Jane Wyman guest stars on this Wagon Train story about a physician of the
female gender who is going west to a settlement where a doctor is needed.
She's had a lot of problems gaining acceptance and oddly enough from members of her own sex. But as Wyman says the members of Ward Bond's
Wagon Train are much better than the women citizens of Boston where she
hails from.
Wyman faces two crises in this episode. One is helping Alan Marshal who is a friend of Ward Bond's traveling west who is a hopeless alcoholic, but is now suffering physically because of it.
The other is to help a seriously Cheyenne war chief by removing a bullet and overcoming Indian prejudices that don't allow for medicine women.
Bond starts showing a little romantic interest in her, but Wyman seems destined for a place in Marshal's affections.
This is a nicely done story with Wyman and Marshal outstanding.
