Storyline:
Bob Jolley is an angry young man who confronts Judge "Hanging Harry" Whitaker about unjustly sentencing his father to death. An attempt on the life of the chief witness leads Adam to wonder if Bob might be right. Powerful interests, including a senator and a railroad, seem to have wanted Bob's father dead. Adam learns that a gunman has apparently been hired to silence Bob. Adam, with the support of his brothers and his father, must defend Bob and bring the truth to light. Written by Charles Delacroix on IMDb.com
Review:
"The Cartwrights are entertaining Judge Otto Kruger at the Ponderosa who has a good but strict reputation on the bench. At the same time young Keir Dullea comes into Virginia City accusing the judge of an unfair trial in regard to his father who the judge sentenced to hang some months ago.
When the chief witness at the trial Kevin Hagen is wounded and when gunman Ron Soble tries to pick a fight with Dullea it's Adam Cartwright who appoints himself a one man Warren Commission to investigate the whole matter. The results point to a lot of corruption in high places.
This episode belongs to Pernell Roberts who conducts himself like a prosecuting attorney in that last scene. The guest cast is uniformly fine and that includes William Zuckert as a smarmy senator.
One for Pernell Roberts fans." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Growing up i used to like little Joe but after watching all the reruns in CZcams adam was sure darn outstanding. RIP ADAM, was never the same when you left Bonanza.
As a boy, Adam was never my favorite; now I´m seeing him in another light, and I like his character.
It takes brains to appreciate Adam.
I think Ray Teal was the best sheriff ever on the show. I like that guy.
What about Kurt's father, Bing Russell?
@@kenchristie9214Both were great.
Pernell Roberts' performance in dramatic / comical scenes - so damn excellent , no one could ever take that talent away from him ... NO ONE at all . Superb job . R.I.P. 💐
I TOTALLY AGREE! HE IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!!!!
@@rhondawoodhouse5508 Me too, I Agree.
@@rhondawoodhouse5508😅😅😅
30:09 That's one of the hammiest deliveries I've ever seen. What talent was there to take?
@@linsqopiring6816Pernell Roberts is a legend and one of the most talented actors ever! Master both tv and theatre. What is it that you dont understand?
Huh, I like Pernell Roberts so much, great action!
Awesome performance by Pernell Roberts! 👏👍
🤠👌🎬🍿
I just love Adam!
So sad when Adam left the show.
So do I Hannah.
Gosh I just LOVE Adam. Pernell Roberts was such a fine actor, he commands the scenes he's in.❤Another great episode!
He was my Mom's favorite also.
I love the cartwright rip to their beautiful souls
Adam's the Stud!
😍😍😍 oh Adam
i like when Adam has the lead roll
Wow the Cartwright's really man crush!
What sort of roll did he have here? Dinner roll? Crescent roll? Rock and roll?
Mr Parnell made Bonanza the great show that it was
Hoss
Ben , Adam , Hoss and Little Joe all of The Cartwright Clan made the show TaTa August 17 , 2022
No the entire ensemble cast made it a great show, not just Pernell Roberts.
Fantastic Episode starring Adam
Adam the triple threat ❤️
🐄 rancher.. cowboy 🤠.. detective 🕵️♂️
@donovan Hendricks They don’t have an emoji for that 🤪
@@fearfullywonderfullymade860 LOL
One of the most inspiring moments in any show is when a person stands up for another person not because they like them or even agree with them but because it is right.
I love this episode, Adam was not a farmer but a good lawyer
rancher
Adam and his family were never farmers, they were ranchers.
Still went on after he left. The repeats that r on now r ones after he left.
Each of the Cartwrights were big on truth and justice.
juju a
Joza Texan
And greedy on the amount of land they had...
Yaaahooo thank you thank you for another great episode i Love guys for this more Adam please please
Wow! Adam Cartwright was an excellent detective! Colombo would be proud. That was quite an ending! I really liked this episode.
🎬❤️
'I despise people who descend to hatred.' Now there's a statement if ever I've heard one! LOL
Yeah, some people don't like other people, and I hate people like that. 😁
How many "old friends" does old Ben Cartwright have scattered across heaven and earth? 431 episodes worth
That's about right. And they all trickled in one week at a time.
Much more!
LOL!
And how many of those 'old friends' ended up stabbing him in the back for his wealth? Proves money isn't everything.
🤠🤑🧛🧛♀️
Cartwright is really a big school. Through it many excellent actors graduated.
"Sticking neck out for the underdog". 🥳🥳🥳 THANKS 🤗🥰🙏🤝🕊
Happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in! 🤠✌🍿🎬
Lol...minute mark @29:29 this is the reason some do not like Adam, but this is the reason I do. 😘😘😘😘😘
An extremely well acted and written theatrical performance by all actors. The beauty of story telling espoused by Pernell and the other actors is why theater is so beneficial to the art of the story telling leading a culture into the honor, integrity and value of asking valuable question's.
Excellent appraisal and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks for your insightful post!
yv0
I like that Hoss just casually breaks someone's hand and is like, "Walk it off." 🤣
Yeah I really like adam
Adam is the coolest wisest, bravest just outright cool dude!!! 👍
An extremely well-scripted, acted and directed episode. One of Pernell's best performances as Adam. He was truly a highly talented yet underrated actor. Keir Dullea, Otto Kruger, William Zuckert, Kevin Haven and Ron Soble all shone in their supporting roles. Once again, Adam is the brains of Bonanza with a heart to match. The humanity of this series is truly humbling. I especially liked Keir's Bob Jolley facing the truth about his flawed but innocent father and his guilt over his father's lonely, tragic death. A very moving episode that still resonates after more than five decades. That is the true test of any art form, especially drama. Many thanks again for airing this fine episode.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in! 🤠✌🍿📺
To bad he didn't stay on the show. it would have been better for him in the long run.
@@hannahcruz1440 Pernell never regretted leaving the show. He went on to an award-winning theater career and a more satisfying and lucrative TV gig as the lead on Trapper John MD. Pernell also was a social and political activist, having marched for civil rights with Dr. King at Selma. He may have foregone making millions of dollars had he stayed on Bonanza, but he led a million-dollar life in values, in my humble opinion. Most important, he did it his way, to paraphrase Paul Anka's song. That's what counts.
@@hannahcruz1440 can B C n he was a little bit of. - x. F3@. Jacket (; && c ) )
@@arlineabdalian8974 Well said! D Dortort admitted he had been too hard on Pernell and hadn't appreciated him enough and he enhanced any part he was given, He left the door open for Pernell to come back but as we know he never did. When Pernell agreed to the part he was promised diversity in the role but it didn't happen, Pernell tried for 3 years to give suggestions to improve his part but they were rejected, he asked to work on a part time basis so he could do other things but D Dortort refused so for the next 3 seasons Pernell gave up trying and saw his contract out . For his own sanity he did not renew his contract and left and the 7th season onwards was not the same and lacking in losing the Adam character. Pernell went on to bigger and greater things and had a lucrative career....What would you do for your own peace of mind and sanity, in todays world mental health is an issue but back then Pernell decided it was for his mental health that he left...I applaud him! RIP Pernell!
Another good show with great acting and story line about how law can be twisted holding back evidence.
Really, one of the best episodes I've seen.
Awesome to hear. Thanks for tuning in! 🤠✌🍿🎬
Pro tip : watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Duncan Xander yup, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)
The Crucible is another one.
L
Now THAT was a great moment for Hoss. Far from being the eternal doofus, he's a force to be reckoned with!
Outstanding performance by Pernell Roberts again and again, the supporting actors and what a great story behind, and a superb directing. Thanks for the upload 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very well written and acted episode.
Love all the Cartwright's. But Adam is my favorite. That's a cowboy...
Oooo, Pernell Roberts at his best! Gotta love that man!💕 Excellent series-Bonanza. Thanks again for the uploads.👍🤗✌️
Bonanza I think the best written and acted western series in the history of TV !!! And didn't have to be trashy or dirty to be great !!!
@Ponderosa Ranch my how things have turned for the worst
No, that would be The High Chaparral
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath neck and neck !! Too close to call !!! Bonanza to me was more western to me because of the ranch work and local town !!! Less refined to me made it better more like John Wayne west !!!! By the way nobody from either show could ever out cowboy the DUKE !!!!!
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath Don't get me wrong when I was a kid I watched the High Chaparral-wild wild west and every John Wayne movie I could find !!!!! The Duke was just so different then everybody else it's almost hard to explain !!!! To me he was the perfect cowboy and then I really loved Hoss !!! Just a simple big ole cowboy !!!!!
This was a great episode. None of that ridiculous silliness. This is the kind of story I watch Bonanza for.
It was excellent. I admit, I watch for both types of stories.
I like the silly episodes. They were all such great comedic actors. The serious episodes are great though
I usually don’t like silly episodes on tv shows that are dramatic but I laughed all the way through the comedic Bonanzas!
Though,
Some of their slapstick was hilarious.
How about Hoss's first taste of the spaghetti
Keep them episodes coming
Yaaaaasssss
I really liked this one too.
Lol. 😃Adam walked over to that guy and motioned him to get up out of his chair. Then he stood up in the chair, propped is leg up on the table and his presence commanded attention...Baby!!! I loved it...mmm.
19:04
"Open the jail cell door, adam"
"I'm sorry, bob. I'm afraid i can't do that"
Hal on startreck ‘sorry I can’t do that’
@@cindykaywebster4643 Ummm...we know. That's why we "liked" it.
My absolute favorite of the Bonanza series! Soo glad I found this. Many Thanx!👍👍👍🤗✌️
Seems like Pernell show have done a lawyer show. He sure was awesome at that on this episode!
The , Cartwright ,man crush never stops 🤭
I love Adam so handsome
childish...
I wish he would have shaved more often though. In half the episodes, he looks like a running ad for Brand X razors.
Love this episode!
Glad you enjoyed it! You may also enjoy this film: czcams.com/video/XNBj75M0C9o/video.html
Adam is the heart and soul of the family❤
I wished Keir Dullea featured in more episodes of Bonanza.
Actually, the senator was the culprit and blame was on the young fellow Jolly. He was accused of the murder. But at last he was released from the jail because Adam Cartwright fought the case and did his best and released him. Everybody knew who the culprit was. Fantastic episode! Another thing that Jolly was so handsome man, so innocent. I liked him very much. This episode touched my heart. Nice episode. I liked it.
great
Awesome job on this episode Adam! Very good!

If only such outcomes were possible today.
Thankfully, the more civlised governments have abolished capital punishment.
@@kenchristie9214 & now civilized country turns violent criminals loose to assault or murder us.
There’s nothing like the sweet smell of some ‘Cartwright Justice’ in the morning!😊
26:19 Hoss to the rescue
EXCELLENT!
The senator has the perfect credentials to be one of the top doj bosses of today.
Excellent episode, as others have noted. Even the camera work and editing were a bit above average. For interesting camera work, check out the episodes directed by Robert Altman.
Keir Dullea went on to a sucessful hollywood career.
Another nail biting episode. Noice.
one of my favorite episodes!
Because Brando and Dean had made the Rebel movies new idols many of the actors that would have been leading men in movies had turned to television. In my opinion they are far better actors but they don’t fit the Rebel mode. But that’s why these older TV shows are so good because of the high talented actors they had on the show.
Adam, seems to be always right a
👍👌👌😍🥰😘💕⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
About the 10th time watching this episode..
AMAZING!
Thanks 👍🏽👌🏽
No problem 👍
Nevada didn't have federal senators until 1865, after the statehood was rushed through just prior to Lincoln's win in the 1864 presidental election. This story is set in the 3 1/2 years period that the Nevada Territory existed prior to this, when they didn't have senators.
Who cares? but,
Thanks for the history lesson
@@adamfox9245 My pleasure.
👍👌👏 Great performances! Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
I love bonanza
Very good
Good show
I would like to be around in a hundred years to see the movies that are made about our judicial system in America and the year 2023.
I was going to marry Adam when I grew up. Was never fussed about little Joe, but I loved Hoss as well.
Rat Politicians, wow, it never changes.
You do realize he's a FICTITIOUS Senator don't you?
Mirrors the awareness of it in the decades it was produced, sure.
My boy hors n Joe 🤙
1:06 Looks like an intense photograph.
its ok. ben still loves him
I think that judge was a spineless wimp. Instead of doing his duty as a judge, he caved in and did not have the balls to stand up for justice. This is especially galling in a capital case, when a man’s life was at stake. The senator and that other man were just crooks, but a judge who violates his oath … I just cannot stomach that at all.
How many innocent deaths wo Adam to defend them... Wild West was a scary place to live.
Roy Coffey was a very inept sheriff. His role was a legal official ignorant to the process of the law.
Bonanza's version of Maxwell Anderson's Winterset.
Put your hands up young man! I'm sorry Hoss, I'm afraid I can't do that
Hello, I'm Ben Cartwheel, of the Ponderous Ranch.
Amen
Nowadays, there's no fighting over property wanted for the RR. They make an offer, or declare imminent domain. Anyone shooting gets prison.
The slow camera pan of the town banner is a significant part of US History--the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Bonanza had much sensitivity to present this. Also to hire Perry Lopez, Alex Montoya and Rafael Lopez(no relation to Perry).
Love bananza
Benjamin Cartwright has many friends, because he been around the nation.
AMEN
Grjngo, do you have the episode where Ben Cartwright first met Adam's mother? I would love to watch that one!

In the opening scene, they can be seen loading the wagon with sacks of grain. If they own the biggest ranch in Nevada, why don't they just grow all that grain and whatnot? They are all the time going into town to buy supplies that the land they own could easily supply.
They use that land for range and pasture. Grain takes plowing, seeding, irrigation, harvesting and threshing. All that takes equipment and manpower. Time and money.
They’re ranchers, not farmers.
EYES are your Best Lessener
In the opening scene, I thought the old guy on the wagon (the judge) was Bob Barker.
LOL. I think Barker was a LOT taller.
Me gusta bonanza ya he visto la serie en español ahora me sale en inglés. Cómo hago para la traducción.
