Len Ontkean and Iris Krangle

[kevinolzak · 6/10 · 18 August 2016]

"The Servant" opens with Hawkeye and Chingachgook finding a lone woman wandering in dangerous Huron territory, Bridget Mullaney (Iris Krangle, first of two), a runaway bond servant from Ireland sold to local frontiersman Matt Stark (Len Ontkean, second of seven). She explains how she signed a piece of paper without knowing what it meant, and fears being taken back to a life of work and beatings. A visit to Sheriff James Nicholson (Daryl Masters, first of seven) leads to an introduction to leading citizen Jonathan Travers (Chris Wiggins, third of six), both of whom promise to help any way they can. In trying to ferret out the one responsible for selling the girl into slavery, Hawkeye poses as a buyer for another bond servant, resulting in the cold blooded murder of trading post clerk Simmons (Hugh Watson, first of six). The key to ending Bridget's days of misery is the lurking presence of Huron Pelu (Bob Vanstone, first of three), whom she remembers as being present for her docking in America. Both John Hart and Lon Chaney go toe to toe with the villains for the climactic fisticuffs.

Hawkeye and Chingachgook help a young Irish girl named Bridget who is running away from Stark - a man claiming to own her. It's up to our heroic duo to short though and clear this matter up.

The Servant

The show is quiet happy to raise issues such as the plight of bonded servants in the early settler days.

Hawkeye and Chingachgook come across young Irish girl, Bridget running away from her master.

She claims that she was forced into servitude and did not even know what she was signing to make her way to America.

Hawkeye poses as a buyer for a bonded labourer to find out exactly what is going on, but someone gets murdered.

A spirited performance from Iris Krangle as Bridget.
