Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Stranded in the middle of nowhere without a horse, Paladin (Richard Boone) hitches a ride with Jack Burnaby (Crahan Denton), a flamboyant and extremely cynical puppeteer. Burnaby is en route to Fort Pawnee, home of General George Croft (Denver Pyle), who hopes one day to be President of the United States--and woe betide anyone who gets in his way. Initially hired to help Croft's campaign efforts, Burnaby begins to rethink his mission thanks to the intervention of Paladin. Peter Boone, son of series star Richard Boone, makes his acting debut as a physically challenged youngster.
