Storyline:
Three army prisoners have escaped Ft Dayton. Mertz (James Parnell) still has chains around his wrists. Of the three, he's the big, dumb, strong one. Paul Tyler (Grant Williams) is trying to use a rock to break through the chains. He's not having any luck. The third escapee, Sutton(Joe Maross), leans against a rock complaining. He chastises Mertz for having killed the guard on the escape. He says they'll never get the chain off with rocks. Mertz says maybe the friend Sutton's taking them to will have a chisel. "Sure, we'll tell her you always go around wearing chains." Tyler is surprised to find out they're heading to a woman's house. Adam, who's out looking for strays, hears them talking and goes to investigate. Unfortunately, they overpower him and he's knocked out.
Reviews:
"Ben learned for the first time that a good friend of his is running an army camp that is for the "untrainable" soldiers. They are in trouble and are punished when they do wrong. Three men have had enough and escaped. Unfortunately, one of them is bad. I was actually a bit surprised at who the bad one turned out to be.
Lieutenant Paul Tyler is actually a very nice soldier who wants nothing more but to be on the straight and narrow. He begins imagining what settling down and having a family would be like when he meets his friend's old girlfriend.
The Captain leading a group to find the three escaped men is actually very evil. Ben warns the Colonel, but nothing is done. Unfortunately, things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
Ben shows his power in this episode. Angry at the Captain's attitude when in his home, Ben let's everyone know who's in control. At this point, when he tells his kids to do something, they DO it without any arguing..." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
"Three army deserters bust the stockade at Fort Dayton and Captain Chris Alcaide goes on the Ponderosa to find them. The three attack Pernell Roberts and now have his six shooter at least.
Alcaide really thinks his uniform entitles him to walk all over people. Not the Cartwrights and surely not the Ponderosa.
One guy his captured quick, the other two Joe Maross and Grant Williams take refuge on Gloria Talbott's neighboring ranch where Maross worked before.
The post is what you call a 'casual post'. It's set aside for army misfits. Sort of a malignant F Troop.
Maross is a real bottom feeder, Williams is a former officer with a mysterious past.
In the end truths are revealed to the whole cast in this interesting story." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
