    Storyline:
    "Little Joe is knocked unconscious and his horse is stolen by an outlaw. He wanders through the desert until he comes to a ghost town. He collapses in the street. When he comes to, finds himself being nursed back to health by a beautiful girl in Martinville, a quiet place full of friendly if mysterious townsfolk. After his recovery, Joe is surprised to be offered the position of Sheriff by the town's leaders. They tell him they need him to save them from a band of marauding outlaws. A woman attired in black warns Joe of the town's previous shameful betrayal of her husband, the town's previous sheriff. Still, Joe organizes resistance against the outlaws. In the end, Joe is forced to face the outlaws as the townsfolk grow increasingly diffident; and he is forced to come face to face with the final dark mystery of Martinville." Written by Charles Delacroix on IMDb.com
    Reviews:
    "During my era, the sixties, The Twilight Zone and Bonanza were household titles, and Rod Serling was a household name, as were the names of the four main characters of Bonanza. Having seen this Bonanza episode more than once, I find it to be one of my favorites. And though Cy Chermack wrote it, with all due respects to Serling he could not have outdone Chermack, at least not in this case. (Of course, Rod Serling did have a few Old West episodes.) The start is not an anomaly: on a very hot summer day Little Joe is riding through the desert, sees a man lying on the ground, attempts to help the man, only for that latter man to rise, pull a gun on him and steal his horse which had a set of saddlebags on its back which, in turn, contained two thousand dollars. After the outlaw rides away Little Joe goes to the nearby town where, naturally, he is extremely fatigued; a very attractive teen-age girl, performed very well by Davey Davidson in this one of her earliest roles, nurses Joe back to health. He learns from some of the people there in the town of Martinsville that they are scared of an outlaw band that had once marauded the town which is filled with scared people. At the same time the late sheriff's wife is cold, non-smiling, and bitter because her husband had been killed previously, thanks to, again, the cowardly denizens. (The tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed Doris Dowling would have been attractive if she had not portrayed the type of character she did.) Because they had helped them and, thus, he wants to do them a favor, Little Joe is made sheriff, and one of the main duties he feels needs to be done is for him to instill bravery in the wincing people there. Toward the end the outlaws return, some of the men go against those outlaws who are settled in the nearby cliffs, and Little Joe kills the outlaw leader, only to discover that he actually killed the man who had robbed him. After Joe's brothers and father finally find him, he briefly shares with them about Martinsville. Of course, the sometimes-hard-headed Joe does not believe the brief account Ben, in turn, shares with him when he tells Joe that Martinsville has been a ghost town for many years, and it had been cursed. Because of the supernatural/surreal aspect of this episode, it has definitely been unforgettable to me. Again, The Twilight Zone has nothing to surpass this." Written by daviddaphnered on IMDb.com

    Little Joe Cartwright. A man, a town and an unwanted opportunity. He found himself no longer forced but driven to defend a people who once failed to defend themselves.

    Little Joe, ghosted! 👻
    Davey Davidson who played Joe’s haunting love interest, Louise, was all over TV shows in the late 50s, 60s and 70s. You can see her from Rawhide to Mannix to Rich Man, Poor Man and about 200 other guest appearances on TV.
    Doris Dowling who plays the former sheriff’s wife (and at first appears to personify evil) is straight out of the great black and white film noir era of Hollywood. Many films worth watching.

      A-train: This is why I'm OK with watching decent movies or shows more than once. I can watch from different points of view, looking for things other than following the plot as the main thing after the first time. Or understanding certain plot hints better (being more obvious once you know the story, etc).
      Good shows take good work from a variety of people, and it's great to see how it all comes together.

      No Coward will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, says the only Lord, Master & Savior of Mankind, recorded in the last few verses of the last Book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.

      @@user-pd7il3xz5j watched The Twilight Zone young and got really creepy comic books mixed with funny ones in a stack whenever we got sick - wouldn't have minded. There were books of fairy takes, some pretty grisley from various cultures that we could check out of libraries too. And any weird relative that told a good ghost story was valued by kids.
      I had to add on: You may be right on very young, as Psycho and 13 ghosts disturbed me then. But I read early and covered The Red Pony & Lost Horizon in second grade (didn't much understand but recognized it 13 years latter when flipping channels). After that I still read kids books, but there wasn't any keeping me out of anything.
      The difference was it was never sold or pushed on us like some disgusting books now days.
      With my own. Youngest self-censored even during prime time, turning his back & preferring to run the ceeks and woods to TV. The one older went to a few flicks with disturbing scenes. but it is different if a parent is there to explain them. She turned Clan if The Cave Bear's Aylla into twins, then added Emilio Estavez as Billie the Kid into imaginary play pals during a time when I had to work too much, so I tend to think that protection is wise as long as imagination isn't stifled. And a few of the cartoons I've watched with a grandchild are disgustingly indoctrinating-though widely praised anyhow.
      By 12, I'd just walk in a drugstore and buy whatever book I wanted- too long a story. For most very little ones, you are right. I conceed.

People have been trained to be so fearful that they are willing to give up all of their freedoms. Our World War II veterans must be turning in their graves. They fought and gave their lives for our freedoms and we are throwing them all away without a fight. Willing participants in our own demise and too dumb to see it.

      @Bon River. I also want to point out that everything that the corrupt lying msm has been saying about Ukraine is false. The Ukraine President Zalenskyy is a Communist Marxist dictator and the Russian President Putin is a White Hat. The truth is that the Deep State, including those in America have put at least 300 BIOWEAPONS LABS in Ukraine! President Putin has been destroying those labs by bombing them. He did warn the citizens in Ukraine to move out, but some of them ignored him. I read that Putin has also rescued 20,000 children in Ukraine from the child traffickers! The Deep State, including the msm, keeps lying because they want to start WWIII. Why? Because they want to have America fight Russia. Why? Because in their sick and demonic world they hate that they weren't able to succeed in pushing their Russian interference hoax that they tried to accuse Trump of winning the 2016 Presidential Election with. The Deep State are definitely Satanists, including the entire Biden regime!! The FBI, CIA, and the DHS are all corrupt. The Deep State's plan to start WWIII isn't going to work though because President Trump has been working with President Putin. Actually, I heard that the White Hats put a double in for President Putin.

    Nice one.
    It's got all the earmarks of it. Yep
    Now all it needs is that opening, spoken masterfully in that timeless characteristic biting intense clipped edgy signature voice of a legendary dapper sophisticated cigarette wielding producer, famous for his serious pertinent monologues that goes something like the following:
    Portrait of a sturdy young man named Joseph Cartwright, or known commonly as "Lil Joe", the youngest of three Brothers who with their Father, Ben Cartwright, owns and operates one of the largest and riches timberlands in Nevada, called, as we all know as that leading star of a popular Western TV show, The Ponderosa . Right now, as he's returning home from a business deal, alone on horseback, his Father and brothers are preparing a surprise birthday party for Joseph, but he won't be there to celebrate the special occasion with them. Instead a turn of events will have him wonder into a desolate forgotten town, who's only inhabitants are empty decrepit buildings, visited only by tumble weeds, wails of lonely winds, and vagrant desert dust. But Joseph will soon find out that this town, seemingly deserted, is still occupied by it's townsfolk, only to have long ago moved away and taken up permanent residence in another town, where they are waiting to meet him, but it's a different unique town, a kind of town which can't be found on a map, except that of The Twilight Zone.

    This episode is very similar to facing our demons, or our ghosts that scare us the most, and little Joe, did what we all should be doing, he faced his demons or ghosts in the abstract of our psyche. I'm well aware of what this is like and do this every day, by acknowledging my demon's and facing them every day, one such demon, the ghost is fear, fear has been in my psyche since I was a child, both of my parents displayed the physical aspects of fear, by threatening, creating contention, physical beating's and enjoying beating on me and justifying those beating were based on assumptions that were not real, only self-created. And so much more. This episode was interestingly shocking, the huge positive is when big ol Hoss and Adam were ready and willing, enough to convince Ben to go look for little joe, and found him, and then the shock of no one but the horse thief and little Joe were there, ha.

    This is one of my favorite. Along with Death At Dawn. The farmer said I killed a preacher once. Asked why? He said for preaching at me.

    There are several weird ghost towns in Nevada. For real. Been in a few of them.

    Rod Serling had a deep influence on Hollywood. So did Alfred Hitchcock. Out of
    Character episode in the Bonanza milieu--but engaging. Gunsmoke also paid Homage to Serling in its episode, "Coventry" and "No Hands."
