Storyline:
A trader and his two brothers beat up two American Indians and take their wives. When the Indian men ask the Shoshone leader to rescue their wives from the traders, Adam intervenes to prevent a war against the Indians. Adam rescues the assaulted women, but the Shoshone still go on a killing rampage, leaving the trader for dead. The guilty trader decides to incite the people of Virgina City into believing it is the peaceful Paiute Indians who instigated the killings, gathering a mob to confront the Paiutes. An attempt for Adam Cartwright to parley with the Paiute chief turns sour when the trader disobeys orders and fires the first shot. Adam is captured by the Paiutes. Ben must race against time to find the Shoshone leader before the Calvary reach the Paiutes - and the Paiutes kill Adam. Written by The Chief Geek

Reviews:
"Jack Warden stirs up a whole hornet's nest of trouble in this Bonanza story. He and his bottom feeding brothers molest some Indian women and when he leaves for a bit their men folk kill the brothers. Warden comes to Virginia City blaming the Paiutes instead of Bannocks and that starts a nasty Indian War which Lorne Greene tries his best to prevent.

He's got a personal reason for stopping this one. Chief Winnemucca of the Paiutes is holding Pernell Roberts as a hostage in the care of his son Michael Forest.

This was a good story about the effects of prejudice on the frontier and how quickly things can get out of hand when hatred is the driving force." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com


"The thing about Adult Westerns is that things didn't always turn out the way we hoped, and this is one of those episodes. What started out as three bad men at a trading post being mean to a couple Indians turned out to be a huge, blow out between a different Indian group and the citizens of Virginia City.

It's unfortunate how far things went. The one man who started the whole thing really caused a lot of damage. After hurting an Indian and taking the Indian's wife and another wife, Adam rode to the rescue to rescue them. He left the men there, but Wilson rode off. When the Indian Tribe showed up, they murdered the other two men then caused some more damage. The wrong tribe was blamed, thanks to Wilson who was trying to keep himself out of trouble. But he only caused a great big mess!" [...] Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
