"The Lone Ranger" had ended its long run on television two years earlier, so who's a guest actor on this week's episode? Jay Silverheels, the one-and-only "Tonto," partner of the famous "Lone Ranger." Silverheels, obviously typecast, played in a number of television westerns throughout the 1960s, too.
Here, he plays "Charley Red Cloud," a man framed for shooting someone. The guy who ups the ante $1.500 for "Josh" (Steve McQueen) to go into Apache territory and retrieve Charley is the real killer, having shot the man in the back. He is "Will Bascom" (James Chandler) and he covers his tracks by having a friend go with him to intercept Randall if he is successful. The idea is to kill him and the Indian, who is the only one who knows the truth.
How Josh handles the whole situation is most of the story. It was good to see Silverheels and to hear his distinctive voice and accent, once again
