- Annie Oakley Full Episode 10 Season 1 : A cattleman tries to take over the railroad so that he can control the price of shipping cattle.
A fictionalized account of the life of legendary Wild West sharpshooter Annie Oakley. Set in the quiet western town of Diablo, Annie and her little brother Tagg made sure that outlaws who moseyed into town kept on going. Often at her side was friend, suitor and deputy sheriff Lofty Craig with whom she often showed off her shooting prowess.
The show starred Gail Davis in the title role, and co-starred Brad Johnson as Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig and Jimmy Hawkins, as Annie's brother, Tagg. In one episode, "Bull's Eye", the role of Tagg was played by Billy Gray, better known as James "Bud" Anderson, Jr., on Father Knows Best. In the series, Annie Oakley rode a horse named Target, Tagg's horse was Pixie and Lofty's was named Forest. Annie and Tagg lived in the town of Diablo, Arizona, with their uncle, Sheriff Luke MacTavish, who was usually away whenever trouble started. It would then be up to straight-shooting Annie and her "silent suitor" Lofty Craig to rescue law-abiding neighbors and arrest outlaws. Often Tagg would be told to stay in town and out of the way, but through disobedience, the need to relay important new information, or being captured by outlaws, he would end up in the middle of the adventure.
Annie always wore the same fringed cowgirl outfit, of which 15 or more copies were made throughout the show's production. Her hairstyle was braided pigtails.
And she did her own stunts!!!!!
The little ten wheeler engine and caboose/combine are preserved at Laws Railroad Museum outside of Bishop, CA. They also have a neat Brill narrow gauge passenger motorcar that operates on certain weekends. The museum staff are trying to raise enough money to restore #9 to operation again as of 2024. Go check her out! Another Annie Oakley episode featuring the Carson & Colorado/Southern Pacific narrow gauge and locomotive #9 is "The Brass Collar".
Terrific trick pony!
Episode filmed on Southern Pacific's Keeler Branch, the "Slim Princess". SP's Jawbone branch from Mojave,CA to Lone Pine, connected at Laws,CA. Narrow gauge line was abandoned in 1961, I believe. There is a museum in Laws,CA.
