Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Inheritance (1960)
Season 2, Episode 30
9/10
One of the Better Episodes, Great Guess Star John Anderson
11 November 2023
Nice surprises in this one where a rich father hires Josh to find his long lost son. The catch here is that the father is blind and doesn't have a picture of the son. He only knows that he carries a locket his mother gave him.

Guess star John Anderson was on numerous Westerns of the period, including the Rifleman 11 times and Gunsmoke 12 times. This was his only appearance on "Wanted." He's used to good effect, playing an unusual and surprising role.

I really liked that the episode shows that Josh isn't as money-hungry as he sometimes appears. He is willing to give all his money back $2,000 when he realizes that he has not done his job properly.

The minimal gun-play and reliance on clever and surprising twists makes this an excellent episode.
