Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Jose De Vega is cast as Tatu, an embittered Indian youth who hates all white men. Injured and left to die by his tribe, Tatu is rescued by Hoss, who makes it his mission in life to prove to the boy that not all whites are monsters. Before the episode is over, both Tatu and Hoss have their faithful in mankind severely tested. Despite the serious nature of the story, Michael Fisher's teleplay manages to rabbet in a few moments of levity. "To Kill a Buffalo" originally aired on January 9, 1966.
