synopsis
Mildred Natwick guest-stars as the formidable Mrs. Wharton, a snobbish Englishwoman living by her wits and will in the Wild, Wild West. When the stage on which she is travelling is held up by outlaws, the snooty Mrs. Wharton must rely upon that "uncouth creature" Candy to retrieve her valuables. Candy soon discovers that Mrs. Wharton is a lot more resourceful and self-reliant than she appears to be. Loosely based on the real-life tour of the American West by British actress Mrs. Trollope, "Mrs. Wharton and the Lesser Breeds" was written by Preston Wood, and was first shown on January 19, 1969.
