On a wolf hunt Pernell Roberts accidentally shoots Michael Landon who is then
attacked by said wolf. Roberts eventually gets the wolf, but Landon is severely
injured with both gunshot wound and bites.
While Little Joe is on the critical list, Adam is as you can imagine deeply troubled. Even more so by the fact that three bottom feeding saddle tramps
waylay Dan Blocker and steal medicine that Little Joe needs and hold it for
ransom.
Also in the story are Brendan Dillon and Carolyn Kearney a father and daughter pair of passing pilgrims who help Pernell Roberts with his brother.
They've gone west for Dillon's health, but Kearney hates it and she makes
Roberts question whether he isn't better suited for back east.
Nicely done story.
