"The Girl" opens with Seneca Chief Kubaka (John Vernon, fourth of eight) joining forces with Iroquois Chief Oganu (Ed Holmes, second of four) to make war on the white man through long dead chief Pontiac (William Walsh, fourth of nine). Hawkeye and Chingachgook visit Col. Sanford (Peter Humphreys, first of five) and agree to lead troops back from a nearby fort, only to be greeted by his son Jamie (Bobby Barringer, last of two) and new governess Jane Parrish (Pegeen Rose). Hawkeye recognizes Jane from past experiences, all bad, but she promises to turn over a new leaf if he keeps silent. Unfortunately, both he and Chingachgook get waylaid by the Iroquois as evidence that she is responsible for the entire scheme to raise an imposter of Pontiac back from the dead to lead an attack with guns and powder that Hawkeye will take them to. It is here that she falls victim to her own lying tongue, sealing the fate of Kubaka in the process. For the first (but not the last) time, John Vernon is cast as an Indian chief, and a villainous one.

The Girl
Prismark1024 February 2021
When Hawkeye sees Miss Parrish, the new governess of Colonel Sanford's son. He gets suspicious.
Hawkeye has seen her before, she was then Miss Adams and is a notorious woman.
Miss Parrish is in league with ambitious Kubaka, a native Indian who is stirring up other tribes to see off the settlers.
She plans to raise the spectre of a dead Indian war chief Pontiac. Luckily Miss Parrish found a ringer who is also a mute.
Miss Parrish tortures Hawkeye and Chingachgook so she can find the arsenal that Colonel Sanford has hidden.
There is a clever ploy Hawkeye uses so Miss Parrish reveals her true nature to the Iroquois. She certainly caved in easily.
There was some location shooting and the sound echo surely testifies to that.
