I did not expect less from this very good, solid, intelligent story, the kind of schemes which only Rod Serling has the secret of. I won't tell again the topic but you realize with this story that it's useless to use gunfights and violence to make a good tale. Typical from this unusual Tv western series. Jo Pevney, a western veteran for the big screen made it and he damn knows what he is talking about; remember one of his best films: THE PLUNDERERS, starring Jeff Chandler. This story is also a fine study of the human behavior, very clever and subtle too. It's really a shame that this show was too short.

Couldn't they find a real Indian to play the Guest Star role?
FloridaFred9 September 2023
Why didn't the producers have a real Indian play the guest role of Sue Sullivan, Indian? At least use an Italian or an Eastern European woman, not some lily-white girl (Katharine Ross). And what a slick play on her first name... they call her Sue? As in "Sioux" Indian?
This is so lame. Politically correct foolishness in 1965. White man bad, Indian good. 20 men, women, children in a wagon train slaughtered by Apaches, but the townspeople have no reason to be upset?
This sorry episode features a "crucifixion" scene with a Native American boy, while Mr. Colton quotes Bible verses. That is approaching blasphemy.
No wonder "The Loner" died in the ratings and got cancelled during the first season. This kind of garbage is why.
