A gang of outlaws, led by the sadistic Dibs (Richard Jaeckel), descends upon the Ponderosa. The crooks are determined to retrieve $60,000 in stolen money from their duplicitous partner Don Buckler (Ron Hayes), now wounded and under the care of the Cartwright boys. Eve McVeigh appears as housekeeper Harriet Guthrie, temporary replacement for the Cartwrights' longtime servant Hop Sing, while Joan Freeman is cast as Kelly. First shown on October 15, 1967, "Night of Reckoning" was written by Walter Black.
