synopsis
Both Ben Cartwright and Luther Bishop (Carl Benton Reid) lay claim to the strip of land separating their two spreads. Though there's no love lost between Cartwright and Bishop, Ben is willing to allow the law to determine ownership of the disputed strip. But ruthless land baron Jason Cauter (S. John Launer) is not quite so patient. Meanwhile, Little Joe falls in love with Bishop's daughter Amy. James Coburn plays a supporting role in "The Truckee Strip," which was written by Herman Groves and originally broadcast on November 21, 1959.
