Young Kurt Russell spins many tales about his father whom he does not know has
spent the last six years in prison. His mother never told him before she died and
one day happens to run into Trampas and tries to pass him off as his dad to
schoolteacher Joanna Moore as well as the other kids at the Medicine Bow Orphanage.
As it turns out Russell's dad Rory Calhoun has just got out of prison and wants to look up his son. But a couple of old outlaw buddies, Bing Russell and Harry
Lauter think Russell has a big stash of loot hidden away and they want it.
Some nice scenes with Kurt Russell and Doug McClure characterize this episode. Calhoun gives a nice performance of a man wanting to go straight if
people will let him.
