synopsis
Gregory Walcott is cast as Danny Morgan, a guitar-strumming "travelling troubadour." Grateful that Danny once saved his life, Adam Cartwright returns the favor by hiring the wandering minstrel as a ranchhand. The plot thickens when Danny is accused of murdering Widow Baker, with the sole witness claiming he heard singing just as the woman was killed. It is up to Adam to prove Danny's innocence-or guilt. Incidentally, Gregory Walcott's singing was dubbed in by Pernell Roberts, who plays Adam. Edward Andrews, Virginia Christineand Mort Mills also appear in "Song in the Dark", which was written by Judith and George W. George, and first aired on January 13, 1963.
