Wagon Train (1957)

Episode Overview

An Army general declares that he will assume control of the wagon train, insisting that everyone must act as soldiers to assist in rescuing a besieged cavalry unit of 120 men, who face imminent danger from hostile Utes. Flint, who is currently overseeing the wagon train, feels cornered into complying with the general’s order, despite his resentment and the passengers' desire for him to resist. What troubles Flint the most is discovering that Jim Bridger, the famed frontiersman and scout who played a significant role in his upbringing and whom he greatly admires, is the one who suggested this takeover.
