Susan Oliver shines in this tale about a young woman that is treated poorly by the community. It seems that her father and brother were local criminals and at the beginning of the show find a lynch mob taking care of business. The only people that will help the young girl, Leta Malvet, is the Cartwrights.
Leta has a boyfriend, Clay Renton played by Jack Lord, which has been in trouble most of his life. When Leta is recovering from a stress attack at the Ponderosa, Clay comes over and thanks the Cartwrights for giving her aid. But the real reason that Clay is grateful is that he has thought of stealing the Cartwright's payroll. But before the payroll, Clay tries a small gig when he robs the local general store. But things do not go as planned. And now Clay and Leta are planning to make a quick get-a-way.
The way Ms Oliver plays up to the camera makes the viewer really feel for the outcast female. She was the perfect cast for the girl that has lived a tough life and still tries her best to be a part of society. The only negative thing about the entire show was that the ending was so abrupt, the viewer was longing for more. A very nice program during the first year of the series.
