As you can tell by the title this Wagon Train episode is concerned with a mutiny that John McIntire is facing because of a decision he made regarding some Comanchero raiders. Denny Miller comes across a previous Wagon Train that has been wiped out, but one wounded Comanchero was left behind, a young kid played by Jose DeVega. He tells McIntire that he was abducted in a raid on his village and has played along to survive. He also says that the band that did the raid on the previous and much smaller Wagon Train was only part of the group.
McIntire makes a decision to launch a first strike against the camp. It does not go down well with the members of the Wagon Train. Even Terry Wilson questions the wisdom as he doesn't trust Comancheros on general principle. Wilson goes along though, but Dan Duryea stirs up trouble after that raid nets a few casualties including Jane Wyman's young son.
Wyman gives a gut wrenching performance as a grieving mother who is caught between anger, revenge, and grief. They all register at the same time with her. Duryea is his usual nasty self.
These two Hollywood icons are enough reason to see this Wagon Train story.
