synopsis
Tony De Costa is cast as Ramon, a Mexican youth who has suffered a lifetime of abuse at the hands of his father, and now is under the thumb of his cruel boss. Mad at the world, Ramon refuses to reveal the fact that he's discovered a rich gold vein. And then, inevitably, the boy is befriended by the kindly Cartwrights. Featured in the cast are Bruce Dern as Bayliss and Ross Hansen as Rader. Written by Robert Buckner and Preston Wood, "The Gold Mine" has seldom been seen since it originally aired on March 8, 1970.
