Reviews:
"This Bonanza story has Little Joe being a witness to a bank robbery. Later on while tracking the bandits he comes across doctor's widow Faith Domergue in an isolated cottage. Soon enough they're joined by the bandits, first a wounded Paul Richards with the loot and his two henchmen.

The wounded Richards keeps the other two in line only because he's hidden the loot. But James Beck and Vito Scotti are a real pair of specimens.

The character of Faith Domergue as a lonely widow with some needs is established and real.. But I kind of think that falling for Richards is a bit much." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"I dunno, I just thought this one was rather strange... Maybe it wouldn't have been so odd if they hadn't added the saxophone music throughout, but I just couldn't take it seriously. The story was pretty good; I think mostly it was the music that threw me. It was somewhat realistic that the widow, being as tough, lonely and independent as she was, would fall for the villain. He had a gentle, thoughtful manner about him that would appeal to her, and I think she could handle the rest of him. I think the romanticism was definitely a bit too Hollywood, but otherwise, it made a pretty good story." Written by Charity92 on IMDb.com
