Forest Monster?
AaronCapenBanner27 November 2014
Mad Jack(Denver Pyle) goes to the cabin of his friend James "Grizzly" Adams(Dan Haggerty) to tell him that an unholy beast, or some kind of forest monster, has been seen in the area, and should be tracked down and either driven out or disposed of. Nakoma(Don Shanks) has also heard the tale, and tells them both that another tribe member named Greywind has vowed to hunt it down, thinking it a dangerous spirit. Also in pursuit is the beast's owner(played by Slim Pickens) who is amazed to hear that people think it a monster, when it is really a desert dwelling animal named Hi-Jolly...Meanwhile, Greywind gets in a life-threatening situation that only Hi-Jolly can rescue him from! Amusing episode with a fun premise and performances.

Hi Jolly was an US Army pack animal. Part of a trial that didn't pan out. There's a memorial to him at Quartzsite, AZ.
