This episode could have been better
kfo949422 September 2016
This episode begins on a stormy night inside a cabin where a man has been beaten and a woman held by force. What is going on is that Mike Bradley is being forced to marry a girl that he has never seen. It is all a plot by a nearby landowner to get rid of Bradley and have the girl, Ann, run the ranch for him. After the shotgun marriage, they force Mike off the land telling him to never return.

Years later, Mike finds out that his small farm has now turned into one of the best farms in the area. He finds out that the ranch is run by Ann, the one that he was force to marry. Mike now returns to the farm to claim his right to the property and all the fruits of time.

Even though the show featured Phyllis Kirk and Steve Forrest, the action, other than the wedding scene, was played stiff and felt unrealistic. It did not help matters as we are suppose to believe that Ms Kirk, that was in her 40's, was trying to play a 23 year old girl. Ms Kirk was a nice looking woman but it was a reach to believe she was that young. Overall, the plot was lacking in many ways as the situation could have been much better. With the stiff action and slow pace, this episode was average at best.

Warning: Spoilers
Mike Bagley is forced to have a shotgun marriage with a woman called Ann by shady landowner Casey Hydecker.

Afterwards Mike is ran out of town. The presumption being that Ann Bagley will take over his land and cattle.

Some years later Mike returns after the civil war. He sees a cow with his old branding.

This could had been an interesting story. It was badly return. Just what was Mike doing there and why did he not come mob handed.

It was hard to believe that Ann would save Mike or that Hydecker did not forcibly marry Ann has he desired her so much.

Phyllis Kirk did not convince as a young twentysomething.
