Frontier custody fight

7/10

"Disreputable trapper Flathead Joseph (Chris Alcaide) comes upon settler girl-turned Cherokee Tekwatha (Lynn Loring) and re-abducts her back to Boonesborough. This irritates the Cherokee with potentially violent consequences for the settlement.

Guest appearances are fairly light; Alcadie, a "Maltese Falcon" alumni, is out of the picture early, and Loring is only given pidgin-native dialogue. She would go on to far greater things as president of MGM/UA Entertainment..."
