buried (can't remember the name of it)

In this episode, the two main character actor roles are actually not what they seem. At first, you think that one is the good guy and the other is the bad, but as the episode progresses, we learn that things are very different from reality.

This is another one of those episodes that makes Adam my least favorite Cartwright. He's so high and mighty and totally wrong in this episode! Hoss's character was pretty weak. Perhaps Little Joe would have livened things up a bit..." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
