Frontier secret service agent James West (Robert Conrad) and master of disguise Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) are called in when railroad workers are ambushed. Cheyenne Indians are being blamed for the attacks, but the chief (John Drew Barrymore, actress Drew's dad) insists, "My people are innocent." So who is demanding a ransom of $500,000 in gold? If you can get past the politically incorrect Native American stereotypes (particularly Susan Silo as a comely squaw), this vintage black-and-white episode from The Wild, Wild West's inaugural 1965 season offers a passel of great guest stars, including Katharine Ross (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and Elisha Cook Jr. (The Maltese Falcon). Surely that can't be Leslie Nielsen in a villainous role as a vengeful Army general? (Yes, that's Nielsen, and don't call me Shirley). This program is also available in a three-volume boxed set. --Donald Liebenson

It would be great if the entire collection could come out on a DVD box set - there are quite a few people that would buy the set...

This is The Wild Wild West's second pilot, produced by Collier Young. This time, James West is a real lady's man (watch carefully the funny torture scene) instead of being a Spartan just like in the original pilot. This is not the best one but it is nevertheless amusing due to the fantastic characters. It is a mean bandit-oriented episode with a peaceful and educated Indian. The cast is remarkable, especially "Forbidden Planet" Leslie Nielsen who plays a one-handed corrupted general. Katherine Ross, the female lead, is quiet gorgeous too. "The Killing" Elisha Cook, jr is nice, as traitor Mike McGreavy, and will return in "The Night of the Bars of Hell". A new regular character is introduced : the English manservant Tennyson who adds an ironic touch to this very American drama. A word to the wise : watch this one and please avoid the insignificant Wild Wild West movie.
