The first episode of Law of the Plainsman introduces Michael Ansara as Deputy Marshal Sam Buckhart. He is a Apache Indian and a lawman.
Sam comes across a wagon. The man is killed with his young daughter inside holding a gun. She is Tess who tells Sam that her father was robbed and killed. She can identify the gunman with a mark on his hand.
The two robbers meet a third man who was the hired hand to Tess's dad and in league with them. They kill him so not to split their share with him but not before he asks about the little girl before he dies.
Now Sam has to protect Tess from the bad guys, he also needs her to trust him as she has ran away.
A promising first episode. An unusual series given the prominent lead role has a native Indian character even though Ansara was of middle eastern descent.
The character of Sam Buckhart had been introduced in two episodes of The Rifleman.
