In the first episode of a two-part story, Jason (Chuck Connors) recalls an incident in his past, involving a young and inexperienced African American Cavalry officer named Johnny Macon (played by future Mission: Impossible regular Greg Morris). While leading a small patrol into hostile Indian territory, Macon is captured by Apache chief Wateekah (Michael Keep), who has a sinister plan in mind for both Macon and his fellow captive Jason. Excerpts from "Fill No Glass for Me" were later spliced together with scenes from two other Branded episodes, "Now Join the Human Race" and "Call to Glory", to form the direct-to-video "feature film" Blade Rider: Revenge of the Indian Nations.
